(00:00):
It's Levak and Guz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. It's kind of
like a good and bad day forpast rushers of past and present. Heard
about the other Josh Allen. TheJags Josh Allen got pod aren't fetty million
dollars five years, one fitty,that's insane. It's a lot of money,
(00:24):
eighty eight million guaranteed. I reallywas hoping that was a dude who
was gonna go to free agency.I really thought that was And like,
obviously, like the Raiders have passrushers for days, they need tackles,
But you know, as me aRaiders fan, I think about like what
that dude could do there. Iloved the idea of the Bills having two
Josh Allen's. I just thought that'dbe like for me, if you go
(00:45):
to a media day, I wantto talk to Josh Allen, which one
Josh Allen just keeps saying it.Don't answer them. You know, you'd
be fun with the Giants whatever.So good day for that that pass rusher.
Not a great day for a formerall time eight pass rusher. He
Swizzle got arrested. It trell sugs, So this is crazy, all right.
(01:11):
I love caffee right, C four. I love C four coffee.
I'm not one of those people who'slike, don't talk me, jove at
my coffee. But i have dayslike that where I like, I can
catch myself being grumbling. I'm like, if I have a cup of coffee,
I'll pbably mello out a little bit. I've never felt the need to
brandish a firearm at Starbucks, Like, I've just never like I've not.
(01:33):
Maybe I hey, maybe I'm awhimp. Maybe I'm maybe I'm better adjusted
than we realize. You know,there's there could be some good things about
about me. Who knows. Buttwelve twenty eight, in the afternoon on
March tenth, Trell Suggs was inthe drive through at Starbucks and apparently he
drives past the the the order screen, the speaker, the whatever, goes
(02:00):
to back up to get back toit, ends up hitting a car behind
him. Both dudes get out,you know a little bit of like tenseness
ensues. There's no damage, Theyget back in their cars, They do
their order. Everything should be good, right, should be over. Allegedly,
once Suggs finishes his order, hemay have said something derogatory, you
(02:23):
know, maybe maybe you know akitty cat reference to the other driver,
to which the other driver starts swearingback, and then allegedly mister Suggs held
up his handgun, never actually pointingit at the other gentleman, but held
up his handgun, to which theother gentleman said, I believe he was
threatening me with that handgun, forwhich he was eventually pulled over and arrested.
(02:46):
Okay, don't mess with people whenthey don't have their coffee. Okay,
let that be a less than everybody. Knowing that those two are arguing
over cat videos on YouTube is anissue that's really taking over America. As
uh, I used to My yardused to be covered with pussy willows.
They were everywhere. Yeah, youjust couldn't get away from them. Something
(03:06):
like that too. There's a showcalled Super Kittens the kids are into now
that's on disney Port. Like oneaction will result in a consequence. If
we sat down with mister Sizzle misterSuggs and they thought, Okay, I've
got a gun in my car.Did you have the state here? By
the way, I believe it's Arizonabecause they were talking about and being an
(03:28):
Arizona State alumni Okay, so everystate, as we know, I brought
that up because different gun laws registeredwhere all that stuff does play effect or
potentially in this. But what heshowed the people the gune. Okay,
So when he shows the gun,what did he think the next result could
be? Like what would just tobe a tough guy, just to be
the athletes is to show on macho, because there could be a lot of
(03:50):
different results. If he slashed thegun and the other guys had a gun
could have shot him. He said, you right, you know, like
you raised it to me, Ithought I was in There could have been
so how many different things this happenedbecause that action of him doing that result
in him getting arrested. Like it'sgotta be the macho. This is a
class example about this athlete sucks areally good maybe not a Hall of Famer,
(04:12):
but right on that fringe of tryingto adjust to life as a regular
citizen but still trying to be atough guy in life. That's what this
sounds like to me. And alsoif being a six y three probably two
hundred and sixty maybe two hundred andseventy pound former NFL like he's forty one
now, if that's not intimidating enough. Like what is at that point?
(04:35):
Like, like, what do Ineed to do besides being a giant,
angry man who you've seen hit everyoneunder the sun in the NFL for years
and years, Like that should beenough, Like that should be intimidating.
I can't see myself going after Treellsucks. I just I feel like there's
(04:55):
points where you go, you knowwhat, that argument would have diminishing return.
I'm gonna shut up now. Ifthere's damage to my car, I
expect to transfer of insurance information.But that would be it. They said
there's no damage. It should havebeen over, but he kept going,
I get again, Sugs. Iguess escalated. The guy escalates it,
and then the gun goes up andnow here we go. I will there
(05:17):
is a there's an update. Wehave a statement from from Hot Nickels,
T Sizzle, Treil Sugs and thisis clearly not written by Til Sus or
Hot Nickels with as by the way, I want to make sure that was
one of the one of the whenthey do the the introduction on the bottom
screen like money Football. Years andyears ago, he was like I started
(05:39):
looking at Hot Nickels trail, sugshot Nickels, and that was like it
was. That was the end ofit. I'm like, oh, fifty
five, I get it, youknow, Okay, I get it all
right. So this is the thisis the statement that was actually was was
given through his uh eag Sports Rep. Denise White quote. I was in
(06:03):
a quiet area of Scottsdale in themiddle of the day in a Starbucks drive
through near my home when an incidenthappened with a vehicle behind me. I
was getting coffee. I was notlooking for any trouble. When the man
in the other vehicle escalated the situation, I feared for my own safety,
not knowing what his intentions were.Throughout the incident, I was the one
(06:27):
who felt in danger while fearing Iwould be followed home and for the safety
of my family nearby at my residence, and that's why I waved a gun
at him. I thought I hadthe last part. I don't believe you
or anything that was said there inthat statement. Oh my gosh. I
believe at some point he felt likehe may have been in danger, you
know what I mean? But couldhe have been in danger because of his
(06:47):
actions? Did he feel like heneeded to stop that guy from potentially following
him home. Probably would that guyhave followed you home if you hadn't called
him a P word and tell himyou would beat his a. I wonder.
I know these are just questions I'mforced to ask, but I'm caffeinated.
I've had coffee today. You know, I feel like if this is
maybe maybe tomorrow I won't drink coffee. We'll talk about this again and we'll
(07:12):
see how I react. Maybe allof a sudden, I'll be waving a
gun at you and the producer.At least, don't I don't have I
don't. I don't have a carrypermit. I don't do that. You
know it's gon seal. Uh.I'm just stories like this, that whole
set of even the excuse or apologywhatever statement whatever that. Oh, oh,
there's more. I didn't realize itwasn't just the P word. He
(07:35):
threw a little cracker in there too. Oh so it got it got racial?
Oh I thought there was a ritzcracker. Uh. Antonio Brown is
a big fan of Yeah. Itwas by the way, on social media,
what I'm gonna get a clown free? Since late twenty three, shirts
made painting out his favorite rich crackerof the month on social media. I
(07:57):
see. I think it's I don'tknow if it's sponsored yet or not,
but this is it. This ismy takeaway from the Sugs thing. I'm
telling you, And I know thisis a very blanketed statement and I don't
want to put every football player inhere, but it seems like the level
of testosterone, the level of ego, the level of arrogance fits a football
(08:18):
player more in this story than anyother sport. The only other one would
probably be fighter and an actual fighterboxer NMA fighter, because this seems all
about ego. Of like, lookhow strong I am? How could you
do that? I didn't make amistake? Do you want to fight about
it? That the switch that aguy likes Suggs seemed to have always turned
on, even collegen professional ranks.Of like, when you don't have that
(08:39):
outlet anymore, let's yell at aguy at a Starbucks at a few minutes
past noon on a regular day.It does it feels a little compensating,
you know what I mean? Likelike you, the other one, I
would say, I think you're right, Like the former NFL athlete, the
former fighter, the former you know, macho action star, Like like I
(09:00):
see steven Sagall doing something stupid,maybe not the gun, just maybe just
waddling over and tossing somebody breaking theirarm or something, you know, just
something crazy. But like this,this just it just seems it's so ridiculous.
You're just going to get a cupof coffee next thing, you know,
you're gonna be You could go tojail because you shouldn't let it go.
You backed into him too, Likehonestly it could have been resting.
(09:24):
It sounded like it was over,and then you kept it going. But
trying to think who, like nowyou've said, like I see you have
another ablem. Trying to think ofother stories recently, Like there's that story
about Sylvester Stallone on the set ofTulsa King where the casting crew is left
because allegedly he was mean to everyoneand calling people fat asses and stuff like
(09:46):
that. But I mean it,guys, is that true? That's what
that's the allegation anymore? I'm okaywith it that it's Sylvester Stallone. The
guy's one hundred and five year yearsold, and he looks better than any
of us. Ever, he cancall me a fat ass. He's allowed.
(10:07):
Was he in character? Was hedoing like method acting and that's why
people got mad with just being ajerk. It sounds like it was one
of those situations where it was likehe was trying to get a certain thing
set up on set and it wasn'tworking out, and he was like listening
to you tubble guts you know orwhatever. Like it sounds. It's what
it sounds, but it's also anallegation. But like these are like if
I was in am I shocked thatTrel Sucks was in a physical altercation.
(10:31):
No, I'm not, am Ishocked that there was a gun involved.
Not really, He's had that reputationof being trying to be a gangster,
a tough guy, and then stalloanlike I've never seen him act that way.
But if you a guy who worksout that much is going to comment
on other people who don't work outat all, he's gonna do it.
I don't know how this has happenedtoday, but twice today both our guy
(10:52):
Jakin Seals and our guy Tristan who'sa part of our news department here on
our sister station WQY, somehow bothtold stories of their time in college with
me today, like whatever happened sparkedthese stories came up today. But at
the end of both conversations we hadwe all three of us agreed we had
cameras in college, but I'm gladit wasn't going on Snapchat or Twitter or
(11:15):
fake like everything you did was alwayson there. This is gonna be a
weird connection. But pro wrestling fans, we gave you some love this week.
One of the big stories in prowrestling tonight is that on a e
w All Elite Wrestling, they're gonnarelease the tape of the fight between the
late Luke Perry son Jack Perry andCM Punk. Now, this is not
a storyline. They got in areal fight, a real basically, yes,
(11:43):
and Punk gave an interview to theMMA Hour with Aril Halwani and told
the story and they're like, no, no, no, that didn't happen,
and we've got the footage and we'regonna show you tonight. So this
situation with Sugs, Like Suggs hasa version of his story, these guys
have a version of their story.I'm sure there's a camera right Starbucks drive
through. There's gotta be a camerathere, and they got to actually see
the car. So there's got tobe like, now these he said,
(12:07):
she said, he said, hesaid. Stories all get squashed sooner rather
than later, because it's like,well, let's go to the videotape,
shall we. Let's see how thisplayed out. And athletes in particular,
unfortunately, and celebrities, but athletesto get caught in the whoa, I
busted out the cell phone. Iknew you were going to get baited into
this. I can spin this howeverI wants so. Uh, Terrell Suggs,
(12:28):
if you are telling the truth,I think a camera will eventually set
you free of what really happened.I see I. I definitely agree with
you. There's probably a camera.There's folage somewhere. But they pulled him
over almost a full month after theincident. I feel like the investigation has
been done and they already are prettyclear they saw the footage. Yeah yeah,
and it's like, all right,here's your here's your night in court.
