nine. Fact it's Levac and Guzon ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.
Oh yeah, Third Hour Live fromthe GT Toys the studio that's toys with

(00:25):
a Z and I mean, allright, some call it's the best hour.
I think it's a while than theThird Hour. I mean it's possible.
Hhmm. Do we want to talkabout the rumor that's out there?
No, no, okay, we'renot gonna do more. We're not gonna
We're not leaving that for another station. How about how about this theory Lamar

(00:51):
Jackson is going to be the goatgreatest quarterback of all time. That's amazing.
Here, Sometimes you're in my brain. I'm like, I please help
because Lamar Jackson here. Please becauseI saw this story being talked about today
and it got me. It gotme. I'm like, hmmm, no,
I'm not gonna stick around. MaybeI am yes saying that's in classic

(01:11):
tas Levac. Let's have some detailsof this because I think I might believe
some stuff that's been thrown around hereabout the goat well, or perceived to
beg John Harball was questioned about thingshe he clearly does not like the way
people have been talking about his quarterback. Uh so quote, Lamar Jackson is

(01:34):
going to become and be known andbe recognized as the greatest quarterback to ever
play in the history of the NationalFootball League. Okay, that's funny because
like everybody saying. John. Alsosome reporters like Jim Harbaugh said, okay,

(01:56):
well no, no, no,not this time, nothing this one
Johnny harbwall there. So I lovepeople going to war for their guys.
This morning, got called by ourguys Quinning Cantara Picks. They want to
talk about the the Arena Bowl andeverything like that, and I said that,
you know, I said, formy money, Darius Prince is the

(02:21):
greatest receiver in Arena ball history.And they took it as an insult.
To touch on it, Brown said, I don't. That's not how I'm
doing it, just saying for whoI've seen play and in the way that
the game is played right now,I think that there's no one better than
Darius. That's what I said.But you know, some people say,
hey, you're just going to it'sthe president of the team going to war

(02:44):
for his guy. His guy isHardball going to war for his guy.
Is he actually believed that lamar jactuallycould be the greatest of all time?
Can it be both? Because Ifeel like there's a little bit of both
here, because let's do the Dariusprinting right, Darius has one Arena Bowl
championship in twenty seventeen as a memberof the Soul. He's gonna be grief.
I missed on one. I believehe has one, Yeah, lost
nineteen, one seventeen, lost nineteen. And then he has two Na l

(03:08):
championships, yes, and I believeEddie Brown has his one in ninety nine.
And then we go through the statsand talk about the impact of the
league and everything else. So adiscussion can be had, and there's actually
a really good comparison here between Princeand I don't know. I'm just saying
I've seen Darius two things I don'tthink anyone can do. But this is

(03:29):
this is a great thing in sportsthat I don't think people realize we can
still do. So many people arejust so convinced about a point that any
time it's even threatened that the pointmight not be right. People shut down
like, oh, I don't know. I don't think Quinnekitera did that to
like go at you like shut out, I did, okay, But the
point I'm trying to make is like, let's do that goat discussion, right,

(03:50):
Like there are some people who neverget off Lebron and never get off
Jordan, never get off Babe Ruth, never get off Gretzky. They don't
even want to hear the discussion.I'll share Lamar jack the story because this
happened to me on social media.The tweet is still out there. I
was at that game that Lamar Jacksonjumped over Syracuse defenders, and I went
to social media and said, I'venever seen an athlete ever in the history

(04:11):
of then the Carrier Dome be thatgood ever in one game in the history
of the Carrier Dome. And TimReynolds, who covers sports for the Associated
Press, I believe he's coming theOlympics. People give a lot of love
to Shan He's getting in to theNew York State Basketball Hall of Fame quickly
wrote to me, yeah, right, what about Jerry McNamara, And I
wanted to be like, gosh,Jerry McNamara's my favorite athlete. I'm not

(04:32):
gonna argue with you, but likeand I was like, yeah, this
scot doesn't know what he's talking about. He's never probably seen it. It's
like, Lamar was better. People, Mike Vick is my favorite one.
Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson is thegreatest mobile quarterback in the history of college.
But Buddy's far better than Mike Vick. If people hear that, no,
godsh come on Mike Vick, dude, It's like, go look at

(04:54):
Mike Vick's stats, Go look atLamar Jackson's Like they're not even Mike Vick's
not even on the same planet asLamar Jackson. But people don't want to
have the discussion. There is areal possibility that when it's all said and
done for Lamar Jackson, he canhave three MVPs. He's got two,
now three MVPs. One super Bowleventually could happen for the sake of this
conversation, and the Russian stats byLamar Jackson as a quarterback may not even

(05:18):
be close. No one might beable to touch him for yards. Surprisingly
doesn't score as many touchdowns as peoplethink. Jalen hurts Josh Allen waymore so
there could be an argument out thereat one point, but like maybe not
better than Mahomes or Brady, butthe classic. You know, if I
need somebody to be under center tomake a play for me, Lamar Jackson

(05:39):
in the discussion, he might nothave the same amount of Super Bowls as
Brady or the passing yards of Mahomes, but give me a ball snapped by
a center to go make a play, Lamar could be. Do I think
he's gonna be the greatest of alltime? No, but Harbaugh has a
case to be made of how thiscould get to this path. Yeah,
but it doesn't. I mean,the Montana and Brady argument was always rings,

(06:01):
Brady blew them away, and thereisn't. Really It's hard to do
that argument anymore because I've always Iwas always Montana and then Brady Brady won
in my opinion, So Lamar needsto somehow gather eight rings. How many
rings does he need to be inthe sas be? Four? Five?

