Humpty Dumpty style, Vikings Ravens, Texans, Bears, Cardinals Giant style.
When you just read off the teams of one Cardinals, Giants, Yeah,
they had the best weekend. Hope you had a profar
you darvish short to weekend. You that guy delivers in
the postseason. Huh man, it's some great baseball. I thought
(00:51):
baseball outshine football by a landslide over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Anyway, I'm Cavino. That's the birthday boy.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Rich davisonbody happy sixty fifth, Bron sixty fifth, Steve Camino,
Rich Davis and you as Fox Sports Radio, and we
be rocking out. Let's go broadcasting live from the tyrack
dot com studio tyrack dot com. We'll help you get there,
not me, Rich and Tiraq. I'm busy marshing the Yankees tonight.
An unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road has a
(01:18):
protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirack dot com
the way tire buying should be well. Enjoy today because
you'll have my full attention because the next two days
the Mets Phillies are on at two oh eight West
Coast Totts, five o'clock on the east side. When I
say we saw some great baseball, I mean it, and
your Mets are a huge part of that. They are
(01:40):
a team. They're not lucky to be there, they deserve
to be there. They're battling the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
What a rivalry.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Two great rivalries, Melli's and Mellies, Mets Phillies. I call
them Mellies. The melly please, I call it the Melle rivalry.
You can roll it that rong. And of course Danny
g My goodness, Manny Machado is so punishable. The Dodgers Padres.
I don't have a nickname for that rivalry, but it's growing,
it's building, and I'm loving it. The Doddres, the Doddre rivalry. Good, yeah,
(02:12):
I thought the coolest moments from the weekend. There were
so many we're gonna go over the things that made
you go hmm. But I have to say when Profar
toyed with everyone and made it seem like, oh, I
missed it. Then he's like Nanny Nanni, poo poony, and
he started moon walking backwards looking at the Dodgers fans,
and he robbed Mookie Bets of a home run that
(02:35):
was playoff baseball. You need more of that type of
stuff and you will get people involved. And by the way,
Mooki Bets needed that he's not hitting too well in
the postseason. That could have been the streak breaker. A
nice home run for the Dodgers for him and a
nice tone setter and robbed in front of the fans.
What a cat. The best part about that, I mean,
(02:56):
Danny's like there was no group part of that. The
best part about that was the announcer was right. I
think it was Joe Davis who's calling your games, which.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, makes sense, feels dirty too because he's unbiased calling
for Fox for both teams, so he's like super excited
for the Padres.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And you know what I've thoughts about this that we've
touched on before. But let me write this down. Be
the announcer game. Something's going on here. But Joe Davis
was saying every stadium should have a low outfield wall
like that because every play would be.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Somewhat I don't think the fans knew that they could
like smack his glove and push him if.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
He goes into the breast stands right.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You know what it's it's the fear of being Steve Bartman.
So everyone just backs on. I'm not getting involved, But
I don't know if Dan Byer saw it. In Milliawak
when Pete A. Lonzo dropped that pop up, there are
people saying, like, how come no one pointed this out?
There was a fan that pushed that screen and sort
of I guess you would say gotten his visuals?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, no, for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
If you if you could interfere with the player and
he's in the crowd, do it. Yeah. But Profar, like
any players in this moment have said, like they've dreamed
about these moments. He said the reason he was so
pumped is because he thought he'd never get that opportunity.
You know, he doesn't normally play the outfield and get
those opportunities to snag one in the playoffs. The way
he did that was an incredible moment.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I think it's also pretty telling that the fans are like,
all right, I'm not going to get thrown out of
this game in the first inning with these great seats
that we have, Like, right, but later on in the
game is fine, after we've taken in a while. But
there's no way I'm gonna get kicked out, right, Yeah,
we'll get through that later. For throwing stuff, yeah, yeah,
throwing stuff in the fields, good, hold off until midway
through outs.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
We're not going to do this in the first though.
I'm was stupid, real exciting baseball man. It makes me
happy as a baseball fan to see that. Yeah, I
know sometimes you got to wait till the postseason for
things to fire up. But nothing better. Some really great excitement,
some great games, And it would have been even more
exciting had the announcers brought more excitement. Yeah, could talk
about that real quick, and then we'll move on. I
(04:55):
want to get to a lot of football from the weekend,
even in college. I mean, people are dragon goalpost for
Miles dumping him in rivers. Congrats to Vanderbilt beating Alabama.
By the way, I hope you had a Diego Pavia
vapto loco from Vanderbilt sort of weekend on on this.
So we'll get to college football, we'll get to NFL.
But one thing about baseball, And we've talked about this
(05:18):
before briefly, so let me just touch on it once again.
Why do we love football in the postseason? As far
as how the games break down, there's a sense of familiarity.
A big CBS AFC game. You know you're getting Jim Nansen,
Tony Romo, NBC, you know you're getting Tariko and Collinsworth. Fox,
(05:40):
you got Burkhrt and now Tom Brady last year Olsen
Monday Night, by the way, and Tom Brady has the
same commercials promoting that he's calling the game. Not many
announcers or broadcasters get their own commercial like you're tuning in.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
To watch now that broadcast.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
When's the difference of Tom Brady when you spend three
hundred million dollars on the guy's contract. Foxes like we're
getting and by the way, those we get our moneyes
thro Those Fox commercials are fantastic. They allude to I mean,
he could retire and get fat on the beach drinking Margarita's.
But he's Tom freaking Brady and he's putting that effort
in and he's taken on his career.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now. The commercials are great.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So my takeaway is that football and basketball they have
the broadcasting crews you know will be there for the
big games. Baseball is a one hundred and sixty two day,
six plus month grind. You have the familiar voices, whether
(06:37):
it's Danny g here and Joe Davis, or Cavino here
and Michael ka or me here and Gary Cohen, Gary
keithan Ron. You get used to your own booth. Some
booths are way better than others. But regardless of who's
the best, it's like chicken soup when you're sick. It's
like it's like that you know burger at the place
in your hometown. It's there's something comfortable about it. When
(07:01):
you get to the postseason and you're mix mashing announcers,
it takes away from otherwise ridiculously exciting baseball. You get
that on the radio side, fortunately right, but you lose
it on the TV side. As a broadcaster we notice it,
but as a casual fan you notice it because social
media destroyed Bob Costas over the weekend. I feel bad
(07:23):
even saying that because I respect him as a sports legend,
but he's not the Yankees guy. Not only was it off,
his calls were off, but the sound mix was off.
