WFAX, Troy wgy, FMHD twoObning W two forty EC opening, Fox
Sports nine eighty ninety five point nine. Fact, It's time for the Top
four four with Levac and Gozo.Time for the four biggest stories in the
world of sports. It's brought youby Bohakanda. But they always got it

(00:24):
the way to please you. Andnow your newsman, Tim goaz Lowski to
the I like that nickname. Mightput that on my Twitter profile newsman.
The New England Patriots have signed runningback Ramandre Stevenson to a four year,
thirty six million dollars deal seventeen milliondollars guaranteed extension, the first time a

(00:51):
player under Derward Mayow has been signed. Looking to develop the team of Levak
a fourth rounder out of Oklahoma backin twenty twenty, less than two thousand
and three ar injured, career rushingyards, less than fifteen touchdowns. I'm
shocked, Like when I think RamadreStevenson and maybe this is I'm gonna answer

(01:11):
my own question. Probably like whatI think about running backs for the Patriots
has never been consistent. If you'rea fantasy football player, you probably have
a rule of don't touch a Patriotrunning back because Bill Belichick would just constantly
have two, three fours of feltlike, five, guys, are you
surprised the Patriots decided to give RomandreStevenson this type of contract. So schefters
reported that this is a trend,right, They're re signing and retaining their

(01:36):
own talent. So it's it's RamondreStevenson this year, four year thirty six,
like you said, Safety Kyle Dugerfour year fifty eight mil. Offensive
tackle Mike and Wanu three years fiftyseven, Hunter Henry the tight end three
years twenty seven, wide receiver KendrickBourne three years nineteen and a half million.

(01:57):
So it's like, I don't know, if they didn't know, maybe
they missed it. Patriots sucked thelast couple of years. So just bringing
back your own dudes, not exactlywhat I would say, like unless you're
like, you know why we suckedBelichick. That's what I find the most
fascinated about the whole thing. It'slike, hey, can we all be
honest Belichick didn't know what he wasdoing with the roster. Listen, when

(02:21):
it comes to coaching twenty four yearolds, that's not as strike datium.
Yeah, great, Golden you gota little lazy, Yeah, Belichick,
I got Brady. I can putit anybody. I'm a genius because they
we keep winning. It doesn't matterhow bad I draft. Who cares what
Kuiper and McShane, everybody who hasa mock draft says, I'm gonna draft
that Western Kentucky player in the firstround. So now the Patriots is an

(02:43):
organization that now has a GM anda coach, not one person doing two
things. Says let's just sign theones that actually work good and let's give
them the contrary. It makes sensebecause if this was the old Patriots,
you'd get to a certain age andwe'd cut them. We can't keep them.
That's an option. They don't haveto just go to twenty nine and
then we have can't We maybe thinkthey're gonna I'm just shocked at Stevenson.

(03:05):
I could run through like twenty runningbacks before I'd be like, you know
what, Romandre Stevenson. Maybe I'llrethink the Patriot offense this season. But
maybe they think he has to bethe focal point of the offense because the
wide receivers aren't good, the quarterbacksinconsistent. This is it? Huh?
Pro've somebody wrong this season. Well, yeah, come on, now,
let's let's take the other side ofthis. What happens if they are actually

(03:28):
really good? Does that tell youthat Belichick sucks and didn't get he lost
it? Just put it out there. Yeah, the Patriots, even though
they're not very good. I'm intriguedby a lot of it, and right
now, on June twentieth, that'sthe game I most likely will wait draw.
On Patriots Week one, we wantto start number three, the Los
Angeles Lakers. If you missed it, Apple, Spotify, the iHeart app.

