It's time for the Top four fourwith Levac and Guz four. Please tell
her to stop yelling. Uh,whatever you do, I'm gonna laugh right
whether it's loud, whether it's soft, whether it's obnoxious. The four.
When you listen to the vat God'sTop four four, it's the four guys
giggle and then sports stores. That'sthe Top four four. It's brought to
(00:24):
by Molkhana where they always go outof their way to please you guys.
The fourth biggest story. Please andif you keep it down a little bit,
that'd be great. You haven't hada chance to react to some stories
here in the Major League Baseball world. Blake Snell and Garrett Cole saw young
ward winners showing ya wait till theone two in the rotation next year,
Shoe Otani and Ronald the Kunya Juniorunanimous send vps and the ALE and NL
(00:48):
side. Any reaction to that,I think maybe you already told me that
you want. Blake Snell's a Yankeeyou want. I remember he was so
I was so frustrated and annoyed withhim during the Rona he was the Rona
bro. But like now that it'sin hindsight, I just think it'd be
fun to have him popping off andthen he's such a he's such an opposite
of Cole but by like the thingsthat like probably matter to them. But
(01:11):
at the same time, they're bothlike that angry pitcher. So it'd be
fun to watch that, and youknow, hey man back to back Cy
Young. I don't know if that'sever I don't know if it's ever happened
before, where you have the youhave the raining Cy Young of your your
league, and then you sign theCy Young of the other league. Like
I don't know if I don't know. I didn't look it up. I
didn't even google it. Did theYankees? Oh no, he's always in
(01:33):
the American League, as did theYankees do that with Roger Clemons. But
he's a red Sock and a BlueJay. Correct, you are korrect.
I don't know. I really don'tknow. No, I don't I don't.
I don't know that it's happened.And I don't know who would have
been the guy for the Yankees beforethat. So but I just it would
be cool. You have both,you have you have you know two Cy
Young's on the team, the rainingCy Youngs are both on the team.
(01:56):
I think we're cool, Randy John, I'm gonna think about this for the
rest of the show on Twitter atTom gos Broke. Who in the history
of baseball want a Cy Young inthe National League at the American League and
then flipped over to the other leaguethe following season. Well, not just
that, I was saying, itended up on the same team as the
other as the other side Young,tell us right now, tell us find
(02:21):
the information computers restart. I can'teven google it. I can't even google
it. I have no issues that. Uh yeah, the m VP like
Coune Junior. I love that guy. He's playing ball right now. He's
playing in the Winter League. LikeIt's all the dude does is play baseball.
It's all he ever does. Taideserved it this year. He was
He was an MVP this year whenhe was healthy. Do you want to
say something you weren't able to say? I'm the old four letter Network about
Ronald the Coneya junior. Uh Akomatata A take that I said it anyway,
(02:46):
you stopped. I didn't. Someguys said it was racist that I
said that. I was like,are you even mind I'm sure that I've
said things that could be misconstrued asracist. If that's on the list,
there's a problem. I'd also likethat in the Baseball and Talk, Mike
go on to for a little bittill we hit the Winter beatings, and
I saw we haven't acknowledged this personspeaking about social media knowledge. I'm waving
(03:06):
my finger like Rafael Palmarrow here inthe studio. You justin Latta from Cleveland
Baseball Insider. I saw what youtried to do. You try to provoke
an Arizona Fall League discussion before itwas all said and done. No,
no, no, championship is done. I saw what happened, and I'm
glad that ended the whimper that wasthe Arizon. I didn't know how to
(03:28):
one up when I actually got yourwife to do the voice work for it,
so it got a little Yeah,that was pretty cool. Maybe it's
over forever. That's pretty cool.I enjoyed that. That's a very important
thing. Story Number three here isthe NBA In Season Tournament tonight. It
includes the New York Knicks taking onthe Washington Wizards Jordan Poole, and there's
(03:49):
other matchups including the Hornets and Bucks, Hawks, Sixers, Cavaliers, Pistons,
Raptors and Celtics, Kings, Spurs, Bulls, Magic, Nuggets,
Pelicans. There's so many games.I don't want to make one just over
riding statement because we're getting closer andcloser group play. But I only feel
like there's one question that can sumup a lot of these matchups tonight,
especially for these teams that are fightingto get into group play Levac, for
(04:13):
a lot of these teams in theNBA tonight, do you feel like it's
a must win you get I comehere, You come in here and you
run into my fist. You arenot worthy of me getting up and chasing
you. You come in here,I'm gonna hold my arm out straight and
you run into my fist. Getin here and do that. That's your
punishment. I I want you topunch yourself with my fist. That's what
(04:34):
I want. Must win. Here'sa crap, a rudy poop. No
one it's the end season tournament.No one cares they might miss group play.
Good, Like, what does thateven mean? Stupid? Dumb?
(04:55):
I hate this thing so much.It is the dumbest thing, so dumb,
it's not run right I don't evenknow what nice they're playing group play,
just stupid. Yeah, must win. I got your must win right
here. Show your mouth when you'retalking to me. We're gonna whimper here
to story number two. I don'tneed any rebuttals there. You've run it
(05:15):
into my fest right now. Collegefootball action this weekend. Let's talk about
the action that's gonna air right hereon this station. Well, not really
our station, our sister station WGYwill have the action this weekend when Syracuse
takes on Georgia Tech. Pregame coveragegets underway at seven, kickoff set for
eight o'clock. What will air onthe station is back to back coaches shows.