(06:25):
Does he need rings? Can hejust be like a six time MVP?
Everybody just go why he's a greatquarterback Because much like much like Winston Losses,
the pitchers you can't give them allthe quarterback but I do, like
I do, I look at quarterbacksand I'm like, man, that was
the special year that you know,Trent Dilfer was enough to win it all

(06:47):
with the Ravens. Rich Gannon ledthe Raiders to a super Bowl. They
got barnstormed. But like you kindof have to, He's got to be
in the ring conversation, right,Yes, so you have how many to
be the greatest of all time?To have Harbas's point and had more validity

(07:09):
to it. Probably three, probablythree, you know, Mahomes and have
four. But I hope Harbaugh's takewas I mean, that's that's fair too.
Like right now for the greatest ofall time conversation, Brady Montana and
then it could be Mahomes, Bradshaw, Mahomes. We're not going to put

(07:32):
Peyton in there. Peyton Manning withtwo rings, John John Elway three rings,
loser. I believe he's got Ithink I believe he's got two.
But whatever, Yeah, I thoughtI thought I had three. He played
in like six super Bowls, soit does get confused. He probably should
have three. The Raider fit itprobably felt like, I mean, Jim
Kelly's got all those never mind DrewBrees, Mahomes, Man, Mahomes,

(07:56):
Look at what he's doing. Imean, look what he's doing. I
don't know. I just the rings. You're gonna have to be a part
of it. The fact that Harballis having a discussion. I feel like
what he meant by his point.And maybe he'd still not back down because
he likes backing down at his quarterbacks. He doesn't want to. Is that,
Baltimore? What more do you wantout of this guy? Is it
just he has to win a SuperBowl? Is that it? He won

(08:18):
you an MVP. Our franchise isgreat. We win a ton of games.
He puts a big yardage. Wegave him receivers, we gave him
running backs. All he has beenis he's been good. And you're criticizing
him for what because people have donesince he's got out of college, because
Bill Pollion said he should be awide receiver or running back. Because there
was a time where we went,like two years we didn't know whether to
pay him not. Because we've ranout of contract talk passing talk. All

(08:41):
we've got left for Lamar's super Bowltalk. That's it? Do you guys?
Just need stuff to talk about.Guys. He's one of the greatest
quarterbacks. He could be the greatestquarterback of all time? Can we talk
about anything else? But that's howI would feel frustration wise with Harball.
Maybe he's sick of it that it'slike, gosh, we didn't even start
training camp yet, and you guysare starting on me. A lie,
can't you throw me a lay uphere? At an early press conference,

(09:03):
That's probably why he went nuclear.Is not the right turn, but busted
out the trump card he had hoped. He put all the cards, the
chips to the middle of the table. The Soto Serri thing is is growing,
and I love it. Brian Hoke, who covers the Yankees, Asswan
Soto if the series celebration had somethingto do with him taking thirty seven seconds

(09:26):
to round the bases after his homerun. Sodo quote, I don't know
what Siri was doing. Actually,I just don't know. For me,
I just know hot weather, toughday. Tried to save the Hammies and
make sure I go nice and easy. Lies lie, lie, hire liar

(09:54):
pants on the fire. It's sure, It's only not fire for friction or
how fast he was running thirty sevenseconds around the bases on a home run
trot. Oh, it's amazing,so proud of him, so happy with
him. Ain't O'Connell's being the greatestquarterback of all time? I mean,
I think we all know it,right, he's gonna be awesome. My
buddy's got the It's just in aGiraft lottery this past weekend from my league

(10:16):
back home, and it's a twoquarterback league, and he took like Minshew
as like a flyer, and everyone'slike Minshee or ain't O'Connell, ain't no
Connall or Minshew. I just likegod, I love football. The fact
that its July and I know Vac'swaiting for that answer. The fact that
I'm having a Gardner Minshew conversation inlate July means football is almost here.
I think a Connall takes that job. I really really, I think they

(10:37):
like him. I think they Ithink they like him. I think he's
putting the work in. I thinkit's funny as hell that he gave back
to number four because it wasn't itwas Car's number. He took number twelve,
Stabler's number, Like like, Ijust don't. I think he's trying
to do all the right things.I like him. He's probably the best
thing to ever come out of Purdue. I'll say this about your boys.

(10:58):
Some mere White it was like indifferentabout him. I know you've got it
loose. I don't know if youfollow him on social media? Oh my
gosh, what is he on?What is he taking? He's a monster,
He's a god zeus. Oh mygosh, squat's a building. He's
that dude is not gonna be theflashiest, but he's gonna have some of

(11:20):
the coolest ten fifteen yard runs you'veever seen in your life. This usually
happens to the college player who goesto the pros Tua, Kyler, Murray,
Jalen Hurts a little bit like this. Usually you see the guy who
looks massive in college go to thepro Like, ooh, did he get
smaller? What happened with see wearingdifferent shoulder pants. Zamir White's gonna be
the first player from season to seasonprofession But like, I don't think that's

(11:41):
the same guy, Like, arewe sure this is the same guy who
suited up in twenty twenty three?He looks huge. He is becoming a
lot of people is their favorite fantasyfootball sleeper, even though you said that
two months ago. Watching people geton the Zameir White train for fantasy for
drafts are coming up. We're shotaway, by the way from my Buccaneers
that I love these two stats.That's gonna bust them out probably more.
Through August. Only Christian McCaffrey hadmore touches as a running back last season

(12:05):
than Rashad White, and Rashad Whitetied for second in total carries in the
NFL. That's just Baker Mayfield sucks. Darn it. I beat me,
You beat me to it. Iwas gonna say, boy, that's that's
gonna feed Mayfield haters before feels sogood and yummy. You know what,
The only thing it gives me moreof a boost than that is a nice,
ice cold Sea four. That's theonly thing. Well, a little

(12:28):
explosive manager. You can feel myfriend get a chance to take a big
shot at Baker Mayfield. A shotat Sea four is the only thing that
makes me more more awake Sea forhis taste again. I woke up this
morning, I just opened up thefridge thinking of C four would be there.
I'm like all I want right nowon a Monday's a Sea four.
It's been an odd weekend. Ineed a C four right now to give
me that boost that I need.Hopefully you take our advice and head it
over to Stewart's or Speedway and grabyourself a C four. If you're planning

