(03:11):
the husband or wifey that stopped going to the gym.
I'll explain. I'll explain, Dan Campbell, what did you do?
We'll talk about the Lions a little bit and oh
almost a rip down the oh fair ball extra basis

he hates cheaters, so I'm down for a taco party.
He must have loved that show in the two thousands Cheaters. Yeah,
but we'll talk about what did you do? Dan Campbell?
Why is lebron like a lazy husband or wife? Is
I'll meet you in the parking lot the equivalent of
(04:19):
ohmute the flagpole with three o'clock. There was a little
tussle with Jesse Winker and a damis on the Brewers.
So lots of fun, lots of excitement here on covinon
Rich today. We've got two games going on in the
background here. And where do you want to start? Do
you want to start with Tom Brady's biceps. I want
to talk about sir, flex a lot now. Tom Brady
(04:43):
is going viral. I can't say in the news. It's
not big news, right, we just had debates, yesterday, had
a major hurricane. Tom Brady's in the news news might
not be accurate, just kind of viral. Right. He's there posing,
or one could say, flexing his boat, and he's just
straight up flexing. That's what they're saying. There's a picture
(05:06):
of Tom Brady. He's there in front of his boat.
He's got his guns out, just the biceps out, and
people are making fun of him, saying, look at him
trying to casually pretend like he's not flexing right now.
And because he does look like he's pomped in that moment,
you know, it brings up a really hard hitting question.
I guess that before we get into the NFL, I
thought the boat was a sweet flex enough before we
(05:28):
get into lebron before we get into the hard hitting
sports of the day. It's really a simple question. He's
in front of his car in front, Rich told me,
in front of his boat. I'm like, well, that's a
flex in it, stuck boat. It's part car, part boat.
Oh gotcha. No, it's a truck. It's a you know
what it is, though I only see I did see
(05:48):
the zoomed in version of that shot, zoomed out. He's
just standing there in front of a pickup truck and
he's holding it. Maybe it's a really heavy water bottle. Yeah,
that's probably Maybe that's what it is. Sorry, because the
headline that I looked at quickly said, Tom Brady shows
off his bo boat the best biceps of all time.
(06:08):
You're the idiot. We wrote that headline, Rob Parker, boo
boat shows all this bo boat pass biceps of both time.
So my point is he's the load the luckiest of
all time. So I give his biceps five booms. Boom boom,
boom boom stop at Costco boy.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
My question first is going in or coming out? Because
if he's going in, then it's impressive. If he's coming out,
he's got a pump. That's it the gym.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
But let me ask you this, this, this really is
a real silly yet legitimate question. If you're especially on
vacation at the beach wearing a tank top summertime, and
someone your aunt or uncle to barbecue your wife with
your kids, like, all right, we're taking a picture, say cheese.
(06:56):
Are you doing a little belly sucking? Oh? And a
and a bicep, little little flex or? Is that the
latest thing everybody's doing? A sucking in? Is that one
of those things that one does automatic? Yeah? Is automatic?
You know, if there's an older person trying to take
the picture, you find yourself sucking in and not breathing
for like thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
The problem is sucking in is it has to go
somewhere else. And usually when I suck in, it goes
all the way to my chest. Yes, it just makes
my man the biggest strong man. Yeah, yeah, that's so
funny to go somewhere.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So the spot on there, second part, sucking in, that's
that's a given, right, you're sucking in the gut, But flexing,
I don't know, that's that's not automatic. Doing a quick
pump before you hit the beach, quick pump before you
hit the bedroom. Maybe quick pump. So you're telling the
world a thought Sports Radio Nation that you have done
bathroom push ups before you've been with a woman. Yeah,
(07:50):
I mean I think everybody has right. It's like getting ready.
So that is in I broke, Yeah, and I bro
damn Bayer. I believe he does a set of push
ups before every update. Too impressed and Squat's Look at
those clues he was recording hard hitting. He actually the
hand signal nice glues. I thought he gave us the indicator.
I thought he hit the nose to the ear. I
(08:11):
thought that. I thought that he had something to say.
