Fact, it's time for the Topfour four with Levac and Guza or talking
for the top four four or fourbiggest stories in the world of sports has
brought to you by our good friendsat Mohawk Honda, where they always got
out of the way to please you. Guys. What's the fourth biggest story?
(00:22):
Let's talk about the quarterback deal thathappened when we signed off on Friday.
We haven't had a chance to talkabout the richest player ever who's ever
played professional football. Ever. That'sa guy who has less than twenty career
starts, Green Bay Packer quarterback JordanLove. Levac. When you heard the
news that Jordan Love had signed afour year, two hundred and twenty million
dollar contract extension with the Packers,did you also think it was a fake
(00:44):
Adam Schefter account and you were nervousthat you were going to retweet wrong information
like I did? Uh? No, I was. I was pretty sure
it was right, and I thoughtto myself, got he played that well?
Like there's you hope he lives upto it, just for the fact
that, like it's an insane amountof money. He's now tied annually with
(01:07):
Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow. ButI actually think about that right now.
Fifty five million a year Joe Burrow. One good season. Let it seem
to the super Bowl though. Yeah, Okay, Trevor Lawrence, no good
season. None. Maybe if youput all of his games together, for
like, if you picked out,maybe he gets sixteen or seventeen. Jordan
(01:30):
Love one good season, two aton of below. He's next fifty three
point one one and a half.I one and a half almost died in
the field. Those are the guysmaking the most money right now annually.
That's the deal. If you averageit out, those are the guys making
the most fine. Jordan Love playedthe good Soldiers, sat behind Aaron Rodgers
(01:51):
for all that time, never complained, learned, looked a lot like Aaron
Rodgers on the field when he finallygot a chance to play, And now
he's getting paid for it, Sogood for him. We've seen other sports
eventually figured this out. We talkedabout hockey's lockout when hockey players were making
way too big of contracts and GaryBettman had to be the bad guy and
be like, you can't make it, but you can't make this money anymore.
(02:14):
Knock it all, can we can'tdo this. The NBA is a
lot different because the NBA has aluxury text where they've had issues with the
contracts. However, really the biggestfinancial problem was the late nineties when Michael
Jordan as an athlete was making morethan entire teams can bind, and thend
to lock out the league. Sothey figured that out. At one point,
(02:35):
Baseball's trying to not let guys intheir mid to late thirties, sound
like an old man here make tenyear contracts worth four hundred million when you're
way better to do it early on. We've lived through the NFL. I
remember talking about, man, thatseems like a lot of money for Matt
Flynn. Huh, gosh, arethey sure they really want Kevin Cobb that
bad? You and I I rememberwhere we were sitting. We were sitting
(02:59):
in the Uall basketball gym when thebrock As Spiler trade went down, Like,
oh gosh, that much money forbrock as Spiler. Now, look,
Jordan Love to Uh, Lawrence Burroware all different quarterbacks as we just
discussed. But you would think,just like the league would have caught up
and been like, gosh, uh, didn't we just do this before why
(03:21):
is the price going up? JordanLove's a nice player. He's not this,
He's not I picked the Packers towin the Super Bowl earlier pack of
pickled peppers. Green Bay was mypick to win the NFC, And now
that their quarterbacks making fifty million bucks, I'm reconsidering my NFC picker last year.
I like to chip on the shoulder. I like to prove me wrong.
(03:43):
I like the yeah, there's there'sstill a chip on his shoulder,
but it's like a million dollar chipfrom the high roller room where he can
go now. I want the JoeFlacco going after something. You don't think
Jordan Love sees this contract as amotivator. Yeah, you don't think Jordan
Love hears all the sports talk hostlike you out there going yes, it's
too much body, no love forthis contract? Like you didn't hear that
(04:08):
everywhere? You know how we asksometimes what it would be like to see
the differenceation two hundred and twenty millionand two hundred and fifty million. Yeah,
I hope one day did I makeso much money? I have to
have the conversation of aren't you motivatedby the hater saying you're making too much
money. I hope to God thatday comes in my life. That day
has never arrived. Maybe I wouldreact like that, I've never had that
happen. Well, I mean,you look for a chip, it's just
(04:30):
not the chip you were looking for. Like It's like, wouldn't wouldn't a
better motivational chip on your shoulder bethe one that is you and your team
versus the world, not you versusyour team. You know what's the saddest
part about this, Jordan, I'mtrying to talk you back into picking the
Green. I get that I'm gonnahave to reconsider that when we do our
final NFL season preview show, probablytonit will hit Labor Day that Monday.
(04:55):
The saddest part about the Jordan Loveconversation and leave that can confirm this.
Aren't I the first person you've everheard of who talked about Jordan Love like
I've been talking about Jordan Love sincehe was at Utah State. Kevin Sweeney,
who's our writer for Sports This Street, he was with us since Sarah
Toogin I said, watch this JordanLove kid at Utah State. It was
the first legal college football wager.I fired off Wake Forest Utah State.