(12:50):
for that summer vacation, maybe yourschedule's all over the place, maybe you're
not. Whatever it is, youneed that extra boost C four will give
to you and the popsicle flavors tocool you down with so many different taste
that you can have it Stewarts andthe Speedway. Levac and I know we
love Sea four Boston. Shout outto Boston Dan sending us to the tweet
and showing some love to see fourand the Sea four Smart Energy Bank will

(13:11):
challenge roles On. I'm not sureif Quinn can't Tarr mentioned this in your
conversation, but there is a newman a top first place the show bet
hit and Levac is by himself rightnow in first place in the Sorry,
I told you I was gonna doit. I told you, I told
you I was gonna do it.I'm gonna do it, I gonna do
us. I'm gon'na do it.I'm gonna do it. That's what I
do. I said, I'm gonnado it. I do it. So
I'm gonna win. I'm gonna winso much. I'm gonna get it all

(13:33):
done. I just watched kill Tonywith Shane Gillis and Adam Ray. I
saw I saw more of those cutson kill Tony. It was social media
didn't do it justice for how funnyit was. No like but the worst
part is the one line I wantto do is is no the way it
just comes out. No, we'retalking giants, hard knocks. We love

(13:58):
on Max but goodbye. We're talkingabout the giants. They were giants,
actually both of them. Our iheardRadio Music Festival sitting by Capital coming.
It's Avak and Guys on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio flying from the GT
Toys the studio that's Toys with aZ. Feels weird to be here,
Like, it's amazing how just acouple of days can throw off your entire

(14:20):
rhythm. So Wednesday, Thursday,Friday, I was doing all this stuff,
whether it be in Jersey or orwhatever, trying to get everything together,
uh for a Renabowl thirty three.So like today being here ruggle.
It's a bit much. It's abit much. I need a C four
or something. I need, Ineed something. The one, the one

(14:45):
thing that sucked was I won percentwent to bed last Tuesday night? Is
that one? That's what Hard Knocksoff seasons? Yeah, Tuesday night.
I went to bed completely ready tolike just air out Hard Knocks, just
to go in and talk about whatI liked when it like all that stuff,
only to like realize when I wokeup in the morning that wasn't coming
here. So so the off seasonHard Knocks for the New York Football Giants.

(15:11):
You were let our guy Eric fromDeath was share about today and other
people, well he's a Giants fan. Yes, Eric's Giants, I cause
I just I think that if youif you're a Giants fan, I think
you should be loving this offseason.And the show's great. The show is
phenomenal. But think about like,like what we talked about a little bit

(15:31):
today, like Aaron Rodgers is youknow telling us that Mini Camps deceiving.
This is happening, like the Billshad stuff on Digg's leave and now you
know what's gonna happen with Kemp Colemanthere's all these things. You look at
the Giant, there's like, ifit's not for off season, you have
no idea what's going on the Giants, you have no idea because they're so
quiet, they're so buttoned up.There's no storylines coming out. Dale Jones

(15:52):
isn't complaining. He is pulling AaronRodgers stuff. As mentioned, you know
whatever, I should be ready,Are you cleared? I should be fully
ready? Are you cleared? Though? I should be fully ready? But
like, thank God for this becauseotherwise we would know what's going on.
And it's a year after you loseyour best player in Saquon Barkley. You

(16:14):
you bring in a monster defensive player, Brian Burns. You do all these
things and it's quiet. I Ilove that. Like organizations that are quiet
in the offseason are the ones whomake the best noise in the regular season.
Usually don't want to win the superBowl in March, right eleven months
after. Yeah, you could winJuly all day long. Don't mean damn

(16:37):
thing. It would have meant somethingfor me personally and the Holby firebris but
that's different now I'm not It's notabout about me and what I need.
But no, like it's I thinkthere's there's there's gotta be some hope.
I would think coming off of what'sgoing on this offseason and watching that episode,

(16:59):
I think Joe Shane's probably a prettycondescending jerk. Like I think he
probably has that in him, butlike a good gm needs that, right.
Yeah, you know what, fact, That's why I really wanted to
go back to this because this isthe thing in again. You let us
know at they Jeff Levac on Twitterat tom gonstmgos Eazy at wf X ninet
eighty while you were away. Iasked that same question as Zach Boydan who's
a Giants fan, and Brian Marianawho's a Giant fan, and Zach Harris

(17:22):
who's an Eagle fan. And whatI've noticed and with our guys, you
really scraped the bottom of the barrelof feeling for me. Huh. What
I know is from Eric and evenbig Al who's not even a fan.
I'm starting to notice this trend.Everybody views the Giants and Joe Shane totally
different one person to another person toanother person. This is in the world
of like stand up comedy meets music, where nothing's changing, nothing is different

(17:48):
episode to episode. Of the episodespeople are watching i'mous one, two three,
but like people view it completely different. What I'm starting to notice is
that if you're not a Giant fan, you're loving it. You're loving it
because they're like, haha, I'mwatching them screw up. I feel like
they're making the wrong choice. Oh, you should have went with so and
so. I think so and sois better. So non Giant fans seems
to be enjoying themselves. Giant fanseems to me in the spot of I've

(18:11):
got faith. I get to seethe process you're selling me on some of
these guys, and if they're soconfident in these guys, I can be
a part of this conversation of oh, this is why we have to get
better focusing on offensive linemen and everythingelse. Management positions. I didn't realize
this till earlier today. If you'resomeone at your job that works in a
management position, you seem to likeJoe Shane. If you work in sales,

(18:34):
if you work into like administrative work, you're like, that's what you
have to do in that job.You're making decisions. It might seem like
you're heartless. It might seem meyou're too arrogant, but you're confident in
the call that you're making, andthe reason you're making the call is because
of these reasons we're about to layout. I feel like people who work
in management really have responded well toJoe Shane and how he doesn't. Here's

(18:56):
the thing that's bothered me about hardknocks, and to continue to bring this
up and maybe episod for it's gonnamake me rethink this. There's a scene
and I really want to know,like if this has happened with you and
the Firebirds and coach where or mycorner or Andy or Richie or anybody in
this spot. Do you remember thescene when Marra walked in and he said
to Joe Shane, I won't behappy if sakwana and I don't know,

(19:18):
yah? Do you remember what Johann? I know this is a very specific
part of asking. Do you rememberwhat Shane did next? Kind of like
an evil giggle? Yes. Idon't know if it's he got nervous or
he thought he was busting his chops. I know this me personally, and
I can't speak for everybody with theirworking viral. I know if my boss
walked into a room and they said, I don't want this to happen.