He's doing squat thrust of my bed, got it. He's
too busy for this. Based on this Tom Brady thing again, look,
Tom Brady does anything that goes toward a viral, people
are gonna question or wonder what he's up to. It
does look like he's flexing a little bit in this photo,
but it does pose the question of do you ever
(08:31):
flex when posing? Because I remember there was a picture
Rich was so proud of recently proud of. Yeah, he
was holding his daughter off. You know what I'm talking about.
Spot right where Rich was like he's had a barbecue,
but he's holding his daughter and he made sure like
his arm was like samn, there's no way you would
have not posted that photo if you didn't have a
nice little flex going.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
You shifted all the weight of your daughter to that
one arm just to really get the flext.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Before the picture. I been tressed my daughter ten times.
Those are dad muscles. You do it for the gram.
I get it. I'm not calling you out. I'm saying
it's not that odd, and I don't think Tom Brady
was doing it. He's Tom Brady. Sounds ridiculous, But in
a world of social media where everyone's a critic, everyone's
a hater, everyone's a troll. If you take an unflattering photo,
(09:19):
h all you're doing is begging the world of social
media to mock you, make fun of you. Even better,
when it's someone else tagging you, it's like, thanks for
tagging me in the worst photo ever. I know this
sounds like children's antics, but it's not, because then you
get buried from your friends and everybody else.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
By the way, says the guy who chose the photo
of his family where he looked the best at Christmas
and his daughter looked horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That was a great this is classic story. Yeah, Danny
J Danny G. We're talking. I believe it was the
year twenty twelve. Sounds about right. His daughter might have
been like three. Cavino goes to the grove here in
La Waits probably an hour line get the Santa Claus
photo with like the best Santa in town.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It's like the iconic Santa that everyone, Yeah, everyone has
to get their photo.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
He passed away recently, was like this famous La Santa,
one of Santa's helper's kids. And Cavino gets all the
proofs back because you know, nowadays when you get your
picture take with Santo or the Easter Bunny, they it's
all digital. They're like, hey, what's your email? Will send
you the link. Coveno wanted to choose the picture where
he looked better and his daughter's like eyes were half closed,
(10:30):
Like Cavino, it's not about you, He goes, yeah, but
the one where she looks the best. I don't look great.
So just to Shaw, where can affect her more or
me in that moment? Yeah? Well, anyway, Tom Brady, we
just thought that was funny because I know I don't
know about your group of buddies. But if I see
one of my buddies flexing in a photo, you know
(10:51):
our group chat's gonna be making fun of that.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Strategically, I do Jim flex photos the greatest photo I know.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, but after you know, after workout you can put
you put it work. Everybody does it unless you're hands
in front. You put in work.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's your reward to show that you put a hard
put hard work in at the gym.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You want to show everybody foot average photo. I'm not
for random booty stopping, no, but in a regular photo,
like a group photo, like if we all went out
to dinner, like when we went to Danny G's son's
birthday party. I wasn't just standing there like casually flexing
my arm so it shows off. That's lame. I'll backspot
you guys.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
If you're gonna flex like flex on purpose, right, yes,
to do it like you're pretending not to for the photo.
That's that's weeks. That is weak, and that's what they're
claiming Brady did in this moment. Guy just came from
the gym. Hey Tom, Hey Tom, how's your workout? Snap?
Snap steps down over there? Hey TMZ have a great
(11:52):
as he flexed, and hey, you know what the truth is,
he's been bragging a lot about how he's more ripped
or just as good as shape as he's ever been.
Tom Brady's still in good shape, man, So give him problem.
It has to be as a fitness brand. Yeah, well
it's working. He looks good man, heb twelve, he's ripped,
But I don't think, for the record, I don't think
he's doing what he's being accused of in this photo.
(12:13):
There's two layers to the question, and then we'll take
your feedback. Move on, talk a little Lebron, talk a
little NFL, and some wildcard baseball. The two part question,
when someone takes a photo, especially if you're at the beach,
the lake somewhere, if your shirt's off, there's no shame.
