Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's Lovak and guz On, thevoice of the Capitol Regions Sports fan Fox
Sports ninety five, nine and nineeighty. We are here in the GG
Toys studio, or if you wereable to hear me off the area yesterday,
the GD studio as the Yankees.Just you know what you goah,

(00:27):
just go, just say what youwant to say. Baltimore is better.
Sum it up quick, short,sweet, get moving here. Baltimore's better.
Here's what happened in yesterday's game.I told you it was the most
important game of the series. Igot what I didn't. Did I not
say that? I thought, Ohwhat, I'm sorry? Go on,
go on. I said the thirdgame was the most important part of the
series. The third game in aone to one tie series is the most

(00:48):
important. Wow, Okay, I'mbringing it hard, Lavak. On a
Friday, you thought I was gonnatake this day off. I don't take
Fridays off the summer. You peopleare probably hanging out taking a half day.
Guys, brings it on Fridays inthe area. Friday. I had
last Friday off. I also havethe Friday off two weeks from now.
That's besides besides the from then,on I'll spend every Friday at the track.

(01:11):
Those are not a part of thestory right now. The story is
that Baltimore took that game. Baltimorenow leads the season series. Baltimore is
poised to potentially be the ale leastDivision champions, although not yet. A
lot of baseball still left to beplayed. Okay, can I ask you
a real quick question while you're Ihad one more point? BA go ahead?

(01:32):
Okay, sorry, go ahead dothat. I'll land on this Yankee
point because as much as I'd liketo talk about the Orioles for the next
ten minutes, it's not about them. There's more people who listen to the
station because of New York Sports.I think the biggest thing I took away
from the series is the Yankees haveto ask themselves this question. Believe.
The record is forty six and fourteen, the Yankees record against everybody else not
in the American League East. Theydidn't win the series against Baltimore, they

(01:56):
didn't win the series against the Dodgers. Where do they rank as baseball?
Bet? A week and a halfago, I told you they're the best
team in baseball before they got theDodgers series, Before they got the oriole
season. Now we sit here ona Friday after we wonder after how great
they were in May? How manyteams are better? Are the Yankees the
fourth best? Are the Yankees notthe best team in the division. It's
now the first time in a whileyou question are the Yankees the best team

(02:19):
in baseball? Because they look likeit for a while, but they faced
off against the best and they didn'twin either series. Who has the best
record in baseball? I would assumethe Yankees. Yeah, what did Bill
Parcells say? Or what your recordsays? You are? Yeah? Did
so doo not play in that seriesagainst the Dodgers? Right? Did Judge

(02:40):
miss a game in this series andthen hit a home run yesterday? As
called me? Well football, Yeah, yep, okay, all right,
well listen, you know what.Let's let's be like us. Let's let's
overreact and celebrate a June series.Did you know that? Now? The

(03:00):
Baltimore Orioles five to two against theYankees this year, which makes some of
the greatest team on the planet,and they have now gone unbeaten in twenty
two state straight series against the AmericanLeague East. That is a record breaking
streak. Orioles to pass the markset by the Braves in ninety eight.
In two thousand, the Reds didat seventy five and sixty nine through seventy

(03:23):
those streaks right now, I meanthat's right now. You just start a
parade. I would just have IfI was the Orioles, I would have
a parade. I would do itnow. Seventeen runs against the Yankees the
second most runs they've ever scored ina game against the Yankees. They had
eighteen in a win against the Yankeesback in June of eighty six. I
mean, stop the season. There'sno point in playing baseball anymore. The

(03:46):
Orioles have won two series pre AllStar Break. I tell you I'd shut
it down if I was everybody else, I just you know, what,
where's it? Let me hold on? Let me I'm gonna hat this very
empty tissue box. I'd like toget it to you guys in as a
as a holding, like a littlelittle spot that will hold for the World
Series trophy. What's in there,you guys? It's like one tissue,

(04:08):
but this is yours now, andyou just put it on your desk and
one day this will magically become theworld Series Trophy because you won some games
in June. In June, guys, June, not October, not September.
June. Actually, I'll tell youwhat I appreciate you, thank you,
because what you did is you lita fire. I did it.

(04:29):
You lit a fire. The Orioleslit a fire. Now all day I
and it's and I will tell youthis. The only thing, the only
even more annoying than oriole fans tellingme how the Oriols are the greatest team
on the planet is Yankee fan runningaround. This guy's falling, This guy
is faing. Why even play baseball? And have you seen the Giants?

(04:53):
Have you seen the Jets? Can'twait for football? You best record in
baseball, You've had a couple badseries, just film you're right down.
Ah, it's so like it's justlike like I and I get it,
like like we're suppouse to overreact,like that's our job. But oh my
god, like dude, Kenneth's wehaven't even had the All Star break.

(05:15):
Have they even started voting for theAll Star team yet? And everybody's acting
like the season's over. You havefifty one freaking wins. I listen,
the Yankees are one one ceremonial firstpitch from Grimace away from taking this league
away from everybody. That's all.It's gonna take Hamburglar, somebody else that

(05:36):
Ronald Donald. Where the house Barney? I haven't seen Barney in years.
Live you you will be Oh,here comes a heated out the middle.

the way from Australia. Get anupdated child character to help. Uh No,
how dare you we want Pepa?Then you can have Pepa. Listen.

