This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Look at him. One of the best. One of my favorites and one of the best to ever do it. He's got that pen in his hand. He's probably doing a card for next season. He's probably preparing for game one of next season. It's not a golf card, is it? What's that pen for, Al Michaels?
I'm writing checks. We had the refrigerator guy with you yesterday, the landscaper last week.
Yeah, so...
Not a Zelle guy? I'm just trying to make sure I'm not overdrawing.
Simple as that. Just writing checks. So you're not doing it the way... So do you object the way I do? I just got into a fight with a valet because they wouldn't take my cash. You like doing it cash and checks. No Zelle, no Venmo. Just take my hard-earned American cash.
I am old school. Now, if you want to take a Bitcoin... They've tried to explain to me what this Bitcoin thing is, what the virtual currency is. Sorry, folks. Don't understand one iota of that.
Al, it's money, but on the computer.
It's money, but on the computer. You know what? You have to mine it. I'm still living in the green stamp world. So, you know, you guys have no idea what that is.
I do. I do. No, I know what you mean. But I, too, am old.
Mothers collect. If you collected like 48 million green stamps, you got like a, you know, like a pillow or something like that. It was crazy.
Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show, because Tony just went, what? Put it on the poll. Do you know what it means to collect 4,600 or 46,000 green stamps and get a pillow? Al Michaels has obviously the most miraculous and memorable sports call of all time, but he's been doing football for a long time. And it resonated with me, Al, when you said, being in Chicago, look, I've been here 30 times, but I've never felt this place feel like this. The moments this season that you got, Thursday night football has reinvented itself. It used to be terrible games. No longer. What are the signature moments for you this year where you felt the strongest and it reminded you about all the things you love about sports?
Well, certainly that night in Chicago, which was a tremendous game. And, you know, it looked like the Packers were going to run away. I think it was 21-3 at the half, 21-6 going into the fourth quarter. And that was the night when sound has feel. And having been to Soldier Field, I think that was my 31st Bears game since starting back in the mid-80s. And you could feel it shaking. Feel the building shaking. So that would be, you know, one thing, obviously, that we wrapped up Thursday night football with on a Saturday night.
How does cryptocurrency relate to sports today?
But also, I think, you know, the game of the year, and it seems to be a movable feast now, was the Rams-Seattle game back in, I think, week 16 in Seattle, the one where the Rams looked like they hadn't won. Shahid runs back the putt. Makes it a one-score game. They wind up winning it after the Rams had scored an overtime, a touchdown. Back come the Seahawks, get the two-point conversion. And I think people at that point thought that was the game of the year. We've had a couple of more games of the year since then as well.
Are the Seahawks better than the Rams?
I think they are. I think the difference between those two teams right now might be special teams, and that's been the bugaboo for the Rams all season long. Had to fire their special teams coordinator. Finally found the right kicker who came in. He did well, but the punt return situation in Seattle, really basically when you think about it, I mean, a lot of plays... come together to cost you a game. But I think none was bigger than muffing that pun, having Seattle recover and score a touchdown on the next play. So, you know, I think both teams are so evenly matched. They played three tremendous games this season. But I think I give Seattle a slight advantage.
Have you heard or seen anything about the Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame on the first ballot that you have personally found stimulating, interesting? And what are your opinions there?
Well, I think what's interesting, Dan, is that and I go back to the Baseball Hall of Fame in maybe the 70s.
