(00:00):
It's time for the top four,four with Levac and guys, drumsticks.
Please all of them, please,I want them all with gravy an extra
trip to fans. Time for thetop four or four is brought to you
by our good friends at Mohawk Honda, where they always go out of their
way to please you. Guys,what is the fourth biggest story? Let's
talk a little NBA, a littlehoops here, just because of a theory
(00:22):
we got from our guy. Ibelieve it was Jesse. It was Jesse
on Twitter who offered this ump.The NBA continues to roll on on Friday,
the day after things given. Youget the Heat and the Knicks and
the in season tournament Levac. Justbecause you and I are such non fans
of this, we're not fans ofit at all. Jesse suggested, guys,
(00:42):
what if they did dislike college basketball, Like we've been bumped by the
Maui Invitational last two days, butthe Male Invitational is all over the place
noon to midnight. So and youand I don't have a problem with in
season college basketball tournaments. To Jesse'spoint, for the NBA to have this
be more successful, why don't theychange the tip off times, to have
it throughout the day like college basketball. It's the best thought I've seen on
(01:07):
social media. What do you makeif Jesse suggested that maybe the next time
this happens, make it feel morelike college basketball with these scattered tip off
times. The problem, the problemthat I have with it as a whole
is, I mean, the biggestproblem is the fact that when you make
like the knockout round, you're gonnaplay extra games. So like the college
(01:29):
ranks, you know, there's achance that one team's gonna play twenty five,
one's gonna play thirty one, youknow, I mean, you know,
you know that there's differences out there. You know, there's differences in
a lot of plays. Some playsome have you know, the conference playoff,
the championship, all these things.So like it's already built into the
structure. It's not supposed to bepart of the structure of the NBA.
It's eighty two games. That's howyou make you play, and whoever wins
(01:52):
the most of those a two gamesis number one seed, and then you
go in the playoffs. Whoever winsthat. That's that's what happens. I
don't like any of it. Ifyou're gonna do it. Do it to
start the season, go all inon it, and then maybe you can
take like if let's say the Knickswin it, right, so they play
three extra games, maybe you godown their schedule and you take three off
(02:13):
the back end or something like that, or you make them if needed games
like playoffs. So mucht I can't. I appreciate him trying to make sense
of it all. I appreciate himlooking for a solution. I think the
number one solution for me is justto keep complaining about it. Jesse,
we appreciate you offering up that idea. All I say to this is it
goes back to what it was monthsago that the reason this is happening is
(02:34):
because the NBA's television contracts are comingup and they're trying to appease their television
partners Vegas and Vegas. Yeah,Vegas too, Like, Hey, this
is an idea for you to continueto spend with us. Here's how we've
made our product better, rather thanguys sitting out and not getting the ratings
that you want or what you toldyour sponsors that this would be the rating
and it would hit because Steph Kerr, I don't pick on Steph Crey,
(02:55):
Kawhi, Leonard Kyriid durant at Hardenthat these guys play and they didn't.
Here's what's to a piece you.It's a nice idea, but I don't
think they're really interested in a noontipoff and your Thanksgiving. That's how they
make It's whoever we give you.Look, people are gonna care because it's
Vegas. I might take a littleheat here for putting this as low as
three in the top four to four, but college basketball's going on again for
(03:19):
the third time, the Maui Invitational. Syracuse gotta beat a few times.
So you can listen to Syracuse tonightWGY, our sister station eight thirty.
The coverage gets underway tonight nine thirty. Tip off out in Hawaiian nine thirty
Eastern. That's when you can hearit. But I kind of want to
look forward to a game coming upon Sunday. Levak You and I are
still scheduled eleven oh one Rivers CasinoResort will previous NFL Action and more.
(03:40):
But also going on Sunday here locallyis the Albany Cup. The U all
be Great Danes taking on Sienna.I put it at three here Levak.
Maybe most weekends we could argue thiscould be the number one story locally.
I feel like it's down this yearbecause both teams are just struggling so early
this season. I honestly like,I haven't seen I think it's part of
(04:03):
the whole cut in the cord thing. I haven't seen as much about it.
Like I was. I forgot alittle bit about it because I'm so
in on you Albany football right now. And then I was at Stuart's and
I saw it on the thing.I'm like, oh God, that's that's
here. I think it's down alittle bit because people are now aware of
the fact that the trophy itself isyour athletic cup. It's the Albany Cup
(04:24):
is actually Gaz's cup. It's it'shis jocksas jockstrat, not what it is.
So you get painted. He painteda gold though. So I think
it's gonna be really I think it'sbe really nice. It's small, it's
very tiny, but it should work. You know what's before the vacation.
I'll have a little fun with this. Uh. To my own question,
Yes, both teams are struggling.That's why it's taking a little bit of
(04:46):
excitement off of it because Sienna can'tscore right now. Kevin Sweeney, our
guy from Sports Illustrated, I lovehis quote about Sienna about Hey, what's
going on with the Saints? Hegoes, well, I've heard from people
I talked to that they're calling theSaints of daycare because they're so young.
I don't know what else you cando with that, Like, that's how
young this team is. For theSaints, ask for you all. But
they've had so many transfers and coachingchanges and everything, it's hard for that
(05:08):
program to figure out who the impactplayers are on that side of it.
Did you see Mark Singles battling withour pal d Scott on Twitter yesterday a
little bit, a little bit.I gotta admit, I see your stuff
has been great. You have afantastic this better stuff. He's been a
lot more positively and funny, butthat he took kind of a negative tone
(05:33):
with this story. I will,I'm gonna do it. I'm sorry,
I'm gonna do I'm you salty dog, you me you you love this because
let's be honest, Siena basketball shouldbe on a sports station and somebody in
(05:54):
the other room for me right now. Who I'm looking at is also on
the microphone, worked his ass offto get them on this station. And
I'll say it, some some belowboard moves may have happened that that didn't
allow that they should have been here. They should have been here, they
should have been here. All I'llsay is this to that comment, uh,
(06:16):
to not get myself in trouble,I'll say this. I'll say it.
I felt very vindicated by Mark Singlaceand fellow sports fans. I don't
usually Levac. I think you wereproud of me last night because usually when
there's a little bit of chaos onsocial media, I watch and then send
them to you and say look whatI'm watching tonight, and I pour myself
and I tall one and say,oh, this is gonna be fun.
(06:39):
Tonight. Was the Kermit sipping teamall last night. Oh but I got
in got Dale Claus out. Isaid, you're right, Mark Singlace,
I ever told you how smart youare. And then our boy d Scott
Diving write it there I am sendingout memes. So yeah, look,
I felt a little vindicated yesterday thatpeople are taking heat of where Sienna is
to I don't look that's not mesaying that. That is social media.
(07:02):
That is not well. That guy'smaking stuff up. People are realizing,
huh, that's a little odd,that's a little strange. I'll go back
to sip at Mike Tina. Idon't even like. I wouldn't care if
I didn't know how and some peoplewho there are people who work very hard
on both sides to make it workover here. That's the only reason I
(07:24):
care. I don't care. Likeif I've got I've got a phone and
everything I can see where and whenit's gonna play, I don't. I
don't. I don't care. LikeI'll tune in if I want to tune
in, I'll tune in. IfI want to go, I'll go.
But like, when I know howhard people work to try and make that,
that makes me because she did youwork very hard on that, and
it's one of the few things Iactually see you put effort into. So
all right, back to Rumber storynumber two. That's where we need to
(07:46):
be. That's exactly See if I, if I didn't throw the insult in
gods like and then we would haveto hug. Yes, you would have
uh. College football, if you'rea fan of the egg Bowl. You
know it's on thanks So if youwant to fire off and over for the
egg Bowl, just out of your'scoming down though over under and I think
I think it over like sixty isdown in the fifties. Now, it's
(08:09):
so much makes me nervous firing offan egg Bowl over That is seven o'clock
on Thursday. Also right here,if you missed it earlier in the show,
We've got some college football for youon Friday. It's gonna be ahead
of US TCU in Oklahoma, thatBig twelve Friday game. Tons of action,
always a lot of fun. That'salmost a Lavac and Gods tradition on
that day after Thanksgiving. We're preemptedby Big twelve football. But we've got
(08:31):
that on OFX coming up on Friday. And then you say preemptive, I
say, I'm still in a coma, not gonna make it over here.
Syracuse Football plays at one o'clock,two o'clock kickoff, one o'clock pregame on
wg Y two o'clock kickoff. Youall bey a bye week, yes,
sit back and watching Ithaca Courtland Unionall playing in the Sweet sixteen of the
(08:54):
D three College Football playoffs. Shoutout to UNI as n that large bit
getting that win over Delaware Valley,and it feels I'm just stalling because I'm
not talking about the big game ofthe weekend, the game that's Stanford.
Call Ohio State Michigan that we cantalk about this now unless you want to
give or later Michigan later if wewant to give some love to you Albany
coach here and then, because Ican't bet on you Albany, maybe I'll
(09:20):
talk a little bit more about Michiganduring Play of the Day at the end
of the show. Love love,love that this team is getting the respect
it deserves, that Gatusa is gettingthe respect he deserves. Coach of the
Year for the CIA. I've heard. I have no way to substantiate this
in any way, Oh, JEFFIscoops. I have no way to substantiate
this anyway. And I did reachout to certain people and they they told
(09:43):
me that if I want to talkto them, I'll talk to them in
person and stop pretending I'm important becauseI'm named a president. I've heard that
mister Catuso coach Catuso is one ofthe names that is on the list to
replace your boy. Do you knowbapers whoa I don't know how high on
that he is, and he again, he won't talk to me. Let's
I take the time to come seehim in person. At this point,
I think somebody's feeling himself that he'scoach of the year. But yeah,
(10:07):
no, I've heard from a coupleof different people. I know that he's
His name has at least been mentionedas somebody they need to take a look
at. That makes too much sensefor someone who recruited Aaron Donald shared first.