(06:00):
All I've heard is terrible things aboutBaltimore. Have you have you heard
what Patrick Queens been saying? Ohmy god, it's blippy, It's bliitbey.
Uh he's pitching for the Dodgers.It's good because everybody else heard on
that team right now. I don'tknow, man, Tommy Catley, look
good, Judge, look good.There's there's a lot of injuries going on

(06:20):
every the sky is not falling.That is all right. I'm sorry,
this is this has been happening soright before the show, guys had to
take a meeting. So he's inthe other studio. I'm in our studio
and I start hearing this weird sound, and I think it's a bee.

(06:44):
I think the bees. Have youever noticed how the bees like are getting
into the eaves over here those speakersup there, No, on the outside.
I think they've made their way tothe inner wall. They're invading.
Yeah, I'm not kidding. Tillon yesterday's show, Pat McAfee was allegedly
invaded by zombies. He's back onthe air, so to one of my
first radio events I ever remember,was hostly on a rock station getting invaded

(07:09):
by zombies. Do you think thiscan be our moment? The bees are
attacking? No, I like,I'm you think I'm kidding. I can't
see him from this angle. Iwell, it's weird because like when I
start talking like there's they're actually they'rewasps. And I've seen it every day
because the sun hits the side ofthe building. They they one percent are
out there trying to get into thateve and build a nest. I heard

(07:32):
it. I'm sitting here, andat first I thought it was you messing
with me through the speaker because Iwas I was writing some emails and stuff,
and I started hearing like, I'mlike, what the hell? So
I get up, I walk over. I look out the window. There's
nothing else to stop. I comeover. I sit down on quiet for
a little bit. I'm like,what the what the bleep is that I'm

(07:57):
telling you right now? Man,they made their way in. They're in
the inner wall. You're gonna besitting Doug Is. Doug is gonna be
doing the gy News one morning.He's gonna beet hear going. You know,
Democrats are stupid, and all ofa sudden, the wall's gonna fall,
and it's just gonna be bees everywhere. Ah, at least I hope
it happens in the morning. There'sa lot of weekend programming tomorrow on Guy

(08:20):
from seven am to one pm.I'll give Zach Harris the heads up.
I gotta hope that they can't givethrough the inner wall. But man,
it's just it's because I just startedhearing it again. I think they're like,
you know what, you made agood point. Lock. It's only
June. We haven't even made ourway into your studio yet. You can't
you can't call the Major League Baseballseason yet. They're on to us.

(08:43):
It's a long term plan for themgetting rid of the Red Sox. We'll
get both of them, the Oreolefan and the Yankee fin right when they're
not expecting it. I heard they'reoff for a few Fridays moving up to
Thursday. Everybody, the attack iscoming. I'm telling you something's going on
there. At least listen. I'msure sure our engineer will come running in
here and fix it as soon asit happens. What I've literally, I've

(09:03):
just planned my escape route because there'stoo many like monitors and stuff and like
empty tissue boxes. For some reason. It must be maybe maybe somebody's watching
some hawk to of videos in here. All right, I want to I
wanted to do that. At somepoint, we bring it, bring it,
all right, I'm going under.I'm going under. I'm command under

(09:24):
on the bees. Yeah, whenthey break through, I'm going under this
table. I'm commandal crawling and I'mgetting out. Go oath, go oath.
Yeah, you know, and likeall right, So now that I've
done that, Now that I've nowI've brought reality into this, which is
is no place in sports talk.You got it is a hell of a
baseball team. I mean, theOrioles are a hell of a baseball team.

(09:46):
They are playing some of the bestbaseball. You're gonna see right now
that that streak against the American LeagueEast. You know, listen, the
the Torch has officially been passed forthe second best team in the American League
East. Raise to the Orioles.Well, who's got the best record,
Who's who's top of the league.I was so excited. I was like,
Oh, he's got to pass theTorch. I'm like, wait a

(10:07):
second. They won the division lastyear, what's that? And then okay,
there was a second, the second. Every year for years and years,
the Yankees would fight the Red Soxfor the East, or the Red
Sox would fight the h for theEast. Then it was the Orioles for
a minute, then it was theRays for a very long time. The
Blue Jays looked like they were goingto be the one. Now it's the
Os, the oils of the Yankees. You're going to fight it out for

(10:28):
the American League East, and Ithink whoever wins the American League East is
going to be battle tested, readyto go for the for the postseason.
This is the second time this weekI've done a very coaching cliche matchup about
the Yankees. But I really believethese two takes about it, this one
in particular, about what happened withthe Orioles. Like, the Yankees got
some good tests coming up. Theygot Atlanta. That series starts tonight the

(10:52):
hot New York Mets, although it'sa bit cooler than what they were a
week ago. Yes, if weget like two bar the since the show,
she's blown up on TikTok, she'samazing. What if the Yankees can
take anything away from this series isthat they are trailing the season series against
Baltimore. They get the Orioles againin mid July, another big set coming

