I'll look back and say I maximized it. I think
you do it for your own attention. I think you
just want to be the mascot. I just really believe that.

wasn't about your kids all eyes on me. It was
like me, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Try to fool me.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I know, but get this. You may want to show
up to this for charity. On Sunday morning before the
NFL kicks off, there's a little softball function for my
daughter's team. Can I signed up to be in the

your kids or do you just want to be the clown?

Rich one foot in Dad Life, one foot up your
ass every afternoon right here on Fox Sports Radio Live
from La Always a pleasure to be here, but especially
on a holiday like today.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Football, baseball, fencing, you name it, we do it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But you know what, it is a holiday, and I
do want to call you out or just not even
call you out question you you can call me out
and be like, well, who's your team? Cavino, the La Aztecs.
I'm wearing an la As Techs shirt today. They're in
nineteen seventy four LA Soccer team, Sam Sam Company in
my shirt.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I like the colors.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, it's pretty cool, right, looks cool, I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Danny g questioned, Yo, Rich, how come you're not wearing
your forty Niner shirt today? It's a holiday, And that
is an interesting question. You wait all year NFL begins
and you're not wearing your forty nine Ers gear. Is
it a game day thing or is it like, hey,
it's the kickoff today, football starts. Well, if I wore
the Niners gear today, I feel like that would be Yeah,
(04:58):
but you don't have one Niner shirt. No, but I
feel like wearing a Niner shirt today would be like
that guy that goes to the Dodgers Padres game wearing
a Cub shirt. Today?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Is the Eagles and Cowboys? No, No, Sunday's game. No,
rewind to a year ago and the year before that. Yeah,
the Thursday night opener, we all had our NFL gear
on for the holiday. You had a Niner shirt on
last year, exactly a year ago.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm pretty sure you did. And exactly a year ago
we went to Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
We watched another tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
My daughter locked herself out of the house, so I
had to leave in a hurry.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, it feels like yesterday you had a forty nine
er shirt on. So what's the rule here? Should everybody
be representing it? I don't know about that. No, not today,
your team players.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Let's let's get into this.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No more dilly dellly NFL is here tonight, lazy days
a row at a lot of points, A lot of points,
my friends, eight and a half. I I feel like
this is a ye intruders, beware, goony style, stay away.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Eight and a half is such a tricky number, you
know me. I love gambling and wagering as much as anyone.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's it's too many points for me to feel like, oh, yeah,
eight and a half. The Eagles will win by double digits,
because you could easily see that. But then would you
be shocked? Divisional Game opening night? If the Cowboys kept
it closer like just it wouldn't be shocking. This is
always surprises in the National Football League. So to me,
(06:27):
I look at the NFL and say, all right, it's
the Eagles Cowboys Division. Eight and a half is too much.
But then if you bet the Cowboys to cover the
eight and a half and then the Eagles whooped their ass,
you'd be like, oh, they didn't. They let Michael Parsons
go this. This team's in disarray.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Why would I do that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I have a thought on this.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I would feel stupid if I lost either way on
this bet. It's a simple thought. I like your thought
of there's always that surprise factor, right, yeah, and they
keep it close and they're better than we thought. But
I also like the thought of the Eagles are in
a different mindset, different place.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
This year.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I saw someone ask Jalen Hurts a question and it
was a goofy question, but at the same time a
good question. And what I mean by that is this
guy says, hey, Jalen, He's like, what's up. He goes,
do you feel more confident this year because you're Super
Bowl champions?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And he's like.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He's like, when you get a promotion, don't you feel
more confident? And the guy's like, ah, well, I haven't
got one in a long time. He goes, well, you know,
we played a win, and you know I've proven that
I could do it. And now that we all sort
of know that we faced that reality, we know what
it takes.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, we feel hell a lot more confident.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, you just said, gives me no more answers because
now Michae, well maybe they're going over confident.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Maybe they don't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Damn buyer, do you get a feel on this game
at all or no?
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Well, I felt better on the ego side of things
about a month ago, and then now the line moving
that way makes me think maybe it could go the
other way. I was just going to give you guys,
just a couple of numbers. We've been doing the NFL
kickoff game, if you will, since two thousand and two.
There have only been six six instances where the road
team has won that game. However, two out of those
(08:08):
six have come within the last three years. And last
year you just mentioned the Ravens Chiefs game. Remember Isaiah
Likelyly's big toe was out of bounds. Maybe a tight Yes,
it could have been a tie game. Maybe the Ravens
go for too and win it. The point being is
the road teams have had success as of late in
this matchup, even though historically the defending champion or the
(08:31):
home team in most cases because it hasn't always been
that one year when the Packers and Bears started the
season because of the NFL's one hundredth was a year,
but the home team has usually had the edge in
this game.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And Dan Bayer, when you think about where teams are
in December going into the playoffs in January, we always
talk about how those teams are so different than the
team you remember back in the early September. So I've
put so little stock into thinking these are the teams
we're going to see in months from now. So to me,
I want to be shocked if the Eagles won but
(09:03):
by a touchdown by four, and then all of a sudden, you're.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Like, that's up to eight and a halfs a lot.
But then again, if you told me it was twenty
eight to ten.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Who's stopping him? Their defense has no identity, They're like,
who are we? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Got a solid, stellar, proven offense already? I think I
think they get stopped. So you like Eagles, I think
Dallas might be ass and we'll discuss that further. What
are your thoughts might be ass Now there's another tradition.
I feel like Dan Byer could give us the best
scoop on it. I don't know what it's called. The
six picks, the six studio picks on the laminated sheet.
(09:38):
Is there a cool name for the Fox Sports Radio
tradition that we all take.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Part in that I started that way back when?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's right? Oh, the dB Doozy I called the dB Doozy.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Is there a name for this?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
No, it's just as simple. The twenty twenty five Fox
Sports Radio NFL preseason picks.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
We Etesies, DB's Doozy.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Dv's Doozy Auntie laminated piece of paper.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
It looks so pretty at first, and then people started
scratching out and repicking things.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I didn't like that.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
I think we've done this for about fifteen years. Number one,
The translucent cover came in because of too many coffee
and food spills that happen unfortunately in a radio studio.
We've also had to take precautions with empty boxes because people.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Change their picks in week eight.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
That will look differently once it is officially sealed, but
we give them up until Sunday at least week one
to make their predictions in the studio because.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
We haven't officially filled it out yetet, but we will
make our pick. So let me describe this right now.
DB's Doozy started it. dB, he started fifteen years ago,
as you heard. So we're honored to be part of
the tradition for the past what four or five years now,
Rich And it's a piece of paper that's taped down
on the console and the other studio right there, right
where Danny g and samar and everybody here at Fox
(10:59):
Sports picks their AFC champ, their NFC champ, the Super
Bowl champ out on a limb, Like what's You're out
on a limb, take the worst team in the NFL
and your MVP. So that's how this goes down. And
we're gonna do it live here on the show because
that's the show's tradition, right dang.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yeah, we've been doing this for a few years now
on the kickoff of NFL's regular season.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, nervous because once Dan Byer laminates that paper, it's
all over.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh yeah, it's official. Left, it's like a tattoo. Choose wise,
I know, I really am a little nervous about it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So we'll go down the room, go around the room,
category by category, and no, no, god, I have started
je of that nonsense.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
No, it's one person at a time, rich Yes, oh yeah, yeah,
one person out of time. So Covino, we're gonna start
with you.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know if I'm prisoner of the moment or
hard knocks really sold me, or I believe in Josh Allen,
who I have in our gear teen league Dan Byers league.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But they've got so much to play for.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Josh Allen has that newlywed sort of aura and confidence
about him. He has more to play for, and it's
their last season in the old stadium. Bills is my pick,
Buffalo Bills. Man, I just think it's their year. They've
come too close. It's their year this year, all right.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
All right now, NFC champion, Covino.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
NFC champ. It's easy, easy, breezy, beautiful. I already said it.
They're playing with a different confidence this year. They've proven
they could do it, and I don't think they're any
less oft than they were last year. Like I said,
I think the confidence in the vibe they're bringing this
(12:54):
year makes them better. So Eagles is your NFC champ Oh,
look at you Bill's Eagles. Some times the obvious choice
is the is the right.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Choice, and then you're Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So I really thought about this, and as confident as
the Eagles are, sometimes, like you said, Rich, sometimes you
can be overly confident. I don't subscribe to that all
the time, but I do believe in this case, the
foot's not on the gas as much as it would
be last year, and I feel like the Bills have
(13:27):
more to play for. I feel like they got what
it takes to beat the Eagles super Bowl champion, the Bills,
I know, I feel like, oh, I feel I'm trying
to sound convincing, but at the same time, I'm like, wait,
am I sure?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Am I just really buying into hard knocks?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Because you're not scratching out anything on this sheet, all
