Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, Happy Monday to you. You made it through the
fourth of July weekend. Welcome, Congratulations Monday. No Monday Blues today,
Dan absolutely not no Monday Blues whatsoever. She is Monty Belanos,
I'm Dan Byert, No Covino and Rich because the guys
were doing the Dan Patrick Show earlier today. So that's

(00:39):
why we are in their place. Isaac lowin gron Is
at the news desk where I usually am. Hello, Isaac,
Great to see.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
You, Great to see you, and you too, Monty Hey.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Baba Bear, Ryan Smith our technical producer, Hello, and Jason
Stewart's our executive producer.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Every Monday we come man on a Monday. It is
Fox Orts Radio a Monday where the Houston Astros got
out the brooms and sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Wait this, I didn't sign up for this?

Speaker 6 (01:09):
You did sign up for this sign, this conversation, inc.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
The Astros go to Dodgers Stadium, win not one, not two,
but three games in a row, leave LA with the
perfect Ledger. But that's not what it's all about. Sure,
there's all Star games to talk about, and we will,
and we'll talk about what's happening in the NBA, A
trade today that Monzi can't wait to talk about. But

(01:34):
the Astros go and sweep the Dodgers. But it had
nothing to do with the win on Friday, the win
on Saturday, or the win on Sunday. The one on
Friday was pretty ridiculous eighteen to one.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Hey, I think that was the final score.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
But throughout the weekend this was an opportunity, one that
our own Jason Stewart even got to take in himself
on Sunday. Because it's the ongoing rivalry. That isn't a rivalry.
This isn't wondering if the Padres are the Dodgers' rival,
This isn't are the Vikings the Packers rival that's this

(02:08):
is none of that. This is the Dodgers hate the Astros,
and from now on, from from twenty seventeen until now on,
they will always hate the Houston Astros. That's what this
weekend was about, Monci.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yes, it was about that because do you remember what
happened in twenty seventeen, Dan, Do.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
We need Astros world champs?

Speaker 5 (02:29):
So rude?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
So rude?

Speaker 6 (02:31):
The cheating Astros. Yes, they cheated against the Yankees, cheated
on the.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Way to beating the Dodgers and winning the World Series.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
And cheaters never gonna forget, never always gonna be cheaters,
Cheaters once cheaters forever. I have heard that when it
comes to.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Men and women, ones a cheat always achieved exactly. You
believe in that. I, you know, I completely do.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
It's hard to not I.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
I just want to believe people can change, believe it,
but they can't.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I complete that once a cheater, always a cheater. Now,
at some point it's gonna stop, But once a cheater,
are always a cheater. And I feel that that thought process,
not that the Astros are gonna cheat again, but it's
apropos in this situation because the Astros are the Astros,
and the Dodgers will always think that the Astros are cheaters.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
From what you laid out, absolutely absolutely, it's hard to
pretend like that's not a sore subject that.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Whenever it comes up, I'm like, ugh, especially because I
think with Kershaw. I do think the.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
Kershaw slander derives a lot from twenty seventeen, Like if
we would have won the Kershaw playoff, slander maybe would
not be what it is today. And he had a
great game won in twenty seventeen against the Astros, but
he gets such slander, and I throw it back to
if that wouldn't have happened, Kershaw wouldn't be hated as much,
or would not that he is loved. But you know
what I'm talking about. Everyone always brings up playoff Kershaw.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Nothing has been changed. The Astros are still World Series champions.
It was not vacated. Jason Stewart was there on if
you missed any of Jason Stewart at Auger Stadium, I
believe we have some of that as well.

Speaker 7 (04:05):
Is that what twenty seven stands for the number of
pitches you saw coming to the seven twenty seventeen postseason? Huh?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Is that what twenty seventh stands for?

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Answer me?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Are you still waiting on that answer? Jason Stewart? Yeah,
he never answered me. That's odd.

Speaker 8 (04:24):
I will say this, he did ground out or fly
out and that one at bat, So I'm guessing I
rattled him for one at bat. Now the ninth inning,
when he took a pitch a fastball over the leftfield fence,
I guess he wasn't rattled anymore.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, No, he tends to will not get rattled.

Speaker 9 (04:42):
Will you always hate the Astros? I will, And I
don't even know if it's the Astro's fault. And I'll
blame Rob Manfred. Remember if you go back eight years,
Rob Manfred gave players complete immunity for telling the story,
so one player has ever suffered any punishment for it.