(11:16):
up there that could potentially look towonder what if it'll look like when it
comes to the second half of theseason. What I'm getting to is,
if Baltimore is leading in that seasonseries or more some more importantly, if
they're leading the division by the timethey matchup again, New York is far
more likely to be active to thedeadline to improve the roster then regardless,
But then Baltimore. But like,okay, so let's say they had a

(11:37):
three game lead over Baltimore, itwould seem as if they'd be less likely
to be aggressive. Maybe it's theYankees They're gonna be aggressed no matter what.
Maybe maybe part maybe, but Ifeel like if you're trailing Baltimore,
you know how much more important thebuy is the advancing of the playoffs is
for that second seed because of howthe wildcards treated in the sixteen playoff.
If you're trailing Baltimore, the Yankeesare far more likely make and move to

(12:00):
improve the roster. Whatever it mightbe, whether it's a bat, whether
it's an arm in the bullpen,whether it's a star that's Cashman's called the
bank. Baltimore has a lot ofpieces in a loaded farm system. Are
they actually gonna be aggressive at thedeadline? Not trade away many with Chatta
like you saw years ago? CorvinBurns is even a surprise. I was
stunned that Corbyn Burns they actually didit and gave him the deal. It

(12:22):
seemed like more likely now than everbefore. The Yankees, well new owners
of exactly well Baltimore. Yes,new ownership Ruvenstinia. But well here's here's
the deal. Though, like therewe can have a cliche off if you
want. If you're not getting better, getting worse, that's than the Yankees
mantra for a hundred years. Heain't living you're dying. But if you're

(12:43):
if you don't add to this team, especially with how banged up they've become,
I mean, I gotta be perfectlyhonest with you. I'm not at
uncomfortable with our closer situation. Likehe he goes, he goes him against
lesser teams, but he also seemsto get beat up pretty bad from time
to time. And like there's noresting Yankees. We'll talk about the series

(13:05):
coming up. You got Atlanta,like that's I guess that's My only hope
to shut you up is if theYankees take two or three from Atlanta this
weekend. But if the Yankees take, like lose this series, oh my
god, god, it's gonna comein here on Monday and be like I
have proclaimed it. The Yankees onlybeat bad opponents. They can unbeat the
Dodgers, the Orioles, all thebribes, and that is well. I

(13:28):
know that they are not that good. Why are you talking to English acts,
Gus pepping that pig? Have younot listened to Friday's segments. You're
gonna be uptaining. You will beunbearable if the Yankees don't win the series
against the Braves this weekend you willbe absolutely unbearable. And listen one more,
one more little kudos to your Orioles. You did it without your two
best pictures. It was not yourbest arters, it was it was the

(13:52):
back end of the rotation. Wewasted a game with Garrett Cole. You
did you know you did cheat andhit Judge in the hand. I mean
that's Hane jumped in front of thesportsmanship. It's the replay. But who's
the announcers now on the radio forthe Orioles. It used to be Kevin
Brown, but they rotate Kevin Brown. This guy, whoever it is now
is a hater, like he's ahate like if you go look it up,

(14:16):
if you listen to it's I heardit on AX. He when when
the Yankees hit Henderson and he camearound the score, he just mocked the
hell out of the Yankees. Hejust, oh, that was good,
you made a point and you gavehim a run. Idiot, Like it
was not he was the idiots,but it felt like that was the tone
of it. And then he wasjust having so much fun with the beating

(14:39):
yesterday like it's and again, I'mI'm a fan of you know, be
a fan of your team. Whenyou're on that broadcast. You're paid by
the team. You should be afan of the team. But I'm gonna
like, I can't wait to hithis voice when you guys fall short and
the Yankees go farther, it's gonnabe so good. Yeah, the shame
on them, right, that commentyou're talking about from that broadcast. I

(15:00):
don't know how many people want usto dive to. Brett Hollander was the
one. I was right, itwas Kevin, but it was Brett Hollander,
who was also a part of theJim Palmer was out with Covid during
the I would never say that,No, it does. That's just not
his style. He's he's too professional. Unless his contracts coming up. He's
like, you know what, kindof just kiss him up. This is
up to him a little bit.Just don't read those graphics they put up.

(15:20):
I'll be in good spot, right, but you can now now they're
good. I was shocked he cameback. I told you last summer.
I'm like, I don't think hewants to deal with that nonsense. Well,
yeah, it's not. It's notthe same people anymore though, right,
So quabe better? All right?Well, that was that series sucked.
That was no fun at all.Hopefully, hopefully they take out the
braves and we can We'll look atthat coming up. But right now,

(15:41):
something that doesn't suck at all ismy great friend's over at Mohawk Chevrolet.