For somebody at the FCS level whohas his team ranked, however you
want to say the rankings are fifth, seventh, twelfth, it's on place
(10:28):
and the fifth seed. I wouldsay, if you're the fifth seed,
you should be ranked fifth. Nowthat we're in the postseason, so you've
got a team in upstate New York, let's not make that the argument on
this Upstate New York ranked fifth inthe country. Who has the leader in
the FCS in passing yards, whocan enter the portal if he wants to.
We've already seen how the portals affectedEu Walbany, who has a pipeline
to Pennsylvania and New York, recruits. It makes a ton of sense what
(10:52):
you're hearing that he would get acall from an FBS program, especially one
with an opening. I wouldn't beshocked if his name popped up for corn
Like Cornell, I believe is lookingfor a head coach and their ivy league
and all the things I just saidabout Syracuse. Would mention, Oh gosh,
one's ith the co onon Syracuse.I would say the difference between those
two from all but he's got tobe less than an hour though. All
(11:15):
right, well, I don't Idon't want. I don't want my friend
to leave it all. But ifhe does, I want to go to
the one that's closer and then orI'll go with him to Syracuse and live
your dream. That's that's hurtful.It's the holiday season. I'm moving on.
I'll send you a hat story.Number one is Thanksgiving Action. It
is week twelve of the NFL,and again you can join us rivers Casino
(11:39):

it, not even with a stick. I've heard very cool stuff. I'm
(12:22):
excited. This is this is thethe most fun to be had. I
actually I was talking to a friendof mine and they were introducing me to
a new person that will be partof our group in some way, shape
or form. And uh, theygo, oh, what do you to
this new person? They go,oh, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
I don't celebrate Thanksgiving? I went, I don't need to know you,
and I walked away. And likeeveryone's like a I'm like, I
(12:46):
didn't come back. I still havenot talk to that person again. That
was two days ago. I justcome on, you know, there's a
lot there's a lot of hills youwant to you might want to die.
And that's not the one man.It's Thanksgiving's turkey. Come on now about
love target figure out your viewing patternsfor Thanksgiving. That's what I've learned here
over the Peters. Like for me, I got it. There you go.
The screen is like you might haveto concede at the in law or
(13:07):
the grandparents. Like maybe early inthe day the kids might think they're getting
cartoons or something or some type oflike parade situation and all. All right,
check out the screen over here.Put the kids to the bend a
little early parade done, Santa Clauscomes to town. And then football.
That's right, football, Bobby Buche. That's what's up. That's why I
(13:28):
have two living rooms. I'm actuallyturned the dining room into a living room
just for that occasion. All right. That is the top four or four
was brought to you by Mohawk Honda. Right now, I'll tell you about
actually I sent I sent my guy, Ben over to Elevation ten thousand today
to pick up some stuff. Ohokay, always working with oviously he was
Ben had a jacket. He wantedto have the Firebirds logo. So I
(13:50):
call over, Hey, guys,okay, we think you care. That's
like absolutely, you know, runyour bill, but you know it's you
get quality stuff done. It's alldone by the same people. It's beautiful.
I love it. So whatever Ineed did to elevate the brand of
the Firebirds, They've been there forus the whole time. They're still working
with us on the Lavak Guy's merchpage. They're They're a big part of
making sure everybody knows that the FireWolvesseasons about the Gunner Away like Elevation ten
(14:13):
thousand is secretly and not so secretly, behind the scenes and in front of
everybody, making sure they're elevating brandsand getting the message out for a bunch
of different people. Ben will understandthis, and maybe younger listeners, or
if you're an uncle or a grandpaor a dead and you don't understand the
impact of social media and graphics andbanners and marketing, Oh my, Ben
at the Firebirds is a great exampleof look at this audience I'm connecting you
with. Look at what a signingmeans. When this gets out on the
(14:35):
internet, you're gonna find out exactlywhat your business is doing your holiday season.
Let's say you're a small business rightnow or a medium science business.
What social media posts are you puttingup to engage with your audience during the
holiday break? What are you showingto your audience to make sure they're coming
back to find out a message?Now those two questions, I'm gonna said
it. Now you feel guilt like, oh no, I didn't do any
of those things. If you're startingto fall short this holiday season, you're
(14:56):
not getting your message out the wayyou want. This is another opportunity to
reach out to Elevation ten thousand,those things like social media posts, those
things like SEO making sure your nameis on the top of customers minds as
holiday season. If you're starting todrop the ball a little bit, Elevation
ten thousand is who you want towork for to make sure it doesn't happen
again. Absolutely, I mean seriously, elevate your brand today. Go to
(15:18):
Elevation tenk dot com. Elevate yourbrand with Elevation ten thousand. Fantasy Versus
Reality next right here, The facGuy's Fox Sports Radio ninety five, nine
to nine eighty. It's time forfantasy every year. I set this league
up every year and I never win. It's just a year. Oh a
lineup store, Stop stupid Different versusReality. Baby, We done it well,
(15:41):
Ridge Baby, break out. Thered panties were Ridge Baby with the
Vacan Gods. Time of all Fantasyversus Reality is brought to you by our
good friends over at Hooters. Yougotta love some Hoo tears for football.
The orange roof has always been goodto us. Beer specials during football going
on. It's three ninety nine fordrafts of Miller like cors Light, four
(16:07):
ninety nine drafts of Sam Adams andSam Seasonal. I went the extra play,
you join me and went the extraplay. You put your big boy
pants on. We both picked fourin last week's instead of three. I
went three and one. I forthe second consecutive week, thought I had
a tie, but I got itto hit. Let's go three in one
(16:29):
for me as well. Thank youJoshua Dobbs for getting to three and one
as well. So I am twentyfour and ten on the season for the
reality guys now in the starting towin fifteen, fourteen and five. So
you're you you finally you're not aloser, but you're still not beating me.
You won the week before, wetied this week, so you get
(16:49):
to choose who goes first. RememberI pick against the spread. I'm I'm
using the fan duel lap today justbecause that's why I had opened when we
started break and that's what I'm gonnause. You go with fantasy football players
against their projected total half point PPR. If you're less than a point,
(17:10):
you counted as a tie. Hootersshout out to all the things going on
on under the Orange roof, whetherit's great wing specials, drink specials,
and more. If you're looking fora place, especially with maybe some friends
and family in town, take onunder the Orange roof. Have a great
time. Levac and I always havea wonderful time watching football action from Thursday,
Friday, Sunday and Monday. Ourspot is Hooters on Wolf Road.
I just realized I'm sitting around withthis like Twao throw What am I going
(17:30):
to do about this? I've hada bottle of water sitting all time.
H Levack explain the rules. I'mstarting with a quarterback position also factor in.
This is a maybe an earlier waywe look at these lines. Who
cares? I'm taking it right now. Lock it in. Thirteenth best quarterback
ranked this week and a half pointPPR leagues according to Yahoo. I'm stunned
by this number. That's Jacksonville Jaguarquarterback Trevor Lawrence. Treylor Lawrence had a
(17:55):
nice fantasy performance last week. Howabout a passing touchdown to rushing touchdowns?
Now? I wonder if they're notgiving him enough love for this? Is
Lawrence again one more time. Thirteenthbest quarterback this week. Lawrence's number is
sixteen point oh five. I'm notgonna round it up. I'm not gonna
round it down. I want itexactly at sixteen point oh five. The
Texans, as exciting as they've beenthis season, have allowed the eighth most
(18:19):
fantasy points to quarterbacks so far thisseason. So you're telling me, Trevor
Lawrence at a battle for what couldbe the top team in the AFC South,
is it this the game counting thepostseason? The most pressure on him
so far in his career as aJacks quarterback, I know we had the
great comeback win last year against theCharters and everything else, but this is
a big game in the history ofTrevor Lawrence's career, the Golden Boy,
(18:41):
the hair, everything else. Hewatched the show he's the best quarterback in
the AFC South. Because now there'salready a question with a young career of
CJ. Stroud. Give me Lawrenceto beat his number of sixteen point oh
five against Houston this weekend. Allright, you know I like that.
I'm a big, big te lawfan. It's good to see you on
his side. This week means you'llhate him next week. My number one,
(19:03):
we're gonna start my number one,doesn't nicer number one. The second
game on Thanksgiving, the Washington Commanderstraveled to Dallas to take on the Cowboys.
Cowboys open as a ten and ahalf point I think a nine and
half pay favorite. A lot ofplaces, they're up to twelve and a
half points. People piling on theBoys total of forty eight and a half.
As I'm breaking down this game andhow I was looking at it,
(19:26):
I started thinking, Okay, anytimetouchdown scores love Ceedee Lamb loved the tight
end Jake Ferguson. You know,I could see maybe one of the backs
made Tony Pollard getting in four MBoys, and I was like, I
definitely like Brian Robinson for Washington.I was like, wait minute, that's
the only one I really like.So that's telling me I like the Cowboys
(19:48):
in this game right, Well,what it really is telling me I like
I like points. I like lotsof points. I think when you are
sitting there watching this second game,maybe you did the early dinner, maybe
you're just maybe you're at the tableand you're giving yourself a wrench neck looking
over the shoulder to see the game. I think you're gonna see a lot
of scoring. There's be a lotof points in this game. This one.