(03:50):
We open the show with breaking newsthat the Lakers have found their next
head coach. That is j.J. Rennick, the former ESPN NBA
Finals broadcast the host of the popularpodcast The Old Man in the three,
the popular podcast you Hope It's hostedwith Lebron for a couple of weeks that
I don't know the name of JJReddick four year contract to be the next

(04:12):
coach of the Lakers, Levac.I know we talked about about an hour
ago. As your thoughts changed withinthe last sixteen minutes of what you think
about the Reddick hiring. No,I'm excited to watch Old double j cutting
strut his way through the Western Conference. There's how sweet little wrestling? Yeah?
I like that? How you doing? No? I mean again,
we've we've talked about this long enough. We've we've debated whether or not he

(04:33):
deserved the chance of the job.He's he's at least the second choice,
at least, we don't know ifmaybe there was other conversations they're at.
But he's getting a four year deal. Now he gets a chance to prove
that he belongs here. There's nodoubt he knows basketball. Now, does
he know enough to take a Lakersfranchise that looks like it's on the very,

(04:54):
very very close to the precipice ofa rebuild, Get a little more
out of him, get that rebuildquicker? Can he do those things?
Because if he can, will belooking at the next Steve Kerr. Hiring
like this makes me think of what'sthe worst job in sports? You know
we did best job or yesterday inthe week previous, it's not any thing.

(05:14):
Worst job bockstrapwasher. I think probablyvery high on the worst job.
I was going to say assistant NBAhead coach, like the assistant because the
assistants putting in all the work,the assistants doing the Scott In reports.
They're sitting there in the suit theentire game, and then all of a
sudden someone jumps you in the headcoaching spawn. All of a sudden,

(05:35):
someone who didn't put any of thework in gets that gig. Because it
feels like the NBA, it happensmore than any other sport. There was
a time in baseball this happened alot, though. Bet baseball teams are
going for the former jock, theformer athlete who they thought could be a
really good player, was a verygood player, then well maybe it'll be
a good head coach too. Thattrend seems to have died off a little
bit in baseball, but it's reallystrong in the NBA. He didn't coach

(05:57):
the Pelicans and then worked his wayup up to the Lakers, being coached
the Nets straight to the Lakers.What I'm thinking about, like, could
you imagine, like, what arethe great franchise of all time saying all
right, what are we gonna do. We're gonna hire a broadcaster who has
no coaching experience ever to run oneof the most prestigious franchises in American sports.
Yeah, like the Yankees did mH like the Warriors did, like

(06:23):
the Knicks tried to do. No. I again, we're here now.
I want to see how it goes. He knows basketball, he's they're building
a staff. They say it's gonnabe an experienced staff around him. I
will say this, I think it'sinteresting that you don't want the assistant NBA
coach show because every time you talkabout dream jobs, longevity is involved and

(06:44):
also other stuff. You know who, They don't chant to have fired the
assistant coach. They rarely chant tohave that guy fired. You know what,
maybe it's not so bad. Ifa guess maybe that's tough, right
yeah, backup quarterback behind that youknow, uh, Brett Farv or paid
Manue, that would be good.Never they never take it out. They
eventually gotta get on the field.Though. Maybe assistant coach could just have

(07:08):
that same braining, right Hey,I you know, if it was me,
thing could have been different. Let'smove on to story number two we've
got after in Baseball Action. Itis game three of three in the series
between the Baltimore Ores and New YorkYankees. It's been about as close as
you can get in these first twogames, Orioles winn X ratings. Yesterday
Tuesday, the Yankees win. Herewe go the rubber match Game three Yankees.

(07:31):
Ohs Levac, I told you thatRice was gonna be the impact player
of this series. That seems tonot have been the case. We thought
that Garrett Cole pitched well enough forthe Yankees to get a victory. That
wasn't the case either. It's beenmore of the role guys for both teams.
If we did a power rankings ofYankees and Orioles, the lower portion
of the power ranking maybe has beensurprisingly the contributors for these teams. That,

(07:55):
yeah, that would be the casefor the last two games. But
it's judgment, Baby, you hithim, he's back. Judge's gonna hit
the ball all the park, homerun Aaron Judge calling it luis heal and
do his job. Everything's gona befine. Can't steal a base if you're
not on the basis. Okay,Yankees win. The Yankees win. Well,