Every time they talked, it drowned out the crowd and
you barely heard it, and again took away from the
overall excitement that we were all watching. Whatever. The Dodgers
padres on. I believe that FS one right. Yeah, and
(07:43):
the Mets Phillies run Fox. They had their sound right.
And I'm not saying that because run Fox Sports Radio.
We have no affiliation with Fox. Base offis one, now, Yeah,
they had the sound mix right, TBS. They did not
Bob Costas and run Darling. Some thing was off with
the mix. You're so noticeable. It sounded dead. Crickets radio silence,
(08:06):
and meanwhile you see the crowd cheering because the Yankees
just scored or a home run was hit, and you
hear them talking over it. It rounded out all the
crowd noise.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You can hate the Yankees, but let there be no confusion.
We all know Yankee Stadium in October is a loud place,
and that broadcast stunk, It really did, and it didn't
help put it that way, The game itself is what
carried the excitement. So I've said it before, and I
saw a great piece in Sports Illustrated about how could
we incorporate local broadcasters into the playoffs, because guess what,
(08:39):
you don't want Michael k calling another game he should
be calling the Yankees game. Joe Davis, luckily in Duaye
lined up. He got the Dodgers game, so that was
a little sound of comfort for Dodgers fans in West
Coast Baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Comfort Rich a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But then you have to hear him screaming and shouting
praises for the Padres. So it's strange anyways, right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Right, There's there's more to it. How about knowledgeable?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They follow that team the whole year, so they're more
invested and more knowledgeable. And you're mixing these dudes up
calling for teams they don't normally call for.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He's ready to hear Ron Darling, you know, calling a
Yankees game when he should be calling the Mets games.
As simple as that.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Rich, you said last week, put a Padres guy next
to Joe Davis and let him scream about the Padres.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's my answer.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And and by the way, that's not to say they're
not capable, Rich, but you're not getting the same quality
there that you could have been getting. I agree with you.
Ron Darling is great, but you know where he's great
with Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen calling the Mets. I
think he's great regardless, but he's even better when he's
calling the Mets. That's that's fair, right. Michael kay seemed
(09:45):
out of place not calling a Yankees game. In fact,
there was social media hate everywhere. But the simple point
is we want to hear familiar voices in baseball. For
some reason. It's a great radio and great TV sport.
As far as broadcasters being part of your daily life,
every see only sport where every team has their own guy.
Every other sports does not. Well, some great baseball, some
(10:08):
great football, which we're gonna get to. Things that made
you go home. We do it every week. Week five
made us go hmm. But Rich, the birthday boy, you
got to tell us about the worst two minutes of
your weekend. So when it comes to the weekend of
baseball and football, and again we're gonna take your phone calls.
Things that made you go, hmmm, Week five of the
(10:28):
NFL and some baseball will throw it all together. There
were two minutes. You know, me, I have the Big
Game TV, as we point out, what gets the big screen? Right,
Rich has two TVs. And by the way, did you
see we hit our solar power parlay for the second
week in a row, three for three parlay. Congrats where
if we're feeling it, we're in the zone. Now I
(10:49):
have the Mets and the forty nine ers. That was
the crowd noise from the Yankee game the other day. Yeah,
that's all you heard. And the game winning line drive
playvor tours and the Yankees take the league Andism scores.
Good job.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
The Yankees take the lead.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Like what but Bob Costas his call was even weak,
like he would have scored anyway the ball, but the
ball got by him. Man, Yankees up six to five. Meanwhile,
Justism almost knocked the Empire over. Exciting play man. Yeah,
so you know it as Rich credit to the games
because they were exciting were Yeah, no, no doubt, But
(11:31):
I know as I was in a unique scenario. But
this is just really funny because I'm not a big
birthday guy, But today's my birthday. So yesterday I was like,
he's a birthday guy. Would it be a nice little
treat if the forty nine Ers and Mets who were
playing side by side of my TV doesn't.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Mean you not a big birthday guy? Yeah? You don't
want day guy? Yeah? He actually he doesn't want the attention. Right, Oh,
it's my birthday.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Meanwhile, the other three hundred and sixty four days of
the year, the guy's lighting his farts on fire because
he wants attention. But today is birthday. Hits on, mister
humble guy, don't make a big deal about my birthday.
Associated you are such an attention seeking guy. I don't
dispute that every other day of the year except for
the one day that you should be getting it. I
just feel like I always associated people that made a
(12:12):
big deal about their birthdays as women or children. Yeah,
because they don't want it every single day like you do.
I don't understanding on social media women. Davis, the biggest
attention seeker of anyone I ever met, got into radio
not because he likes sports, not because he likes music,
because he likes attention. Self admitted the one day where
(12:33):
it's understood that he gets attention his birthday.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He doesn't want.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I just think it's like a girly like a child move,
like a twelve year old birth birthday. Like what do
I care? It's my birthday? You know what? I want
my because it's money easy?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Is it because it's too easy? Do you think that's it?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like it's just I like to work for my Yeah
like that, yeah, like is that why?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
It's just like it's like the automatic, like you're like,
this really doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
This is like it's like a bide money.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You know what, tim By, you just dissected my personality
and to it, I didn't earn it. I feel like
the other day is I try to earn the laugh
I try to earn the phone call, the funny text,
the tweet, like the feedback we get. I want to
earn it. I don't like like the fact that I
have thousands of like notifications on social media that I
have to now be like it's just a symbol that
your youth is slipping. Not just you, it's just that
(13:20):
yearly reminder that you're getting older. I just don't like that.