(05:19):
What I said before that, youbet before that? No, No,
no, I didn't. I didn't. Utah State cashed with the hook.
I remember because wake Forest took aknee at the four yard line. That's
besides the point I was, misterJordan Love, I should be raw,
Rob, this is great. He'sthe man I've been telling you for six
years. That's how considered him aboutthis contract. I'm not you know that's
(05:41):
true? Right? Confirmed that?Yeah? No, it's true. It's
just this is your but you're weird. Your weird take has be confused like
I want a guy with a chipon his shoulder. Well, he's the
highest paid player in the history ofthe NFL, and uh people hate him
for it. That's not the chipI want. What ship do you want?
(06:02):
I want the chip where he thinkshis own team doesn't believe in him.
That's not that's not better. Now, only if there is an NFC
team out there that has a quarterbackwho's underpaid that's playing for gosh, there
is one, isn't there? Hi? I'm guys, and I think the
Dallas Cowboys are now gonna win itall or the Sandwiches a forty nine ers
(06:27):
for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That'snot happening. That's not happening. Baker
the Bum Mayfield, they ain't gettingit done. That's not his nickname.
It's not the Bump. We'll moveon to story number three. We've got
some big local news here, localnews involving Sienna basketball coach Brian Ury has
signed on to joint coach Jerry McNamara'steam. The legendary coach at the College
(06:50):
of Saint Rose is now going tobe a special assistant head coach the Jerry
McNamara coach. Ury, most recentlythe coach of Saint Rose before the college
closed Levac. This was a sourcestory. There was rumors floating around.
We knew that there was something goingon that wasn't Bucknell. Instead, this
(07:11):
was the big news and a hugelocal impact. What do you make of
the news of a legend here locallyjoining coach McNamara's staff. I like it.
I like it because what's the potentialnegatives for a guy like gmac Well,
he doesn't really know the area,you know, he's he's a couple
hours away from here. How muchhow much attention has he played paid to
(07:33):
Latham and Alvin and really that well, here's a guy who's who's probably every
kid that you can recruit locally hasprobably been to one of his camps.
So I love it. I thinkit's a really smart move. I think
it shows respect to the area.I think it shows respect to Bury's knowledge
and just really well done smart move. Recruiting wise, understanding the pipeline,
(07:55):
understanding the big schools, all thosethings. I'm with you on an advantage.
Listen, here's here's what I'm thinkingthough. So coach Bery has been
a head coach for thirty years thirtyfive years. Isn't there a lot of
ego that's played here? And that'snot to coach Bery. That's like anybody
who does a job for a longtime where they're the boss, can you
(08:16):
all of a sudden be the assistant? Have you hit a point in life
for You're Like, it's not aboutego anymore. I just want to make
kids get better. I want tomake an opportunity happen for someone locally.
Maybe, like that'd be great ifCoach Berry has that mindset. I'm sure
he does. That's probably why hetook the gig. But I'm just looking
at a head coach who's been ahead coach for a long time. Who
says, do you want to cuttape? Are you going on the recruiting
(08:37):
road trips? Do you still wantto recruit sixteen year olds and seventeen I
don't know. Like he might givethis a shot and be like, you
know what, thanks, but nothanks, this is not what I'm used
to. I gave it a shot. It's not my thing. Or I
love basketball and I love coaching.I want to give it a shot.
There's a reason Bill Belichick isn't itan a coordinator. We talked about that
last week. There's reasons why somecoaches just can't being assistant anymore because theyve
(09:01):
hit a part of their career.Look, you and I do this for
a living. If someone said,hey, Levac or guys, we want
you guys to be a producer nowor we want you to be something else,
I don't know either one of uswant to do that our career.
That's the way I look at it, Like, do I think it's a
great addition. Absolutely? Do.I think it's odd that Ryan Blackwell was
the head coach before now he's anassistant coach. Berry is a head coach
before and now he's an assistant.That's putting a lot of egos aside for
(09:24):
guys. Now Blackwell was the highschool but still high school level, right,
Like, egos play a factor inthat. If you get everywhere on
the same page, you'll do great. Let's just hope egos don't get involved
in that. Again, not ashot to Bury, coach Bery, that's
a shot to anybody who's been ahead coach before. Can you put your
ego aside? She related to thestaff guy, Ryan Bury. To what
guy? Uh? The staff Theguy was over on GMAX staff already,
(09:48):
Ryan Bury. Yes, I thinkthat's his uncle. Oh okay, that
helps too. That all helps becauseRyan is the one who I talk to
when I try to get him tocalm down and not have a restraining order
against you. He's been very receptive. He's a nice guy. That's the
one he's most frequently when's coach McNamaracoming on the show. As soon as
(10:09):
we put you in a Hannibal lecturestraight jacket, we were offered another opportunity.
Now I wonder if it's me becausewe had I can help with that.
Yes, it is in my mindto see this going a different way
because you and I were invited toan event. Did we say no?