(05:03):
And then when Altuve himself had a chance to be
contrite and explain what he did, and I won't blame
him for this English second language, he didn't come off
as either contrite or apologetic. So it just kind of
left the Dodgers with a bad taste in their mouth.
Nobody was punished, the title was not cleared, and Altuve

(05:23):
came off as kind of this unapo apologized jerk. So
I think I blame Manfred first and foremost, and then
I blame the Astros.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
See that it's funny you say that because I am
actually in a similar spot with my fandom with the Seahawks.
The Seahawks have rivals. They had rivals in the AFC
West Broncos Raiders, but they moved to the NFC West,
and really it's the Niners and Rams that's their their
rivals right now. But I will never, as a lifelong

(05:55):
Seahawks fan ever cheer for the Pittsburgh Steelers again. And
it's not their fault technically that they got all the
calls in Super Bowl forty, but it kind of is
because they were the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was eighty five
percent Steeler fans at Ford Field for Super Bowl forty.
It's everything that comes with the Pittsburgh Steelers. And while

(06:17):
the officiating crew was awful and even admitted as much
after the Super Bowl, I will never get over that
game and never get over even when the Seahawks won
Super Bowl forty eight. It wasn't a oh, that monkey's
off the back from super Bowl forty like it's still there.
They could have had two Super Bowl championships, but I

(06:38):
will never cheer for the Pittsburgh Steelers for that reason.
And while you want to blame Rob Manfred, I could
blame Bill Levy, the official in that game and all
of the referee or the other officials in that contest.
But it's easier to take it out on the Pittsburgh Steelers, absolutely,
and they were less complicit than the Houston Astros were.

(06:58):
And it's been now going on twenty years that that
game was played, So I get it, and I feel
that there's there's rivals for every team in sports, but
there are unintended rivals that I think make things more interesting.
So Astros Dodgers this weekend super interesting because of that
unintended rivalry.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
I didn't agree with you more and I hear what
you're saying, Jason, but I'm not gonna lie. I think
my hatred will stay for the Astros even once Hoseale
Tuba leaves.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
But you're right, hoseel.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Tub right now, enemy number one will be until the
end of time. But it will be the Astros for
as long I don't even know when.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
And it does partially have to do with the fact
that nothing was done. That's super super annoying. Nothing was
done about.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
That, and not even Dodger vans and Yege fans should
be mad and everybody else who they cheated along.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
The way with.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
But like baseball fans should be mad that Manfred did
nothing about it.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Nothing. They should be, but they're not. That's your point.
It's only us and so then as a Dodger fan,
and I don't want to put words in your mouth,
but I would believe like one of the comforting things
about being a Seahawk fan is with that game, everybody
also thinks that that they got screwed, except for the Steelers.
But to your case, and if you working with the

(08:15):
Dodgers and Jason being a fan, I'll call you a
fan as well. Yeah, you being a fan of the Dodgers,
is nobody else has your back anymore because they're over it. Yes,
they didn't lose the World Series because of that, even
if cheating was going on in the game against the
White Sox with a middle reliever. White Sox don't care anymore.
They're not booing the I mean, they're booing their own team.
They don't have to boo the Astros. It's now only

(08:38):
your battle. And that's what's also got to make it
doubly frustrating.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
You're not wrong. You're not wrong when people are so
overrat except us.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
And the whole l two a thing by the way.
And I was thinking about this yesterday as I was
heckling him, and I had a good time doing that.
I'm fifty two years old and I was heckling a
ball player.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Now.

Speaker 8 (08:58):
The thing that pisses me off most is how good
he is. Yes, the fact that he shows up almost
every park, especially the Dodgers, and he performs as well.
He's gonna walk off the field and as soon as
he can, he's going to walk in into Cooperstown. He's
a really good player. And if he wasn't as good,
it wouldn't hurt as much.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
You know, Yes, I really agree with you.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
When when a minor leaguer is busted for steroids, I
get it. They're trying to make the big leagues. In
a way, it's a Barry Bond sort of thing. Why
did Bonds need to do all this stuff? He was
already amazing as he was. When Brady Anderson does it,
or Rafael palm Merrow trying to get to that next level,
even Sammy Sosa, why do you do it? Why did