right out on a limb. Now you're surprised, all.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Right, You guys can help me phrase this, okay, because
it's more of a thought. I feel like Russell Wilson's
going to have a good season. But do I just
simplify and say that Giants have a winning record this year?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Would that be fair enough? Like it's not even necessarily Wilson.
I feel like Wilson in dark, like they bind. I
feel like they have a good energy about them. I
feel like they're playing with a lot of chemistry. So
I'll just say the Giants have a winning season, is
that right?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Giants, to be honest with you, team that picked fourth
last year in the draft.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Right, right?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And we did some schedule watching and it seems unlikely.
But that's the add on the limb portion of it, right.
It's unlikely, but I'm add on a limb, and it's
a part of me that believes it your worst team
in the rounds. I think everything about him is doo doo,
including the color of the uniform.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, you don't like the old duds?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Right, And m VP, so there is a silver lining
and a shining light. Even though I picked the Eagles
to lose the Super Bowl. MVP is Saquon Barkley, so
you have it. Those are my picks, all.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Right, Rich Davis.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I don't want to say that I changed why I
picks it all because of Cavino, but I had a
couple of things where I was a similar at a
similar thought. So I'm gonna mix it up a little
bit because I do love Buffalo in the AFC, but
it's so to me, it's so even between two teams,
so I'll go opposite. I think the Ravens. I think
Lamar Jackson, that team is stacked. They were an end
zone drop away from sort of moving along last year.
(15:19):
I think the Ravens and Bills of the elite. But
I'm gonna go Ravens AFC. Lamar if he's gonna win
one of he's twenty eight. I feel like he's been
in the league twenty five years. He's only twenty eight.
He's in his prime. Lamar Jackson AFC. You got the
Ravens Now NFC. You might think I'm gonna be a
homer and say forty nine ers. Forty nine ers are
(15:42):
gonna lose the NFC Championship game. Oh to the Lions. Wow,
I think we got the Lions. I hate to say it.
I think the forty nine ers are gonna over deliver.
People be like, Wow, Purty and Katal and McCaffrey, they're
the real deal. They're healthy, they stay healthy. But I
think the Lions, this is the year they get over
the hump and now you got the Lions. Ravens in
the Super Bowl, and I hate to crush the feelings
(16:04):
and hearts of all the Lions fans out there because
it would be so beautiful to see them whin.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I just think this is Lamar's year. I think the
Ravens are Super Bowl champions. Lock it in.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I mean it sounds fun.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I do again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm I'm not giving you alternate answers just to cover
my base, but I love Cavino's Giants answer. I was
even gonna go on a lemon say that they make
the postseason, but my other one is equally crazy. So
I think this is the year when you look through
the divisions and you look through what could go right
and what could go wrong. A couple things go wrong,
(16:40):
and I think the Chiefs missed the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Whoa, I.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Think they're ten and seven and somehow miss on a tiebreaker.
It's gonna be one of those like remember the year
the Patriots won ten games, but they lost a tiebreaker
and they didn't make the playoffs. I think this is
one of those. Like I hate to say it because
I love them, but I think they're good guys. But
I think there's a couple of key injuries or something
happens a couple of balls that don't bounce their way.
So you're saying that windows, I think the Windows. I
(17:07):
think it's just they go ten and seven or nine
and eight. They're a winning team, but they somehow are
on the outside looking, and so Chiefs missed.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Finally, do you have the Chargers tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I have the Charge.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
This is one of those things like the Chargers may
win a close game, right, you don't know?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Worst team? Yep? Who you got at the bottom?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I gotta go Commino Browns. I was gonna say Saints,
but brown Skill Browns. But they're terrible. They're gonna be bad,
all right.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
In your MVP.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I think just based on offensive numbers alone, they'll make
the postseason. Joe Burrow, I think he's gonna put up
circus numbers. So Joe Burrow's my MVP. Yeah that's fun.
That's good.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, there we go, lock me in all those Yeah,
that's great. You got Danny g.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
All right, I'll go really quick here and then we'll
go to buyer AFC Champ. I'm gonna go Bills. I've
been writing that in for two three seasons in a row. Now,
I think that's gonna happen finally, NFC champ. You know,
I was high on the Packers before for the whole
Michael Parsons deal. Jordan Love I think is going to
take another step forward, you know what. Josh Jacobs especially,
I know what he can do. Being from the Raiders.
(18:08):
I loved how they drafted Matthew Golden.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Golden, a lot of people think is gonna be like legit.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Yeah, I think he's gonna have a great season. I'm
gonna go the Packers as the NFC chap So nice
super Bowl there between the Bills and the Packers, But
a lot of the same reasons as you mentioned Covino
the last season in their old stadium, watching hard Knocks,
I feel like it's density that they win.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Density, the long suffering there r and.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
That and that too, Like eventually they have to win
for those nineties teams that didn't like I feel like
it's destined eventually happened.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah, out on a limb. This is where I'll give
my one homer pick. Dante Thornton Junior, first receiver since
Megatron to be at least six to four or above
and run a four to three. He's turned so many
heads in camp in the preseason. I'm saying that that
rookie for the Raiders was he fourth fifth round pick.
He's going to have over one thousand receiving yards and
(19:05):
be one of the new star receivers. Be talking about him, Yes, okay,
worst team. I also wrote down Browns MVP Josh Allen.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Nice I was just thinking about it.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, he's gonna light it up all season long. Newly
married swag that you've I mean, he already had swag,
but he's gonna be swaging.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We're motivating new bride, new fiance or babies, because if
you think babies, then McCaffrey and Purty are both new dads.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
But you know, you know, it's a great indicator.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Rich Like, let's say you got a chance to talk
to everybody at Fox Sports and everyone just praised the
Rich Davis, like he makes our job so much easier.
He's the greatest guy. He's fantastic everyb he does. But
when you get that sort of praise from your peers
and people you work with, it says a lot. And
when they talk about Josh Allen in Buffalo, Man, it's
(19:53):
like everybody loves them. Tell you, and even as the players.
They look at him like, Yo, that's our guy. You'm
a superhero. You might be wearing your Josh Allen hard
knocks Bill's blinders right now. We don't know, because I'll
tell you this, I would want them to win. I
picked the Ravens and I stick by it. But if
you ask me who I want to win, I love Buffalo.
I would love to see but I just think the
(20:14):
Ravens are if they keep it together, and and I
just think they're getting hard to beat. One of the
players on the Bills there was a scene, Danny, do
you remember this where like somehow they got Josh Allen
sweat on them. Yeah, and it was one of his player,
one of his receivers or something, right, a young like
younger player. And he's like, yo, man, I just hope
some of that greatness rubs off on me.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
She's like, they think the drinking, drinking, it's nice.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They're thinking that, like there's a lot to it.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Many just like this aura around.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They love this dude, and it's bound to happen.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
So we'll see all right now it is Dan Byer's turn. Damn.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
I love your guys pick so far, And if you
had asked me this in June, I would have had
a different answer. In fact, if you had to ask
me this two weeks ago, I would have had a
different answer.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
A lot of your stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
But in the AFC, for as much as I want
to believe in the bills fantastic storyline, the hard Knocks,
the final season of high Mark Stadium, things don't end
well for Buffalo and they're going to end in the
AFC Championship Game when the Denver Broncos come to town
and upset the Buffalo Bills. Denver Broncos won Super Bowl
(21:23):
fifty in Santa Clara. They'll be back there representing the
AFC in Super Bowl sixty.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
That's a good pick. That's a fun one.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
And in the NFC, I'll tell you what, there's a
lot of teams that we think we could expect great
things from. But one team that we aren't talking about
was actually talked about by Rich Davis just a little
bit ago. The only thing we say about the Lions
is they lost both of their coordinators. We're talking about Philadelphia,
We're talking about Washington, We're talking about Green Bay, we're
talking about Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
We're talking about the Rams. Good or bad.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
All of these teams, but we're not talking about Detroit,
and I think that helps them. I like the Lions
as well. The Lions are my representative the NFC. And
then that Broncos Lions matchup much like the Bills. Things
don't end well for the Lions. The Denver Broncos will
be your Super Bowl sixty champions.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, and by the way, does that not elevate the
profile of Sean Payton if that's the case?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Right?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I love what they have up front. They send Nick
Benito to his extension today. I love offensively their offensive line.
I think it's a real team concept. So that's why
I'm buying into Denver.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, let me make this one point. I can't
argue Dan Bayer with It doesn't end well for the
Bills and the Lions, right, It seems that way, But
you don't think that ever changes in the Star, right
seeb Your Bronco pick sort of leans into the possibility
of my out on a limb, which was Chiefs maybe
on the outside look at him, what is your hut
(22:48):
on a limb?
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Out on a limb was going to come from the
AFC West, But it's more towards Covino's world. While he
loves the Giants, not everything is going to go right
for the Commander's Commanders missed the playoffs this year. That's
my out on a limb worst team Saints. Kellen Moore's
contract shows that this year isn't worth what it is,
(23:10):
So you're not going to give him a three or
four year deal. I think you got a five year deal.
Point is is this is kind of a throwaway here
for the Saints. I think they're the worst team in
the league. And I've said it. I'm just gonna pick
Joe Burrow every year until he wins an MVP, So
I'm doing it again this year. Do it, Joe Burrow
my MV that's a cool pick.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh all right, well we'll spot and Sam, you got
a little extra time to think about this. We'll go

