Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's love Ak and Guz on the voice of the
Capitol Regions Sports fan Fox Sports ninety five and nine.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All right, tonight Monday Night Football. The how much the
schedule makers just hate their lives in the NFL right now?
Like we can change everything right now? Yet wait, what
really we got? We're gonna have where the Giants and
the Steelers. You know, Steelers are doing well, we have
we have them on Monday Night and then we have
(00:30):
Jets Taxans. We gotta see the Jets on Halloween on Thursday. Yeah, yeah,
you do, no, but I don't want to. That's tough.
Go hang all your kids for change.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You want that ESPN Plus exclusive game? Huh yeah, we do. Well,
We're gonna give you Steelers Giants instead.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Deal Fine, this is uh man, I just I look
at this game and I don't want to believe the
Giants are dead yet right Like I don't. I think
that there's still like a faint bit of hope like
a Monty Python, not dead yet, like just almost there,
(01:10):
like almost have a chance to do it. But I
think they need to win. What is now being I'm
lovely calling the girl with the dragon tattoo bol what
what why, well, you don't know the.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Girl with the Dragon tatto. I remember the movie. I've
never seen it, I know it exists.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Movie starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, who is named
after her. The two families she comes from, the Rooney's
and the and the Mara family Rooney Steelers.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh rise, wow, yeah, yes she is Rooney Mara.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So the Girl with the Dragon tattoo bol so two
of the longest standing, highest regarded families in the NFL.
Toe to toe. The Giants have not looked like that
the Steelers have this year. Steelers have looked great. Consider
the fact that you know Tomlin's out there duck tap
and bubblegum and quarterbacks out of like you know what's
(02:10):
left of Russell Wilson who played great last week? And
Justin Fields Fields allegedly as a hamstring issue, so he's
not even gonna be available tonight. Can Russell Wilson go
out there and do it again against his Giants defense?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yes he can, even though Fields is not available because
of an injury you noted there. Let's let's do the
old school tell of the tape. Remember that he o
boxing the UFC. They'd pull up the graphic, yet fighter
ome inside fighter on the other which it has the
advantage in something better quarterback play, Steelers better running back play,
Steelers better off. I'd say so Nah versus whatever's Tyrone,
(02:48):
Tracy or whatever they're trotting out there. I would give
the eventage right the ball. I would say Steelers wide receivers,
League Neighbors League Neighbors is still a rookie less than
ten games, but he's been Yeah, you know what, slight
edge of the Giants there. Offensive line, slight edge to Pittsburgh.
(03:08):
If we're gonna concede, one will go the other week.
The defenses are dan line probably with the Giants. I'm
doing this whole TJ. Watt versus Lawrence two. Those two
are really good players. So if we're even on some
of those spots across the board, then it comes down
to something else. Comes down a quarterback may heart. It
(03:28):
comes down tonight, tell about heart, which sometimes it does
play a factor. It comes down to the two most
important spots in football, the quarterback position, in the head coach.
If you are a Brian Daveall hater, if you've looked
at Brian Daball and said, why can't this guy do
something in twenty and twenty three. In twenty twenty four,
he got lucky with a soft schedule. He's not that
(03:49):
good of a coach. Tonight's your night. Tonight is your
night because Mike Tomlin could run laps around him. Mike Tomlin,
we did this on when we broke down the Steelers.
Look at the Steelers schedule right now, he'd say a
lot of those games they've either won against inexperienced or
some would argue bad head coaches. Mike Tomlin eighteen years,
(04:10):
always a winning record, super Bowl contender, likely a Hall
of Famer. He's got all those things. Mike Tomlin can
have a game play tonight that can fool Brian Dable,
and if they're that bad, that's your moment, Giant fan,
Look how far away we are the two most important
things on a team, head coaching, quarterback. Tonight might be
your example, and on the other side of it, you
(04:32):
might have to give him credit. Because I think this
is sort of where you're leaning with your take, Levack,
where you and I both believe Brian Dable is a
good coach, and then he knows matchup to matchup talent
versus talent he's got to figure something else out. To
Kaye contention with the Steelers tonight, I would say Pittsburgh wins,
but New York covers. But if New York can win
this game, boy, a lot of different conversations going on
(04:57):
in that office because of what's the future of every
Boddy who's already been protected and how much longer? And
Daniel Jones is the issue. A lot of different things
can happen attitude wise in that locker room, but in
that organization, it feels like a Pittsburgh win Giant cover game.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
For me, how much of Russell Wilson's success last week
was because he was facing the Jets and the Jets
just don't have a heart at all. That's what the
question is for me, because if if Russell Wilson is
cooking again, if Ross can cook well, then sure Steelers
(05:31):
are ready to go because you've got the weapons. Now
you have a quarterback defense. No one's question in their defense.