(16:49):
I want to do it a little. I want We got some tabloid type
stuff coming up. We got thattea huh little tablet. Yeah, we're
gonna we're gon We're gonna spill sometea coming up next. Levac guys,
Fox Sports Radio ninety five. It'sLavac and Godz on ninety five nine Fox
Sports Radio. Uh, Brian Dable, you little stud, you little you

(17:14):
stud. Have you seen the latestpictures of the table looking good. Yeah.
So they had their uh their Giantsone hundred a night with Legends at
Massive Square Garden where they were,you know, celebrating one hundred years of
the Giants and all that stuff.And he shows up with the missus,
missus Ekstellar by the way, ButBrian Dable is half the man. He
used to be. He has lostsignificant weight. He looked good. He

(17:38):
was sugarcoated when he got here andnow he just a sugar daddy. What's
up? I don't want to sayhe hasn't lost Wayne, I haven't.
But before I look at this photo, because I have not. Is he
wearing all black? No? No, no, no no, wear a
white shirt, light blue blazer,khaki type pants. If you go look,

(17:59):
I all right, where's I puta link in the rundown? I
got it? Well, he's lookinggreat. And if you if you scroll
far enough down, but before andafter I see her looking back. Yeah.
So they've got a picture from Junesixth of this year where he looks
good, and they got a picturefrom from Christmas Day twenty three where he
might be Santa That. Maybe that'sit. Maybe he is Santa. Maybe

(18:21):
it's a Santa Claus, you know. And as he gets closer to Christmas,
he'll he gets fluffy and then getsready to go to liver presence.
He looks great. He looks like, uh, coaching, coaching is stressful.
Another yeah, another cliche here openinghour of the Friday Show in the
summer. But he looks good,like what do you think it was.
Do you think he got the olduh the old zimps? Is that what

(18:44):
they're calling down? Do you thinkhe did zimps? They eat help?
Yeah, you think you got thezips? He could do them. I'm
just curious, Like, dude,I told you guys, losing weight I
was. I started doing those shots, and then we changed insurance and the
new insurance wanted me to pay alot more for it, and I was
like, you know what, I'mgonna go ahead and eat a salad.
I'm gonna find a way. Imean, if I paid for the for

(19:06):
it on the new insurance, Iwould definitely lose weight. I wouldn't have
mney eat. But uh, maybethat's what I don't know. Whatever it
is that works, it works.Here's the question that I wonder about sometimes.
Do you take him more seriously nowbecause he looks like he's in shape?
What a fantastic question. I wasactually gonna ask you that same question,
not even kid. I was like, I wonder how you like your
coaches? Do you like your coachesin shape? A little dad, bod

(19:27):
a little hey, I don't havetime to eat healthy. I have time
to break down film. That's whatyou want in your head coach. Do
I think the players respect him morebecause he's in shape. No, I
don't think it is that. Ithink some guys will offer him compliments.
A coach, you're looking good.A coach are putting the work in.
Some coaches who may be out ofshape, whether it be an assistant or
a head coach, you don't havethe excuse of, like where's the gym.

(19:49):
You work out at the gym everyday you can. You can go
to walk down the hall like youcan get your work out and no one's
gonna shame me. You could workout with us. You know we'll spot
you. So sometimes coaches don't havean excuse unless they're breaking down film and
breaking down the offense. So Ithink it has no difference. I know
that's not the nswry you probably wanted. I do find it great when you
have like the Mark Benginos of theworld, remember him for Kansas kind of

(20:11):
looked like the logo of the OrangeBowl Big guy, Well, I mean
Ryan. I didn't mind him.I think it looked like the everyday man
Rex Ryan out there like McCarthy.Any Reid, any Reid, I mean
any Reid is any read is thedefinition of of what I would want and
a head coach if you really thinkabout it. But I did. I
I think there are I think maybenot the players, but like sponsors and

(20:34):
stuff. I think they take himmore seriously if he's in better shape.
Well, all right, think aboutwhen mcadew showed up and we're all like
making fun of him because suit lookedall wrinkling and stupid. I guarantee you
there are people who, whether theymean to or not, are taking him
more seriously right now because he's inbetter shape. Yeah, I guess so.
And the reason I'm like hesitating onlike the sponsorships of what they view

(20:59):
because they'd all be quiet if theywent thirteen and four, you know,
like you can eat as many donutsas you want to. Hear winning Andy
read it's hysterically like if they werelosers, the fat guy whatever. I'm
good for him, good, goodfor Dabel getting it done, losing the
weight. I'm happy for him.Not ready to hunters that follow him yet,
but I'll think about it. ButI just I was curious if you

(21:21):
thought it was important or not theother tabloid story. This is far more
tabloid ish. Have you seen KellyStafford, Matthew Stafford's wife. Oh gosh,
she's back. I do, Ido? I know this story you're
about to talk about. I'm veryfascinating at Tom Goys t m J was
easy at the Jeff Lovak tweet usyour immediate reaction to hearing this story,

(21:44):
because I'm fascinated by this one.So Kelly Stafford, who just just lives
with her foot in her mouth.Remember, not too long ago, she
was on her podcast. She talkedabout how he doesn't relate to the younger
players and stuff like that. He'slike, I do, Everything's fine.
I don't need sweetee, that's good. Don't speak for me. Well,

(22:07):
she was on the Off the Vinepodcast and was talking about their relationship and
said that it wasn't cute at first. She hated him, she loved him
to get him. Kelly began todate his backup quarterback. So a lot

(22:29):
of people have been looking for this, right, But so dates the backup
quarterback at Georgia, who happens tobe Stafford's roommate. He I guess at
some point has seen enough of this, follows her to the car, says
he's not right for you. Whatever. They end up together, they're happily
married, they get a bunch ofkids, all that stuff is there?
Is there anybody who's not a goingall? Right? Who was the backup