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Are you knowing.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Is your favorite Monday night football combo? Definitely gotta be
al Franken Dan, I mean, that's the one we grew
up with. Is that is that bring back the the
nostalgia to the childhood.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's got to right, that's the one I think of.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
All right, let's let's keep this rolling.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Our NFL predictions, the dB Doozy, the damn buyer sheet
that's in the studio every year.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I was Samuel, you are up, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
This is where you pick your AFC NFC Super Bowl
out on a limb worst team and MVP.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
If you're going back once you say it's official.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Bro, could you believe VJ. Husky?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
No? I can't.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Oh, oh, there's more than that. You can.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
He wrote on the sheet VJ. Husky.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But then he insists he put a little arrow and
wrote the big Vanilla Poppy on.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
A separate line or the same No, and making sure
we know it was him, just so you know.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, let's go.
Speaker 9 (27:05):
I would say, now that we've confirmed that representing the NFC,
in my prediction will be the La Rams. What the
La Rams representing the AFC will be the Baltimore Ravens.
Should I give my super Bowl pick at the end?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yes, sure about that?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
So it's gonna be Rams versus the Ravens in the
Super Bowl. But my worst team's gonna be the Browns.
My out on Olympic is gonna be the Pats go
nine and eight with Mike Rabel there's first?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Is that really out on a limbo?
Speaker 10 (27:35):
Sam?
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I mean, I don't know if much as expected of
the Patriots. I'm just I don't know. And I'm not
saying they make the playoffs or not, just saying they
go nine to eight. Sam B Ballsley say the Patriots
will win the again to the playoffs. New come on
my MVP C J. Stroud of the Texans.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Who Now, that's that's out on a limb. I like
that's a good one.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
I like that, okay, And then my super Bowl champion
will be the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford's bad back
and all the Rams win it, ram it all day,
ramm it all day.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Rams.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Huh, I'd rather here would pick me huskey trucks.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Spot.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
What do you got by the way, the Rams, Sam,
they are in my mind, uh, the one of the
top few, like I don't know teams. In fact, I
mean Jim Bayer and I were having the conversation during
the break that like DeVante Adams to me is one
of the top few confusing players, like if he had
twelve hundred yards or two hundred yards, I want to
(28:34):
be shocked either way.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
There's a lot of questions in LA, but we questioned
them last year without Aaron Donald, and look at how
good they were.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
They ended up winning the division.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Quick point over underwin total for the Patriots eight and
a half.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
So his out on a limb is terribly it's just
north of so really eight and a half wins was expected.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So you really just picked the over Sam. Congratulations, All right, Spot,
you're up. Oh there was much more bold print than that.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Uh, mine is gonna be short and sweet with the
help of a chat ept. Uh So for the a FC,
it actually rich aligns with you. We have the Baltimore
Ravens as the front runner for the AFC and you
went to Maryland for college. I did you know what
I always I did always like the Ravens turtle. Yeah,
the little Turpin turtle for the NFC Turtles. We're gonna
(29:21):
go with the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
And obviously of the two going to the Super Bowl. Uh,
the winner will be the Baltimore Ravens. As a result,
mister Lamar Jackson will be the n VP.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
That's these are good picks.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
These are good picks. Uh. Worst record, Rich you said? Uh?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Would you say the Browns?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm gonna go with the Saints as the worst record,
which I know where you're back up and the out
on a limb. Travis Kelsey will take the stage at
Super at the Super Bowl this year alongside his fiancee
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Will be the halftime show. He'll be there, but he'll
be there but not playing.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
He will be on stage doing some sort of goofy
antics wow, alongside fiance Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I like that. There you go.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That is a good one, all right, So now your thoughts,
your thoughts. Fox Sports Radio Nation hit us up at
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You know, first, I was gonna.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Say, as we go to Dan Buyer, I would love
to hear the feedback from you guys. I want to
hear your out on a limbs. I feel like that's
my favorite category. You know, it could be really risky,
like Sam and pick half a game over Vegas's prediction,
but uh, let's go to dB what you got.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
The crazy thing is is things have been so bad
in New England that it did appear on the surface
that it would be so surface level Sam over. Yeah,
so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna stick up for
Sam in that part. There are a lot of out
of limbs that I wanted to choose for things that
are happening, and none of which will probably come to fruition.
But it'll be fun to hear what everybody thinks he'd be.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Can I ask you a question, yes, do you think
choosing a running back as MVP would be out on
a limb?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I feel like we pray so much.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I know it's rare, but we've moved, you know that
importance of a runn I'm.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Gonna let Rich finish myself.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
If Saquan didn't win last year, running back will never win.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Ever, that's why I'm saying this year because I know
I understand quarterback is.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Going to get that that nod.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
But we've put so much emphasis on the importance of
running back again that maybe this year maybe.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
No.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
If Saquon doesn't win it, they figure to work around.
Give him Offensive Player of the Year. Give the quarterback
the MVP you have. I think you have a better
chance of a defensive player winning MVP than you would
a running back just because of the quarterback. Cowboys and
Eagles Tonight eight twenty Eastern Times kicks off the NFL season.
Some other news from the NFL, Amari Cooper's calling it quits.
(31:39):
The veteran wide receiver called Pete Carroll this morning and said, yeah,
I'm not going to play any more, Coach. He signed
with the Raiders last week, the team that drafted him
in the first round a decade ago. The Broncos and
edge rusher Nick Benito agreed to a four year extension
worth one hundred and six million dollars. Seahawks gave right
tackle Abe Lewis a Abe Lucas a three year extension.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Guys, Thank you, Dan Byer. Is there any way we
could send Devin Williams back to the Brewers?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Is that possible? Like somehow oh things I love? I
loved him last night.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, I was watching that was that game was four
to four and I'm like, come on, Devin Williams, show
me the guy you are.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
And Astros win.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Guy's a nightmare just to it seems like so long ago,
but you know it was twenty twenty three when a
Mari Cooper had twelve hundred yards like sometimes in the
NFL Grand opening, grand closing, meaning something can go wrong