I can't believe he can. I mean, we started the
first hour of the show. We're talking about quarterbacks who
need to learn to play within themselves. I don't believe
he's learned to play within himself yet, So why would
(05:54):
I believe he can win this game. I still I think.
I think the Steelers defense has carried them very long way.
I don't think the running game is that great. I
don't think Najee Harris is that good. I think he's good,
but I don't think he's what he should be for
where he was drafted and how he's been touted and
(06:14):
singletary motor. He can go, he still go. That's just
in Dale Jones. He'll give you a good game or two.
Every year. He'll give you a couple of good games.
This might be the one. I think you'll see his
legs coming to factor tonight because he can get away
from these guys. You know, if I know TJ Wat's coming,
I might be running. I might I might start running now.
(06:34):
So I think, yeah, I think this is I think
it's a close game. I'm gonna take the Giants. I
definitely think Malice Neighbors shows up. I think he's I
think he's that guy who when he knows the lights
are on, he's gonna take. He's gonna enjoy that. He's
gonna push harder.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Now you said take the Giants. I want to get
a little clarification there. Take the Giants to cover, Take
the Giants to win. Obviously they win, they cover, But
are you going in the same world that I am
that they'll keep it close, but Pittsburgh wins the actual game.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I'm gonna take the points because I can, you know,
but I I won't be shocked at all if they win. Wow,
because again this is typical Giants, Like, this is what
they do. They you lose all hope in them and
then they come back and do something cool. That's what
That's how they've been for years now.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It feels like what also has clouded this picture a
little bit for me involving this Giant matchup with Pittsburgh
is the matchup with Seattle because going to that matchup
with Seattle, remember, Seattle at that point looked to be
the at least at that point seatle is playing the
best football in the NFC West, looked like to be
a division winner in New York was embarrassingly bad, and
New York dominated that game.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, but that wasn't because of New York, uh.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And that's what makes this game hard tonight for me
because it's like, I've thought New York played well and
then I remember I'm like, wait a second, the New
York team that fumbled at the one yard line. The
Seattle team that's banking on Geno Smith and backup running
backs and couldn't stop a nosebleed against Buffalo. Like maybe
Seattle has been caught up to maybe the Mike McDonald's
first few games of everything else they they figured out,
(08:05):
because Seattle's been all over the place this season. So
that's what makes me re wonder this game too.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
About who Seattle played the week before they played the
They played the Lions. They played the Lions, Man Campbell hangover.
You can't ride with Man Campbell and expect to be
able to play good football the next day. Just doesn't work,
all right, No, I, That is the scary part is
when you look at they had nothing off for the Bengals,
they had nothing off for the Eagles, and and those
(08:31):
like we're starting to see the Eagles are coming alive.
Like Eagles. That that pass from Jalen Hurts to Devonte
Smith was a laser beam. Well it was catching or
being paialed by it is what happened. But like they
just you know, the tush push and everything, and then
the Bengals are good They're not bad right now. They're good.
(08:52):
They're a good football team. They're not as good as Philadelphia.
But Dallas is trash. They lost to Dallas. They beat Cleveland.
Know Cleveland's trash like that, that does make me nervous.
In order for the Giants to win this game, we
need to see something out of them we haven't seen yet,
and that's competent offense and complimentary offense.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Let me throw this wild scenario at you, and Giant fan,
you can let us know at the JAF Flovaco on Twitter,
at Tom Ghnes, TMGs.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Easy.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Let's say the Giants are a little better than Let's
let's take your take, right. The Giants have these moments
where they actually look like a contender, they look like
a better team than before. And oh no, let's say
when we do power rankings tomorrow, God Dave Hellman, I
would say, off the top of my head, the Giants
are better than Panthers, Titans, Jets, Patriots. They're better than
(09:44):
four of those teams. And the reason I bring that
up is because all four of those teams could be
looking at quarterbacks and I don't want to do the
April thing. You're gonna see where I'm going here. In
the second, let's say the Giants are better than those
four teams. The Patriots already got a quarterback. We know
what they could do, right, bring this up, because what
do you think the likelihood of that the twenty twenty
five New York Giant quarterback is on the field tonight?