You look at the Dno Baber's CoachesShow, you get the Adrian Austry
(05:38):
Coaches Show, So you get doublecoaches on Saturday morning on wofx SO Syracuse
Georgia Tech, eight o'clock local action. How about you already Great Danes taking
on big matchup. A lot ofplayoff implications there, Union playing Delaware Valley,
shout out to them in some Toptwenty five matchups and some teams the
(05:59):
vac I gotta save it for theplay the day. There's a lot of
matchups this week that I really like. Potentially, if you're not someone who
wagers on games, you might besurprised about how do we even call it
the people in the desert anymore?Because so many people who wager on games
will just say have feelings about somematchups. But let's focus on the Great
Danes here one o'clock kickoff set.And by the way, you just said
(06:21):
people in the desert, So yes, we apparently we do still say that.
What's the better way to phrase it? I don't know. I don't
know. I think it's all rightbecause a lot of lines still come from
Vegas, right, because we can'tdo a lot of the overseas wagering,
so it's not like we're using theBritish lines. Though. The British they'll
they bet on wild stuff, likeI I do want to actually be able
(06:44):
to bet the things they do,like they'll bet like who was gonna win
the Game of Thrones? And youknow, will gods get punched in the
face for saying must win? They'lltake those bets. Football Rugby Papa Pig
finales? Yeah, will pap apig pass away in the finale? Is
that? God? Plus it's plustwo hundred plus money. Yeah, it's
(07:05):
plus money. It's not the favorite. Gosh, I didn't think about that
though, tough. I don't knowwhat the Brits know about us. But
that's the college football takes we havethere for you. Uh, we'll save
those for more for later in thishour. So the Michigan News involving your
team that you like, Levac aswell. Oh my god, yeah,
all right, sorry, something amazingjust happen. I'll tell you after,
(07:27):
Okay, I'll tell you. Well, I'll tell you what you're doing.
Go ahead, I'm sorry. It'sa week eleven in the NFL. It
is story number one Week eleven action. The Giants take on the Commanders,
and you could hear that action alsoon our sister's station, Picks one o
six noon coverage a one o'clock kickoffset for that game. And then later
on it's the Bills and the Jets. It's a four thirty window game,
so check out that game. Brocsand Vikings in primetime, Eagles and Chiefs.
(07:50):
The Super Bowl rematches on a Mondaynight. But those New York teams
again, Jets and Bills, andthen you get the Giants and the Commanders
Levac. We had a great breakeach slated games. Last week six was
the final number of games that endup game winning field goals. Yes,
sir, this week a lot moredouble digit spreads. But if you want
to enjoy the action with us,the places, rivers, Casino and resort
eleven to one as we give youour full NFL preview breakdown the games,
(08:13):
the matchups, the playoff scenarios,the wagers and more injury reports fantasy but
a look at this on a Friday. Any games jumping down to you for
this weekend for all the just justthe NFL, just a storyline. Maybe
you're watching a matchup that I knowwe got fantasy versus Reality coming up here
in a bound a little less thanten minutes. But anything else about the
(08:33):
week eleven that you like? Ido? There's actually quite a bit.
I like I thought. I thoughtlast night's game was for a game that
was that seemed like it was kindof decided when Berg I still felt like
it was a very interesting game.But like to have Pittsburgh go up against
Cleveland right after watching being out Patfryermanth coming back, that's cool. Lions?
(08:56):
Can they dominate the Bears? Theyhaven't seen to blow teams out as
much much as I would like themto. Can the Raiders even stay in
it against the Miami Dolphins. Theyhave a horrible record when they play actually
against the Dolphins, period, butespecially there. There's like so many I
love. I love almost all thesegames. I have a reason to watch
them. Kyler Murray Modern Warfare Callof Duty just came out. Will he
(09:18):
be any good against C? J. Stroud the Texans? There's a there's
there's there's stories to all of it. My friend Jets actually dagd I many
another team, I got so many, so many things. I like Chargers
Packers, who will be left afterthe game Jordan Love is the quarterback or
Brandon Staley is the head coach.So when I told you that, like
almost every game is interesting to me, that's not one of them. That's
(09:41):
gonna be a bad game, Dude, that's gonna be a bad bad game,
A bad game, or you don'tthey can be closer just not watchable.
Maybe it's the better way to frameI think. I think it'll probably
be kind of close, to behonest with you, but like it's just
just not this is not gonna begood there's not good teams shit, and
the Jaguars hang on to the topof the AFC South as they take on
a South opponent, Titans. It'sa good question right there. The Buccaneers.
(10:03):
Can they pull off a huge upsetagainst the forty nine ers, No,
they cannot. Starting to like thatRams game more and more after that
tip I got at Mohawks heavy.The Rams are actually getting really healthy now,
good stuff for a week, Alot of stuff. It should be
red zone should be pretty fast andfever pitched, my friend, fast and
fever pitched. You said you weregonna tell me something. Oh my god,
(10:24):
are you gonna wait? Do youwant to know? Because I can
tell you, I'm not sure ifyou all right? Have you you've definitely
you have to have had something likethis happened to you, guys, like,
have you ever had somebody? Ilove telling the Nick Haig story.
So Nick Haig was a linebacker forthe New Jersey Flight. They played in
Albany against US. He was hedidn't like the refs. He talked a
(10:48):
lot of trash to me. Hetalked a lot of trash to the owner
of the Empire Time, Mike Quarda. And then a year later he's on
the team, and a year laterwe abused him a little bit before we
let it go. We're like,oh, you got to say Tony,
you know, jokingly whatever. Itturned out to be one of the best
guys that we've ever had. Anice back. You'll be with the Firebirds
this year. Have you ever hada situation like that where somebody was rude
(11:09):
to you or or just did somethingthat that really just rubbed you the wrong
way, and then a little bitof time later, maybe maybe almost a
year exactly, that person needs somethingor wants something from you that you're in
a position to keep from them.Have you ever had that happen? Yes,
(11:33):
I have. It's a did youtake the high road? What'd you
do? Did you? I wouldsay that I think I took the high
road, and I'm trying to putsarcasm on that. They may not believe
that same thing. That's a day, that's a that's a story for a
podcast. Let's just say, canyou imagine, if I don't know,
maybe you were just freezing in alake for a good cause. You come
(11:54):
out to get in your vehicle andit's blocked in, and the person who
blocked you in, gives you attitudefor blocking you in, and then that
person reaches out to a year laterasking for a job. Guess who's not
freaking getting hired. I remember yourface, I remember what you do.
