Episode Transcript

(00:00):
At MHD two Albaning W two foropening Fox Sports nine eighty ninety five point
nine. Fact you go back andguys on the Voice of the Capitol Regions
Sports Fan Fox Sports ninety five tonine and nine eighty. Figure out it,
dude, like quick social media updays before we oh our social media?

(00:23):
Yeah ant w lf X nine eightyat the Jeff Levak at Tom Goas,
Yeah, g is easy. I'mnoticing more and more that we are
becoming a source for arena football news. It's interesting, is it Arena fan
and a couple others all posting exactlywhat we said. Matthew Bob heard you
said. I get the Oakland A'sanalogy in that Albany needs to worry about

(00:45):
Albany, but there's no threat ofthe A's folding and not playing the rest
of the season. There's a legitimatethreat that the Firebirds may not have anybody
to play, and that has tobe maddening for uh lev act. So
here's the difference. If somebody everdid, like if if a Major League
Baseball like if the A's just allof a sudden when yeah, we're good,

(01:08):
We're not going to finish this year, it would the cascade and the
craziness that would come out of thatwould would send shockwaves to the sports world.
Sadly, at this level, thishappens. This happens like look at
last year. Look at what happenedlast year. It's imagine. Imagine being

(01:33):
part of a sport or a levelof sports where an insane person come in
take your biggest team in your leaguehostage to the point where they don't finish
the season, and they're not alone. Other teams don't finish the season either,
and you still crowd a champ likethat's what happened in the NAL.
That happened, and they fought throughit and everything that happened. If they

(01:56):
were able to finish the season,there there is I don't see a scenario
where we don't have anyone to play. And the reason I don't see that
with the Firebirds is we have madeconnections. And I look at the AFL
and I do think there are thereare some teams right for the picking.
There are some teams that are probablyscared right now because they've never there are

(02:19):
two games in, maybe they haven'tplayed a home game yet, they haven't
built up cash, and they're probablynervous. They're probably scared because we've had
a couple of years where we startedon the road and it's like, we
need a home game, we needsome money, you know, we want
that. Let's go and we youknow, we found our way and we
always made it through. And thisis the year where I feel the most

(02:39):
confident in our team, in ourstructure. Three local leaders, three local
owners is amazing. There's not ascenario where there's no one to play.
There's some really big teams in theAFL there. If you want to have
a debate right now, should theleague have launch with eight instead of sixteen?
You can have that debate, youcould, and you can make good

(03:01):
arguments on each side. I feellike that discussion of eight versus sixteen.
If you're new to this show,if it's your first time, welcome,
don't forget to that subscribe button onthe top right here. If you're on
Apples Spotify. But remember this isnot the first time. On the first
Monday in May, you and Isaid that you laughed at me when I

(03:22):
said this month ago and I said, hey, Lovac, that arena football
we announced beent a couple of monthsago. When they said they were gonna
name the cities. Those are states. Some of those are states. That's
not so there have been I'm like, hey, man, like all,
but he is not on that list. What happened, Well, we weren't
We weren't going to be right.We didn't know what we wanted to do.
So there been there have been changesinvolving the Arena Football League for months.

(03:44):
So I can't say that what I'mwatching now is shocking because of what
you and I have seen from thestart of like you were very bold bold.
What's the old expression like bold benefitor something benefits for fortun benefits of
bold. That's it where the ArenaFootball tried it. They try to be
super bold. What was the biggestcriticism in eighteen? In eighteen that was

(04:05):
four teams? Right? What wasthe biggest criticism in nineteen that it was
more than four right? Yeah,So Lee Hunting Chamelle Gaines looked at it
and went, we need we needa big number to launch, and God
bless him, they did what ittook to get that big number to launch.
And I think some of those teamsare going to prove them right that

(04:29):
they should have taken a chance onthem. Some of the teams are already
proven them wrong. They shouldn't havetaken a chance on them. I don't.
I don't know the gentleman that well, you know what I mean,
Like, I don't know the ownersof their teams that well. I don't
know Lee hunting All that well.I know I've talked to him many times.
It's a very smart man. TreelGaines, very likable, but very
affable, nice guy like dude,just kind of guy like you want to

(04:50):
sit around and talk to. Iknow that they did what they thought they
had to do to build the bestleague from the beginning. Now again we're
three weeks in. Yeah, ifyou want to sit there and go hindsight,
Okay, you should have done this, sho this you could, Hunterson
could, I I could, ButI don't. I don't mean to sound

(05:13):
insensitive. I don't care about Iowa. I don't. I don't. They
were never on my schedule. Idon't care all that much about Oregon.
I'd like to see him in thechampionship because they're nice guys. I talked
to him a few times. PlusKevon Timpandall's part of it. It'd be
pretty cool. I don't. Idon't care if you're on my schedule,
I'm gonna do what it takes toplay you. I'm gonna do what and
coach where, and the guys aregonna do what it takes to beat you.