Oh and our.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Four games behind the Mets for the NL Wildcard Round.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I know.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
Two two is swaying, there's a high drive, it's way back.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
It is goold.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Then a Chapman does it again.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Three run blast here in.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
This top of the sixth inning, and the Giants have
opened up a nine to five lead.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Can I tell you that my Met fan friends are
so foolish that.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
They're like, the Mets aren't safe.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm like, I get four games isn't a ton But
you know the Giants, who everyone, they won nine of ten.
I'm relying heavily on Danny g and all the Dodgers.
They played the Dodgers seven more times. So that alone
makes me feel like, all right, I feel okay if
the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Except the Dodgers are struggling right now.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, the Dodgers, I think, have beaten the Giants four
out of six this year, so hopefully they'll just take
care of the giants. But the giants are hot Bay Area.
I feel you. You're looking good now. That is courtesy

All right, you want to uh, you want to kick
it to James and Virginia. He has a good out
on a limb. We were talking about our big picks
and then we'll go old school in a few what's up, James?
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Oh, thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. Has a Thursday,
Happy NFL season?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Hell yeah, James, And I know you're a command this guy.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
You should have sew Covino so confident he saw a
prop bet on the screen and it was say Quan
tonight ninety four and a half yards, and Cavino's like, oh,
but definitely, like he's so confident, I think, so keep
that in mind.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
What's up, man?
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Oh man? So I'm definitely taking the Chiefs and the
Super Bowl man until someone knocks them off and ISKC
and the AFC all the way, gotta go with Commanders.
For the first time since I was a kid, I
can legitimately say they have a chance to go to
a Super Bowl this year. I'm gonna take Jadon Daniels
as my MVP. I do believe that Joe Burrow definitely
(37:33):
have a chance to win the MVT. My two out
on the limbs are I think the Cincinnati Bengals make
the AFC Championship this year. Offensive firepower is immense, but
I feel like they just got to get their defense straight.
I think my other al on the limb is also
my worst team. I think the Dallas Cowboys are going
to be the worst team in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
You know, I wonder if the Cowboys asked. I wonder
if they are going to be asked or now that's
that's the question.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Really, Hey, thanks for the call, and that's the beauty
of today, right all of these things are a possibility.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
It's a clean slate.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Enjoy while you can and more of your feedback at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Now we do this every Thursday. Look at the time.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
If there's a certain ya, what we gonna do is
go back.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Back into time.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School won fifty hits.
That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, we get you involved together, like you said eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio. But hey, give us a call. We
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Now we're celebrating some birthdays today, Rich, you love giving
birthday shout outs on Pop two K it's your girl
Beonce's birthday. She's forty four, queen me. Reggie Jackson style,
who do you think of forty four?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Forty four? Definitely, Rich and Well, forty four. I went
to Syracuse. That's the number given to all the greats,
so I would say forty four. I think of Syracuse,
I think of Reggie, and we'll see if they got
forty four. That's why I think Tom Rathman on the
forty nine ers. Well, she's tallis the Colts now biance?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
What city do you think? To me? That's an easy one,
Houston right now.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
It's also Mike Piazza's birthday, by the way, is a
shocker to me. I mean, it makes sense, but it's like, damn,
he's fifty seven. He looks great too. I interviewed him, like,
I don't know, a year and a half, two years ago,
looks fantastic. I met the whole Piazza family, the Piazza brothers.
You know how long ago that's been, hello, five plus
years since I met him.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, how do you know?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I know for a fact because you and I were
supposed to host an event together. But what does that
have to do with the price of banas I was
giving him a compliment, O, you and I were supposed
to host an event together.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I couldn't go because my son was being born. And
You're like, bro, you missed out him with Piazza. I'm
having lunch, and I was like, I was jealous.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Hey, well he looked great. Yeah, like his family owns
like car company. I guess car dealship too.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
When I met him.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, his family comes from a long line of car
dealers and with the whole family. But Mike Piazza, Gracious, dude,
when you think of Piazza, you may think of two cities.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Is he a New York guy or an LA guy?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
He had some giant moments with the Mets after nine
to eleven, but he.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Was possibly offensively better as a doctor.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah, he was a favorite here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
So based on Beyonce's birthday and Piazza's birthday, Beyonce represents Houston,
Piazza represents I mean, we could fight over LA or
New York, but he's synonymous with both. When you think
back to your childhood, what athletes represent what city in
your mind? Or celebrities doesn't have to be athletes, Like
I'll give you the obvious example. Rich I think you
(40:51):
and I will both agree when you think of Kansas
City back in the day. It might be different now,
but I think George Brett, he was part of the
welcoming committee when we were there for the first time.
You know, there's certain athletes, certain faces, certain celebrities that
you just associate with that city period.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
So we open it up to you.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
George Brett is a great example because you're right at
the minute. I think if you say Kansas City, yeah,
people are gonna think, oh, Mahomes and Kelsey and barbecue,
and this had a familiar has changed. My first thought
is Sam's love for Paul Rudd and all right, probably
George Brett. Yeah, so again it's gonna be different generationally,
but for the most part, like George Brett is in
(41:32):
our wheelhouse of growing up. That's why I think of
as a kid, who do you associate with a particular
city like they are the king of that city? Eight seven,
seven ninety nine On Fox, we go to you, and
we'll go over some Week one matchups, NFL is happening,
and we'll get to all that next.

we be rocking out. Oh right, dude, So much to
get to at the NFL. But I just want to
point out to that. I'm chuckling because I just signed
up for yet another thing. If you got kids, you know,
you sign up for things because you know it'll make
(01:21):
your kids happy and laugh, and then you realize, like,
what am I doing? My calendar is filled with ridiculousness?
Tomorrow with Rob dear Deck. Yeah, tomorrow, that's MTV's calendar NonStop.

for like the assembly, and that's ridiculous in itself, doing
the mascot dances and everything. So I'll be doing that tomorrow.
And I just signed up this weekend my daughter's softball starts.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Do you ever take a break or no? I don't
like doing that. Were you scared of your own thoughts
or no?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I guess my kids will be old one day and
I'll look back and say I maximized it. I think
you do it for your own attention. I think you
just want to be the mascot. I just really believe that.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'll send you guys the video when I do. I'm
not trying to be fine, but are you psycho analyzing?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
No? I just love it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I mean, rich was born with no chill, so she
goes see the Wizard and get some.