(12:16):
You had the audacity to reach outto me for a job. I have
no business popping bottles today, butI may go home tonight and pop some
champagne and laugh about this one.You know what I would do in that
scenario, vac take. Do youhave the screenshot or the moment or do
you have like I would send thatto them and say, this is why
(12:37):
you aren't getting it. People don'tforget, like the movie's super bad.
When I say that, lie,people don't forget. I uh yeah,
I might have to. Oh mygod, I feel so good, like
it feels good. This is yeah. I just I'm sorry. I don't
want to be a jerk. Itdoesn't like like the person is gonna it's
gonna survive life. I'm not like, I'm not taking away their ability to
(12:58):
live, but I'm sure as hellnot adding to it. Karma. Karma
is that strip club I've been tooonce? I just I mean that just
made my That just made my Ithis this is This is what it's gotta
feel like when, like John,every time you bring in your your Honda
(13:22):
Pilot and you've done something else toit and John saves the day. Like
this is gonna be the opposite ofhow like John feels great helping you each
time because you two of her friends. Like if you were a jerk to
John, this is how he wouldfeel how I feel right now, or
he would be like I'm gonna helpyou, but I don't want to and
like you or not help you.Maybe I don't know. Good karma on
your side and get a mohawk kandit. Good things will happen to you
(13:43):
when you work with people that youtrust. During the Carbine experience, you
know, I'm not gonna say whoyou are, but you know, maybe
the cousin, maybe you in particularthat have gone to dealerships and you've worked
with people who don't trust you feellike they get that weird feeling. Don't
do that anymore to yourselves. Goto people that you can trust, like
Mohawkan Cammic kennes So. I workedwith Brian McCann, Greg Johnson, Lindsay
hardon the vip Man, Morauleds,Jean Lucas. So many great people there
(14:05):
that you can work with to findyourself a new ride today. Stop it
in Mohawk Conda and you'll go backfor a third fourth. I guess you
gotta get a second before third andto fourth vehicle that you can have.

lifestyle and more. It's Moha Kandawhere they always go out of their way
to please you. Love what they'regreat. They're phenomenal, phenomenal people.
Fantasy Versus Reality is coming up nextright here on Fox Sports Radio ninety.
It's time for Fantasy every year.I set this league up every year and
(14:48):
I never wins just a year.A lineup Store versus Reality, Baby,
we done it well, Rich Baby, I got the red Ponties were rich
babies with Levac and gods ah Ponti'suh you. A rare occurrence took place
(15:09):
in last week's Fantasy Versus Reality.Goz beat me I had a bad week.
I went one and two? Youwent what two to oho and one?
Two oh and one? Thank youJames Cook a backdoor cover. Ooh
hit here, So I am withthat one in two week? I am
now twenty one and nine. Woogozz is two oh and one week?
(15:31):
You are? Now? Is it? Oh? Wait? I think I
had you at two and one,so let me see. So what are
you now? Thirteen and five?Twelve? Thirteen and five? Okay,
that is what I had for you, all right. So because you had
the better week, you get todecide who goes first. But I will
remind everybody I make three picks againstthe spread. That is the reality of
(15:54):
it all, trying to win allthe monies. And then guys will make
three plays for fantasy football players whohe believes will outperform their projected totals half
point PPR. If he doesn't betterbuy at least a full point, he
counts as a tie. That's exactlyright, And all this happens thanks to
our friends at Hooters under the orangeroof, your place to watch NFL Action
(16:15):
all season long. Thursday nights KIWhat if you went without me? Sunday
nights Monday nights. I did goto Hooters yesterday without Levak Texas hurtful.
All I did was go to NewYork City and hang out with a bunch
of millionaires. You went to Hooters. That's not fair. Texas Barbecue Rubb
to try new flavorites fantastic yesterday.I call that Shawn Watson Texas rub great
(16:37):
beer specialists as well. Make sureI asked the friendly staff there about the
waterful beer specials. I can tellyou every ninety nine pints a Miller and
Cohor's lot during football four ninety ninedrafts of the old Sammy Adams and Sammy
october Fest. There you go,Hooters, Thank you. We'll check him
(16:57):
out and show the football. Canyou want to go first? Good?
Go first. I've changed my pickthree times at quarterback, and I've sat
on this one and I like thisone a lot because I want to ride
the way I want to roll withthis guy. He is Joshua Dobbs,
quarterback Minnesota Vikings. Dobbs the lastthree weeks over twenty points every single time.
So he gets the prime time matchupSunday night against the Denver Broncos.
(17:21):
The Broncos look, they've had somegood offenses they they face, but they
are better, like Russell Wilson's playingbetter, Sean Payton. The whole team
has gotten better for what we thoughtwas one of the worst contracts and trades
in NFL history. But the Broncodefense, although they are ball hawks and
playmakers, they've allowed the tenth mostFantasy football points the quarterbacks this season.
(17:42):
Dobbs is projection city right now atfifteen point six. That seems sort of
low and in comparison to other quarterbacksplaying this week, depending on what sites
you're using, this is ya whomy prediction we've used all season long.