And I also maybe don't like that I'm a mid
forties now, yeah, anyway, maybe I have something so but anyway,
I'm not a big birthday guy. But I did say,
would it be a nice little birthday treat if the
Niners and the Mets both got a w On the
Sunday before my birthday, I have the TV's on. At
the same time, I'm switching back and forth between the
(13:41):
volume Niners, Cardinals, Mets, Phillies and what's that book you're
read as a kid. Somebody's no good, very bad day,
Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. That Rich
Davis's awful two minutes? Can we just do that instead?
And it has nothing to do with me in the bedroom,
That's not what she said. The Rich Dave is very
bad two minutes. I don't love if this is dawned
(14:03):
on anyone except me, because it shouldn't because who cares.
But within a two minute period, the forty nine Ers
lost and the Mets gave up the game winning hit
to the Phillies. So while I have both games on,
I'm like, come on, but when I tell you, no joke?
Within two minutes on the left TV Brock pretty interception
(14:23):
games over ah Son of a. Then I look to
the right TV. I'm like, all right, well six six,
maybe the Mets could and castianto. So I'm like, you
son of something literally within I bet you if you
look at the time stamp switch, you don't need to
be that boring to go do that. But if you did,
I guarantee you it's within two minutes. Because I react,
I turned to my wife's crying.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I turned to my wife and I'm like, yeah, that
was probably, like, like really at the worst two minutes
of sports in a long time for me, Like my
football team and my baseball team both lost important games
within a minute of each other. Yeah, winning Honestly, That's
when I did think of you, Rich and I did think,
you know, which is onto something with that extra TV,
because I felt like I hated the back and forth
(15:05):
of my phone in the TV right trying to watch
all the games, trying to watch baseball and football. So
I thought of you in that moment. Well, I've done
the worst foes Walmart, and there's no sponsorship for them.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Who cares.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You could get it anywhere, but Walmart right now has
a Roku fifty inch TV for one eighty nine thirty
dollars TV stand for like two hundred bucks. I wheel
in the fifty inch TV every Sunday gives you an
extra look, why not for that for that one game?
Throw it in the guest bedroom, thrown in your kids
are in whatever, just it's it makes sense. But I
(15:38):
think the best setup is if you have a guest bedroom.
It goes in like the guest bedroom when you're not
using it, and then wheel it out when you are. Yeah,
there you go. But it did spur a lot of thoughts,
even though both of my team's lost. Which loss bothered
me more, and that was the forty nine ers because
(16:00):
the Mets they should have lost Game one. Wheeler was dealing.
The Phillies made a big mistake by taking him out
of the game. They should never have taken Zach Wheeler
out of that game, agreed, So you could almost argue
the Mets stole Game one and probably should have won
Game two. Soy Julie, Philadelphia going back to Queen's tied
one one much like the Dodgers, Danny, you dropped one
(16:21):
at home, but one one who cares right, newc Now
it's a best of three.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, o.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Taani looked like Superman. In game one and then went
back to Clark Kent in game two.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I he got big time by his childhood hero, you
Darvish his mind. You Darvish is still the guy. And
it's like his Dwight goodin Yeah he was Showhy's daddy
yesterday he really was in a best of five or
seven one to one. It's almost like, all right, it's
almost like a push. Nothing happened. Now it's the best
of three instead of a best of five. Maybe your
(16:51):
Yankees jump out two. Well, today we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But the forty nine ers now have lost a second
game to an inferior team when they were up big
and they just let it slip away. There's something about
the Niners team this year. You could say, whoa McCaffrey. No,
they have this inability to step on the throat of
an opponent when they're down, like twenty three to ten,
(17:15):
put the bat of their misery, do something. The Niners
let these teams hang around, make a final quarter, fourth
quarter mistake, they don't finish. The team rams and now, yeah, dB,
you could argue that the forty nine Ers could and
should very well be four and one. Kyler Murray played
a pretty good game too, though, Man, he looked quick
against your defense. They were an anthet they were a
(17:35):
Mason fumble, and if you go back to the Rams game,
a Ronnie Bell opened drop, there are two plays away
from easily being four and one games they had control of.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Yeah, if some bots candy and nuts, yeah, I mean,
I'd say it flippantly, but it's true because those things
didn't happen to the forty nine ers previously, because they
were maybe up ten in those games instead of up
six without a kicker or or you know this area
that then ended up playing out yesterday. I am curious
from your perspective because I was on the air during
that those games, because the forty nine ers had their
(18:09):
kicking situation without Jake Moody. Were you surprised when the
Cardinals went for two to get within two at that time?
And the reason that I'm asking is because two reasons.
Number one, there's been a trend in the NFL where
you will see this teams going for two in case
they may need it later on and you have that opportunity,
but it's usually a two touchdown game. Here, it was
(18:33):
a difference between a field goal like, if they don't
make it for two, they have to score a touchdown
instead of it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It was wild. They were you know, ballsy move paid
off for.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Them, Yes, and it was.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
And I thought it was because the Niners didn't have
their kicker because Moody wasn't available where they knew that
San Francisco was not going to be able to really
kick anything. They would have to score a touchdown to
really put any more points on the board, so they
wanted to keep that two point edge because that was
eleven minutes left.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And I thought that there was such a crucial decision
in the game.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
And when I'm on the air, I'm reacting live to it,
and then I think about it, I'm like, well, Jesus,
that game went to overtime. The Niners really would have
been screwed because they would have been able to have
a kicker to kick a field goal.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Ya, it's an area, so listen, you watch a team
like the Niners. Now, I'm not believe it or not.
I'm not concerned as a fan yet because at two
and three, dan Byer Seahawks are three and two and
they play on Thursday night, and if the Niners bounce
back and win on Thursday. It's everyone in that division.
It's five lower and it's like panic because there's no
one that dominates unless the Vikings are the real deal.