(05:35):
And then at the end, ifyou're not on my schedule or you
or you, something happens and yougo away. I got I got connections,
man, This this whole thing wentaway tomorrow. I can make phone
calls, we can have teams setup, we can we can road and
we can home and away a bunchof teams. It ain't going away.
The resources at the at the reachof Trebell, Gaines and Lee Hunton are

(06:00):
far greater than what you've been told. And this ain't going away. This
might sound like a stretch or reachfor this comparison here, but you did
tease talking about the Kentucky Derby hereand there actually is a parallel from what's
going on in the Arena Football Leaguenow in twenty twenty four, that of
what's going on in horse racing,Like there's been some controversy involving horse racing,
involving Bob Baffort and horses and abig name finding himself in controversy and

(06:24):
not being in it, but I'msure state by state and legislation more there
have been meetings that have happened thatsaid, what can we do to improve
the product? What is horse racingoverall not doing well enough that we can
sustain something that will not turn ourfans off. Now, horse racing has
been under those criticisms in the past. How much of it all will those

(06:46):
changes happen? How much will affectus? Those answers remain to be seen
and heard and watched and everything else. But there are some efforts with some
type of overseeing of let's make changesor outlaw people that are doing it wrong
that are heard in the sport.Uh. I know you're not the owner
of the Albany Firebirds, but dowe know if there's any of that stuff
happening behind the scenes, Like isthere like a meeting setup? Do you

(07:10):
not know? Is there schedule?Like because with all this stuff going on,
like is there something that's going tohappen the next week? We're like,
okay, more clarity is on theway, Like horse racing got some
clarity on Saturday, Like Okay,this is the way we're gonna do things.
And if you don't do it thisway, where you're gonna find is
there isn't Bafford allowed to run inthe Preakness. He is, and probably

(07:31):
the Belmont different states. Hey,you know what Kentucky Derry goes. I
don't care what you do. Thisis what we do. I will tell
you that this. There is nolack of communication in this league there,
especially like my quarter. My quarteris involved in calls all the time.

(07:53):
I'll try to call him Mike,I'll get a text. I'm on with
Lee Hunton, I'm on with games. I'm on with the owner, you
know, missus on the owner ofthe myth. I'm on with this one.
It's constant, It's constant contact.And that's why, like I know,
I know, it's like it's soeasy to watch. So many people
wanted this to fail from the beginning. So many people people that I used

(08:16):
to call friends that don't talk tome anymore because I'm part of the AFL.
Think about that. Can you imaginesomeone saying, I don't want to
be your friend anymore because we bothlove arena football and you have a job
in what could be the biggest leagueout there. Can you imagine like that,
That's how bad it didn't want thisto work for whatever reason, and
they see these little weird things happeningand they're jumping all over over go check

(08:41):
those fan pages. Every single leaguehas similar issues at some point they do.
It's just it's just again. AndI've been very up from from the
beginning, probably more than anybody reallywants me to be. This year won't
be rocky. It's gonna be arocky year, not for us, but
for everybody else. Be a rockhere. And then we'll look back and

(09:01):
at some point everyone's gonna look aroundand go, hold on, why are
all the absolute best players in theAFL? Because they This structure of the
league is who pay the player more. That's the structure of the league.
So let me ask you, ifyou're great at what you do, are
you gonna go to the guy whomeans well but can only pay you a
quarter of what the guy who alsomeans well, but we'll pay you four

(09:24):
times that amount. Where are yougoing? I would like to take the
money though, Yeah, so soI said it. It's and I know
it's I know it's crazy, andI know there's a lot of weird stuff
going on. I just I'm notworried about it. It'll all come together
one way or the other. AndI see some of the tweets for some
of the other people and stuff thatare involved. I've never met half these

(09:46):
people. I don't again. MVParea is open Monday. Let's go a
week for tonight. If you hadto do wagering. We talked a lot
of wagering in the last twenty minutes. But this is the interesting way twenty
twenty fours taking me stuff. Someonesaid a few months ago, Hey,
the biggest story in the Capital regionthis summer will be I think Belmont would
have been a strong leader, andit still can be. I think Belmont

(10:07):
still is gonna It's still much everythingelse. The reason I even bring this
up is because of what's happened herelocally over the last two weeks in particular.
And however, you credit when summerstarts, because this could be the
summer of the fire Wolves. Yeah, yeah, who are going for a
championship on the seventeenth and the twentyfourth, and potentially twenty fourth if needed.

(10:28):
Game two is on the road,I believe in Buffalo. Yeah h
think about that, right? Sothe fire Wolves go with their three win
team. I don't think they wanta single game at home. So now
they are in the championship, they'rethey're fighting for the NLL Championship. And
more people are reporting on what's wrongwith the AFL, then what's right with

(10:48):
the FireWolves. Yeah, the crowdwas insane in Buffalo Wild. I believe
the rumors. They've already sold twelvethousand tickets out in Western New York.
So they're gonna Friday at MVP Arenathan key Bank Center known we chure got
that right key Bank Center on theeighteenth, game one, seventeen, game
two, eighteen on in Western NewYork and then if needed, twenty four

(11:09):
here in the Capital region. Soit could be the summer of the FireWolves.
It could be the summer of thefire Birds with all the storylines we
just talked about in more home gamesbeing added and everything with us helped.
Look the Valley Cats and the Patroons. We got love for you guys as
well. With more summer games onthe way. But you mentioned the Derby,

(11:31):
and I wonder if this is thestoryline you're going on there. Mystic
Dan wins the Derby. He's nota favorite, He's not a can't miss
he's not even Sierra Leone. Idon't know if Sierra Leon would have ran
the Preakness with Chad Brown Mechanicville Zonne. Maybe not, because they immediately said
the Belmont, and we know thelove Saratoga's got for Chad Brown because a
heavy favorite didn't win, because afavorite didn't win, hell somewhere in between,

