(01:17):
Friday tops, No, you guys have some kind of other
plan on Friday. Originally I was supposed to do Friday
but you guys have another plan, which is fine with me.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm never a part of those plans. I just do
the show. But that's interesting. I thought you were just
bailing out on this one.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
No, no, I will no. But you know, I do
like to be because I'm going to be here for
a significant amount of time, significant four fifths of the week.
I would like to ask I like to build a
bit of a foundation. Okay, before we launch into the
week of sports talk radio here on the national level
(01:56):
on Fox Sports Radio, which is a great respectibility and
privilege that I don't take lightly very serious. Nice and uh,
I need to build a foundation of just what's going on.
So I do need to know what everybody's been I
heard about Lee's weekend was just riveting in the last segment.
(02:18):
Glad I got on early there, But I do LeVar,
what was your weekend? Like, what are you coming off?
I know you were in State College over the weekend.
Maybe I'm LeVar Man, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Like that's that's that's the one thing that I love
about State College, Pa. I'm not mister Arrington. I'm not like,
you know, who's that guy or whatever. I'm LeVar and
that's I always enjoy that when I go to State
College p you know, right, so you were there, yeah,
being LeVar, I wasn't being I mean, I am LeVar,
(02:52):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It's just really cool.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Like I was telling my wife, I'm like, you know,
you can go a whole lot of places in the
world no one ever knows who you are or this,
that and the other.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And I was like, I'm Leavar, and you.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Know, in State it is funny being the captain of
the USC football team, even when when way back in
the nineties and I played, when you played, nobody knew me,
Like it's la you know what I mean. And if
you were here, no one would know you either. I
mean you were you were a thousand times. You know.
I always have to imagine that, right, I've always talked
(03:26):
about it. I always talked about it with people that
are like you and not. I mean, you're one of
the more recognizable college football players, both of you guys,
really in the last thirty years. So I'm always trying
to qualify what I say to you or how I
say it, or how I try to relate with you guys,
because you guys were legitimately famous football players. And I
was like a short yardage tailback on really bad USC teams.
(03:50):
But that being said, I was a captain of the
football team, and I did do a lot of media,
and I spent time with football players that were a
lot more famous and recognizable than me, like Carson Palmer
and Troy And you could take them anywhere in LA
and not a damn person would know who they were.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
See. You know, that's a great recruit.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
And so all the recruits out there, why the hell
would you go to USC.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
You could go to state college. You could go to
state college. And it's like cheers. Every other person is
like hey, LeVar.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Like I'm walking down the street, people rolling down the windows,
what's up, LeVar? Like I'm sitting at the restaurant. Everything good, LeVar.
Like it's they're not intrusive, They're they're not overbearing, they're
just just wrecked. Like there's LeVar Like, I think it's
the coolest thing. Pe I'm just being on.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I mean, I think it's wonderful too. Go ahead, Brady,
I'm sorry now. I was just gonna say, I'd hope
they'd recognize you. They're in happy value. It's not a
very big place. I mean, Petro's just pointing out the
fact that Los Angeles is like the second biggest city
in the country.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It's a little easier to think for some of the
guys to get lost.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
In the mixtic.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, I think it's like, the bottom line is, no
matter what the reason is, if Metros as the captain
of the team, or Troy Polamalu or Chris Claiborne. I mean,
I'm sure Reggie Bush kind of I'm sure they know
Reggie Bush.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Liner thing was interesting and we'll get into that. But okay,
you're you're right. I mean I used to tell people
on their recruiting trips to USC, like, listen, you go
to Tennessee, the water Boys getting laid out of here
if you ain't some producer's son or one of these
frat boys and a beamer or with us shooting dice
(05:30):
below Vermont. You know, spring football, nobody's here. You know,
we didn't go to Hollywood. And that's the one thing
that I talk a lot to players that are my
age and USC types. You know, we we were a
South Central Los Angeles football team and that's where we
hung out and we did stuff that people did in
South central LA. Yeah, we're banging well and not welling.
