(00:00):
It's Lavak and Guzz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. Oh yeah,
the third hour is upon us SlovakGas hanging out on the GT Toys too,

or early at all. I'm notreally positive anymore. I've WoT track of
the universe hardly at all. Weonly have two shows live in studio.

(00:20):
We only have three shows over ournext seven that are alive in stand that's
what you want me to believe.I'll trust you. I have a question
about a live show by the waythis week that will be heard on this
station. I'm seeing a lot ofFacebook rumblings, a lot of things going
on, so I'm gonna declare thisnow and please pass this message along to
fellow Firebird fans, the flock nation. I'm not joining any Reddit boards.

(00:45):
I'm not doing it. I'm notjoining the social media reddits. I'm not
drawing chat so Andrew Santillo, fellowvoice co voice. I never know how
to phrase that of the Firebirds wassending me pictures over the weekend of the
Nashville Chat. I know you joinedit on the YouTube chat, so I
know there's a Facebook the love back. Just tell everybody I'm not joining it.
If I'm not being rude, Ijust have no He'll do it.

(01:07):
He's pushed him. He loves attention. Now there's a rumor flying around about
this weekend's this week's Wednesdays Flock University, that we're gonna get some more local
coverage. Oh yeah, there's thenews is coming by. Do you want
to give the credit to the newstation? You want to keep that a
secret? Uh no, I Ihonestly was it the This was set up

(01:27):
by the flock Support. Oh sowe so we have a great booster club.
We call him flock Support because it'sjust there. They're more than just
a booster club, and a reporterfrom The Times Union reached out to them
and asked if it was appropriate ifthey could come to Flock Support at Buka

(01:48):
Devepo this weekend this week Wednesday.I don't know what date is. I'm
tired. It's been a long day. I've been here a lot, and
I was like, of course that'swhere. Of course they're welcome. Like
I think the the flock, thefan base to deserve all the credit in
the world, especially fan Flock Support, because these adoptive player bags. They
do are amazing. Not knowing whothe reporter is, I'm just guessing it's

(02:10):
Michael Kelly because he's I think soit makes the most sense because he has
been the most boots on the ground. He's on the beat for you guys.
Yeah, so he joined flipping overfrom his former employer. He's joined
the beat in March twenty four.I have to mention this now. I
was gonna save this for the dump, but I want to do this earlier
in this hour. Now, haveyou noticed something you personally? Have you
noticed anything? What? Okay,I'm glad you haven't because it's so well,

(02:32):
it's like anything like I mean,I've noticed a lot of things,
the laughter of a child. We'llmake sure I get the dates right here.
Last Tuesday, so about six daysago, at four o'clock in the
morning, my co host went onFacebook and complained that he wasn't his team

(02:53):
getting enough coverage both nationally and locally. Let me add this up to make
sure I understand this. That wasTuesday, my time frame correct, Tuesday
Wednesday. Four a game is ahard time to figure it there Wednesday,
Okay, Tuesday Wednesday. Since thatsocial media post has gone up. You've
been on the River for an entireweek. I believe I'll be that week

(03:14):
all week on ninety nine The River. Yeah, you've been on w g
Y Mornings twice. Doug like's talkingsports with me. That's not really just
because you're not invited. You hadCBS six coming studio on Friday. I
don't know when that piece is goingto be out. Do you now have
Michael Kelly showing up to Flock University? Did I miss anything? Roger Wiland's

(03:34):
covered quite a bit lately the powerof social media back. I don't know
who. Michael Kelly's been there fromthe beginning. He's been in the shop,
but he like I even I thankedhim. I was like, hey,
I just want you to know thatwas not about you. You have
been there each game he has been. He has been dialed in. So
I want to give credit where it'sto the rest of you. So just
saying, but truly your post quinninCantera miss picks one oh six, Yeah

(04:00):
you it has actually worked for peoplewho gave you grief about going to social
media complaining about local and regional coverage. You have been all over the place
since that happened, including now apiece live from Flock University tomorrow. Is
there more pressure on you now,Levac and the team after another big victory
and you call it a podcast outin like White Plains today too. Oh

(04:23):
yeah, white Plains in New York. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
yeah, No, I I listen, I no no pressure on me.
I don't I don't catch no orthrow the football. I don't have to
make tackles. I just you know, listen, I thought I did.
I had a problem with the factthat, you know, the whole if
it bleeds, it leads thing likewe were. We were the center of
chaos last year and no one myphone rang twenty four to seven. We

(04:47):
are the center of stability this year, knock on one and my phone was
uh fully charged most days. Youknow. So I'm glad if that,
if that's what it took for someof these guys to get off butts,
I'm glad, you know, Iam, But I don't. I don't
know. I don't know. Likeif you guys, you don't think it's
the direct result. I don't know. I don't think because I because because

(05:12):
a lot of these guys, listen, let's let's let's call what it is.
TV guys have a lot of ego, So like if they if they
felt like I was some lowly radiohosts was telling them what to do,
I think they would they would zigwhen I said zag, just to just
to prove they could. And mostmost news directors don't even care about sports

(05:32):
anymore, so they're not gonna getin trouble. You know. I've got
a lot of questions about the positionof news director in local media, probably
not for today. I gotta asksome people locally about what they think about
news directors. I've talked to afew news directors. I want to keep
those thoughts to myself. Also,speaking on TV people, I won't say
the name of the former anchor.I think you can figure this out if

(05:54):
you do enough digging this month.But I'm like, you know what,
this guy doesn't work in TV anymore. I wonder what he's doing financially.
He showed up where a four hundreddollars pair of Jordan's today. You must
be doing nice, buddy, formerformer news former newsperson about a four hundred
dollars pair of Michael Jordan sneakers hewas wearing today. So he must be
doing just fine. So pooh poohradio people see like he was here,