I'm really pumped to see the Astros whoop your Yankees today.
Hopefully I can get close in our bed. But of
course all eyes in the NFL. But tomorrow all eyes
on me is the mascot.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And then this.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Weekend before we get into NFL football, I've signed. It
wasn't about your kids all eyes on me. It was
like me, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Try to fool me.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I know, but get this. You may want to show
up to this for charity. On Sunday morning before the
NFL kicks off, there's a little softball function for my
daughter's team. Can I signed up to be in the
dump tank once again? Did you really do it for
your kids or do you just want to be the clown?
Want to come Dunkley five bucks? Riche's still a good cause,
(03:10):
following in his family's footsteps. Ye long line of bozos.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Alright, well there you go.

building core memories for sure. And if you like the attention,
hey so be. It's a win for everybody. Covino and
Rich one foot in Dad Life, one foot up your

from La Always a pleasure to be here, but especially
on a holiday like today.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Football, baseball, fencing, you name it, we do it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But you know what, it is a holiday, and I
do want to call you out or just not even
call you out question you you can call me out
and be like, well, who's your team? Cavino, the La Aztecs.
I'm wearing an la As Techs shirt today. They're in
nineteen seventy four LA Soccer team, Sam Sam Company in
my shirt.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I like the colors.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, it's pretty cool, right, looks cool, I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Danny g questioned, Yo, Rich, how come you're not wearing
your forty Niner shirt today? It's a holiday, And that
is an interesting question. You wait all year NFL begins
and you're not wearing your forty nine Ers gear. Is
it a game day thing or is it like, hey,
it's the kickoff today, football starts. Well, if I wore
the Niners gear today, I feel like that would be Yeah,
(04:58):
but you don't have one Niner shirt. No, but I
feel like wearing a Niner shirt today would be like
that guy that goes to the Dodgers Padres game wearing
a Cub shirt. Today?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Is the Eagles and Cowboys? No, No, Sunday's game. No,
rewind to a year ago and the year before that. Yeah,
the Thursday night opener, we all had our NFL gear
on for the holiday. You had a Niner shirt on
last year, exactly a year ago.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm pretty sure you did. And exactly a year ago
we went to Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
We watched another tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
My daughter locked herself out of the house, so I
had to leave in a hurry.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, it feels like yesterday you had a forty nine
er shirt on. So what's the rule here? Should everybody
be representing it? I don't know about that. No, not today,
your team players.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Let's let's get into this.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No more dilly dellly NFL is here tonight, lazy days
a row at a lot of points, A lot of points,
my friends, eight and a half. I I feel like
this is a ye intruders, beware, goony style, stay away.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Eight and a half is such a tricky number, you
know me. I love gambling and wagering as much as anyone.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's it's too many points for me to feel like, oh, yeah,
eight and a half. The Eagles will win by double digits,
because you could easily see that. But then would you
be shocked? Divisional Game opening night? If the Cowboys kept
it closer like just it wouldn't be shocking. This is
always surprises in the National Football League. So to me,
(06:27):
I look at the NFL and say, all right, it's
the Eagles Cowboys Division. Eight and a half is too much.
But then if you bet the Cowboys to cover the
eight and a half and then the Eagles whooped their ass,
you'd be like, oh, they didn't. They let Michael Parsons
go this. This team's in disarray.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Why would I do that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I have a thought on this.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I would feel stupid if I lost either way on
this bet. It's a simple thought. I like your thought
of there's always that surprise factor, right, yeah, and they
keep it close and they're better than we thought. But
I also like the thought of the Eagles are in
a different mindset, different place.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
This year.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I saw someone ask Jalen Hurts a question and it
was a goofy question, but at the same time a
good question. And what I mean by that is this
guy says, hey, Jalen, He's like, what's up. He goes,
do you feel more confident this year because you're Super
Bowl champions?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And he's like.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He's like, when you get a promotion, don't you feel
more confident? And the guy's like, ah, well, I haven't
got one in a long time. He goes, well, you know,
we played a win, and you know I've proven that
I could do it. And now that we all sort
of know that we faced that reality, we know what
it takes.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, we feel hell a lot more confident.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, you just said, gives me no more answers because
now Michae, well maybe they're going over confident.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Maybe they don't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Damn buyer, do you get a feel on this game
at all or no?
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Well, I felt better on the ego side of things
about a month ago, and then now the line moving
that way makes me think maybe it could go the
other way. I was just going to give you guys,
just a couple of numbers. We've been doing the NFL
kickoff game, if you will, since two thousand and two.
There have only been six six instances where the road
team has won that game. However, two out of those
(08:08):
six have come within the last three years. And last
year you just mentioned the Ravens Chiefs game. Remember Isaiah
Likelyly's big toe was out of bounds. Maybe a tight Yes,
it could have been a tie game. Maybe the Ravens
go for too and win it. The point being is
the road teams have had success as of late in
this matchup, even though historically the defending champion or the
(08:31):
home team in most cases because it hasn't always been
that one year when the Packers and Bears started the
season because of the NFL's one hundredth was a year,
but the home team has usually had the edge in
this game.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And Dan Bayer, when you think about where teams are
in December going into the playoffs in January, we always
talk about how those teams are so different than the
team you remember back in the early September. So I've
put so little stock into thinking these are the teams
we're going to see in months from now. So to me,
I want to be shocked if the Eagles won but
(09:03):
by a touchdown by four, and then all of a sudden, you're.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Like, that's up to eight and a halfs a lot.
But then again, if you told me it was twenty
eight to ten.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Who's stopping him? Their defense has no identity, They're like,
who are we? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Got a solid, stellar, proven offense already? I think I
think they get stopped. So you like Eagles, I think
Dallas might be ass and we'll discuss that further. What
are your thoughts might be ass Now there's another tradition.
I feel like Dan Byer could give us the best
scoop on it. I don't know what it's called. The
six picks, the six studio picks on the laminated sheet.
(09:38):
Is there a cool name for the Fox Sports Radio
tradition that we all take.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Part in that I started that way back when?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's right? Oh, the dB Doozy I called the dB Doozy.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Is there a name for this?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
No, it's just as simple. The twenty twenty five Fox
Sports Radio NFL preseason picks.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
We Etesies, DB's Doozy.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Dv's Doozy Auntie laminated piece of paper.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
It looks so pretty at first, and then people started
scratching out and repicking things.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I didn't like that.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
I think we've done this for about fifteen years. Number one,
The translucent cover came in because of too many coffee
and food spills that happen unfortunately in a radio studio.
We've also had to take precautions with empty boxes because people.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Change their picks in week eight.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
That will look differently once it is officially sealed, but
we give them up until Sunday at least week one
to make their predictions in the studio because.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
We haven't officially filled it out yetet, but we will
make our pick. So let me describe this right now.
DB's Doozy started it. dB, he started fifteen years ago,
as you heard. So we're honored to be part of
the tradition for the past what four or five years now,
Rich And it's a piece of paper that's taped down
on the console and the other studio right there, right
where Danny g and samar and everybody here at Fox
(10:59):
Sports picks their AFC champ, their NFC champ, the Super
Bowl champ out on a limb, Like what's You're out
on a limb, take the worst team in the NFL
and your MVP. So that's how this goes down. And
we're gonna do it live here on the show because
that's the show's tradition, right dang.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yeah, we've been doing this for a few years now
on the kickoff of NFL's regular season.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, nervous because once Dan Byer laminates that paper, it's
all over.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh yeah, it's official. Left, it's like a tattoo. Choose wise,
I know, I really am a little nervous about it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So we'll go down the room, go around the room,
category by category, and no, no, god, I have started
je of that nonsense.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
No, it's one person at a time, rich Yes, oh yeah, yeah,
one person out of time. So Covino, we're gonna start
with you.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know if I'm prisoner of the moment or
hard knocks really sold me, or I believe in Josh Allen,
who I have in our gear teen league Dan Byers league.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But they've got so much to play for.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Josh Allen has that newlywed sort of aura and confidence
about him. He has more to play for, and it's
their last season in the old stadium. Bills is my pick,
Buffalo Bills. Man, I just think it's their year. They've
come too close. It's their year this year, all right.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
All right now, NFC champion, Covino.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
NFC champ. It's easy, easy, breezy, beautiful. I already said it.
They're playing with a different confidence this year. They've proven
they could do it, and I don't think they're any
less oft than they were last year. Like I said,
I think the confidence in the vibe they're bringing this
(12:54):
year makes them better. So Eagles is your NFC champ Oh,
look at you Bill's Eagles. Some times the obvious choice
is the is the right.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Choice, and then you're Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So I really thought about this, and as confident as
the Eagles are, sometimes, like you said, Rich, sometimes you
can be overly confident. I don't subscribe to that all
the time, but I do believe in this case, the
foot's not on the gas as much as it would
be last year, and I feel like the Bills have
(13:27):
more to play for. I feel like they got what
it takes to beat the Eagles super Bowl champion, the Bills,
I know, I feel like, oh, I feel I'm trying