(12:50):
Because he went and had a hearingit and he doesn't dispute any of
it. He doesn't in that statement. It doesn't say I didn't wave a
gun, the gub was never pointedat him. Stuff like that's him out
there. But I I was,I was afraid. I was. I
feared for my safety. It's raisedgonna follow me home to my family,
which are smart things to say inthis situation because then you seem almost justified
(13:13):
for it. But it doesn't.It's he doesn't. He's never been like
a nice guy, you know whatI mean. He's never been and I
don't know. He might have friendswho feel it completely the opposite, but
I've never seen him do an interviewor anything where I went, that's a
guy I want to I want towatch football with I. I've seen every
(13:35):
interview, I've seen every game whereI go. That's a guy I want
to watch play football for as longas he possibly can. You know,
but this, this is not thisthis this is one of those ones where
I Goterrrelle sucks in an incident.No, like I just I don't like
I okay, you know that thathappened. But just the the joke for
me is, man, that dudeneeded some caffeine at twelve twenty eight in
(13:56):
the afternoon, Like I maybe ifhe had had a coffee firms like maybe,
Like I don't know, b Arthurpopped into the other seat. It's
like, here's a Snickers in ain a vente latte. Maybe this whole
thing never happens, the swizzle.You're not yourself when you're this hungry.
But it was just b Arthur inthe commercial. I thought it was the
late Betty White. Are you gettingyour old Golden Girl? People mixed up?
(14:20):
I mean sure, I mean okay? Was it Bob Wolf later in
his career, Arthur, he's listening. You know what we can't recover when
we break back. This is FoxSports ninety five. Daddy. But before
we go back, tells me ourfriends over at Mohawks Chevrolet. I thought
(14:41):
you never asked. I love MohawksChevy. Together, Let's drive a Mohawks
Chevrolet Exit twelve off of the NorthWay. Amazing facility. This is when
you know that you have a greatfacility. Mohawk Chevrolet is so beautiful that
it's it's cousin dealership. MOHAWKNDA hadto get redone like. That's how good
Mohawks Chevy is. And the selectionand the people and the knowledge. I
(15:03):
just I have yet to go inthere and not see a room full of
smiling faces. Not just you know, Travis Horne the GM Katie Duncan,
the assistant GM Andy Gelcher, allthe you know, all the all the
wonderful reps there to help you.But the people buying their vehicles are always
in a great mood too. Theysold one of those souped up Camaros,
so like, if you wanted oneof those, better hurry out. I
think there's only one left. Butwhatever is looking for Camaros, Silverado Tracks
(15:28):
the perfect vehicle for you, You'regonna find it. And with the financing
department, with so much experience andso many connections, you're gonna get the
perfect deal for yourself. Together,let's drive at Mohawk Chevrolet, where they
always go out of their way toplease you. It's Lavak and Guz on
ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.Man, as you know, we we
(15:50):
talk a lot about the upcoming fireBird season. The fire Wolves season has
been a stir wrong one and eventhough the regular season is close to the
endefully we are nowhere near the endof Firewalls actually are joined by forward number
six in your programs, Alex Simmons, Alex Man, I just I can't
tell you enough how much the Capitalregion appreciates just how well you guys are
(16:12):
playing this season. Yeah, it'sbeen great, although we're on a bit
of a skid right now. It'sbeen great to get to support. We've
got an MVP arena and all oversocial media, and it's nice to kind
of have that support on our back, and it's definitely a fueled us at
the end of the year here.It's been cool seeing the hype, especially
the most recent game, although itdidn't go in favor of what you guys
(16:33):
I hope the attack. Like seeingsome old school fans come out and the
appreciation and the uniforms. You guysmust have felt that that this nostalgia really
sparked a whole different fan base overin the most recent game. Definitely,
it was really cool for us toput on that jersey. It was really
cool to kind of, you know, read and listen about all the history
that the attack had, although itwas only there for a few years.
(16:56):
It was nice having Derek Gibson therelate for the attack as our head coach,
and you know, that's the kindof cool stuff, right It's kind
of it's nice to make the gamea little bit interactive with the fans and
and kind of have them come outto the stadium and watch us play in
that kind of in that kind ofera. It was really cool and the
music was awesome, you know,putting back into the retro into the nineties,
(17:18):
eighties and seventies. So that waskind of cool, and I think
it sparked a little excitement for theteam. Was uh, was coach clark
a little twitchy? I mean,that was like a big rival of his
back of the day. I think, you know what, It's funny Clarky
wasn't too bad about it. Heyou know, he's a businessman at heart,
and I think that he was justready to get a win even though
we didn't get it. He preparedus really well. But you know,
(17:41):
Gibby couldn't stop wearing his jersey andlooking at it back at the old times.
And I think we just need himto close the yearbook a little bit.
You know, he joined us theweek before. He was so excited
to talk about the attack. Hehad all these stories. I'm glad there
was some healthier ribbing going on.See, this is the difference between college
and professionals. You got pros likealex On they love the coach. Now,
coach, that's a little too muchOkay, you absolutely, I love
(18:06):
it man. Now that we getcloser and close to that playoff push,
Lavak was talking about still some regularseason games. How if it all is
the locker room changed and your guys'mindset changes, you know, these games
will decide and determine the seating andthe matchups that are coming up. Yeah,
it's an interesting time, I thinkright now in our locker room.
Right now, we're just keeping itone game at a time. We're not
(18:27):
really looking about seating or anything likethat. We just got to get this
next one. Uh. You know, the seating is obviously important, and
you know, we'd love to getin front of the Albany fans. I
think that's really important to us,But we can't really look ahead. We
have a really great at Pollent comingup in Fort Worth is kind of battling
right now to kind of get itin their playoff spot. So we're getting
(18:48):
everybody's best game right now. Soif we can kind of use that and
kind of get into our playoff pushand get you know, hot at the
right time, I think that's thisis a great opportunity for us. But
it's definitely I didn't kind of gettingtoward that time, and it's kind of
nice having, you know, thatseason that they had last year. It's
kind of really nice to you know, be in the situation now we're in
with such a heart starve that wehad earlier in the year. So it's
(19:11):
gonna be great. Alex Simmons ofthe Firewalls right now with us on Fox
Sports Radio ninety five nine eight.So, like, not everybody knows logistically
what you guys fight through just justto play each week. A lot of
you guys are on the road prettymuch non stop traveling. Does that wear
on you to this point? Likeis it or is it one of those
things where you can kind of wrapyour brain around no matter where these playoff
(19:33):
games end up being, I travelall the time anyway, so let's go
get them. Definitely earlier in theyear, it was definitely an adjustment you
never really I've never other than playingin college. You know, you don't
leave every weekend, but you knowyou have your team with you the entire
time, whereas now you kind ofhave a full time job throughout the week
nine to five and then head outon Fridays. I Mean sometimes it definitely
(19:55):
takes a tearidy a little bit,but you know, this is what we
signed up for. This is whatwe did all of our lives, you
know, kind of waiting to do. So it doesn't hurt that bad.
When you get to go play infront of thousands stands playing and game you
love, it doesn't really hurt thatmuch. But you know, right now,
obviously you feel the fatigue throughout thewhole season, and the planes can
get a bit a bit much.But you know, kind of like what
(20:19):
we were alluding to earlier, theplayoffs are coming up, so these these
flights and these these schedules are aren'ttoo bad right now. It's a pretty
exciting time, Alex. I gottaknow what the other job is. I
just imagine you, like as aninvestment bank or just checking people into the
glass whenever you need to. No, I'm actually the complete opposite of all
those because I'm Canadian. I haveto work in the lacrosse industry and I
(20:44):
actually direct a club program out herein Chicago, Illinois, all throughout the
week and all the months. Soit's it's I always have the stick in
my hand, which helps. Butno, I'm not one of those desk
jockeys like all the guys in ourteam. I love it now. I
just imagined like he's showing his playersall like, look, you're gonna blow
by this defender, like he playedfor Hobart, Like my all, my
mind. Look he's a Syracuse guy. Last time we spoke, he was
(21:07):
ripping my water. Here we go. I don't want to talk about the
Statesman or wherever you guys get calledthis. This radio show doesn't deserve that
boring of the story. I'm tellingyou. Thank you, Alec. I
appreciate it. He told me hewould tell me stories like they would throw
fishes at you guys and stuff whenyou would bust into the to their arenas.
Yeah, there was there's a couple. Yeah. And eggs too.
(21:29):
Eggs. He was a big one. They used to throw at us,
you know, which is pretty ironic. I mean, typically you don't throw
eggs at a bus that just camein and beat you by twenty goals.
What what I'm just gonna say,that's what happens when you go to an
all boys school. No, no, what I imagine. Here's what I
imagined my head, like it wasBobby Bouchet, like the water boy,
right, Like he'd use this fuelto have a fantastic season, Alex,
(21:53):
I guess that's not the case.You never thought about Hobart the inspiration Levac
and more particular, guys, thestate's been gay for you all season.
Uh No, I never you knowwhat, anytime Hobart's mentioned, I just
can't believe that there's a a championshipor a cop that even has to be
like played between us trop because it'sso lopsided now that it's just getting it's
(22:21):
getting old. The trophy doesn't eventhe trophy is killing us. I heard,
I heard they were going to remakethe trophy Alex, and it was
going to be a big hammer withan S on it and then a nail
with a little H on it.That's not true. That. Yeah,
well the nails pretty fitting considering they'vebeen in a coffin in Netflix, in
that in that in this tournament theentire time, I kind of want,
(22:44):
like, I just want to Iwant to take a sick day and I
want Alex to fill in for mefor the whole day and just to have
him abuse you. No, No, it's very busy. He's got many
things going on. I was alwaystold boys, I was I was meant
for the radio I think I coulddo it. See, we were meant
for the radio because the way welook, you just have a ghost as
a humor. You know what goodluck this weekend were. Although you give
me some healthy ribbon, we appreciateyour time today and we hope you do
(23:07):
well this season. Who knowlse Levacwill take you up on that offer for
real after this whole season wraps up, you might be making a co hosting
deput here on Lovakia guys at somepoint without I love that, boys.
I appreciate you having me on andman again, Alex, So you have
number six. Number six on theon the firebers is Darius Prince. We'd
love to get you guys together fora quick photo shooting a and a and
a game of catch. I'd loveto see him try to work a lacross
(23:30):
stick I think to be you know, it wouldn't be far off from what
the skill level is. From Syracuseto Hobart, Goodbye, good luck to
sweekends. All right, but it'sgone now. Oh man, he's that
count as a goal going into thenext game, like the disdain that he
(23:56):
has for the the Hobart Statesman,my alma mater, Yeah, oh my
God, that's that's hysterical. Ilove it. That's my favorite thing right
now because again, like I jokeabout it, but I don't what do
I really know about Hobart. Iknow two people who came from Hobart on
a like better than average level.I know you, and I know Matt
(24:18):
Wood's over at Belle four, whois a special consultant to the Firebirds.