(09:44):
you need to do it? Barry Bonds is the poster
child of that. Is L two Bay is great. But
when you say like you would have been a Hall
of Famer if you didn't do all of that stuff,
but you couldn't help yourself. It's completely frustrating.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
And Barry Bombs didn't even win at least Hotel Too,
but one one after the cheating he gets and then
he won another one. Yes, it's true, I know that,
but you know, think about the people who cheated and
it didn't even get them a world series.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I want to go to Papa Bear for a second,
and I want to hear from you as well. Eight
seven seven Fox eight seven seven nine six six three
six nine Ryan Smith. Yeah, he does, and you should too,
by the way, not okay, I know you're a Raiders fan,
and I said this to Manci prior to the show.
I go, I know who Ryan Smith hates. I know

(10:33):
his unintended rival of the Raiders. Because it's not the Broncos,
it's not the Chargers, it's not the Chiefs. I know
who your unintended rival. Sure, I think so you know who?
I said, yes, yes, yes, who is it? The Patriots? Yes?
Nailed it? Ye? Yes, And that's because of the Tuck rule,

(10:55):
the cheating, yes, the cheating, yes, cheating. So whenever the
Patriots did well, it brought you back to that point
and the tuck rule, and they did well a lot,
they won a lot, and it all went back to
that point. We're not alone in here. You could tweet
Moncey at Monty Millennials, hit me up at Dan Byer

(11:16):
on Fox, But who is your unintended rival? Because they
are all across sports. In fact, talking about the Seahawks,
I feel like the Packers had a problem with the
Seahawks at one time because of the fail mary where
when they had the replacement reps and they called a
touchdown on what was clearly an interception that should have

(11:38):
ended the game, but because of the chaos that it was,
there was nothing that they could do to overturn it.
Like I felt like that added to the rivalry. There
were connections between the two organizations previously, but I felt
like that was one. I don't know if there are
others that they feel, but I felt like it was
that way. But I know this is the case throughout sports.
Is there is there's the unintended rival. The ones are

(11:59):
usually natural because they're geographic or you've played for a
long time, but it's the ones that are outside outside
of that realm. In college football. Oregon in Oklahoma had
like a rivalry at one point. This was years back,
dating the stuff that happened in their games, and all
of a sudden, the Ducks are hating the Sooners and
the Sooners are hating the Ducks. It's an interesting phenomenon

(12:21):
because it's a bit random, but they're obviously all based
on for a certain reason. But I know that everyone's
sports teams. You have a unintended rival if you will.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
You know, for a while, as a Clipper fan, I
hated the Memphis Grizzlies. There was a while where it
was back and forth between us and Zach Randolph always
went off against us.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
But that one has died because the Clippers don't have
a rival like the Lakers. But it's like we don't
have the Glippers don't.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Have a ride or I'll tell you who. I thought. Well,
for a while, it was Golden State before they took off,
like with Sure, before they started winning titles. Yeah, there
was something there that they had with them in the.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
Warriors, Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
I go back more of the I think it was
the Memphis Grizzlies and I was always like, I don't
want to see them ever again.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I get that the Grizzlies have kind of had one
with Minnesota. I mean, same conference as well. Maybe not
as random, but they had gone back and forth. So
that's that's what we want to hear from you. The
phone lines are starting to line up. Eight seven seven
nine nine one Fox eight seven seven nine nine to
six six three sixty nine. I felt that the Raiders
one was appropriate, but I also it's tough to say

(13:31):
the Steelers from the immaculate reception for what they had
in the nineteen seventies, like that stuff ends up moving on.
I'll tell you another one. Speaking of moving I thought
that whenever the Colts played the Ravens that it would
be a rivalry game because the Ravens were their fans
were mad that the Colts left Baltimore in the early eighties.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
You'd think that was the case. And asked my buddy
Jerry Coleman in Baltimore one time, I said, what's what's
it like? What's it what's the feeling of when the
Colts come back to Baltimore Because and now it's been
forty years when I asked him, it was probably about
thirty thirty five years and he said. Once the Ravens
won their first Super Bowl over the Giants in Super

(14:17):
Bowl thirty five, that went away, so that erased it.
Like they got they got the win, they got their
own championship. The Colts hadn't won one at that time.
It made everything good. And now the Colts have been
in Indie longer than they were in Baltimore, I think,
considering what we've gotten the Ravens even for that matter