Is it fair to say every guy sucking in his
belly and doing a little bit of a little flex right,
(12:36):
And it's equally fair. Part too, the question is if
you catch your buddy doing it full rain to make
fun of him, Yes, okay, so was wee or grand
ol of it? You do it, but you agree that
if it's obvious your buddies can bust your chops. Yeah, yeah, okay, cool,
I won the same pitch. All right, there you go,
Tom Brady flex in front of the trunk. It's gone viral.
We broke it down. You said something earlier that I've
(12:58):
admitted to before, but I don't know if I've ever
heard you talk about it. Uh oh, maybe it was
meant for off the air. Rich in my in my
twenties when I was a single guy twenties, early thirties,
you know, back back in the day, back when you
had that full hairline. I remember to get the hell
with his hair is better than ever I I will
admit I'm mad enough to admit I have dipped into
(13:21):
the bathroom and did a quick ten push ups before
a new woman saw me shirtless for the first time.
Oh yeah, I thought every honest, honestly guy back in
my heyday, let's say, back in the day, which was
a Wednesday, I thought that was industry standard. I really did.
Apparently it's just for vain jerks. I go, yeah, because
when we brought that up, Rich and I justified a
(13:42):
lot of stupid behavior because I'm like, yeah, I do that,
Oh you do that too, everybody must do that. It
gets a blood flowing in your arm. Oh see, Sam,
I was saying, if you were to be intimate with
a woman for the first time and you're like, I'm
gonna use the bathroom, is it crazy to think that
you would do ten quick push ups? You said for
the first time, did you mean for the first time
in his life? The time I have done that before?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I have.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
I've worn like a tight shirt on a date and
I've done like fifty push ups before going out, and
then like it's still the well, I don't even shirt.
It's definitely with all the pineapples on it. It was from
like a structure Men's Express, stretchy pineapples on it. Yeah,
upside down pineapples. I was saying, put it out, but no,
(14:28):
it really does help and and your confidence as well.
There's also the bouncer pose, as I call it. I'm
doing it right now, which is like if you want
to try to look buff, but you don't lift you
they kind of push your biceps out with your hands underneath,
like yeah, and you kind of push it out and
you you look you don't.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Have a gut it all, and then your shoulders look huge.
That's it. Yeah, you pose. So Tom Brady flexing or not,
and you decide you can make fun of us all
you want at Covin and Rich. But every woman on
planet Earth has a million tricks that they do. Made
angles and pose angles, poses make up everything on guard. Yeah,
all we're talking about is a dude flexing in a photo. Relax.
(15:06):
Where do you want to go next? You could choose
your own adventure. Comuno, guess there's a lot of fun today.
We could talk Lebron and why is he like a
lazy dude or a woman that stopped trying? Why is
Lebron's story? I also like the Dan Campbell's story. So
we'll keep you posted on everything going on in baseball.
But I think we go Lebron first. Okay, yeah, Lebron
is well put it this way, he said something that
(15:28):
I think could potentially rub Lakers fans the wrong way. Well,
that'll be and I don't agree with what he said.
I mean, that's up for you to decide as well.
So hey, hit us up at Covin Onrich eight seven
to seven nine nine on Fox. Will play the Lebron
clip next and explain exactly what we're talking about here

Phil Swift. You know why because he has a cool

you gotta see how many hot women want to come
and dance on the boat. Anyway. Cavino and Rich, speaking
of boats, would they call Brady oh the boat greatest
best biceps of all? Tost biceps of all time. I
(18:12):
don't know about that. So do you flex when you

Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis coming at you from
Los Angeles And speaking of Lebron, James is in the news.