He is the seventeenth highest rated quarterback. Eh, but that with his success,
who else is gonna get going onthe Viking offense. It's been about
(18:03):
Joshua Dobbs. I'll play that onemore time. And even if you think
the Broncos can beat the Vikings onSunday night, they're gonna let Dobbs throw.
Just like James Cook covered for melate in the game in primetime last
week. Give me Dobbs over hisprojected total of fifteen point six this week
against the Broncos and he, ofcourse, we have to do this because
He's been on three different teams.He plays for the Vikings. Now,
(18:26):
Dobby, if Master gives Dolby asalk, he can go on and be
free. All right, I dolike that game. It hmm, I
like that game. So here's thesituation that the base is in. I'm
kind of stingy. That's why Idon't want to win. I have a
lot of plays I like, andI'm now realizing that the greatest skill that
(18:48):
I have when it comes to thereality side of fantasy versus reality, is
skimming out the things I like andmaking sure I have the ones I love.
Oh so I'm a little servosy.Like a turkey is skinning off the
skin. Yeah, sure we gowith that, but the skin is,
man. You get a fried turkeywith skin on, it takes real good.
I'll tell you what, Like Knightermight have potato chip out of a
bird. So what I'm gonna dois I'm gonna go I know I love
(19:11):
too, so I'm gonna go withtwo and then I really don't know what's
gonna happen with the third one.So just wet'll start here. How about
the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Cleveland BrownsBrowns are still a one and a half
point favorite. Total is thirty twoand a half. Yeah, ain't pretty.
Deshaun Watson is bye bye. PatFriarmouth is back practiced all week,
(19:32):
should be able to return from theIR this week. It pains me.
It pains me to take the Steelersbecause of all you Steeler fans. Steven
and I just Steeler fans are differentbreed. They are. They make it
tough on me. But I takea look at what this TJ. Watt
the Steelers defense Dorian Thompson Robinson.I think the Steelers defense is gonna hit
(19:53):
him more times than he has syllablesin his name. Like, I think
there's gonna be a reckoning if youwill. Steelers are gonna go ahead,
They'll get this win. I'll takethe one and a half points really like
the under. I'm kind of acoin toss between the two to be perfectly
honest with you, but I'm gonnatake the Steelers plus one and a half.
That the under will be on mycard, but for fantasy versus reality
(20:15):
purposes, Steelers plus one and ahalf lock it in levakas the Steelers.
I had that early look ahead earlierthis week. I thought about Pittsburgh.
Then that line was moving around youlike the Steelers as well. I think
Sunday we're still gonna have you feelingdifferent about that game, that whole game
all week. Well, I'll justgive me a storylines. But I do
like the under. I do likethe under two. That's the thing is,
(20:37):
you asked me last week, howoften my play of the week is
this or is that there's a chanceout? The under in this game?
Is my player of the week,not the actual Steelers who We move on
to the running back position again.Let me say one more time, I
dance between a few players at thisspot like fred Is Stare. That's right,
you'll know who those players are comingup for the next position. But
first we go a former Buffalo billhere. I've used you for Devin Singletary
(21:00):
on fantasy rosters in life and acquisitionsand transactions. You have become the guy
in Houston. Now they the HoustonTexas at the Arizona Cardinals this week,
and CJ. Strout has been talkedabout as one of the great rookie quarterbacks
in NFL history. For the secondconsecutive week, I get to sneak in
a reference that the Nickelodeon Slime TimeMVP is c J. Stroud. Last
(21:22):
week it was Joshua Dobbs this weekat Stroud. I bring that up because
there's a potential potential at the ArizonaCardinals defense does what they did against Atlanta
and confuses the rookie. Maybe theydon't want that to happen. Give the
ball to Devin Singletary. Singletary lastweek, how about twenty two point six
against Cincinnati? This week the numbersnine point eight and Devin Singletary gets a
(21:44):
Cardinal defense one more time, thethird most Fantasy football points allowed to running
backs this season. If you satwith Singletary, if you went zero running
back in your draft and you've gotSingletary citing in your flex your RB two,
what a move you get in weekof level and he's you push towards
the playoffs. Singletary, big gamefor the Texas. He gets over that
number nine point eight as they takeon the Cardinals this week. Yeah,
(22:07):
that game scares the heut of meon a reality level, But I like
where your heads at on it.But I just I'm afraid to even I'm
afraid to even think about taking thatgame. I will tell you this,
Dallas Cowboys minus ten and a halfat Carolina Panthers totals forty one and a
half. The Cowboys don't just likebeat lesser opponents. They stomp them out
(22:30):
like when a rhino finds a fire, you know in Africa. They just
take them, just beat them likemercilessly. The Giants have seen it twice
so far this year. We've gota situation where Dak Prescott is trying to
perform to get a contract extension.You got Mike McCarthy over here going no
one's asked for me to be firedin weeks. You've got Dan Quinn,
(22:51):
who's probably going to be a headcoach somewhere next year, maybe Dallas.
I think this is a scenario whereDallas goes full bully and just just takes
Carolina behind the woodshed. I don'tfeel good about Carolina all this week.
I think Dallas will go out thereand make a point. They will try
to run it up, almost likethe old college football rankings. They will
(23:12):
run up the score. They willbeat down the Panthers. How about them
Cowboys. I'll lay the ten anda half points. You're two for two
on picks. I like so far. Take that for what it is,
and especially with especially with that cowboyplay. If you're a Survivor player,
you've been in those pools and yousat on the cowboys, this is the
week you use them. Or you'relike me, who's doing well in Survivor,
(23:33):
hasn't lost one yet, is nowlooking and thinking like, oh gosh,
oh, you have to give meyour play. Yeah, and here
it is, right now, Levac, here it is. Write it down.