Obviously a lot of respect for Matt. And then there's you. But man,
he just came for you with bothbarrels. That was awesome. He's
such a good player. He's hadsuch an impact. He is one of
the reasons I've been so happy.I know that sounds odd after that conversation,
(24:40):
but getting to know these Firewolf playersand coaches and the personalities and watching
them on social even if you're notthe biggest lacrosse fan, these guys make
it so easy to find out whothey are in root for them. And
I'm sure people who aren't Hobart alumnilike me enjoyed that roasting of me in
my own matter. And for real, like the back, you've done this
long enough, he could probably dothis. He could probably come on and
(25:03):
grab a microphone and talk sports andmake it entertaining and engaging to have fun
with it. So who knows.I think we're being serious. He I
don't know what a schedule is.It's gonna be busy the next few months.
If somebody doesn't ask him to docolor commentary for lacrosse, they're making
a mistake. Like obviously he's gota lot of gears on the turf,
on the on the grass left beforeyou know that that be a thing.
But if if he was cracking thosekind of jokes about people and just you
(25:26):
know, talking the way he talks, he'd be he'd be all over.
It'd be great. Maybe I wonderwhy he's doing this football season. I
wonder if it's not fair. No, no, maybe we get some Syracuse
talent for this piece. That wouldbe very busy. Next level, what's
your boy? Which boy? Andrewgo? And you're saying, tell he
went to Ithaca, Ehica and Syracuse. They'll start a broadcasting. That's pretty
(25:47):
good. That's pretty that's not badat all? Right there alb fire rolls
across social media. If you enjoyedthat interview, you want to share,
you want to give some comments andsome love to Alex. Also albody,
firewalls online, grab yourself some appareland all that good stuff. Keep your
eyes up into for the watch partiesfor the last two regular season games.
Uh and then hopefully, hopefully there'sa chance they're here on the April twenty
(26:07):
eighth, so you could have aweekend where it's Firebirds on Saturday twenty seventh,
and then it's FireWolves playoff game onthe on the twenty eighth. Woo.
If everything, if everything falls theway it could fall. That's a
little Jeffy Scoops right there. Nobodyknew that. I don't think so.
I mean, none of that's true. It's true, it's all true.
(26:29):
I don't know. Again, likethere's so many things to figure out with
seating and everything like that. LikeI know that's one of the reasons I'm
not talking about is you don't wantto jinx it. But if everything fell
right, like if they were towin these two games and some things happened,
they could they could host the game. That means I have to see
Alex in person. Potentially that'd begreat. My gear, I'm afraid I
have to help our jacket today.Look at this actually do that? Yes,
(26:52):
I couldn't find my regular jacket.My wife. I'm positive my sister
in law took it. Positive thattoo. That makes man, you gotta
watch out for the pretty girls.They will steal hoodies. Your favorite shorts
are gone. I accused. Ididn't say which is cus. I said,
that's right off the Canada interview there. I said, I know somebody
(27:14):
took it. I think it's oneof your sisters. She goes, how
could you even say that? Whywould you accuse who was wearing my sweatpants
on Saturday? She goes, allright, that's my fault. I gave
those to her. I'm like,no, they're mine. Oh, you
have those tiny little legs. That'swhy they have the new You have those
tiny little legs. If your legswere like a normal length, they wouldn't
able to wear them. Yeah,that's true. That's your own fault there,
(27:36):
Johnny Bravo, those are my favoriteparrots. SpongeBob. You know what,
We're going to finish the show next. This is Fox Sports ninety five
nine, nine eighty. I'm notsaying here to be insulted. Clavakan guys
on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio. All right, you know, let's
get through that humbler back. Ilike giving like the the pre the hype
up here in these final segments,the first full week of three hours,
(28:00):
I feel like I'm a trainer.Come on, we got it. Three
more reps. Yesterday I stood upfor this like I was like, all
right, let's go, and thenthe microphone kept falling down. I was
like, well that's annoying. I'mnot gonna do that anymore, No thanks,
And like I just realized today too, like I've been doing three hours
every Wednesday. Now I'm doing fourhours every Wednesday because I still have to
(28:22):
do flock You today live from HootersFort Orange if you will. How about
Fort Orange is a great nickname forthat place. Luck in my presidential retreat,
that's where I go. But likeI said, I do have to
get that shirt. Mate. Butlike I've had a lot of people reach
out to me, and there's beentimes that like flock You is just taking
(28:45):
a little while to come together.It's a newer thing. People don't always
know what to expect from it.But this week it was it was literally
like everyone wanted to book flock You. So, like Mike Quarta, my
my boss, and my very goodfriend Dick Richard. This is his middle
(29:07):
name if you didn't know, MichaelRichard Cordaz Yeah yeah, yea, yeah,
yeah yeah. So he was like, I think I got a place
so and I was like, oh, the place he was thinking about was
a great idea, except for uhCentury Hill has uh Prime Rive on Wednesdays.
So they're like, dude, wedon't need you, we don't,
we don't even know if we wantyou. We have a very sophisticated group
(29:29):
becoming to the Prime Rib. AndI'm like, you know what, partner,
uh the housing partner of the Firebirds. Respect that, appreciate you guys
being honest upfront. Please save mesome Prime rip. We might do there
a different night, might do likea special like Thursday or Tuesday flock you
or something. So then the ideawas to go to Rivers. Well,
(29:51):
you and I both know Rivers lovesto do live stuff when it's planned out,
they feel comfortable with it and theyknow what's going on. Now we're
good. So now we're sitting out. Also, it's today and people are
arguing like I got a place,I gotta place, take a place.
I'm like, I know how thissends, Like I know how this sends
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to gofind a place. So I did what
what I always do when I needa place, called Boston Dan. They
(30:17):
said, hey, buddy, howwas the game yesterday? You know,
will fluff them up a little bit, and then can I take half of
your restaurant tonight? And he's like, yeah, I'll see you there.
And we're doing we're moving out,We're moving out in the corner. Well,
there's a reason you guys had tomove out from the court because it
was over overpacked. I guess it'sthe terminal use. We couldn't we couldn't
take the sixties anymore at a littleoffshoot. It's not big enough anymore.
(30:42):
So so that and by the way, all you need wings that the dream
I would expect, And hopefully youprobably already know this. But as we
get closer and closer to kickoff,and as we get in season, these
crowds are gonna get bigger. Theshows are gonna feel different. No one's
welcome. If you haven't been yet, you're not allowed to Flock. You
(31:03):
that's it. You've either been in, either been in, or you're out.
The positive about Flock University flock youhas been You guys have done this
show. You and coach where andmembers of the coaching staff and Capitol to
Reach and sports fans and the voiceof the Capitol Reach. Everybody's been a
part of this so far. Therewill be and you know this, a
time where the Firebirds may lose agame or something may happen in the game
(31:27):
where fans might question it, andthen you have to do the virel cuts
of SEC coaches get yelled at.We haven't had that happen yet for an
episode, but mentally and physically,I think you guys are prepared for there
could be an episode down the lineof oh this has a different vibe than
it did in February in March,which we all know, you guys are
pros don't know that well, andthere'll be ones that are on the road'll
(31:48):
be what Because I also thought itwould be a cool idea if we did
like the war room tonight, becausebecause camp is going and there's thirty five
guys fighting for twenty four spots.But it just it all came together and
of course, you know, anyexcuse to go get a nice cold you
know, draft beer, and allI can eat wings. Okay, I'll
do it, but it's yeah,the the one thing I will. I
(32:12):
don't expect us to lose. Idon't like, I really think this is
a ten and oh regular season team. I just I do. I feel
like the amount of people I gotyelled at today by Nick Haig and Jake
Medlock because they came. They wereat the arena for a meeting and they
hag's like, le mat where youbeen? Where you been? How are
you where you been? I didn'tsee yet practice. I thought we were
(32:34):
boys, and I'm like, Ilooked over my desk, guys, and
it looks like like sixty trapper keepersthrew up. There's paper everywhere. There's
like and I looked over my desk. He goes on the stack. Can
you get a half of my dad? So that made him happy, But
but yeah, no, it's it'sthis team is stacked. So but my
point evolve it is, yeah,sure of course you probably lose a game
(32:58):
or or have at least have abad game. I have no doubt my
mind. That'll be a stand delivermoment for head coach. Dam Aware he's
going to tell you what happened.That's who he is. The former head
coach used to stand up to losses. I thought that was the one thing
that he was He embraced the commentslike he wanted Yeah. I almost felt
like he enjoyed that. Yeah,like he really the show's post Empire loss.
(33:20):
And I'll say coach Tomanos like yeah, the comments and this is sports
in general. The Firebirds, theEmpire no different than this. Like coaches
shows like that, people want toknow what what. Sometimes you'd get out
of the way, which I thinkit was the perfect stategy, like let
coach go, I'll read the comments, you go forty five minutes to an
hour. Sometimes is just responded tofans, which is why you have the
show, truly, Like it's coolto connect with the fan base and connect
(33:40):
with an audience and local businesses,but this is where your voice can be
heard. Like when we picked theMoniker is Fox Sports ninety five to nine,
and I I thought of you,guys. I thought of the fire
Birds because I'm like, this islending a voice and connected with everything else,
meaning tomorrow, if you don't getthis done, tomorrow, sorrow to
(34:00):
flock you on Fox Sports. Idon't know what else. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait a second, hang on, I was supposed
to ask you that question mentally,had prepared myself. The reason we talked
about the fires Coaching Show for sixmonths is I was set myself up to
ask you that question because I believe, as of right now on the schedule,
there might have been a deal doneand it's not happening. Is that
(34:22):
not true? Because I talked tosomebody today and that tomorrow is the day
that we can potentially lock this in. Here's what I understand. Here's what
I didn't understand. I'm gonna say. I think it's a little a little
paralysis by analysis in this building becauseI've been in maybe four meetings, not
as Jefflevak from Levaca Guys weekdays threeto six, but as President Levac of
(34:49):
the Omni Firebirds, and I've literallysaid to everyone, what do you want?
What do you want? You're myhome, you guys like this is
like you know, obviously I haverelationships all over the market, worked with
just about everybody in the media,but this is now my home. So
what do you guys want? Whateveryou want, it's yours. I want
the Coaches Show, it's yours.It's just you just gotta do tell me
how you want it done done,and let's just just put something in place
(35:10):
and let's go tomorrow. Hopefully bythe end of the show, maybe by
Friday, we will announce Flock Universityis coming to Fox Sports. I'm putting
it in the meeting tomorrow. Now, that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
Things happen in the world of radio. No, this is gonna be the
last weeks without it. Grind offlat out told me, He's like,
what do you want? And I'mlike, and I looked at him,
and I just like I exhaled insuch a way that I think when you
(35:31):
when you run a market and thenwhen you're when you're helping run a team,
there's like a level of just there'sa certain sigh you make that is
like it's like a distress call topeople who know what that is. And
he looked at me and he goes, we'll put together a list. You
circle what you want on the list, and then you tell us what you
want back. I'm like, Ilove you, thank you for just doing
(35:52):
it. Like yes, Like I'mlike perfect, So so I'll be in
the meeting, so we'll just getit. We'll get it done. It's
we're gonna get it done. We'regonna get it just just to you know.