(10:06):
And I got three options? I know, Fields is Hurt Fields,
Wilson Jones. Which one of those is most likely to
be the quarterback for the New York Giants in twenty
twenty five?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
From those options, Jones okay, because it's not going to be,
I mean, which is funny because hold on there, I
just remember there was a point where I made the
comment of if you're the Giant, should you will get
Justin Fields here? And you said no, so because again
I don't I don't see a monumental difference between Dale
(10:40):
Jones and Justin Fields. I just they're both mobile, they're
both turnover prone. Justin Fields is probably a little bit better,
a little bit. But if Daniel Jones basically which every
one of them, learns how to read a defense beyond
the second and read it would be the better quarterback?
(11:03):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Timing and I'm not saying time in the sense of
passing a football to an open receiver. I'm like timing
of when they hit the market. I'm with you because
Justin Field's a little bit younger, little bit more athletic.
But the passing game, it's a coin flip fifty to fifty.
I'll give it to Jones on this take. But is
it because Justin Fields hit free agency at the wrong
time and the Bears moved on from him because of
(11:24):
the Panther pick and Jones hid it because the Giants
didn't want to reload the team and thought it's worth
running back one more time to see if the potential
lives up to it. But if you're Justin Fields, you're
not doing another one year rental contract. However, if you're
Russell Wilson, you might, Hey, Justin Fields is gonna do
the one year thing. Next year, they're gonna draft a rookie. Hell,
(11:46):
they might take Daniel Jones. This is a scenario that
could realistically happen. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Daniel Jones, Russell
Wilson becomes the quarterback for the Giants in twenty five,
and they got to figure out their quarterback position for
TWI or it's a very Look, it's not crazy to
think that any of that could happen. They've all, as
(12:07):
you mentioned, Lavac, all have been talked about before as
a potential starter. If I had to make the case,
good gosh, I want to say, Wilson's so bad, he's
played one game. Daniel Jones stinks. Oh man, you're right,
it's Jones.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You know what could be?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I wanted it to be somebody else, but I how.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
What about Zach Wilson? What about Sam Donald?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay, Donald's number one, but the Donald contract is going
to be higher than all the other ones we just said,
So if you had to make a choice, Donald would
be the one because he's a veteran. He's gonna command
a lot in free agency. Again, we're playing off if
the Giants are out of the top five. I know
there's a lot of what ifs in the scenario set
up there, Yes, but Donald would be the one. Zach Wilson,
(13:01):
Oh my gosh, I'd probably run the tires as a
backup on Zach Wilson. And it's the for totally the
wrong reason for the Hey, the Jets suck right now?
He wasn't that bad?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Was he? Like?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I'm starting to how can someone get better when everything
else that they used to come from got worse. That's
a weird correlation. But freeing try.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Free agent QB's next year, Sam Donald, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance,
Trey Lance, were never gonna give another chance?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Pass he stinks? No, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Jacoby Brissette, Taylor Heinege, Marcus Mariota, Drew Locke.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Will you have him? If you want me, you'll keep him.
Jared Stidham, No, on Stidham. Heineke should have gotten a
better agent two years ago. The fact that he was
not the starter for the whole time over Desmond Ridder
is now laughable. Who is the one ahead of Heineke?
You said, Joey Ressett. I would say he's not. But boy,
(13:54):
he's got an interesting next few weeks here to depend
how hurt may.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Is, Jameis Winston, Mac Jones bait, Wait, wait, what do
you do?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Why do you do that to me? To Jamis Winston?
You know I love Jamis. I love Jamis. They won great,
great motivational speeches. New York would love. No, they wouldn't,
darn it. I want to say New York would love Jamis.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
No, they wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Okay, re rank Sam Donald's one, Jameis Winston's two. Daniel
Jones would be three on that list for me. By
the way, if you gave me Donald, Winston or Jones,
I'd take Donald. I'd take Winston over Jones. I bet
I'm willing to say that. The Winston Jones thing is
(14:39):
almost laughable of how how many gosh Winston's been in
the league ten years, though Jones has been in the
league six. Yeah, I think Jones would be third on
my list for me there, hold on, though Wilson could
move up the list tonight with a good showing.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know what. Mac Jones is interesting, the Mac Daddy.
Why because Brian Dabble was the offensive coordinator quarterback coach
twenty seventeen, the same year that Mac Jones started going
to Alabama. Yeah, but he would have been part of
recruiting Mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I'm trying to do the quick Yeah, okay, the recruiting
thing that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He would have been together for the first year.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, because I was trying to do the math in
my head, I'm like, when did Mac Jones actually play?