(22:52):
quarterback? And b Like, didyou just admit that? Like you were
hooking up with the backup quarterback andyou got promoted like you're a homie hopper?
Is that what you just admitted?There's a lot to this Kelly Stafford
thing. Let me go back alittle bit further back, because the first
time I ever heard of Kelly Staffordand knew of her was when she was
diagnosed with that brain tumor back intwenty nineteen. I don't know how many

(23:15):
people remembered that, but that wasthe first time I remembered Kelly Stafford in
twenty nineteen, where I was like, oh my gosh, Like Matthew Stafford's
while he has a brain tumor,what's gonna happen for the future of Matthew
Stafford Is he's going to step awayfrom football. The tumor was found to
be not cancerous, and she wenton people on magazine and said, I
don't have cancer. I can't believethis got this much public attention, and
it seems like from that moment untilStafford going to Los Angeles that she became

(23:40):
a mix of like a social lightemixed with a podcast host, which this
is a reference the back the secondtime she's been able to break through,
Like it's not easy for radio,television, podcast print for someone who may
have not studied media or journalism oris a non athlete to break through for

(24:00):
sports headlines. So I don't knowwho's doing it Stafford, an agent,
a production company. Good for youfor this the second time getting attention to
that podcast, but not what yousaid, Like, what would you think
the reaction would be? Are youjust like, Hey, my husband's Matthew
Stafford. We got a lot ofmoney. I don't care. I don't

(24:22):
care if you think I homie hoppedor jumped around or went to the court.
I don't care. Guess what Igot the one hundred million dollars quarterback
you didn't. My decision was right. I don't care if you hate on
it. I feel like people knowingthis publicly is probably something you shouldn't see
in a podcast. But maybe youguys are keeping it real. Maybe you're
letting it all hang out, lettingit fly on the Kelly Stafford Show.

(24:45):
So I would not have said thatin a public audience. I think you
know how you're gonna be perceived whenyou do something like that. But maybe
she just flat out doesn't care.Good for her. If she doesn't,
I just couldn't believe that was astory. Today, Kelly Stafford admits gained
with other people to get Matthew staid, Yeah, like that. I don't
feel like that goes away, doesit. Like the girls who are nineteen
twenty, twenty twenty two with thatmindset just all of a sudden wipe it

(25:07):
away when they're in their late twentiesor early thirties. I feel like there's
something that's going on. I don'teven mean to be mean when I have
this in her brain where it's like, uh, this is the way I
act because it gets me stuff.Gosh. Man, Well, and if
you're him, do you want thatout there? I don't. I wouldn't
want that out there. I don'tknow. I know, Like listen,

(25:30):
I've got friends who they dated,they split up, they dated other people,
and then they ran to each otherwhen they were dating other people were
like, no, no, thisis wrong, we need to getting theyve
been together ever since, that kindof stuff, and it's like sweet stories,
but like it's just something. Maybeit's because he never says anything that
it feels weird that she says everything, Like like he's trying to have this

(25:53):
quiet life of an NFL super bowlingquarterback and she's out here going, uh,
just see you guys know, Matt'sold. He's old. He's old
everybody. And I did some Icompletely played him. I played him in
college like he he might be ableto read a defense, but he couldn't

(26:15):
read this. I got him.And now, like Detroit, Detroit has
taken this a step farther. Yes, Uh, they believe that the backup
in question is one Joe Cox,and they want to have like Cox celebrations
whenever whenever Stafford's around, to tryand throw him off his game now because

(26:37):
they believe that that is the backupquarterback in question, who may have also
dated Kelly. You have to getto the bottom of this. Somebody has
to start doing some digging. Ishe the one? Is Joe Cox?
The one that Kelly Stafford was dating. I would assume it is. If
the research can't be that hard findthe Georgia roster start piecing two and two

(26:59):
together. Someone fit out who wasrooming with who? It probably is him,
you know now thinking about the storydeeper. So obviously Stafford plays in
Los Angeles, and the story isprobably more popular on the West Coast today.
I wonder if this is like thestories that football fans in California love
because of how you set this upgoing into the segment of it is more
tabloidy, It is more TMZ Hollywood. You know, like if this was

(27:22):
we'll use Detroit again, right,Like, if it was Detroit and you
want to talk about football, you'dprobably talk about depressed fans. This is
our moment, this is our year. We're cursed, we can't break through.
Like that would probably be the toneof a Detroit radio show. New
York, I mean, we justdid kind of it. In the first
segment, Biery takes about what's goingwrong with the New York team? How
could it get fixed? What needsto Maybe California still doesn't know how to

(27:45):
talk football, Like maybe the Californiasports fan went so long without football.
They're like, how do you thinkpeople are going to react to this story
about Stafford hooking up with the backupquarter Ooh, like a Kardashian Ooh,
like a celebrity that's going out Californiafail. I'm not saying I don't like
it, but seriously that this islike the fifth time we've got like a

(28:06):
Kelly Stafford story. We had JalenRamsey buying a house. I remember that
was out there, Sean McVay,will he stay or will he go?
Tune in next time for the dramathat is the l A rams like it
turns into a reality show soap operafor West coach Harbaugh. Oh, I
even mentioned Jim Harbaugh. My gosh, I'm seeing all these like subliminal messages