(19:42):
My first response would not be tolaugh. And then later what hours later,
according to the edity or forty fiveminutes later in the episode, it
happened. I was waiting for theUndertaker music to hit. I was waiting
for doomsday for Joe Shane. Thatdidn't go that way. That's what rubs
me the wrong way. Now somehave told me, like Mara understands that
Joe Shane has a job to do, so he has to give him that

(20:04):
leeway, that freedom. He can'tbe in his office twenty four to seven.
I just know it rubbed me thewrong way that his first instinct was
to laugh in his boss's face whenhe didn't want something to have happened.
I thought, I actually think youwere I think you were on something when
you said like nervous, because Ithink it's like one of those things like
if you if you kind of watchevery episode right now, there's it's maybe

(20:26):
it's me, maybe I'm wrong.You tell me if you don't agree.
I think it's obvious that Joe Shaneknows he's not keeping Saquon Barkley. I
think he wants to cut that moneyup in other pieces. I think he
wants Dale Jones to prove he's worththe forty plus mil. And the way
to do those two things is tolet Sakon Barkley leave. Like if if

(20:47):
Saquon comes back for a lesser amountof money, okay, fine, we
can figure we can do other things. But if he wants what he wants
that and you watched it, likeRunyon Runyon Junior, the offensive lineman from
Green Bay, that's not gonna getit done. He's another million a year
or this or that or whatever,and he's like, will that get it
done? Yeah, it'll get itdone. Okay, do it. When

(21:10):
they came back and they were like, Saqua's gonna need another like half million
a year. I think it waslike three hundred thousand. It wasn't even
like it was like a half million, three hundred thousand a year. He
was like, well, it's niceknowing you. Like basically, he he
knew all along that was that waswhere he was getting his money back.
And to have your boss come inwhen you've known all along that the way
I can give my boss what hereally wants, which is a winning team,

(21:34):
an improved offensive line. Better weaponson offense on the outside is is
Dale Jones. The real deal isto get rid of the thing that he
just said he can't sleep if withif if we lose it like I would
like, I think there's two waysto approach that. The effective way would
be, uh, sir, youknow, we're gonna do whatever we can

(21:56):
do to keep him as long asit doesn't hurt the roster long term,
and then hope that he goes.Okay, that makes sense and doesn't go
explain how how having a young,formidable back who the fans love hurts our
roster because if that happens, toscrew it to where if he just goes.

(22:17):
I don't know what to say rightnow because I'm completely gonna do the
thing you don't want me to do. Coach who are for the Firrus.
Maybe is never I'm sure in hiscareer he has, but the idea of
the like head coach and GM haveto come together like he's both so he
gets to make a decision. It'snot on whatever you do for a living.
Think about that scene right where it'slike there is probably a lot to

(22:37):
what you're talking about there about howBarkley came to the team like Mara was
a part of the regime. We'llcall it that originally drafted him. Josh
had nothing to do with that.Brian Damall had nothing to do with that.
And we don't have to pinpoint everysingle player, but Daniel Jones is
in that group of not my guy, but you want him. Hey,
that's a you guy, that's ame guy over here. This happens all
the time in sports, more socollege and pro. But it happens in

(23:00):
pro a lot. Hell, ithappens in business all the time. Oh,
the guy you hired is making mistakes. I didn't want him. Let
me bring my guy in. Andif my guy stinks, guess what's gonna
happen to me. Anyway, I'mprobably gonna get fired. But if I'm
gonna go down, I'm gonna godown with my guys. I will.
I will say that. The onethe one of the great things about working

(23:21):
for you know, Mike Corda,Andy Gallacher, which he says that is
this is your budget. Go doyour freaking job, you know what I
mean? Like, if it works, congratulations. If it doesn't, it
may not be your job. Likeit's it's real. It's not It's never
that blunt because they want us allto succeed, and they give us the
tools we need to succeed. There'sthere's not gonna be a time that anybody

(23:41):
looks at him and and goes,wait, why'd you, why'd you?
Why'd you keep this guy while youget rid of this guy for anything more
than curiosity, because again, heobviously knows what he's doing. If that
if we played that game that justhappened Arena Bowl thirty three ten times,
I would expect we'd win it seven. I feel like this is because of

(24:02):
the roster he built. Yes,yeah, yeah, yes, I feel
like this might be apples and oranges, and maybe we didn't have to go
down this road. But you've dealtwith Tom Nass as a head coach,
You've dealt with Damon Ware as ahead coach, and not in the same
setting, Rob Keith as a headcoach. I feel like all three of
those guys built rosters differently in adifferent ways to build those teams, but
they were under different ownership, differentpeople who are decision makers. So a
conversation that Mike Corna or Andy Glcherorigin says, nah hands with Damon Ware

(24:26):
may not be the same conversation that'shad with Tom and As in the past
or Rob Keith in the past.And that's what's also super interesting about the
Giants. That conversation that Mara hadwith Shane might not be how Jerry Jones
does. It might not be DavidTepper the team, I should say,
imagine giggled to Jerry Jones. JerryJones covering and goes, I don't know

(24:47):
if we left, we lost Dak. I don't know. If I could,
I could sleep at night and allof a sudden, you go,
you'd be running from that helicopter he'sgot. He chases bores from like Al
Davis. My gosh, like therewas a jump across the table and punching
the face. But the thing aboutthose guys are their competitors to the point
where I think, if you toldthem, hey, I can spend less

(25:11):
money and build a way better team, They're gonna go for that. They
just will. But Mara is knownhe John Mayers, known as the guy
who is over the top, tooloyal to some of his players, Like
while the Patriots are getting out ayear early instead of a year late,
the Giants are getting out two three, years too late on some of their

(25:32):
players. And it's because of youknow, and that's probably why a lot
of guys would love to work forand play for John Marra. He is
so loyal. It's great, it'samazing, it's great. It's what you
would want the world to be.But let's be honest. If you're a
Giants fan and Eli Manning leaves ayear earlier and you in another super Bowl
by now, you're gonna look backand be like, well, we really

(25:56):
appreciate those two big games out ofEli, but thank god we did what
we did. Like, it's yourfans get upset and overreact right away in
the moment. It's what we do. And that's why the old saying is
if you listen to your fans,you're you're doing to become one, because
if you make the moves because theguy's popular, you're gonna lose your job.