I bet it was that easy toget the NFL in Brazil. I
bet it was that easy. Itwas just like, I want to abut
a Brazil. I don't know whatthey do in Brazil, but that's it
shows you how packed two and threehours sports shows get where some people would
look at this story and be like, this is huge, this is innovative,
(36:15):
this is changing the game, thisis everything else. The fact that
the Philadelphia Eagles, a team thatjust two seasons ago represented the NFC in
the Super Bowl, a team inthe Packers that right now they draft well
there are some cash on them potentiallyget to New Orleans in February twenty twenty
five, that this game is maybeANFC title reunits in Brazil. Why is
it happening? Well, we getthe idea that the NFL wants to expand
(36:37):
international game, hit a new audience, making worldwide. The Packers and Eagles
on a Friday in Brazil, obviouslyeveryone's going to be watching. Well,
fact, it seems like all thesegames have been a success when it comes
to fans attending, being in theaudience expaining the brand. But here's the
(36:59):
problem. The people who tell methat are the NFL. The NFL broadcasts,
well you see it though Slovenia fromthe NFL, Like what was that
the game in Mexico City where likeit was it was you see the fans
are behind chain link fences and stuff, but it's clearly packed. Like and
we all know, like anybody who'sbeen in the indust or anybody's been a
fan or been to a if you'vebeen to a house show for WWE,
(37:22):
you know that there's ways to movethe audience around where it looks side side
just there's there's ways to make itlook more full than what it is.
But they it definitely does well.Like that's kind of what I'm wondering,
Like do they give away a bunchof tickets? Is it? Is it
hardcore marketing? Like how do theydo? Is it? Just? Is
the NFL that beast that when itrolls into your town, you're going to
see it no matter what, evenif you don't, you know, it's
(37:45):
you know, your game of footballis soccer, like is it you still
have to go see the NFL?If this was two thousand and eleven,
you and I would probably do thetakes, and maybe we will in September.
But oh, a team's got togo across the world. That's not
fair. What about travel? Whatabout the schedule? House? Everybody does
it. Everybody's got a Thursday game. Now, everybody's got a primetime game.
(38:06):
Everybody is used to flexing on theschedule. International Series is expanded to
five games. Now there's a gamein London, there's games in Germany.
So most I say, everybody.Everybody's prepared for changes on the schedule.
Everybody's prepared for weird, clunky layoffs. This is a part of it.
I have no reason to doubt thatBrazil won't be successful, for whatever way
(38:28):
you view success television ratings, attendedaudience explaining the brand, this is just
what it is. It is goingto be Jerney, Brazil, London,
Mexico City. The NFL will neverstop doing the International Series. I don't
know what could cause them to stopdoing the International Series. I'm looking up
where the Corinthians Arena is from herein my phone, doesn't know. Do
(38:55):
you think, Well, ask thisquestion. I think this one's even more
interesting within the next decade. Sowithin the next ten years, do you
think there will ever be an InternationalSuper Bowl. I hope not me too.
By the way, direction is notavailable, so you can't get that
from here. I get it,I understand it all. But I do
(39:21):
feel like I do. Maybe it'sjust jealousy, like I feel like the
NFL's housewife of the last forty sevenyears. Yeah, I put on some
weight, but I gave you thesechildren. I've been there for you for
everything, and now all of asudden, you're gonna go. You're gonna
go hook up with sexy little braziland all their fans, the little brazil
(39:43):
nuts running around? How dare you? What about me? What about my
needs? What about what I sacrificedfor you? I could have went to
nursing school. I didn't have todo this. But no, you want
to go get the attention of Munichin London and Brazil and one in Vikta.
Oh, one in Victor. Youdon't think I want to hang out
(40:04):
one in Victor. Huh So whatif they did a few sit ups?
Yeah, so what so? Whatif they don't grow hair anywhere but on
their head? So what so?What if they're that charming accent? No?
It is like it just why isthe I want them to have bad
teams on bad weeks. I don'tlike when when Jacksonville it was cute.
(40:25):
When Jacksonville will go to London allthe time, it was cute. It
was like, oh, look,you guys got our B League team.
Oh aren't you cute. Now we'resending like, like I think green basically
way better in Philadelphia this year,but we're sending to like two teams that
a lot of people think are goingto competing in the postseason, right to
Brazil to start the season, justlike here you go. I mean,
(40:45):
it's it's nice to do to GreenBay. I mean it's probably still twenty
degrees in Green Bay at the startof the season. But man, I
don't I don't want to share.I would say that a super Bowl will
never go. But if you hadto pick one of the two things that
in the next ten years that aninternational game would get a super Bowl or
(41:06):
any playoff game in general, Iwould feel much more confident they get a
playoff game, Like in the nextten years. If someone told me that
the AFC playoff game, the titlegame I'm talking the AFC Championship goes to
London and the other one goes toGermany or Brazil or Mexico City. That
could happen like the AFC and NFCtitle games. I believe at some point
(41:28):
go yeah, I'll change my answerof no. Petty Hall, your answer
is this, do you think inthe next ten years a team will play
in Canada or Mexico a regular seasonexpansion team, you know, the Mexico
City Matadors or the the Toronto No. No, Okay, well then no,
(41:49):
because that's the only way it wouldbe is if a state of the
art facility was built in like inToronto or Montreal, and then we and
then then they would get one.The reason I would say no to that
that is because you were taking awaythe novel concept, the novelty concept.
I should say that the reason we'rehaving international the games that comes around once
a year in Brazil, in Mexico, in Mexico City. You get to
(42:14):
the point here, like London hasmore than one, But once you make
it eight or nine rather than one, that novelty wears away and becomes a
chore potentially for the fans. Whyit's an event now these countries rather than
a weekly thing. So you're almostundercutting the own reason why you do it,
So I'd say no to that.But I do believe the AFC and
NFC title games will go to aneutral field at some point because the NFL
(42:35):
is going to jack up the prices. No, because I think we revoll
to that point. Like I'm I'mI'm not. It's not really a joke.
Like I really just don't want toshare regular season games with other countries.
I just don't. I don't feelas though you deserve them. But
the Final four is on a neutralfloor. The college football playoffs on a
newer but they're not another country.No, they're not another country. Let's
just say you can be go neutral. That's fine. I don't mind that.
(42:57):
Hell, the LFAFL is doing neutralfor the post reason, which I
may or may not have an issuewith, considering I think I'll be a
top seed. But like you know, to leave the country now, that's
no, no, no, no, no, that's ours. We keep
it now. And I'm someone whoenjoys watching the games on TV. So
I'll tell you what. This isthe deal. If you want to have
your your silly little regular season startinggame in Brazil, you have to give
(43:22):
away a pair of fifty yard linefront row tickets to some random person named
jeffle Back in the Capitol region.If that happens for the Raiders game,
I'm alright. You singing different too, I'm alright. I can be bought.
I can be bought. I'm notlisten. I'm not going to pretend
I'm high and righteous and high andmighty. It's not who I am.
I just again, those are goodteams, like the Packers are good,
(43:45):
the Eagles. Eagles are a lotof transition. You can debate whether or
not the Eagles are are going tostart well, Like, right now,
top of my head, I'm takingGreen Bay in this game because I feel
like they've got more in place already. And I think, Josh' that's actually
think about that. That's the That'sthe Saquon Barkley Josh Jacobs game. They
(44:06):
were the storyline two years ago ora year ago because of the franchise tag,
and they'll be the storyline this yearbecause they're gonna face off on their
brand new teams in Brazil this year, fifteen days away from the NFL Draft,
we'll see what those backfields look like. Rat because the draft, and
then as soon as the draft's done, I gotta host a game. I
gotta I gotta do that. Youknow, you know, I know what
(44:29):
I about today. Tell you everyonce in a while, it's not the
easiest job in the world. Everyone'sa while, it's the coolest job in
the world. I bought a Tshirt cannon today. Oh no way.
Yeah, I'm curious to see howit arrives, because I'm sure that's like
a projectile type device that the Stateof New York's gonna be like, We're
(44:50):
gonna need to see some proof thatyou are who you say you are.
Okay, next thing, you know, traveling down the road, you're just
rapid fire and T shirts and people. We don't need that in our lives.
I don't know why law enforcement inNew York sounds like that, but
but no, So that's that's whatI got to do today. Back nine,
Brye is gonna need some training onthat's not this tall to use the
(45:14):
to use the T shirt cannon.Bentioninport Raley gets called out of retirement.
I would bring her, well,do you know, IZED love her.
She's tough as nails. I thinkshe she was working with the with the
firewalls for a while. She's She'sjust an amazing trainer, is what she
is. I had somebody else tellme they were a trainer today. I'm
sorry, I'm all over the place. Live with it. I gotta leave.
(45:34):
I gotta go over to Hooters.Can you know it? Rich aren't
even on next now another show isthey've been all over the place. Whatever
they do, they'll do what theytold. And dude told me. He's
like, well, I'm a I'ma I'm a trainer. I'm like,
what like like office training, Likeno, no, no, like I
work at a gym or a trainer. I'm like, I don't want to
be rude, but you're not inmuch better shape than I am. What
do you like? What's like?You just keep them, you just keep
(45:57):
them active. You just like readoff an app like uh huh, like
why are you a trainer? CouldI be a trainer at your gym?
And he's just like I think Ihave said him a little bit, but
it was just like I'm not like, like we can't all just call ourselves
trainers now, you know what Imean? Like we can't like, if
you want diet advice, tell afat person you're thinking about losing weight.
We got we got a million thingsto tell you, but I don't.
(46:20):
But if I want, if youlike, if you were over at ABC
Sports and Fitness today and you're warmingup, and then you know, Eric's
my trainer and I waddle in.No one thinks you're gonna get in better
shape. Like, nobody thinks that'sworking, right. No, I would
have to turn you into like misterOlympia for it to be like for anyone
even And then they line up andthey want to know where I bought my
(46:42):
steroids. But yeah, I thinkeven then it a new potential gym.
There's people that don't look jacked andshredded. Average. Yeah, NT's bottle
is a pretty good shape though.Average Jeffs. Come on over to average
Jeffs. No, I'm gonna startgoing to ABC. I'm getting in shape.
I'm doing it. That trainer stillthere, we will find out he
don't. He don't train there?That comment, No I don't. I
(47:07):
also was trying to get him towork for me full time, so I
was like, why are you overthere? Come here, come help me
out, all right? Uh USXpest control. I don't know if that
trainer or one they call himself USXpest Control has Tim Frank, Brazilian Victor.
I don't know if Victor is actuallyBrazilian or not. I don't know
if he speaks Portuguese, whatever itmight be. They will make sure your
home is safe thanks to USX PastControl. So I was late with the
(47:30):
yeah, yeah, I don't knowif that's how they say it in Brazil.
I became that person because I you, we have been spoiled by USX
Past Control. I have the nonchemical exclusion package cause my house stealed up
tight guys has the platinum package.I have the platinum package. So part
of what they do this time ofyear, this is when they do it.
They they spray your yard and nomosquitoes they're gone, No ticks they're
(47:54):
gone. They they whatever they putout there. And they said that last
year. I'm like, whatever,there's gonna be misqie. There's been mosquitoes
in my yard. I bought thehouse almost twenty years ago or whatever.