(06:17):
he was here in the building.I'll tell you. I'll tell you off
the air because I don't want toroot it for another station. Not No,
it was a great guest. That'sa great guest, A victory over
Nashville. And I feel like thiswas not supposed to go to this segment,
but I kind of like it whereit's going to. Do you want
to comment about what you've done inthe YouTube chat? Have you got any

(06:40):
grief about that over the weekend.I don't even remember being on the YouTube
chat. Okay, that was Yeah, there's a and that guy. That
guy, what he had to sayabout officiating, that was I don't know
if I would say those kind ofthings. It was. It was.
It was a weird game. Itreally was like it was. It was
probably the most clunky, disjointed gameI've seen this season. Like the last

(07:04):
forty seconds took almost ten minutes.There was there were more flags on the
field than maybe three games I've seen. I will I will take issue with
Eli Gold, whoa the legend?Yeah in his own mind, So apparently
Eli Gold has issues with me,whoa and my office because Eli had one

(07:30):
of his minions the goal that's reachout asking for our roster for game day
on like Wednesday. The rule inthe AFL is you have to provide the
the roster two hours before kickoff.So I wrote back, if you provide
me with your starting twenty one,I'll provide you with my starting twenty one.

(07:54):
Because if I sent over my startingtwenty one without getting that back,
coach Ware is gonna have Mark e. Rosco kicked me so hard where the
sun don't shine that because you knowit's unfair advantage, you know. So
I guess he's like, so hesaw, damn Ware. He's like,
your office doesn't want to share information, and where he's like, yeah,

(08:15):
I'm glad he didn't, you knowwhatever, and then wear game all the
information he said, every chance hegot how bad we were and how how
evil we were, and how muchAlbany cheats, and it's well, it's
a chippiness. You gotta expect thatwith Albany. And then they would read
off the penalties. Oh, yougotta expect that with Albany. Do you
also expect each your ass kicked twicethis year? Because you should? I

(08:37):
mean not like, dude, I'mall about like leaning towards your team,
like lean into your team when you'rethe announcer. Don't talk crap about my
fireburs, bro, because sooner orlater we're gonna talk and I'll be and
I'll let you know what to expectfrom me. It's everything you thought you
were gonna expect from my team.I know we played the cut earlier in

(08:58):
the show from the White Sox broadI wonder again, with all you were
like, he could not have beennicer to me when we talked to him.
I wonder if that played in theSEC when he did games for Alabama,
Like, that's exactly what the Aggieswould do. That's exactly what Auburn
you know. I wonder if he'sdone that line so often in SEC football
that he thought it would still hitin the Arena Football League. He's he's

(09:18):
his comeback is what he is likehe is, He's fools Gold. His
my name is fools. Because again, that's dude, what you should expect
from Albany is winning football. That'swhat we do. We win. I'm
like, watch they we had Ithink ten holding calls against us. They

(09:39):
had none, So you mean totell me with the athletic line that we've
got on our defense. We didn'tget held once. We didn't not once,
not once. No. Sorry,the rest said you couldn't challenge illegal
defense. That's not true. Whenwe're asked to see the list of what
they were alloted of challenge or not, they wouldn't show it to him.

(10:00):
And then and then goals up.They're telling about us. I can't wait
to see our download numbers from Nashvilleafter that take by you, before it
goes any further, leave ashals beautiful, say I love Nashville. Let's talk

Sports ninety five to nine and nineeighty one hundred and forty million dollars over

(11:13):
four years. That is the extensionsign between Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings
guaranteed one hundred and ten million dollars. He's the highest paid non quarterback in
NFL history. How you doing?How'd your day go? Let's start with

(11:35):
that statement right there. We candive in. First of all, when
we do the conversations about is theguy worth it? We all talk relatively,
and I get frustrated people like noathletes worth one hundred or two.
Okay, okay, take that outof it. We're talking about the NFL.
Yeah, we're talking about salary calves. What others, So I don't
need a whole take about what aboutteachers? What about nurses? We all

(11:58):
get that. Okay, we're notarguing that today can they catch a football?
We need to know. But bythe way, we don't do a
teacher talk show. We do asports talk show. We can break down
nurses days if you want podcast.How you doing? You know all the
NFL network does the Top one hundred, the one hundred players of the past
season, and they rank him andall the players and coaches that it wasn't

(12:20):
too long ago that two seasons ago, Mac Jones is in the top eighty
according to that Top one hundred.But ignoring that weird stat and how that
show comes together. If someone said, okay, guys, who do you
think is worth the most amount ofmoney in the NFL heading to the twenty
twenty fourth season. That's not aquarterback. I'd pick Justin Jefferson. I

(12:41):
really would. The idea that heis the highest paid non quarterback in the
history of the NFL. I gotno issues with Today. The NFL is
all about the passing game now,not about the running backs anymore. Statistically,
he has been the greatest wide receiverin the history of the NFL for
the time in his career. Havethey added a regular season game? Yeah,
all the other things about catches inyards. Sure, is he gonna

(13:01):
break Jerry Rice's records. That's probablya conversation for another time. But when
you have an historically great start toyour career in a league that relies on
the passing game. Oh, bythe way, he's also got a rookie
quarterback. He also has Jordan Addison, who's a pretty good player. He's
also got TJ. Howkinson. Icouldn't tell you they're running back off the
top of your head. Who's gonnaget the most carries this season? That's

(13:24):
also a concern. But for real, look across the NFL. Maybe your
guy Max Crosby's in the conversation,may maybe maybe TJ. Watt. Maybe
TJ Watt. And I think Ibelieve he got paid within the last calendar
year. I think he got paidwithin the last twelve months. But that's
about it. Like, if you'regiving me non quarterbacks to pay, I
would take Justin Jefferson over Jamar Chase. I would take him over Kelsey at