(19:36):
No panic button yet. But man, talk about a team
that is not capitalizing on these early season games that
they should be winning. If the forty nine ers slide
in it like ten and seven, it's because they, let
you know, they let the early part of their schedule
really screw them over. And speaking of other dominant teams,
the Chiefs tonight, I want to remain undefeated.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But things that made you go hmm, week five, Yeah,
we dive into that next. It could be in the
world of football or baseball. Any observations you made, anything,
anything you wanted Brody and Lebron together for the first time,

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Hope you had a great weekend, are you?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Darvis shutting down the Dodger sort of weekend, lots of
great foodsball, a New York Football giant sort of weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I was surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I was absolutely surprised by the Giants dB. I'm guessing
you were watching that one a little closer. That was
in the late game, so I had the Mets and
the Niners going on. What was the story the Seahawks
off week or the Giants delivering? Well, it's tough.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Because we're on the air at that time, so actually
you have to follow all four of the games, so
not as locked in to the games. But Gino Smith
was sacked in with sacks seven times in the game. Turnovers,
Giants dominated, possession, Giants ran the ball well. Seahawks defense
couldn't get off the field and then you can't block
a field goal attempt, so they still had a chance
to tie it at the end and couldn't get done. Still,
(22:33):
don't know how good the Seahawks are. You know, they
up until that point they had beaten everybody. They should
have lost to the lines in that tough one. Thursday
will be a real test.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, Thursday nine or Seahawks might be honestly the best
Thursday night game as far as like significant so far. Sure,
anybody wake up early to watch the Jets Vikings for
Do you see our boss in the crowd or the mustache? No,
our boss was was there. Yeah, I know he was there,
but I didn't see him in the crowd. It will
shot him with a mustache. He was so fired up
(23:02):
about the Vikings winning he growled out a mustache like
he pushed out a school. I think if he screamed
scoll like, a mustache just comes in. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
No, it's actually really funny.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
But anyway, hope all your team's won. Hope you enjoyed
your football, your baseball action pack weekend. For sure, We're
Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Let's go to
DP for an update and then things that made you go,
what's up down here?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
The Detroit Tigers just got out of a jam. Derek
Scouball hadn't allow of hit entering the fifth inning, but
the Guardians got one off of him, and then he
hit it better, so they had first and second with
one out, but an inning ending double play four six ' three,
and the Tigers and Guardians remained scoreless through five innings
of play. Guardian's up one oho on the best of
five series. Cavino's Yankees and the Royals play at seven
(23:46):
thirty Eastern time, as the Yanks are up one to
zero in that series. Raiders said coach Antonio Pierre says
he is still deciding on who will be the starting
quarterback between Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well Colt said.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Coach Shane Steikens says Anthony Richardson will be his starting
quarterback when Richardson is healthy. Joe Flacco played in place
of the injured Richardson and yesterday's lost to the Jaguars,
throwing for over three hundred yards and three touchdowns. Texans
wide receiver Nico Collins now considered a week to week
because of a hamstring injury. The Texans are in New
England on Sunday. Niners kicker Jake Moody does have a
high inkle sprain He's gonna miss weeks of action. Arkansas
(24:19):
fined two hundred and fifty grand while Vanderbilt docked one
hundred thousand dollars after their fans ran on the field
following huge upsets this weekend in the SEC. Following their
upset of number one Alabama, Vanderbilt will walking off items
from that game, including pylons and pieces of the goalpost.
Texas says that quinn Ewer's on track to start a
quarterback against Oklahoma on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl as
(24:40):
he returns from an oblique injury.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Guys, back to.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You, thank you, Dan Byer. You know what I feel
the worst for. You know, in fact, let's get into it.
Things that made you go. Hmmm, things that make you go,
Things that make you go when you have a game
like Joe Burrow did and you're trying to dig yourself
back into the season and you lose a close ot
(25:05):
game like that on a bad handle snap. It wasn't
really a bad snap, bad hand. Oh, it's just it's,
you know, frustrating for them. Yeah, oh that was horrible.
Five s face too. He's just like five touchdowns, almost
four hundred yards. What more could Joe Burrow have done?
And to me, I get it, it's still early, but
(25:28):
one in four means a three game winning streak just
brings you back to five hundred, like now you're digging.
Now you're now you just didn't you just said it?
Did You see how honest he was after the game
talking about how this team is just not ready.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
They're not ready.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
He said they're not a super Bowl caliber team, very
honest about it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He looked frustrated.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
He did everything like you said he could, and he
should have had that game, but the Ravens pulled it out.
I mean, he played big two. Henry's run at the
end put him in position case has big plays like that,
and Joe Burrow's looking that way. You can't give up
a forty plus spot and lose.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I was just going to bring up about Jamar Chase
his tenth reception touchdown for what was it sixty yards
or more? He beat Odell Beckham Junior's record before the
or at the age of twenty five or under, and
I was like, man, he should have paid him while
they could have.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I mean, they're still going to pay.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Him, but you know, it's just that was one of
my observations that I fell for Joe Burrow, Like, I mean, listen,
the guy's making a ton of money. He's a young,
successful guy, but you got to feel for him because
he laid it all out there. I know some people
are go overrated. I like Joe Burrow, and I thought,
you know, it's nice when there's more competition at the division.
(26:41):
I feel like now we're seeing we're seeing the Bengals fall.
You know, what are your thoughts on passion levels versus
showing up your team? In some ways, I don't think
that was Joe Burrow's intent, but you did noticeably see
that he was frustrated with how it panned out. You
saw his body language, you saw his re action, you
saw his expression toward the field goal mishap. I don't
(27:05):
know any c Aaron Rodgers and his body language. You
know what I mean, Like you understand it, but but
do you do you not want to show up your
team in that way? You took the words out of
my mouth. Aaron Rodgers was the first person to come
to mind where even back to his Green Bay days,
he's you know what they always say in baseball, you
never want to see the pitcher like throw his hands
(27:26):
up or get all animated like you're showing up. You're
just going to say that is his sport for sport,
is it different for baseball football? Aaron Rodgers is the
league leader in eye rolls, in eye rolls, and yeah,
looking frustrated, especially this season, you saw that a little
bit understandably, so not criticism, just observation. Made me go hmm.
With Joe Burrow and the Bengals and his honesty at
(27:49):
the end of the game, which is again refreshing at
the same time, I hate all the bs at a
postgame conference, but he straight upset this team is not ready.