My Survivor play this week is theWashington Commanders against the New York Giants.
You know, throughout this entire segment, I've talked about who I almost
took, Well, I almost tookSam Howell's my quarterback play. Howe's ranked
is a top ten quarterback this weekagainst the Giants. I almost took Brian
(23:56):
Robinson. I mean Brian Robinson fanthe many Men thing last year with the
entrance he all he does is producedfor the Commanders out of the backfield.
But I passed on both of thembecause I'm taking someone who's been more consistent
in his career, and that iswide receiver Terry McLaurin. Scary Terry Terry
McClay gets the number eleven on thebutton eleven point zero zero against the Giants,
(24:18):
who have allowed also the third most. It's like the Cardinals, the
Giants third most Fantasy football points thewide receivers this season. So something's gonna
happen in this Commander game. Sitin nine to nine and a half ten
depending on where you're looking. Butit's gone into the single digits. Now
I get nervous that in a divisionalgame, weird stuff happens. It just
does. But the Giants stink sobad? Can they really beat the Commanders?
(24:42):
More importantly, do they actually evenwant to beat the Commanders? Ye?
Good God? Take the Commanders andsurvivor I'll take McLaurin as one of
those three between how Robinson and himto have the biggest, most likely to
beat the projection. Give me ScaryTerry eleven on the button against Big Blue?
This all right? For my thirdand final pick, I'm between two
(25:03):
games. Think about this. Thisis where I live right now. Do
I take the Los Angeles Rams plusone point at home hosting the Seattle Fraudhawks,
Or do I take the San Franciscoforty nine Ers minus eleven and a
half points against the Tampa Bay Bakerneers. I think this is one of those
(25:29):
deals where you look at it andyou think, man, why not take
both? Why not do four picksthis week? You're a man, you're
forty seven, You'll do what youwant. And then I realized, I
don't think I've ever had a goodweek when I've taken four plays. Gonna,
how dare you remember? Because Iwas gonna offer it up? Do
you want it? Do you wantthe fourth? I will? I'll tell
(25:49):
you what do you want to smoke? Do you want to smoke them all
four? I need to come backand this can help me. So yes,
I'm taking a fourth play. Lookat this Turkey games. Let's let's
it a week away. We'll giveyou four in fantasy versus reality? Do
you have a fourth play? Canwe go toe to toe? Yeah?
Or do you not want a fourthplay? You have to give both of
yours back to back? Then Igive you my fourth place. All right,
I'm gonna take the San Francisco fortynine ers here. And the reason
(26:11):
I'm gonna do that is a verysimilar situation to what I just talked about
in Dallas. The only real differencebetween the way that the San Francisco forty
nine Ers play and the Dallas Cowboysplay. Is I like the forty nine
ers. I think that people likethe forty nine ers. Nobody but Cowboys.
Fans like the Cowboys. So whilethe San Francisco forty nine ers out
here with creative run schemes and brockPurty having a good time and everything's going
(26:34):
well, we're like, yay,look at them their heroes. We're in
all reality. They are a violentdefense that slaps the hell out of the
other team's quarterback and then they runthe score up on you because they can,
and they do everything Dallas does exceptfor their likable So give me the
Niners. I will lay eleven anda half points, and then as far
as the Rams go, I thinkthat Gino Smith, even though he had
(26:57):
a very good week last week,he is not what you saw last year.
He is what you have seen mostof his career. He is not
gonna be able to go out thereand dominate this Rams team. I think
this is a Rams team that willdo what it takes. They'll get the
W at home, they will winthis game. I'll take the Rams plus
(27:17):
one point at home. Look atthat four plays. I really four play
one day, I'm gonna get TaysomHill in here again. I so badly
want to Taysom Hill, and TaysomHill's gonna buye. And for all you
Fantasy football rankers that every year wantsto put Taysom Hill eighteenth, nineteenth or
twentieth, guess what Taysom Hill topeight tight end again. I don't get
why you guys want to rank it. Okay, I'm stalling because they gotta
(27:40):
get to my tight end play.That's what I'm going with here. How
familiar are you with the work ofTrey McBride, who ranks right now sixteenth
amongst tight ends. Now that mightnot sound impressive, but you have bye
weeks and some of you might haveTrey McBride the tight end for the Arizona
Cardinals on your roster. McBride's beenokay, especially this past month. A
twenty point performance against Baltimore, aseventeen point performance against the Cardinals, and
(28:03):
he gets the Houston Texans this week. It's seven point three. Look,
Kyler Murray's back from injury. DeAndreHopkins isn't out there, Larry Fitzgerald's not
out there. Who the hell isout there? Now thinking about the Cardinals
wide receivers, Trey McBride. Sevenpoint three is the number the Texans have
allowed the fifth most fantasy football pointsthe tight ends of this season. I'm
rolling with Trey McBride and he's probablygonna help somebody. Want to maybe another
(28:27):
playoff pushing victory in fantasy football thisweek? You you asked, I will
answer. The wide receiver corps forthe Arizona Cardinals is Marquise Hollywood Brown,
Michael Wilson, Rondell Moore. Iknow Hollywood Brown. All right there,
they sounded a lot more impressive afew years ago. Yeah, Greg Derch
(28:48):
and Zach Pascal are backing those gentlemenup, so you look out. All
right, that's it the same time. Yeah, we're done. We're gonna
recap. Let's go first. Youwere so cool, be the first one
to recamp. All right, I'mnot gonna do the points. But Joshua
Dobbs, I play at quarter bay, Joshua Dobbs running back. I actually,
actually I remember the top of myhead. Dobbs at sixteen point five,
(29:10):
excuse me. Fifteen point five forDobbs, nine point eight for Devin
Singletary, eleven on the button forTerry McLaurin in seven point three. Here
for Trey McBride, the tight endfor the Arizona Cardinals. All right,
I got four plays because I'm abad bad man. Pittsburgh Staleors plus one
and a half over the Deshaun Watsonless Browns. I also like the under,
(29:30):
but that's whatever. Dallas Cowboys layin ten and a half points.