(13:50):
this point of his career because Kelsey'sa little bit a lot older actually,
So I got no issues with theVikings saying for us to be a contender,
for us to beat the Packers,for us to beat the Lions.
Justin Jefferson is the star, He'sthe future. He's been better than saying
brown for the Lions. I lovethe deal today for Minnesota. Minnesota fan
should be thrilled that Justin Jefferson's theirguy for the future. Uh, it

(14:16):
is a lot of money. Ohyeah, it's a lot like like a
lot of Think about this. JustinJefferson is about to put pen to paper
on a four year, one hundredand forty million dollar extension, one hundred
and ten guaranteed, by the way, that includes a signing bonus so at

(14:43):
due to him at signing. WhenJustin Jefferson sits down and goes double j
yeah, there I am. Heis going to get eighty eight million dollars.
Eighty eight million, seven hundred andforty three thousand dollars. I will
sign my name everywhere. I will. I'll become El Bartow. I'll start

(15:05):
spraying on the side of buildings fora piece of that, just a piece,
I mean, I wonder how thatwould like. So they must they
average that out over the course fora salary cap, but eighty eight up
front, so the majority of thatmoney is in your pocket. You're not
gonna get annually. How long untilhe goes that? I need other pump

(15:26):
anymore any more money? You know, I said Justin Jefferson, other people
who could have been considered Nick Bosa, But Nick Bosa just signed a monster
deal not too long ago. Ithink his numbers around like one hundred and
twenty million guaranteed something outrageous. MicahParsons, which you can get to here
in a little bit. For NFCEast fans, he might be in that
conversation. Hell, some people wouldsay Justin Jefferson's not the best wide receiver

(15:50):
in the NFL. They could argueTyreek Hill's the best wide receiver in the
NFL. Tyreek Hill got paid.Tyreek Hill also has been injured Justin Jefferson,
and I was injured too, Butphysically what the place he's able to
do are for the offense? Statistically? Yeah, I got no issues with
Justin Jefferson's deal. Mm hmm.I know. And and look it's you

(16:11):
gotta you gotta do salary cap math. Right this isn't. This isn't like
a lot of teams because your quarterbackis theoretically a rookie. So I would
assume this makes them, This leadsthem to believe what they've seen so far.
J. J. McCarthy's gonna bethe dude. And so that means
for four years almost with three,you can renegotia. After five, I

(16:37):
think it's a three you can youcan give a new deal. Yeah.
Three, So after three, ifunless unless McCarthy's lighting the league on fire,
you're gonna get four or five yearsof very reasonable contract out of your
quarterback room. If he's lighting aleague on fire, after three, you're
gonna have to deal with it.But then after three you probably have to
deal with this one too, Soyou go from there. The point I

(17:00):
heard that I found intriguing. Theplayer who has the same agent as Justin
Jefferson and extremely similar numbers even thoughhe's played a few less games is Ceedee
LAMB. So Ceede Lam's played sixtysix games and forty five yards thirty two

(17:22):
touchdowns on three hundred ninety five catches. Jeffersons played sixty three hundred and ninety
two catches eight hundred and ninety nineyards, thirty touchdowns. How many less
games? That was an important partof six six less. So the numbers
pretty close. Six last games forCeedee Lamb. So what is that seventy

(17:45):
five million when he signs his nameone hundred and thirty instead of one hundred
and forty. I saw somebody makethe joke on Twitter, and I don't
think they actually were joking. Theysaid the moment Ceedee Lamb heard the Justin
Jefferson news, he should have startedwatching shows on Netflix and told the Cowboys
I'm not coming call me. I'mnot showing up to anything else after that

(18:06):
deal. That's the same agent asyou, just saiddle back. My agent
has told me you guys can callme when the contract's ready. I'll be
here binging on Netflix till you figureout my new deal. Now, I'm
glad we brought up Dallas. I'mglad you brought Feede Lamp because this is
where it gets really interesting for NFCEast fans, especially Giant fans. So
we watched the Giants lose some impactoffensive players this offseason with the loss of

(18:30):
Saquon Barkley. Washington added in thedraft with Jaden Daniels and they think they're
gonna be contented. They've had areally good defensive line in the last couple
of seasons. The Eagles. Oh, they added Saquon Barkley. So the
Eagles are gonna hope to try toget back to the Super Bowl and potentially
win one. Here you are,Dallas, where's our guy, Christen Sales.
He's a big cowboy fan. There'ssome cowboy fans across the fly What
eight. Here's the issue. You'vegot Ceedee Lamb, who needs a new

(18:53):
contract now because of the Jefferson move, and one more time because it's important,
same agent. Micah Parsons is arguedas a top five the top ten
player in the league, and he'sperformed like that since the minute you drafted
him. Oh, by the way, Dak Prescott's on a contract year and
Zeke Elliott just got resigned because hedidn't want to match what the Titans gave

(19:14):
him. Tony Potard I think he'sgetting twenty four million in the next three
years from Tennessee, which is abizarre deal to say out loud. I
didn't think he was very good lastyear. So Dallas has got an issue.
Build stars and scrubs that we've beendoing and watching the Cowboys do the
last six or seven years, andstudying in his sports radio hosts. You
got some issues Dallas. Did JerryJones think he was gonna not be around
for this and be like, no, no, we're going all in.