(08:18):
excuse, let's remind everybody what whatBaltimore really is. Where the doormat?
Was that an early play of theday. It was not not a
play of the day. And bythe way, the first pitch double for
the ore. Come on, firstpitch, first pitch, gotta hit some

(08:39):
one over, just just over.Soto misplayed it just over his head,
only the second time in the historyof this show. They can go back
and check. I believe I didthis in March as well. We're in
the top four to four. Youhave four stories you have to do.
And then I miscounted that I jumpedright for story three. So I went
three to one right, and thethree stories I'll give you Vermandre Stevenson,

(09:03):
the Lakers hiring and Orioles and Yankeesstory number four that was supposed to be
number four, that's now stepped intothe one spot. The NCAA has presented
a plan for Division ones and men'scollege basketball tournament to expand that's right,
March Badness, that no longer thefield of sixty eight. Potentially of the
field could be the field of seventytwo or the field of seventy six.

(09:26):
There's been talks of this plan.According to Yaho Sports, may not take
into effect until at least four tofive years from now, where the conversation
is already beginning. And that wassupposed to be story number four. I
got so excited about that stupid OrmandreStevenson take that I jumped the gun Levac.
We could do that now, wecould do that coming up. I
feel like we got to give loveto the Mets. I don't want to
forget the Mets, eve though they'renot playing today. You want to offer

(09:48):
up a march madness, take it. We dive into a Mets conversation.
Uh, we all knew what wasgonna happen. Sooner or later, there'll
be more more teams added. Cannotwait for the field of two thousand and
five. No, not the year. That's how many teams will be in
the tournament very soon. I've acceptthat it's gonna happen. Yeah, these
are these things in sports where itconstantly is constantly rumbling, like if I

(10:09):
could make more money, how doI do? What if I could make
more money, Just expand, justexpand. People think I'm getting fat.
I'm expanding the NBA, Major LeagueBaseball, the NFL, college football.
Everybody's done it. Everybody's doing it. We're all expanding and making more money.

(10:30):

It's so control And now I wantyou to say it a certain way.
Deciding who comes to the party whodoesn't. I'll tell you what I would
have told you at the party.It's like when your wedding. It's like,
I'm gonna invite you to the wedding, but I don't want you to
speak. I don't want to sayanything to anyone. Stay away from everyone.
That's just a big embarrassment to you. No, that's not what it
is. That's all right, that'swhat I'll have a story that will make
you feel better. I have astory that makes you feel better. Tell

(22:21):
me. I was in the carwith my oldest Wrex, who will be
his birthday this weekend. What doesyour dad do for a living? And
he said, you talked to Levac, and that nice. That's a nice
thing. He's aware of you,he knows of you, he knows you
and I work together. You're onlyentertaining when you talk to me. That's
not what he said. What hesaid, he probably said, you only

(22:44):
talk to Levac. So why wouldn'tyou invite him to our At least invite
him like a courtesy invite, atleast tell him the party is there.
I'm very concerned about this party thisweekend. I'm very concerned. Maybe you
could offer me some advice here,sure, let me fix the problem that
I'm not a part of. Whatadvice do you need? Hopefully my wife's
not listening right now. So herparents are split, her parents are divorced.

(23:07):
They have not been in the sameroom since our wedding. Okay,
so six years. Allegedly they're goingto be there together in the same spot
for the first time in six years. That is concerning to me. Does
that help for the pitch of whywhy it's only family? No? Yeah,
it's it's I'm sorry I stopped payingattention. What I needed? Advice?

I need advice on a hand.I handle this this weekend in real
time. We've been right there foryou, real time, helping out.

season for the fire We'll talk tocoach about you not being there for that.
Rex isn't How many invitations did Rexsend out? How many invitations did
he send out he as a threeyear old soon before. Physically, he

(24:14):

because here's all the things you sayabout, like, hey, what does
your dad do for a living?You talked to Levac on the radio.