I don't know if we decided ifwe said yes or no? Yet?
(10:31):
Am I playing hard to get withCoach mcnamare at this point like he has
to come find me. What's goingon? Mentally? You were in the
mass text. You saw what happened. I well, yeah, so Sienna
did. It's one of the they'rerehabbing courts today, right, I'm pretty
sure today. Man. When theyfirst said it, I thought it was
(10:54):
I thought it was a media eventthat would be in the building. I
thought it'd be funny if we didthe show from my office, so it
looked like you were talking uh,coach g mac. But it was on
the road. We would have hadto get we would have to do the
show somewhere, and we weren't ready. We weren't ready to test the show.
We're ready to do it, Sothat's it probably looks like now you're
playing hard to get, but you'renot. You still are just crazy.
Gosh, now this is getting weird. Now. Now I'm hoping Coach mcmar
(11:18):
calls me, Hey, guys,you aren't at the event, man,
how is everything everybody else? Ifeel like at one point where you have
your number, No, or knowwho I am? No? Oh he
knows who you are? Oh hedoes. Yeah, there's a picture of
his office. Don't let this guyin bell look good in the picture?
A little chunky, little chubby,maybe baldy. Someone's get that picture out.
Where do you find that that picturedoesn't exist? We're gonna move on
(11:41):
a story. Someone photo shot wasa demos When who did that? Did
you give him a picture? MetsTwins City Field. I'm focused Mets Twins
City Field, seven to ten.First pitch tonight was a Kingtana on the
mound for the Mets. The Twinsstill a playoff contenders. They always seen.
Joe Mauer, a recent Hall ofFame inducty, The New York Mets
(12:01):
fun, exciting new additions to theroster. They're active. We've still got
a few more hours before the tradedeadline wraps up. It's gonna wrap up
later this week. That Twins Metsbattle of a postseason matchup across no one
would scream out World Series preview bindingstretch, but both teams could be in
the postseason. Mets are back onthe two game Luys, they fell right
back off the wagon. It appearsas though, the Mets and the Yankees
(12:24):
cannot both be good at once,so for one like like the Yankees,
it's like tug of war, right, So the Yankees at first were like,
ah, we're gonna pull you offthe platform. Also the Mets finally
going ah, we got you now. No the Yankees no, no,
no, no no. So hopefullythe Yanks got a little bit of run.
And if that means the Mets haveto suffer, I'm sorry Mets been,
(12:46):
especially after Leon was so rude tome. Oh, Leon, so
rude. For those who didn't seethat horrible interaction, Leon who's been become
a friend of the show, comesup, says a couple of nice things,
reels me in, and goes,how about those Yankees this week?
But oh really really? He didit right before break too, so he
barely had a time to respond.He knew I was gonna say something.
(13:09):
Yeah, that's what you know.You really love radio when you know when
the hosts are going to break sothey can't come back. We're like holding
the heads. That's up. He'slike, hey, by the way,
Yankee shuck Well he rides away.That's a veteran move by Leon. I
had a guy his I think he'sstill with us. Stephen Norse Syracuse,
Stephen Noryracuse. What Stephen Norse Syracusewould do is he'd call to call into
(13:31):
the show at the end of acommercial break because he knows the segment could
lead off with him, so we'dhave more time on the air because he
knows they're not going to break anytimesoon. Like that's a veteran caller somewhere,
Corey and Green is just like,four more minutes, I'll be calling
in. That's all I have todo to get more time. My guys,
let's we want a story number onethe music right now. That means
we're doing good here. Yankees Philly'sinterleague matchable of that earlier in the show
(13:52):
called it a world Series preview.Yep, that'll between the two best leads.
Half of it is the best teamin baseball. The Yankees trying to
have that bringing right at least tobe the best team in the American League.
This should be a hmm, Iwant. I wanted to say a
way in which the Yankees can figureout if they're the top team and what
move they have to make. Butthey're really not gonna use that as that
(14:15):
because they're in the National League.Unless Levac you think differently about where this
sets the precedent for the rest ofthe baseball. Maybe my taking is an
Oriole fan, that is the correctquestion. If you want to be the
best team in baseball, you findout your weakness is tonight against Philly.
Yeah, listen, I seriously,I just think I think you measure yourself
against yourself. When you're the Yankees, you know you're just the you're the
best, you have the most championships. You uh you know you you you
(14:37):
bring them back to Carlos Ston.You've made some moves. You got to
you get to old Jazz Chisholm.He's out there. I made him an
occasional chis. I liked it,And uh, you know, we're only
gonna get better from here. Mightmove, Nestra Cortez, might move clever
Taurus, might make some moves.That's that's what's up. It's not it's
not about the Phillies. You know, Phillies. The Phillies might be lucky
(14:58):
enough to be there when we weneed a team to beat, just like
an nine. But uh, youknow we'll be all right. Everything's be
good. The Yankees aren't reactionary peoplereact to the Yankees full Chuck Norris here,
right, that's right, man,we don't we don't do push ups.
