**Patrick Daugherty** (0:16)
Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Rotoworld Football Show. I'm Patrick Daugherty, joined by Denny Carter. Tuesday, August 25th, 2026 All the news that's fit to print today, Denny Carter. Ashton Jeanty, thankfully, avoiding the worst with his ankle injury, but not questionable for what he did. He's been playing for a long time, his ankle injury, but not questionable for week one. We'll break down the situation. Kayshon Boutte, now a Houston Texan. Deshaun Watson, now somehow a starter again. Breece Hall may be ready for week one. David Montgomery already getting committed by the great Woody Marks, some are saying, Denny. Speaking of committees, maybe one in Carolina in that backfield, maybe one in Dallas, Deshaun Stribling mania, all that and more when we come right back after this.
Denny, we would be remiss if we did not mention the death of an American legend, Dolly Parton, RIP at 80 years old. One of the people that definitely felt like she would just never die.

**Denny Carter** (1:06)
I never even thought about her not being a program. Really.

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:09)
I never even considered the possibility. Shows up in my mailbox several times a month, we're part of the Dolly Parton reading program.

**Denny Carter** (1:15)
That's awesome.

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:16)
Three books to my children. They're all very good. She, I was to say, she wrote, she did not write them, but she did a curated an amazing program.
Yeah, very sad news.

**Denny Carter** (1:25)
Yeah, used her resources for good. It was- I know. Imagine that. It's something folks should look into. Yeah.

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:31)
A lot of our main nation's billionaires are like, you can do that.

**Denny Carter** (1:34)
No.

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:36)
That's actually shocking. I don't know, Denny. Actually shocking is that I went to Las Vegas?

**Denny Carter** (1:43)
Yeah. I didn't go.

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:45)
Yeah.

**Denny Carter** (1:45)
Where were you?

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:46)
Where were you?

**Denny Carter** (1:47)
I was furious. So I actually was home because my sister-in-law is getting married in October and she was having...

**Patrick Daugherty** (1:54)
So first of all, your story is shifting. At first, you said you had a wedding.

**Denny Carter** (1:57)
No, no, no. You kept saying... So you kept saying the wedding, the wedding, and I kept repeating...

**Patrick Daugherty** (2:03)
I actually did think you were kind of...

**Denny Carter** (2:04)
Correcting you.

**Patrick Daugherty** (2:05)
Correcting me.

**Denny Carter** (2:07)
And you never acknowledged it. And so I was like, whatever. He just thinks I have a wedding.

**Patrick Daugherty** (2:13)
I did until this very second.

**Denny Carter** (2:14)
I know. It wasn't a wedding.
It was a wedding shower. And it was actually Dolly Parton themed. And there was a big Dolly cutout, cardboard cutout. People were taking pictures of it. They were dressed up as cowboys and cowgirls. So it was a cool thing. And anyway, I was not there. I'm wondering if you were able to control yourself. And I guess because the inside joke here, folks, is that every time Pat and I go to Vegas, I think twice now, we are dead set on having a good time, but not too good, you know, and making sure we drink a lot of water if we're going to have more than 2.5 hard seltzers or beers. So did you stay? Were you good?

**Patrick Daugherty** (3:03)
Or oh, yeah, I've got the opposite problem. There's some people like, like, dude, you've got to stop. Like, you can't keep going this hard for 40 My opposite problem is like, you could go a little harder. You actually could go a little harder than this. I'm not going hard. I did forget to have dinner Friday evening. That was a bit of a problem. I was feeling a little loopy on Friday evening. Thankfully, this being Las Vegas, my hotel for whatever reason had a Chick-fil-A in the lobby.
Had some midnight chickie nugs.

**Denny Carter** (3:34)
Oh, that's so good.

**Patrick Daugherty** (3:35)
They were so, so good.

**Denny Carter** (3:37)
I love it. The Chick-fil-A, what is it? The spicy chicken sandwich.

**Patrick Daugherty** (3:43)
Oh my God.

**Denny Carter** (3:44)
I actually ordered that the other day and I had to go sit in the drive-through waiting area for like 15 minutes and I wasn't even mad. I just wanted my spicy chicken.

**Patrick Daugherty** (3:54)
Does anybody know? Can someone listen to the show? What is the spicy chicken penalty when you order them at these places? Growing up, my brother and I loved to partake in rallies.
Known as zips or checkers, I believe, in some parts of the country.