(18:56):
It was Monday, actually from media day, Lakers Media Day,
and he said some controversial things. I took two things
away from this Rich that sort of rubbed me the
wrong way. What's that? Well? He said again, he was asked, hey,
King Lebron, you got anything left to prove? And here's
(19:17):
what he.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Said, Lebron, do you there's anything left to accomplish? I mean,
he pretty much checked all the boxes there for me.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Accomplished as the basketball or off the court, everything else,
extra credit, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I'll take it. I love it. I'll love what I do. No,
I got everything now. My immediate thought process was does
Lebron James have anything left to prove? Right? I'm like, well,
as a Laker, he does. As a basketball player, no,
But as a Laker, I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, he won
one in the bubble and all that. How many people
(19:54):
are quick to dump on that accomplishment though, like that
bubble doesn't count. I personally think it does. Yeah, I
personally personally think it does. But just to shut up
the naysayers and the haters and to do it again,
I mean, you are Lebron James. You got to another one, right,
Just get another one and shut everybody up. To me,
that's something improve on that the bubble wasn't a fluke
(20:15):
that you won with the Lakers again, you know, solidify
your legacy. To me, there's something to prove there. But
then Danny g as the resident Lakers fan, He's like, yeah,
but as a fan, I just don't even want to
hear that. Would you like to? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Well, ask a young teammate with Lebron. Would you like
to hear or see that quote. I don't think so,
because you want to win one yourself, and you want
Lebron to be motivated as motivated as you are to
get that chip. So I don't want to hear Lebron
say everything else is extra credit that I do right now.
I want him to say, I'm still hungry as if
(20:51):
I had never won a championship before. And I know
some people still don't have me up there with Michael.
To be up there with Michael, I need to win
another one at.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yes, and then that's more to prove. And as a fan,
you're like, Yo, where's that fire, dude? What do you mean?
We live in a world of comparisons, and the first
thing people will think, that's how very Kobe or Jordan like.
Or Brady recently, when he was talking about how winning
Rings was fun to him, Yeah, Tom Brady got all
snippy when Baker Mayfield insinuated he wasn't fun. Remember if
he wanted to have fun, he take his kids to Disneyland.
(21:22):
Winning was fun. So so that's sort of the fire
you would want from an aging veteran on your team
who still got game, and who's also entering a season
with his son with a lot to prove there, And
that was something that people noticed that Bronni not media
trained yet. He was sort of boring and monotone and
his answers. My dad'd be like, yo, Bronnie, let's yo, Hey,
get this kid of coffee, get him a Pumpkins fi.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Lebron busted his chops and loosened him up for the
recordings he was doing for media.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Now are we overly dissecting that? Hey, maybe a little bit,
but it's Lebron James again. They asked him, do you
have anything left to prove? He says no, everything else
is extra credit, insinuating nothing left to prove. I have
to disagree. And as a fan or teammate, that's a
really good angle. Danny g as a teammate, some young
(22:11):
hungry kid that wants to win, He's thinking, I'm playing
with Lebron. This is great. I got a chance. You
want to hear from the leader of the team, like, No,
everything else is icing on the cake. That's the cake
for everybody else. I look at it this way. I
don't like it, I said before the show. As the
show began, and by the way, not a Lebron hater
for the record, like I get excited to watch Lebron,
(22:32):
so not hating, just stating I don't like that quote
at all. Well, you know what, before I give you
my Lebron analogy, you see what just happened, Dan Byer
breaking news. Let's go. Oh they just played the update.
Bad breaking news? No breaking news? Yeah, there we go.
(22:52):
Breaking from Fox Sport.
Speaker 11 (22:54):
The Detroit Tigers have eliminated of the Houston Astros in
the American League Wild Card Series series, winning today's Game
two by a score of five to two. Next up
for Detroit a date with the Cleveland Guardians in the
American League Divisional Series that begins Saturday afternoon in Cleveland.
Tiger's winners today five to two, Astro season is over, Yo,
(23:18):
Dan Bayer, Fox Sports Radio Nations.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Oh, I just interpreted that. Sam didn't think that was
breaking news. It's a bottom of the hour. I just
heard going to Dan and he was gonna give us
that new of that That makes sense. Don't you feel
like Tigers fans have to feel a little bit like
is this real?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Light?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Like David at the dentist on a way back Wednesday,
Is this real life? Because just like how your Mets
made it like easy work yesterday, I feel like the
Tigers made easy work of the Astros in the postseason.