We push the earth away. That'swhat's up. Six forty first pitch
by the way for Yankees Phillies.Do you know? Uh, Chuck Norris
has never gone gambling because that meansyou might lose. He goes winning eighty
(15:24):
eighty four four? Is this thebirthday game? No? Are we next
door? Just Chuck Norris has beenaround a lot time. Man, Wow,
what in the money? We'll donethe back all right, I'm gonna
I want to do the Birthday gamenext March tenth, please, he'll be
eighty five. There was a spotthere in the mid two thousands where you
had Chuck Norris references because of themovie Dodgeball, and you had Cone O'Brien
(15:48):
doing the Walker Texas Ranger lever.That was great. I love that.
And then Paul Rudd would come onand do the same movie clip every time
from I think it was Max andme. Yeah. Now I just looked
up and there's they're battling Harpsichords onthe TV. That's great. My favorite
part about that Paul Rudd thing was. I was such I'm still a con
(16:08):
O'Brian fan, but not as much. Just don't consumers content as much.
I thought I was the only onewho knew the joke. Like I watched
Conan so much. I'm like,man, this is hilarious. Nobody else
knows what's going on except me becauseI'm such a diehard Conan fan. And
then slowly, as the years progressed, I'm like, wow, this has
been going on far before I watchedthis show. Not this, not the
(16:29):
small window that I thought this washappening in the year two thousand. All
right, is that the top fourfour? Yes, So let's talk about
Mohawkan who brings us to the topfour to four every single weekday, four
o'clock. Mohawkan where they always goingon their way to please you. I
took a trip up north this weekendin my wonderful wife's odyssey. Uh,

Guz on ninety five nine and nineeighty am Fox Sports Radio two, twenty
five and a half hours. Alittle more than that and the MLB trade
deadline will be before us. Stillsome moves to be made. As a
(23:11):
matter of fact, there are rumorsthat the New York Yankees are looking to
move Nestor Cortes because Clark Schmid willbe back. They don't think that Nestor
Cortes is one hundred percent what they'regonna need. Some people starting to already
look around and kind of see thisas the modern version of Jordan Montgomery for
(23:32):
Harrison Bader, and we all knowhow much guys love that trade, one
of your all time faves. ButYankees don't appear to be done. Are
the Mets done? If you no, I would say the Mets are not
done. Now. The whole conceptthere of the Nester Cortes trade throws me
off. But I don't think theMets are done because we've already seen the
action that's happening there with the Mets, and they have some pieces that potentially
(23:55):
can still be some major league batsand arms that just don't have any room
for it right now that could potentiallymove around for some younger players ready to
make an impact at the next level. So I'll say the Mets aren't done
yet. Back to the Yankee thing, I don't think they're done either.
Here's what throws me off about theNester core Test potential move. So everyone
knows the Yankees want to move thembecause of a potential contract situation that could
(24:17):
be on the move, the lackof expectations reached by him, the importance
of that position going forward in SeptemberOctober, if he's going to hit the
quality of work that New York thinkshe should, so if we all think
those are realistic things that potentially playa factor in him no longer wearing pinstripes,
who the hell wants them. That'sthe problem about this, where it's
like, Okay, if the Yankeesdeal Nester core Test because they feel like
(24:41):
he can't get the job done,I can't wait for so and so to
all of a sudden magically believe he'sgonna get it done for them that are
gonna get it for cheap that theywant. That's what I struggle with the
deals like this, where it's like, okay, if you've got a young
prospect that we'll go back to themid twenty tents, right when remember we
hit that trade deadline whe where Clevelandmade a move for Andrew Miller and the
(25:03):
Yankees gave away Miller, I believe, and then Chapman went to the Cubs,
but then went back to the Yankeeswhere the Yankees were dealing away arms
because they knew how important it wouldbe. Clint Fraser was involved in one
of those deals. They said,Okay, this is a huge deal.
This is why we're going to beselling some of these arms. And we
know why because Cleveland and Chicago bothgot to the World Series. I don't
(25:23):
know who wants Nester Cortes. Youknow, earlier in the show, I
joked around about Corbyn Burns, thatCorbyn Burns was this can't miss Orioles,
Gotta get him cy Young Award winner, where it's as if, okay,
but what's his future in Baltimore ofa sudden, like he was supposed to
be the guy, no doubt,but it's like maybe he's not living up
to expectations where they potentially could findanother future Cord Burns. So I don't
(25:47):
buy it, Like do the Yankeeswant to sell Nester cord As? Yeah,
but who's buying it? Who wantsthem? All Right? So here's
how you here's the sales pitch,right, Garrett Cole, Carlos Rodan,
Marcus Stroman, Luisy Clark Schmidt andthen potentially adding another arm. And then
you look around and you go,hey, look, he's better than what
you're for us. He'd be afourth, fifth, sixth guy for you.