You know, well, Danny, let me ask you as we
get we got some Burrow sound We're going to play
in a second. If you're Aaron Rodgers, is that emotion
or is that showing up your team? Because I say
(28:10):
he is the league leader of eye rolling. Like he's
not flailing his arms, he's not visual, but that like
closing your eyes. You know, you frustrated with your kids,
You know when you're frustrated with your wife or kids,
and you can I tell you why it just like
close your eyes. I know you asked, Danny, but before
I got a pee brain right now, so before I forget,
I just think as the leader, we're talking about leaders
of the team like you want to look to those
(28:32):
guys as the guys who were cool under pressure, who
don't waiver, unflappable even when times are tough, they're going
to lead you out of that hole. And when you
see they're frustrated and you see their body language and
their expressions and it's not positive, that doesn't do anything
for the team to rally behind.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
This was exactly our conversation about DeVante Adams at the
start of last week. Remember, especially with leaders like that, Yeah,
you want to be unflappable as much as possible. I
know a lot of guys are gladiators and warriors, and
some of some of the times you can't help the
way a camera might catch you look. But sure, when
it's constant and that's just seems to be your personality.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, it's man, it's starting to get old.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
And think about it, Rich You took the words right
out of my mouth. I was thinking about it. There's
like an unwritten rule. If someone's pitching in baseball and
someone makes an error behind them, you never see the pitcher,
or when you do, it's a big deal because you're
showing up your team if you look frustrated they didn't
play behind you. You're showing up your team. But it
seems like in football I'm seeing a bit of a
(29:36):
different reaction. In the past few weeks. A couple months ago,
the Mets were playing the A's and I specifically remember
Ron Darling talked about this because he played for both teams.
He was calling the pitcher on the A's bush league
because he was showing emotion on an error. And Ron's like,
you don't do that. You don't do that. But you
see that with Rondres, so that will bro you see
(29:56):
that in other situations.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I'm just using them as examples.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I don't th I think it's a good look, maybe
because I'm a baseball fan and that's my thinking over
and that's bleeding over into football. But I also think
these are the guys leading their offense, leading the team.
And I'll give you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's a real life example. Rich.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
When I was a kid, you know, I look up
to my let's say my mom. If I was in
a situation, I saw mom look scared. Guess what I
was scared. But if I saw that mom was cool
because dad was out at work. But if mom was cool,
then I had nothing to worry about. These guys look
up to, especially in Aaron Rodgers, and he's acting like that,
how do you feel confident about winning?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That's why I think it matters. Are they human? Am
I mad at him now? But I think they should
be better than that.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I saw a headline that said Aaron Rodgers and the
Jets need Davante Adams immediately. Would that calm both or
either of them down? Or would that be I think
a really bad mixture. If the Jets still continue to lose,
you would give.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The Jets like a momentary glimmer of like, we're going
to turn it around and then then we'll see, speaking
of DeVonta Adams, things that made you go hmmm. I
kept checking on my phone, Danny. I gotta be honest.
I didn't have my closest eye on some of the
late games because I was watching baseball and football. That
was tough. When the Raiders and Broncos were ten ten,
(31:18):
I was like, oh, this could be a battle. What
happened from that point on?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
You threw a pick that was just gonna say he
got level too, man. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
I at first they threw a flag on it as
he got grabbed and thrown down and you could have
called it holding. They decided to pick the flag up.
It was a one hundred yard interception pick six. It
was a one hundred yard pick six rich and it
was such a bad overthrow by Minshew. And up until
(31:46):
that point, Minshew had played a great game early early on.
Raiders came out first couple of series. They looked great,
their defense looked great, and then it all fell apart
after that one hundred yard pick six.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It was a growing pains though. You know it should
have been seventeen to three instead ten to ten.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
And then it was like the Broncos defense settled in.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
You saw Jordan Love do the same thing, like, oh,
why did he throw that?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's sort of what minshe did in that moment.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Things that made you go home could be in baseball,
could be in football, could be in anything you observed
over the week, and could be in life. Supermarket, I
thought up into that point the highlights I had seen
Danny the Raiders look composed. In fact, Max Crosby was
jokingly barking at bow Nick's being like, yo, Bolly, can't hear?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah? He was having a game.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
He was having a game, having some fun. And then
he was and had his first touchdown. At the start
of the game, I was like, what a weekend? Otani yesterday,
Bowers today, and then sports.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Is crazy like that. It can just it could just
turn on a dime.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Like I said, I was at the two TVs the
forty nine ers, A Mets are winning. It's not my fingers.
They both lost. Hey, before we get too far off
of Burrow and Rogers, something else I observed about Aaron Rodgers. Again,
you appreciate his honesty, but at the same time, like, man,
I don't know if I want to hear that. At
the post game, they asked him about some of the
(33:07):
hits he took, because you saw he looked like he
was in pain a few times, right and anything? Aaron
Rodgers related that you're concerned. I mean, I can't be
the only one that saw that one hit. No, he died,
what happened? And then he's like, ah, but they asked
him about, Hey, did you hear any noise? He goes,
I heard lots of something along the lines if he
(33:28):
heard lots of noises as he went down, it's like
did he rip ass?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Did other bones break? Like?
Speaker 2 (33:34):
What was did he hear something crack? What did he hear.
But what I think is, yeah, either he had an
accident in his pants or like, man, it's just advertising
that he's too old for this. And I don't think
you want to hear that from your starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I just don't.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But it's no shock that he's getting older. Now, I mean,
it's no shock, but man, you waited another year for that.

eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox Iowa Seeham on
the ones and tuesdaan Byer Spotty is also here. Thank
you guys for hanging with us. Hope you had a
great weekend. Now, Rich, before we continue with things that
made you go hmm, yeah, buddy, there were two quarterbacks
in particular. They're not the only ones, but high profile
(36:23):
qbs that people look for leadership look up to, and
that's Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow, and they both visibly
looked annoyed or rattled or upset veterans. Annoyed was a
good theme of this weekend, right, So what did they
have to say about that at the press conferences over
the weekend. Right here, Joe Burrow first, yeh, let's hear Burrow.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
We're not a championship level team right now.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Who we're not?