(14:37):
as well, or at least, the timeline is closed. But
the point is is that that's what it took for
Baltimore to kind of move on from the Colts and
to really just be like, all right, it's normal. But
I don't there's not going to be a moving on
for me at any point. I don't know if there
will be for the Dodgers, and I don't know if
there will be for the Raiders.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
The Dodgers.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
I think winning, obviously, if you win a World Series
Dodgers against the Astros.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
That might, yeah, alleviate a lot of it.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
You'll never get it back though, never going.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
To get it back, but it would alleviate a lot
of it.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
Sure, winning alleviates, Yes, it does, it does exactly.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
It absolutely does, she's Batzi Belanio. So I'm Dan Byer
in for Cavino and Rich. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
Ryan Smith had the Raiders uh the Patriots as a
Raiders fan. Jason, obviously, as the Dodger fan, hates the
Houston Astros. As you heard him yelling at Jose LTV
over the weekend. That is how you hackle, Isaac Glowing Kron.

(15:36):
Are you even a fan of any team to have
an unintended rival?

Speaker 2 (15:40):
It's actually much worse and much unprofessional than that. When
I was a kid, I was obsessed with the La
Kings hockey team. They make the Stanley Cup Final for
the first time ever in nineteen ninety three. There's the
curve stick incident. But besides that, Patrick Waugh of the
Montreal Canadians completely plays out of his mind, shuts them
down and just crushes me as a child. Years later,

(16:05):
as a reporter, I'm covering the NHL All Star Game
and there he is the man who caused me such
pain as an innocent youth, Patrick Waugh, and I started
staring at him, I started giving him the evil eye,
and it got to the point where he turned and

(16:25):
looked at me, and he couldn't have been nicer. He said, hey, buddy,
here are you okay? And I'm like, oh, I suddenly
came back to professional Isaac and I was like yeah,
but I was like so devastated by that man that
I kind of find myself kind of crossing the line
there to be honest with you. Also, by the way,
saved by the Bell. Growing up, Zach and Kelly were

(16:48):
this thing and they got broken up by this guy
Jeff and after Patrick Muldoon. I saw Patrick Muldoon at
a Laker game one night just as a fan, and
the same thing happened. Couldn't separate, you.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Know, reality production Zach and Gllan.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
And then he cheated on Kelly with that blonde right,
couldn't stand her.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yes, the guy was smooth though he was he was
once a cheat, always always a cheat. Jesse's in Indiana
joining us on Cavino and Rich Jesse, Welcome in Happy Monday.

Speaker 10 (17:22):
How are you hey, how's a going happy Monday to
you all?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Thanks?

Speaker 1 (17:27):
All right? Who do you? Who do you hate that
you maybe shouldn't hate, but you have to hate for
a reason.

Speaker 11 (17:32):
So mine's a weird one.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
I'm a big soccer guy.

Speaker 12 (17:36):
I'm in.

Speaker 11 (17:37):
I'm in Southern.

Speaker 13 (17:38):
Indiana, Plas to take Entucky. So I'm a Louisville City fan.

Speaker 14 (17:41):
Uh in the second division of US soccer and the
team I absolutely hate plays and doesn't even play in
our division but one Knoxville.

Speaker 13 (17:52):
I can never cheer for them. We played them in
a preseason.

Speaker 14 (17:55):
Game and they broke our captain's leg.

Speaker 13 (17:57):
And I played for two years.

Speaker 14 (17:58):
He's played once in the last two years.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Oh yeah, no, hate them forever done, absolutely done.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, even at that level, Like you're just like, there's
something dirty, dirty about it. Stu's in Vegas a Raiders fan?
Or does he hate the Raiders. We're about to find out, Stu.
Welcome to the Camino and Ras.

Speaker 10 (18:19):
How we doing, guys, I hate the Raiders just because
I always hated. I don't I'm just tired to hear
it about the tuck.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, Ryan, not a not a fan?

Speaker 11 (18:33):
Stu?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Who are you a fan of?

Speaker 13 (18:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Jeezu you you? Oh? You dropped them? Stew has disappeared.
Propaganda Stop the propaganda.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Convenient convenient there, Ryan.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I love how he hates the Raiders because he hates
them talking about them.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
That's so interesting. Yes, and he's in Vegas. Yeah, he
probably hears it all all the time.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Tom's in Florida, Tom welcome.