(11:54):
a long shot one. It's notfair. It's not American Pharaoh,
it's not Justify California cripman. It'snot one of these big, can't miss
favorites that's going to potentially run fora triple crown. How much of it
all do you think that plays afactor in what could be the Belmont Mystic
Dan winning or giving out here ordo we have to wait till he runs

(12:15):
the Preakness? You know, Idon't say they haven't committed to the right.
No, That's that's what it comesdown to for me. And the
fact that you and I were talkingto our friend Dan, I'm like,
I better bet I better beat MysticDan. Like you try to break him
down. I'm like, oh,that's that. That one pooped, That
horse is gonna run fast. Ohmy friend's name is that? And I

(12:35):
didn't do it. I didn't.I didn't bet Mystic Dan like a like
a chump. I left the eighteento one out there for no reason.
But like, yeah, if heif there's a if there's a legit chance
at a triple Crown at Belmont,that has to become the story of the
summer. But we've also seen itthe other way, where if there's a

(12:58):
really great winner of the Preakness andthey meet at the Belmont, that would
be cool too, almost the heavyweightfight at Saratoga. Not so much the
triple Crown Tawk, but it isyou can't miss this duel between these two
great horses that could battle out Thatcould definitely be a storyline two. And

(13:20):
then they rematch it travers one moretime, the brawl to settle it all.
Yeah, it's just interesting how thisweekend went because some would have predicted
the Firewalls potentially lose to San Diegoand not pull it off. But here
they are. Some would have lookedat the firebars and said, you know
what, they're in Minnesota this weekend. No is what's happening. We'll mentioned

(13:41):
that later out of the hour.If you haven't already figured it out,
I we'll talk more about that throughoutthey are. But now with the Belmont,
like Mystic Dan, can you havethat said I was there when American
Pharaoh was just jogged before the travers, how wild Saratoga got, Like I
just know the level of what atraver's weekend is, like Saratogain opening days
like in Friday's. Let's hope itdoesn't rain every Friday, like we know

(14:05):
the excitement around Saratoga. If MysticDan wins the Preakness, I think it's
very easy for us to say thisis an historic kit. I like the
storyline you brought up, but Iwant to see him run. And I
know that's selfish, but let's findout give us the storyline. I don't
want Saratoga to be cheated out ofa great storyline because someone said, we
just don't want to run him.If you get beat, you get beat.

(14:26):
Like even the fact that West Sarahtogaand I know it's not after Saratoga,
it's after the owner or the TrainerStreet that grew up on. I
want that crazy cool storyline that wouldhave been out there. I don't want
the storyline to go away because peoplemade it go away. We're not at
that point yet on this Monday.And it's the one thing I will and

(14:46):
I know that I speak for bothof us when I say this. If
you tell me there's a potential healthissue if he runs that fast like two
weeks after you ran, Okay,no, don't run him, got it?
It makes sense. Harm But ifyou're like I really we want a
shot at the Belmont, Okay,well we live in New York and we
love the Belmont, and now thatit's Saratoga's for two years, we really

(15:07):
love the Belmont. But the Belmontmeans more. If you come with both
those wins, it just means more. It just means so much more.
So if you're if you're doing itbecause you want the Belmont, make the
Belmont mean the absolute most, theabsolute most, and run and win both
the Derby and the Preakness. I'mgonna I'm gonna ruin. Another joke from

(15:28):
the roast, It was Glazy Radioseven rings. Well, hey, now
that just all give you one back, Lillian David. I wonder if they
were watching that Alyssa David Tammy Chee. Well, that's the thing is,

(21:00):
back and Guys on ninety five nineFox Sports Radio. I've seems interesting things.
Corey very upset with you. Iknow, he just left me a
message he's not happy with my guestbooking policies. And he just sent me
a bunch of mooing on Facebook.So there's that. And then somehow we

(21:25):
were having a conversation with one ofour friends about Taco Bell and said friend
said, I'm not sure if you'vehad the spicy potato taco low calorie slaps,
it's not cap And I went,what are you talking about? Lol,

(21:47):
I'm hip. I think we needto check on him. What was
it in that this is what happened. I think he's just spent a little
too much time around young people.He's a little he's he's not as young
as he thinks he is. Hismind is, but his body seems to
be wounded. That he's trying tostill lead unhealthy. But he's on a
health kick right now. Now.He's trying to low calorie done great.
I'm not dropped. I think,yeah he was, but he still wants

(22:12):
TV and he's find the way todo it. He's there's there's a book
out thereat this not that, Soyou like what to order in each place
he's he's doing. Listen. Ican't can't argue with results, No can
I argue with but I will arguewith that order in what it's done to
his body and more so his mindand his bathroom. All right, you

(22:32):
are the drama queen of the show, as per usual, give me those
juicy storylines in New York. Soso what drama have you invented already?
Oh? And it started involving AaronRodgers and Jordan Travis because this fact,
you know, we just talked aboutour summer. What could be our summer?
Great, healthy, good local storylines, teams, winning teams having success,
a little bit of controversy. Butpeople get to be talking about the

(22:56):
Alby campit region based teams. Theproblem is last summer was all about Aaron
Rodgerson Hard Knocks and the Jets inthe Super Bowl, a actual TV show,
no two television shows based off ofit, the traditional Hard Knocks and
then you had one Jets Drive hadall the storylines. He wanted a savior
coming to town to do it,save the team, blah blah blah.