(19:36):
I'll see a super Bowl. Theneveryone else could figure out my problem.
Dallas has got some issues, Lavacwith Ceedee Lamb and Parsons and Deck.
If I had to give you aread on that right now, I think
they're gonna pay Ceedee Lamb. They'regonna try to squeeze everything they can out
of Parsons, but eventually sign him, and I would I would venture to
guess they're gonna draft the quarterback intwenty five. They might financially have to

(20:00):
go get Sanders or Quinn yours.They might take the Texas Longhorgan cornerback.
What do you mean I can't draftarch Man in peer view? You'd like
to do? I want arch Boy. Here's let me ask you a new
game, real or gamesmanship. Recently, Mike McCarthy, head coach of the

(20:25):
Dallas Cowboys, when speaking of TreyLance, said quote, young quarterback comes
into a new system so you gotthe learning curve, but now starting to
get the timing with the routines.He's close to being a master of the
system. He has really high understanding, He's communicating very well. He looks

(20:45):
more and more comfortable. He justneeds reps. I know, I say
that every time I talk about him. He just needs as many reps as
he can. Is that real orgazemanship. Are they letting Dak Prescott know,
Hey, your replacement's already on thisstaff, or are they trying to
let him know, please don't askfor too much money because we might take
this kid over you and you're stillgone. It's actually a real quote.

(21:11):
I would say it's very true,because where do you get the reps?
The practices aren't like the ust tothat the professional lefe don't have time to
develop. The coaches have some restrictions. Again, I think that's a real
quote. It's cliche, it's notwhat the media wants. But I have
no reason to think that's not sobased on that Dak might be if if
if preseason goes the way of TreyLance, if he looks like he's got

(21:33):
this thing figured out in the timingdown, Hey, Dak, your move.
No, no, no, theywon't. Wait, hang on,
you don't think they're gonna pull thetrigger before week one? It depends.
No, I think you get thereps in in preseason for Trey Lance and
then you go to dak and say, hey, look you have two choices.
Take less money gives a little hometowndiscount or Trey Lan's is gonna be

(21:56):
a starting quarterback next Year's up toyou. Okay, okay, so we're
almost there to the same I wouldsay, are they projecting Trey Lance to
be the starting quarterback in twenty twentyfive? Potentially? But his contract I
believe when he was drafted he's onyear five two. You might have to
check me on that because he's inthe same draft class as Trevor Lawrence and
just no, no, no,thank you, he's he's with Wait,

(22:17):
it's Mac Jones, Trevor Lawrence,Justin Fields, Trey Lance all in the
same draft class from twenty twenty one. Because they were a COVID season twenty
one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, they must have picked
up his fifth year option. Goodgosh, So they're gonna find out quick
if he was drafted in twenty oneso they're gonna find out if they want

(22:37):
to roll with Trey Lance or ShadorSanders, Quinn Ewers, whoever pops up.
I don't think the plan is thatfar off. It really isn't because
we coaxed out. I would sayit's very unlikely for Dak to come back
to the Cowboys no matter what theresult of the season is financially, because
of what we just saw here withJustin Jefferson and what CD Lamb I would
draft. I would sign CD Lambbefore Dak's younger, say when Michael Parsons

(23:00):
might be the best defensive player inthe NFL not named Nick Bosa. Yeah,
I would say Dak, no matterwhat he does this season, is
not going to be the starting quarterbackfor the Cowboys in twenty They avoided his
fifth year options, so I don'tknow what they have him signed on right
now. Twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, so
he's probably on the last year ofhis rookie deal. Oh right, right,

(23:22):
right, twenty four going in Well, yeah, so that's it.
So, so it's make or breakyear for Trey Lance and Dak Prescott.
Both of you have a good havea good year boys get along, don't
don't be mean to each other.The reason I even questioned whether or not
they picked up the fifth year fora lance because they also traded for him.
They traded for him now and thenumber was twenty two and a half

(23:45):
million dollars. The fifth year notgonna pay a guy over a million bucks
to hold the clipboard? I getthat. Nope, man, well,
I mean here here's Jane Fan shouldbe excited right like, no matter what,
the future of Dallas is in question, and even the Giants aren't good,
it's fun to watch one of yourarrivals slowly burn is burned the right?

(24:06):
Or does Dallas think they're all inright now? Like? Maybe I
skip the most important part for CowboyFan. They aren't concerned about twenty twenty
five because they think they can winthe super Bowl this season. That's the
impression that I'm getting from from JerryJones. Jerry Jerry Jones when he talks,
it feels like everybody plays better ontheir contract year. Let's have three

(24:26):
of our biggest stars play on theircontract year, and if all three of
them live up to their potential,maybe we'll do something. If they don't,
I have every excuse in the worldto not bring them back. And
if we suck at the trade deadline, come get them. I'll take your
draft picks. There was a pointlast year in the regular season where that

(24:47):
Dallas Cowboy defense. Look, yeah, so d Q are Cowboys fan in
the office is not walking on thephone. He's listening to the show.
Trade everybody, Jerry, it's Chris. I didn't realize what these two were
talking about. Ris oh Man,Well, there's a point last season where
Dallas looked like the best team inthe NFL, if not the NFL,
at least the NFC. You knowwhat, No, I'm gonna stick by
that because there's times where the Chiefswere not looking great last season. They

(25:11):
didn't go as the top seed inthe AFC. Chiefs didn't click to late
in the year. No, andeven that they got beat by the Raiders
at the end, right, andthey played that game in the wild card
round. It they gave up fortyeight points against Green Bay. Yeah,
but the problem is, remember withthe Cowboys last year, The problem was
that they looked great, except thatwhen you actually looked at who they were
beating. So you know, theybeat they beat the Giants, They beat

(25:33):
the Jets, they lost to theCardinals, they beat the Pats, they
lost to the Niners, they beatthe Chargers and the Rams, they lost
to the Eagles. They were gettingthey were getting stomped out by good teams.
Then they went on a winning streakagainst the Giants, the Panthers,
the Commanders, the Seahawks, andthe and the Eagles when the Eagles were
already falling apart. Think about thisstat though, I know Cowboy fan probably