(26:11):
He's a second or third guy,and he's gonna and he's gonna do
better for you because of this,this and this, give us this,
like the the main rumor so farhas been Cortes for uh, Tommy Edmond
from the Cardinals utility player. Idon't watch a lot of Cardinals baseball,
(26:33):
so I'm not gonna sit here andpretend that, oh, yeah, it's
a great or terrible trade. Idon't I don't really know. I don't
watch the Cardinals very much. Butthe if you need to get infield support,
and it kind of looks like youdo. Rizzo looks like he's pretty
much washed up. Djil May helooks pretty washed up. You know.
You're you're talking about taking you know, jas Chisholm and putting him on third
(26:56):
base as opposed to the outfield,like all these things, which that might
just also involve the fact that garCarlos Stan's coming back and Jami Jones just
got dfaid. Like there's there's alot of things going on. If you
need a picture, that might beyour guy. And this is what happens
(27:17):
to trade deadline all the time.So like you don't like for you sit
here and be like, you know, well, if you're the Yankees.
How are you gonna try and tellme that I want your player? That
sucks happens all the time. Youlook at him and go, hey,
you're not using him right this priceis worth paying. Let's go get him.
I think back to Ceesi Sabathia too, like Milwaukee. Milwaukee just threw
(27:37):
him all the time. When theymay move for CC and CC had to
move man nam Achada was a guyon the move. There are certain teams
that the mindset going to the tradedeadline seems such like an obvious statement,
but somehow it's getting lost here inthe most recent years post COVID is if
we're going to make a move atthe deadline, we think we can win
right now, like they used toalways be the mindset, we're going after
this arm because he's the difference ofus being the division Championship'll do use the
(28:00):
old school term a pennant winning aWorld Series, and we can get him
right now. Jeff Samarja, wayback when we played for the terrible Cubs
and the Giants made a move forhim. There are so many different arms
to go out there, Like,I don't even know if I did a
good enough job for the burnsing CorbinBurns is awesome, Like you know,
maybe they got Maybe I was beinga little too negative there of like do
(28:21):
I want him to be fifteen?And oh and I lead him in every
category. What I mean by CorbynBurns is that if Baltimore is not going
to sign him in twenty twenty five, which I have no reason besides the
Chris Davis deal eight years ago tothink they're gonna throw a ton of money
at this guy, then he's pitchinggreat. Do you deal him off because
you think you can get four orfive better pitchers who are prospects, or
(28:41):
do you ride with him and belike, we think we can win the
World Series? Now he's not moving. I think the Yankees are in that
same boat. If you're gonna dealaway Nester Cortez and be like, we
don't think we can get it done. Who's sitting out there? Is it
a pitcher for Miami Colorado? Areyou just making a move because you want
to make a move, because youalways make moves like this is what gets
really tough about he said, Miller. You know I've said his name a
nausea for the last two months.He got hurt. Are you still gonna
(29:04):
make a move for guy who's hurt. This is where it's up. I
thought the Jessism trade is okay,unique, different for the Yankees, Wakers,
really good for the Mets because heprovides a spark. Who is that
can't miss? Gotta go get him. It's not like the last seven eight
nine years of this is the bigguy everyone wants for the Yankees. Right
now, the alleged big targets areraised Closer Pete Fairbanks, Marlin's closer,
(29:33):
Tanner Scott See. There's two more. Kyle fitting encloser for the Nationals,
and then Michael Kopek, the relieverfor the White Sox, which he's already
moved, right, I think he'sif he hasn't moved. I know everybody
wants, gosh, how did theWhite Sox botch Michael Kopak? That guy
was throwing one hundred and six Ithink at one point, yeah, Tommy
John and everything else, but heyeah, I mean, just if you
(29:56):
Clark Clay Holmes probably sitting, I'mgoing I was an All Star. I
wasn't All Star. Don't please don'tbring in my replacement. I was an
All Star. You suck. Hemight be the best worst closer ever.
Like if he moved him to theeighth inning, I think he's a monster.
But as the ninth inning guy,he's by the way. The Dodgers
(30:17):
got him. Yes, so Ithought, oh, I know, but
I know he was the target nottoo long ago. But it's all,
it's all late inning pitching is whatthe Yankees are looking for. So and
I condone that I'm all about that. Go get it. That'd be great,
especially if Clark Smith comes back,because he was pitching better than Nester
cortest was this year. Nestra cortTest started off really good. He pitched
well at home. If you're watchingthat mask and you go to yourself like,
(30:41):
oh, I can fix that.This is what's wrong. We had
that with with you know, ourlast pitcher four years ago. He did
that. All we had to dowas get him a new binkie and he
slept great and everything was fine.On the road, it was fine.
I don't know, man, there'sthere's there's a lot of uh, there's
a lot to be done. Still, I'll be shocked with all the noise
that the Yankees don't turn something aroundto bring in a different at least somebody
(31:03):
to like challenge homes for the forthe closure role. This is year nine,
year ten in a row where youand nine do shows in late July.
