15 Sep 2025
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Man, football's been amazing. The NFL's been incredible, and we get a doubleheader tonight. Two really good games. You got Tampa Bay at Houston. You got the Chargers at the Raiders. These tickets got to be hot, got to be moving, got to be tough to get in those buildings. Well, take the guesswork out of buying NFL tickets.

Gonna read just a few quotes here from Canelo and Crawford and then I'll leave it alone.
Chapter 3: How do the hosts discuss the significance of NFL ticket sales?
Just a couple of quotes to give you the historical perspective on some of the stuff that happened this weekend that wasn't just football. Canelo says, quote, I tried my best tonight and I could not figure out the style. I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather, end quote. And then this from Crawford, I'm the face of boxing now.
I'm the best pound for pound fighter in the world like I've always been. What are you laughing about?
I mean, just does he deserve that? He does. Yes, he does.
Yes. I mean, he's undefeated. He made a great fighter look amateur. Crawford's older than Canelo. And he made Canelo look like he didn't know what he was doing.
And he can walk a supermarket fairly anonymously. That is correct.
That is a indictment of the sport.
Well, I don't know if he can be the face of the sport if your face can go out in public and not be bothered. Yes, good point. He probably gets recognized by one person. Like, hey, Terrence. Do you think Manu can go to Navarro and not be recognized? You'd be an idiot if you thought so.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Face of boxing, Jake Paul or Terrence?
What a ridiculous question.

Chapter 4: How does Greg Cote plan to change his show?
He was teasing it on Fox. He was like, before we let you go, you got a big announcement tomorrow. He's like, it's something that I've been working on for several years. I'm very excited to check out this Raiders game. I will be announcing something big. Let's all guess. I don't think he's coming back.
Did you guys know that he has a 10-part series on Apple, Tom Brady does? And the reason I ask the question is because Tom Brady won more than Michael Jordan and can't and won't be remembered the way Michael Jordan was. And I think most people don't even know that Tom Brady has sat down and done a 10-part series with Apple, not unlike Michael Jordan's 10-part series.
I don't understand why he's not. I've already started correcting things by saying, I used to say, well, that person's a Michael Jordan, a blank. Now I say that person's a Tom Brady, a blank.
How has that not happened? And why has that not happened? Because Mike seems to be out in front of things that will not catch on there.
He's got more things going on for him. Listen, he was drafted famously late round draft pick. He's handsome and he's white. I don't know how this hasn't happened yet. He's boring. Like Michael Jordan? He's less boring than Michael Jordan. But he talked in a way that created a narrative. He says, let's go! Yeah, he's just a, you said it, he's just like a bland white guy. And he won a lot.
Excuse me, he talks way more than Michael Jordan. If your argument is that he is publicly boring, Michael Jordan is the Tom Brady of being publicly boring. I don't mean that, I meant in the game. Like the way that Michael Jordan had a lore built up around him in terms of the trash talk that he dished out to other competitors in one-on-one, in the Olympics, all these things. Are you insane?
What did we have from Brady until he was with the Buccaneers? Tom Brady would talk so much shit on the field. But then would shy away from it. What? Would shy away from it? What? We disagree. I feel like I'm kind of with Jeremy. Maybe Brady's been interesting the last couple years. During his career, he was not. He was boring. He's not interesting now. He's not interesting on the air.
He talks more now than he did. Don't try to take the air out of his announcement. But Michael Jordan doesn't. He's mythical because you don't really get him anywhere. So you could just make Michael Jordan whatever you want Michael Jordan to be because you can't see Michael Jordan be anything else. It's the shoe. Yeah, I mean big thing too. It's the logo. It's the Nike. Yeah
Hey, Jeremy, happy holidays. Happy Chinooka. I want to toast you. Actually, I don't. I will toast with you. Okay. We're co-workers. Friends, you could say. No, we cannot say that, but we both enjoy an ice-cold Miller Lite. That's true. Especially around the holidays. You know, it's the 50th anniversary of Miller Lite. It's really amazing. Every time we say that, I can't believe it.

When we're watching sports these days and someone is becoming better than everyone else, the way that you're watching Malik Neighbors be at wide receiver with limitations at quarterback level, That game yesterday between the Cowboys and Giants was magical. It's not what I was expecting in any way.
Brian Dayball went late in the game, platooning quarterbacks on what was the best statistical game of Russell Wilson's life, at least in part because he has neighbors. Navers was double covered on one play. I don't know how they scored that touchdown. It was his second least impressive touchdown of the day because of the catch that he made earlier.
How is it that the Giants have only one legitimate weapon and he's got more catches through 20 games than just about anyone who's played the position?

Chapter 6: What unique event is Greg Cody promoting?
How is someone so good at wide receiver that he plays on a bad offensive team and we're still all looking at him and saying, oh yeah, that guy might be the best receiver in the entire sport. Totally unguardable, even though his offense always stinks.
Like his quarterback play, he's not one of the best receivers any of us have ever seen has gotten bad quarterback play the entire of his career and through 20 games has more catches than just about anyone's ever had through 20 games.
Russell Wilson has looked washed for so long that everybody's been clamoring for Jackson Dart. But yesterday, after the 48-yard touchdown to Malik Neighbors, which was his third deep passing touchdown of the game, this is per NextGenStats, he completed seven of nine deep passes in the game for 264 yards. That's the most deep passing yards in a game that they've ever tracked.
And it's in large part because Malik Neighbors is unguardable. Right. Like, that doesn't mean that Russell Wilson, you know, I mean, it sounds weird to say, but it doesn't necessarily mean Russell Wilson had a good game yesterday. No, that's my point. He can still throw the ball deep. Bad mistake in overtime. Right.
He tried it one too many times, and it led to the turnover that led to the game-winning kick. But he's throwing it deep to a guy who is going to win those 50-50 battles. Russell Wilson kind of stinks, but he can still throw the ball deep, and he's got a really good receiver. Not since Josh Gordon, I think.
Do we all concede this is a dominant force at wide receiver with a quarterback that's closer to ass than elite? I also think it's because Malik Neighbors is disproportionately their big star in terms of targets. They don't have a great running back. Their second receiver's not great. He's a one-man show. Their second receiver had 140 yards receiving yesterday. Well, okay, that's fair.
He was at the Dolphin game, and it was the first time that he's had to worry about Cowboys-Giants occupying that TV. And he's got retirement on his mind, too. There's a lot going on. Yeah, that's true. But would you agree that Malik Neighbors is by far their number one target? Yeah, easy. That dude strolled in the NFL, and he was already a top 10 gifted wide receiver.
But it's still crazy. No matter the amount of targets, this is an unusual thing you're witnessing, and it's something that's special even compared to people who are special. I can target...
anybody in that Chiefs game with Patrick Mahomes and I wouldn't have gotten shit like the idea that this guy with those limits on offense is putting up production numbers in his first 20 games that are completely unheard of and specifically what I saw from him yesterday where you're not supposed to be able to complete the deep ball to somebody who the defense is double covering him because they keep getting beat on the deep ball and he still completes it