It's mosquites our year, no excuse. I saw mosquito two days ago.
I almost called. I was like, what happened here? And then but
then I realized they haven't done mytreatment yet, So how damn is thing.
(48:16):
Look at what happened. That's howgood USX past control is. I
have noticed one mosquito in two years, and I threw a hissy fit.
That's how That's how good USX pastcan go. Go to usxpast dot com,
schedule your free inspection today, andthen you can become just as evil
as I am about mosquitos. Guys, I feel like I've just talked all
(48:37):
over you. No, I well, you've got a lot more talking left
to go. You're off to FlockUniversity on Wolf Road, hopefully the last
one that won't be a part ofthe Fox Sports lineup very soon. A
coach where might be talking a lot. We'll find out. Go you have
to go and case you know Enrich, somebody's in for that memo already gone.
All right, wash your hands,don't touch your face, turn your
record. Vote it's fact first.
It's Levak and Guz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. It's kind of
like a good and bad day forpast rushers of past and present. Heard
about the other Josh Allen. TheJags Josh Allen got pod aren't fetty million
dollars five years, one fitty,that's insane. It's a lot of money,
(00:24):
eighty eight million guaranteed. I reallywas hoping that was a dude who
was gonna go to free agency.I really thought that was And like,
obviously, like the Raiders have passrushers for days, they need tackles,
But you know, as me aRaiders fan, I think about like what
that dude could do there. Iloved the idea of the Bills having two
Josh Allen's. I just thought that'dbe like for me, if you go
(00:45):
to a media day, I wantto talk to Josh Allen, which one
Josh Allen just keeps saying it.Don't answer them. You know, you'd
be fun with the Giants whatever.So good day for that that pass rusher.
Not a great day for a formerall time eight pass rusher. He
Swizzle got arrested. It trell sugs, So this is crazy, all right.
(01:11):
I love caffee right, C four. I love C four coffee.
I'm not one of those people who'slike, don't talk me, jove at
my coffee. But i have dayslike that where I like, I can
catch myself being grumbling. I'm like, if I have a cup of coffee,
I'll pbably mello out a little bit. I've never felt the need to
brandish a firearm at Starbucks, Like, I've just never like I've not.
(01:33):
Maybe I hey, maybe I'm awhimp. Maybe I'm maybe I'm better adjusted
than we realize. You know,there's there could be some good things about
about me. Who knows. Buttwelve twenty eight, in the afternoon on
March tenth, Trell Suggs was inthe drive through at Starbucks and apparently he
drives past the the the order screen, the speaker, the whatever, goes
(02:00):
to back up to get back toit, ends up hitting a car behind
him. Both dudes get out,you know a little bit of like tenseness
ensues. There's no damage, Theyget back in their cars, They do
their order. Everything should be good, right, should be over. Allegedly,
once Suggs finishes his order, hemay have said something derogatory, you
(02:23):
know, maybe maybe you know akitty cat reference to the other driver,
to which the other driver starts swearingback, and then allegedly mister Suggs held
up his handgun, never actually pointingit at the other gentleman, but held
up his handgun, to which theother gentleman said, I believe he was
threatening me with that handgun, forwhich he was eventually pulled over and arrested.
(02:46):
Okay, don't mess with people whenthey don't have their coffee. Okay,
let that be a less than everybody. Knowing that those two are arguing
over cat videos on YouTube is anissue that's really taking over America. As
uh, I used to My yardused to be covered with pussy willows.
They were everywhere. Yeah, youjust couldn't get away from them. Something
(03:06):
like that too. There's a showcalled Super Kittens the kids are into now
that's on disney Port. Like oneaction will result in a consequence. If
we sat down with mister Sizzle misterSuggs and they thought, Okay, I've
got a gun in my car.Did you have the state here? By
the way, I believe it's Arizonabecause they were talking about and being an
(03:28):
Arizona State alumni Okay, so everystate, as we know, I brought
that up because different gun laws registeredwhere all that stuff does play effect or
potentially in this. But what heshowed the people the gune. Okay,
So when he shows the gun,what did he think the next result could
be? Like what would just tobe a tough guy, just to be
the athletes is to show on macho, because there could be a lot of
(03:50):
different results. If he slashed thegun and the other guys had a gun
could have shot him. He said, you right, you know, like
you raised it to me, Ithought I was in There could have been
so how many different things this happenedbecause that action of him doing that result
in him getting arrested. Like it'sgotta be the macho. This is a
class example about this athlete sucks areally good maybe not a Hall of Famer,
(04:12):
but right on that fringe of tryingto adjust to life as a regular
citizen but still trying to be atough guy in life. That's what this
sounds like to me. And alsoif being a six y three probably two
hundred and sixty maybe two hundred andseventy pound former NFL like he's forty one
now, if that's not intimidating enough. Like what is at that point?
(04:35):
Like, like, what do Ineed to do besides being a giant,
angry man who you've seen hit everyoneunder the sun in the NFL for years
and years, Like that should beenough, Like that should be intimidating.
I can't see myself going after Treellsucks. I just I feel like there's
(04:55):
points where you go, you knowwhat, that argument would have diminishing return.
I'm gonna shut up now. Ifthere's damage to my car, I
expect to transfer of insurance information.But that would be it. They said
there's no damage. It should havebeen over, but he kept going,
I get again, Sugs. Iguess escalated. The guy escalates it,
and then the gun goes up andnow here we go. I will there
(05:17):
is a there's an update. Wehave a statement from from Hot Nickels,
T Sizzle, Treil Sugs and thisis clearly not written by Til Sus or
Hot Nickels with as by the way, I want to make sure that was
one of the one of the whenthey do the the introduction on the bottom
screen like money Football. Years andyears ago, he was like I started
(05:39):
looking at Hot Nickels trail, sugshot Nickels, and that was like it
was. That was the end ofit. I'm like, oh, fifty
five, I get it, youknow, Okay, I get it all
right. So this is the thisis the statement that was actually was was
given through his uh eag Sports Rep. Denise White quote. I was in
(06:03):
a quiet area of Scottsdale in themiddle of the day in a Starbucks drive
through near my home when an incidenthappened with a vehicle behind me. I
was getting coffee. I was notlooking for any trouble. When the man
in the other vehicle escalated the situation, I feared for my own safety,
not knowing what his intentions were.Throughout the incident, I was the one
(06:27):
who felt in danger while fearing Iwould be followed home and for the safety
of my family nearby at my residence, and that's why I waved a gun
at him. I thought I hadthe last part. I don't believe you
or anything that was said there inthat statement. Oh my gosh. I
believe at some point he felt likehe may have been in danger, you
know what I mean? But couldhe have been in danger because of his
(06:47):
actions? Did he feel like heneeded to stop that guy from potentially following
him home. Probably would that guyhave followed you home if you hadn't called
him a P word and tell himyou would beat his a. I wonder.
I know these are just questions I'mforced to ask, but I'm caffeinated.
I've had coffee today. You know, I feel like if this is
maybe maybe tomorrow I won't drink coffee. We'll talk about this again and we'll
(07:12):
see how I react. Maybe allof a sudden, I'll be waving a
gun at you and the producer.At least, don't I don't have I
don't. I don't have a carrypermit. I don't do that. You
know it's gon seal. Uh.I'm just stories like this, that whole
set of even the excuse or apologywhatever statement whatever that. Oh, oh,
there's more. I didn't realize itwasn't just the P word. He
(07:35):
threw a little cracker in there too. Oh so it got it got racial?
Oh I thought there was a ritzcracker. Uh. Antonio Brown is
a big fan of Yeah. Itwas by the way, on social media,
what I'm gonna get a clown free? Since late twenty three, shirts
made painting out his favorite rich crackerof the month on social media. I
(07:57):
see. I think it's I don'tknow if it's sponsored yet or not,
but this is it. This ismy takeaway from the Sugs thing. I'm
telling you, And I know thisis a very blanketed statement and I don't
want to put every football player inhere, but it seems like the level
of testosterone, the level of ego, the level of arrogance fits a football
(08:18):
player more in this story than anyother sport. The only other one would
probably be fighter and an actual fighterboxer NMA fighter, because this seems all
about ego. Of like, lookhow strong I am? How could you
do that? I didn't make amistake? Do you want to fight about
it? That the switch that aguy likes Suggs seemed to have always turned
on, even collegen professional ranks.Of like, when you don't have that
(08:39):
outlet anymore, let's yell at aguy at a Starbucks at a few minutes
past noon on a regular day.It does it feels a little compensating,
you know what I mean? Likelike you, the other one, I
would say, I think you're right, Like the former NFL athlete, the
former fighter, the former you know, macho action star, Like like I
(09:00):
see steven Sagall doing something stupid,maybe not the gun, just maybe just
waddling over and tossing somebody breaking theirarm or something, you know, just
something crazy. But like this,this just it just seems it's so ridiculous.
You're just going to get a cupof coffee next thing, you know,
you're gonna be You could go tojail because you shouldn't let it go.
You backed into him too, Likehonestly it could have been resting.
(09:24):
It sounded like it was over,and then you kept it going. But
trying to think who, like nowyou've said, like I see you have
another ablem. Trying to think ofother stories recently, Like there's that story
about Sylvester Stallone on the set ofTulsa King where the casting crew is left
because allegedly he was mean to everyoneand calling people fat asses and stuff like
(09:46):
that. But I mean it,guys, is that true? That's what
that's the allegation anymore? I'm okaywith it that it's Sylvester Stallone. The
guy's one hundred and five year yearsold, and he looks better than any
of us. Ever, he cancall me a fat ass. He's allowed.
(10:07):
Was he in character? Was hedoing like method acting and that's why
people got mad with just being ajerk. It sounds like it was one
of those situations where it was likehe was trying to get a certain thing
set up on set and it wasn'tworking out, and he was like listening
to you tubble guts you know orwhatever. Like it sounds. It's what
it sounds, but it's also anallegation. But like these are like if
I was in am I shocked thatTrel Sucks was in a physical altercation.
(10:31):
No, I'm not, am Ishocked that there was a gun involved.
Not really, He's had that reputationof being trying to be a gangster,
a tough guy, and then stalloanlike I've never seen him act that way.
But if you a guy who worksout that much is going to comment
on other people who don't work outat all, he's gonna do it.
I don't know how this has happenedtoday, but twice today both our guy
(10:52):
Jakin Seals and our guy Tristan who'sa part of our news department here on
our sister station WQY, somehow bothtold stories of their time in college with
me today, like whatever happened sparkedthese stories came up today. But at
the end of both conversations we hadwe all three of us agreed we had
cameras in college, but I'm gladit wasn't going on Snapchat or Twitter or
(11:15):
fake like everything you did was alwayson there. This is gonna be a
weird connection. But pro wrestling fans, we gave you some love this week.