Speaker 11 (19:04):
Yeah, Hi guys, mine is I have an ultimate hatred
of Dan Quinn and Kyle Shanahan as a Falcons fan
all my life. Just run the damn ball against the Patriots,
so our cheer gets whoever they're coaching, just running the ball.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
So you hate the Commanders and forty nine Ers forty
nine Ers, Oh my, yeah, I get it. I honestly
think they hated each other. No, they didn't hate each other,
they just weren't on the same page. He should be
more mad at Kyle Shanahan than Dan Quinn though.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
So if he's gonna hate a team, he should hate
the forty nine Ers more so than the Commanders.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
Sure, but wherever Kyle Shanahan, if he were to move again,
he's gonna hate that team.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yes, that is.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
Steady, it's more of him, But right now it is
the forty nine Ers.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I would say seventy five Shanahan for what happened twenty
five Quinn in that spot.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
So Shanahan would say seventy five percent of the reason
why we're in this game is because of but that's
beside the point. It's what happened in Super Bowl fifty one.
Spencer's in La Spencer, what gift do you have?

Speaker 14 (20:08):
So I'm a Rams fan and I have a friend
who's a Saints fan, and after that twenty seventeen NFC
Championship game, my friend, every time he sees me is
we would have won that Super Bowl if not for
that passing span. Ever since that game, he just hates
the Rams, and I think the same could probably be
said for every Saints fan.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
I agree with that there. I would if I'm a
Saints fan.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
Bri Brie I know Brianna Mirel yet, yes, was at
the update desk yesterday, that's right, producer.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Here at Fox Sports Radio. She is a Saints fan.
I can get on board with that.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Yeah, totally makes sense.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
And they were also in the same division at one time,
which is actually the funny because the Falcons caller called
in Falcons and forty nine Ers were in the same
division a long time ago, NFC West. But there was
a there could have been a rivalry there if you
wanted to. But I would, I would I if I'm
a Saints fan, I'm never getting over that pass interference call.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Probably not. You probably dream about it now.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Think of that time seven because that's what happened in
the Super Bowl to the Seahawks, because there were like
seven calls that they got screwed on against Pittsburgh. Because
Jerome Bettis is playing his last game. All right, Mike's
in Saint Paul, Mike, Welcome into Fox Sports Radio. Mike.

(21:28):
All right there, I think. Do we have Mike. No,
we don't have Mike.

twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Ten, or like the Atlanta Falcons coaching staff in Super
Bowl fifty one. Like it is specific, Like there's really
individual people that people are talking about when it comes.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
To their hates exactly, and we are taking callers. So
let's go to Eric in North Carolina. Eric, who do
you hate? Let us know why?

Speaker 11 (23:30):
All right? Hear me out?

Speaker 10 (23:32):
Two thousand and one Super Bowl Panthers Patriots.

Speaker 14 (23:35):
If John Casey.

Speaker 11 (23:36):
Does not kick that ball out of bounds, does Tom
Brady ever exist?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
And do the Panthers finally have a Super Bowl?

Speaker 11 (23:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Wow, thank you, it's the poor guy. Didn't have a
lot to kick in. That game was a high score,
one of the better Super Bowls that we had. But yeah,
I gave the Patriots the field position and then Adam
Vintteri becomes the the hero. I get it. I get like,
there's unfortunately this is the deal. Like Bill Buckner. You know,

(24:05):
many rest in peace, but for so long was the
villain to Red Sox fans because of the air. Maybe
not all, but to some there are people who stand out.
I love the team aspect of it where it's just
random in terms of but the randomness may have happened
at a big spot, you like in the super Bowl.

(24:27):
With the Seahawks and Steelers. They don't play every year,
play every four years, but when they play, there's something
to me that really still bothers me. No regular season
win is going to take over it. I said that
even winning in Super Bowl forty eight did not make
things feel better. I know you feel otherwise than others
feel that way, but just any old Like if the

(24:49):
Seahawks were to beat the Steelers, I guess in a
super Bowl, maybe that would help, but it still wouldn't
undo how they were wronged in Super Bowl four.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
It wouldn't and do, but it would absolutely a lleve
Johnny Papa's I think is how you say it tweeted
at me and.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Said thanks for tweeting, thanks for the follow up.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
Set can confirm that beating the rival changes everything. Signed
the two thousand and four Boston Red Sox, like you
won't completely forget it, but it absolutely alleviates it.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yes, and how they did it was yes, and like
if they would have won five games, it wouldn't have
had the same effect.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Sure, Yes, all of that would matter, but no even going.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
You know, I can imagine just walk off home run
against the Astros in Game seven of a World Series.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Oh, that would be so eviic. That'd be so eviic.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Bill's in Florida, Bill, Welcome to Coveno and Rich.