(05:54):
I learned to say I don't bang really early in
my you know what I'm saying, Oh, like not you
don't learn that in Manhattan, Kansas. You know, holds up
on you to start set tripping in Manhattan, Kansas. But
if you're USC football and you're walking home and you're
on the wrong street, somebody, as a.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
White guy from the Midwest, help me understand how quickly
you came to the conclusion that you needed to learn
to say I don't bang. And then at the same time,
is there a way you have to go about saying that?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, somebody says, where are you from? And you know,
you don't excuse me, excuse me saying you know, I
don't bang. You have to say that quick. You know.
We would have guys that, you know, really recognizable star
football players like Daylon McCutcheon, you know, they played like
ten years in the NFL in your state, Brady, and
(06:48):
they'd say, you know, take off your hat and be like, okay,
take it out, you know, like and those are certain
streets you know, and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's the area of the school is in though, correct,
But that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Way, it's not. I mean, it's kind of that way,
but it's not really that way anymore. When liner So,
the one thing I talk about a lot with players
that are my age is none of us could be
in college now because we were all criminals, you know,
to a certain degree. You know, some some worse than others.
But we were literally all breaking the law on a
daily basis in one way, and every NCAA rule in
(07:22):
one way or the other, right, And I mean we
were and they got bad guys, literal bad guys that
people would qualify into school back then because you could
and it wasn't right, but that's what you did. And
now it's just not that way. So we just talk
(07:43):
about how soft everybody is. Like it really kind of
fits into the Colorado story from yesterday, right. You read
the thing about the Applon story about Dion, and you know,
when you have that much turnover and you upset as
many people as Dion has in the short time that
he's been in Colorado, these kinds of stories and gotcha
pieces and stuff are inevitable, and everybody's going to have
(08:04):
their own take on it. But when I read that stuff,
you know what it read like to me, LeVar, it
sounded like that's when I play. You know, it sounds
like something that I would you know, hear about or
see in person at USC in the nineties, and it
feels like that's what's being cultivated over there.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Well, all I'll say, I'll go back to this. It was.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
It's always an honor and a pleasure to be a
Penn State and niting.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I kiss my all right, so I have to say
it the right way.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
This isn't true. We already went through this.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I kiss, I take, I kiss my hand, I kneel down,
and I touched the ground at the airport every single
time I touched down. And stay college because of how
thankful I am to stay college.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I mean, it's it's an amazing place.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Do you see yourself retiring there? LeVar?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
No, I never want to live there. Okay, I would
never want to live there. It's just just I I
could live there while it's warm out and I could
be there consistently, which I will be there for every
home game this year, but I wouldn't want to live
there all year round.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I could have a home there.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I'm contemplating getting a home there, Pete, but I don't
want to live there. Oh year, I can't do snow anymore. People,
I can't do snow ever again.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Brady, do you kiss your hand and touch the ground
whenever you land in South Bend? No, I don't private airport.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I actually I drive in probably uh more than anything else.
So that would also be weird because if you were
like a parking lot at like a hotel there, so
it feel a little different exactly exactly, it'd be like
there'd be like gum, you know, like six inches away
from where I'm like bending over to kiss the ground.
The uh I do want to point out too. For
(09:58):
the longest time, we had all envisioned and it's not
just myself. This is like listeners everyone else that when
LeVar would step foot off the plane most like a
United flight because they have the most connections into State College.