(23:18):
Then they stunk and he got hurtafter a couple of plays. So the
controversy was that there was Zach Wilsonthe quarterback and waiting the next chosen one,
the first round pick who future,who had struggled, but was going
to have this story where he overcameall the adversity and still became the quarterback.
We all believed there's a great storyin the Bible, and I'm forgetting
right now that someone goes off andcommits all the sin of the prodigal son.

(23:41):
I think that's the prodigal son.He returns home and everything's great.
Nope, fell So that didn't work. So here's the Jordan TRAVISO. We
see this more so than any otherNFL team anyone. It's the New York
Jets quarterback and how they perform inthe preseason. You and I remember the
days when Teddy Bridgewater was lighting itup against third stringers and he was called

(24:03):
the greatest quarterback ever. They gotto start him. He's incredible, he's
the best. He's stunk Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two gloves, had a nice
career as a backup. Horrible injurylikely costed a lot of seasons of his
career. But he was not thatgood. He was lighting up third stringers.
Wasn't it Zach Wilson who was prettygood in the preseason? You know,
he wasn't an O'Connell. He wasn'tVictor Cruz, but enough to people

(24:27):
to be like, you know what, wasn't okay? Right? He's playing
against the second and third stringers,but he's doing okay. When you have
a couple of flashes too. IfRoger's around, you know what's what's likely
going to happen here for Jordan Traps, he's gonna get that same treatment.
If he's ready to go by September, excuse me, August. August,
get a couple of reps in hemight play against some third stringers. He'll

(24:49):
look good and they'll say he's thefuture, even though Tyrod Taylor's still on
the roster, even though he's theBackup's the future? No, he's not.
He's he is someone who will likelyplay in emergency if Rogers isn't out
there. But what we've seen withyoung quarterbacks and New York teams, and
I know this will happen, isthat there would rather be New York quarterbacks

(25:10):
and New York fans see the youngguy play than the veteran backup play.
I've lived in a world in Jetfans you have as well, where there
were real serious calls for Bryce Pettyto be the starter for the Jets.
There were real calls to be like, who cares if Hackenberg doesn't know the
offense? Get them out there,play them like Jet fans, you are

(25:30):
the ones who do this every year. So every team does it. Though
maybe the Jets are louder. Youknow what, maybe because the Giants and
Bills have gotten the quarterback situation figureout a little bit better. It feels
like the Jets are bornt anybody else. So there will be a time people
call for Travis this season. Youhope not. But this little quote game
a little quote, Yeah, ofcourse that would to be the successor.
Yeah, I want to do They'regoing right back to Travis again, even

(25:52):
as Clicheesel's answers were. But tobe the successor is one thing, like
I think if I have zero issuewith him saying he wants to be the
successor, Taron Rodgers, because youlook at the current quarterback room, right,
Aaron Rodgers, it's his team,Tyrod Taylor back up, you know,
most veteran backup. Jordan Travis.I can't believe you didn't even mention

(26:17):
peewee Jarrett. Sorry, mister Jaredpee wee. How dare you poor pee
wee worry peewee, We got you. But if you look at the current
quarterback room, Aaron Rodgers, twoyears, shoot the moon, Yes,
shoot the moon. Two years,Tyrod Taylor four two of the two,
okay, same time frame. JordanTravis is the dude in line. He

(26:44):
should be saying that now if hecame out went successor I'm gonna battle that
old part for the starting job rightfrom the rip. That's I'll tell you
what you he and I. I'vegot perfectly functional achilles right now. Like
if he came out and started likepopping off, if he popped off against
Taylor, Ha, Tyron ha.He can't even he can't even get an

(27:07):
injection without missing a season. Howhow dare you but to say I'm this,
I want to be I want tobe the air apparent. That's I'm
okay with it. I'm okay withit. Now, Do I think that
you're the same level of crazy asa lot of the Jets reporters? Sure
are they gonna bring? This isthe New York Post gonna bring. If
Aaron Rodgers throws an interception in apreseason game, like the fifteen second he's

(27:33):
out there, it's a time forTravis. Yes, you are. You
are all equally crazy. You knowthis made me feel like that. You
and I will text after the show. Before the show, we're friends,
We'll go out, we'll get drinkswhen Jar coming. I believe it or
not, But uh, these aremoments where you need a real good friend
group. Okay, Aaron Rodgers needssome better friends. We were talked about

(27:56):
the Roast earlier, and not onlywere those guys teammates the Patriot players,
but it seems like they are friends. There are people Tom Brady and the
roast felt comfortable with those guys makingfun of him because he had a trust
level with him and he knew theinside jokes and everything else. There was
clearly some friendship and some healthy roastingneeds good. To make sure your friends
stay in line and don't get toobig of an he go like JJ Watt

(28:18):
way back I use tell that allthe time, Like which about a jj
Watt's friends is letting him post thisnonsense? Why is no one roasting jj
watt about how dumb this stuff?Russell Westbrook's a great one. Nobody pulled
Russell Westbrook aside and said, dude, you were arguing with a grown man
wearing a balloon on his head.Stop it. And here's why I bring
it up. Because everybody has thisin their life. Whether it's your wife,