Speaker 12 (25:39):
Hey, guys, I got a reverse hatred story. Back in
the day, I hated Tommy Disorder. I was a big
Braves fan and the Sorda was always beating the Braves
back then. Well, anyway, like a year later after that,
I decided to go to a spring training game when
the Astros played in Outfielder County. So I bought takeos
four row right behind Lasorda and Ron TARANASKI. Well, Alexengel Paine,

(26:05):
his wife and little boy, probably about five or six
at a time, came walking up and sat down right
in front of me. Well, Lesorta turned around, saw her,
and he was the nicest guy to them the whole game.
I mean, it was just totally changed my perception of
Tommy Lasorda.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Those moments actually are pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
So he's telling me that I'm gonna meet like Hosel
tuve Ata in line at Chipotle and I'm gonna be like, man,
you are awesome.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Then we're gonna speak in Spanish.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
And then you're gonna go up to the register and
you're gonna find out that he bought your chiple.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
For you, right, all of the things, all of that,
and left me a gift card for it.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
But that is a great story, and Tommy Lisorta has
tons of those, so no surprise there.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Speaking of the Dodgers, Gill's in Virginia.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Yeah, let's go to Gil in Virginia, who hates Dodgers fans? Hi, Gil,
thanks for calling into Cavino and Rich.

Speaker 13 (26:57):
Hello, Monty, Hi bye, and a long time Astros fan
and you know who else. In twenty seventeen got fined
for cheating the Boston Red Sox. But I don't hear
any of you Dodgers fans bringing them up. You know why,
because they didn't beat you. So the only two the

(27:17):
only differences between those two teams and every other team
in MLB is they got caught. Every team cheats, Every
team cheats, so y'all can get off your high.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Who was the manager of the Red Sox when they won.

Speaker 7 (27:37):
In the two thousand and four Yeah, I wasn't I
could have swore he used to play for the Astros.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Terry, it was Terry Frank. I'm not talking about that one.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
I'm talking about the other one when they beat the Dodgers. Yeah,
Dinny Korr used to play for the Astros. Huh, that's
crazy how that works.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
There were some yell overlaps.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
There's some apple much stuff as well involved. He said
the facts were maybe misconstrued. Am I am I wrong
on this? So Gil, thanks for listening. Yeah, thanks, You're
a little foggy on the details. Right.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
So, twenty seventeen, the Astros were convicted of cheating. Okay,
Alex Cora was a coach on that Astros team who
went to the Red Sox in twenty eighteen and started
pulling the same shenanigans with the Red Sox the next year?
Who did the who the Red Sox beating in the
World Series the Dodgers. Alex Cora got suspended? What a year?

Speaker 7 (28:32):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (28:33):
So I think those are the details, right? Am I
am I wrong on any of that?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I think the details are everybody cheats and that was
actually supposed to be Arim song instead of everybody hurts.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
But everybody cheats. Stop it, stop.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
It Jeffreys in Arizona. I think he's going to the
college game with this one. Jeffrey, Welcome in Hello.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
Actually go by the new Arc tur But I used
to be tussy Carl mascot, so I'm going outside the box.
I despise Oklahoma States mascot. The ugliest mascot ever, the
Cowboy and also my favorite, even though my favorite pet,
part Boxer, part Abrador, Duke. I cannot stand the Duke

(29:19):
and the dookies.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Why because of the the antics of the mascots? Is
that why.

Speaker 10 (29:28):
The well, no, the appearance.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Okay, right, I think we're starting to We're starting to,
you know, veer off, We're starting We're going straight.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
Up because not for an incident or a moment or
a series.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I hate my husband, you know, like thanks Joan, Joan
and des Moines. No, don't even bother calling. We know
it's not working out. You know who I love, Isaac Lohenkron.
Let's go to him for the latest. What's happening today? Well,
mascots are being brought into it. Why do you hate
the Duke mascot just because the way he looks?

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Doesn't everybody? Speaking of love? I'm hunched over deep into
research about something that is just beginning to trend, and
that is a photograph of legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady
appearing to have dinner with a famous woman and that

(30:29):
picture is starting to really really trend and go viral. Sidney,
I was actually gonna ask you to guess it's actually
a different woman than Sidney Sweeney. Mansea, you want to
take a shot at it?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
What exactly what are they doing? Something soap again?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well, they appear to be having dinner, which I'll get to.
It's a it's a photograph that is taking a social
media by storm right now. Any guesses on who the lady?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, I just looked Oh okay, I just looked it up,
so I'm I'm not I want.