I believe that he was bending over, like as soon
as he walks off the little you know, jet bridge deal,
he's bending over to kiss the ground, like lips to
(10:20):
the ground.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
No, I don't put my lips on it.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I know, and we we we actually brought this out
of him at some point. It's like, no, I don't,
I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You know, it's your hand.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I kissed my head, but I'm very down. I am
kneel down and I'm sit down.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I've seen a lot of people do that arriving in Greece, Greek. Yeah,
they get.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Down and State College is my Greece. Can I ask
a question to yes?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
We we actually touched on a topic earlier today in
regards to the Olympics that I did.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Notice. That's your weekend, right, you just came back from France.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
No, it was, I was there earlier last week, like
middle of last.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's pretty significant, Like you know, the farthest I get
is like thousand oaks.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Yeah, but you've been to Greece. You go there.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I used to travel more. I've become quite a gooraphobic
and much less adventurous as in my middle age.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I can understand that, trust me, after spending what was
an entire day essentially in an airport or an airplane
or getting to an airport. Shocked the gall Yes, that's right,
old Chucky. A lot of stuff going on there, But
I digress. You didn't mention something in one of your
tweets about a puzzo getting in the way of the polos.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Dude, This is the Olympic of a puzzo? Is it
not Olympic? It totally is. It's all puzso all the time.
There is This is not a significant coincidence that the
French like Nike brand is called let Cock Sportif and
(11:53):
it's the freaking rooster let Cock sportif. Look at yes
c o u q let Cock sporteeth and it's all
poots all day. That the thing starts all day. The
thing starts with a bearded guy with boobs and a poots.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Right, what is the most ceremony that is the most
distracting event?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The dirty puzzo?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Well, volleyball, my god.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Then you had the dirty puzzo river, you have the
boxing puzzos. Did they have a puzzo? Do they not
have a puzzu? They were born with a puzzo. And
then you have them the puzzo that hits the pole.
It's like, what's next? What is next? You know you
got somebody with their sack out like that?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Is there?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
A pole voter? A hero?
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Now? Is it a national hero? Now?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well? I think well, you know it's it's different in Europe.
You know some people think a gigantic member is I'm
not fashionable, oh, which is why the David has get
reductions over there. So what you're saying, I'm not and
they do that. I'm just saying, you know, that's why
the David it looks the way it does. You know
what I mean? A large Poots was not always seen
(13:07):
as fashionable. It might have been seen as kind of
like freakish. Yes, yeah, like freakshis I take it correct
or just an excuse PERI? Yeah? You know, things change,
seasons change, you know, people change. So I I just
I'm enjoying the Olympics. I don't have like some weird
(13:30):
hot take about anything other than the fact that because
it's France, and it would probably it wasn't this way
in Greece, but but it could be because we're obviously
distracted by this. But because it's France, it's almost completely
and totally a sexual Olympic experience. Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
No, you're not wrong, And I actually love the point
you just had. I did want to throw this out
there just from my experience of over there for the event,
and I'd been to Paris out there a couple of
other times. Not doing that so much, LaVar, but I
had been there before, and this time it felt a
lot more touristy, and you'd expect that when you've got
a world event happening, even though it's a rather large city.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It's a big city, but it's not like La where
it can absorb a gigantic exactly like that, and what's
going on.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Everyone was very aware of the fact that so many
people are here for this event. I think France, did
you know, is doing its best to kind of showcase
the city. And you know, there was a stigma a
while back that the French were mean to tourists or
mean to people. I've never experienced that in my time
ever visiting there, but I would actually say even this time,
(14:41):
it was like over the top how welcoming and accommodating
people were there.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
But I do want to point this out.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I'm telling you, man, whatever's happening in our food over
here and what it does to us as compared to
over there, we need to figure that out because you
I mean, you have to walk everywhere too, which is
a kind of a part of the lifestyle and everything else.
But you just do not see the weight issues that
people tend to deal with here as opposed to there.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
It is just an entirely differing I've seen in that record.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I go to Greece and drink twenty beers a day
and eat like seven meals a day and lose fifteen pounds.
It's the worst feeling in the world because you come
back and you realize, like, all our food is poisoned
and we have a terrible lifestyle. But then at the
same time, it's like those people like if they go
(15:35):
to on vacation, they go to make on vacation for
five weeks. You know, if you go to somebody's house
for two days out there, they're insulted that you didn't
stay for two weeks. And they just have a different
concept of time and how to live life. And yes,
we've been completely and totally brainwashed, and all our food
is bad and it's a terrible thing. People are like, well,
(15:56):
why is chocolate so much better in Europe. It's like
because they have different law on how you can pasteurize milk.