Because he sat behind two and Hurts and he was
good in the COVID year I think was twenty twenty. Yeah, gosh,
it was so bad for the Patriots. There's a lot
of the there's so many rumors from Boston though about
like whether that's mac Jones's attitude or how he carried
himself or his Belichick or he had to be sort
(15:36):
of the one to follow Brady.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I'm just saying there's options. Well, and we were talking earlier.
I mean, you got there. There could be quite a
few quarterbacks coming out this year, and there's there's some
that are gonna trickle down to that second third round
that have the talent. And if I've got a guru
like Dable and I've got talent, I might be able
to put those new things together. And now you know,
(16:03):
calm accord goes from Syracuse to the Giants and works.
You know, baby could be Look what I did there.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I just said which quarterbacks the most likely to be
on the Giants and we pulled out a lot better options.
Giant fan, watch the game or listen to what do
we appreciate if you listen to it. Our sister station
picks one oh six. Have those in the back of
your mind while you're watching the game tonight, can you
pull off the outset of Pittsburgh? Can you see other quarterbacks?
Quarterback in the team? Do you want Russell Wilson in
New York?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Did you have a minivan here today? No? I didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:36):

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I have a tease for you coming up in about
twenty minutes that I got a recording from someone that
might be the thirty worst seconds you've ever heard in
the history of this show. That's coming up later on.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Can we do that next?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
You want to do it next?
Speaker 2 (18:16):

next Fox Sports Radio ninety.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's Lovak and guzz on the voice of the Capitol
Regions sports fan Fox Sports ninety five to nine and
nine eighty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Live and the GT Toys to do that choice with a Z.
It is Lavack and Guys on this Monday, sun is shining.
Gets a little cool out there, Jack Frost getting ready
to nip of that nose. Stay with my nose. Jack,
you you mentioned something. Somebody have a voice? What do
you have?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, it's an interesting day here in the history of
the Lavac and Guys show, because, uh, Lavac, this is
the first time on a weekday my birthday has fallen
on the day of the show.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
This is interesting here birth there.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yes, thank you. Uh, I don't know in the last
time this happened, maybe twenty nineteen, maybe twenty twenty. I
don't know the last time it fell on a weekday. Yeah,
it did in twenty twenties. They stumbled to try to
figure out that stet. But it's very nice because I
got a wonderful message from Missus Greenwood's class, which I
believes in the Tamarack district. She left a very nice message.
(19:20):
So here's this message over for missus Greenwood's second grade class.
What are a wonderful message?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That was really nice?
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Was that really nice?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I was touched by that. Shout out to their teacher,
mister McGrath there who had his students do that today.
I's like, wow, that was like a really nice thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And you know those kids don't know who you are.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well that that part and I don't disagree with it all,
but that's not the point of that. And thank you
for that. And you got on the air because that.
But something else happened today. And let me let me
pre warn you by this. We've been doing the show
for a long time. I received a message today on
my birthday, the day of my birth thirty five five
years ago, that I will consider that what you're about
(20:04):
to hear could be the thirty five seconds of the
worst sound you've ever heard. Now, I brace you before
it comes on that I hope you can make it
all the way through all thirty five seconds. I was
left a Christmas I'm not Christmas a birthday message from
a listener. I believe she goes by Cornelius.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Cornelius is a woman's name.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Cornelius is a woman's name. Here is a thirty five
second birthday message from a listener by the name of Cornelius. Hi,
this is Cardellias.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I just want to say, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Hang on fifteen more seconds.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I warned you. You were warned.
That was a birthday message from our listener named Cornelius.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So no more taking Corey's nuts, because look what it
makes them sound like.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
We told you, Cory, we told you years ago, you
gotta stop calling us a woman into the show.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Especially, Cornelius is not a woman's name, like it's it's
I mean, it's not even the name anybody use anymore.
But it's not a woman's name.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
We know it's you. Oh so obviously you said it
from your profile that said your.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Name on it. They'll never figure this one out and
they'll never know it's me.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I'll say Cornelius, and I'll sing as a woman to guys.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
It was me all the time, Goslawski.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Do you know it was me?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Guys? You know he's got a text that I want
to say, Thank you, Corey. I know the intent was
good for you to sing for a woman for me.
I think the intention was good. Well, thank you, or
there's a dream that you can help them realize. And
you listening right now, you didn't think it'd be the
worst thirty five seconds and the history of the show.
I think it was you want it again?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
No, no, I don't just you want it again.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Let's make that as a policy here. I know a
lot of people are doing some controversial things that we
get closer and closer eight days away from the election.