They are bullies and they will beatup the Panthers. Also bullies, but
likable, lovable bullies. The fortynine Ers, I'll lay the eleven and
a half points at home against TampaBay. They are healthy and the Niners
are a team you don't want tomess with. And finally, the Rams
are at home. I'm getting apoint Seahawks or joke, so I'm gonna
(29:52):
go Rams. Four plays for you. On the reality side, how you
like that? Mapples like a lot. Next week, it's gonna be we
week for us because we are offnext Friday for the holiday. We are
off Thursday, but we might havesome digital exclusive, we might have some
on air depending on how the gamesgo. We'll get all that programming stuff
later. Just do it Wednesday,and then we have one less thing to
think about us. We could doit Wednesday. As long as the Maui
(30:15):
Invitational gets out of the way,we should be fun Monday. I'll just
mention this now. We probably won'tmention this before at the end of the
show, but we are off onMonday. We're off on Monday because of
the Maui Invitational, So nobody yellat us. But we'll have the Kickstarter
and all that stuff coming as well. Please yell at us. I like
I like the feeling that like youmissed us when we're not here. I
would like I would like a lotof complaints over over that. Please,
if at all possible. Uh,we gotta do the play of the day.
(30:38):
We do, but we also haveto talk about our friends at C
four Levak. We gotta say thatyelling at me. I thought you had
a SEE four in front of you. Those whoa those are already. There's
two empty C fours in my truckright now that I love SEE four.
Uh. The smart Energy the UltimateEnergy Today was an Ultimate Energy day.
Didn't get home from New York Cityuntil late last night. You know,
(31:02):
had to make sure everybody found wheretheir vehicles were. All these things A
lot of meanings this morning that couldnot be delayed. So I needed that
little I needed that boost. Iwas not This was not a coffee morning,
okay, this was an ultimate energy. This was a stop by speedway.
Get the ultimate energy and you know, get that boost to get moveing.

me here today. Strawberry, watermelon, ice slice, Arctic snow cone,
whatever your favorite flavor is rabbit todayand Stuart's wherever it is that you need
that extra boost, whether it's inthe morning, the afternoon, the night,
Sea four will give you that boost. Now, talking about four,
(31:47):
I realized that our friend Clostive Energy, Brian Mariano, the closer to Sea
Force, maybe more than that becausehe was part of our Sea four,
all the great things he did fora horse racing coverage this year. He
might have a few Sea Force cominghis way this Sunday. But maybe don't
all you don't have mall ONTs closer, just pace yourself. They're all great
flavors. C four. Get ittoday, have a great weekend and enjoy
all the Sea four flavors. Doit? Yes? Please do? I

Sports Radio ninety five, nine nine, ten thousand. I was over there
this morning, guys. You weremet with Dave mclett, our friend.
You know. Actually it was funnybecause I saw some of the some of
the guys from USX Past Control andthey've they've got this, like they were
(32:34):
showing how they can brand like it'sit was. It's basically like it's a
brander, is what it is.But it's for like wood, So like
if you bought like a bat boxor whatever, they could put their logo
on it. Oh okay. SoI like, jokingly, I was like,
listen, you know anything anything forthe brand, and he goes,
well, I'm glad you're here.And the guy like fires it up and
looks at it, and I'm like, I'm like, hold on, hold
(32:55):
on, hold on, hold on, point of order, that's the Cat's
Eye brand that you're playing around withright now, which I respect because my
house was cat guarded blah blah.But I I'm a USX pest control client,
and Dave starts dying. He goes, this is why we love him,
because he knows how to elevate thebrands. He knows what brands he's
talking about and everything. That's whywe work with levacts while we work with
(33:17):
guys, so like I would dareto say that we help elevate elevation.
Yes, elevation ten thousand, Thankyou or you're welcome. However, we
want to phrase this on a Friday, as we getting ready to close out
head towards the weekend. I likewearing that snow cap. I got the
Elevation ten thousand, you know,walking around with it, whether it's our
gear or a parentking cap, iswhat it is. We've got a lot
(33:37):
of exciting things. We mentioned thisthroughout this month about twenty twenty four,
something before even twenty twenty four.We're gonna nice little tease will leave you
the weekend teas of what Elevation tenthousand and some local businesses, local teams
and more have planned for the future. We'll talk more about that coming up
in the future. But if you'relooking to find that future client some future
money, that future cool hat hoodiesweats or whatever it is. This is
(33:59):
the place for you. It's Elevationten thousand that's going to continue to help
elevate your brand into twenty twenty fourmeyond. I can tell you, with
you know, full sincerity, I'mgoing to be working with Elevation ten thousand
as part of the Levak Gas brand. And we started, you know,
negotiating a little bit of firebirds worktoo, So bringing it back home with
the people that I trust to helpus elebrate every elevate every brand, celebrate.
(34:20):
Why not elebrate elebrate. It's awhole new thing. So elevate your
brand with Elevation ten thousand. It'sLovak and Guz on the Voice of the
Capitol Regions sports fan Fox Sports ninetyfive to nine and nine eighty. The
fact that I made it this farpretty much miraculous. I gotta tell you
a world win forty eight hours foryou. It's it has not been the
(34:45):
most conventional I'll be the first toadmit that, but here we are.