Speaker 6 (36:51):
You know, I like to think that, you know, we'll
come back and improve throughout the season to get to.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
That point, but right now we are not, and we
have to get better. You know.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I don't want to talk out of both sides where
I'm out, but one of our biggest criticisms sometimes is
players not being honest. So hey, it's honest, but it's like,
oh wow, okay, he was visibly upset. Understandably, dude balked
his ass off three hundred and ninety two yards five tutties.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
And they lose it in the end.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Let's go to all the phone calls and then I
know you have more thoughts in subt Why.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Well, Aaron Rodgers too?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Oh you want to hear Aaron. I'm sorry, let's hear Aaron.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Now, it's blow my standard.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
I just found out I've never thrown two picks in
the first quarter before. So that's the first one of
us costs obviously seven, and the other you know it
could have cost three. So in a game where you
lose by six, you know, plays like that are exponentially highlighted.
So three turnouts for me is definitely out of character.
And I'm disappointed.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
And he spoke like an old guy at the end
of the game, and granted he may be on the field,
but I don't think you ever advertised that. I just
I just don't. I mean, I thought it was over
the top. And he offered the reporters were theirs.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah, he's I think I got him. Chiclets, gum sum were.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Like Jack, perhaps anyone. Let's say we sabby to Eric
in Arizona.
Speaker 9 (38:11):
Hi, Eric, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Boys?
Speaker 9 (38:13):
Happy birthday, Dickie?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Thanks man? What's what made you go this weekend?
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Vikings man five and oh going into the bye weekend,
it's still they're not pulling the kind of respect they should.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
I agree with you, man, they're not.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
So, you know, with with the free agent pickups, say,
you know Van Ginkle and Gilmour, who saved the game
for us, you know, when they're letting off the gas offensively,
defense is picking it up for us to win games.
So just looking for a little more respect for that
five and zero team.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Man some respect on my Nay.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
You know, that's a great question. What's it going to
take well, because everybody's yeah, maybe.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Like eight weeks in which we've kind of established on
our show.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, but they're they're for real. And you know what, Eric,
I appreciate the call. I look at this way.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
We all make our right and wrong predictions. I said
in the beginning of the year, and this is not
a I told you saw. I'm never that type of guy.
But I was confused as to why everyone thought Minnesota
was just gonna be like, oh, bottom feeder of that division.
I was fascinated me. Yeah, you I remember, if you remember,
Sam was like Sam Darnold, I'm the only Sam around here.
(39:17):
And I was like, did they got justin Jefferson, they
got weapons, have a good defense?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Yeah, they were out on a limb, and Sam argued
with me, they're well coached.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I was. I was shocked at because everyone was so
high on Jordan Love, Caleb Williams joining the Bears, and
the Lions were in the NFC Championship. Everyone just discounted
the Vikings and said, yeah, they'll be like five and twelve,
And I remember thinking, I don't know why you think.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
That you know, Aaron Jones did get hurt and they're
crossing their fingers hoping it's not serious.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah, but you know.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
What, five and all pretty good start five and twelve
Now that you go into twelve game losing.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Streaker, got anything that happened.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
But let's say, what's up to Tom and Kentucky? Tommy,
what's up at.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
Happy Birthday? So my things that make the get of
whom are the Buffalo Bills fight all the way back
and then they get your ball at the three yard
line and throw the ball three times and allow the
Houston Texans to come back, kind of making it a
pattern for Sean McDermott and definitely left me shaking.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
My head Tom that decision making. There are times when
you're on your couch and you're like, well, the coaches
must know something I don't know. There are times the
coaches just are are mismanaging the clock and you're like,
what are you doing? Knucklehoods, Like what are you doing
in this moment?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Seriously?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
You know Texans gam position for a field goal, they
pull one out. When I was watching that game, though,
I'm like, man, we're watching two great young quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, did you see how hard Josh Allen hit his head. Yeah,
I did, no doubt. Twenty three to twenty props to
the Texans on that way. Let me let me give
you I'm gonna list five quickies.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Here we go, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Packers sneaking by the Rams, and they're not peaking by
any means. And they're three and two, So if you're
Packers fan, you should be happy that they're sort of staying.
They're not playing their best fo ball by any means,
and they're over five hundred. I think Caleb Williams also
starting to come into his own in that division. They're
three and two floating a little over five hundred. So
you should be happy of you're Bears fan, because you're
starting to see him become the guy they thought.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
You're seeing the confidence grow, for sure.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I got more football observations, but one baseball one right now, Geez,
Louise John Carlos stan might be the slowest man in
Major League Baseball. It was a play where I was like,
how did he not score? Is he the slowes stky
in baseball? You know, you notice it more in the postseason.
It's never really a factor in the regular season. My goodness,
got legs with bricks on it right More next tank

the way tire buying should be well. Enjoy today because
you'll have my full attention because the next two days
the Mets Phillies are on at two oh eight West
Coast Totts, five o'clock on the east side. When I
say we saw some great baseball, I mean it, and
your Mets are a huge part of that. They are
(01:40):
a team. They're not lucky to be there, they deserve
to be there. They're battling the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
What a rivalry.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Two great rivalries, Melli's and Mellies, Mets Phillies. I call
them Mellies. The melly please, I call it the Melle rivalry.
You can roll it that rong. And of course Danny
g My goodness, Manny Machado is so punishable. The Dodgers Padres.
I don't have a nickname for that rivalry, but it's growing,
it's building, and I'm loving it. The Doddres, the Doddre rivalry. Good, yeah,
(02:12):
I thought the coolest moments from the weekend. There were
so many we're gonna go over the things that made
you go hmm. But I have to say when Profar
toyed with everyone and made it seem like, oh, I
missed it. Then he's like Nanny Nanni, poo poony, and
he started moon walking backwards looking at the Dodgers fans,
and he robbed Mookie Bets of a home run that
(02:35):
was playoff baseball. You need more of that type of
stuff and you will get people involved. And by the way,
Mooki Bets needed that he's not hitting too well in
the postseason. That could have been the streak breaker. A
nice home run for the Dodgers for him and a
nice tone setter and robbed in front of the fans.