Can we make a policy on this show that that
will be the last time we take a call as
a man impersonating a woman on the air. Yeah, I'm
f I'm fine with that, even if it involves a
wonderful birthday message.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh no, I think we just if it sounds like that,
we probably just don't do it.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
What about a female impersonated a male on the air?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Listen if it's good, it's good. That was creepy, Like
that was scary. Like there was Margot Kidder who was
the original lowis Landing movies. She was in a horror
movie called Black Christmas, and she's a sorority girl and
(23:20):
they they're getting these prank phone calls, right, so the
guy's like doing that voice like yeah, Cornelius and she's like, yeah,
that's that's the voice, and she goes off on them,
Oh yeah, well you're a limp blah blah blah bla
blah blah blah, and the guy goes so it sounds
like that, and then all of a sudden, I'm gonna
(23:42):
bleep and kill you like in a normal voice. That's
all I can think of when I hear that, And
that's that is that movie, and that's that's the movie
where like the yeah, right, so that into I'm Gonna
kill you guys?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Is that Scream screen based on that scene the opening
scene of screen.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Like, well, scream is based on all horror movies, but
that's the that's the first like we've traced the call.
The call is coming from in the house.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
That's that movie.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, you see the door open behind her.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
The way you set that up makes it seem awesome.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's one of the best turnarounds, like like, oh, yeah,
what are you gonna do? I'm gonna like when the
guy who goes normal voice, it's just like, yeah, that's creepy.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I wish I had the capabilities. I wish I had,
like to go on social media. Maybe somebody driving when
he did that.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He was probably the tractor.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Is that the.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah? Can you imagine the couser sitting there going, what
the hell's wrong with?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I wish I had the capabilities on social media to
like have that scene you're talking about and then just
play that underneath.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
It, just the whole scene, no audio and just that
stab staff, staff, stab staff.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
And scene. Thank you Cory or Cornelius whoever?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
All right? Right, right, right right? Yeah? Yeah, definitely not Cory.
Oh you know you share your birthday with Julia, the
Ohio State fan from up at.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yes, so hello Corey?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Easy?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Sure what that button wants?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Ah? When your birthday thing possed up my Facebook? It's
you and me doing the show, but it's also us
with Pete Rose.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Ah man, Uh jeez.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, we do you take more pictures?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Did you hear this report? I know we just talked about, uh,
you know, we just talked about the Steelers and Giants scheme.
There's a hey, by the way, what is his name?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Jordan Raanan Ronan run On? Is he changing his life?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Is this? I believe it? But everybody calls him so
different and he never crracks anyone. He doesn't mind as
long as you don't call him to say you're taking
a poop. He doesn't call it, don't.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Jordan r As if he's in preschool now?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Reported earlier today, and it's getting more attraction now that
there won't be a quick hook on Daniel Jones tonight
memory in reference to Drew Locket end of the game
last time. Maybe we didn't touch on that enough there
and our Giant Steelers breakdown? Should there be like, should
there be a quick cook on Daniel Jones tonight?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Do you think Drew Locke his future? No? Do you
think Tommy DeVito is the future? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
No? No, no, hang out, hang out. No, But I've
seen Tommy DeVito play better than Drew Locke is a
giant Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Point? Do you want to win a game without your
future quarterback in plays? Okay? A look.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
If she's by that, you mean so there's no benefit
of benching him? Is that you're?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Well? Yeah, what he either works through it and proves
to be a franchise quarterback and then you're good you
figure it out, or he doesn't work through it and
you're better off losing because those Tommy DeVito wins last
year were the ditching you, having Milik neighbors and drag may.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
So Tommy DeVito sitting there like man, I thought I
played well, so like right around Christmas, wasn't I or
Christmas time? I know it is Christmas time when de
Vito started to play poorly. Because my dad and my
brother in law are both giant fans, and I bought
them for Christmas the Tommy cutlet shirt, and I was
so happy. I thought it was such an awesome gift.
(27:37):
It was at when I bought it. It was awesome.
Christmas Day didn't feel as good when they opened. I
thought they still have it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I just saw the greatest Facebook post. It's a picture
of a father and son and they're wearing Kansas City
gear and the kid goes dad, what's loyalty? I don't
know the son. I've a limited a Chiefs fan. This
is twenty fifteen, so true, so true.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Have you ever heard my take about that? Well, now
that we've got some time here in the fablic clack
are do you know my rules about changing your team?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
You can't change the team.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I have three rules. I did not think we're gonna
go here. Save this for the Archives. The three Rules
Gods is three rules on changing your team I'm talking
about I'm saying this off here about my friend Nick
and Syracuse who calls into the show. It's a big
Jet fan. He wants to be done with the Jets.