(26:17):
Eventually. The guy's gotta fit whatyou're doing. And I do.
I think you you know, you'veyou've said you think Saquon is gonna have
an amazing year. I think youhave a very good year. I don't
think he's gonna do what you think. I think Christian McCaffrey still outperforms him,
you know, and this is sayingthat both guys are healthy. But
like, I think the Giants willbe better without him because they'll spread those

(26:37):
resources the way they have. You'veimproved what three fests of your offensive line.
You've You've added a solid professional runningback, You've added wide receiver targets,
you've added a premier defensive lineman,while a linebacker a rush player.
Like, they did a lot withthat with the free money they had,

(26:59):
and they continue to get better.So I think the Giants are far better
off than they than they were withBarkley. And that's not because of barkley
skill, it's because of his pricetag. And oh, by the way,
with the exception of the forty nineers, give me another team that's
done well and played in the SuperBowl and been dominant with a lot of
money going to the running back room. Not a lot of examples. I

(27:21):
don't think there is any examples.I can't wait for the start of Wednesday's
show because I know we're gonna leadWednesday show unless it than a wild happens
talking about hard knocks. I'm gonnabe locked in on Tuesday night to watch
all that. I think episode fouris going to be the best one,
and they've been three really good ones. The teases they left for us about
the draft and whether or not BrianDable wants you and Daniels, and the
little breadcrumbs they left us about Drakemay earlier in the season. It might

(27:44):
all be coming an episode four.Yeah, I mean it hasn't. There
hasn't been a bad episode yet,so I have no reason to believe there's
gonna be one starting this week.And and what you said about the Giants
fan thing, I think it's easy. Like I like the Giants are good,
but I'm not technically a Giants fan. That's probably it's probably easier to
digest what's happening with this than thatReceiver show. Like once once, I

(28:08):
almost don't want to watch anymore becauseI'm at the part where DeVonta Adams is
happy and I kind of want toleave it alone. I don't want to
I don't want to keep I don'twant to get to the point where he
looks upset. I don't want thisis the end of the story. I
turned it off, right, Iwent to bet you guys all stop partying,
right the world stops when I goto sleep, right, nothing else
happens. That's all I really wanton of this world. Uh No,

(28:30):
that's I'm I'm excited about the Giantsbecause of that Dale joneses. I think
there's a I think there's a pathforward Dale Jones has a good season.
I don't think it's like a verywide path, but I think he can
have a very good season. Iwant to revisit that. I don't know
if I have enough time for thatin this We got the dump coming up.

(28:51):
We have to revisit that conversation laterthis week. Do you think he
can absorb the information? Brian Dablesis feet, Yes, Yes, I
can. Then I think he canhave a I feel like three season ending
injuries to what he already was beforemakes me doubt that possibility. Aren't you
just a negative Nancy? That's anold saying, something my mother used to
say. Coming up in the dump, maybe I'll be able to teach you

(29:14):
some new sayings. It's possible.But first, guys, please tell me
about that lovely vehicle you got outthere in the parking lot. Look at
that twenty twenty four CRV thanks toMohawk kinda love my ride going across the
Capitol region road trips this summer thanksto the CRV and thanks my friends over
Mohawk Conda. My wife has theOdyssey. She also got a new ride
of twenty twenty four shots to ourguy Brady by the way, worked at
Cama Kenna. He got a newride thanks to Mohawk Conda. So many

(29:37):
great people are stopping and right thereto Glenville to get themselves into a new
ride today, whether it's a twentytwenty four, maybe you've got the EV
prologue thinking about that. So manygreat things are happening with you follow them
across social media where you stop atGlenville and work Greg Johnson or Lindsay Hardon
one of the McKenna's VIP man arounds, John Lucas. So many great people
who you can work with and makesure that your experience you continue to come

(29:59):
back for years to come. That'swhat they do. People you can trust
during the carbon experience. How manypeople do you know in your life just
don't get a new ride because theydon't want to go to their inexperience.
I don't know who trust? Whatdo I do? I don't know?
Uh Mohawkan is the place you wantto go. It's mohawk Kanda where they
always go out of the way toplease you. That's right. Fox Sports
rade ninety It's love Aking Guz onthe Voice of the Capitol Regions Sports Fan

(30:22):
Fox Sports ninety five to nine andnine eighty. Time for the dump.
Everybody's a favorite or least favorite partof the show, no idea, don't
care. Uh, I didn't doa survey. I'm listening. I've been
I've been trying to know a littlesalt, some salt. I got some
salt going on in a minute.But yeah, thanks to everybody who's reached

(30:45):
out, of course and all thatfun stuff. But two things should have
dump on my part here, Okay, One they go hit me with this.
So yesterday I'm relaxing, watching watchingsome shows, catch up on my
stories, if you will, fromthe week because it's very busy, and
all of a sudden, I hearjust this crash bang from the kitchen.