to sound convincing, but at the same time, I'm like, wait,
am I sure?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Am I just really buying into hard knocks?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Because you're not scratching out anything on this sheet, all
right out on a limb. Now you're surprised, all.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Right, You guys can help me phrase this, okay, because
it's more of a thought. I feel like Russell Wilson's
going to have a good season. But do I just
simplify and say that Giants have a winning record this year?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Would that be fair enough? Like it's not even necessarily Wilson.
I feel like Wilson in dark, like they bind. I
feel like they have a good energy about them. I
feel like they're playing with a lot of chemistry. So
I'll just say the Giants have a winning season, is
that right?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Giants, to be honest with you, team that picked fourth
last year in the draft.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Right, right?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And we did some schedule watching and it seems unlikely.
But that's the add on the limb portion of it, right.
It's unlikely, but I'm add on a limb, and it's
a part of me that believes it your worst team
in the rounds. I think everything about him is doo doo,
including the color of the uniform.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, you don't like the old duds?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Right, And m VP, so there is a silver lining
and a shining light. Even though I picked the Eagles
to lose the Super Bowl. MVP is Saquon Barkley, so
you have it. Those are my picks, all.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Right, Rich Davis.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I don't want to say that I changed why I
picks it all because of Cavino, but I had a
couple of things where I was a similar at a
similar thought. So I'm gonna mix it up a little
bit because I do love Buffalo in the AFC, but
it's so to me, it's so even between two teams,
so I'll go opposite. I think the Ravens. I think
Lamar Jackson, that team is stacked. They were an end
zone drop away from sort of moving along last year.
(15:19):
I think the Ravens and Bills of the elite. But
I'm gonna go Ravens AFC. Lamar if he's gonna win
one of he's twenty eight. I feel like he's been
in the league twenty five years. He's only twenty eight.
He's in his prime. Lamar Jackson AFC. You got the
Ravens Now NFC. You might think I'm gonna be a
homer and say forty nine ers. Forty nine ers are
(15:42):
gonna lose the NFC Championship game. Oh to the Lions. Wow,
I think we got the Lions. I hate to say it.
I think the forty nine ers are gonna over deliver.
People be like, Wow, Purty and Katal and McCaffrey, they're
the real deal. They're healthy, they stay healthy. But I
think the Lions, this is the year they get over
the hump and now you got the Lions. Ravens in
the Super Bowl, and I hate to crush the feelings
(16:04):
and hearts of all the Lions fans out there because
it would be so beautiful to see them whin.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I just think this is Lamar's year. I think the
Ravens are Super Bowl champions. Lock it in.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I mean it sounds fun.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I do again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm I'm not giving you alternate answers just to cover
my base, but I love Cavino's Giants answer. I was
even gonna go on a lemon say that they make
the postseason, but my other one is equally crazy. So
I think this is the year when you look through
the divisions and you look through what could go right
and what could go wrong. A couple things go wrong,
(16:40):
and I think the Chiefs missed the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Whoa, I.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Think they're ten and seven and somehow miss on a tiebreaker.
It's gonna be one of those like remember the year
the Patriots won ten games, but they lost a tiebreaker
and they didn't make the playoffs. I think this is
one of those. Like I hate to say it because
I love them, but I think they're good guys. But
I think there's a couple of key injuries or something
happens a couple of balls that don't bounce their way.
So you're saying that windows, I think the Windows. I
(17:07):
think it's just they go ten and seven or nine
and eight. They're a winning team, but they somehow are
on the outside looking, and so Chiefs missed.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Finally, do you have the Chargers tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I have the Charge.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
This is one of those things like the Chargers may
win a close game, right, you don't know?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Worst team? Yep? Who you got at the bottom?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I gotta go Commino Browns. I was gonna say Saints,
but brown Skill Browns. But they're terrible. They're gonna be bad,
all right.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
In your MVP.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I think just based on offensive numbers alone, they'll make
the postseason. Joe Burrow, I think he's gonna put up
circus numbers. So Joe Burrow's my MVP. Yeah that's fun.
That's good.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, there we go, lock me in all those Yeah,
that's great. You got Danny g.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
All right, I'll go really quick here and then we'll
go to buyer AFC Champ. I'm gonna go Bills. I've
been writing that in for two three seasons in a row. Now,
I think that's gonna happen finally, NFC champ. You know,
I was high on the Packers before for the whole
Michael Parsons deal. Jordan Love I think is going to
take another step forward, you know what. Josh Jacobs especially,
I know what he can do. Being from the Raiders.
(18:08):
I loved how they drafted Matthew Golden.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Golden, a lot of people think is gonna be like legit.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Yeah, I think he's gonna have a great season. I'm
gonna go the Packers as the NFC chap So nice
super Bowl there between the Bills and the Packers, But
a lot of the same reasons as you mentioned Covino
the last season in their old stadium, watching hard Knocks,
I feel like it's density that they win.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Density, the long suffering there r and.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
That and that too, Like eventually they have to win
for those nineties teams that didn't like I feel like
it's destined eventually happened.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah, out on a limb. This is where I'll give
my one homer pick. Dante Thornton Junior, first receiver since
Megatron to be at least six to four or above
and run a four to three. He's turned so many
heads in camp in the preseason. I'm saying that that
rookie for the Raiders was he fourth fifth round pick.
He's going to have over one thousand receiving yards and
(19:05):
be one of the new star receivers. Be talking about him, Yes, okay,
worst team. I also wrote down Browns MVP Josh Allen.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Nice I was just thinking about it.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, he's gonna light it up all season long. Newly
married swag that you've I mean, he already had swag,
but he's gonna be swaging.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We're motivating new bride, new fiance or babies, because if
you think babies, then McCaffrey and Purty are both new dads.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
But you know, you know, it's a great indicator.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Rich Like, let's say you got a chance to talk
to everybody at Fox Sports and everyone just praised the
Rich Davis, like he makes our job so much easier.
He's the greatest guy. He's fantastic everyb he does. But
when you get that sort of praise from your peers
and people you work with, it says a lot. And
when they talk about Josh Allen in Buffalo, Man, it's
(19:53):
like everybody loves them. Tell you, and even as the players.
They look at him like, Yo, that's our guy. You'm
a superhero. You might be wearing your Josh Allen hard
knocks Bill's blinders right now. We don't know, because I'll
tell you this, I would want them to win. I
picked the Ravens and I stick by it. But if
you ask me who I want to win, I love Buffalo.
I would love to see but I just think the
(20:14):
Ravens are if they keep it together, and and I
just think they're getting hard to beat. One of the
players on the Bills there was a scene, Danny, do
you remember this where like somehow they got Josh Allen
sweat on them. Yeah, and it was one of his player,
one of his receivers or something, right, a young like
younger player. And he's like, yo, man, I just hope
some of that greatness rubs off on me.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
She's like, they think the drinking, drinking, it's nice.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They're thinking that, like there's a lot to it.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Many just like this aura around.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They love this dude, and it's bound to happen.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
So we'll see all right now it is Dan Byer's turn. Damn.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
I love your guys pick so far, And if you
had asked me this in June, I would have had
a different answer. In fact, if you had to ask
me this two weeks ago, I would have had a
different answer.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
A lot of your stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
But in the AFC, for as much as I want
to believe in the bills fantastic storyline, the hard Knocks,
the final season of high Mark Stadium, things don't end
well for Buffalo and they're going to end in the
AFC Championship Game when the Denver Broncos come to town
and upset the Buffalo Bills. Denver Broncos won Super Bowl
(21:23):
fifty in Santa Clara. They'll be back there representing the
AFC in Super Bowl sixty.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
That's a good pick. That's a fun one.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
And in the NFC, I'll tell you what, there's a
lot of teams that we think we could expect great
things from. But one team that we aren't talking about
was actually talked about by Rich Davis just a little
bit ago. The only thing we say about the Lions
is they lost both of their coordinators. We're talking about Philadelphia,
We're talking about Washington, We're talking about Green Bay, we're
talking about Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
We're talking about the Rams. Good or bad.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
All of these teams, but we're not talking about Detroit,
and I think that helps them. I like the Lions
as well. The Lions are my representative the NFC. And
then that Broncos Lions matchup much like the Bills. Things
don't end well for the Lions. The Denver Broncos will
be your Super Bowl sixty champions.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, and by the way, does that not elevate the
profile of Sean Payton if that's the case?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Right?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I love what they have up front. They send Nick
Benito to his extension today. I love offensively their offensive line.
I think it's a real team concept. So that's why
I'm buying into Denver.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, let me make this one point. I can't
argue Dan Bayer with It doesn't end well for the
Bills and the Lions, right, It seems that way, But
you don't think that ever changes in the Star, right
seeb Your Bronco pick sort of leans into the possibility
of my out on a limb, which was Chiefs maybe
on the outside look at him, what is your hut
(22:48):
on a limb?
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Out on a limb was going to come from the
AFC West, But it's more towards Covino's world. While he
loves the Giants, not everything is going to go right
for the Commander's Commanders missed the playoffs this year. That's
my out on a limb worst team Saints. Kellen Moore's
contract shows that this year isn't worth what it is,
(23:10):
So you're not going to give him a three or
four year deal. I think you got a five year deal.
Point is is this is kind of a throwaway here
for the Saints. I think they're the worst team in
the league. And I've said it. I'm just gonna pick
Joe Burrow every year until he wins an MVP, So
I'm doing it again this year. Do it, Joe Burrow
my MV that's a cool pick.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh all right, well we'll spot and Sam, you got