What a cat. The best part about that, I mean,
(02:56):
Danny's like there was no group part of that. The
best part about that was the announcer was right. I
think it was Joe Davis who's calling your games, which.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, makes sense, feels dirty too because he's unbiased calling
for Fox for both teams, so he's like super excited
for the Padres.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And you know what I've thoughts about this that we've
touched on before. But let me write this down. Be
the announcer game. Something's going on here. But Joe Davis
was saying every stadium should have a low outfield wall
like that because every play would be.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Somewhat I don't think the fans knew that they could
like smack his glove and push him if.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
He goes into the breast stands right.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You know what it's it's the fear of being Steve Bartman.
So everyone just backs on. I'm not getting involved, But
I don't know if Dan Byer saw it. In Milliawak
when Pete A. Lonzo dropped that pop up, there are
people saying, like, how come no one pointed this out?
There was a fan that pushed that screen and sort
of I guess you would say gotten his visuals?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, no, for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
If you if you could interfere with the player and
he's in the crowd, do it. Yeah. But Profar, like
any players in this moment have said, like they've dreamed
about these moments. He said the reason he was so
pumped is because he thought he'd never get that opportunity.
You know, he doesn't normally play the outfield and get
those opportunities to snag one in the playoffs. The way
he did that was an incredible moment.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I think it's also pretty telling that the fans are like,
all right, I'm not going to get thrown out of
this game in the first inning with these great seats
that we have, Like, right, but later on in the
game is fine, after we've taken in a while. But
there's no way I'm gonna get kicked out, right, Yeah,
we'll get through that later. For throwing stuff, yeah, yeah,
throwing stuff in the fields, good, hold off until midway
through outs.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
We're not going to do this in the first though.
I'm was stupid, real exciting baseball man. It makes me
happy as a baseball fan to see that. Yeah, I
know sometimes you got to wait till the postseason for
things to fire up. But nothing better. Some really great excitement,
some great games, And it would have been even more
exciting had the announcers brought more excitement. Yeah, could talk
about that real quick, and then we'll move on. I
(04:55):
want to get to a lot of football from the weekend,
even in college. I mean, people are dragon goalpost for
Miles dumping him in rivers. Congrats to Vanderbilt beating Alabama.
By the way, I hope you had a Diego Pavia
vapto loco from Vanderbilt sort of weekend on on this.
So we'll get to college football, we'll get to NFL.
But one thing about baseball, And we've talked about this
(05:18):
before briefly, so let me just touch on it once again.
Why do we love football in the postseason? As far
as how the games break down, there's a sense of familiarity.
A big CBS AFC game. You know you're getting Jim Nansen,
Tony Romo, NBC, you know you're getting Tariko and Collinsworth. Fox,
(05:40):
you got Burkhrt and now Tom Brady last year Olsen
Monday Night, by the way, and Tom Brady has the
same commercials promoting that he's calling the game. Not many
announcers or broadcasters get their own commercial like you're tuning in.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
To watch now that broadcast.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
When's the difference of Tom Brady when you spend three
hundred million dollars on the guy's contract. Foxes like we're
getting and by the way, those we get our moneyes
thro Those Fox commercials are fantastic. They allude to I mean,
he could retire and get fat on the beach drinking Margarita's.
But he's Tom freaking Brady and he's putting that effort
in and he's taken on his career.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now. The commercials are great.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So my takeaway is that football and basketball they have
the broadcasting crews you know will be there for the
big games. Baseball is a one hundred and sixty two day,
six plus month grind. You have the familiar voices, whether
(06:37):
it's Danny g here and Joe Davis, or Cavino here
and Michael ka or me here and Gary Cohen, Gary
keithan Ron. You get used to your own booth. Some
booths are way better than others. But regardless of who's
the best, it's like chicken soup when you're sick. It's
like it's like that you know burger at the place
in your hometown. It's there's something comfortable about it. When
(07:01):
you get to the postseason and you're mix mashing announcers,
it takes away from otherwise ridiculously exciting baseball. You get
that on the radio side, fortunately right, but you lose
it on the TV side. As a broadcaster we notice it,
but as a casual fan you notice it because social
media destroyed Bob Costas over the weekend. I feel bad
(07:23):
even saying that because I respect him as a sports legend,
but he's not the Yankees guy. Not only was it off,
his calls were off, but the sound mix was off.
Every time they talked, it drowned out the crowd and
you barely heard it, and again took away from the
overall excitement that we were all watching. Whatever. The Dodgers
padres on. I believe that FS one right. Yeah, and
(07:43):
the Mets Phillies run Fox. They had their sound right.
And I'm not saying that because run Fox Sports Radio.
We have no affiliation with Fox. Base offis one, now, Yeah,
they had the sound mix right, TBS. They did not
Bob Costas and run Darling. Some thing was off with
the mix. You're so noticeable. It sounded dead. Crickets radio silence,
(08:06):
and meanwhile you see the crowd cheering because the Yankees
just scored or a home run was hit, and you
hear them talking over it. It rounded out all the
crowd noise.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You can hate the Yankees, but let there be no confusion.
We all know Yankee Stadium in October is a loud place,
and that broadcast stunk, It really did, and it didn't
help put it that way, The game itself is what
carried the excitement. So I've said it before, and I
saw a great piece in Sports Illustrated about how could
we incorporate local broadcasters into the playoffs, because guess what,
(08:39):
you don't want Michael k calling another game he should
be calling the Yankees game. Joe Davis, luckily in Duaye
lined up. He got the Dodgers game, so that was
a little sound of comfort for Dodgers fans in West
Coast Baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Comfort Rich a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But then you have to hear him screaming and shouting
praises for the Padres. So it's strange anyways, right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Right, There's there's more to it. How about knowledgeable?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They follow that team the whole year, so they're more
invested and more knowledgeable. And you're mixing these dudes up
calling for teams they don't normally call for.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He's ready to hear Ron Darling, you know, calling a
Yankees game when he should be calling the Mets games.
As simple as that.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Rich, you said last week, put a Padres guy next
to Joe Davis and let him scream about the Padres.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's my answer.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And and by the way, that's not to say they're
not capable, Rich, but you're not getting the same quality
there that you could have been getting. I agree with you.