(20:10):
These guys are gonna earn those drumsticks. They're gonna earn that trip to
Fancoma. Give me the over offorty eight and a half Cowboys commanders on
Turkey Day. Nothing better than pointswhen everyone's just hanging out and showing themselves
action on a guest, I'm rootingfor that to even though we're competing against
each other selfishly competition. I'm comingback and it starts with picks like this
(20:33):
at the running back position. Wejust have to admit sometimes that when you
play fantasy football and you have afavorite team, sometimes those opinions clash a
little bit. And this is aperfect example of this. I'm talking about
Tampa Bay Buccaneer running back Rashond White. Now, look, if you told
me what I thought about him,I would tell you preseason that he's stunk.
That he's only there because the Buccaneersaren't gonna be very good and they're
(20:56):
rebuilding. They're gonna look towards thedraft to bring somebody else. And remember,
back in August, my guy,Sean Tucker, who was considered in
the fall of twenty twenty two,is a third to fifth round PICKO was
gonna take carries away from White.It looked like that was gonna be a
thing. It's not a thing.It's not. And White's pretty good,
(21:17):
especially fantasy football wise. He's abetter fantasy football player than maybe an actual
football player. What do I meanby that? How about double digit performances
in week seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. He has been
an awesome fantasy football player in ahalf point PPR leagues. So let's keep
it rolling. Let's see if hecan go six consecutive weeks with a double
(21:37):
digit performance out of the backfield.He ranks fourteenth according to half point PPR
projections, and his number this weekis twelve point nine to one. We'll
put it at twelve point two.We'll rout it up for White. Here
he gets the Colts defense the Buccaneersdo, who've allowed the fourth most Fantasy
football points to running backs so farthis season. You give me a six
tot eight week of double digits anda Buccaneer team who needs this somehow is
(22:00):
still in contention for the South Divisionchampionship. This one's on White. I
like his number. I think hebeats it against Indianapolis this weekend. If
you can see here on my notes, guys, I circled the games I
was thinking about, and I circledTampa Bay plus two and a half.
But my only note was, damnay, isn't that bad? Dot dot right?
So I decided not to pick thatgame. I moved on to Black
(22:22):
Friday. You got the Miami Dolphinslay in nine and a half points at
Jet Life Stadium against the Jets totalof forty one. Here's the deal.
The Miami Dolphins have one of thefastest teams you've ever seen on offense.
Like Al Davis is in the graveright now, as the former Raiders owner,
going, why didn't we get alllike this is us? Like this
is what we do? Y know? Go deep, dude, what's up?
(22:45):
And the truth is they're really goodand they could very easily cover this
nine and a half against the Jetswith the firepower they have. However,
Tyreek Hill is banged up, acient, he's he's banged up again. This
team just got the hands put tohim by the Raiders. The Raiders beat
(23:07):
them up. They could only beatthe Raiders by a touchdown. They probably
should have lost that game if AidanO'Connell was just a little bit more experienced
or the Raiders had you know,a good a good like Pro Bowl style
of quarterback. That being said,the Jets defense is light years better than
the Raiders defense. At home spotlightgame Black Friday, first ever Black Friday
game in the history of the NFL, the Jets will cover the number jay
(23:33):
E Tes Jets, Jets, Jets. Yeah, this is this is the
Jets plus nine and a half allday, every day. Gosh. That
was my favorite play of the weekendbecause of all the storylines you laid out,
because how back in the summer everyoneloved the Jets. Now they're hopping
off. That's a perfect I'm suretheir offense has boiled, but it's okay.
(23:56):
My final play here, this isgonna be an awesome one on Thursday
night between the forty nine Ers andthe Seahawks. My second favorite playoffut was
wagering on games would be the Seahawksand the forty nine Ers because you get
the twelfth man. That game isin Seattle, like I want a triple
check to make sure that game isin front of the twelfth Man. The
NFL decided to make that happen.Okay, Now, Gino Smith got benched,
(24:18):
hurt, injured. Do we reallyknow what happened last week for the
Seattle Seahawks in that matchup? Weknow Gino Smith didn't play and Drew Locke
got on the field. Well,I don't know what's gonna happen Sunday night,
except that the crowd's gonna be wildin that game. Remember Doug Baldwin,
angry Doug Ball, Doug Baldwin.Are we gonna get an angry Tyler
Lockett on Sunday night, because whoeverthrew him in the football, Locket can
(24:41):
be the difference for that offense,especially with San Francisco forty nine er defense
really tough upfront. Give me Lockettnine point nine to nine in a matchup
with the forty nine Ers, whohave allowed the eighth most Fantasy Football points
to wide receivers this season. Rememberto be careful about that stant involving the
nine too, because when you seereally good teams giving up a lot of
(25:02):
points to wide receivers and quarterbacks,how much of that percentages in garbage time?
Do you know they're gonna throw thefootball because they're trailing so much in
the game. I'm willing to getthat. I'm willing to find out.
Tyler Lockett, I have bad littleto a second Twitter battle. I'm referencing
today. People used to say thatI underrated Tyler Lockett. You know what,
Happy Thanksgiving. You better not screwthis up or I'll see you stink
(25:23):
again. Tyler Lockett, nine pointnine is the number against the Niners.
I'm taking the over. I don'tknow if I misshard. I thought you
said Sunday night a couple of timesand you had me freaking out. I
was looking at the wrong stuff Idid. Maybe it was me, maybe
I heard it, but if hedid, it's Thursday night, just right
now, Thanksgiving night, because I'mlooking at him like, wow, this
Sunday night game. I was actuallylike looking at that, I, you
(25:44):
know, because probably the play I'mgonna make, Because like I look through
all the games and there's a lotof things I like. There's a lot
of teams that I like. Idon't know why I've become welliam shot there.
I like the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ithink as the fault there's gonna focused
on Nonjay Harris getting in the endzone. I like your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I like the Buffalo Bills. There'sonly one team I like playing a
(26:10):
team I hate. And if Ican do the little hater right at the
end with supporting a team that Ibelieve is one of the best teams in
the NFL, well, then whoam I to get in the way of
my hatred. I have to embracethe hate, just like the dark side
of the Force. And that iswhy, my friends, my third and
final pick for Fantasy Versus Reality ispart of this game. The Baltimore Ravens
(26:32):
laying three and a half points atthe Los Angeles Frauds. I'm sorry,
Chargers, total of forty six anda half points. Frauds. Frauds,
frauds, frauds, frauds. TheChargers are a joke. The Ravens are
legit. I know they don't haveMark Andrews. I know everybody is still
talking about the diversion of Lamar Jackson, who can't throw outside the numbers.
That's not the dude you're dealing withanymore. He's not great at it,
(26:56):
but he can do it, andhe can do it well enough to beat
a fraudulent team in the Los AngelesChargers, who, by the way,
they won't really have great home fieldadvantage because they never do. I don't
know how well Ravens fans travel.I believe they'd probably go on a flock
or or an unkindness. But Ithink this is a game that you gotta
love. The Ravens minus three anda half points give me Baltimore over the
(27:19):
Los Angeles fraudulent Chargers. Ooh,it's time to recap now, right,
let's go all right, I'm gonnago backwards here, wide receiver and half
point PPR leaks projected by a guywho trying to get over on these plays,
and if you're a weekly fantasy player, put these in your lineup as
well. Tyler Lockett nine point nineto nine. I'm not rounded it up.
I think it's funny that that's thenumber against the forty nine ers on
(27:41):
Thanksgiving Night. That's a Thursday ThanksgivingNight running back. Twelve point two is
the number for Rashawn White, therunning back for the Buccaneers as they take
on the Colts, and the quarterbackposition Trevor Lawrence sixteen point oh five.
I'm not moving the line. Ithink it's funny to the middle. What
are these lines this week? Odd? Anyways? Lawrence taking that over as
(28:03):
he gets to the Texans in theirmatchup in week twelve. For reality,
I got you basically a game everyday. That's what I did for you.
I spread it out. I justlike I will my meals, as
in I'll spread them out and eatthem all very quickly. First things first.
On Thanksgiving tomorrow, I've got theDallas Cowboys hosting the Washington Commanders over
forty eight and a half points.Black Friday Jets will cover the nine and
(28:27):
a half points against the Dolphins,and then on Sunday Ravens at Chargers,
Ravens laying three and a half,lay twelve. I don't care. You
will annihilate the frauds. Brandon Saley, somebody dropped the couple of boxes off
in your office for you before youleave for the game on Sunday. Just
go ahead and put all your stuffin those because you're out. You're done.
(28:49):
I don't root for people to befired, but I can recognize when

her in for maintenance whenever it's scheduled, I got great team over there.

to buy your new vehicle for MohawksChevrolet. Together, let's drive. We've
got it covered this season from buyingselling service. Mohawks Chevrolet is your one
stop shop where they always go outof their way to please you. It's
Lovak and Gaze on the Voice ofthe Capitol Regions sports fan Fox Sports ninety
five to nine and nine eighty Timefor the Player of the Day, which
(32:08):
is brought to you by Molawks Chevrolet. Together, let's drive in Malwak Chevrolet,
where they always go out of theirway to please you. I just
heard that somewhere that was you.Was it me our Joe? I'm pretty
good? I like me. Oh, she did great, she did great.
You know what, dude, doyou have because you've got the Honda
from ma Wakanda the pilot. There'sa button on the end of my windshell
(32:30):
wiper, my my directional that itlooks like it's the auto light button,
but you already have auto lights togo on and off with the dark.