Speaker 8 (31:00):
To say these two actresses ruled the aughts.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Go for it?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Is that fair?

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Well, what's your guess?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
I vaguely saw it.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
It's like Kate Hudson and somebody.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
That was actually a different woman than Tom Brady has
been pictured with. The latest is Sophia Virgara. We know
how Manzy feels about that. But it looked like they
were having dinner at a very nice, fancy outdoor place.
A lot of other people around, and a guest is
giving miss Virgara a kiss on the forehead in the picture,

(31:34):
but it appears that they are dining together. They're sitting
side by side, and it does appear to be a
big circular table and not necessarily a table for two.
But social media is going wild about it. So that
is apparently not the last you were going to hear
about Brady and Virgara. Meanwhile, in the fourth round at
Wimbledon today, nineteen seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria goes up

(31:57):
two sets to none over one seed Yonick Center. But
then on the said Dimitrov sustained an apparent right pectoral injury.
Here's how it sounded on Radio Wimbledon.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
How can he swing that on?

Speaker 14 (32:07):
It really seems very unlikely, as you will.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I know, he's having to retire.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
He's come back on the courts water Shane, that is,
he's played so well. He's actually in tears coming back.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
But your heart goes out to Grigo Temitrov. It was
the fifth consecutive Grand Slam, Yeah, that Dimitrov had to
retire from because of injury. Earlier, American Ben Shelton advanced
to the quarterfinals with a four set win over Italy's
Lorenzo Sonago. NBA ESPN reported that Kyle Lowry's agreed to
a one year deal to return to the Philadelphia seventy

(32:39):
six ers, and the New York Knicks officially announced the
hiring of Mike Brown as their new head coach. Dan
and Monci, you know.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I'd hate that picture. Ja ja jay, that's my that's
me doing my Sophia Vigara.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
It's pretty impressive that she's never gotten better at speaking English.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
It's impressive.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's part of the deal, is.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
She can't get better. She can't get better be off
the air.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I'll bet you though that off the air she speaks
it better than the three of us combined.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's totally leaned into.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Yeah, she has to practice because it's hard to not
get out of it, like that's impressed.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
She has to practice at home and keep the accent.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Well, it's yeah, it's part of the deal.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Yeah, well, yeah, you wouldn't find her as attractive.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Correct, Well, no, that's not what I meant. No, I
thought you were going to say something else and already
had the answer.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
It happens.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
I love how nervous Dan gets whenever we talk about
attractive women, not as nervous as John Ramos used to
get because we knew what was waiting at home for John.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
But I have no We played the weed game once
with John and we needed to clarify because it was
him and Mancy. We had to clarify that they were
not actually an item.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
We weren't.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
We're pretending, John pretending. But I will say that I
have zero problem saying this full throated pause. Uh, Sophia
Ragara is dripping wet hot, and I just realized that
she's my age. She's my age.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Yeah, she is dripping one hot. I like that.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Speaking of John Ramos tenth anniversary of Kitty Boo being
killed by the neighborhood dog. So rip to Kitty Boo,
we miss you. John's cat got out, and then the
neighborhood German shepherd and then got I know, thank you for.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Thank you for bringing that into our lives.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Aanyas I'm dan byer. John said to us on time,
can you can you just not talk about Kitty Boo again?
So I have not stopped talking about it. I seek
John hasn't been at the network for john and a
half and we're still talking about it here on Fox Sports.
Right here, Brandon tweets in I hate those cheeters from
Houston to this day. I don't know why Manfred didn't
punish the players at all. Both the seventeen and twenty

(34:54):
two titles should have been vacated.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
That's right, Brendan. I agree.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Listen. I I know that the Packers and Cowboys have
had rivalries in the past, but if you like a
current Cowboy fan, you'd have to hate the Packers for
the des Bryant like non catch. If you're the Lions.
There was a call in the game prior to that
Packers Cowboys matchup that went against the Lions, so I
would be like, oh, you probably got to be pretty
annoyed with the Dallas Cowboys. Those are the things that