Sometimes I go into August of Yankeeswill bring at this point I might
start running promos next year for twentytwenty five of the New York Yankees and
just like leave it like a doughnut. It's called in radio need to bring
(31:23):
in insert player here, you knowwhat I mean? Like it's so often
every year, I don't think there'sever gonna be here Lavac where the Yankees
don't make a move at the deadline. It's there's been years they haven't.
It always feels like they should.Oh every year Sonny Gray lance Lynn would
be great if they just complete,just figure everybody out and sold everything like
(31:45):
this is the race. Nobody thoughtthe Rays were gonna go full full sale,
but like it makes it makes sensewhen you look at it and go,
okay, who else is selling nobody? Okay, So wait, so
we have a we have a wehave control over the market. We can
get we can take our team thatwas monsters because of a great farm system,
make couple moves completely replenish the farmsystem with fast, strong guys.
(32:07):
Okay, let's go do that deal. Let's go team I brought up last
week as when you're listening here atfour point thirty in the afternoon, the
team that thought this was their summerwas the Cleveland Guardians. They're in first
place, They've got a good farmsystem. They feel like Baltimore and New
York have been playing terrible, whichyou know, suck was the word used
(32:28):
earlier. Right if you're a ClevelandGuardian fan, our guy Justin Lantis got
to be like, this is ourmoment. Everyone, we're trying to win.
Go all in the twins, neverget it done. The Royals aren't
as good as us. Get everybodyout of the system. This is our
all in moment right now. Clevelandhas done nothing. They're fact they should
be a factor. Gosh, ifthe Guardians don't make a move, you
(32:51):
can be ticked off Guardian fan becausethis is supposed to be your moment right
here. Yeah, the the movesare fast and furious. At this point,
Tommy Edmond is now yeah, he'she's with He's also with the Dodgers.
So basically all the targets that weknew the Yankees were looking at have
become Dodgers pretty much so. Sonow if you're if you're the Yankees,
(33:14):
you start floating out bad information andsee who the Dodgers will pick up.
We really think Kurt Shilling's right tomake it, make a comeback. We
think he can turn it around alittle. Catch him in the sock.
Dude's gonna handle bedness. Don't worry. It's gonna be great. So many,
so many moves it is. Itis gonna be a crazy, crazy
trade deadline. I think that's that'sfairly, fairly obvious at this point.
(33:38):
I just saw somebody, some dudenamed Evan tweet out Glabor Torres. I'm
a second baseman. I play secondYankee fan the rock. It doesn't matter
what you want, all right,that's man, all right, you ready
to do a play today? Iam ready to do the play the day.
But before we give our play theday, some of our friends over
at C four. I love fourlittle popsicle action going on. C four
(34:01):
is a proud spot to the Cfour Banker Will Challenge, which we do

five nine and nine eighty AM FoxSports Radio. It's time for the Play
(39:19):
of the day, which is broughtto you by our good friends over at
Mohawks Chevrolet, their way to pleaseyou. Oh right, the play of
the day. All right, SoI'm back on. I'm back on with
the Vince Troy parlays. Yeah,the hit yesterday, yep, hit one.
Feeling good, feeling feeling feeling kindof schmacks you over it. So
(39:40):
I got that going for me,you know, which is nice. I
wanted to do. I wanted todo something on your game, but it's
already going and they're not giving methe option for the one I want.
There is the second game tonight,though. You're talking about Blue Jays Orioles,
the double header, bottom the fourthright now, Orioles up five.
I have nothing with the bases loaded, but we have a six to thirty
(40:01):
five game. Probably won't go offat six thirty five, but you could
do game two, all right.I'm gonna do game two. Then let
me just find the odd sport.Do you have your play already? I
do, and I was thinking aboutcombining things, but let's just go.
Let's give this the second shot.Here, Paul Skins is on the mound.
He had lost the game until Ihad him for the play of the
day. He's six and one.He pitched great, so I'm gonna go
(40:22):
against him on the road. Noway, Pirates one game above five hundred.
Best pitcher on the mound minus onethirty five. Let's just get this
right, Paul Skins on the mount. If you want a plus money wager,
you can throw on the Diamondbacks too. Jordan Montgomery's on the mound for
the Snakes tonight minus one sixty five. That'll give you over a plus.
(40:43):
So just nice money line. Youknow, when it comes to baseball,
and I like doing the run runline. Sometimes we'll touch the over unders
on nine and a half or tenand a half. Let's just go to
really good pitchers on the mount ofthe National League Pirates Diamondbacks double money line.
That's the play parlay style. Nice, all right, I've got the
(41:05):
I'm gonna I'm gonna put a littlefun money on your boy Anthony Santander for
a homer tonight because I took himin our home run pool. Ooh okay,
I thought he already hit one inthis six nothing game, but he's
just he's won for two with awith a run. He does not have
a homer yet, but the Pensright parlay, I'm feeling good. I
think the Yankees are gonna win thisthing. Money line. I'm gonna get
(41:28):
a hit out of Jad Chisholm.I'm gonna get a hit out of Judge.