This is for high beams. Soanytime she doesn't sense a car in front
of her and it's dark and it'snasty out, she clicks the high beams
on if you have that button pushed. So I'm yelling at I pulled over
(32:51):
because I couldn't figure it out.I had to pull over and I'm yelling.
It was our first fight. ScarJoe and I my silver ride on
my black went out. We werea first fight because with the snow.
Oh, the high beams are badfor you because you can't it reflects the
light back. So I'm yelling ather, like why are you doing this
to me? And like thank godnobody drove by. They would have thought
I was out of my mind.I finally figured out it was the button
on the end there because I thoughtthat was for my fog lights, but
(33:15):
no, it was it's auto highbeams. I had no idea that was
the feature. I usually get inan argument with people who want to drive
the pilot about the auto on offsituation because I'm not an auto person.
I just need to turn them onalways. I listen. I wouldn't even
if I got an old vehicle thatdidn't do that for you, I probably
(33:37):
wouldn't have headlights on for like amile before I realized it, because it
just does. She does. Shedoes like like like a good, beautiful,
strong independent woman that she is.Scar Joe, my black, LiTi
Silver. How she does it allfor me? All right? So time
for play of the day, whichbasically, let's do this. Let's talk
about some college football. We talkeda lot of NFL. What games are
you looking at this weekend? AndI will you know, I'll finish.
(33:59):
I'll tell you about the only gamethat matters fun and not fun. Okay,
if you want to have fun,if you're somebody and this is what
we want to talk about the Bible, we to play each other in fantasy
football this week. I just sawit oh times taking on the fighting Peppa
Pigs. Yeah, Rachel and ourfriend over at gyan Kiss was telling me
how bad my team is, thatI had no comeback and I've gotten my
(34:20):
butt kicked by the Peppa Pigs thisyear, my first year in the league
involving our station. You know what. Off of that topic, back to
the fun. If you want tohave fun and you're a casual wager if
you listen to this segment and youalways thinks you guys talk about the play
the day. Thanks to Mohawks Chevy, this is a fun one to play
Thursday night, Oldness versus Mississippi Statetake the over. We are gonna probably
always be team over on the eggBowl because this is a later game.
(34:45):
You can have fun with college footballif you're a casual fan. The offenses
are known to aired out a littlebit rip to the pirate Mike Leech who
used to love to air it outin the egg Bowl. But Mississippi State
has a new head coach on theway in twenty twenty four. These kids,
I'm gonna go with the kid referencehere already do everything they can to
put on a show for potentially theirnext school that is in Mississippi State,
(35:05):
while Old miss and Lane Kiffin wantsto pound their rival over in the egg
Bowl under in Iowa Nebraska. Mygosh, Levat, I know my context
have been giving me some issues overthe past few days. Man, should
stop poking myself in the eye.A big good start. Yeah, Iowa
won the Big ten West am Iseeing this correct? This says twenty five
(35:28):
and a half as the over under, which would be the lowest college football
game in FBS history. This islisted at twenty five and a half.
The game is in Lincoln. Wehave to do it again. I run
a stat. I believe it's eightno eight no. Iowa is with all
games that are registered at under thirty, they've hit the under eight times.
(35:50):
Let's go nine for nine. Mynotes open twenty nine and a half.
It's been bet down in twenty fiveand a half under in Iowa, Nebraska.
Those are my two plays right nowthat jump out to me. And
I'd love to watch that Oregon StateOregon game. I know the Beavers that
keep rolling with them. They hada chance against Washington, a two touchdown
favorite. Oregon is in that game. God, they open it seven and
(36:14):
a half. Good gosh, yougotta take the Beavers with the points,
I would think. But I feelfar more confident in the over under fun
plays there in those two game incomparison to the other top twenty five matchups.
I will concede now to you.We've got a bet for Michigan Ohio
State involved in our sales manager ChrisPettigrasso here, who's a big time Ohio
State fan. I will tell youI like the over in the Oregon Oregon
(36:37):
State game. I'll dabble there.Uh yeah, I mean listen, here's
the deal. Michigan is hosting OhioState Open. Is a one point favorite.
They're now three and a half pointfavorite. Because it's Michigan versus the
world. We've been wronged. Youtry to take our leader away, it's
probably gonna leave and go coach theRaiders or the Bears anyway. But uh
so, they're gonna rally troops,They're gonna go out there. Ryan Day
(36:59):
is gonna up and slide home onhis own tears. That's that's what this
is gonna come down to. Threeand a half points. Yes, please,
I'm in. I'm gonna take theMichigan Wolverines all day. The wager
that has presented to me in buildingfrom this gentleman you say, is the
sales manager I have. I'll takeyour word. I don't uh, I
don't know that. By the way, if you like to advertise the bad
(37:20):
guys Chris Petagrassa. Uh he wantedwhat he wanted to do originally, is
he wanted to if Ohio State somehowbeat the Wolverines. He wanted me to
have to drive Scarjoe with an OhioState Buckeye's license plate for it. So
two things. One, I don'teven know if I have a permission to
(37:42):
do that, because obviously my truckis logoed. But more importantly, that'd
be like that'd be like putting atramp stamp on the Mona Lisa Like that
would be like that would literally belike going like, hey, can you
give me what is the what isthe Chinese character for I'm a hoe?
(38:04):
And getting that tramp stamp? Thatwould be the equivalent of putting that on
my beautiful scar Joe. So no, not gonna happen. So it's a
bloody Mary bet. We'd both likea good bloody Mary. He was nice
to have to provide a few lasttime we were all hanging over rivers.
So the loser buys bloody Mary's forthe winner. So there it is bloody
Mary bet. Uh, Chris versusme. It's an ohiose. He's an
(38:24):
Ohio State fan. Nobody's perfect.Everything else about him I seem to like,
but you know, nobody's perfect.Here's my skin report on that game,
and you and I have covered Ishould think got back. You and
I have been out live here inthe Capitol region for O High Steed RISKI
games. It felt like because wedove so deep into these games that they've
been so important that we actually wereat the games the atmospheres we've been able
to have in the past, Butbecause of other obligations this year, we
(38:45):
will not be able to be outlying for Ohio State in Michigan. Would
I break down this game? Yougo back to twenty twenty one, Aiden
Hutchinson was the best player on thefield for either team that includes CJ.
Stround. Hutchinson had a room remarkableperformance at all time great game, and
he ends up finishing second in theHeisman Trophy. He was the best player
on the field that game too.In twenty twenty two, Michigan had the
(39:10):
big plays going their favor I've splitthese bets. Twenty twenty one, I
picked Ohio State Michigan one. Itwas a huge win for Harbaugh. I
liked Michigan last year. Michigan wonthat game. I'm leaning towards Ohio State
in this game for two reasons.One, I feel like what you told
me weeks ago is true, it'sMichigan versus everybody, Like the Big Ten
(39:32):
does not want Michigan to win.They want Ohio State. Do you think
solid? Why? Because who's gonnawin the national championship? They think Ohio
State can do it. Remember backin COVID they changed the rules for Ohio
State. They said, you betterhave four conference games unless you're Ohio State,
because then we'll change it. Likethey want Ohio State to beat Michigan.
(39:53):
So this all goes away, Hell, Harbaugh might go away, and
then they get the Buckeyes to bethe team that rep by the punishment only
lasting regular season. Yes, Sohere's the second part about this. Marvin
Harrison Junior is the best player onthe field coming up on Saturday. What
can he do? Is he gonnabe like a Desmond Howard Charles Woodson and
(40:14):
I know it's Michigan, guys.Is he gonna be like that and have
a moment where he stands out inthe rivalry? Is Michigan getting be able
to slow him down? Is GusJohnson's head gonna explode? Masa, Like?
What is I think Marvin Harrison Junioris the best player on the field.
I lean towards the Buckeyes. Forthose two reasons, I'm picking against
Chad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Chad. I'm sorry, Levac.
(40:37):
I'm picking a while state in thatgame. Little known fact turf is slippery
right when it gets really wet againstslippery. So hopefully he doesn't try to
run a past route in front ofRyan Day's crying ass, because that's what
will happen in all games. RyanDay will be crying by the third quarter.
This is all about Michigan. GoBlue, Mazon Blue. Hail to
(40:57):
the victors, the leaders in bestWe may even throw the ball. We
may I even thought we may justwe may just run at them all game
and just dominate them, like likethe wusses they are. Remember Notre Dame
wins that game if they can countto eleven. Now that there's a bet
on the line between you and Chris, here's what I'd like to do.
Because I know he's listening. Iknow the phenomenal one AJ Penkowski from CBS
(41:17):
six, and hopefully our friend Chadis listening. I'm making a bet with
those two. Aj. If you'relistening, please text us and say you
know what. I know you're gonnatake Ohio State and Chad, you're gonna
take Michigan. Double down, Levak. If Michigan wins, you and Chad
both get drinks from Chris and aj over there. So the Ohio States
Wait, you're not betting, you'renot betting drinks. I'm not in this.
(41:44):
When Michigan beats Ohio State, youhave to buy Chad and I,
bloody miss, I'm not involved inthis. This is not my teams.
This is if you can't make abet for other people. So you have
now put it. You have nowdone it. You have now guaranteed a
Michigan win because you are wagering abeverage bet against the Wolverines. Thank you.
(42:04):
I appreciate you say that too late, too late, you already did.