He says, you know, I've wanted to get out of
this relationship. I can't. He's say, no, no, you can't.
He's like, no, no, no. Now his rule is ten that
(28:37):
after ten years old, if you've picked a team, you
can't change it. Now. That's his own rule. I think
that's when he picked being a Jet fan. I don't
think that is a rationale to it. I don't know
if there's a certain age, because some people might find
a sport when they're later in life. Maybe you weren't
a football fan or a basketball fan. You can pick
your team later on in life. I think there's three
rules to get off it though, the Gods rules. Rule
number one, they're the three r's lavac ole. Number one
(29:01):
is relocation. Okay, let's say, for instance, you live in
Buffalo for most of your life and you move to Jacksonville. Yes,
let's say you're a Bills fan your whole life. You
live in Buffalo for whatever reason, your job, your wife,
life takes you to Jacksonville. Hey, you're now a Jacksonville resident,
you root for the home team. Hey, I'm not a
(29:22):
Jaguar fan because I live in Jacksonville. The better than
Jangs do for me, better it does for my business.
So you're allowed to change your team if you relocate.
That's colleges whatever. Rule Number one, really the order doesn't matter,
it's just the ours. Relocation is one. Number two is relative.
If you have a relative on the team, a brother,
a sister, a cousin, and uncle. If they've played for
(29:46):
the team, or they are about to play for the team,
or they're on the team, you can root for that team.
So relocation relative, and I think the one that plays
the biggest factor for some people. Number three revenue. If
you're an employee of that team, if they sign your
paid checks, you've taken a job to work for them,
or the benefit of that team benefits you financially, and
(30:09):
you're well being nine to five revenue, you are allowed
to switch and root for that team. Now that does
not count Way Dreama on that team. No, you can
of the team for that day, Yes, just for that day.
But those are the three rules of changing your favorite teams?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Oh you want to? I think a violation, like a
violation of your trust is a fan. Like if the
Raiders had traded DeVonta Max Crosby and drafted Shador Sanders,
I would I wouldn't be done with them, but I
would pack all my Raiders stuff up and I would
not be a Raiders. Fanni Sanders was gone. Okay, like
(30:45):
when yeah, like when when you said relocation, I thought
of the Mayflower moving trucks. Oh like they relocated. Okay,
well now whatever, So I would go geography instead of
relocation because like you relocate, they relocate. Or what if
a brand new franchise homes in your backyard?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
That's very true. Those are those are good ones. The
other two I would add, like I know a lot
of people root for teams for athletes. I have no
problem with you rooting for the athlete, like as long
as you own it. Like I had a friend who
loved Doug FLUTEI loved Doug Flutie. That was his guy.
So he was he was he was a Bills fan.
And then Fluty finished his career, I believe with the Chargers,
(31:26):
so he became a Charger fan because Flutie was playing
for the Chargers, And I'm like, I'm not going to
give you a grief for that. I think we've gone
to a point where like you can root for a
team and a player. I think we've entered that world
now where you can do that too.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I thought when you said violation you meant an actual crime,
because I'm gonna give you a pass on that one too. Like,
if you're a fan of a team do to the Browns, right,
If you're a female fan of the Cleveland Browns and
you don't want to root for him anymore, I'm not
gonna give you grief. Right, you can get off that
if you want.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
When when the Yankees signed Armando Benitez, like he was
so anti Yankee when he was with with your Orioles,
Like he hit Paul O'Neil on the back and Artino
in the back and all I was like, I don't
want that, dude. I don't want him on my team.
So what I would do is when he would get up,
I'd leave the room. He come out of the pitch,
I'd leave the room.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Chatman was like that for some Cubbs fans absolutely Kaepernick's
a little different. That's not a but look, if you
didn't want to root for the Niners after Ramon is
a guy that Herman's way better want that was I
felt weird about him.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I didn't know how to feel about him, so I
did is. I avoided that that situation, all right?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Do you think those just solid rules?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I think they could do what you want like that.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I like those right, I mean, I mean, like literally,
at the end of the day, you're a grown damn person.
