Postgame Show: Normalizing Apologizing (feat. JuJu Gotti)

We’ve got polls, JuJu wants to go full reckless, and there’s a top five coming—plus, help me tee up Greg Cody and JuJu’s play of the day.

Well, well… let’s call it: JuJu’s play of the day is here.

I biffed it earlier and I’m sorry; let’s make apologizing normal again, like Brock Purdy did yesterday.

We barely touched the Niners beyond that, and the Bears had a wild one where Jerry Jeudy had it taken from him in the end zone; JuJu, what sparked your list of sports things you want gone?

Watching yesterday had me heated, and I need accountability too—I even made hoodies clowning Dan, but he nailed the Chiefs, so I was wrong.

That shirt won’t sell, but Valerie’s getting me one.

First, dump taunting penalties; it’s a brutal game and guys get flagged for a tiny celebration while stars in the NBA can put on a full stage show without a whistle.

LeBron gets latitude nobody else gets, past or present.

He even grabbed a ref and only drew a tech.

And Dylan Brooks isn’t the guy to play heel to LeBron; he doesn’t have the stature.

He’s not a nobody, though—come on.

You’d recognize him if he walked in here.

Next, I want home teams in white again for some consistency, and I know that’s not a popular stance.

I’m with you—great take.

Also, the new kickoff setup drains drama; it makes the restart feel bigger than the scoring play, so move the spot back or, inside the final minute, put it at the one.

We are getting more live returns and some juice, though—Turpin nearly broke one.

I’ll toss it on the poll.

I’m out on the NBA’s gather-step morphing into five steps and a hop; call the walks.

Top gripe is replay assist picking spots; a clear drop on the Patriots’ opening drive didn’t get fixed, yet other times the booth jumps in to save a coach a challenge.

That’s the slippery part—sky officials deciding when to intervene.

If coaches only throw the flag when the video room gives a thumbs-up, where’s the leadership; when an opponent rushes to snap after a bang-bang catch, sometimes you should just toss the challenge.

Easy fix early in games—burn a first-half timeout to buy the booth time instead of risking the red flag.

All right, cue reckless speculation.

Allegedly, the refs had Cody Parkinson on their fantasy rosters; the book says he scored twice, but he was down near the goal line on one of those.

That’s a bridge too far—let’s hit the polls.

Did anyone think the Dolphins would outlast the Chiefs this season? Not really—about nine in ten say no. Do fans enjoy an announcer yelling holy guacamole? Surprisingly, most say yes.

Anyone care about Saints-Panthers? Ugly loss capped by a late hit that set up the winner.

Does Carolina finding a way to mess it up shock you?

Not at all—their season felt done after beating the Dolphins.

Quick shout-out to a local champion from Friday night—powerful speeches, champagne flying, real joy, and I heard Glenn Rice showed up.

He did, and our suite was so packed his team kept asking us not to block his view; wild scene.

Back to the polls: a statue twelve and a half times bigger than the person is too big, say most; Fernando Mendoza sounding like Jeremy looks is a resounding yes; Josh Pate might be a bit young to say he has birdies in his ear; and Desmond Bane is indeed on a delightfully villainous run.

Appreciate you, JuJu—talk tomorrow.

Yes, sir. God bless you, babe.