(28:30):
and fake group chats and like hisfive friends were the ones who sound like
an episode of Entourage. He wasdoing like maybe this is California football.
How they like to talk about itrather than x's and o's, who's cheating
on who? And who's in themass text? Uh it's I mean,
listen, if if there's a realHousewives of of the NFL, she's got

(28:51):
to be the lead character. She'sgot to be and I guarantee she runs
for it. I just I again, I cringe. I cringe for Matthew
Stafford there's no way. There's noway he wanted this. There's no oh
a way. Matthew Stafford's out therejust so on you know, I really
hope you tell the story about howyou used to hook up with with Joe,
my backup. I really hope youtell that story and that I finally
couldn't take it any more and Ifollowed you to your car. I would

(29:12):
love if you'd tell the story ofbecause the narrative could easily be spun too.
I stole you away from my backupquarterback. I would love that if
you could just put that out there, I would appreciate it, sweetie.
Thanks, I'll see you at dinnerrapid fire. These four yes or no.
If you want to sit on one, you can here. Matthew Stafford
Hall of Famer man yes, PhilipRivers yes, but less Eli definitely.

(29:44):
Matt Ryan No, those are tough, right. Those are all four of
those. Like, I wanted tomake sure I did it in that order
too, because Stafford's on year sixteencoming up. Yardage Stat's why super Rivers
doesn't have once. So if you'regonna do the stat thing, then Stafford
has to be. Matt Ryan's gotan MVP. Eli does it. Matt

(30:07):
Ryan almost had a Super Bowl,so that'd be a lock if he did.
Would Julio Jones have been a Hallof Famer if that felt there's a
lot that's moving with those four quarterbacks, that's even all tied up. I
didn't mention cam Newton, Cam Newton'ssomewhere in that discussion do with all five?
You know what? I know,Eli and phild Rivers are a lot
older, But maybe the better discussionwould have been Matt Ryan, Cam Newton,
Matthew Stafford of how many of thoseguys are Hall of Famers? I

(30:27):
like, I like that Rivers andEli were in there because I'm trying to
do the whole Can you tell thestory without them? And and Rivers was
so good for so long even thoughhe didn't win one. I kind of
give it to him, right,Like, I kind of, But I

(30:48):
but I'm if you told me hewasn't, I wouldn't be like, no,
I want to fight and I'll dieon this hill. No, I
wouldn't. It wouldn't happen. ButEli, like, how do you tell
the story? Because you like whenyou talk about the dynasty of the Patriots,
there's there's one dude that was likepure kryptonite to him. I know
the Eagles got the w at onepoint, but like, here comes Eli

(31:08):
Manning again, we just lost,like whatever. Like and I know the
defensive fraud, there's a lot toit. But his two Super Bowls I
think gives him the not Elia's notonly going in the Hall of Fame.
He's going to go in the firstballot. It's because of the Super Bowls,
because of the career yards, becauseof the career touchdowns. And I
know this shouldn't play a factor forsome NFL fans, they might think that's
not really football. The fact thathe wont to Man of the Year award

(31:32):
plays a huge part in the resumebuilding of a Hall of Fame career.
So I know a lot of peoplewhen we talk about Hall of Fames of
were they a great and a certainmoment rather than being above average for longevity.
That's one of the best discussions aboutit. But Stafford's right there,
like I think he took I'm strugglingwith the Stafford discussion now of whether or
not he's a Hall of Famer andwhy his wife wanted people to know about

(31:55):
that. Yeah, it's a weirdit's a weird one. It's just weird,
absolutely weird. All right, isLevac guys Fox Sports Radio ninety five
to nine and nine eighty and Vack, I have a story to tell you
do about our friends over at USXPast Control. Can you get them over
here? For these bees get inSo every time I yell, they fly
away. They're that close. AndI'll have two sister in laws staying with

(32:19):
me. Now that one's staying forthe weekend, one is eventually, I
think going to leave. And shewas watching the West the Youngest today and
all of a sudden she writes tome, who's at the door. I
was like, Oh, I forgotto tell you USX Past Control is coming
over today. They're making sure everything'sgood. They have the said it was
time to check up on the ticksand the mosquitos. They have the party
this weekend. They want to makesure everything was good. But my sister

(32:40):
in law, like my wife andmaybe other people are like this. They
see someone at the door, theydon't get the door. They ask somebody
else who else is at the goingto the door? USX baske Control is
great. They're making sure the weekend'sgonna be safe. Your home is gonna
be safe. Yes, I shouldhave given you a heads up that they
were gonna be arriving from eleven toone today because you were there to let
them in rather than you, Idon't know, hiding behind a couch.

(33:01):
Who is it? I don't orderpizza USX pest hear thank you for being
professionals today and checking out my home. Well, the cool thing I get
is a lot of times nobody's homeat my house when they come through,
and it's and I'm more I'm mostconcerned about the outside because again I had
the non chemical exclusion package. It'sa lot more difficult for things to get
in, so I want to makesure that you do the outside. But

(33:22):
they'll hit me up. They'll like, hey, you know, it's been
X amount of times since we've beenable to get in there. Is there
a good time on the next visitso that you can make sure you're home
and we can we can go aheadand make sure we do okay. Like
that's the kind of attention to detailthat I love because I won't think about
it. I won't think about ituntil something finds its way into my house
and I'll be like, but butno, USX is great to work with.