You can't. It's out there now, It's in the ether. U
O. Chad and I drinks whenMichigan wins. What if the Ohio State
wins, though, I get thedrinks? Sure if that in that mystery
fantasy land you're making up that it'snot gonna come true? Absolutely, I
don't. I don't want to dothat. It's tough, it doesn't matter.
You know what you do need todo. So you're gonna about to
(42:24):
lose another beverage bat. When you'retold not to eve Ben, told to
behave yourself and not make these bets, you better go to Lilian David Fine
Jewelers and get something for your beautifulwife. The holiday savings are ready for

ninety five, nine nine eighty Andyou know what, Merry Christmas already.
Ah wash your hands, so toutyour face. Bye.
It's time for the top four,four with Levac and guys, drumsticks.
Please all of them, please,I want them all with gravy an extra
trip to fans. Time for thetop four or four is brought to you
by our good friends at Mohawk Honda, where they always go out of their
way to please you. Guys,what is the fourth biggest story? Let's
talk a little NBA, a littlehoops here, just because of a theory
(00:22):
we got from our guy. Ibelieve it was Jesse. It was Jesse
on Twitter who offered this ump.The NBA continues to roll on on Friday,
the day after things given. Youget the Heat and the Knicks and
the in season tournament Levac. Justbecause you and I are such non fans
of this, we're not fans ofit at all. Jesse suggested, guys,
(00:42):
what if they did dislike college basketball, Like we've been bumped by the
Maui Invitational last two days, butthe Male Invitational is all over the place
noon to midnight. So and youand I don't have a problem with in
season college basketball tournaments. To Jesse'spoint, for the NBA to have this
be more successful, why don't theychange the tip off times, to have
it throughout the day like college basketball. It's the best thought I've seen on
(01:07):
social media. What do you makeif Jesse suggested that maybe the next time
this happens, make it feel morelike college basketball with these scattered tip off
times. The problem, the problemthat I have with it as a whole
is, I mean, the biggestproblem is the fact that when you make
like the knockout round, you're gonnaplay extra games. So like the college
(01:29):
ranks, you know, there's achance that one team's gonna play twenty five,
one's gonna play thirty one, youknow, I mean, you know,
you know that there's differences out there. You know, there's differences in
a lot of plays. Some playsome have you know, the conference playoff,
the championship, all these things.So like it's already built into the
structure. It's not supposed to bepart of the structure of the NBA.
It's eighty two games. That's howyou make you play, and whoever wins
(01:52):
the most of those a two gamesis number one seed, and then you
go in the playoffs. Whoever winsthat. That's that's what happens. I
don't like any of it. Ifyou're gonna do it. Do it to
start the season, go all inon it, and then maybe you can
take like if let's say the Knickswin it, right, so they play
three extra games, maybe you godown their schedule and you take three off
(02:13):
the back end or something like that, or you make them if needed games
like playoffs. So mucht I can't. I appreciate him trying to make sense
of it all. I appreciate himlooking for a solution. I think the
number one solution for me is justto keep complaining about it. Jesse,
we appreciate you offering up that idea. All I say to this is it
goes back to what it was monthsago that the reason this is happening is
(02:34):
because the NBA's television contracts are comingup and they're trying to appease their television
partners Vegas and Vegas. Yeah,Vegas too, Like, Hey, this
is an idea for you to continueto spend with us. Here's how we've
made our product better, rather thanguys sitting out and not getting the ratings
that you want or what you toldyour sponsors that this would be the rating
and it would hit because Steph Kerr, I don't pick on Steph Crey,
(02:55):
Kawhi, Leonard Kyriid durant at Hardenthat these guys play and they didn't.
Here's what's to a piece you.It's a nice idea, but I don't
think they're really interested in a noontipoff and your Thanksgiving. That's how they
make It's whoever we give you.Look, people are gonna care because it's
Vegas. I might take a littleheat here for putting this as low as
three in the top four to four, but college basketball's going on again for
(03:19):
the third time, the Maui Invitational. Syracuse gotta beat a few times.
So you can listen to Syracuse tonightWGY, our sister station eight thirty.
The coverage gets underway tonight nine thirty. Tip off out in Hawaiian nine thirty
Eastern. That's when you can hearit. But I kind of want to
look forward to a game coming upon Sunday. Levak You and I are
still scheduled eleven oh one Rivers CasinoResort will previous NFL Action and more.
(03:40):
But also going on Sunday here locallyis the Albany Cup. The U all
be Great Danes taking on Sienna.I put it at three here Levak.
Maybe most weekends we could argue thiscould be the number one story locally.
I feel like it's down this yearbecause both teams are just struggling so early
this season. I honestly like,I haven't seen I think it's part of
(04:03):
the whole cut in the cord thing. I haven't seen as much about it.
Like I was. I forgot alittle bit about it because I'm so
in on you Albany football right now. And then I was at Stuart's and
I saw it on the thing.I'm like, oh God, that's that's
here. I think it's down alittle bit because people are now aware of
the fact that the trophy itself isyour athletic cup. It's the Albany Cup
(04:24):
is actually Gaz's cup. It's it'shis jocksas jockstrat, not what it is.
So you get painted. He painteda gold though. So I think
it's gonna be really I think it'sbe really nice. It's small, it's
very tiny, but it should work. You know what's before the vacation.
I'll have a little fun with this. Uh. To my own question,
Yes, both teams are struggling.That's why it's taking a little bit of
(04:46):
excitement off of it because Sienna can'tscore right now. Kevin Sweeney, our
guy from Sports Illustrated, I lovehis quote about Sienna about Hey, what's
going on with the Saints? Hegoes, well, I've heard from people
I talked to that they're calling theSaints of daycare because they're so young.
I don't know what else you cando with that, Like, that's how
young this team is. For theSaints, ask for you all. But
they've had so many transfers and coachingchanges and everything, it's hard for that
(05:08):
program to figure out who the impactplayers are on that side of it.
Did you see Mark Singles battling withour pal d Scott on Twitter yesterday a
little bit, a little bit.I gotta admit, I see your stuff
has been great. You have afantastic this better stuff. He's been a
lot more positively and funny, butthat he took kind of a negative tone
(05:33):
with this story. I will,I'm gonna do it. I'm sorry,
I'm gonna do I'm you salty dog, you me you you love this because
let's be honest, Siena basketball shouldbe on a sports station and somebody in
(05:54):
the other room for me right now. Who I'm looking at is also on
the microphone, worked his ass offto get them on this station. And
I'll say it, some some belowboard moves may have happened that that didn't
allow that they should have been here. They should have been here, they
should have been here. All I'llsay is this to that comment, uh,
(06:16):
to not get myself in trouble,I'll say this. I'll say it.
I felt very vindicated by Mark Singlaceand fellow sports fans. I don't
usually Levac. I think you wereproud of me last night because usually when
there's a little bit of chaos onsocial media, I watch and then send
them to you and say look whatI'm watching tonight, and I pour myself
and I tall one and say,oh, this is gonna be fun.
(06:39):
Tonight. Was the Kermit sipping teamall last night. Oh but I got
in got Dale Claus out. Isaid, you're right, Mark Singlace,
I ever told you how smart youare. And then our boy d Scott
Diving write it there I am sendingout memes. So yeah, look,
I felt a little vindicated yesterday thatpeople are taking heat of where Sienna is
to I don't look that's not mesaying that. That is social media.
(07:02):
That is not well. That guy'smaking stuff up. People are realizing,
huh, that's a little odd,that's a little strange. I'll go back
to sip at Mike Tina. Idon't even like. I wouldn't care if
I didn't know how and some peoplewho there are people who work very hard
on both sides to make it workover here. That's the only reason I
(07:24):
care. I don't care. Likeif I've got I've got a phone and
everything I can see where and whenit's gonna play, I don't. I
don't. I don't care. LikeI'll tune in if I want to tune
in, I'll tune in. IfI want to go, I'll go.
But like, when I know howhard people work to try and make that,
that makes me because she did youwork very hard on that, and
it's one of the few things Iactually see you put effort into. So
all right, back to Rumber storynumber two. That's where we need to
(07:46):
be. That's exactly See if I, if I didn't throw the insult in
gods like and then we would haveto hug. Yes, you would have
uh. College football, if you'rea fan of the egg Bowl. You
know it's on thanks So if youwant to fire off and over for the
egg Bowl, just out of your'scoming down though over under and I think
I think it over like sixty isdown in the fifties. Now, it's
(08:09):
so much makes me nervous firing offan egg Bowl over That is seven o'clock
on Thursday. Also right here,if you missed it earlier in the show,
We've got some college football for youon Friday. It's gonna be ahead
of US TCU in Oklahoma, thatBig twelve Friday game. Tons of action,
always a lot of fun. That'salmost a Lavac and Gods tradition on
that day after Thanksgiving. We're preemptedby Big twelve football. But we've got
(08:31):
that on OFX coming up on Friday. And then you say preemptive, I
say, I'm still in a coma, not gonna make it over here.
Syracuse Football plays at one o'clock,two o'clock kickoff, one o'clock pregame on
wg Y two o'clock kickoff. Youall bey a bye week, yes,
sit back and watching Ithaca Courtland Unionall playing in the Sweet sixteen of the
(08:54):
D three College Football playoffs. Shoutout to UNI as n that large bit
getting that win over Delaware Valley,and it feels I'm just stalling because I'm
not talking about the big game ofthe weekend, the game that's Stanford.