(25:56):
knows, we'll just do it onetime. So they gave up forty eight
points against the Packers in that wildcard game. Yeah, for the first
six weeks of the season, soup until October twenty eighth, before their
kickoff on the twenty ninth against theRams, they had given up a combined
total of fifty six points. Whatfifty six points till late October forty eight

(26:18):
in four quarters. Yeah, Butagain you're like when you look at the
strength of schedule, who they wereplaying, and they did beat Detroit late,
like it's but it was not likethe I remember being all in on
the Packers of that one because itwas just like, well, the Packers
are playing well against good teams.The Cowboys had beat one good team and

(26:40):
that that Lions game was was crazyanyway, So now man, I'm telling
you it's it's an interesting time.Like I the the only reason, like
you said, Giants fan, ifyou're just excited about watching your opponents kind
of crumble, you're gonna have afun year if you If you want to
actually enjoy this year, Danie Jones, is to play at you know,

(27:03):
like a legit starting quarterback in theNFL. No, you throw this theory
at you, and maybe I shouldhave done this a few minutes ago,
but I enjoyed that cat and fortymillion dollars wide receiver is the second most
important position in the NFL now right, Like you could have made an argument
it's quarterback. I think we bothagree with that, and then somewhere it's
like offensive tackle and pass rusher Botefor the ye I was gonna say,
I'll go defensive end two. Yeah, and they're a defense end. Some

(27:25):
would say corner, but it's hardto do that with schemes like what if
you play zone, what if youplay Manda Mant Corner's tough, but I'm
sure if it's in the top five, we'll give it five what's tough about
Dan and offensive tackle now in twentytwenty four is that because you run the
ball less, that skill set foran offensive tackle is not always being utilized
as best as you can think itcan be. And defensive end compared to
wide receiver, like, who's morelikely to be an impact player for you

(27:48):
at thirty years old, a thirtyyear old defensive end or a thirty year
old wide receivers on the skill set, I'm absolutely right. I would lean
towards wide receiver because you can dosomething different if they lose their speed,
maybe put him in the slot.Defensive end, you gotta hope they can
still rush the pastor and be againstthe run long term, heading towards the

(28:10):
future, an investment, I wouldtake wide receiver. Hm, I don't
know well and there there just happensto be quite a few great edge rushers
right now. Like wide receiver,you've got what four or five that are
next level and then that that's ahuge drop off Tyreek Hill, justin Jefferson,
DeVante Adams, which Adams doesn't wedon't know what his quarterback situation is,

(28:34):
Jamar Chase, if Joe Burrows ishealthy. And then defensive end,
Max Crosby, TJ. Watt,Bosa Bosa and only the one Bosa though
sadly so sorry other Bosa. KhalilMack I would say, I'm still putting
up there. He's pretty nasty stillParsons if you want to account him.
He's really a linebacker d He's likeJosh Allen just got paid in Jacksonville,

(28:57):
so interesting fun I'd pay my quarterbackand then probably nobody else like I just
nobody. You all get nothing.Well, when you're thinking about commitments in
the future, don't forget about Lilyand David Fine Jewelers, the shops at
will and maybe some people this weekare heading to Wilton and at least that
area near Sarah Tolka taking that tripup North. Stop into the shops at
Wilton. Say hello to Alyssa orDavid or Tammy or Gee whoever it might

(29:19):
be saying. I listened to Levaganguys all the time. Now's the opportunity.
I'm celebrating a June wedding or aJune anniversary or maybe a June birthday.
I want to make sure I getsomething for her, and they will
find what you are looking for,whatever that might be. Maybe it's said
new pair of beerings. My wifewas wearing the engagement ring over the weekend
we're celebrating, you know, duringher time at work. She's a physical
therapist. She's not always wearing thering. She doesn't want to scratch the

(29:41):
kids. And I just imagine mypoor wife like accidentally scratched. Lily.
David find Juelis will explain what ringworks best for you in your occupation and
what DIY sing thing Lillian David fineJulier's family. I help you find exactly
how some people might not even knowwhat I was talking about. There,
see stopping a Lily and David findyou, Lisa. They can help you.

(30:02):
They always do. I can't waitto see them. We stop and
telling you heard about my story.Yeah, we have the dump on the
way, Levac, Yes, yes, we do this. Well, yeah,
what if we missed so far today? That's all falls to the next
segment. We call it the Dump, and that's coming up just a second
or two. We're actually probably aboutthree minutes. It is Lavac and Gus
Fox Sports Radio ninety five, nineand nine eighty. It's Lovack and Guz
on the Voice of the Capitol Regionssports Fan Fox Sports ninety five, nine

(30:26):
and nine eighty. Oh, wemad it. We met it to the
to the dump, to the endof the show, so where everything just
kind of falls to that we didn'tget to during the show. It's weird.
I feel like, about twelve hoursago, I was in this room.
Oh wait, I was guys,where were you were you when I
was doing all the sports on wg Y. I was in the shower.

(30:47):
Okay, you were not in theshower that early. I get up.
That's when I get up. Iget up six twenty six thirty,
right in the shower. I gothere, yeah, just after six.
And I put the truck in parkand I hear pop up. I'm like,
what the hell was that? SoI put the truck in reverse,
pop up, put the truck anddrive Papa. I'm like, oh crap,

(31:11):
open the windows. Do it again? Nothing, So I'm like,
what the heck is going on?Going back in, I'm like, what
the hell? Almost perfect timing.The people doing the roof on the bank
next door all like almost perfect timing. Every time I put like changed gears
in the truck, They're like theyfired off a nail gun or something.