Fans got to be pumped about that. That's pretty great.
So let me ask you there, Iroves again, what we
discussed and debated momentum for these young, hungry teams means
(23:59):
so much in a post. Let me ask you there,
mister Pinstripe panties, mister October, mister Pinstripe Tony's. With that said,
do you want the Royals or Baltimore Orioles? Being that
the Yankees are now sitting by watching this series knowing
that they'll face either the Kansas City Royals or the O's,
have you fared against the O's this year? I don't know, man,
(24:21):
I don't know the exact record. I should, but that's
a good question. I think, uh. I think familiarity wins here.
I'd rather face the Orioles. Too many question marks when
facing the Royals. Yeah, I think the Yankees know what
the Orioles bring. Orioles were eight and five against the
Yankees this season. Try saying Orioles and Royals.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Orioles Royal oriolest life.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Louisville. So let's get back to Lebron. We'll keep you
posting on baseball, just so you know in the postseason
so far, this is now going on the if Seth
Lugo could retire the side here, yeah, this will be
twelve straight scoreless innings for the Orioles in the postseason.
The Ools got blank yesterday and it's the bottom of
(25:13):
the third and Seth Lugo dealing with his little stutter
step wind up. And I didn't care much about the record,
to be honest, Sam, between the Ools and the Yankees,
because the Orioles were so cold at the end of
the season. They made it easy for the Yankees to
win the Al East. Every time the Yankees lost, they lost.
They were just slumping hard. So you know, I think
the Royals are catching them at the right time. But
(25:36):
we'll keep you posted. Two and five against the Yankees
against the Yanks, all right, we'll see what happens. But
back to Lebron.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
We were talking about his teammates being hungry, speaking to
hungry Tigers.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, Lebron James saying that he has nothing left to prove.
Everything else is extra credit is such a weak answer,
and he said it playfully. You know, he's having funnest
media day, but fans do not want to hear that.
Teammates do not want to hear that. And again I
(26:07):
think he does have a lot to prove well, I
said before I would let you know, why is Lebron
James like a fat out of shape? I felt like
ravishing Ricorod right now, you fat out of shape punks
to Tony peons. Why why is Lebron like the fat,
balding husband or the lazy wife? Because what happens is
(26:30):
you go into a relationship, a partnership, a contract with
the team, if you show signs of well I'm not
putting the same effort anymore, or I lost that hunger.
I've always said that I always want my wife to
want me because she wants me, not because like, well
he's my husband. There's some sort of obligation. Yeah that's
(26:52):
you know, what's your birthday? Yeah, look at it like this.
People that go into a marriage, nothing bothers me more
when I hear a guy call his wife his old lady.
That's the worst, and my old lady, or they'll ball
and chains or pathetic when the guy says something like, yeah,
I don't really buy new clothes or care about my
(27:12):
haircut or go to the gym. I'm married for what
for what? My wife? Yeah, to your wife, I'm wearing
the same silver tabs I wore ninety four. Like, hey,
maybe he should get a new pair. Yeah, I still
got the same carpenter jeans from nineteen ninety nine. Well
guess what, the Bob Vila's are out of style. Yeah,
you know what I mean, unless you're Karen Carpenter or
Jesus he was a carpent direct right, you shouldn't be
(27:33):
wearing Carpenter pants. It's a bad it's a bad attitude.
That's what rich is getting at. Yeah, but do you
want to have the same fire, the same flame, or
at least give the perception that that you do. You
don't want to work with someone that says, well, if
I stay later, it's not like I'm getting paid more. Bye,
Like that's like the lazy s cutoral. It's it is
(27:54):
like the husband or wife that says, well, I don't
need to shave my legs. It's winter and I'm married
with the guy that's you know, guzzlin beer is watching
football saying, Eh, who cares, old lady? What is she
gonna do? Leave me? Yes, so Rich is saying, like,
you start getting lazy, You're not putting in the same effort.