Call Ohio State Michigan that we cantalk about this now unless you want to
give or later Michigan later if wewant to give some love to you Albany
coach here and then, because Ican't bet on you Albany, maybe I'll
(09:20):
talk a little bit more about Michiganduring Play of the Day at the end
of the show. Love love,love that this team is getting the respect
it deserves, that Gatusa is gettingthe respect he deserves. Coach of the
Year for the CIA. I've heard. I have no way to substantiate this
in any way, Oh, JEFFIscoops. I have no way to substantiate
this anyway. And I did reachout to certain people and they they told
(09:43):
me that if I want to talkto them, I'll talk to them in
person and stop pretending I'm important becauseI'm named a president. I've heard that
mister Catuso coach Catuso is one ofthe names that is on the list to
replace your boy. Do you knowbapers whoa I don't know how high on
that he is, and he again, he won't talk to me. Let's
I take the time to come seehim in person. At this point,
I think somebody's feeling himself that he'scoach of the year. But yeah,
(10:07):
no, I've heard from a coupleof different people. I know that he's
His name has at least been mentionedas somebody they need to take a look
at. That makes too much sensefor someone who recruited Aaron Donald shared first.
For somebody at the FCS level whohas his team ranked, however you
want to say the rankings are fifth, seventh, twelfth, it's on place
(10:28):
and the fifth seed. I wouldsay, if you're the fifth seed,
you should be ranked fifth. Nowthat we're in the postseason, so you've
got a team in upstate New York, let's not make that the argument on
this Upstate New York ranked fifth inthe country. Who has the leader in
the FCS in passing yards, whocan enter the portal if he wants to.
We've already seen how the portals affectedEu Walbany, who has a pipeline
to Pennsylvania and New York, recruits. It makes a ton of sense what
(10:52):
you're hearing that he would get acall from an FBS program, especially one
with an opening. I wouldn't beshocked if his name popped up for corn
Like Cornell, I believe is lookingfor a head coach and their ivy league
and all the things I just saidabout Syracuse. Would mention, Oh gosh,
one's ith the co onon Syracuse.I would say the difference between those
two from all but he's got tobe less than an hour though. All
(11:15):
right, well, I don't Idon't want. I don't want my friend
to leave it all. But ifhe does, I want to go to
the one that's closer and then orI'll go with him to Syracuse and live
your dream. That's that's hurtful.It's the holiday season. I'm moving on.
I'll send you a hat story.Number one is Thanksgiving Action. It
is week twelve of the NFL,and again you can join us rivers Casino

like it always is. But whenyou get Thursday, Friday, Sunday

it, not even with a stick. I've heard very cool stuff. I'm
(12:22):
excited. This is this is thethe most fun to be had. I
actually I was talking to a friendof mine and they were introducing me to
a new person that will be partof our group in some way, shape
or form. And uh, theygo, oh, what do you to
this new person? They go,oh, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
I don't celebrate Thanksgiving? I went, I don't need to know you,
and I walked away. And likeeveryone's like a I'm like, I
(12:46):
didn't come back. I still havenot talk to that person again. That
was two days ago. I justcome on, you know, there's a
lot there's a lot of hills youwant to you might want to die.
And that's not the one man.It's Thanksgiving's turkey. Come on now about
love target figure out your viewing patternsfor Thanksgiving. That's what I've learned here
over the Peters. Like for me, I got it. There you go.
The screen is like you might haveto concede at the in law or
(13:07):
the grandparents. Like maybe early inthe day the kids might think they're getting
cartoons or something or some type oflike parade situation and all. All right,
check out the screen over here.Put the kids to the bend a
little early parade done, Santa Clauscomes to town. And then football.
That's right, football, Bobby Buche. That's what's up. That's why I
(13:28):
have two living rooms. I'm actuallyturned the dining room into a living room
just for that occasion. All right. That is the top four or four
was brought to you by Mohawk Honda. Right now, I'll tell you about
actually I sent I sent my guy, Ben over to Elevation ten thousand today
to pick up some stuff. Ohokay, always working with oviously he was
Ben had a jacket. He wantedto have the Firebirds logo. So I
(13:50):
call over, Hey, guys,okay, we think you care. That's
like absolutely, you know, runyour bill, but you know it's you
get quality stuff done. It's alldone by the same people. It's beautiful.
I love it. So whatever Ineed did to elevate the brand of
the Firebirds, They've been there forus the whole time. They're still working
with us on the Lavak Guy's merchpage. They're They're a big part of
making sure everybody knows that the FireWolvesseasons about the Gunner Away like Elevation ten
(14:13):
thousand is secretly and not so secretly, behind the scenes and in front of
everybody, making sure they're elevating brandsand getting the message out for a bunch
of different people. Ben will understandthis, and maybe younger listeners, or
if you're an uncle or a grandpaor a dead and you don't understand the
impact of social media and graphics andbanners and marketing, Oh my, Ben
at the Firebirds is a great exampleof look at this audience I'm connecting you
with. Look at what a signingmeans. When this gets out on the
(14:35):
internet, you're gonna find out exactlywhat your business is doing your holiday season.
Let's say you're a small business rightnow or a medium science business.
What social media posts are you puttingup to engage with your audience during the
holiday break? What are you showingto your audience to make sure they're coming
back to find out a message?Now those two questions, I'm gonna said
it. Now you feel guilt like, oh no, I didn't do any
of those things. If you're startingto fall short this holiday season, you're
(14:56):
not getting your message out the wayyou want. This is another opportunity to
reach out to Elevation ten thousand,those things like social media posts, those
things like SEO making sure your nameis on the top of customers minds as
holiday season. If you're starting todrop the ball a little bit, Elevation
ten thousand is who you want towork for to make sure it doesn't happen
again. Absolutely, I mean seriously, elevate your brand today. Go to
(15:18):
Elevation tenk dot com. Elevate yourbrand with Elevation ten thousand. Fantasy Versus
Reality next right here, The facGuy's Fox Sports Radio ninety five, nine
to nine eighty. It's time forfantasy every year. I set this league
up every year and I never win. It's just a year. Oh a
lineup store, Stop stupid Different versusReality. Baby, We done it well,
(15:41):
Ridge Baby, break out. Thered panties were Ridge Baby with the
Vacan Gods. Time of all Fantasyversus Reality is brought to you by our
good friends over at Hooters. Yougotta love some Hoo tears for football.
The orange roof has always been goodto us. Beer specials during football going
on. It's three ninety nine fordrafts of Miller like cors Light, four
(16:07):
ninety nine drafts of Sam Adams andSam Seasonal. I went the extra play,
you join me and went the extraplay. You put your big boy
pants on. We both picked fourin last week's instead of three. I
went three and one. I forthe second consecutive week, thought I had
a tie, but I got itto hit. Let's go three in one
(16:29):
for me as well. Thank youJoshua Dobbs for getting to three and one
as well. So I am twentyfour and ten on the season for the
reality guys now in the starting towin fifteen, fourteen and five. So
you're you you finally you're not aloser, but you're still not beating me.
You won the week before, wetied this week, so you get
(16:49):
to choose who goes first. RememberI pick against the spread. I'm I'm
using the fan duel lap today justbecause that's why I had opened when we
started break and that's what I'm gonnause. You go with fantasy football players
against their projected total half point PPR. If you're less than a point,
(17:10):
you counted as a tie. Hootersshout out to all the things going on
on under the Orange roof, whetherit's great wing specials, drink specials,
and more. If you're looking fora place, especially with maybe some friends
and family in town, take onunder the Orange roof. Have a great
time. Levac and I always havea wonderful time watching football action from Thursday,
Friday, Sunday and Monday. Ourspot is Hooters on Wolf Road.
I just realized I'm sitting around withthis like Twao throw What am I going
(17:30):
to do about this? I've hada bottle of water sitting all time.
H Levack explain the rules. I'mstarting with a quarterback position also factor in.
This is a maybe an earlier waywe look at these lines. Who
cares? I'm taking it right now. Lock it in. Thirteenth best quarterback
ranked this week and a half pointPPR leagues according to Yahoo. I'm stunned
by this number. That's Jacksonville Jaguarquarterback Trevor Lawrence. Treylor Lawrence had a
(17:55):
nice fantasy performance last week. Howabout a passing touchdown to rushing touchdowns?
Now? I wonder if they're notgiving him enough love for this? Is
Lawrence again one more time. Thirteenthbest quarterback this week. Lawrence's number is
sixteen point oh five. I'm notgonna round it up. I'm not gonna
round it down. I want itexactly at sixteen point oh five. The
Texans, as exciting as they've beenthis season, have allowed the eighth most
(18:19):
fantasy points to quarterbacks so far thisseason. So you're telling me, Trevor
Lawrence at a battle for what couldbe the top team in the AFC South,
is it this the game counting thepostseason? The most pressure on him
so far in his career as aJacks quarterback, I know we had the
great comeback win last year against theCharters and everything else, but this is
a big game in the history ofTrevor Lawrence's career, the Golden Boy,
(18:41):
the hair, everything else. Hewatched the show he's the best quarterback in
the AFC South. Because now there'salready a question with a young career of
CJ. Stroud. Give me Lawrenceto beat his number of sixteen point oh
five against Houston this weekend. Allright, you know I like that.
I'm a big, big te lawfan. It's good to see you on
his side. This week means you'llhate him next week. My number one,
(19:03):
we're gonna start my number one,doesn't nicer number one. The second
game on Thanksgiving, the Washington Commanderstraveled to Dallas to take on the Cowboys.
Cowboys open as a ten and ahalf point I think a nine and
half pay favorite. A lot ofplaces, they're up to twelve and a
half points. People piling on theBoys total of forty eight and a half.