We keep moving right along. Weget everything going, keep it moving and
you know, hopefully help people getsome good plays here. Play of the
Day brought to you by Mohawks Chevrolettogether, let's drive. Don't forget the
demalk Chevrolet. They always go outof their way to please you. I
know we're gonna talk about a coupleof different things here, but I really
(35:07):
like one play of the day.For me. It's not for today,
it's for tomorrow. It's Michigan againstthe world, Michigan at Maryland. I'm
laying nineteen and a half points.I'm fine with that. They're gonna win,
buy way more than three touchdowns.Hardball will be there in spirit.
You know, more and more peopleare catching the acts things are happening,
(35:29):
which I think will galvanize this crewmore and more, if you know what
I'm saying, Coach, more,more and more. I see that now
your brand today. I just Ithink Michigan is going I think the team,
as I pointed out to you,you were horribly wrong about it,
they will actually rally around this.They will get they are offended that this
(35:50):
is happening. They know that it'sall bogus and bumpcus. And that is
why Michigan versus the World Michigan minusnineteen and a half points. I do
like the Michigan. And here's whyI like Michigan because I'm doing better at
this. I don't want you toagree with me. It's better when you
don't. I feel like I dobetter. Keep this on your phone,
keep a record of it with yourfriends, put it on your social media,
whatever it is. If there's certainplays each year that you're starting to
(36:14):
realize, am I just doing thesame thing every year? Because you might
not even realize you're doing Oh,I feel like I picked this team a
lot, and then you realize,seven years past, why do I always
pick against this team? I don'tlike what I mean by that. In
this Michigan game is this from nowuntil the end of time, everybody,
every single weekend before the Michigan OhioState game can say trap game. Look
(36:36):
out, Michigan's overlooking insert opponent here, Ohio State's overlooking insert like I could
have that same storyline in twenty twentythree that I had twenty eighteen in twenty
thirty three. Eventually, we justcan't keep doing that. I would have
told you probably last week Michigan wouldhave not covered against whoever they were playing
because of all the things leading upto the Ohio State game. But as
(37:00):
you just put there, Levac,there's a lot different things that surround this
game that we didn't thought would inthe past. So I do like the
Michigan play. It is not atrap game. And if you feel like
you have attitudes or feelings like that, like, oh you've got to take
this underdog. Oh you've got totake a twelve over a five. Oh
you've got to talk march madnesson thatone. But there's things that you consistently
do but just don't even think aboutit anymore blindly wager. Maybe just look
(37:24):
at it again, give it adifferent look. Well, I'll tell you
right now, Sharon Moore is gonnaget this thing going. I can't wait
for his post game press conference.I hope he breaks down crying again.
I hope you swear six times insteadof five. I just I'm in.
I'm in, I want more,sure and more. I've got to play.
I absolutely loving college football. Thisa right. So you and I
(37:45):
both like that Raiders Jets game inthe NFL a few weeks ago because the
line kind of didn't make sense.Uh, Raiders' shots is that we're talking
about? Hey? Yeah, weboth, we both we're talking is it?
Yeah? It is is? Yeah, it is all right. I
was doing a show, Welcome toGods and Gods, that's what happens like
you are the host Solo Radio andraiders. We agreed on that pick.
(38:07):
Then there was one way back whenremember Louisville took on pitt Levac and I
loved pitt in that game, andpitt knocked him off and beat him outright.
Going back to the Louisville Cardinals thisweek, because they're the tenth team
in the country, they can punchtheir ticket for sure to the ACC title
game. They got Miami on theroad. Miami is doing two for one
(38:27):
tickets. Yes, the Miami Hurricanesare so desperate to pack that look.
Some people would argue that the hardRock Statum was far away from camp.
It's always been far away the OrangeBowl and all that stuff. But Louisville
at nine and one off a terribleloss to Pittsburgh earlier this year, is
a one point dog on the roadto Miami. That line stinks stinky.
(38:49):
Now Miami should be seven and threeif Mario Christobal takes a knee. But
I love the Hurricanes one of myfavorite college plays of the week because that
line makes absolutely no sense. Samin Georgia, Tennessee a primetime game.
Remember Tennessee with Hendon Hooker. Ifhe doesn't get hurt, how much better
do we view the Volves as aprogram. If he stays healthy and he
should have been in New York Cityand invite you to the Heisman last year,
I can say now I did votefor Hooker thirty. He was the
(39:12):
leader for most of this season.That's only a ten point spread. Why
Georgia plays Georgia Tech next week Tennesseeis okay, they're decent. They got
former Michigan quarterback Joe Milton. Ilike the Volves in that game Knoxville Rocky
Top. They're not gonna beat Georgia, but they can cover ten. Those
are two games I really like.In one more big game, we got
(39:34):
a little West coast kickoff here,but it's out of core Vallis, Oregon
the new stadium seven thirty. So, even though that's a West Coast kick
close to the East coast because theBeavers hosts the Huskies, the Huskies undefeated
ten and O Michael Pennix junior OregonState. One of my favorite plays in
the preseason. How about the Beaversat eight and two, a one point
(39:58):
favorite at home follow the lines thisweek, the Beavers, the Hurricanes,
and the Vols home teams. Takethem a little three team parlay for me
in college football this week, andyou could toss in Michigan if you want,
for Lovak the road team though roadteam, it's a road team.
That's the LG four team parlay rightthere, So that would be if you
(40:21):
went ahead and did that place ofthe day right there. I was looking
for stuff tonight, but again Idon't know how to I don't really know
how to view the NBA because remembertonight's the tournament, right so it's the
end season tournament for the NBA.So just as I would like, this
is how I feel about the tournament. It's the worst thing they've ever done.