I'm not saying Lebron is the equivalent of a fat,
lazy husband or Rice Lebron, but he's that quote is equivalent. Yeah.
(28:16):
I don't like the quote, but I feel like his
actions showed different because if you did watch Team USA,
of course Lebron looked like a twenty year younger version
of himself. So Lebron on the court, you could never
deny what he brings. And how about this is that?
I just like it? I just like it as a message?
Could he No, I want him to look like the guy.
How about this though? How about if he's like, hey,
do you have anything else to prove? Yeah, that me
(28:37):
and my son, me and Bronny could win together and
we have a great team behind us, and we want
to win as a team. And nothing would mean more
than for me to win with my son. Man, that's
what you say. I'm not media trained, I'm not Lebron. No,
I'm good. We mean you're good. Now. Everything else is
icing on the cake. No, it's not not for everybody else,
(28:57):
not for the fans. I don't like it. I don't
like it. I don't like it, and I agree with
richell Rich his actions do prove otherwise, so he gets
to pass. I'm talking about the quote. I don't want
to hear that actions speak louder than words. Think of
a legend, right, Dan Patrick, Damn Patrick is a few
years away from hanging it up. You could almost argue
that Lebron and Dan Patrick are on the same trajectory
(29:17):
legends a year or so away from saying farewell. Right,
what if Dan Patrick's like I accomplished everything I needed
to do. Man on the you know, like, yeah, I
got nothing to prove. He's just mailing it in now.
But he's not. His actions showed that that show is
still Lebron's game is still top notch. So do the
(29:38):
words matter? I think they do they matter. Look, Danny
G's like, I don't think I like hearing that, And
I at first I thought my thought process and I
just was reading the headlines, and then I heard the quote.
I was like, yeah, I think he does have something
to prove. His sons on the team this year. The
bubble thing is always speculated on the Bubble Championship. He's
always compared to Jordan while he's still playing among his
(30:00):
he's still playing, he still has something to prove among
his peers. If you've noticed the most respected love guy.
Look at Team USA. What was the sentiment Danny Geeer
on Team USA players that had never played until Bron.
Weren't they saying, this guy in practice plays like a
twenty year old. Oh yeah, yeah, Like the sentiment is, well,
he's still Lebron. It's almost it's almost crazy. People like,
(30:21):
how does he have this much left in the tank
and he's you know.
Speaker 10 (30:24):
Yeah, his teammates remember what the coaches were saying, They're like,
this guy is just not from this planet.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Remember we talked about optics. Though, If anything were to
happen this year and he's slipping a little bit and
he's playing bad, it'll come back to things like that.
Well he did tell you, yeah, he wasn't taking it serious,
you know since the media day that I remember that
media day. He just sort of just want Then it'll
turn into the narrative like he just wanted to stick
around to play one year with his son. His heart's
really not in it. If that attitude continues. Interesting, that'll
(30:53):
be the narrative. Now, well your thoughts at Covino and
rich and eight seven seven nine on Fox Side. Uh,
let's go to dan By for an update. What's up, dB, guys.
Speaker 11 (31:06):
We did have the breaking news a little while ago,
as the Tigers have advanced to the American League Divisional
Series and this is how they did it.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
On the Tigers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Round ball shot for a second, Keith Bull charge field
and clip Tigers win.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
They're moving on.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
They win three to one in Game one and shut
down the astros powerful offense. A four run rally in
Game two and a five to win. Oh my goodness.
The Tigers are headed to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yes they are.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
They'll play Game one against the Guardians coming up on Saturday.
As for today's Game two, it was Andy A Baniez
with the pin hit three RBI double that cleared the
bases in the eighth inning and broke the two to
two tie. I'll give a hat tip to ESPN for
this stat that they just put out. On August eleventh,
the Tigers were fifty five and sixty three, ten games
out of the playoffs, with a point two percent chance
(31:57):
to make the postseason, and now they're on to the Alds.