As I'm breaking down this game andhow I was looking at it,
(19:26):
I started thinking, Okay, anytimetouchdown scores love Ceedee Lamb loved the tight
end Jake Ferguson. You know,I could see maybe one of the backs
made Tony Pollard getting in four MBoys, and I was like, I
definitely like Brian Robinson for Washington.I was like, wait minute, that's
the only one I really like.So that's telling me I like the Cowboys
(19:48):
in this game right, Well,what it really is telling me I like
I like points. I like lotsof points. I think when you are
sitting there watching this second game,maybe you did the early dinner, maybe
you're just maybe you're at the tableand you're giving yourself a wrench neck looking
over the shoulder to see the game. I think you're gonna see a lot
of scoring. There's be a lotof points in this game. This one.
(20:10):
These guys are gonna earn those drumsticks. They're gonna earn that trip to
Fancoma. Give me the over offorty eight and a half Cowboys commanders on
Turkey Day. Nothing better than pointswhen everyone's just hanging out and showing themselves
action on a guest, I'm rootingfor that to even though we're competing against
each other selfishly competition. I'm comingback and it starts with picks like this
(20:33):
at the running back position. Wejust have to admit sometimes that when you
play fantasy football and you have afavorite team, sometimes those opinions clash a
little bit. And this is aperfect example of this. I'm talking about
Tampa Bay Buccaneer running back Rashond White. Now, look, if you told
me what I thought about him,I would tell you preseason that he's stunk.
That he's only there because the Buccaneersaren't gonna be very good and they're
(20:56):
rebuilding. They're gonna look towards thedraft to bring somebody else. And remember,
back in August, my guy,Sean Tucker, who was considered in
the fall of twenty twenty two,is a third to fifth round PICKO was
gonna take carries away from White.It looked like that was gonna be a
thing. It's not a thing.It's not. And White's pretty good,
(21:17):
especially fantasy football wise. He's abetter fantasy football player than maybe an actual
football player. What do I meanby that? How about double digit performances
in week seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. He has been
an awesome fantasy football player in ahalf point PPR leagues. So let's keep
it rolling. Let's see if hecan go six consecutive weeks with a double
(21:37):
digit performance out of the backfield.He ranks fourteenth according to half point PPR
projections, and his number this weekis twelve point nine to one. We'll
put it at twelve point two.We'll rout it up for White. Here
he gets the Colts defense the Buccaneersdo, who've allowed the fourth most Fantasy
football points to running backs so farthis season. You give me a six
tot eight week of double digits anda Buccaneer team who needs this somehow is
(22:00):
still in contention for the South Divisionchampionship. This one's on White. I
like his number. I think hebeats it against Indianapolis this weekend. If
you can see here on my notes, guys, I circled the games I
was thinking about, and I circledTampa Bay plus two and a half.
But my only note was, damnay, isn't that bad? Dot dot right?
So I decided not to pick thatgame. I moved on to Black
(22:22):
Friday. You got the Miami Dolphinslay in nine and a half points at
Jet Life Stadium against the Jets totalof forty one. Here's the deal.
The Miami Dolphins have one of thefastest teams you've ever seen on offense.
Like Al Davis is in the graveright now, as the former Raiders owner,
going, why didn't we get alllike this is us? Like this
is what we do? Y know? Go deep, dude, what's up?
(22:45):
And the truth is they're really goodand they could very easily cover this
nine and a half against the Jetswith the firepower they have. However,
Tyreek Hill is banged up, acient, he's he's banged up again. This
team just got the hands put tohim by the Raiders. The Raiders beat
(23:07):
them up. They could only beatthe Raiders by a touchdown. They probably
should have lost that game if AidanO'Connell was just a little bit more experienced
or the Raiders had you know,a good a good like Pro Bowl style
of quarterback. That being said,the Jets defense is light years better than
the Raiders defense. At home spotlightgame Black Friday, first ever Black Friday
game in the history of the NFL, the Jets will cover the number jay
(23:33):
E Tes Jets, Jets, Jets. Yeah, this is this is the
Jets plus nine and a half allday, every day. Gosh. That
was my favorite play of the weekendbecause of all the storylines you laid out,
because how back in the summer everyoneloved the Jets. Now they're hopping
off. That's a perfect I'm suretheir offense has boiled, but it's okay.
(23:56):
My final play here, this isgonna be an awesome one on Thursday
night between the forty nine Ers andthe Seahawks. My second favorite playoffut was
wagering on games would be the Seahawksand the forty nine Ers because you get
the twelfth man. That game isin Seattle, like I want a triple
check to make sure that game isin front of the twelfth Man. The
NFL decided to make that happen.Okay, Now, Gino Smith got benched,
(24:18):
hurt, injured. Do we reallyknow what happened last week for the
Seattle Seahawks in that matchup? Weknow Gino Smith didn't play and Drew Locke
got on the field. Well,I don't know what's gonna happen Sunday night,
except that the crowd's gonna be wildin that game. Remember Doug Baldwin,
angry Doug Ball, Doug Baldwin.Are we gonna get an angry Tyler
Lockett on Sunday night, because whoeverthrew him in the football, Locket can
(24:41):
be the difference for that offense,especially with San Francisco forty nine er defense
really tough upfront. Give me Lockettnine point nine to nine in a matchup
with the forty nine Ers, whohave allowed the eighth most Fantasy Football points
to wide receivers this season. Rememberto be careful about that stant involving the
nine too, because when you seereally good teams giving up a lot of
(25:02):
points to wide receivers and quarterbacks,how much of that percentages in garbage time?
Do you know they're gonna throw thefootball because they're trailing so much in
the game. I'm willing to getthat. I'm willing to find out.
Tyler Lockett, I have bad littleto a second Twitter battle. I'm referencing
today. People used to say thatI underrated Tyler Lockett. You know what,
Happy Thanksgiving. You better not screwthis up or I'll see you stink
(25:23):
again. Tyler Lockett, nine pointnine is the number against the Niners.
I'm taking the over. I don'tknow if I misshard. I thought you
said Sunday night a couple of timesand you had me freaking out. I
was looking at the wrong stuff Idid. Maybe it was me, maybe
I heard it, but if hedid, it's Thursday night, just right
now, Thanksgiving night, because I'mlooking at him like, wow, this
Sunday night game. I was actuallylike looking at that, I, you
(25:44):
know, because probably the play I'mgonna make, Because like I look through
all the games and there's a lotof things I like. There's a lot
of teams that I like. Idon't know why I've become welliam shot there.
I like the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ithink as the fault there's gonna focused
on Nonjay Harris getting in the endzone. I like your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I like the Buffalo Bills. There'sonly one team I like playing a
(26:10):
team I hate. And if Ican do the little hater right at the
end with supporting a team that Ibelieve is one of the best teams in
the NFL, well, then whoam I to get in the way of
my hatred. I have to embracethe hate, just like the dark side
of the Force. And that iswhy, my friends, my third and
final pick for Fantasy Versus Reality ispart of this game. The Baltimore Ravens
(26:32):
laying three and a half points atthe Los Angeles Frauds. I'm sorry,
Chargers, total of forty six anda half points. Frauds. Frauds,
frauds, frauds, frauds. TheChargers are a joke. The Ravens are
legit. I know they don't haveMark Andrews. I know everybody is still
talking about the diversion of Lamar Jackson, who can't throw outside the numbers.
That's not the dude you're dealing withanymore. He's not great at it,
(26:56):
but he can do it, andhe can do it well enough to beat
a fraudulent team in the Los AngelesChargers, who, by the way,
they won't really have great home fieldadvantage because they never do. I don't
know how well Ravens fans travel.I believe they'd probably go on a flock
or or an unkindness. But Ithink this is a game that you gotta
love. The Ravens minus three anda half points give me Baltimore over the
(27:19):
Los Angeles fraudulent Chargers. Ooh,it's time to recap now, right,
let's go all right, I'm gonnago backwards here, wide receiver and half
point PPR leaks projected by a guywho trying to get over on these plays,
and if you're a weekly fantasy player, put these in your lineup as
well. Tyler Lockett nine point nineto nine. I'm not rounded it up.
I think it's funny that that's thenumber against the forty nine ers on
(27:41):
Thanksgiving Night. That's a Thursday ThanksgivingNight running back. Twelve point two is
the number for Rashawn White, therunning back for the Buccaneers as they take
on the Colts, and the quarterbackposition Trevor Lawrence sixteen point oh five.
I'm not moving the line. Ithink it's funny to the middle. What
are these lines this week? Odd? Anyways? Lawrence taking that over as
(28:03):
he gets to the Texans in theirmatchup in week twelve. For reality,
I got you basically a game everyday. That's what I did for you.
I spread it out. I justlike I will my meals, as
in I'll spread them out and eatthem all very quickly. First things first.
On Thanksgiving tomorrow, I've got theDallas Cowboys hosting the Washington Commanders over
forty eight and a half points.Black Friday Jets will cover the nine and
(28:27):
a half points against the Dolphins,and then on Sunday Ravens at Chargers,
Ravens laying three and a half,lay twelve. I don't care. You
will annihilate the frauds. Brandon Saley, somebody dropped the couple of boxes off
in your office for you before youleave for the game on Sunday. Just
go ahead and put all your stuffin those because you're out. You're done.

from ma Wakanda the pilot. There'sa button on the end of my windshell
(32:30):
wiper, my my directional that itlooks like it's the auto light button,
but you already have auto lights togo on and off with the dark.
This is for high beams. Soanytime she doesn't sense a car in front
of her and it's dark and it'snasty out, she clicks the high beams
on if you have that button pushed. So I'm yelling at I pulled over
(32:51):
because I couldn't figure it out.I had to pull over and I'm yelling.