(31:08):
So the kitchen, so my house, there's the door outside, there's like
a staircase like three to five stairsfor a breezeway door downstairs and then door
into the kitchen. So it's likea little hallway where you go if you're
going in the house down to thebasement, you go go through that.
So and I hear my daughter's boyfriendstarts swearing. So I'm like, I

(31:30):
wonder the dog tripped him, trippedup the stairs and went through the door.
Oh, like kool aid man,Oh my gosh, tripped up the
stairs, went through the door.Door is not broken, but the casing
is just it looks it looks likeit's somebody like when you watch the movies
and somebody kicks it in and yousee the door like shatter around the knob.

(31:52):
Yeah, the ocasing. And Iused to start laughing and he's like,
why are you laughing? I justbroke your house. I'm like,
cause you can't like a wreck.And he's like, I hate you so
much. He left the house andhe came back and I went, hey,
kool aid man, did you finda better way in? Oh?
Yeah. So I decided to turnit into a joyful experience for myself.

(32:13):
My buddy's over there fixing it today. So hopefully, hopefully the bill hasn't
changed my mind on how funny thatwas, how much damage has been done.
We're gonna have to the door itselfmight be okay, but the entire
frame probably has to be replaced.Oh my gosh, but what do you
gonna do? I mean, itwas just it was a natural. It
was a mistake, like it was. But and the fact that I can

(32:36):
falling up the stairs is a mistake. Yeah, he tripped over servedlus earlier
in the day. This is earlierin the day. He was coming up
with a handful of laundry. Hedidn't look down, his foot caught the
step, the bottom step, andhe just went forward and he went right
through. So so yeah, hejust went right through. So getting like
now I'm calling them Miley Cyrus,kool aid Man, my buddy, my

(33:00):
buddy, Zach Fitzgerald who has thehandyman service. He's coming over to fix
it for me. He just keepssending him kool aid Man references. So
it's like, you know, listen, you gotta find your joy in life.
I have a rule. So,like one of my buddies came over
when I first bought the house,and like, my house is a fixer
upper. You've seen it. There'sthere's nice rooms and there's rooms that need

(33:20):
work. It's an old house.I've been. You know, I thought
I knew what I was doing.I don't, so you know, I
have to be able to budget itall out. So my buddy's like,
I just want to run through awall, and I'm like, I made
a rule for him, and ifyou break something in my house, you
have to replace it. If youbreak something in my house with malicious intent,
like hey, I just want torun through a wall, you have
to replace it, and something ofequal or greater value. So of course,

(33:45):
like I had to do the rulingyesterday and make sure that he didn't
have to replace something of equal orgreater value. Technically he does have to
replace that door. Though, isthat hammer Robbie's code? It's a it's
ambased code. It's just Polly code. Actually, my buddy's Tommy Chung.
It's Tommy Chunk's code, is whatit is. But yeah, no,
So that was that was my Thatwas my day yesterday. It was the

(34:07):
full Miley Cyrus wrecking ball after everythingfrom this weekend and like you know,
Saturday was like a just catch yourbirthday when I finally got back from Jersey,
and then yesterday I was like,all right, I'm gonna make myself
a nice breakfast. I'm gonna startliving like normal life again. Get my
stuff in order, so when Igo to the office on Monday, I'll
be rid boom, what the hellwas that so grenade in the kitchen and

(34:30):
uh no, it's just yeah,there was there was Miley bang right through
the door. So Mad had toleave because I was laughing at him.
And that might be his name onthe show from now on, Miley Cyrus.
Just I was just I couldn't stoplaughing, Like what was I gonna
do? I feel like I wouldrather have that happen than ever be sick,

(34:51):
because I'm here. I was fighting, like the moment I left Sarahtoga.
Maybe a little bit off there,like from Saratoga until maybe this morning.
Everybody in the house is going downevery once once Jordan, the wife
is walking around the thermometer and it'sred red red, like oh gosh,
back to now, huh the twoboys me Mom, somehow pregnant would be

(35:14):
the most likely to be sick,because you know she can't and can't take
some things. Fought through it.Life is good. But I had some
more downtime than usual on a weekend. Usually on weekends you're always doing something.
I'm always on the move doing something. I was like, we actually,
like can relax. It's not theright term, but aren't mobile,
We'll say we are station sharing.Yes, this is what I have in

(35:35):
the dump today. Is it stillcool to be on television with highlights?
Like? I feel like in atime in the history of sports that if
you were on the local news oryou were in the newspaper, that was
the biggest thrill ever, Like ifyou made Friday night lights or or something
right, I didn't, Yes,I wasn't thinking that I was sticking more
Friday night lights or just technically there'slights involved, or like a newspaper score,

(36:00):
Like that was the coolest thing thatwould happen. You would love it,
And there's probably people listening right now. I'm like, of course,
guys, like that was a highlightif you made it into that. But
as the world has progressed and evolved, I see more and more wild things
on television where it's like, youknow what, it was cool until they
aired this, Like the Oak Showwas the king of this. Right when
ESPN I think they were gonna bringback the Oat Show. They to air

(36:22):
like the most random things going onand it feels like it's getting more and
more random these days. So Iwoke up this morning, I'm like,
you know what, I have afew minutes to catch a little bit more
Sports Center than usual. Let mesee, it's the summer. Something may
or may not be going on ontelevision. Was the National Championship EIGHTEENU Women's

(36:43):
Flank Football Championship. I didn't seeany of it, but I saw like
the very end where they celebrated.That's what I saw. I didn't know
it existed. Now I'm not sayingit's awful. I actually watched the highlights.
I was very impressed by the womenwho were playing. Nice job,
Like that is a sport that's offup. But I'm just thinking my head,
like this is on Sports Center.Now. I've seen Ultimate Frisbee.