(31:34):
Pop up and I'm like at first, I'm like, oh my god,
what am I gonna do? Ican't. I can't go without the truck.
I love your scars out. What'sthe matter, baby? I'm thinking
like, if it's popping on thetransmission, I got problems, like but
it was just it was just perfect, to the point where I wonder if
they were just watching, like watchthis poup Fatty's the nervous now pop up?

(31:56):
Oh he's still doing it? Gothim a god? Yeah? Oh
it was crazy. All right,tell you you've been talking like you got
something to say here, so goahead. I can't believe we waited all
so long to talk about this,because you and I were sort of texting
about this, and by sort oflike you were texting me, and then
I fell asleep trying to watch anillegal stream of the fight. Uh UFC
three oho two questional legality. Let'slet's talk about UFC three oh two a

(32:21):
little bit. You did watch it? Yeah, your thoughts over all in
UFC three oh car, there's agood car, good fights, a lot
of good fights. I Strickling islike the weirdest fighter in the world to
me because he's constant pressure. Buthe doesn't like always knock people out like
you would think somebody who is alwaysconstant pressurely and not like you know John
Bones Jones, where it's like it'schanging position, it's rolling, it's laying

(32:45):
on you, it's doing like likeStrickland's just kind of like he's the terminator.
He just keeps walking forward, kickingand punching like that's what he does.
And uh, Paulo Costa was thewas sweatier than I've ever been and
he's in shape and I'm not.But he didn't finish the fight, which
suck because I had him in aTK or knockout. But you know,

(33:05):
as they say, I also hadhim to win. I had a parlay
with him hoping that there'd be aPoier was gonna be one of the biggest
upstates in combat sports history if he'dwon, which I saw no, no,
no, if Dustin Poorier would butI put him in a parlay with
cost so it didn't work out forme. So you had like a double
There's no way Poorio was in thatfight. No, there was just no

(33:27):
way. Like like that dude's beentraining with with m made Off for free,
Like made Off likes him so much. That he just spends time with
him training him to fight, whichsounds like torture to me. But no,
yeah, you were. You werehoes on that one as much as
UFC three oh two to what yousaid, and I think the internet agreed
with you too, had it endedup being a pretty good card. I

(33:50):
was more fascinated between the connection betweenSean Strickland and what happened on the prelim
especially the end of the prelim fightsbecause of President Donald Trump making an appearance.
And I don't know how now thisis in New Jersey, by the
way. The Potential Center, Ibelieve is where they held the fights.
I saw a lot of people outthere from uh, that's Jersey, pretty
sure Brooklyn. I think the BarclayCenter is Brooklyn. You know, you're

(34:15):
right, You're right. That makessense because I know Aaron Rodgers is there,
the Jersey short guy, Jake Aspen, a frequent guest in our show.
A bunch of people were out there. Man, maybe I wonder if
you and I should have taken theroach trip. Anyways, but what happened
at the end of the PRELIMBS isthat Kid Rock started to play and then
out came President Trump, and theyshowed the whole walk on ESPN Big showed

(34:36):
the handshakes, they showed the depths, they show and then Strickland's on the
card though, so you know whereI'm going with this some people, and
I know where I'm going with this. Strickland, I said this on Friday
Show, is the most controversial borderlineracist, maybe not even borderline. He's
a horrible example of what the UFCshould be. And then it's one of
the two. I think Colby Covingtonis not as bad as Circle because Covington's

(34:59):
doing for attention. This is Strickland. Yes, like if Strickland was a
construction worker, this is what hewould be saying the same things on site
with a hammer in his hand.If you're not a fan of President Trump,
and then you get that sandwich witha Strickland fight, you're giving it.
Let's say the opposition, Ammo.Let's say if President Trump is trying
to campaign and I obviously we knowwhat's happened over last week, and then

(35:22):
you say, oh, here comesStrickland. I just wondered what the end
of that result was gonna be ifthey see if people were gonna weaponize the
end of the UFC and Dana Whitewalks out with there was a lot to
what was going on pre limbs beforethe pay per view of the fight.
So the thing, all right,it wasn't just Strickland, it was everybody.

(35:44):
Kevin Holland looked amazing by the way, great armbar dude broke the dude's
arm because he wouldn't quit. Can'tremember the other guy's name because I just
kept call him stupid, like youwere clearly lost, and then you made
and like you hear you hear KevinHolland go, I'm gonna break it,
and he's like, I know I'mnot. I'm not quinn. All right
there, you know now you don'thave an arm? How do you feel
now? But he he happens tobe black. He ran out and paid

(36:08):
respects to Trump, which like like, like you just said, Strickland,
Kobe Covings and those two dudes likethey're they're they're maga guys, like they're
about Trump. I didn't expect Holland. I didn't. And maybe that's you
know, maybe maybe that's somewhere racistfor me because I was like, wow,
the the black athlete is supporting Trump. But it wasn't. It was

(36:32):
everybody, dude, everybody there wasthere. It was. I'd say there
were probably sixty percent there to seethe fights and forty percent were there to
see like each person, like ifif they didn't see the last fight,
but they got to shake hands withTrump, they would have been fine with
it. And I don't like howmuch of that is. I've always said

(36:52):
this, I would always be thrilledto meet a president, pastor or a
president Like I don't. I'm not. That's just me. Like I was
raised that you invite the White House, you go to the White House,
you pay respect to the office,even if you don't necessarily respect the man
in it. I wonder if someoneit's that now finally, but just days
after like all the you know,being found guilty of thirty was thirty six

(37:14):
or thirty seven? Fell on thirtyfour? Thirty four? I thought it
was thirty I've heard different number everytime I turn around. I thought it
was thirty six, and somebody toldme it's thirty seven. Now you just
told me it's thirty four. Uh. Anyways, somewhere between thirty four and
forty will go away? How aton? Okay? Like too many?