One of the big stories in prowrestling tonight is that on a e
w All Elite Wrestling, they're gonnarelease the tape of the fight between the
late Luke Perry son Jack Perry andCM Punk. Now, this is not
a storyline. They got in areal fight, a real basically, yes,
(11:43):
and Punk gave an interview to theMMA Hour with Aril Halwani and told
the story and they're like, no, no, no, that didn't happen,
and we've got the footage and we'regonna show you tonight. So this
situation with Sugs, Like Suggs hasa version of his story, these guys
have a version of their story.I'm sure there's a camera right Starbucks drive
through. There's gotta be a camerathere, and they got to actually see
the car. So there's got tobe like, now these he said,
(12:07):
she said, he said, hesaid. Stories all get squashed sooner rather
than later, because it's like,well, let's go to the videotape,
shall we. Let's see how thisplayed out. And athletes in particular,
unfortunately, and celebrities, but athletesto get caught in the whoa, I
busted out the cell phone. Iknew you were going to get baited into
this. I can spin this howeverI wants so. Uh, Terrell Suggs,
(12:28):
if you are telling the truth,I think a camera will eventually set
you free of what really happened.I see I. I definitely agree with
you. There's probably a camera.There's folage somewhere. But they pulled him
over almost a full month after theincident. I feel like the investigation has
been done and they already are prettyclear they saw the footage. Yeah yeah,
and it's like, all right,here's your here's your night in court.
(12:50):
Because he went and had a hearingit and he doesn't dispute any of
it. He doesn't in that statement. It doesn't say I didn't wave a
gun, the gub was never pointedat him. Stuff like that's him out
there. But I I was,I was afraid. I was. I
feared for my safety. It's raisedgonna follow me home to my family,
which are smart things to say inthis situation because then you seem almost justified
(13:13):
for it. But it doesn't.It's he doesn't. He's never been like
a nice guy, you know whatI mean. He's never been and I
don't know. He might have friendswho feel it completely the opposite, but
I've never seen him do an interviewor anything where I went, that's a
guy I want to I want towatch football with I. I've seen every
(13:35):
interview, I've seen every game whereI go. That's a guy I want
to watch play football for as longas he possibly can. You know,
but this, this is not thisthis this is one of those ones where
I Goterrrelle sucks in an incident.No, like I just I don't like
I okay, you know that thathappened. But just the the joke for
me is, man, that dudeneeded some caffeine at twelve twenty eight in
(13:56):
the afternoon, Like I maybe ifhe had had a coffee firms like maybe,
Like I don't know, b Arthurpopped into the other seat. It's
like, here's a Snickers in ain a vente latte. Maybe this whole
thing never happens, the swizzle.You're not yourself when you're this hungry.
But it was just b Arthur inthe commercial. I thought it was the
late Betty White. Are you gettingyour old Golden Girl? People mixed up?
(14:20):
I mean sure, I mean okay? Was it Bob Wolf later in
his career, Arthur, he's listening. You know what we can't recover when
we break back. This is FoxSports ninety five. Daddy. But before
we go back, tells me ourfriends over at Mohawks Chevrolet. I thought
(14:41):
you never asked. I love MohawksChevy. Together, Let's drive a Mohawks
Chevrolet Exit twelve off of the NorthWay. Amazing facility. This is when
you know that you have a greatfacility. Mohawk Chevrolet is so beautiful that
it's it's cousin dealership. MOHAWKNDA hadto get redone like. That's how good
Mohawks Chevy is. And the selectionand the people and the knowledge. I
(15:03):
just I have yet to go inthere and not see a room full of
smiling faces. Not just you know, Travis Horne the GM Katie Duncan,
the assistant GM Andy Gelcher, allthe you know, all the all the
wonderful reps there to help you.But the people buying their vehicles are always
in a great mood too. Theysold one of those souped up Camaros,
so like, if you wanted oneof those, better hurry out. I
think there's only one left. Butwhatever is looking for Camaros, Silverado Tracks
(15:28):
the perfect vehicle for you, You'regonna find it. And with the financing
department, with so much experience andso many connections, you're gonna get the
perfect deal for yourself. Together,let's drive at Mohawk Chevrolet, where they
always go out of their way toplease you. It's Lavak and Guz on
ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.Man, as you know, we we
(15:50):
talk a lot about the upcoming fireBird season. The fire Wolves season has
been a stir wrong one and eventhough the regular season is close to the
endefully we are nowhere near the endof Firewalls actually are joined by forward number
six in your programs, Alex Simmons, Alex Man, I just I can't
tell you enough how much the Capitalregion appreciates just how well you guys are
(16:12):
playing this season. Yeah, it'sbeen great, although we're on a bit
of a skid right now. It'sbeen great to get to support. We've
got an MVP arena and all oversocial media, and it's nice to kind
of have that support on our back, and it's definitely a fueled us at
the end of the year here.It's been cool seeing the hype, especially
the most recent game, although itdidn't go in favor of what you guys
(16:33):
I hope the attack. Like seeingsome old school fans come out and the
appreciation and the uniforms. You guysmust have felt that that this nostalgia really
sparked a whole different fan base overin the most recent game. Definitely,
it was really cool for us toput on that jersey. It was really
cool to kind of, you know, read and listen about all the history
that the attack had, although itwas only there for a few years.
(16:56):
It was nice having Derek Gibson therelate for the attack as our head coach,
and you know, that's the kindof cool stuff, right It's kind
of it's nice to make the gamea little bit interactive with the fans and
and kind of have them come outto the stadium and watch us play in
that kind of in that kind ofera. It was really cool and the
music was awesome, you know,putting back into the retro into the nineties,
(17:18):
eighties and seventies. So that waskind of cool, and I think
it sparked a little excitement for theteam. Was uh, was coach clark
a little twitchy? I mean,that was like a big rival of his
back of the day. I think, you know what, It's funny Clarky
wasn't too bad about it. Heyou know, he's a businessman at heart,
and I think that he was justready to get a win even though
we didn't get it. He preparedus really well. But you know,
(17:41):
Gibby couldn't stop wearing his jersey andlooking at it back at the old times.
And I think we just need himto close the yearbook a little bit.
You know, he joined us theweek before. He was so excited
to talk about the attack. Hehad all these stories. I'm glad there
was some healthier ribbing going on.See, this is the difference between college
and professionals. You got pros likealex On they love the coach. Now,
coach, that's a little too muchOkay, you absolutely, I love
(18:06):
it man. Now that we getcloser and close to that playoff push,
Lavak was talking about still some regularseason games. How if it all is
the locker room changed and your guys'mindset changes, you know, these games
will decide and determine the seating andthe matchups that are coming up. Yeah,
it's an interesting time, I thinkright now in our locker room.
Right now, we're just keeping itone game at a time. We're not
(18:27):
really looking about seating or anything likethat. We just got to get this
next one. Uh. You know, the seating is obviously important, and
you know, we'd love to getin front of the Albany fans. I
think that's really important to us,But we can't really look ahead. We
have a really great at Pollent comingup in Fort Worth is kind of battling
right now to kind of get itin their playoff spot. So we're getting
(18:48):
everybody's best game right now. Soif we can kind of use that and
kind of get into our playoff pushand get you know, hot at the
right time, I think that's thisis a great opportunity for us. But
it's definitely I didn't kind of gettingtoward that time, and it's kind of
nice having, you know, thatseason that they had last year. It's
kind of really nice to you know, be in the situation now we're in
with such a heart starve that wehad earlier in the year. So it's
(19:11):
gonna be great. Alex Simmons ofthe Firewalls right now with us on Fox
Sports Radio ninety five nine eight.So, like, not everybody knows logistically
what you guys fight through just justto play each week. A lot of
you guys are on the road prettymuch non stop traveling. Does that wear
on you to this point? Likeis it or is it one of those
things where you can kind of wrapyour brain around no matter where these playoff
(19:33):
games end up being, I travelall the time anyway, so let's go
get them. Definitely earlier in theyear, it was definitely an adjustment you
never really I've never other than playingin college. You know, you don't
leave every weekend, but you knowyou have your team with you the entire
time, whereas now you kind ofhave a full time job throughout the week
nine to five and then head outon Fridays. I Mean sometimes it definitely
(19:55):
takes a tearidy a little bit,but you know, this is what we
signed up for. This is whatwe did all of our lives, you
know, kind of waiting to do. So it doesn't hurt that bad.
When you get to go play infront of thousands stands playing and game you
love, it doesn't really hurt thatmuch. But you know, right now,
obviously you feel the fatigue throughout thewhole season, and the planes can
get a bit a bit much.But you know, kind of like what
(20:19):
we were alluding to earlier, theplayoffs are coming up, so these these
flights and these these schedules are aren'ttoo bad right now. It's a pretty
exciting time, Alex. I gottaknow what the other job is. I
just imagine you, like as aninvestment bank or just checking people into the
glass whenever you need to. No, I'm actually the complete opposite of all
those because I'm Canadian. I haveto work in the lacrosse industry and I
(20:44):
actually direct a club program out herein Chicago, Illinois, all throughout the
week and all the months. Soit's it's I always have the stick in
my hand, which helps. Butno, I'm not one of those desk
jockeys like all the guys in ourteam. I love it now. I
just imagined like he's showing his playersall like, look, you're gonna blow
by this defender, like he playedfor Hobart, Like my all, my
mind. Look he's a Syracuse guy. Last time we spoke, he was
(21:07):
ripping my water. Here we go. I don't want to talk about the
Statesman or wherever you guys get calledthis. This radio show doesn't deserve that
boring of the story. I'm tellingyou. Thank you, Alec. I
appreciate it. He told me hewould tell me stories like they would throw
fishes at you guys and stuff whenyou would bust into the to their arenas.
Yeah, there was there's a couple. Yeah. And eggs too.
(21:29):
Eggs. He was a big one. They used to throw at us,
you know, which is pretty ironic. I mean, typically you don't throw
eggs at a bus that just camein and beat you by twenty goals.
What what I'm just gonna say,that's what happens when you go to an
all boys school. No, no, what I imagine. Here's what I
imagined my head, like it wasBobby Bouchet, like the water boy,
right, Like he'd use this fuelto have a fantastic season, Alex,
(21:53):
I guess that's not the case.You never thought about Hobart the inspiration Levac
and more particular, guys, thestate's been gay for you all season.
Uh No, I never you knowwhat, anytime Hobart's mentioned, I just
can't believe that there's a a championshipor a cop that even has to be
like played between us trop because it'sso lopsided now that it's just getting it's
(22:21):
getting old. The trophy doesn't eventhe trophy is killing us. I heard,
I heard they were going to remakethe trophy Alex, and it was
going to be a big hammer withan S on it and then a nail
with a little H on it.That's not true. That. Yeah,
well the nails pretty fitting considering they'vebeen in a coffin in Netflix, in
that in that in this tournament theentire time, I kind of want,
(22:44):
like, I just want to Iwant to take a sick day and I
want Alex to fill in for mefor the whole day and just to have
him abuse you. No, No, it's very busy. He's got many
things going on. I was alwaystold boys, I was I was meant
for the radio I think I coulddo it. See, we were meant
for the radio because the way welook, you just have a ghost as
a humor. You know what goodluck this weekend were. Although you give
me some healthy ribbon, we appreciateyour time today and we hope you do
(23:07):
well this season. Who knowlse Levacwill take you up on that offer for
real after this whole season wraps up, you might be making a co hosting
deput here on Lovakia guys at somepoint without I love that, boys.