Everything there is different, everything tastes different, everything grows differently.
America is a lonely croc of crap in that regard.
And I'm sorry Brady that you pointed that out. It
makes me sad.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Well, it makes me sad to see people out there
who were obviously battling some stuff, you know, battling through Europe.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
In state college football player, aspiring football player, athlete of
any sport, make sure you check out state college and
go there.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Why enjoy the anonymity, LeVar? You know, some people enjoy
the anonymity of a big city. But you know, I
used to always, you know, concentrate and dwell on that
at USC. And you know, and this was long before
Reggie Bush and Matt Leiner, and I would tell people, Look,
this isn't a place where you're much more anonymous, even
at school, because it's a huge school with everybody has
(16:56):
a bunch of interests and it's la not everybody's into sports.
And also with the fact that the city's huge. Now
then the Liner Bush thing happened and they started, you know,
USC football started hanging out in Hollywood. Yeah, right, And
that was that wasn't new. That had happened before with
Frank Gifford way back in the forties or whatever, and
(17:18):
it happened with OJ, no doubt about that. OJ got
that that contingent of people excited in the city when
he was at USC winning a Heisman. But it happened
again with Leonard and Bush. And then you started seeing
USC football players, you know, at the Mandrie on or
Ldue if you remember, that's where people you know, Paris
(17:43):
Hilton and all that, and Drew Barrymore in the unisex
bathroom making out with some androgynous person, all kinds of
stuff like that, And that was not the USC football
that I was familiar with. Was much more like watch
Malaifo shoot Dice off his lucky leg. Or one time
(18:03):
a girl, a crip girl got upset. No, no, just
we had a lucky lag. And then there was one
time that a crip girl got upset and she pulled
a gun out from her boobs and she had a
big giant boob tattoo.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
And I was like, god, dang, if she pulled a
strap from there, she must have some big giant hut place.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yes, correct, And I was like, welcome to college football.
What a time to be alive. All right, let's talk
about Oonie Pizza. Oonie kicked off the whole pro quality
pizza at home game in twenty twelve. You know about
that when it realized the first oven on Kickstarter and
released it tonight. Nie has eight ovens and today to
(18:46):
choose from gas field, multi fuel, pellet field or electric.
They include ultra portable models ovens great for entertaining, and
the electric Oonie volt which can be used indoors or outdoor.
Does he read this whole thing?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Oh all? Nie ovens can get up to at least
eight and fifty fahrenheit and cook pizzas in ninety seconds
or oh. The Uni app offers recipes, tips and handy

could also use it to monitor temperature via Bluetooth during

bacs gas field oven. Uoni is a certified b CORP,

the show on the iHeartRadio app. All right, we established
what LeVar did for his weekend and how much LeVar
love State College, and we'll consider purchasing a house there,
but not full time because of the snow. That's right,
all right, insurance on that everything. We establish how this
(21:50):
is the Olympic of the penis and it cannot be denied.
Anybody that wants to deny that, they can't. It's a
far cry from being in La in eighty four with
Mary lou Retten. But hey, I'm still enjoying the competition,
There's no doubt about that. And I loved watching the
one hundred meters last night.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Yet what did you think about that? That was incredible?
How close it was?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Right, It's the only real thing that I really is
a must watch sporting event for me as far as
the Olympics goes is the Olympic Men's hundred, and I
like the women's too, But I will I will find
out when the men's hundred is being run live, and
I will watch all the lead up. I'll watch them
(22:34):
all stand there and bounce around and be super nervous
and riveted by the race. And when I watched the race,
I don't know about you guys. I had no idea
who won, right I was running back. Yeah, I really
didn't think he won. I thought it was the Jamaican
what Thompson.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
I believed this last time it.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Looked like it.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Well it's not the feat, it's the classical. You get
that clave over and yeah it was a photo finish,
no doubt about it. And it's a It's a great race.
