The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We made it! All the way to San Francisco. Host Dave Dameshek strolls down Lombard Street. Then travels down to media night in San Jose. Did ESPN anchors fall for his long running bit? (Coach, is this a must win game?) Of course they did. Then we chat with Seattle Seahawks great Matt Hasselbeck and Handsome Hank Hodgson on media row. Are we ready for the season to end? No. But we're going out in style on this episode of Football America! (Photo by Vera Nieuwenhuis/via AP) AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

The NHL is heading to Milan, but before it gets there, the gang is all here to discuss the fight involving Gavin McKenna outside a bar at Penn State this past weekend, which has the presumptive #1 overall pick possibly facing 20 years in prison.

In wins and fails, Roy celebrates highlights in the sport; David celebrates the US women getting off to a great start in Milan; Ethan cheers on Gustav Forsling, whooping up on JJ Moser; and Thunderbug has stolen Rose's heart.