(27:22):
Radio. We do have the playof the day coming up in just a
scout ful of minutes. It's broughtto you by Mohawks Chevrolet together those driving
Blox Chevy where they always go outof their way to please you. Was
talking to uh Andy Golcher for MohawkChevrolet this morning. Oh wow, he's
got a lot of stuff to dowith the kids this weekend. But we're
doing the Make a Wish Walk forWishes on Sunday morning, nine o'clock registration.

(27:48):
Love to see everybody out there.I'm gonna be bringing my boy Spike,
gonna bring uh some of the Firebirdflames with us, and then Nick
and everybody. Your boy Benny Ice, I know you love him. I'll
save that, you know what.I'm gonna save that conversation about the great
Ben Nelson for about an hour fromnow. I almost saved this conversation.
This is like the pre dump.Look Mac, you know, like,

(28:11):
do you have the a short Ihad think just says you brought this up
real quick? Did you hear myappearance this morning on Picks? I did
not. Oh oh, oh gosh, Quinn's prepping for a cold occupy,
so all he was talking about wasthat before. I don't know if we
actually made it on the air,but I remember this a couple of times

(28:33):
I saw movie funny, I wasnervous, Uncle Quinn. So the pre
dump, if you don't hear atfive forty five, it's everything we missed
on the show. So I'm notgoing to miss this, even though even
though we missed this for almost aweek now and never have addressed it on
the air. Trevor Lawrence got anew contract, Trevor Lawrence Monster deal,

(28:57):
thirty eight million dollars signing bonus,fifty five million dollars annually, one hundred
and forty two million dollars guaranteed fiveyear contract. Now you and I me
has never gone more back and forthabout a player in any sport in the

(29:17):
history of this show than me wafflingon Trevor Lawrence. I've gone from he's
the greatest college quarterback I've ever seen, and there's an argument to be made
he's the greatest ever. Really havesaid that on the year before too.
Didn't vote him in the top three. My heisman too, He's the greatest
NFL pro prospect of all time beyondAndrew Luck and John Elway To Why isn't
he talked about as a bust to? There's no way that the Jaguars,

(29:41):
after his playoff performance he collapsed lastseason, are gonna give him money to
like you gotta give him money.Now we get the back and forth here
with waffling on Trevor Lawrence Blavac twohundred and seventy five million dollars, two
hundred million dollars guaranteed. I saidone hundred and forty two that was at
the signing. Yeah, that wasguaranteed. YEP. One hundred and forty

(30:03):
two million guaranteed at signing, thesigning bonus, twenty twenty four salary,
twenty twenty five salary, twenty twentysix salary option bonus, twenty nine million
of the twenty twenty seven compensation allguaranteed for pen to papers. And I
know there's a rumor and maybe thisis the way I want to go with
this topic, and we could dowhether or not Trevor Lawrence is worth that.

(30:25):
If the market's dictating something like that, I think that's understandable. You're
either gonna pay him that number you'renot gonna pay him less that conversations are.
But have you heard the rumor floatingaround that these reports are saying that
there's talks that they want a secondsalary cap for quarterbacks. I have heard
that lies they liar, liar,pants on fire. No, the coaches,
I mean the owners want that.I'm sure the owners want that because

(30:51):
it's getting ridiculous. It's ridoculous.Some would say, I I like Trevor
Lawrence a lot. Has he earnedthis kind No? Ye? Is he
gonna be better because of Doug Peterson? Sure? But is that a ridiculous
amount? Yeah, it's weird.There's a couple of the contracts out there
that make no sense whatsoever. Heis one of the quarterbacks has turned over

(31:18):
the ball the most in three seasonsof the NFL. He led the NFL
and turnovers last season. Statistically,Trevor Lawrence hasn't been great. I gotta
go back to that quarterback thing thoughfor a second, you mentioned that owners
would probably want that. That isprobably right because owners were rich. We've
done this before that. Imagine ifthere was no salary cap in the NFL
what Jerry Jones would pay Patrick MahomesIt would be sickening if Patrick Mahomes' Contract's