Those athletes are just a marvel to me.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I will say this.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I was never a track athlete, so I've only been
told this, But I assume you guys have run tracks,
or you would both have.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
A school record at Peninsula High and one hundred and
two hundred.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
There you go, So tell me this much.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I heard a lot of talk from Noah Laws before
the Olympics, that he was gonna break you Saint Bolt's record,
which I believe the world records are like nine point
five six three something something like that, and the Olympic
records like nine point six something. They didn't come anywhere
close to that. I mean, a tenth of a second
is like an eternity in sprints.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Is that about right?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, it's like the difference between a four to four
and a four five forty actually exactly that. Uh uh
you saying Bolt, That's what I was gonna say. Like,
you watch those guys run and how close it was,
and it makes you just appreciate so much more what
he was and who he was, right, because he would
(24:04):
beat beat people by two three meters and be waving
his fists and break the world record, right, and he
was six ' five.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
That's the crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, I did. There's no explanation for how he got
all that gathered and going how he did, Like you
could say, okay, yeah, two hundred, I get it, four
hundred for sure, because that's what they had him running
before he changed and became the world's greatest sprinter. How
he got all that moving to do what he did
(24:34):
and be the greatest sprinter that probably will see in
our lifetimes is uh, absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
You had to get him out of the blocks because somebody.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
That long, right, how did he do it?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, you gotta get him out of blocks?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Do you look at do you look at other Olympic
athletes like the Kitty Lideki fifteen hundred meters swim, that
was one that stood out in regards.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
To Yeah, those people are crazy. I'm and I would
always marvel at the swimmers at USC and we had
many Olympians, you know, Lenny Krazelberg was one. You know,
we had a lot of metal people. And then of
course you know they'd go throw those swimmer parties where
everybody's naked and in their medals and the girls have
such big shoulders.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It's a real roger.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah's that is that a kite? No turn around, it's
a girl.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And you know, the the football players will go to
those swimmer parties and be like, you know, it's okay
that you got big shoulders girl. You know they would
clean up. You know what I'm saying was that the line, yes.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Your shoulders is big.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Yeah, it's like riding to Harley put it on a
t shirt.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It's okay, your shoulders is big, except you for who
you are. I was. I'm also I love watching the
high jump the women you know, uh they are you know,
they all have the same body type and the way
they move is I also I also noticed if you're
not tall, you had no shot at that.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
But you have to be a certain hype to have
any chance of clearing that thing.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You don't just walk through the door as like a
sawd off. Kevin Hart's not like, hey, I'm on, but
which goes.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
To show you like, I don't know what the betting
odds are. I haven't looked at that. I assume you
can bet somewhere in the Olympics. There are certain sports
you can look at and lay a bet and feel
pretty confident about getting your money back.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah. I think that's yeah. Yeah, But a lot of
these I just don't even you know, you forget that
they exist, you know, and you wonder what these people
do all year. Like team handball, It's like, how do
you make a living as a team. I'm on the
Romanian team handball team. It's like, okay, what's your life like? Anyway,
I do want to establish because this is a whole
(26:45):
week that we're going to be together, guys, and Brady
has not told me about his weekend.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Brady, thank you, I hear you. Petros, we we actually
lead to lapse.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Yeah, well, Lee, Lee always has some events.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I just thought of impouring the litter and the sink
like kingpan at the end.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
He trusts me, he's not doing that. He's never wasting
any alcohol.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
We must have.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
It's actually my oldest daughter's birthday today. She turns eight,
and Slowan turns eight. So we had a little party
with some of our family back up in Ohio, and
we've we've obviously had a little get together down in
South Florida now where we're currently at. So we've been
we've been celebrating her and celebrating her eighth birthday and
with a couple of different little parties four with some
(27:31):
of her friends and some of our family.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
So it's been mostly family time.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I was just trying to adjust the time zones after
getting back from Paris and then become a middle end
of last week and getting back adjusted to everything on
the Eastern standard time.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
All right, so you had two birthday parties for your
eight year old?