(35:22):
I was looking at in all of this. Maybe not
too as big of a stage of a World Series
or a Super Bowl, but there are things that happen
in certain games that always stick with you and they
never leave.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
She's Monty Blagos, I'm Dan Byer. We will never leave.
As we continue here on Fox Sports Radio in for
Cavino and Rich hit Monty up at Monte Bolangnos. You
can find me at Dan Byer on Fox.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Cavin are on Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. She's
Monty Blagos and I'm Dan Byer in for the guys
who were in for Dan Patrick earlier today. For over
forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast
and freedback by free Road has a protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tirereq dot com the

(36:13):
way tire buying should be. And now time for our
Tireraq play of the day.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Set piece here for Mexico.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Alphaato the fake now it's hooked it.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
It takes a fluckings and Alvarez the flag comes up
for offside. Mexico have had multiple goals ruled out for
offside at this tournament.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
And he's having a look at this right now.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Again, we're not looking for clear and obvious here as
he would at MLS.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
What is looking for the right decision. And it is
a good goal. It is a Mexico goal.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
It is Axin Alvarez, who's given Mexico the lad with
twelve minutes to play.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Oh, crushing cother on Fox courtesy of Fox Mexico Gold
Cup champs and not a handball.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Yeah, not a handball. My brother says that was the
right call.

Speaker 6 (37:00):
He says it was incidental contact, so he used it
to brace himself. And I didn't know that because obviously
it's a handball, like there was no question about it.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
But apparently, why would you be watching the Gold Cup
when NBA Summer League is happening right now, because.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
That means nothing to me, just like Odas yesterday.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
I'm big faceised by the way, right, of course, yesterday
there was a video I'm sure you saw it, Bronnie
James off of Steel getting a nice dunk on the
other side of the court.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
That's wonderful. It's summer league. I hope he can do
that with an open lane off of Steel, that's.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Great, just like Shador Sanders looks wonderful at Oda's. It's
the same thing as means nothing, at least nothing.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
At least there's competition in summer league. Sometimes these highlights
are shown in like seven on seven drills where there's
no pass rush or anything that's going on. But I'm
gonna tell you this. We are now in July of
twenty twenty five. Yep, we saw Broddy get drafted in
June of twenty twenty four. I agree with you with

(37:58):
all of this Summer league stuff. I think it's completely overblown.
I actually think it reached its peak around the Lonzo
Ball era. Remember they sold out the Thomas and Mack
Center and UNLB like, I feel like it's kind of
regressed a little bit since then. Isn't as crazy as
it was. But I'm going to say this about Bronnie James.
After a year, I've made my own rule. No more

(38:20):
hating on Bronnie James. Wow, it stops here. The buck
stops here, Manci. And the reason why is this. We
can hang on to all of this, but if he
is performing in the G League where they don't play
any defense whatsoever, if he is having ten points in
eleven minutes, at some point he's going to have to
prove it. The way it all went down with lebron
and saying you're only going to go to Phoenix, You're

(38:42):
only going to go to the Lakers and have it
pigeonholed in that way. I don't think was great. But
at some point you Isaac, Jason, Ryan, and especially me
have to get over it. And I'm not saying that
all of you guys were over it or not over it,
but the fact is you got to move on at
some point.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
I'm totally on board with that.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
Let's move on from the fact that he was a
draft pick in the second round for the Lakers when
he shouldn't have been.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Let's move on from that. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Twelve months we're twelve months removed. Its time to move on.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
He's still there and he's playing. And this isn't a
dig on Bronnie.

Speaker 6 (39:13):
This is just like, yeah, I hope he can do
that off a steal without a defender.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
The guy just backed off and he dunked. Yeah, I
hope he can do that. That's great if he.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Carves out a career as a defensive menace. Was the
phrase that he used at six to two. If you
can do that in the NBA, you know what tip
of the cap? Bronni. Absolutely, that's and now is that point.
I feel like a year was good. I felt when
the NCAA tournament was going on, That's where Bronnie should
have been, you know, shining instead of in front of

(39:43):
a few hundred fans watching a G League game. If that, yeah,
it now is the time. It's been long enough. We
don't have to hold onto the past. I think we
now kind of at least have to be on the
side of Bronnie James, who's going to have to figure
out a way to carve out his own NBA career.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
Right the topic of conversation with Bronnie now changes now
beyond just the draft pick.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
And he could be an All Star if he gets
thirty in his next Summer League game. We'll find out.
Just kidding, She's Mante Milanos, I'm Dan Beyer. The All
Star Game rosters are pretty much set. Who got snubbed?
We'll tell you next on Fox Sports Radio.