(33:45):
I really hope that this building workswith them. You can you can
start your journey with USX like wedid for free. Go to usxpest dot
com, schedule that free inspection andhave that great service and great visit that
we also get. I I don'teven want to do it, but I'm

(34:06):
apparently we have started a media beefI think with who I think it is.
I think, listen, we're notI don't think we're gonna say the
name anymore because I think somebody's cloudchasing and using us to do it.
But we'll cover it real quick.Coming up next, it is Lavak and
gods Fox Sports Radio ninety five nine, nine eighty. It's Lavak and Godz
on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio. Oh, man's interesting stuff you just

(34:34):
played there. Yeah, So itis that tough part because I do feel
I think it's funny. I'll gohere. So. Yes, I am
the team president of the Albany Firebirds. My name is Jeff Lovac, and
I I've been in this game fora long time, but to I've noticed

(35:01):
that most of these, like thesesites that focus on our arena football and
it's not just the Arena Football League, and there's plenty of There's plenty of
shots to be taken at the ArenaFootball League this year. We've seen them
all, but a lot of themwill focus on the negative, like if
somebody gets cut, they're all overthat. They don't not so much when
somebody gets signed or whatever, andif a team goes through some turmoil,

(35:23):
they're all over that. Like lastyear, I said this very clearly.
I was on every single major newsoutlet because of Antonio Brown sinking the Albany
Empire. This year, as wehave been the Firebirds with our local owners,
with our with Damon Ware, withgreat roster seven and one right now.

(35:44):
Michael Kelly from the Times Union hasbeen consistent. A couple of places
have been pretty consistent, but Ihaven't been. Like Yahoo Sports has not
hit me up, TMZ has nothit me up, ESPN has not hit
me up, like you know whatever, Fox, Big Fox hasn't hit me
up. But like certain arena sitesare all over and they got very they

(36:05):
get very upset. I don't wantto say the guy's name anymore because he's
taking shots at us now. Soyou you start this, I'll you decide
whether we say this guy's name.Yeah, I mean, if you listen
to the show I say, youknow, I'll own it because I said
I talk about Anthony Carter from ArenaInsider. I don't back down from my
point. Like, I know it'sblowing up all over social media. I

(36:27):
think it's like chat rooms and Twitterand podcasts and the sound is being shared.
I haven't. I don't feel differentabout it on a Friday than it
did on Tuesday Wednesday. I don'tremember what I said it right now,
you do I do? All right? All right, I'll let you go
ahead, no first, and thenI'll I'll tell you why I feel different.
Not to sound like an old man, but I've done this job sports

(36:47):
talk radio for base my entire adultlife. I've gotten to a point where
it's like, if I'm going tosay something into the microphone, I actually
do believe it. I know somepeople are like, no, you don't
know. I do, Like Ireally like I'm confident enough in my opinions
that I'm ever gonna share it intoa microphone. I'm gonna feel good about
it. I feel very confident inthat take. Does he feel like I
may have been unfair. He hasan opinion, he has a microphone,

(37:08):
he has outlets, he can sharewhatever he wants. I'm sure if it
was someone else's work, like he'sdoing it for himself and he's working for
his life, he would be alittle bit more sensitive. Do his work.
Totally get that. You go tohis website, you can see the
content. I saw people saying,look, we wrote one piece about a
coach. Okay, you don't you'renot understanding. I guess during the clip,
he's like, I don't know whogazz is. I was like,

(37:30):
I guess you could google me.You know. I feel like that's like
the Great, the Great comeback intwenty twenty four. Okay, you can
google me. Those guys have neverdone anything in their careers. Okay,
that's fine. That's where I mean. Now you're trying to get a little
personal. And again you can lookat my resume. I've done this long
enough that so I'll just respond tothat part where he was I made sure

(37:51):
yesterday not to make it personal personexactly. One person took it one way
another it is. I didn't sayanything about him personally. But here's why,
here's why I know he's a jokeand and if you want to talk,
it's not very hard to get ahold of me. As a matter
of fact, since you cover theleague that I that I work in,

(38:13):
it's really easy to get a holdof me. Did some tough research,
by the way, figure out howto say your name. I mean,
every podcast like just Zoom Back,like scond sooner. He shared this,
and he and he then he thenwrote, I won't address them further because
there's more going on to focus ongreat journalism. But I'd be damned if
I let beer belly boys with broadcastmics try to discredit me as a journalist.