(28:41):
whether it's your girlfriend, your fiance, your friends, your brothers,
your sisters. There are people youvent to about anything about life, about
your job, about your girl.It's healthy. A therapist, if you
got a therapist, great. Everybodyneeds to vet. Everybody needs to get
it out of their system. Anybodyneeds the rant. It's a healthy thing
to do. I want to hearthe Aaron Rodgers private rants. I want,

(29:03):
yes, I do. I wantto hear the events. I want
to know who he does it with. I want to know what he's on
because I feel like from what I'velearned about Aaron Rodgers and some stuff I
wish I didn't learn about Aaron Rodgersis like I could see him being so
sensitive, being so warped by hislack of understanding of the world that he
could hear these comments that Robert Salizsaid today, and Robert Saaliz said about

(29:26):
Jordan Travis quote, I think hehasn't even scratched the surface. He was
winning games doing things that were justpure athleticism. If we could tie that
football part into it, I thinkwe've got ourselves a pretty damn good football
player, Aaron Rodgers. Here's thequote, Oh, a good football player.
Wow. If he learns football,doesn't even know I learned foot like,

(29:47):
I can see him being like,no matter what the quote is,
So why I'm I don't believe anydifferent about Rodgers is a weird twist on
it. Here's what we saw,Okay, Like, here's what we saw,
and everything was going good for Rogers. He wanted everything to go good
for Zach Wilson everyone else. Assoon as it wasn't going good for Rogers,

(30:07):
he kind of it looked like hepulled back, right because we saw
as Zach Wilson go, you know, he's got my back, and all
of a sudden, he's like hewhere'd he go? Where? It's yeah,
well, he's worried about getting healthynow, buddy, like it's not
about you anymore. I think iflet's say this, this season for the
Jets goes to script, right,Aaron Rodgers starts every meaningful game for the

(30:30):
Jets, they make the postseason,maybe make a run in the postseason.
Let's go crazy, right, Ithink he will be an amazing mentor to
Jordan Travis. Let's talk about lastyear's script. Within the first three to
four games, Aaron Rodgers gets hurtand whether he can play or not,
he can't play like Aaron Rodgers.I think it will be a terrible mentor.

(30:52):
And everything you're saying, speculating aboutright now will come to fruition.
But it's all about the luck ofAaron Rodgers right then, right there,
If Rogers is fine, if he'seaten, everybody's allowed to eat. But
the second he has to walk awayfrom the table, you better not sit
down. Don't even don't even lookat the chair, don't even look at

(31:12):
it. I got a serious issuewith this team all of a sudden,
with the Jets. How can yoube pee wee Jarrett and be six four
and forty pounds. That's one ofthose ironic nicknames, right, tiny,
that's right, pee Wee. Iwant pee Wee Jarrett. That's the dude.
I can't wait for the preseason tosee pee Wee Jarrett sling it.

(31:33):
Pee Wee Jarrett is a great namefor when the NCAA football video game comes
out and you know you couldn't dothe real names back and then used to
got a recruit. Oh, Igot a four star named pee Wee Jarrett.
Who I think I cracked the coaton pee Wee Jarrett will be the
starter for the Firebirds in four years. Good. I want to sign him

(31:53):
right now. No, No,Jake Sandling bitness right now? How dare
he is playing great? He's amazing, fantastic, and he's just starting to
starting to vibe, was just startingto vibe more intriguing. I mean this,
It won't be the first time Iask you this question. I might
ask you this question like it didlast year about the Jets all the way
up to kickoff, more intriguing,more interesting storylines going into Week one of

(32:17):
the season. Do you find itas the twenty twenty three New York Jets
from last season or the twenty twentyfour New York Jets. Nothing will be
as intriguing as last year's because thatwas they took over sports. I thought
you were gonna say the twenty twentyfour Jets quarterback room or the twenty twenty
four Giants quarterback room because he like, think about this, right, Jordan

(32:39):
Travis, If you're correct, Idon't want to put words in your mouth.
Jordan Travis has put himself in theconversation to be the quarterback for the
Jets, at least as far asthe media is concerned. Yes, how
about Tommy DeVito. Everybody loves themsome Tommy DeVito, Tommy. Daniel Jones
is not Aaron Rodgers. I don'tI don't mean to shock anyone with that.

(33:00):
I don't know what. I hopeyou guys were driving. I hope
you're okay. So like where ifAaron Rodgers healthy, Aaron Rodgers boom,
no other question. Daniel Jones ishealthy Dale Jones right, like both those
quarterback rooms Drew locked Hirod Taylor.There there's a lot of seeds being planted

(33:22):
for some drama, just a matterof which ones make their way to the
surface somewhere deep in that soil.I like how this started, like the
old crystal ball. Okay, wemight have to do that like Cornheiser and
Will Bonnies to actually get the Robesand the Wizards and rubbing the crystal ball
of what was coming. They hada budget. Yeah, in my crystal
ball that I'm rubbing right now.It's October top it October twenty twenty four,

(33:46):
Colorado. The Buffalos just had ahuge game. The Giants arowing four
and Daniel Joe stinks a talk ofShador Sanders and Dion coming to New York.
Oh, I would, I'll tellyou what right now, that would
be beautiful woes we I know,we always like at least to try to