(31:41):
already ridiculous for Kansas City, butimagine what Jerry Jones would give Patrick Mahomes.
That's such a lie though. Iwill be shocked if that dig ever
comes where we have a salary capfor quarterbacks and a salary cap for everybody
else because probably, you know,not even an owner leaked that story.
You know who leaked that the ageingof a quarterback. Hey, my guy's
making two hundred million. How doI get more? What if we just

(32:04):
like only wrap quarterbacks and they havetheir own thing. What if we didn't
get rid of the salary cap,which just made our own salary. This
is an agent going beyond greedy tofind waits in which they could find more
money for the clients. That's whatthat report is. This will never happen.
Ever, if people think that's goingto happen, I need to have
a serious conversation with you, becausehere's how you can figure out that problem.

(32:27):
I'm not a businessman. I'm abusinessman. I love that quote so
much, but I'm like, I'mnot one of these financial people that air
on WGY. So there's who youcan get to your financial advice, but
help me with this one. Lookback. If you have an issue with
the amount of money that you're spendingand you feel like you're spending too much
money, maybe and hear me outon this, don't spend that much money

(32:51):
like that would be my theory.Like, oh my gosh, you have
to pay these quarterbacks three hundred millionsof dollars. This is out ray.
You brought this up to me likea month ago. I'm like, everybody's
paying everything for these quarterbacks except RockParty. I guess right, Like Rock
Perty is not getting paid that much. The NFL changed the rookie scale for
quarterbacks. The rookies were getting paidtoo much that everybody could agree with.

(33:14):
But if you don't want to payyour quarterback two hundred million dollars, then
don't I have a story I learnedback in the sixth grade. I'll never
forget this. Okay. Our schoolbully was named Teddy McCluskey. Teddy and
Teddy Actually no, he was terrible. I was gonna say, you wasn't
that bad, but but Teddy gotalong with some kids. But Teddy had
this great quote. He's constantly suspended, constantly getting in fights, And there

(33:36):
was Teddy McCluskey in the back ofthe class, and Missus Moriarty, our
sixth grade math teacher, said,well we've got math homemark. Oh no,
come on, we don't want homework. And Teddy said, you guys
gonna start doing what I'm doing.If you don't want to do the homework,
then don't do it. NFL ownerstake the advice of the sixth grade
idiot named Teddy McCluskey. If youdon't want to pay your quarterback three hundred

(34:00):
million dollars, then don't. Ohwhat was me? Come on, don't
pay him? Do you not haveenough faith you can find somebody else in
the draft. The Jaguars thing thatcan win the Super Bowl? Like you
had them in the Super last year. It looked like a great pick at
eight and three. The fact theydidn't make the playoffs and he got three
hundred million dollars, Like would iteven had mattered? Like what if they

(34:21):
won the Super Bowl? What wouldhis number have been? What if they
had won the AFC? What islike it doesn't even matter. The end
result theo game was getting this contract, no matter what, he let the
league in turnovers. Levac all right, Here's here's the sickening thing. How
about how about this average annual salarybased on your contract quarterback position? How

(34:43):
many quarterbacks are ahead of the guythat everybody freaked out when he signed a
half a billion dollar deal, PatrickMahomes. I would say Patrick Mahomes the
single most valuable player in all theNFL. I would say, the best
quarterback he is with the best coach, most of apple guy, how many

(35:04):
ahead of him? Quarterbacks getting paidahead of them? I don't think,
yeah, the annual Yeah, theannual contract salary, what they'll be making
this year. I would guess it'sLawrence and Burrow. Lawrence and Burrow are
tied for number one, fifty fivemillion apiece average. Remember it doesn't really
break down this way, because youget your base, you get your signing,

(35:24):
you get you this whatever. Thenit's Jared Goff fifty three million.
He just signed this off seas okay, yep. Justin Herbert fifty two point
five million, Lamar Jackson fifty two, Jalen Hurts fifty one, Kyler Murray
forty six, Deshaun Watson forty six, and then at number nine, tied