(38:39):
We didn't try to discredit you asa journalist. We said that you
only write negative things at this point. Hey, you skipped over that first
part though, what the beer belliesright, which again I get it.
That means, but that means wecan't cover. We can't, we can't
do We're not We're not reporters.We're not I'm not a journal so I'm

(39:00):
an entertainer when I do this.But I have We have two New York
State Broadcasters Awards. We have coveredmultiple Super Bowls, We have broken major
news stories. You went viral whenyou talked to Marv Levy and he said
he would like to come back.I went viral when I was the first

(39:22):
media outlet to say the Raiders weregoing to Vegas because I actually had verification
before anybody else. But I digress. We have beer bellies and we're just
broadcasts. Mind you clout chaser overhere, who if you add up his
site, his site's Twitter, hisTwitter, I'm exs or whatever. They
don't have as many followers as mypersonal one does and I barely post.

(39:44):
But you have to say Fox,I'm fighting with Fox. Bro. Come
on, man, Like it didn'thave to be like this. You could
have easily reached out and been like, hey, I don't just write negative
things, or hey it's what's positive. You could have done that and we
could have we could have started adiscourse. But you start throwing insults,

(40:04):
which shows me you're not a journalist. I never heard Dan Rather call somebody
beer belly boys, bro, Like, what are you doing? Like?
What are you doing? We're talkshow hosts, that's what we are.
You just gave me more time totalk about you. So congratulations, your
goal is achieved. Maybe you'll getyou know, maybe your website will get
a thousand followers now, I like, stop it, dude, and everybody

(40:25):
like everybody who we covered it forten years. Okay, well that's cool,
man. I appreciate that everybody goesto arena fan. Come on,
I've for so happers way better forso long. And if you've listened to
this show for a while, evenif you listen just on the Fox side,
you know, I've always dreamed ofthe day where I can have a
media battle. In a battle,I don't want this one pass. This

(40:51):
is not what I hoped for.Nobody in Albany knew who he was before
we did this. You know,often I've tried to take shots at other
people. You know how badly Iwanted your response now, But real journalists
won't do this. How great myRandy Jackson meme was the other day.
That's gonna be a note for me. Dog found you on Twitter. I
thought I was there, and Itook the high road. I said,

(41:13):
I'm not going to say anything personal, and then of course to come back
with I don't know who he is. He has a beer belly. He
has that. I'm like, okay, yeah, guys, you tried not
making it personal, and of coursewhen people can't argue, they go right
with like appearance. Yeah see hedidn't mention the Heisman Trophy voting there.
Sorry, I don't know. Imean again, I don't. I don't.
You listen, you're only the brandmanager of four stations. That's fine,
it's fine. Yeah, And look, this isn't about you. And

(41:36):
I like hypebout ourself. But I'mlike, I'm bummed about it. Like
I would have loved here, truly, seriously, I would have loved They're
like, let's say he covered Orlandoand he created great content and he talked
smack like it would have been youand I having him on the air.
We would have created great content together. I think people in the Capitol region
with local sports and the Firebirds,we could have had a lot of fun
with it. Hey, here's howwe do things here, how you do

(41:58):
things. As long as it's neverperson all, as long as it never
crosses the line, we can allmake money together. And then I made
sure I didn't say anything personal.He did, and now it's not fun
anymore. I can see where hemight have been upset with the whole grimmery
forth thing. And but again,that wasn't to him that was a sight.
It wasn't right gonna get work.No, No, I'm just I'm
just trying to you know, I'mI'm trying. I'm trying to understand it.

(42:22):
But I will, you know,listen, I if you're gonna talk
smack, talk about the content.If you want to talk about me,
be a fat Okay, I don't. I don't know who you are.
I don't know what you look like. I don't care. You know,
it doesn't change when I think ofyou. I think and and like,
oh they excited me? Is theyexcited us as the source? Well?
Yeah, because well you said itdefinitively. And I didn't want to you

(42:49):
know, I don't want to givethe things that I hear in league meetings,
the things that I say in behindthe scene team meetings. I don't.
I'm not gonna do that on theshow because guess what if I do
that, all of a sudden,no one's gonna talk to me in the
league. So you were cited asa source. You should have taken that
as a compliment. I just youthe beer belly, the insults like you

(43:14):
can't pretend you're taking the high road, but go low. So I'm gonna
go over here with my my broadcastawards, with years of a paying for
my beer Belly with money I've madebroadcasting obviously ample and just again, just

(43:34):
if you're gonna cloud chase me betterat it? I guess I'm bummed.
And when he teased into the segment, I'm like, oh, man,
we got a beef. This isgonna be good. And then he ah,
man, well, the beer Bellyboys the not journalists and not what
again, I'm not a journalist,I'm not will he be there at all?
But if all, but he hasthe whole playoff game. I mean,
he covers the league. I'm nothim, and I can talk.

(43:55):
He doesn't. You know, he'snot gonna do that. He's too He's
he said, there's too much goingon to cover the number one seed.
The leaky covers for real, LikeI think somebody'sun be like, oh you
get a beat him up? No? No, like real, Like I'm
gonna like talk with me like thatman, like maybe we missed each other,
like we're supposed to be doing thesame thing. I don't know why
we've gone this way. Oh well, well, there's my first media beef

(44:21):
that I wanted for it and it'snot what I wanted. It didn't.
It never goes. It's Pete Dohertyon retire, Okay, get back out

team do something creative and then gosh, we got It's never coming, is
it. It's never never come on? Someone, come on, Honorato or

Dog. He's in the afternoons.You shine want to be Higgins? Yeah