For the Astros ends their seven year streak of making
it to the Alcs, So that is over.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I like that.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Do you remember who the ALCS was the last time
the Astros weren't in it? Well, you give me the
year so that they made it the past seven, not
including twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Twenty sixteen was the year the Cubs beat the Indians.
At the time, the Indians beat the Indians, beat the
Red Sox.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
They beat the Toronto Blue Jays and five games. Andrew
Miller was the series MVP.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yes, well, let me want you say something convene when
you said it, when you said it, just kidding the Orioles.
Speaker 11 (32:42):
I think people in Baltimore would like to forget right
now because they forget how to score, or forgotten how
to score. You mentioned they didn't score in Game one
and still no runs today. Top of the fourth inning,
Royals up by a score of one to nothing. Again,
Royals up one to zero in that series. Mets and
Brewers seven thirty Eastern Braves and Padres eight thirty Eastern
Time tonight in their Game twos, New York Giants water
receiver Milik Neighbors is in the early stages of concussion
(33:05):
protocol and didn't practice today. Dolphins defensive end Jaylen Phillips
is gonna miss the rest of the season with a
torn acl DeVante adams wish list has the Saints and
Jets on top of it is he wants out of
Las Vegas. That's according to ESPN. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson
missed practice today because of an oblique injury, Cardinals turn
and Trey McBride returning to practice after missing time with
the concussion, and an NBA note Maverick scard Luka Doncic
(33:28):
is gonna miss a week or so. He'll be reevaluated
next week during training camp because of a left calf contusion.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Guys, back, dude, I'm not laughing at that. I'm laughing
at it. I just dawned on me that man, DeVante's
gonna crush on Derek Carr. I'm like, Saints, Oh yeah,
Derek Carr. So he's like he wants to either followed
Derek Carr or reunite with Aaron Rodgers, which at this
stage of his veteran almost thirty two years old career,
it's clear Deavante Adams has two destinations that he wants
(33:54):
either with his old college bud Derek Carr or the
guy that brought him to glory, Aaron Rodgers. Now we'll
take your feedback on Lebron. We got to talk Dan
Campbell and have you accidentally ever given something away? Oh?

James discussion, any of the thoughts moving on? I actually
thought the one more thing again, let's play a SoundBite
immediate day on Monday. It's gone viral in the past
few days, people talking about his response. Hey, got anything
(36:24):
left to prove?
Speaker 8 (36:26):
There's anything left to accomplish. I mean he pretty much
you know, check all the boxes.
Speaker 9 (36:31):
There, okay, an that for me accomplished as a basketball
It's as much everything else extra credit. I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
I'll take it down. I love it.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
I'll know what I'll do not he did.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I got everything. Everything else is extra credit. He's done
it all. And look, when all said and done, we'll
look back and say, yeah, he was one of the goats, right,
the goat of this generation. I'm not a Lebron hater
at all, but how about this. He's gonna be forty
in December. Yo, at forty years old. By the way,
you have the weakest coat. That was weak. I'm sorry, guys,
(37:11):
I didn't know we were having a goat off. Leave
the side of things, boys. I always sayhim does a
great goat. That's great. Yeah, now stick to your boats.
How about this. You're thirty nine, right, we know you
still got game, But how about inspiration for all the
older guys out there that at forty? Hey, I just look, man,
I've done it all, but I'm gonna be forty. I'm
(37:33):
playing with my son. I want to show everybody that
you still got it. I still got it at forty
years old in the NBA, and I want to win
with my kid. There's so many things he could have
said that nah, everything else, extra credit, get out of here.
I think he's got plenty to prove, and I wish
him all the best. I do, I do, Yeah, I listen.
(37:54):
It's a fun story. But watching him for Team USA
did make me realize whatever he says doesn't matter because
he still got it on the court. I just you
want Lebron not to have because it almost comes across
as arrogant, like I got nothing else to prove. Like
I wish he spoke with a little more. Hey, I
wouldn't want to win with a guy that thought that way.
(38:16):
You know, we tie things back to a relatable place.
You want to work with a guy that feels that way.