(37:05):
We've seen the games where it's like, yeah, football, what's the sport
that Harry Potter plays? Quidditch?Is that it? They're just certain sports
where it's like, okay, they'vemade it on the hole they're on.
There's YouTube channels that show and thisstuff. I'm surprised and maybe this is
a take that will age well forme. I mean, I feel like
flag football coverage might actually be talkedabout in the future. There's flag football

(37:29):
leagues across Section two. There's women'sflag I think it was a Schenectady team
unbelievable this season. So flag footballis not just like a trendy thing.
This is here to stay. Nowthat it's getting highlights, that's blown away
by it. Well that the theNFL is pushing for kids to play flag
but for two reasons. Because ifwomen, if you know girls, women

(37:50):
start playing flag, they're gonna fallin love with the game. They're more
likely to become a direct p onefan of football. If boys and men
start playing it, well, youcan develop skills without the collision, so
you're gonna be a lot healthier bythe time you get to the pros or
college. And also, if theycan get us all the fall in love

(38:13):
with flag football, one day,they might be able to get to get
rid of conventional football. It's kindof what they're Oh, it's all the
sinister plan. I don't have thelast part. I want to believe that
how you set that up was baseball'shad softball not the same sport. Alternative
product that women can play. Basketballis the same volleyballs women can play in
old fat drunk men like myself canalso for softball, volleyball dimensions and nets

(38:37):
are different, but what I messhockey like, we have a bunch of
sports that both men and women canplay. Football, American football, soccer
we know too. American football wasthe only one that ever offered an alternative.
Now they do offer the alternative.And look, we've seen women leagues
that have contact as well. Iwas just blown away by the popularity of
flag football. Like I played flagfootball, You played flag football. This

(38:59):
is now a what ten fifteen yearsfrom now, people showing highlights and breaking
down what happened to flax football.Yeah, my hope. I hope it
leads to what you said, developinga skill set seven on seven, watch
we can do when you put padson. Not the future is coming.
Football will die forever, and nowthis is your product you have to deal
with. I mean, not die. It's gonna transform into a lovely butterfly

(39:21):
with flags that you can use totackle that butterfly. My hope is that
contact sports like football and hockey alwayswill remain because boxing in the UFC is
still a thing. Yeah. No, I think I think the major plus
for football, and I hope wedon't go too far. When they finally
started to acknowledge concussions were bad andthat they existed, and the CTE was

(39:45):
a thing, Well, now youcan say to a person, hey,
do you accept this risk? Andif you accept this risk, you can
play this game. You can dothis thing. Because when they were ignored
it, they denied it and theypretended there was no such thing as concussions
or they weren't bad for you.Well that's different. Now now you're evil.

(40:06):
Now you're like, I don't carewhat really happens. I don't care
if you're a vegetable. At fortywe got we got tickets to sell,
but hey, I have coal miners, ice fishers. Like, there's a
very dangerous jobs out there. Youknow it's dangerous when you do it,
and you choose to do it anyway. Okay, cool. Football can be
the same thing. Yeah, fora while, football and just violent sports,

(40:29):
and Diyro like the old go throughwas like, yeah, it's violent,
but there's other more violent stuff peoplecould do. Am I right,
so come join football? Oh thattake wasn't the best. Well was that
it worked on people though, Butwhen you use rung your bell, Robson
darted on it. It'll be fine. Those were not those didn't work,
those didn't age well, and neitherof the poor people who didn't know it

(40:50):
was a problem. Yeah, youknow, I just I remember people just
banging their heads and the lockers andstuff to prove they were tough. It's
like if you if you went likeback in time right now and saw the
way people treated their melons like you'dbe like, oh my god, are
you trying to eat cat food?Like what do you what? What is
your problem? Like what do youwant left through your life? People just
didn't know any better at all.How the hitting techniques, I mean,

(41:12):
I think about chair shots and prowrestling, like over the head shots.
Those are fine. Those are fake. It's fake. Nobody nobody gets hurt.
It's a real chair. We usedto do with cooking trays in the
kitchen. I worked in the longsheet trace the cooking bit. You get
a good sound out of it.You know, as long as you hit
it flat, nobody got cut.It was all right. Sometimes you gotta
sometimes you gotta figure out who's gonnado the prep for the next day.

(41:35):
And you know, simple rock papersister. It ain't gonna count. No
needs to be, needs to bepant shots to the head until you wait
a minute? What was I justsaying? Uh? Where? Who beat
my pants? I got one otherone for you here? This is nice,
It's good all right. There's anew feature on Alexa. This is

(41:55):
for us, okay, Alexa talkgen z to me. It gives out
the definitions and examples of twenty popularwords used by the new generation there Cordin
Amazon's research, eighty three percent ofyoung people realize that their elders are clueless
about what they're talking about. Thirtyfive percent of the say it's quote cringe

(42:17):
for an older person to misuse theirslang, but don't count older generations out
right now. Fifty six percent ofnon gen zers say they're eager to learn
what the new terms are. Soif you ask Alexa, Alexa, what
does low key mean? I hopeeverybody just went crazy. No. No
key means do you know you want? You want see? If you know

(42:39):
these? I think, yeah,let's do this. Loki, you're younger
than me. I'm gonna be honestto tell you what's once I know which
once I don't. Low ki isnot a secret, but it's all on
like the down low. I guessI can't use other terms to describe that,
but it's like, you know,let's not be too loud about this,
keep some things subtle. So thereyou go. All right, it's
giving. Uh, it's giving.I guess it's giving like would be like

(43:02):
vibes, right, that'd be likeit's putting off on something, the tone
something emulates. So I'm two fortwo, I think so much, I'm
with you so far, and I'mit's giving. Like. I don't know
if I would have got that onebecause it feels very generic unless you say
it's giving it this vibe or thistone. Uh ick, gross something crimeworthy?

(43:22):
All right, sleigh, ooh,this is the hardest one. This
is it's it's I'm gonna give youa little alttitude on this one because I've
heard it used this way and alsoa little more broadly. Our friend Nadia,
who works at her promotions tech teamlive on location, she uses a
lot. So I think it's youwear an outfit and you're proud of the
outfit, and you want to bepublic with what you're doing to show off

(43:44):
with pride. Right, I'm prettycool. Get crazy crazy? Uh?
Riz riz is the new form ofswagger, right swagger or charisma. See
that's how you remember the isn't there? The math is mathing. The math

(44:05):
is math that. I've never heardthat before, but gosh, that's hilarious,
you know what. I hope soonenough kids will start saying that out
to events. I would assume itjust means it's adding up that makes sense,
makes logical sense. Sue, Sue, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry I read it wrong.Sus My old eyes, sus My old
eyes. Sus is my favorite onebecause I remember the old fan for the

(44:27):
Syracuse Chiefs who was nicknamed Suspect,and he would yell out of calls at
the umpires. That one I wouldeven think classify in this generation. Suspect
means like you're up to no good. I don't think that's real. It's
like cheating. I think some vibesare wrong about you. You just love
the word vibe. Sus is shortfor suspicious eight eight. That's a coach.