(35:50):
with Kirk Cousins at forty five milliondollars a year is Patrick Mahomes? Are
there are nine quarterbacks as or morevaluable than Patrick Mahomes the NFL based on
this, nah Now, I wantto like rip about Josh Allen the normal
debate who who's the best quarterback inthe NFL? Mahomes Allen, Allen Mahomes

(36:14):
Burrow like it's nine and eleven whatwe lost? And maybe agents lost this
or teams stopped to understand this isthat point right there. Of Okay,
if Mahomes is the best, that'swhere the bar should be. Why are
you why are you asking it now? Maybe that's just great work by agents.
So I want to, you know, give the agents love. If
you're able to convince a team thatTrevor Lawrence or Jalen Hurts or all the

(36:38):
players love acts listed off are betterthan Matt Patrick Mahomes, you're really good
at your job, Like you figuredit out right, because what should have
happened is that Mahomes and Allen shouldhave and even Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson,
the defending MVP, will get themcredit where credits due. Those guys
should have set the bar and someshould say you're not as good as them.

(36:58):
That's why you're not getting paid morethan them. How that stopped happening?
I don't understand. Maybe agent worksare that good. Maybe it's leverage.
Maybe it's the competition to win.Maybe it's the bragging right for the
press release that they have the highestpace. I don't know what motivates each
in one of these teams, butthat doesn't make any sense in insane to

(37:20):
me, in in insane, incalculable. It's weird that I I gotta go
to John Elway. When John Elwaywanted to sign brock Osweiler with the with
the Broncos, He's like, therehas to be a different pay, Like
I don't want to have to paygood quarterbacks great quarterback money. There should

(37:42):
be something I should be able topay Bronca Oswiler less than Peyton Manny and
brock Osweiler ended up in Houston andthen as we were told, he was
sent to Siberia. Aka was tradedto the Browns and to fight a dude
in a pizza parking lot like itwas. It was. It went from

(38:04):
there, all right. So guy'snot a fan of the Trevor Lawrence deal.
I mean, for me, Ithink he's got a better chance of
earning it with Doug Peterson than heever had with Herbinmeier. So we'll see
what happens. Play of the day, you gotta play. I do another
limited night. Here we are withsome afternoon baseball going on today, with
the Stanley Cup not back until tomorrow, the NBA Finals already done. Left

(38:29):
Coast baseball, Baby, Padres Brewers, first pitch. I want to plus
money play tonight. Yeah, we'regonna do this. This one's probably going
extras. I wanted to take theover, but overs at minus one twenty
five a walk off win. Cansomeone wager on that walk off win by
the Padres but they win by one? I want I won't help me cover.

(38:55):
No, I'm changing my bet rightnow. I'm gonna go with the
Padres plus one and a half.Give me a home run for the walk
off instead plus one and a halfon the run line for the Padres over
the Ruors in a walk off homerun. Let's do that. Play that
if it's the bottom of the ninthor bottom extra innings walk off home run.

(39:16):
All right, so obviously Yankees Oriolesalready happening. I'm not gonna live
bet that, but I am gonnalive bet the Travelers. Uh, sky
Scheffler currently in second place. It'sa shot back. Oh I thought Chris
Berman was gonna be your wager.I saw him smashing the ball over.
The place's large. U. SoI'm getting plus two forty on sky Scheffler

(39:40):
right now. Well, we'll fundmoney on sky Scheffler to win, to
win the Travelers best call for theworld. You know, amazing convict,
Thank you, that's all that's comingout. Good, That's all I want
you to say. So do youunderstood he's a thug, he's a possibly
never he's a criminal, he wasnever convicted of anything. I shouldn't call
him a convict. That's wrong.The man trying to hold him down,

(40:02):
you know, typical, typical rightthere. So I'm gonna ride with him.
I will. I think he's onlya stroked back. But you're getting
good odds because of it. SkyScheffler, take this thing down. But
bad boy of golf, bad boy, all right there it is. They
should play the day brought to youby Mahawk Chevro would like the other drip
of maalk Chevy where they always goout of their way to please you.