(34:07):
get to the camps. There's youcouldn't drag me to Giants camp. If
that was you couldn't you and everyoneyou know couldn't get me to do?
I would? I would fight dirtyto stay away from that one. Those
defenses over. I mean, he'salready he can't shut his mouth. That

(34:28):
apple did not fall far at all. Listen, it is that time of
year, is in the seventies.Today, backyards starting to look nice.
You want to be out there,how about you do it very safely by
going to u S ex Pest Control. Yeah, get the inspection done today.

ninety five nine and nine eighty Bonusbu No not those me win one

(36:06):
thousand dollars in bonus bucks right here. Keep listening for the keywords to enter
at our website. Asphalt doctor,the Capitol. It's a vacan guys on
ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.Time for the jump. No, no,
no, no, it sounds I'mtelling you there's something in this They

(36:30):
changed something in this room, thewire anything. Yeah, I think so,
because I can hear it in myheadphones. It's weird. Could it
be your headphones. I don't thinkso. I don't know. I could
plug them into another jack. Itsounds like before when they were tweaking things,
and then they air quote fixed theheadphones. And then when I said

(36:55):
to them like, hey, theysound a little funny. Oh I did
this, I'll I'll fix it again, and then it was great for a
long time. I don't know thatfor a fact, though. Again,
it could be the headphones. Itcould be a million other things. I've
been fighting it to the whole show. I've been trying to be the bigger
person about it, and it's justit's like a little like I feel I

(37:16):
feel overmodulated, and and I feellike I can hear like this high pitched
noise in the background. I thinkI have that that could be a pet
peeve. I think that's a petpeeve thing that would bother somebody. Things
are like, Okay, maybe theregular ear, the regular fan might not
notice, but that's definitely something onthe list. Like I found one as

(37:38):
well. I think it's now cometo sports. I don't think it's a
pet peeve. I think it's torture. I think it's slow and deliberate torture
from control all Dave, Well,go ahead. I'm sorry that certain things
in sports are now bothered me andthey come to coaches and players like this
is a double combination that's happened inthe league right now. Let's start with

(38:00):
the Dallas Mavericks. There's a storyout there today the Jason Kidd has been
extended by the Dallas Mavericks. Thisgoes way back, and I know exactly
where you and I were. Thisgoes to Katie O Burns when you and
I were sitting there watching the storyabout Jeff Fisher potentially getting extended for the
Rams while this season was still goingon, it made no sense, Like

(38:22):
Jeff Fisher at that point was constantlygoing seven to nine and they were talking
about, well, we got toextend him during the year, Like why
mel Tucker this happened in Michigan Statevery got extended right after they beat Michigan.
This happens all the time. Andmaybe it's just like an art form
of agents. They're like, getthe money while you can strike while the
iron is hot. So Jason Kiddjust got a contract extension allegedly with the

(38:45):
Dallas Mavericks while the playoffs are stillgoing on. Now I'm gonna get to
the Nickson a second, but let'sjust sit there. What do you make
of that stuff? Levac? Whenyou hear like, the season's not over,
but people are beating re signed andgetting new contracts while the finished product
is yet to be determined, doesit bother you as much as it bothers

(39:07):
me or your headphones? Like whereis it on the level of bombing headphones?
Headphones bother me way more? Youknow me. I'm I'm big.
I'm not pocket watching like I sounless I see something about it that that
raises like you know, my mysuspicious nature, I don't care like you
know what I mean. Like alot of times like these ones, like

(39:28):
people get extended right now, Wellthat's obvious. They're afraid the Lakers are
coming, like you know what Imean, Like it's one of by Land
two is by Sea three yo.The Lakers are right there. They they're
trying to hire our coach right now, I see them. Lebron is already
in his DMS. I can seeit right now. Stop that man,
Stop Lebron. No no from you, no steals. Yeah. So these

(39:52):
ones don't bother me. But it'slike the the Jeff Fisher when I remember
that was like why, like whatwas he? Were you afraid you couldn't
find somebody else that was going tobe extremely mediocre, like because you're seven
and nine nine or seven seven nine, nine and seven? That was what
he was. It was if youwere a fan of Jeff Fisher. September

(40:15):
seventh, was Jeff Fisher die?If you were July ninth was because those
were the records that he most frequentlyhad. Yeah, I know that.
It's the ears. This is botheringme way more. It's again, there's
like a high pitch in the background. It's like I feel like a dog
that can hear a whistle that youcan't hear. That's what I feel like

(40:35):
right now. All right, Sothere is something to that that does bother
you of like, Okay, theseason is not over, the product is
not done. This would almost belike taking a test and not finishing the
test. Like imagine you were inschool and you were doing like the SATs.
Imagine this now the SATs were heyou're killing it on the math portion.
You know what, You've already beenaccepted to Harvard. Don't even work
on the English. You've done enough. We're just gonna offer you the scholarship,

(40:57):
right, Okay, No one doesthat. No, no boss gives
you the bonus before the year's overand says, you know what, good
enough forget about the next five.But so that bothers me, But maybe
not as much as this in thedump today? How often him. You're
a Paul George fan. Do youlike Paul George? I like Paul George.
I think he's a fantastic player.I'd consider myself a fan anymore because