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Are you knowing.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Is your favorite Monday night football combo? Definitely gotta be
al Franken Dan, I mean, that's the one we grew
up with. Is that is that bring back the the
nostalgia to the childhood.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's got to right, that's the one I think of.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
All right, let's let's keep this rolling.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Our NFL predictions, the dB Doozy, the damn buyer sheet
that's in the studio every year.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I was Samuel, you are up, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
This is where you pick your AFC NFC Super Bowl
out on a limb worst team and MVP.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
If you're going back once you say it's official.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Bro, could you believe VJ. Husky?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
No? I can't.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Oh, oh, there's more than that. You can.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
He wrote on the sheet VJ. Husky.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But then he insists he put a little arrow and
wrote the big Vanilla Poppy on.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
A separate line or the same No, and making sure
we know it was him, just so you know.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, let's go.
Speaker 9 (27:05):
I would say, now that we've confirmed that representing the NFC,
in my prediction will be the La Rams. What the
La Rams representing the AFC will be the Baltimore Ravens.
Should I give my super Bowl pick at the end?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yes, sure about that?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
So it's gonna be Rams versus the Ravens in the
Super Bowl. But my worst team's gonna be the Browns.
My out on Olympic is gonna be the Pats go
nine and eight with Mike Rabel there's first?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Is that really out on a limbo?
Speaker 10 (27:35):
Sam?
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I mean, I don't know if much as expected of
the Patriots. I'm just I don't know. And I'm not
saying they make the playoffs or not, just saying they
go nine to eight. Sam B Ballsley say the Patriots
will win the again to the playoffs. New come on
my MVP C J. Stroud of the Texans.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Who Now, that's that's out on a limb. I like
that's a good one.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
I like that, okay, And then my super Bowl champion
will be the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford's bad back
and all the Rams win it, ram it all day,
ramm it all day.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Rams.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Huh, I'd rather here would pick me huskey trucks.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Spot.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
What do you got by the way, the Rams, Sam,
they are in my mind, uh, the one of the
top few, like I don't know teams. In fact, I
mean Jim Bayer and I were having the conversation during
the break that like DeVante Adams to me is one
of the top few confusing players, like if he had
twelve hundred yards or two hundred yards, I want to
(28:34):
be shocked either way.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
There's a lot of questions in LA, but we questioned
them last year without Aaron Donald, and look at how
good they were.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
They ended up winning the division.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Quick point over underwin total for the Patriots eight and
a half.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
So his out on a limb is terribly it's just
north of so really eight and a half wins was expected.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So you really just picked the over Sam. Congratulations, All right, Spot,
you're up. Oh there was much more bold print than that.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Uh, mine is gonna be short and sweet with the
help of a chat ept. Uh So for the a FC,
it actually rich aligns with you. We have the Baltimore
Ravens as the front runner for the AFC and you
went to Maryland for college. I did you know what
I always I did always like the Ravens turtle. Yeah,
the little Turpin turtle for the NFC Turtles. We're gonna
(29:21):
go with the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
And obviously of the two going to the Super Bowl. Uh,
the winner will be the Baltimore Ravens. As a result,
mister Lamar Jackson will be the n VP.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
That's these are good picks.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
These are good picks. Uh. Worst record, Rich you said? Uh?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Would you say the Browns?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm gonna go with the Saints as the worst record,
which I know where you're back up and the out
on a limb. Travis Kelsey will take the stage at
Super at the Super Bowl this year alongside his fiancee
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Will be the halftime show. He'll be there, but he'll
be there but not playing.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
He will be on stage doing some sort of goofy
antics wow, alongside fiance Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I like that. There you go.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That is a good one, all right, So now your thoughts,
your thoughts. Fox Sports Radio Nation hit us up at
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You know, first, I was gonna.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Say, as we go to Dan Buyer, I would love
to hear the feedback from you guys. I want to
hear your out on a limbs. I feel like that's
my favorite category. You know, it could be really risky,
like Sam and pick half a game over Vegas's prediction,
but uh, let's go to dB what you got.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
The crazy thing is is things have been so bad
in New England that it did appear on the surface
that it would be so surface level Sam over. Yeah,
so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna stick up for
Sam in that part. There are a lot of out
of limbs that I wanted to choose for things that
are happening, and none of which will probably come to fruition.
But it'll be fun to hear what everybody thinks he'd be.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Can I ask you a question, yes, do you think
choosing a running back as MVP would be out on
a limb?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I feel like we pray so much.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I know it's rare, but we've moved, you know that
importance of a runn I'm.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Gonna let Rich finish myself.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
If Saquan didn't win last year, running back will never win.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Ever, that's why I'm saying this year because I know
I understand quarterback is.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Going to get that that nod.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
But we've put so much emphasis on the importance of
running back again that maybe this year maybe.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
No.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
If Saquon doesn't win it, they figure to work around.
Give him Offensive Player of the Year. Give the quarterback
the MVP you have. I think you have a better
chance of a defensive player winning MVP than you would
a running back just because of the quarterback. Cowboys and
Eagles Tonight eight twenty Eastern Times kicks off the NFL season.
Some other news from the NFL, Amari Cooper's calling it quits.
(31:39):
The veteran wide receiver called Pete Carroll this morning and said, yeah,
I'm not going to play any more, Coach. He signed
with the Raiders last week, the team that drafted him
in the first round a decade ago. The Broncos and
edge rusher Nick Benito agreed to a four year extension
worth one hundred and six million dollars. Seahawks gave right
tackle Abe Lewis a Abe Lucas a three year extension.
Jets confirmed that Elijah Vera Tucker's can miss the season.
(32:01):