I appreciate you having me on andman again, Alex, So you have
number six. Number six on theon the firebers is Darius Prince. We'd
love to get you guys together fora quick photo shooting a and a and
a game of catch. I'd loveto see him try to work a lacross
(23:30):
stick I think to be you know, it wouldn't be far off from what
the skill level is. From Syracuseto Hobart, Goodbye, good luck to
sweekends. All right, but it'sgone now. Oh man, he's that
count as a goal going into thenext game, like the disdain that he
(23:56):
has for the the Hobart Statesman,my alma mater, Yeah, oh my
God, that's that's hysterical. Ilove it. That's my favorite thing right
now because again, like I jokeabout it, but I don't what do
I really know about Hobart. Iknow two people who came from Hobart on
a like better than average level.I know you, and I know Matt
(24:18):
Wood's over at Belle four, whois a special consultant to the Firebirds.
Obviously a lot of respect for Matt. And then there's you. But man,
he just came for you with bothbarrels. That was awesome. He's
such a good player. He's hadsuch an impact. He is one of
the reasons I've been so happy.I know that sounds odd after that conversation,
(24:40):
but getting to know these Firewolf playersand coaches and the personalities and watching
them on social even if you're notthe biggest lacrosse fan, these guys make
it so easy to find out whothey are in root for them. And
I'm sure people who aren't Hobart alumnilike me enjoyed that roasting of me in
my own matter. And for real, like the back, you've done this
long enough, he could probably dothis. He could probably come on and
(25:03):
grab a microphone and talk sports andmake it entertaining and engaging to have fun
with it. So who knows.I think we're being serious. He I
don't know what a schedule is.It's gonna be busy the next few months.
If somebody doesn't ask him to docolor commentary for lacrosse, they're making
a mistake. Like obviously he's gota lot of gears on the turf,
on the on the grass left beforeyou know that that be a thing.
But if if he was cracking thosekind of jokes about people and just you
(25:26):
know, talking the way he talks, he'd be he'd be all over.
It'd be great. Maybe I wonderwhy he's doing this football season. I
wonder if it's not fair. No, no, maybe we get some Syracuse
talent for this piece. That wouldbe very busy. Next level, what's
your boy? Which boy? Andrewgo? And you're saying, tell he
went to Ithaca, Ehica and Syracuse. They'll start a broadcasting. That's pretty
(25:47):
good. That's pretty that's not badat all? Right there alb fire rolls
across social media. If you enjoyedthat interview, you want to share,
you want to give some comments andsome love to Alex. Also albody,
firewalls online, grab yourself some appareland all that good stuff. Keep your
eyes up into for the watch partiesfor the last two regular season games.
Uh and then hopefully, hopefully there'sa chance they're here on the April twenty
(26:07):
eighth, so you could have aweekend where it's Firebirds on Saturday twenty seventh,
and then it's FireWolves playoff game onthe on the twenty eighth. Woo.
If everything, if everything falls theway it could fall. That's a
little Jeffy Scoops right there. Nobodyknew that. I don't think so.
I mean, none of that's true. It's true, it's all true.
(26:29):
I don't know. Again, likethere's so many things to figure out with
seating and everything like that. LikeI know that's one of the reasons I'm
not talking about is you don't wantto jinx it. But if everything fell
right, like if they were towin these two games and some things happened,
they could they could host the game. That means I have to see
Alex in person. Potentially that'd begreat. My gear, I'm afraid I
have to help our jacket today.Look at this actually do that? Yes,
(26:52):
I couldn't find my regular jacket.My wife. I'm positive my sister
in law took it. Positive thattoo. That makes man, you gotta
watch out for the pretty girls.They will steal hoodies. Your favorite shorts
are gone. I accused. Ididn't say which is cus. I said,
that's right off the Canada interview there. I said, I know somebody
(27:14):
took it. I think it's oneof your sisters. She goes, how
could you even say that? Whywould you accuse who was wearing my sweatpants
on Saturday? She goes, allright, that's my fault. I gave
those to her. I'm like,no, they're mine. Oh, you
have those tiny little legs. That'swhy they have the new You have those
tiny little legs. If your legswere like a normal length, they wouldn't
able to wear them. Yeah,that's true. That's your own fault there,
(27:36):
Johnny Bravo, those are my favoriteparrots. SpongeBob. You know what,
We're going to finish the show next. This is Fox Sports ninety five
nine, nine eighty. I'm notsaying here to be insulted. Clavakan guys
on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio. All right, you know, let's
get through that humbler back. Ilike giving like the the pre the hype
up here in these final segments,the first full week of three hours,
(28:00):
I feel like I'm a trainer.Come on, we got it. Three
more reps. Yesterday I stood upfor this like I was like, all
right, let's go, and thenthe microphone kept falling down. I was
like, well that's annoying. I'mnot gonna do that anymore, No thanks,
And like I just realized today too, like I've been doing three hours
every Wednesday. Now I'm doing fourhours every Wednesday because I still have to
(28:22):
do flock You today live from HootersFort Orange if you will. How about
Fort Orange is a great nickname forthat place. Luck in my presidential retreat,
that's where I go. But likeI said, I do have to
get that shirt. Mate. Butlike I've had a lot of people reach
out to me, and there's beentimes that like flock You is just taking
(28:45):
a little while to come together.It's a newer thing. People don't always
know what to expect from it.But this week it was it was literally
like everyone wanted to book flock You. So, like Mike Quarta, my
my boss, and my very goodfriend Dick Richard. This is his middle
(29:07):
name if you didn't know, MichaelRichard Cordaz Yeah yeah, yea, yeah,
yeah yeah. So he was like, I think I got a place

a great idea, except for uhCentury Hill has uh Prime Rive on Wednesdays.
So they're like, dude, wedon't need you, we don't,
we don't even know if we wantyou. We have a very sophisticated group
(29:29):
becoming to the Prime Rib. AndI'm like, you know what, partner,
uh the housing partner of the Firebirds. Respect that, appreciate you guys
being honest upfront. Please save mesome Prime rip. We might do there
a different night, might do likea special like Thursday or Tuesday flock you
or something. So then the ideawas to go to Rivers. Well,
(29:51):
you and I both know Rivers lovesto do live stuff when it's planned out,
they feel comfortable with it and theyknow what's going on. Now we're
good. So now we're sitting out. Also, it's today and people are
arguing like I got a place,I gotta place, take a place.
I'm like, I know how thissends, Like I know how this sends
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to gofind a place. So I did what
what I always do when I needa place, called Boston Dan. They
(30:17):
said, hey, buddy, howwas the game yesterday? You know,
will fluff them up a little bit, and then can I take half of
your restaurant tonight? And he's like, yeah, I'll see you there.
And we're doing we're moving out,We're moving out in the corner. Well,
there's a reason you guys had tomove out from the court because it
was over overpacked. I guess it'sthe terminal use. We couldn't we couldn't
take the sixties anymore at a littleoffshoot. It's not big enough anymore.
(30:42):
So so that and by the way, all you need wings that the dream
I would expect, And hopefully youprobably already know this. But as we
get closer and closer to kickoff,and as we get in season, these
crowds are gonna get bigger. Theshows are gonna feel different. No one's
welcome. If you haven't been yet, you're not allowed to Flock. You
(31:03):
that's it. You've either been in, either been in, or you're out.
The positive about Flock University flock youhas been You guys have done this
show. You and coach where andmembers of the coaching staff and Capitol to
Reach and sports fans and the voiceof the Capitol Reach. Everybody's been a
part of this so far. Therewill be and you know this, a
time where the Firebirds may lose agame or something may happen in the game
(31:27):
where fans might question it, andthen you have to do the virel cuts
of SEC coaches get yelled at.We haven't had that happen yet for an
episode, but mentally and physically,I think you guys are prepared for there
could be an episode down the lineof oh this has a different vibe than
it did in February in March,which we all know, you guys are
pros don't know that well, andthere'll be ones that are on the road'll
(31:48):
be what Because I also thought itwould be a cool idea if we did
like the war room tonight, becausebecause camp is going and there's thirty five
guys fighting for twenty four spots.But it just it all came together and
of course, you know, anyexcuse to go get a nice cold you
know, draft beer, and allI can eat wings. Okay, I'll
do it, but it's yeah,the the one thing I will. I
(32:12):
don't expect us to lose. Idon't like, I really think this is
a ten and oh regular season team. I just I do. I feel
like the amount of people I gotyelled at today by Nick Haig and Jake
Medlock because they came. They wereat the arena for a meeting and they
hag's like, le mat where youbeen? Where you been? How are
you where you been? I didn'tsee yet practice. I thought we were
(32:34):
boys, and I'm like, Ilooked over my desk, guys, and
it looks like like sixty trapper keepersthrew up. There's paper everywhere. There's
like and I looked over my desk. He goes on the stack. Can
you get a half of my dad? So that made him happy, But
but yeah, no, it's it'sthis team is stacked. So but my
point evolve it is, yeah,sure of course you probably lose a game
(32:58):
or or have at least have abad game. I have no doubt my
mind. That'll be a stand delivermoment for head coach. Dam Aware he's
going to tell you what happened.That's who he is. The former head
coach used to stand up to losses. I thought that was the one thing
that he was He embraced the commentslike he wanted Yeah. I almost felt
like he enjoyed that. Yeah,like he really the show's post Empire loss.
(33:20):
And I'll say coach Tomanos like yeah, the comments and this is sports
in general. The Firebirds, theEmpire no different than this. Like coaches
shows like that, people want toknow what what. Sometimes you'd get out
of the way, which I thinkit was the perfect stategy, like let
coach go, I'll read the comments, you go forty five minutes to an
hour. Sometimes is just responded tofans, which is why you have the
show, truly, Like it's coolto connect with the fan base and connect
(33:40):
with an audience and local businesses,but this is where your voice can be
heard. Like when we picked theMoniker is Fox Sports ninety five to nine,
and I I thought of you,guys. I thought of the fire
Birds because I'm like, this islending a voice and connected with everything else,
meaning tomorrow, if you don't getthis done, tomorrow, sorrow to
(34:00):
flock you on Fox Sports. Idon't know what else. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait a second, hang on, I was supposed
to ask you that question mentally,had prepared myself. The reason we talked
about the fires Coaching Show for sixmonths is I was set myself up to
ask you that question because I believe, as of right now on the schedule,
there might have been a deal doneand it's not happening. Is that
(34:22):
not true? Because I talked tosomebody today and that tomorrow is the day
that we can potentially lock this in. Here's what I understand. Here's what
I didn't understand. I'm gonna say. I think it's a little a little
paralysis by analysis in this building becauseI've been in maybe four meetings, not
as Jefflevak from Levaca Guys weekdays threeto six, but as President Levac of
(34:49):
the Omni Firebirds, and I've literallysaid to everyone, what do you want?