Luis Heal is gonna give me sixplus strikeouts as we over nine runs.
That is six forty six to one. Let's go six forty sixty four,
six sixty sixty four to one.Yeah, I thought I heard that
(41:49):
correctly, A sixty four to oneshot after the twenty eight to one shot
hit. So you're almost I'm in, I'm rolling, I'm feel good man.
So that's Levac quick math off tomIn. That means if you drop
fifteen bucks on that one, that'sa g No, that can't be okay,
no, no, no, tenbucks are gonna bring back a hundred
basically eighty something. Okay. Wellthat's what I have a little booster on
(42:13):
there too. So that's that's Ithink. So we both are in the
dinger pool. Yes, we bothhad the same guy last week, Peter
Alonzo. So I've got Anthony Santoine, Who do you have this on?
I have Jose Ramirez all right,and Boston Dan had to buy back in
(42:34):
because you hit pen Rice shouldn't laugh. That's bad karma. It can't laugh
what we already like Santander are alreadyhit one in the in the opener,
I'd be like, all right,see you guys next week. I'm out
over un Pools are great. It'scool. It's it's more fun than I
thought it was gonna be. That'sfor some people. They're only wagering they
do all year. They love Survivor. They love like if you don't wager
(42:55):
on lines or spreads are over undersand you're just in one survivor pool.
That's cool that I'm declaring this littleback. By the way, I'm declaring
this right now when we do whenwe do our NFL wagers this year that
you smoked everyone with last year againstQuinny cancerra Like, right now, I'm
telling you, I'm doing five dollarsa money line on my Week one Survivor
(43:15):
and then five dollars in a parlay, and I'm gonna roll with my Survivor
pick, hopefully putting me in profitevery week. That's my play. I'm
gonna keep playing my Survivor with myfive dollars ten dollars maximum survivor play each
week and then parlay each week.We'll see if my strategy pays off.
That's right, that's what I did. I did. My favorite play was
five my safety bet and then fiveon on the three teams together that parlay.
(43:38):
Yeah, but you sometimes would takethe spread, you take an over
undert It wasn't always just a flatmoney line, because that might not be
you know, you could wager fivedollars on a heavy favorite and get like
two fifty back. But still it'swhat the safety bet, which you know
it would hit, you'd get I'dbe at like nine to fifty or whatever.
Yeah, and then you're you'd doyour big swing. That's that's how
(44:02):
I won last year. That's soall you're doing, all you're doing is
trying to is copying me. No, no, no, no, mine
is different. I just told youI'm taking money lines. Yeah, yeah,
I did that. Sometimes I didthat. Sometimes you just it's okay,
no, that's right now, notstress said, a lot of people
have been copying me this weekend,or at least my team this weekend,
So I'm alright with it. Ifyou're in a Survival Pool. I'll say
(44:22):
this now in July twenty ninth.If you're gonna do one come September,
Week one's brutal. Good luck.In Week one there's not one game over
a seven spread, one touchdown extrapoint. You might see nine and a
half for Bengals. I take thatback, nine and a half for the
Bengal game. Good you guys allwager on since anay Week one to watch
New England my favorite playing the Weekone beat them knock out half the survival
(44:44):
Pool? How did Toronto get sobad? I'm just looking over the orders
are up seven nothing in the inthe top of the fifth. Some would
say Toronto's bad. Others would sayup, Baltimore's good. Baltimore is a
good team. They're not. They'renot seven nothing top of the fifth good.
That's that's a little bit of both. That's there's some falling down going
on. Is that one of thesethings where the Blue Jays players are like,
(45:06):
and I really think this happens indugouts. Hey, we don't know
if we're getting traded today, sowe don't really care about today's game.
We might not be here tomorrow.We might not be here when there's so
many rumors around a team dealing guysaway. How many guys don't care about
I play your butt off right nowto try and get out of Toronto with
the way they're playing. Some couldhave that mentality. I know some names
of bench guys before they'd say like, hey, it's whoa we might deal
you. We need you to sitfor this game. Yeah. One other
(45:29):
quick local story, by the way, I another third hours on the way.
Just squeeze this and probably should havebeen for the dump, but I'll
sqeez this in here. Fran McCaffrey, I know you had some interactions with
him in the past. The coachone of my favorite, Like random when
I was on the country station,where like he's having a great conversation with
us, the steward just comes byand you hear, no, I will
(45:50):
okay, I know, no,are we leaving right now? No?
Okay? Can I two winutes?Like the lady was telling me to hang
on the phone. He was like, I'm almost done. He was very
polite about it, but it waslike, but it was just a funny
thing because I'm be like, guys, I have to go by politely intense.
I feel like that's the way todescribe it. That's a good compliment.