No way, if I tell Cavino, I'm happy with the
way the show lose. I want bigger things. I want
no nothing else to prove. That sounds a little content
just because you wanted to me and the other guys have.
So there it is. That's the update. That's our take.
(38:37):
You make the call at Covino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio. All right, I got a question, quick, quickie
for Danny g because he's out here in LA. He's
a big Dodgers fan. Duh. We live out here in
Los Angeles, but we're from the East Coast, Cavino Yankees.
As you know, Rich Davis WM a Mets fan. I'm
one of those East Coast votos. You're the only Mexican
(38:57):
dude in New York. I was every Latino friends with
all Puerto Rican or Dominican. Comnos are a Mexican. I'm
like what growing up on the East Coast? Right again,
eighties kid saying I was Mexican, half Mexican, half Italian.
For the most part, saying I was Mexicano, I might
as well have told Pia's from Mars because there was
no Mexicans around. It's not it's true true story now
here in La I'm not Mexican enough. You're a You're
(39:21):
not Mexican enough for the Vatos, and you're not a
Vato enough for the You're not Weite enough of the
Grengosic and Rich. On the other hand, he may be
white on the outside, but he's brown on the inside.
The bone. You know, maybe watch Blood and Blood Out
if we were going to be friends. Two of the
Bone anyway, I asked Danny g because he's a Dodgers
(39:41):
fan out here in La, which they are a ton
of Dayers fans. You guys are perpetually in the playoffs.
See every year, it's like, you know, there's a few
guarantees now a showy thought out one of them is
the Dodgers will make the postseason. That's like one of
those facts, right. It's like in the two thousand and
late nineties, like the Patriots will win the you know,
(40:02):
the Afseast.
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Oh, I think I know what you're going to say next,
but then they fall on their face sometimes in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Yeah, but I'm I'm gonna rub that in at all.
I was more gonna ask you because it's a commonplace
thing for you guys. To be in the divisional, be
in the NLCS. Do you have a desire to go
to the games instead of like a Detroit Tigers fan,
who it's like, Oh, we haven't been to the postseason
in a decade. Do you have an urge? I mean,
(40:29):
I just feel like when teams aren't there a lot,
there's that you know, we gotta go. It's also an
age thing. That's what I think. You ask a twenty
something year old me if I want to go to
a Yankees playoff game and the victory parade, I'm like, hell, yeah,
you know rock in my jersey. I'm yeah, of course,
as you get older, yellow lazy as forty something year old,
(40:50):
do you want to sit on your ass? Yeah, you're like, yeah,
you know the sea, the view from the TV is great, Danny.
It's not like I'm offering you tickets or anything. I'm
just saying like, do you have a desire to go
to the or you like, man, maybe you have. They
made the World Series.
Speaker 10 (41:03):
I'm just gonna say that I think at the age
i'm at in how comfortable I am with the flat
street in my living room, Yeah, that I would go
to a World Series game for sure.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
And I have a newborn. It was when's newborn.
Speaker 10 (41:15):
He's now, he's a toddlerddler, he's about to be fourteen
months old.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
He's got a Mustang's to be fourteen How is the
man of the house. He's growing up? Man, he has full,
full on sideburns. So is that a Is that a fair?
I think it's fair. Is that a fair? Uh? You
know what it is like certain people need a nudge.
I'm not saying I wouldn't go. I would need a
little more of a nudge than I would have back
in the day. But I'm saying when the Yankees were
(41:40):
going to the World Series, it seemed like every year
in the two thousands, you know, if you're a Patriots fan,
and every year without fail, if worst case scenario, you
made it to the AFC Championship, like damn Byer. When
the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl back to
back years far between, you gotta go. You grew up
with Steve Largin and yeah, you I'm guessing you found
(42:03):
a way to get into those games media pass or something.
Sure it.
Speaker 11 (42:07):
I mean there was a lot of miserable times, but
you still cherished Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, I feel like you have to go if your
team is never really there. But hey, your thoughts at
Covino Rich. We got more next. Fox Sports Radio