Allen's number seventeen Jersey in their home finale on November
twenty second against Nevada Brewers and Phillies. Right now, scoreless,
playing in the top of the sixth in Milwaukee.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Back to you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Guys, Thank you, Dan Byer. Is there any way we
could send Devin Williams back to the Brewers?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Is that possible? Like somehow oh things I love? I
loved him last night.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, I was watching that was that game was four
to four and I'm like, come on, Devin Williams, show
me the guy you are.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
And Astros win.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Guy's a nightmare just to it seems like so long ago,
but you know it was twenty twenty three when a
Mari Cooper had twelve hundred yards like sometimes in the
NFL Grand opening, grand closing, meaning something can go wrong
real quick and you're done like that. So hey, good
luck to Marik Cooper. All right, coming up, we're gonna
go old school.

for the tyrack Player of the day. Don't look now,
but the Giants have won ten of their last eleven.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Oh and our.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Four games behind the Mets for the NL Wildcard Round.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I know.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
Two two is swaying, there's a high drive, it's way back.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
It is goold.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Then a Chapman does it again.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Three run blast here in.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
This top of the sixth inning, and the Giants have
opened up a nine to five lead.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Can I tell you that my Met fan friends are
so foolish that.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
They're like, the Mets aren't safe.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm like, I get four games isn't a ton But
you know the Giants, who everyone, they won nine of ten.
I'm relying heavily on Danny g and all the Dodgers.
They played the Dodgers seven more times. So that alone
makes me feel like, all right, I feel okay if
the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Except the Dodgers are struggling right now.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, the Dodgers, I think, have beaten the Giants four
out of six this year, so hopefully they'll just take
care of the giants. But the giants are hot Bay Area.
I feel you. You're looking good now. That is courtesy
by the way of KMBR Giants Radio network. That's our

Speaker 2 (36:39):
All right, you want to uh, you want to kick
it to James and Virginia. He has a good out
on a limb. We were talking about our big picks
and then we'll go old school in a few what's up, James?
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Oh, thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. Has a Thursday,
Happy NFL season?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Hell yeah, James, And I know you're a command this guy.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
You should have sew Covino so confident he saw a
prop bet on the screen and it was say Quan
tonight ninety four and a half yards, and Cavino's like, oh,
but definitely, like he's so confident, I think, so keep
that in mind.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
What's up, man?
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Oh man? So I'm definitely taking the Chiefs and the
Super Bowl man until someone knocks them off and ISKC
and the AFC all the way, gotta go with Commanders.
For the first time since I was a kid, I
can legitimately say they have a chance to go to
a Super Bowl this year. I'm gonna take Jadon Daniels
as my MVP. I do believe that Joe Burrow definitely
(37:33):
have a chance to win the MVT. My two out
on the limbs are I think the Cincinnati Bengals make
the AFC Championship this year. Offensive firepower is immense, but
I feel like they just got to get their defense straight.
I think my other al on the limb is also
my worst team. I think the Dallas Cowboys are going
to be the worst team in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
You know, I wonder if the Cowboys asked. I wonder
if they are going to be asked or now that's
that's the question.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Really, Hey, thanks for the call, and that's the beauty
of today, right all of these things are a possibility.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
It's a clean slate.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Enjoy while you can and more of your feedback at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Now we do this every Thursday. Look at the time.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
If there's a certain ya, what we gonna do is
go back.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Back into time.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School won fifty hits.
That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, we get you involved together, like you said eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio. But hey, give us a call. We
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Now we're celebrating some birthdays today, Rich, you love giving
birthday shout outs on Pop two K it's your girl
Beonce's birthday. She's forty four, queen me. Reggie Jackson style,
who do you think of forty four?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Forty four? Definitely, Rich and Well, forty four. I went
to Syracuse. That's the number given to all the greats,
so I would say forty four. I think of Syracuse,
I think of Reggie, and we'll see if they got
forty four. That's why I think Tom Rathman on the
forty nine ers. Well, she's tallis the Colts now biance?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
What city do you think? To me? That's an easy one,
Houston right now.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
It's also Mike Piazza's birthday, by the way, is a
shocker to me. I mean, it makes sense, but it's like, damn,
he's fifty seven. He looks great too. I interviewed him, like,
I don't know, a year and a half, two years ago,
looks fantastic. I met the whole Piazza family, the Piazza brothers.
You know how long ago that's been, hello, five plus
years since I met him.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, how do you know?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I know for a fact because you and I were
supposed to host an event together. But what does that
have to do with the price of banas I was
giving him a compliment, O, you and I were supposed
to host an event together.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I couldn't go because my son was being born. And
You're like, bro, you missed out him with Piazza. I'm
having lunch, and I was like, I was jealous.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Hey, well he looked great. Yeah, like his family owns
like car company. I guess car dealship too.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
When I met him.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, his family comes from a long line of car
dealers and with the whole family. But Mike Piazza, Gracious, dude,
when you think of Piazza, you may think of two cities.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Is he a New York guy or an LA guy?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
He had some giant moments with the Mets after nine
to eleven, but he.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Was possibly offensively better as a doctor.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah, he was a favorite here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
So based on Beyonce's birthday and Piazza's birthday, Beyonce represents Houston,
Piazza represents I mean, we could fight over LA or
New York, but he's synonymous with both. When you think
back to your childhood, what athletes represent what city in
your mind? Or celebrities doesn't have to be athletes, Like
I'll give you the obvious example. Rich I think you
(40:51):
and I will both agree when you think of Kansas
City back in the day. It might be different now,
but I think George Brett, he was part of the
welcoming committee when we were there for the first time.
You know, there's certain athletes, certain faces, certain celebrities that
you just associate with that city period.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
So we open it up to you.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
George Brett is a great example because you're right at
the minute. I think if you say Kansas City, yeah,
people are gonna think, oh, Mahomes and Kelsey and barbecue,
and this had a familiar has changed. My first thought
is Sam's love for Paul Rudd and all right, probably
George Brett. Yeah, so again it's gonna be different generationally,
but for the most part, like George Brett is in
(41:32):
our wheelhouse of growing up. That's why I think of
as a kid, who do you associate with a particular
city like they are the king of that city? Eight seven,
seven ninety nine On Fox, we go to you, and
we'll go over some Week one matchups, NFL is happening,
and we'll get to all that next.