Politely intense. Yeah. His sonConnor is the one who dates Caitlin
(46:15):
Clark. He played on the Iowabasketball team. So there's a Connor McCaffrey
on the Iowa basketball team. Ijust love this Caitlyn Clark stories. It's
true. Any chance to talk CaitlynClark. There's a Patrick McCaffrey who also
went to Iowa. Okay, youmight know him. There's also another McCaffrey
boy, there's a Jack McCaffrey.I don't know if you were familiar with
(46:37):
him yet, six foot eight Levac. He's designed to play at Butler.
Not playing for his dad. Youfind that weird. Yea. His other
two brothers played for his dad,and he's like, now, I'm not
playing for you, Dad, I'mgoing to but you think like Dad was
like, no, I don't watchyou, I don't need you. A
freak social media that's got three hundredthousand views on social and it was posted
(46:58):
at two o'clock. It's just interestingwhen the other two decide I'm playing for
dad, and the other one's like, no, I'm good, go do
something else. Well, or diddad decide to have the other two play
for him and not wanted this one. I mean again, you have to
you know, everybody always sees itthe other way. Maybe Dad was like,
yeah, I'm good. I don'teven want to get tall freaks on
my team. I like to movefast. You've always been a baby.
(47:19):
Your mom took care just baby toyour whole life. I believe his birth
name is Jonathan too. So thisis a Jonathan jack situation. There's another
one. He's got four kids.Okay, so this is like a Jackson
Beaheim situation. And it's like,wait a second, I thought there was
a Jonathan. There's a jack there'sa Buddy Beyheim. I thought there was
a Jackson bay up. I believethat is his real name, Jonathan,
(47:40):
unless there's a fifth McCaffrey. Thisis what happens when big families look back.
You just start losing track of who'swho. No, well, my
dad never knew who anybody was.By the time I made him mad,
it was. He just screamed onthe hall bath Bill Kevin Teddy, Jeff,
Well you can get over here.Nope, not doing it. You
(48:00):
said my name fifth, I'll showup fifth, thank you. I ain't
taking that eaton. You're about tohave a third one. I am this
is this is the wild part,Like it would be hard to do the
Like the nickname of a name seemsto me like a separate person, like
the the jack John is a toughone, the Buddy Jackson. Like your
(48:22):
nickname is jeff, but you're JeffreeTom Thomas, like those are there's some
that are all over the place.I feel like that it's more for female
names than male names though, right, Peggy isn't Peggy Margaret. My nephew's
father goes by nick. That's hisnickname, but his real name is like
(48:45):
Harlow, Harlow. Yeah, SoI was like, where do you get
nick? Well, nickname. Youcan't do anything off of Harlow. So
you just went nickname. So nickis his nickname? Oh god, that's
yeah, you need it. Won'tcriticize No, No, I'm saying,
like, that's that's that's how farsome people go for the nickname. You
actually just go just pull nick.Like if if I was there's a point
(49:06):
where I was gonna be like you, I was gonna be a third,
I would have went by Trey.You would have went by Trey okayeah the
third because otherwise because Herbie, I'msorry, it's hard enough to get women
now. I don't need that.That's that's that's that would be a problem.
The nickname Junior, I feel likeit's just the guy for this condescending
Yeah, the guy for the sopranos. Oh man, he passed away a
(49:29):
few years ago. You know,the onele June. That's it. That's
it. He said he liked thename Junior till he's in his fifties.
Then he didn't like it anymore.Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.
So. Like well, like likethere's places I walk into this day.
My father passed away in nineteen ninetythree. There are blessings tavern if
I walk in there and there's aregular, a little Herbie, I'm like,
(49:51):
for all, ain't little Tallerny wasmy name, Herbie. He ain't
a thing. He didn't want thatfor me. If God willing, I
have a fourth child and it's aboy, it will be Thomas the Fourth.
So there's no drama around the foeKing Thomas the fold fourth. Well,
you better start getting some good sleepthen. Now, guys, you
should probably call doctor fred Durie andthe Integrated Sleep Center and balls It SPA
(50:15):
five eight eight five six that's fiveeight eight eight five six eighty five.
If you're snoring, that means you'reprobably not sleeping well. If you're snoring
really loud and maybe you stop breathingasleep, that means you most likely have
what is known as sleep avenue.Mine's obstructive sleep avenue. You have a
very large soft palate causes off myairway while I'm sleeping. How you doing?
But not right now? Because Ihave a mouthpiece keeps the airway open,
(50:37):
makes you sleep great. I wokeup this morning, I will oh,
I felt so good, was readyto go because I slept great all
night, the airway open, nohoses, no wires, not a mask.
I'm a I'm a side sleeper,so that would be a problem for
me. Just a mouthpiece keeps thebomb jaw forward a little bit, sleeping
better, simple and easy people stillthis day, does that really work?
(50:58):
Yes? It really works? Fivesix way five. Doctor Fred Dreer and
the Intergrave Sleep Center and Bosston SPAhelp me sleep better. They're gonna help
you sleep better to the third hourof the back and gods, that's right.
Some of you wanted an extra hourof this and it continues to happen.