Do what you want. Because your boyfriend or girlfriend likes
the team is not a good enough reason.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Now because you feel like it because.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
They lose for a while not a good enough reason.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
You know what I liked the idea of and I
think it was Jesse on social media. I believe our
guy Junior on w GU I did this too, if
you were going to switch your team. And Sean Martin,
by the way, a local writer as well. The oakland
As have left, but I think his fell in that
category of relocation things like that. If you are going
to change your team, I want a public announcement. I
(33:12):
want to I want to post on social media. Those
guys did that. I've decided to leave this tea like
as if they're like opted out. So I'm out, you
know what. I don't like it, but I'm okay with
a public declaration of I'm no longer rooting for this team,
as if you're like an airport, you're announcing your departure.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
No, because that's what Firemanhead did. I'm not I'm okay
with that either, all.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Right, not like Fireman Ead like other people.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
All right, let's let's just we have with the dump
coming up, but we've been saving stuff for it, so
it's no longer the dump. It's the grand finale. Oh
all right, this is coming up next right here. Fox
Sports Radio ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
It's Avakan guzz On ninety five nine, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
We always caraw this the dump because it was like
whatever it was left. But we find ourselves like being
stuff to the end, so it's it's not anymore. I
just saw this story. Did you see Jeff Vinnick he
sold the majority share of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
I did not hear this.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
He sold it his He sold his share of the
Lightning for one point eight billion dollars. Of that money,
twenty million went to bonuses for full time members of
Vinix Sports Group. Reportedly, each of those workers was told
they'd be receiving somewhere between fifty and sixty six thousand
(34:32):
dollars in recognition of their hard work and dedication. Oh
my gosh, what a moment. Wow. How much do you
think Mike, Andy and Richie could get for the Firebirds?
I'm just I'm just spitballing here, just spitballing here.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Somewhere an accountants, like, here's what we're gonna do these
at actually charities, they've all been set up.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I mean, I mean, come on, well, and the gift
in that range, I think you can do like a
one time tax free gift for like fifty K.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
So I don't know what I would like to say.
It's in the goodness of their heart. I believe it's
in the goodness of their heart. What an amazing moment.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
For those is if you want to hand me sixty
six K, we're good. That's why'd you do it? Because
I hate you and I want you money corrups. Okay, cool,
I'll work on that.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I don't know of her. I'll say her name because
I think she might work for him. I'll say her.
Her name is Sarah Costello. So Sarah and I started
working with each other right after college. She was the
Oh my gosh, I think she got that money today.
She worked for him, the owner of the Lightning show.
Work for the I believe. So she worked for the
Syracuse Crunch and then got promoted to the Tampa Bay
Lightning and her original job this shows you the most
(35:40):
college gigs ever. She would have to go outside and
pick up the T shirts every week. So, like you know,
I think she's got like this big cool job. I'm
working for an AHL team, I'm working for the NHL.
I'm working for the owner. We need you to go
outside and pick up the T shirts. And when there's
the line for autographs, you're the the autograph usher. This
(36:01):
poor girl probably went to school for four years, top
of her class, doing all the internships. Sir, sir, you
gotta put the beard out. But I think she got paid.
So if there's a list of employees, I think one
might be named Sarah Hostella and I need to call her.
If that's the case. Well, I also haven't talked to
her in years. All right, what do you got well
(36:23):
that I told you earlier in the show. Been a
good good day for me for some of my takes,
some of her agent like fine wine today. You heard my.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Over the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I haven't cashed a lot of wagers today, but boy,
I've had some bad takes in the history of this
I might have three in a row that have felt
good today. The Commander one that our R and R
take about changing your team, and my living person statue take.
Have you seen the Dwayne Wade say? I know you
have because you mentioned it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
The problem with this statue is that Dwayne Wade's alive.
I had the problem with the statues. It looks terrible.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Allegedly, and I'm gonna put out allegedly. They did a
post statue press conference. I shared it at Tom Goss too.
I'm Jo's easy where they interviewed at the guys.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Poor guy's taking a tough loss today up in the
podio like five year olds.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
And now from Missus Campbell's kindergarten. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
I watched the Miss Rachel video, thought I knew what
I was doing. Seemed like it was going well. Uh,
there's a video out there from Dan LeBatard and Rachel
Nichols that are claiming that Dwayne Wade was a part
of the process, Like I would assume he would be
because they're making the statue of the guy. And you
reference this earlier in the show about the people who
make the bus for the Hall of Fame. They're like
(37:37):
carving it up and do it up that Dwayne Wade
must have been there. By the way, what's the bad
part about showing the person first? Like what if they
showed Dwayne Wade and Dwayne's.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Like, guys, I don't I don't know, man, that's right.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
I don't think it looks like me that much, to
be honest, can't they show him first?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
This means they should.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
This is why it's gotta stop. I have no problem
with statues, but living people's statues are weird, and now
is Dad.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
We wouldn't notice it isn't anything like him.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
There's a difference between a bus like a oh boy,
I don't know if I want to go down this lane.