(41:19):
I like, I forget about himnow that he's not like when you use
in Indiana. I wanted him onmy team when he first got to LA
I still want him now. I'mjust like, eh, I don't pay
as much attention to him. Butif he ended up like if he was
ready to take the right roll withthe Knicks, I'd be all about it.
Ah ah, there it is rightthere. That's the problem, you
and you people. There it isright there. So the Clippers get knocked

(41:43):
out, the Dallas Mavericks are goingon in the next round. The Mavericks
are playing in the thunder and weit kind of makes sense now coming off
that kid conversation. But Paul Georgeis being talked about as a member potentially
next season for the Orlando Magic.Okay, makes kind of sense. A
young team looking for a leader,needs some leadership in the locker room.
Maybe the next step. They gotsome money to spend. Okay, they

(42:05):
know he won't be a Clipper nextseason, but the Magic makes sense.
And you know what, the Magicseason's over. They lost to the Caves.
You can do that, excited Magicfan. There's the problem with the
New York Knicks right there, likeso many Knicks fans are so used to
being at this point the first week, the first Monday in MA saying what
about next season? The season isnot over. But I know this used

(42:27):
to bother you about the Yankees,but people already thinking about next year's Yankee
linhim before the season. Rap.I cannot believe how much is sent me
into a fury today about Paul Georgeor I'm like, stop. The Knicks
could win the NBA title, theKnicks could beat Boston, they could get
to the finals. But today,hours before game one, which again you
can hear right here is the Knickstake on the Pacers on your home for

(42:50):
Knicks Basketball, Fox Sports ninety five, nine to nine eighty seven o'clock our
coverage, let's not mock next year'slot them before this line himself. I
think that's fair. Yeah, butthere's there should be two groups right now,
right there should be a group that'sfocused on right now, and then
off in a room that nobody talksabout, a massive square gardener at the

(43:10):
offices. There should be five dudeswith you know that haven't seen the light
of the day in months. They'rejust living on coffee and terrible intentions.
Who can we steal? How dowe get even better? Who can be
a Knick next year? How dowe go from that? That just tenacious

(43:31):
group that's gonna play defense and bearound a lot longer you think to,
oh my god, they're better thanthe Celtics. That's you got to have
somebody working on that. If you'renot getting better, you're getting worse.
That's the way it works, man. And I know pro sports is like
this, and I know we havemock drafts all the time and people are
trying to replace somebody else. AndI know in the college football world and

(43:52):
college in general, hey, nextyear's recruiting class, people are trying to
rank who's in the top one hundred, the top two hundred they planned for
next season. I should have understoodthis and just accepted, like this is
the way the world goes around.This is the sports world. There's always
somebody next. It was the firsttime in a long time where I saw
Paul George rumored to the Knicks,and I thought, let this one play

(44:15):
out, because you don't know yet, you don't know what you're gonna need.
I keep thinking about this, likeDoug Peterson scenario. We all remember
the final game for Doug Peterson asan Eagle where Doug Peterson basically took a
knee during the game because he wantedto. Yeah, but before that week
small ten five percent, probably justcrazy sports radio caller in Philly, nobody

(44:37):
was calling for Doug Peterson's job,and within one game he was out the
door. Did Jeff Fisher things agreat example. We could run through a
bunch of more of these words,like a coach's job was safe, something
wild happened in a playoff series,a game Grady Little probably way back when
Lenning Paedro throw. There are momentswhere it cost coaches their jobs. How

(44:58):
players should be held that same wayaccount. So there's my dump today.
Can we let things finish off beforemaking a decision. Can we let the
dust settle before we say this isno not like that? I mean,
let's not forget Paul George is alreadyin Cancun, like he's already posting himself
do ing backflips off boats, Likeit's already he's already on to next year.
Somebody's gotta be ready to give himthat soft landing spot, Like you

(45:21):
know what I mean? Like,hey, how about us? Why not
us? Let's let's get him inhere the Paul Rudd mean right now?
Yeah, just why not me?Why not us? The coaching thing is
is a little different from me.But but no, would the Knicks not
be better if Paul George was amember of the roster. Would the Knicks
be better with Paul George right now? Yes? Yes? However, why

(45:44):
I constantly thought about the Paul Georgething is that how much better can he
be? Like, I can't fullyevaluate the Knicks right now until I see
what ends up happening with Indiana,what ends up happening potentially with Boston.
If that's the team they draw nextdoor Cleveland, it's possible. It's almost
as if, again, I gottago back to football because it's a little
easier to explain with this one.Like, Okay, let's say the Bills.
The Bills know that they could winthe Super Bowl this season. They

(46:07):
feel like they have a perfect roster. They play Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Mahomes dices them up in the secondary. You know what, we have
to improve our past rush in oursecondary to stop Mahomes. If the Knicks
get to Boston, and all ofa sudden, poor Zingis has the game
of his life when they're good againstTatum and Brown. I know Porzingis is
her, but we know where aregoing with this. Hey, we need
a big guy down low, Likethe primary problem would be the big guy

(46:30):
rather than Paul George. The priorityof what needs to change should be affected
by the outcome of this season.And let me give you the list of
current New York Knicks who are betterthan Paul George. Jalen Brunson. My
list is over, but it's youknow, if the football analogy would be
I don't trying to think of likea really really really good player, maybe