What do you want? You're myhome, you guys like this is
like you know, obviously I haverelationships all over the market, worked with
just about everybody in the media,but this is now my home. So
what do you guys want? Whateveryou want, it's yours. I want
the Coaches Show, it's yours.It's just you just gotta do tell me
how you want it done done,and let's just just put something in place
(35:10):
and let's go tomorrow. Hopefully bythe end of the show, maybe by
Friday, we will announce Flock Universityis coming to Fox Sports. I'm putting
it in the meeting tomorrow. Now, that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
Things happen in the world of radio. No, this is gonna be the
last weeks without it. Grind offlat out told me, He's like,
what do you want? And I'mlike, and I looked at him,
and I just like I exhaled insuch a way that I think when you
(35:31):
when you run a market and thenwhen you're when you're helping run a team,
there's like a level of just there'sa certain sigh you make that is
like it's like a distress call topeople who know what that is. And
he looked at me and he goes, we'll put together a list. You
circle what you want on the list, and then you tell us what you
want back. I'm like, Ilove you, thank you for just doing
(35:52):
it. Like yes, Like I'mlike perfect, So so I'll be in
the meeting, so we'll just getit. We'll get it done. It's
we're gonna get it done. We'regonna get it just just to you know.
I bet it was that easy toget the NFL in Brazil. I
bet it was that easy. Itwas just like, I want to abut
a Brazil. I don't know whatthey do in Brazil, but that's it
shows you how packed two and threehours sports shows get where some people would
look at this story and be like, this is huge, this is innovative,
(36:15):
this is changing the game, thisis everything else. The fact that
the Philadelphia Eagles, a team thatjust two seasons ago represented the NFC in
the Super Bowl, a team inthe Packers that right now they draft well
there are some cash on them potentiallyget to New Orleans in February twenty twenty
five, that this game is maybeANFC title reunits in Brazil. Why is
it happening? Well, we getthe idea that the NFL wants to expand
(36:37):
international game, hit a new audience, making worldwide. The Packers and Eagles
on a Friday in Brazil, obviouslyeveryone's going to be watching. Well,
fact, it seems like all thesegames have been a success when it comes
to fans attending, being in theaudience expaining the brand. But here's the
(36:59):
problem. The people who tell methat are the NFL. The NFL broadcasts,
well you see it though Slovenia fromthe NFL, Like what was that
the game in Mexico City where likeit was it was you see the fans
are behind chain link fences and stuff, but it's clearly packed. Like and
we all know, like anybody who'sbeen in the indust or anybody's been a
fan or been to a if you'vebeen to a house show for WWE,
(37:22):
you know that there's ways to movethe audience around where it looks side side
just there's there's ways to make itlook more full than what it is.
But they it definitely does well.Like that's kind of what I'm wondering,
Like do they give away a bunchof tickets? Is it? Is it
hardcore marketing? Like how do theydo? Is it? Just? Is
the NFL that beast that when itrolls into your town, you're going to
see it no matter what, evenif you don't, you know, it's
(37:45):
you know, your game of footballis soccer, like is it you still
have to go see the NFL?If this was two thousand and eleven,
you and I would probably do thetakes, and maybe we will in September.
But oh, a team's got togo across the world. That's not
fair. What about travel? Whatabout the schedule? House? Everybody does
it. Everybody's got a Thursday game. Now, everybody's got a primetime game.
(38:06):
Everybody is used to flexing on theschedule. International Series is expanded to
five games. Now there's a gamein London, there's games in Germany.
So most I say, everybody.Everybody's prepared for changes on the schedule.
Everybody's prepared for weird, clunky layoffs. This is a part of it.
I have no reason to doubt thatBrazil won't be successful, for whatever way
(38:28):
you view success television ratings, attendedaudience explaining the brand, this is just
what it is. It is goingto be Jerney, Brazil, London,
Mexico City. The NFL will neverstop doing the International Series. I don't
know what could cause them to stopdoing the International Series. I'm looking up
where the Corinthians Arena is from herein my phone, doesn't know. Do
(38:55):
you think, Well, ask thisquestion. I think this one's even more
interesting within the next decade. Sowithin the next ten years, do you
think there will ever be an InternationalSuper Bowl. I hope not me too.
By the way, direction is notavailable, so you can't get that
from here. I get it,I understand it all. But I do
(39:21):
feel like I do. Maybe it'sjust jealousy, like I feel like the
NFL's housewife of the last forty sevenyears. Yeah, I put on some
weight, but I gave you thesechildren. I've been there for you for
everything, and now all of asudden, you're gonna go. You're gonna
go hook up with sexy little braziland all their fans, the little brazil
(39:43):
nuts running around? How dare you? What about me? What about my
needs? What about what I sacrificedfor you? I could have went to
nursing school. I didn't have todo this. But no, you want
to go get the attention of Munichin London and Brazil and one in Vikta.
Oh, one in Victor. Youdon't think I want to hang out
(40:04):
one in Victor. Huh So whatif they did a few sit ups?
Yeah, so what so? Whatif they don't grow hair anywhere but on
their head? So what so?What if they're that charming accent? No?
It is like it just why isthe I want them to have bad
teams on bad weeks. I don'tlike when when Jacksonville it was cute.
(40:25):
When Jacksonville will go to London allthe time, it was cute. It
was like, oh, look,you guys got our B League team.
Oh aren't you cute. Now we'resending like, like I think green basically
way better in Philadelphia this year,but we're sending to like two teams that
a lot of people think are goingto competing in the postseason, right to
Brazil to start the season, justlike here you go. I mean,
(40:45):
it's it's nice to do to GreenBay. I mean it's probably still twenty
degrees in Green Bay at the startof the season. But man, I
don't I don't want to share.I would say that a super Bowl will
never go. But if you hadto pick one of the two things that
in the next ten years that aninternational game would get a super Bowl or
(41:06):
any playoff game in general, Iwould feel much more confident they get a
playoff game, Like in the nextten years. If someone told me that
the AFC playoff game, the titlegame I'm talking the AFC Championship goes to
London and the other one goes toGermany or Brazil or Mexico City. That
could happen like the AFC and NFCtitle games. I believe at some point
(41:28):
go yeah, I'll change my answerof no. Petty Hall, your answer
is this, do you think inthe next ten years a team will play
in Canada or Mexico a regular seasonexpansion team, you know, the Mexico
City Matadors or the the Toronto No. No, Okay, well then no,
(41:49):
because that's the only way it wouldbe is if a state of the
art facility was built in like inToronto or Montreal, and then we and
then then they would get one.The reason I would say no to that
that is because you were taking awaythe novel concept, the novelty concept.
I should say that the reason we'rehaving international the games that comes around once
a year in Brazil, in Mexico, in Mexico City. You get to
(42:14):
the point here, like London hasmore than one, But once you make
it eight or nine rather than one, that novelty wears away and becomes a
chore potentially for the fans. Whyit's an event now these countries rather than
a weekly thing. So you're almostundercutting the own reason why you do it,
So I'd say no to that.But I do believe the AFC and
NFC title games will go to aneutral field at some point because the NFL
(42:35):
is going to jack up the prices. No, because I think we revoll
to that point. Like I'm I'mI'm not. It's not really a joke.
Like I really just don't want toshare regular season games with other countries.
I just don't. I don't feelas though you deserve them. But
the Final four is on a neutralfloor. The college football playoffs on a
newer but they're not another country.No, they're not another country. Let's
just say you can be go neutral. That's fine. I don't mind that.
(42:57):
Hell, the LFAFL is doing neutralfor the post reason, which I
may or may not have an issuewith, considering I think I'll be a
top seed. But like you know, to leave the country now, that's
no, no, no, no, no, that's ours. We keep
it now. And I'm someone whoenjoys watching the games on TV. So
I'll tell you what. This isthe deal. If you want to have
your your silly little regular season startinggame in Brazil, you have to give
(43:22):
away a pair of fifty yard linefront row tickets to some random person named
jeffle Back in the Capitol region.If that happens for the Raiders game,
I'm alright. You singing different too, I'm alright. I can be bought.
I can be bought. I'm notlisten. I'm not going to pretend
I'm high and righteous and high andmighty. It's not who I am.
I just again, those are goodteams, like the Packers are good,
(43:45):
the Eagles. Eagles are a lotof transition. You can debate whether or
not the Eagles are are going tostart well, Like, right now,
top of my head, I'm takingGreen Bay in this game because I feel
like they've got more in place already. And I think, Josh' that's actually
think about that. That's the That'sthe Saquon Barkley Josh Jacobs game. They
(44:06):
were the storyline two years ago ora year ago because of the franchise tag,
and they'll be the storyline this yearbecause they're gonna face off on their
brand new teams in Brazil this year, fifteen days away from the NFL Draft,
we'll see what those backfields look like. Rat because the draft, and
then as soon as the draft's done, I gotta host a game. I
gotta I gotta do that. Youknow, you know, I know what
(44:29):
I about today. Tell you everyonce in a while, it's not the
easiest job in the world. Everyone'sa while, it's the coolest job in
the world. I bought a Tshirt cannon today. Oh no way.
Yeah, I'm curious to see howit arrives, because I'm sure that's like
a projectile type device that the Stateof New York's gonna be like, We're
(44:50):
gonna need to see some proof thatyou are who you say you are.
Okay, next thing, you know, traveling down the road, you're just
rapid fire and T shirts and people. We don't need that in our lives.
I don't know why law enforcement inNew York sounds like that, but
but no, So that's that's whatI got to do today. Back nine,
Brye is gonna need some training onthat's not this tall to use the
(45:14):
to use the T shirt cannon.Bentioninport Raley gets called out of retirement.
I would bring her, well,do you know, IZED love her.
She's tough as nails. I thinkshe she was working with the with the
firewalls for a while. She's She'sjust an amazing trainer, is what she
is. I had somebody else tellme they were a trainer today. I'm
sorry, I'm all over the place. Live with it. I gotta leave.
(45:34):
I gotta go over to Hooters.Can you know it? Rich aren't

they do, they'll do what theytold. And dude told me. He's
like, well, I'm a I'ma I'm a trainer. I'm like,
what like like office training, Likeno, no, no, like I
work at a gym or a trainer. I'm like, I don't want to
be rude, but you're not inmuch better shape than I am. What
do you like? What's like?You just keep them, you just keep
(45:57):
them active. You just like readoff an app like uh huh, like
why are you a trainer? CouldI be a trainer at your gym?
And he's just like I think Ihave said him a little bit, but
it was just like I'm not like, like we can't all just call ourselves
trainers now, you know what Imean? Like we can't like, if
you want diet advice, tell afat person you're thinking about losing weight.
We got we got a million thingsto tell you, but I don't.
(46:20):
But if I want, if youlike, if you were over at ABC
Sports and Fitness today and you're warmingup, and then you know, Eric's
my trainer and I waddle in.No one thinks you're gonna get in better
shape. Like, nobody thinks that'sworking, right. No, I would
have to turn you into like misterOlympia for it to be like for anyone
even And then they line up andthey want to know where I bought my
(46:42):
steroids. But yeah, I thinkeven then it a new potential gym.
There's people that don't look jacked andshredded. Average. Yeah, NT's bottle

I'm doing it. That trainer stillthere, we will find out he
don't. He don't train there?That comment, No I don't. I

was like, why are you overthere? Come here, come help me
out, all right? Uh USXpest control. I don't know if that
trainer or one they call himself USXpest Control has Tim Frank, Brazilian Victor.
I don't know if Victor is actuallyBrazilian or not. I don't know
if he speaks Portuguese, whatever itmight be. They will make sure your
home is safe thanks to USX PastControl. So I was late with the
(47:30):