(37:36):
I think it's a weird statement that'sbeing made. It is, let's change
from UFC to let's change from UFCthree to zero two to three oh three.
The breaking news that happened earlier today, the press conference that was scheduled
in Dublin, Ireland featuring Connor McGregorand Michael Chandler has been postponed. Now

(37:58):
Ariel homewanning Let's tip that had creditwhere credits due. He was the first
to have this story, and Helwanaeven went on to say that luckily for
Chandler, he had found out yesterdaythat it was off before he was set
to fly out to Dublin, Ireland. Now, Cordon Ara Holme, why
four, But I'm gonna talk aboutit one hundred down because the're just gonna
keep putting the number. Okay,sorry, go ahead, I do pay
attention on guy. See what's goingon over there somewhere. Well, Watie

(38:20):
has said, again credit to MMAFighting and more, that he is with
one hundred percent certainty that the UFCEEthree oh three press conference was canceled.
Dude was not was not canceled dueto anything out of athletic activities such as
drinking scandals, anything else. Justto remind people, UFC three oh three,

(38:42):
featuring the main event of Connor McGregorand Michael Chandler, is scheduled to
be fought in Nevada, So it'snot like the fight's happening in Dublin.
They're doing it in Dublin to hypeup the fight for the Irish fans who
love McGregor what they're gonna fight inVegas. I don't want to doubt Aria
Homewani. Well, we're coming offthe topic. We just talked about UFC
three or two, and you andI both have uh the Internet on our

(39:02):
phones and we're seeing Cotton right.You are seeing the Cotton McGregor videos of
him, let's say, enjoying thenight life, not exactly looking like he's
prepared, like Creed two or Creedthree or a rocky montage. We believe
what Aril Halwani said there, right, There's no need to fear that Chandler
McGregor might get called off. There'sno need to fear that the hype around

(39:24):
this fight might be questioned because ofsituations like this. This is supposed to
be the fight of the summer.Now that Paul and Tyson around that cotton
McGregor's back. Are you a littleskeptical? I think is the way we'll
phrase it. I'm actually skeptical everyevery card that involves McGregor moving forward.
And I know that comes off likeprobably insulting, but at the same time,

(39:49):
how many millions do you need beforeyou stop letting people punch you in
the head? Like you sold thegin? You so, you sold your
your whiskey, you sold it,you sold it. Whatever you're doing,
all the things, and the wayyou got hurt in the in that that
last fight where you step back inyour leg breaks like that, that's the
scariest thing to me. I thinkI could I could wrap my brain around

(40:12):
like someone checks my kick and myshin breaks on their shin or something like
that. I could wrap my brainaround that, like okay, that makes
sense, But stepping backwards and havingit break like that, I don't know
if I could handle that like that. I don't know if I'd be able
to step back ever again. LikeI would never ballroom dance again or ever
because I've never done it, butI just there's something about it. Now

(40:35):
you're a movie star, like whywhy why do it? Why keep fighting?
If we could wager on things,then you can't wager on like do
you think the Dublin Ireland press conferencewill get canceled? I would have taken
yes, and I would have cashedon that bet. Do you think there's
gonna be some more storylines involving potentiallythe health of Connor McGregor before they get
to the end of June? Yes, Can I wager on that? Do

(40:55):
I think this flight could be rescheduledor delayed? Because we've seen has McGregor
fights sometimes because of him, sometimesnot because of him, be delayed and
that's more about the making of thefight or all though was injured at one
point. Yes, and I wouldbet against all these things because we've seen
the history of this happen and nowwe have video evidence of Cotton McGregor,

(41:16):
I don't know, uh, goinga little crazy, making sure his nasal
cavity works a bit. I don'teven know what way he's walking around at.
He doesn't look like the wild CottonMcGregor from the late twenty ten So
fight fans, you could celebrate thesuccess of UFC three to ZHO two,
but about the feels like the fifthtime in the last year a card that

(41:37):
I thought would underperform overperformed. Butnow the focus is on three to OHO
three with Paul and Tyson out ofthe way, with Fury out of the
way. This is supposed to beyour moment. And then this was the
story online today and on Monday.Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't bode
well, it doesn't, and hey, look it is I believe the saying
this is is what it is.I I think he fights right at some

(42:02):
point his pride just gets in theway and he goes ahead and does it.
What do you mean like the fightwill eventually happen, right? Oh,
so you're already on my you're alreadycast you with me here and telling
me though you think it's gonna getpushed off at you and eventually he'll fight
again, and then that'll be thecareer. I don't know if it gets
pushed off or not, but let'ssay it does. Is that it?
Because I really think the thing aboutMichael Chandler, the reason that if I'm

(42:28):
McGregor, there's okay, if I'mMcGregor, I take the fight because Chandler's
knowing to come out in a flurryin the very beginning, and if there
was If I'm gonna win that fight, it's gonna be layding a shot that
puts him down in the in thefirst minute forty five seconds. The reason
I don't take that fight is Chandler'scoming out of flurry in the first thirty
five forty five seconds and I mightget one on the button and not even

(42:52):
get to the second round because ifthis, if this goes second, third
round, I don't think Conner standsa chance. If I was Condormer,
I would have called it a career. Maybe after the double title win the
Garden in twenty sixteen against Eddie Alvaris. I was there for that fight,
one of the coolest sports moments inmy life. You could have called it
a career if you got a rematchwith kuld be Nermalga madeoff. Now there

(43:15):
was talks the rematch would never happenbecause they hate each other that much.
So you might have tried one morerematch to go one to one and then
force it to a third fight.Because that was the highest selling it still
may hold the record the highest grossingpay per view of all time in UFC
history. Back at two twenty nineand twenty eighteen, you didn't have to
do anything else after that though.You didn't have to. You didn't have
to fight. Basically, what inan empty octagon against poort Yane twenty twenty