(46:52):
not a top ten guy, buta top twenty guy, like a you
know, listen uh uh DeAndre Hopkinswhen he when when de Hops goes to
Tennessee, it's like, wait aminute, Tennessee just got better, but
it's not the best place for him. Like it's one of those things like
there's there's certain guys that when youadd them, they're just better than what
you have, and he's better thanwhat you have, you know, barring

(47:16):
it making some kind of like fullcivil war in the locker room where it's
like, yeah, but that meansJosh Hart won't be on the floor as
much or or whatever something like that. Okay, but that's the only that's
the only reason you don't. Andagain, I don't want Tips talking about
it. I don't want I don'twant any of the roster talking about it.
I honestly don't want it publicly mentionedby the Knicks. But if somebody

(47:37):
isn't privately having the conversation, hey, what do we want to offer,
Paul George, then you're not doingyour job. You're just not doing your
job, all right, real,my my, My dump actually is kind
of revolves around that area. Ohokay, I mean the dump area,
if you know what I'm saying.Oh, a story is making the rounds

(48:00):
about a wife who tried to helpout her husband but ended up, uh
really burning him, if you knowwhat I'm saying. So basically, this
thirty three year old gentleman, he'sgot lower back pain. I've got lower
back pain, terrible thing. Hate. It makes playing with this one year
old difficult, you know, can'tpick kid up, can't put the kid
down. She's got a wife,she's right around the same age. We'll

(48:22):
say thirty five, because that's herage decides to pour him a bath and
kind of get him a good soak. Maybe see if that she can get
the back to lighten up a littlebit, open up the pores, Yeah,
get it, you know, getyou loosen the muscles a little bit,
get that swelling down. Apparently,after about five minutes in the tub,
the husband notices, Uh, there'sa little like we'll call it,

(48:44):
a little a little little, alittle ringing, a little knocking at the
back door, if you will,well, little tingle and the old ring.
Oh. So, then two minutesafter that, he said, it
started screaming. As a matter offact, he said, it's like,
it's like the back door is screaming. Do you want to build a snowman.

(49:05):
It's it's crazy. It's going nuts. So he jumps out of the
tub exposes the full area to themissus likes something wrong. She then realizes
it's technically her fault because she pouredan entire jar of mixed vapor crystals into
the bath and an attempt to loosenthe muscles. He's out, he's in

(49:32):
trouble. She's mad at him becauseshe tried to help him, but she
ended up burning his leather cheerioh withvapor mixed vapor crystals? Who gets mad
like you? You can't get madin that one, can't you? Like
you? I think you can beupset, but you gotta forgive right away
because she was trying to help Gaz'sfaces. Oh gosh, how do you

(49:57):
forgive quick? I mean, Ifeels like that's a mistake that the intentions
were good, the execution was bad. Yeah, coming off a Mavericks Shark
tank. I feel like Cuban saidthat before, and for that reason,
I'm trying to like, that's gonnabe like, I'm trying to think of
anything like that has ever happened tome? I hope not. I hope

(50:20):
the answer is no. No.We're like somebody tried to help you,
they meant well, and then youjust you're like, what the hell did
you just do? Oh? Youknow what I had? So I've always
had allergies, right, I've alwayshad in my like you can hear them
right now. I'm still like congestedand everything. I have no fever,
no nothing, I just have allergies. So I used to work in a
kitchen when I was like eighteen nineteen, and there was a beautiful woman who

(50:45):
worked in the kitchen with us.She she's like, I can clear your
sinuses for you, like it's ait's something you do back. She wasn't
from here, I want to say. I don't think she was Vietnamese to
means, but she was from likeyou know, Central Asia. Over the
quick remedy. It's going to helpyou out, all right. So she
takes the stuff, she rubs itby my eye. It was hot pepper.
Ah, it was hot pepper.Oh my god, I will tell

(51:07):
you the truth right now. Everythingopened right up, crying boogers. Oh
my god. It was terrible.But she's like, you feel better,
don't you. I'm like, no, I can't see. It was like
a friendly pepper spray. That wasit. How long does it take to
get the the old back door?Stop screaming? I don't want to find
out. I don't. I'm eatingsome hot sauce that's done that to me.

(51:30):
But never never, just like aI don't take a bath and there's
mixed of vapor crystals, just hammerdown doing damage. There you go,
you know that's the dumper today.Well, uh, don't forget the nick
Star on at seven o'clock tonight,tip off set for seven third. You
don't forget also tomorrow coming up,Coach davemo where scheduled to join us.
I know the Firebirds schedule is developing. We'll say, well, yeah,

(51:51):
we just were hosting yet another game. We told you earlier, we'll tell
you again. Hey, if yeah, you were trying to figure out how
to watch us in Minnesota on Saturday. Thanks to the Timberwolves, you can
watch us live in person on Monday. Tickets are available now, special prices

That'd be a lot of fun.So that's it's it's it's that part
of it's developed. Nice. We'llbe there, You and I will both
be there. Maybe, you knowwhat, maybe potentially one week from now
we'll take the show live we headover to MVP Arena for next Monday.
It's very possible. I would lovethat because that would mean that I could
actually kind of focus on my joba little bit. I will start putting

(52:35):
in the chains to make that happenthat potentially we can go live on Monday.
Can you answer that question? Howmuch is gonna cost us? Guys?
Nothing? Okay, go ahead anddo it. There you go,