Speaker 4 (27:49):
We did, we did?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
We did have an year old who got up at
four and said, aren't you getting up at four today?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
That's pretty cool though, Yeah, I don't have a kid
that will wake up that early with cool.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Uh, all right, before we move. Nobody's cool here, LeVar.
That's why I live in the basement before we lizard
lived there. How was your yes lizard doing? Man, she's
doing good.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I get along quite well with the lizard. Is it
growing she she's doing Yeah, she's doing all right. You know,
she's been eating well the last few days, eating her
worms okay, and her cucumbers because you have to.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Take her in not too long?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
No, no, no, never, no no no.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I thought she was suffering from some type of illness
or something.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
No, I don't. You must have me confused with some
other lizard owner on the radio, or she wasn't eating
or something. She wasn't eating. I was concerned about the eating,
but it just turned out to be a shedding thing.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Is there a chance, LeVar, you know anyone else who's
on the radio that also owns the lizard?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Not not readily at the top of my mind. No.
But I don't have very many friends, Q, so I
don't really talk to too.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Unless you're at state college.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
That's where you are.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I mean, they're all friends, Like everyone knows your name
of Shears, right, They are all my friends in state college.
And if you too, are a football player out there
that wants to be recognized by your first name, you
should How cool is it, Apete that there's a kid
we just had commit from Damatha and he's a LeVar,
(29:19):
So there's going to be a LeVar planned receiver.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
We talked about receiver earlier on the show. He's a
twenty six er, but he's a super problem on the field.
He's amazing.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
What's a twenty sixer?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
He's coming in in twenty six?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Oh okay, yeah, he's twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, I hope he doesn't, you know, learn that there's
only really one LeVar at State College and switches verbal.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
See, but that's not true. There's going to be two
on the team at the same exact time.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I don't believe anything about recruiting until he puts on
a UNI.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But congratulations to the other LeVar. Damn, you've got a
lot to live up to. Speaking of that, what happened
with Sharon Moore is he in trouble. We just talked
to him at the seminar, Brady, didn't you interview him
or did Joel?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I think Joel actually interviewed him. I didn't have an
opportunity to sit down with him. I sat down with
Donovan Edwards, their star running back, but you know, we
didn't talk about this subject as obviously too speculative to
know how it's going to play out. What's interesting about
this is these are NCAAA violations that took place in
(30:25):
regards to the NCAAA trying to investigate the Connor Stallions controversy,
and Sharon Moore has received a level two violation, which
is not as punitive as Level one, which staff members
like Jim Harbaugh, for example, is no longer there, and
some of the others did receive so I guess that's
(30:46):
only an issue if they plan to come back to college,
even though there's a chance that Sharon Moore from the
level two violations may have to serve somewhat of a
suspension at some point.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
So kind of interesting. I guess my initial thoughts.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
On this, and it hasn't changed from how I felt
last year with all this going on, is this was
more widespread than just Michigan. There were a lot of
other schools doing something similar and maybe in a different manner,
but either a didn't get caught.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Or reported, or b were doing it in a different way.
But the funny thing.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Is now these are rarely isolated. Correct.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
I was just just Michigan.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
And by the way, does that change the fact that
when all this happened in the middle of their season
and their head coach was suspended. I mean I was
there in Happy Valley, sorry, LeVar, when there too. You know,
Sharon Moore led this team with barely throwing the football
in the second half to a win in pennsylate.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That's the thing that stands out to me. And I
don't know if you feel this way, LeVar. I mean,
you guys are much more big ten. Well I'm a
big ten guy now too. Come on, yeah you are.
But sure, let's go. But the thing about Michigan, you
look at the recruiting numbers over the years, You look
at that team, you see what Harbaugh did, and we've
paid close attention to it year in and year out,
(32:07):
only to watch them climb the mountain last year. That
is a modern class. Whether the Connor Stallions knew that
somebody was going to run a wi stick. I don't know.
