As a lifelong Capital Region sports fan who has just so happened to be in radio for most of my professional life the chance to “join the Team” pun intended was the kind of offer I’ve been dreaming of. Growing up a Yankees, Knicks and Raiders fan(a punishment I share with my beautiful daughter Ella) I’ve felt the pain and success that comes with diehard fandom. Luckily for me my friends that love the Giants have adopted me so I have a reason to watch football after the Raiders have been eliminated EARLY every season for the last 10 plus years. I’m excited to talk sports and enjoy multiple happy hours with all the sports fans of the Cap Region…even the Red Sox fans.

New York Sports Great Compares His Game To JG III [AUDIO]
Earlier this week we on Levack and Goz, Niagara head coach basketball Greg Paulus joined the show. Capital Region sports fans may be more familiar with Coach Paulus' college basketball playing career. Paulus was a four year player for the Duke Blue Devils. After completing his basketball career, Paulus returned to his home town of Syracuse to play one year of college football with the Syracuse Orange. Coach Paulus' head coaching career started last week when he was named the interim coach for Niagara following the dismissal of Patrick Beilein. What are some of the challenges Coach Paulus and his program has faced in 2020? What stands out when scouting this year's UAlbany team?
Jets Losing BIG To The Rams Is A Lock In Week 15
BACK TO BACK 3 - 0 WEEKS! 6 - 0 in the last two weeks raising my TERRIBLE season record to a much better yet still embarrassing 20 - 21 - 1. This is the time of year when bad teams have proved just how bad they are and good teams are looking to lock up the playoffs and make statements. I'm not letting this heater end just yet. Let's go make some money!
Spongebob And Slime Added To NFL Wild Card Round [VIDEO]
I love that the NFL has reached out to the one "man" that can truly put the "wild" in Wild Card weekend, Spongebob Squarepants. When I first heard this was happening I did the typical "I hate change" rant about how this is silly and makes a joke of the NFL but then I realized it's brilliant and I want to see it for two reasons. First, you don't have to watch this version of the broadcast if you don't want to, and second THE HALF TIME SHOW!!!
NYSPHAA Cancels All High School Winter Sports Championships UPDATE
With the numbers of COVID-19 cases continuing to climb in New York State it comes as no surprise that the New York State Public High School Athletic Association is forced to place new restrictions on Winter sports. NYSPHAA has canceled all winter championships and postponed high-risk sports until authorization is granted by State officials.
Did Daniel Jones 80 Yard Run Perfectly Sum Up His Career So Far? [VIDEO]
The New York Giants caused a lot of raised eyebrows when they selected the Duke QB, Daniel Jones 6th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. Since then there have been moments where Jones has validated the Giants taking him so early but also moments that give the doubters all the ammo they need to keep second-guessing Big Blue. Thursday night Jones showed off his athleticism with an 80 yard run against the Philadelphia Eagles and then showed off his issues by falling flat on his face. There may have never been a play that summed up a young players career better than this one.
Football Is Back And So Is Brandon Lang [NSFW]
For years now one of the biggest, best, and most opinionated sports handicappers in the world, Brandon Lang has called in and shared picks and stories. It's honestly hard for me to say which I enjoy more. The beauty of Lang is the man speaks his mind and he speaks freely. You may not always like what he has to say but you always know exactly where he's coming from. I say all of this because we had planned on having Brandon on the show today before the Yankees vs Orioles game last night was rained out causing a doubleheader today. Brandon is a man of his word and still came on the show and he was ready to go!
COVID-19 Can’t Stop The Bills Mafia!
There may not be a fanbase able to rival the "Bills Mafia" when it comes to being known for tailgating. Sure the New York Giants have great fans and the New York Jets fans are loyal to a fault but the Buffalo Bills fans are just different. The Bills Mafia is known for going extra crazy and even throwing themselves threw tables. Now that we know there won't be fans allowed at least the first two games for the Bills you'd think the high flying table smashing Red, White, and Blue pregame party would be canceled BUT you'd be wrong.
Barry Melrose Answers If The Islanders Can Win It All?
The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been better than anyone could have expected so far. In a world where sports fans have become very familiar with being disappointed, it's awesome to see the two bubble system of the NHL not only work but exceed expectations. ESPN NHL Insider and Glens Falls resident Barry Melrose joins Levack and Goz to discuss how great this playoff setup has been, how far the New York Islanders can go, who's the team to watch and what the heck happened to the New York Rangers?
Big Ten And PAC 12 Will Suspend Fall Sports
ESPN's Mark Schlabach is reporting that the Big Ten has decided to suspend Fall sports and will potential play in the Spring.
Will Clint Frazier Be In The Bronx To Stay This Time?
Ever since the New York Yankees traded for Clint Frazier in 2016 fans have been waiting for the young outfielder to make his way to an everyday role in the majors. Frazier has speed both with his legs and his bat and is flashy. The problem has always been that there's an overabundance of talent in the outfield for the Bronx Bombers and when given opportunities Frazier hasn't played up to the high level that's expected consistently. Well outfielder/DH Giancarlo Stanton is headed to the Injured List after straining his hamstring and Clint Frazier is going to get another chance. Will he make it so the Yankees are forced to keep him with the big league club this time?