I was gonna say, there's a lot of difference between
a full human statue and just the floating head. Am
I right? No, No, I'm not. They're both actually kind
of weird.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
You have to wait to get your statue till you're dead.
I'm okay with that stance.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I'll stand on that. I'll stand on that hill. Statue statues,
I don't so.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Much mind the statue in You're alive. I don't. I
don't really care where any other. If you're important enough,
you get a statue, but it should look like you.
Like there's ways to do it, like the all the
Hall of Fame and Canton bus they look like the
dude like, there's this one, there's the Cristiano Ronaldo one.
There's like a bunch of them out there. There's just like,
what are we doing? Like did they like, listen, you're
(38:58):
never gonna see Dwayne Wade. We're gonna describe him to you,
and then you're gonna go ahead and make it. Okay cool,
Why can't I just see him? We think this will
be funnier when it looks like the grown baby mask
from Halloween.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
There are certain skills like North Carolina. I like North
Carolina basketball has rules of here's how you get your
number retired. If you're in the Player of the Year
in the country, your numbers never worn again. Okay, they
got rules for this, all right. Oklahoma football, Florida football,
Alabama football, you're a coach who wins the national champion statue,
Oklahoma Florida Heisman Trophy statue. Okay. I kind of like
(39:35):
the idea of setting standards for statues. If we're gonna
go down the line of living people with statues, you're
taking the more common take. Have it looked like the person.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I've seen scary movies where they make a fake Don
ricklehead and you can't tell the difference of the fake
head of the real head when they hit it with
a bat. Someone should start hitting this Dwayne Wade statue
with a bat and see if they can make it
look like Dwayne Wade because it looks nothing like Dwayne Wade.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
You know what I loved, And I hope more people
go to see this, and I don't. I feel like
the damage has been cleaned up from twenty twenty because
we saw it before the damage hit during the riots.
I loved the College Football Hall of Fame setup.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
It was cool.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
It was so cool. It's like virtual and you could see,
like you could pull up whatever athlete you wanted and
see their stats and it looked like them and there's
no like, does he look like him? Doesn't he look
like because baseball's got the the plaques as well. That
usually no one ever con explains about the plaques, unless
it's the hat they're wearing in the plaque, because then
there's a little controversy there. I don't know if the
Pro the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame and see National
(40:34):
Basketball Hall of Fame, I don't know what they've done.
I think they've gone virtual too, but no more statue.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
What does New York State broadcasters do?
Speaker 3 (40:42):
I don't know. I don't think it's I'm not you
should record.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
HI. I'm Jevalavac and that's it. That's all it is.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
I don't know if it's a living place. I thought
I was in New York City. That is hysterical, though,
could you imagine?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
AI? Yeah, you just walked through that triggers everything. You're like, well,
you know, Sewan or Richie has got it. Hi, we're
sewn and Richie. We used to get along great, then
we didn't. Now we do again.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Have you heard my commander's take from twenty twenty four?
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Hi, out of Tom guys last KI, we're never getting again?
What are you talking about? We're never getting that. No
one likes us.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Just thinking about Joe Gallagher, who might be on that
list somewhere. Gallagher thinking about Marge and the weird character.
I love the idea of radio and television people's AI
existing in some weird place. No, you know, I keep
saying these things. I actually hate that just as much.
I don't need to be haunted by ghosts. I don't
need ghosts.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Which is a recording of our books. Let's say you
know the hallway at the mothership at ESPN where you
get every fight song, it should be in the hallway,
and here you hit this button.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
It's just like let's say, let's say Jim Gaglary the
Ghost Standard.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
And you knew I'd be in the hall This just did.
I was really great, Priscene. You may continue your dour today,
but you can't get anything better than what you just did.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Write that down, Ed Levine. I believe Bob Morgan, our
new boss, is on the committee. Put this next time
you're talking and be like, hey, Bob, I know you've
got a big influence for the New State Broadcasters Hall.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Yeah, I'm not gonna do That's I'm not doing.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
What are your thoughts on AI? The show's over the back.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
We have to leave, all right, Wash your hands, don't
touch your face. It's Fox Sports Radio ninety GT Toy Studio.
We're leaving, guys. Whenever you're ready to go ahead, hit
that buddy,