Just ask you again, just toconfirm, because I asked you this
(40:43):
in top four four. Is thissecond opportunity for you to say this?
You don't consider any of these gamestonight? I must win. No?
Still, no, Well, here'sthe thing, right so, everybody.
The way the tournament works, Ithink is you play to get into the
championship game. If you win thechampionship game, every player on the team
(41:05):
gets five hundred thousand dollars. Ifyou lose. The area player on the
team gets two hundred fifty thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. Two
guys who aren't making over a milliondollars a game. And there's a lot
of those guys. I mean,that's just so, it's just it's it
just doesn't it doesn't really, itdoesn't equate to me. I don't get
it. I don't like it.I'm not looking up who can get in
a group playing who can still notdoing it? Sorry, not gonna do
it. I think it proves onpoint that we're all confused and maybe we're
(41:28):
just not very smart on this,But I don't think that's the case.
I think it's that we didn't likethe Ncason tournament and people fixed fights and
injuries to get out of it.Well, and it's just in the way
they're doing it too. It's justit just doesn't it does not compute.
They did not do a good job. This is this is rush, This
is clumsy. This was a Thisis a flirtation to Vegas is what this
is. This is the NBA sellingVegas. We love you, we want
(41:49):
we see the A's are there,now, the Raiders are there. We
would like you know the the aces. We are ready, We are ready
to come there, but we knowthat we have to maybe a little kiss
first. We're not feeling the NBAaction. We got some college football picks.
But one more time and we caneven dive into these games. If
you want an awesome, a fantasticlocal weekend in college football with Union the
(42:13):
Garden it charters a bunch of fifthyear seniors out there for the squad from
Schenectady. They're played in the NCAAFootball Playoffs. D three shouts. All
that and you Albany football Senior Dayat home with an opportunity to clinch not
just an FCS playoff berth, butyou and I have no reason to think
they should not have a home playoffgame as well. You know what,
(42:34):
let's actually discuss this little week becauseI think a lot of people listening may
not know this. When it comesto the FCS playoffs, a lot of
this plays into how big is yourcrowd, what's your following? Can you
potentially throw some money in big towardsthat home playoff game? Yes, the
best teams get an opportunity to hosta playoff game, but there's a lot
more into this when it comes tohosting a playoff game that I think a
casual fan might realize. I bringall that up because the turnout, the
(42:59):
tendency of oh should the impact ofthe game this upcoming weekend for the Great
Danes against Monmouth can really play affecton what we see the following weekend in
the FCS playoffs. Yeah, I'venever been more disappointed to be in a
parade in my life. Like,I'm so excited to be in the Schenectady
Holiday Parade with the Firebirds with ourfriends at Tech East, and I'm very
(43:20):
that's super psyched, Like I loveit. It's gonna be a great time.
But in the back of my head, it's gonna be the entire time,
Like I'm not really on the GreatDanes at Bob Ford Field Tom Mary
Casey Stadium because I'm here spreading joyto children. I mean, come on,
stupid kids. Very excited about theparade. Go coach Catusa in his
(43:40):
squad. Yeah, when big CoachI can come to a home playoff game,
that's what I need. Do itfor me. There's tons of tie
breakers involved to where the CAA Championshipis in play for the Great Danes.
There's a lot of things that aremoving back and forth. No disrespect to
the CIA, and I know alot of coaches get mad about this,
especially media. Guys can put thisin the media guide. The guys can
(44:01):
put it in the media guide lateron. Guys, winning the CIA is
important, but the playoff matchup's moreimportant. It's great to see. I
mean, you say, you winthe conference. That's great, that's wonderful,
but that lasts for what a celebrationon the field, and then you're
onto the playoffs the next week,and then you celebrate that and then you
(44:21):
celebrate the next one. And soI mean, I get what you're getting
at. Like, if they wenton and won, you know, two
three playoff games, nobody's gonna goyeah, but they came in second in
the CIA. Nobody's gonna say that. If they go get stomped out,
nobody's gonna be like, but theywon the CIA. I mean, I'm
probably gonna because I want to winthe c AA. But I get where
you're at, Like, it's thebigger goal. The biggest goal is finish,
(44:45):
finish it, go go win thegame. Gos tell me you're a
Baltimore oriole fan by not telling meyou're a Baltimore Oriole fan. Yeah,
the division was cool, but thenyou got the playoffs. Changed the way
we view that season. But stillsuccessful. Go great dates. That's the
most part. It's all matter.It's all that matters. Get the victory
against the Morton, Get a homeplayoff game so I can watch it.
There you go, especially on Thanksgivingweekend with all the food and all the
(45:07):
great things at the Capital Region.I love food. Oh sorry, Waite,
all right, just real quick,just got I got a shameless self
promotion tomorrow morning. It's gonna beover at Crossgates. Santa's arriving at eleven,
so I'll be there. I'll havecandy canes for the kids. You
know what I'm saying, Little canycanes for the kids as part of the
(45:29):
firewords the techie stuff I do.And then this is connected the holiday of
parade. It might rain a littlebit, not worried about it. Don't
care, Okay, don't care.So that's what I'm doing tomorrow. What
are you doing tomorrow? I don'tknow. Whatever my wife tells me to
do. Smart man, that's it. You know what. You come a
long way, guys, You've comea long way. It's smarter every day,

earlier past control. It all comesfull circle here on a Friday before we

(46:37):
Rand and some of the guys,they still there's still places where they
have like the old Kat's eye stuffand everything, because that's what a lot
of people like when you hear thenon chemical Exclusion package, you think of
cat guarding, because that's what itwas, and it's all part of the
Gania family of brands. And like, when I said that out loud today,
the guys from get the you know, the Guya family are like,
for you, good job, andI was like, yeah, I did