(44:51):
Coach Karmen used to use that termwith us and his players. Eight
would be like ate them up solike played well, like had no chance
against him, a showing of admirationfor someone consuming success hot girl summer that
well, take it back, that'smy favorite one. Nothing is better than

(45:12):
a hot girl summer. I've saidthat line to my sister in laws,
who are all in their thirties,about that. They're all pretty attractive women,
about having a hot girl summer.You know what I missed out on
in life fact I fall being someone'smistake for a hot girl summer. A
hot girl summer means she don't care. The morals are out the window.
She's about to do her thing andshe don't care who sees it. And

(45:32):
encouragement to unapologetically be yourself and thrive. One of my sister in laws had
a hot girl summer in COVID.I don't think she understood the rules.
Yeah, it was a fever thatmade her so hot. I'm like,
I'm actually really impressed so far.Like is this because of the sister laws?
Like you've got you're like dead ona cap? Oh man, this

(45:53):
one actually confuses me. No capmeans no lie, so cat means a
lie cat is a lie? Islaps. That's like good, oh man,
this this meat slaps this this soupI had slaps to describe something as
being a hit. Fam that's oneof your favorites. Yeah, bro,

(46:17):
drip uh drip would be like ifI was wearing like a chain and a
watch and like a backwards hat,someone would be like, oh, he's
got drips. I get. Soit's more like a fashion term fashion sense,
allow it to be stylish. Yougot drip yo airing airing, Yeah,

(46:38):
we got, we got, wegot. There were three more airing
hang out hanging on. Let methink about this airing A I R I
N G correct airing. Yes,oh man, I don't know if this
might be the first one I didpretty well, I would guess. I
would guess. It's like airing grievances. So it'd be like, hey,
I'm gonna air this out, likeI'm gonna talk to you about it and

(47:01):
get one on one in your face. The confrontations that'd be airing. Apparently,
again this is I don't know thisone either. I'll admit it to
ignore y'all. I'm airing this wholesituation. I'm airing you. I'm there.
It's over. Oh finally, stumpme in your triple ex era,
in your triple x era, inyour ex ex ex era. The only

(47:24):
guess I would have it is ithas to be like they're getting romantic,
like it's getting like erotic a bit. That's that's a horrible guess. That's
gonna mean it makes too much sense. That's why it's a bad guess describing
chronic emotions or preferences a person has. Okay, alright, and then the
last one mother. Okay, sothis is one I would have missed on.

(47:46):
This one seems too obvious. ButI was watching Big Brother yesterday and
they call everybody who's not like agen Zer mom and pops. So like,
there's two characters on the show,so I'd assume mother just means someone
older than them, or like someone'solder than them would be pops, So
it's mom and pops. On tojust assume, like an older woman is
everyone's mom. I think it's ifif you did that in like a form

(48:07):
of respect, you'd probably be there, uh female status symbol, So like
like, isn't Beyonce mother? Ithink that's okay, Lady Gaga's mother?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, so there you go. You Wow,
guy's pretty good at the gen ZToo bad your kids are not gen
z Ers and they're gonna have allnew crappy things to say that you're gonna
have to figure out. Then thatlist was lit? Was fierce? Was

(48:31):
you said fierce? I had heardsome of those terms in a minute.
I actually said that to Alan greenpicked ally the other day, just laughed
in my face. I'm with it, Show with it eighteen to thirty five's
we're gonna hit that demo you lookout, We're never gonna age out because
we're so cool. We're elevating ourbrand levat We're hit that lifestyle. Imagine.

(48:57):
I can just imagine, like that'ssomething that a Clotte has to stay
on top of a because of thefact that when you go to elevation ten
thousand, you get your website designed, you're gonna come up. Maybe they're
gonna help you come up with themarketing strategy. Maybe it comes with some
kind of you know, some kindof slogan, you know, all the
riz like whatever. He's got toknow all that stuff, poor Dave.
Dave is never gonna be able togrow up. He's not allowed because he

(49:19):
has to know all that stuff.He knows it. For you. That's
what has to happen with certain peoplewhen they hit the marketing game, what's
cool, what are people connecting to, what's happening on social media? That's
really a big party about your businesstoo. The worst part is if you're
a business that's far behind on thesetrends, like, oh gosh, they're
still doing then huh, that's socringe. Gosh, that's so ick.
But if you're on top of thesethings that are developing, it plays a

(49:44):
huge part about how people see yourbrand, your business and more in Elevation
ten thousand can help answer some ofthose questions for you, do you want
to do the wrong TikTok dance?Do you want to have the wrong social
media post? No? Elevation tenthousand. Make sure your business is connected
with the right audience and you havethe right idea, the right image of
what your brand wants to be forthe future. They seriously it maybe maybe
the advice is, Hey, youdon't need these new things because that's not

(50:06):
who we're targeting for your for yourproduct. So that's why I always got
to Elevation ten thousand. Gos goesElevation ten thousand. Everything from strategy to
marketing, to website design to appareldesign, it's all happening under one roof
at elevation ten thousand. Elevate yourbrand today. All right, I gotta
get out of here. I'm verybusy. I'm very very busy planning for
my the comeback. You know,the comeback. We gotta We've never never

(50:30):
lost a championship game before. Gotme ready? Oh yeah, gotta get
to the lab. As the kidssay, get back to work. So
let's go ahead and wash our hands. We're not gonna touch our faces.