I mean that that was a master class in how
to build and develop a football team, especially up front
in the modern era, in the NIL and the transfer portal.
(32:30):
It proved that you could still build a dominant football
team without the number one recruits in the country, just
through culture. And that's why the Stallion story kind of
bothers me because it kind of eclipses what they did.
They didn't cheat in that way.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You don't shoot Dale versus Riddale, and that what we
call it when all else fails, put your Ryddale on
his Riddale and.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Win two screws.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
No, I mean, I agree with you on that one.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
They eight people in the fourth quarter, that's what they were.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
You don't need to steal no signs to be able
to run, run over and run through a defense. That's
for certain.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And that's how they beat people.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
That is how they were winning. That's how they won
the national title.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I don't know, But here's my thing. Why isn't it enough?
Why isn't you you You did suspend Horrball.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
They're like Harrball is still under investigation and and he's
still liable to penalties as well, I guess as it
applies to being a college coach, even though he's left.
I mean, weren't the suspensions enough, Like what is what
is the agenda where now where the head coach was suspended,
(33:41):
he was suspended.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Technically that came as a result of the Big Ten.
So that was more at the Big Ten pushing to
to have the suspension. Uh, they always knew there could
be potential future violations or sanctions that were UH put
on Michigan after the season once the investigation had.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Then the school then the school take part and disciplining.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
That was for a separate violation over COVID and they
self imposed punishment, which is why harbors the first three games?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Why am I self imposed for all of it? And
get it out of the way, like now it's going
into a hole.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Because and then they said at the time that doesn't
actually matter the NCAAA, they were still going to put
down their punished game.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And what it sounds like to me, like the way
you describe it, Brady, and it just sounds like it's
going to grind its way through all this bureaucracy and
all this system that you're explaining it's going to grind
its way through that they don't really want to punish
Michigan anymore. And if Sharon Moore is out for a
game or two, that's that's all it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
And then they're going to try to get everybody.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
To forget about it, ye, which is probably I don't
think they want to open up Pandora's box with the subject.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
If they do, they're going to find more more schools.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Doesn't now find it? Now find more stuff with Michigan. Yeah,
did I forget to do the update?
Speaker 4 (35:03):
No? Yes she did? Yeah, right dude.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Though, here's Eddy Garcy. I'm sorry, Eddie. No worries, no
worries at all. We will update you on what's going

Speaker 6 (39:38):
Brady and like Hall monitors, Mike.

like Lee has outside of his apartment.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well, I mean we're talking about a different level of
society too, right, I mean Lee to Lapse radio producer
in l A in l A, Brady.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
Quail, no, hold on, hold on, hold on in La.
Speaker 5 (40:03):

crap on the sidewalks?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Yes, yes, Okay, listen. You don't know what it's like, Brady.
Speaker 6 (40:12):
I don't I live people poop of the streets.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I lived in Koreatown in nineteen ninety eight and we'd
have six am workouts at USC to run and I
remember uh going out of my apartment and just seeing
not one two Korean hookers just sitting there smoking crack
on the sidewalk, and I was like, damn, ain't that America.
(40:36):
That's you know, that's uh.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
Nap song.

gets really ornery it shows. Did you guys know that.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
I'm sure he does.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
That was your image though when you saw people smoking.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yes, yes it was. I didn't. I lived rather close
to the biggest open air drug market in the world
when I lived over there, MacArthur Park, so you would
get that kind of thing all the time. But it's funny.
You get like a nice big, like an aerial shot
of MacArthur Park a lot of the time when they're
you know, like the MacArthur Park and the laquors are
up five and there's not going half and and they
(41:21):
don't show like an up close because it's literally like
those people that are laying down standing up. It's it's
really something end la Clinic of demu Hair. Am I
supposed to do anything at the very end of the
show or do I just get yelled at the whole
the way off? Gotcha?