It was our first fight. ScarJoe and I my silver ride on
my black went out. We werea first fight because with the snow.
Oh, the high beams are badfor you because you can't it reflects the
light back. So I'm yelling ather, like why are you doing this
to me? And like thank godnobody drove by. They would have thought
I was out of my mind.I finally figured out it was the button
on the end there because I thoughtthat was for my fog lights, but
(33:15):
no, it was it's auto highbeams. I had no idea that was
the feature. I usually get inan argument with people who want to drive
the pilot about the auto on offsituation because I'm not an auto person.
I just need to turn them onalways. I listen. I wouldn't even
if I got an old vehicle thatdidn't do that for you, I probably
(33:37):
wouldn't have headlights on for like amile before I realized it, because it
just does. She does. Shedoes like like like a good, beautiful,
strong independent woman that she is.Scar Joe, my black, LiTi
Silver. How she does it allfor me? All right? So time
for play of the day, whichbasically, let's do this. Let's talk
about some college football. We talkeda lot of NFL. What games are
you looking at this weekend? AndI will you know, I'll finish.
(33:59):
I'll tell you about the only gamethat matters fun and not fun. Okay,
if you want to have fun,if you're somebody and this is what
we want to talk about the Bible, we to play each other in fantasy
football this week. I just sawit oh times taking on the fighting Peppa
Pigs. Yeah, Rachel and ourfriend over at gyan Kiss was telling me
how bad my team is, thatI had no comeback and I've gotten my
(34:20):
butt kicked by the Peppa Pigs thisyear, my first year in the league
involving our station. You know what. Off of that topic, back to
the fun. If you want tohave fun and you're a casual wager if
you listen to this segment and youalways thinks you guys talk about the play
the day. Thanks to Mohawks Chevy, this is a fun one to play
Thursday night, Oldness versus Mississippi Statetake the over. We are gonna probably
always be team over on the eggBowl because this is a later game.
(34:45):
You can have fun with college footballif you're a casual fan. The offenses
are known to aired out a littlebit rip to the pirate Mike Leech who
used to love to air it outin the egg Bowl. But Mississippi State
has a new head coach on theway in twenty twenty four. These kids,
I'm gonna go with the kid referencehere already do everything they can to
put on a show for potentially theirnext school that is in Mississippi State,
(35:05):
while Old miss and Lane Kiffin wantsto pound their rival over in the egg
Bowl under in Iowa Nebraska. Mygosh, Levat, I know my context
have been giving me some issues overthe past few days. Man, should
stop poking myself in the eye.A big good start. Yeah, Iowa
won the Big ten West am Iseeing this correct? This says twenty five
(35:28):
and a half as the over under, which would be the lowest college football
game in FBS history. This islisted at twenty five and a half.
The game is in Lincoln. Wehave to do it again. I run
a stat. I believe it's eightno eight no. Iowa is with all
games that are registered at under thirty, they've hit the under eight times.
(35:50):
Let's go nine for nine. Mynotes open twenty nine and a half.
It's been bet down in twenty fiveand a half under in Iowa, Nebraska.
Those are my two plays right nowthat jump out to me. And
I'd love to watch that Oregon StateOregon game. I know the Beavers that
keep rolling with them. They hada chance against Washington, a two touchdown
favorite. Oregon is in that game. God, they open it seven and
(36:14):
a half. Good gosh, yougotta take the Beavers with the points,
I would think. But I feelfar more confident in the over under fun
plays there in those two game incomparison to the other top twenty five matchups.
I will concede now to you.We've got a bet for Michigan Ohio
State involved in our sales manager ChrisPettigrasso here, who's a big time Ohio
State fan. I will tell youI like the over in the Oregon Oregon
(36:37):
State game. I'll dabble there.Uh yeah, I mean listen, here's
the deal. Michigan is hosting OhioState Open. Is a one point favorite.
They're now three and a half pointfavorite. Because it's Michigan versus the
world. We've been wronged. Youtry to take our leader away, it's
probably gonna leave and go coach theRaiders or the Bears anyway. But uh
so, they're gonna rally troops,They're gonna go out there. Ryan Day
(36:59):
is gonna up and slide home onhis own tears. That's that's what this
is gonna come down to. Threeand a half points. Yes, please,
I'm in. I'm gonna take theMichigan Wolverines all day. The wager
that has presented to me in buildingfrom this gentleman you say, is the
sales manager I have. I'll takeyour word. I don't uh, I
don't know that. By the way, if you like to advertise the bad
(37:20):
guys Chris Petagrassa. Uh he wantedwhat he wanted to do originally, is
he wanted to if Ohio State somehowbeat the Wolverines. He wanted me to
have to drive Scarjoe with an OhioState Buckeye's license plate for it. So
two things. One, I don'teven know if I have a permission to
(37:42):
do that, because obviously my truckis logoed. But more importantly, that'd
be like that'd be like putting atramp stamp on the Mona Lisa Like that
would be like that would literally belike going like, hey, can you
give me what is the what isthe Chinese character for I'm a hoe?
(38:04):
And getting that tramp stamp? Thatwould be the equivalent of putting that on
my beautiful scar Joe. So no, not gonna happen. So it's a
bloody Mary bet. We'd both likea good bloody Mary. He was nice
to have to provide a few lasttime we were all hanging over rivers.
So the loser buys bloody Mary's forthe winner. So there it is bloody
Mary bet. Uh, Chris versusme. It's an ohiose. He's an
(38:24):
Ohio State fan. Nobody's perfect.Everything else about him I seem to like,
but you know, nobody's perfect.Here's my skin report on that game,
and you and I have covered Ishould think got back. You and
I have been out live here inthe Capitol region for O High Steed RISKI
games. It felt like because wedove so deep into these games that they've
been so important that we actually wereat the games the atmospheres we've been able
to have in the past, Butbecause of other obligations this year, we
(38:45):
will not be able to be outlying for Ohio State in Michigan. Would
I break down this game? Yougo back to twenty twenty one, Aiden
Hutchinson was the best player on thefield for either team that includes CJ.
Stround. Hutchinson had a room remarkableperformance at all time great game, and
he ends up finishing second in theHeisman Trophy. He was the best player
on the field that game too.In twenty twenty two, Michigan had the
(39:10):
big plays going their favor I've splitthese bets. Twenty twenty one, I
picked Ohio State Michigan one. Itwas a huge win for Harbaugh. I
liked Michigan last year. Michigan wonthat game. I'm leaning towards Ohio State
in this game for two reasons.One, I feel like what you told
me weeks ago is true, it'sMichigan versus everybody, Like the Big Ten
(39:32):
does not want Michigan to win.They want Ohio State. Do you think
solid? Why? Because who's gonnawin the national championship? They think Ohio
State can do it. Remember backin COVID they changed the rules for Ohio
State. They said, you betterhave four conference games unless you're Ohio State,
because then we'll change it. Likethey want Ohio State to beat Michigan.
(39:53):
So this all goes away, Hell, Harbaugh might go away, and
then they get the Buckeyes to bethe team that rep by the punishment only
lasting regular season. Yes, Sohere's the second part about this. Marvin
Harrison Junior is the best player onthe field coming up on Saturday. What
can he do? Is he gonnabe like a Desmond Howard Charles Woodson and
(40:14):
I know it's Michigan, guys.Is he gonna be like that and have
a moment where he stands out inthe rivalry? Is Michigan getting be able
to slow him down? Is GusJohnson's head gonna explode? Masa, Like?
What is I think Marvin Harrison Junioris the best player on the field.
I lean towards the Buckeyes. Forthose two reasons, I'm picking against
Chad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Chad. I'm sorry, Levac.
(40:37):
I'm picking a while state in thatgame. Little known fact turf is slippery
right when it gets really wet againstslippery. So hopefully he doesn't try to
run a past route in front ofRyan Day's crying ass, because that's what
will happen in all games. RyanDay will be crying by the third quarter.
This is all about Michigan. GoBlue, Mazon Blue. Hail to
(40:57):
the victors, the leaders in bestWe may even throw the ball. We
may I even thought we may justwe may just run at them all game
and just dominate them, like likethe wusses they are. Remember Notre Dame
wins that game if they can countto eleven. Now that there's a bet
on the line between you and Chris, here's what I'd like to do.
Because I know he's listening. Iknow the phenomenal one AJ Penkowski from CBS
(41:17):
six, and hopefully our friend Chadis listening. I'm making a bet with
those two. Aj. If you'relistening, please text us and say you
know what. I know you're gonnatake Ohio State and Chad, you're gonna
take Michigan. Double down, Levak. If Michigan wins, you and Chad
both get drinks from Chris and aj over there. So the Ohio States
Wait, you're not betting, you'renot betting drinks. I'm not in this.
(41:44):
When Michigan beats Ohio State, youhave to buy Chad and I,
bloody miss, I'm not involved inthis. This is not my teams.
This is if you can't make abet for other people. So you have
now put it. You have nowdone it. You have now guaranteed a
Michigan win because you are wagering abeverage bet against the Wolverines. Thank you.
(42:04):
I appreciate you say that too late, too late, you already did.
You can't. It's out there now, It's in the ether. U
O. Chad and I drinks whenMichigan wins. What if the Ohio State
wins, though, I get thedrinks? Sure if that in that mystery
fantasy land you're making up that it'snot gonna come true? Absolutely, I
don't. I don't want to dothat. It's tough, it doesn't matter.
You know what you do need todo. So you're gonna about to
(42:24):