(43:39):
one? You lost to him twice? You don't you mentioned the breaking the
lego one like you know what youcould have been done like eight years ago?
How about how about this? Howabout a rematch against Jake Jillenhall.
Connor McGregor reportedly made five and ahalf million dollars for Roadhouse, the highest
ever for a debut actor. I'lltell you what, I can make five

(44:02):
to ten million dollars for fake fightingversus real fighting. Sign me up,
Sign me right up. I'm ready. I'm ready to get Jill and Hall.
I'm calling you out, Dalton.If we had a time machine and
bet in the year twenty twenty,by the time June of twenty four rolled

(44:23):
around, what would Connor mcger havemore fights in the UFC or the WWE.
I would have put a significant amountof money on the WWE, that
you know. But the problem theproblem with that is have you heard Jillenhall
talk about the movie. No,McGregor doesn't always pull his punch. Oh
yeah, he did, mention solike that that works in a movie,

(44:47):
Steck, because Jillen Hall doesn't reallywant to fight you, but solo Socola
might really put a thumb in youreye, like it might really happen.
Oh Man Reger has won two fightsin almost eight years of Levac. Yeah,
I mean two, and there's whatlasted forty seconds of the two ways.

(45:09):
Who would you rather see Connor McGregorfight next, Michael Chandler or one
of the Palls? Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm'm even thinking about
this. Michael Chandler is the answer, but the Palls is it's close.
It's because I think I lean Paul'sbecause I think he can win that fight.

(45:30):
I don't think he can win againunless he lands an early, early
shot that changes the fight against Chandler. Chandler's gonna eat him alive. I
find Connor McGregor the most interesting whenhe is not boxing, and when he's
the madman running around the octagon kindof. His style of mixed martial arts
is far more entertaining than I wasentertained by his boxing performance against may Weather.

(45:52):
That may just be yeah, butstyles and fighting it, but that
was when he was actually doing that. Yes, I don't think that.
I don't think that condomer exists anymore, is what I'm trying to say.
And and and I can't say Iwould blame Connor McGregor for I made What
do you think he made over hiscareer in the UFC twenty million? Third?

(46:12):
Oh yeah, thirty or forty?All right, let's say, let's
just say at thirty, what doyou think he made when he sold Proper
twelve? More? Yeah, probablylike one hundred at least, maybe better
about how much he had in upfront. Then he made five and a half
to go play fight with Jake Jillenhall. Like his he can do whatever he

(46:34):
wants. He probably made the mostmoney he made was probably fighting Mayweather.
The Internet and you can always wonderwhether it's true or not. The Internet
tells me the Conor McGregor's net worthis two hundred million dollars. I bet
you a lot of that came fromMayweather and selling Proper twelve. That's probably
That's probably where the majority of thatmoney came from. Because you know UFC,

(46:55):
your first your first batch of fights, what worth five? You're probably
lucky to make fifty to one hundredgrand a fight and who knows what the
take home on that is, andthen after that a couple of million per
per main event. It's pretty nice. It's I mean, it's not terrible,
but or you can sell liquor andgoing and being movies powder. Gregor's

(47:22):
proper twelve was valid a six hundredmillion dollars when he sold the majority steak
in twenty twenty one. Right,but he that doesn't I don't know mean
he's worth that, right right,Well, it doesn't mean. It doesn't
mean he got the six hundred.Like if you were the financial backer,
you might have got three hundred.Somebody else might have got a piece he
he could have walked out with liketwo hundred clean, maybe three hundred clean.

(47:43):
Because if you only work two hundredmillion and he's told a company for
six hundred mili, that's not good. How's the euro doing now that I'm
trying to do that math, theeuro might as well be bitcoin to me,
I've never seen either. All right, Well, there it is.
That's the that's the dump for tonight. Uh, let's talk about our
good friends over at U SX PastControl. Yeah. Man, we've got

(48:05):
the platinum package each of us thelove. I love the non chemical Exclusion
package. That is the one wherethey come in and it's like a small
construction crew. They just start filling, putting little little metal bumpers at the
bottom of your siding so that theycan sneak into the side of your siding,
filling cracks, crevices, make surenot you can get into your house,
so you don't even have to worryabout keeping it out. It's already

(48:28):
kept out. There are some peoplewho mow their lawns in the summer and
they play the game of what willI find? Yeah, that's me,
start cleaning out the garage, theanecdot what will I find? Maybe,
don't play that game anymore. CallUSX Past Control and say, hey,
can you guys stop over? CanI get an inspection done? I keep
having these issues? Can they actuallyget fixed? You keep putting this stuff
off to the next summer, thenext stump work with experts w cana actually

(48:50):
help your home get safe and clean. USX Past Control could do that,
Lavac, and I know from experience, we don't have to have these conversations
of do we know what's coming nextto you? Said he did, though
in the past used to have theI don't know what's coming next. Oh,
it was terrible. Like when whenthey when when Tim came through for
the free inspection, He's like,I can see where you might have had
an issue here. I know youhad something over here. This didn't happen

(49:10):
a while over here's a bit ofan it. We keep an eye on
this like it makes it. Whenyou do the walkthrough, you go from
being like, oh my god,I hope I don't nothing creepy lives here
to being like I knew it.I knew it. Yeah, I know.
He's up there with like the penknife and he's like squishing the bat
dukie, going m this they livedhere recently. It's like, well,

(49:31):
how do you know? Because thedukie's still dukie ish And I'm just like
I don't want to know any ofthis, but can you make it all
go away? And they go,yes, we can go to usx pest
dot com. Today's schedule that freeinspection back at it live in the GT