Ron Darling is great, but you know where he's great
with Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen calling the Mets. I
think he's great regardless, but he's even better when he's
calling the Mets. That's that's fair, right. Michael kay seemed
(09:45):
out of place not calling a Yankees game. In fact,
there was social media hate everywhere. But the simple point
is we want to hear familiar voices in baseball. For
some reason. It's a great radio and great TV sport.
As far as broadcasters being part of your daily life,
every see only sport where every team has their own guy.
Every other sports does not. Well, some great baseball, some
(10:08):
great football, which we're gonna get to. Things that made
you go home. We do it every week. Week five
made us go hmm. But Rich, the birthday boy, you
got to tell us about the worst two minutes of
your weekend. So when it comes to the weekend of
baseball and football, and again we're gonna take your phone calls.
Things that made you go, hmmm, Week five of the
(10:28):
NFL and some baseball will throw it all together. There
were two minutes. You know, me, I have the Big
Game TV, as we point out, what gets the big screen? Right,
Rich has two TVs. And by the way, did you
see we hit our solar power parlay for the second
week in a row, three for three parlay. Congrats where
if we're feeling it, we're in the zone. Now I
(10:49):
have the Mets and the forty nine ers. That was
the crowd noise from the Yankee game the other day. Yeah,
that's all you heard. And the game winning line drive
playvor tours and the Yankees take the league Andism scores.
Good job.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
The Yankees take the lead.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Like what but Bob Costas his call was even weak,
like he would have scored anyway the ball, but the
ball got by him. Man, Yankees up six to five. Meanwhile,
Justism almost knocked the Empire over. Exciting play man. Yeah,
so you know it as Rich credit to the games
because they were exciting were Yeah, no, no doubt, But
(11:31):
I know as I was in a unique scenario. But
this is just really funny because I'm not a big
birthday guy, But today's my birthday. So yesterday I was like,
he's a birthday guy. Would it be a nice little
treat if the forty nine Ers and Mets who were
playing side by side of my TV doesn't.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Mean you not a big birthday guy? Yeah? You don't
want day guy? Yeah? He actually he doesn't want the attention. Right, Oh,
it's my birthday.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Meanwhile, the other three hundred and sixty four days of
the year, the guy's lighting his farts on fire because
he wants attention. But today is birthday. Hits on, mister
humble guy, don't make a big deal about my birthday.
Associated you are such an attention seeking guy. I don't
dispute that every other day of the year except for
the one day that you should be getting it. I
just feel like I always associated people that made a
(12:12):
big deal about their birthdays as women or children. Yeah,
because they don't want it every single day like you do.
I don't understanding on social media women. Davis, the biggest
attention seeker of anyone I ever met, got into radio
not because he likes sports, not because he likes music,
because he likes attention. Self admitted the one day where
(12:33):
it's understood that he gets attention his birthday.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He doesn't want.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I just think it's like a girly like a child move,
like a twelve year old birth birthday. Like what do
I care? It's my birthday? You know what? I want
my because it's money easy?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Is it because it's too easy? Do you think that's it?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like it's just I like to work for my Yeah
like that, yeah, like is that why?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
It's just like it's like the automatic, like you're like,
this really doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
This is like it's like a bide money.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You know what, tim By, you just dissected my personality
and to it, I didn't earn it. I feel like
the other day is I try to earn the laugh
I try to earn the phone call, the funny text,
the tweet, like the feedback we get. I want to
earn it. I don't like like the fact that I
have thousands of like notifications on social media that I
have to now be like it's just a symbol that
your youth is slipping. Not just you, it's just that
(13:20):
yearly reminder that you're getting older. I just don't like that.
And I also maybe don't like that I'm a mid
forties now, yeah, anyway, maybe I have something so but anyway,
I'm not a big birthday guy. But I did say,
would it be a nice little birthday treat if the
Niners and the Mets both got a w On the
Sunday before my birthday, I have the TV's on. At
the same time, I'm switching back and forth between the
(13:41):
volume Niners, Cardinals, Mets, Phillies and what's that book you're
read as a kid. Somebody's no good, very bad day,
Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. That Rich
Davis's awful two minutes? Can we just do that instead?
And it has nothing to do with me in the bedroom,
That's not what she said. The Rich Dave is very
bad two minutes. I don't love if this is dawned
(14:03):
on anyone except me, because it shouldn't because who cares.
But within a two minute period, the forty nine Ers
lost and the Mets gave up the game winning hit
to the Phillies. So while I have both games on,
I'm like, come on, but when I tell you, no joke?
Within two minutes on the left TV Brock pretty interception
(14:23):
games over ah Son of a. Then I look to
the right TV. I'm like, all right, well six six,
maybe the Mets could and castianto. So I'm like, you
son of something literally within I bet you if you
look at the time stamp switch, you don't need to
be that boring to go do that. But if you did,
I guarantee you it's within two minutes. Because I react,
I turned to my wife's crying.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I turned to my wife and I'm like, yeah, that
was probably, like, like really at the worst two minutes
of sports in a long time for me, Like my
football team and my baseball team both lost important games
within a minute of each other. Yeah, winning Honestly, That's
when I did think of you, Rich and I did think,
you know, which is onto something with that extra TV,
because I felt like I hated the back and forth
(15:05):
of my phone in the TV right trying to watch
all the games, trying to watch baseball and football. So
I thought of you in that moment. Well, I've done
the worst foes Walmart, and there's no sponsorship for them.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Who cares.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You could get it anywhere, but Walmart right now has
a Roku fifty inch TV for one eighty nine thirty
dollars TV stand for like two hundred bucks. I wheel
in the fifty inch TV every Sunday gives you an
extra look, why not for that for that one game?
Throw it in the guest bedroom, thrown in your kids
are in whatever, just it's it makes sense. But I
(15:38):
think the best setup is if you have a guest bedroom.
It goes in like the guest bedroom when you're not
using it, and then wheel it out when you are. Yeah,
there you go. But it did spur a lot of thoughts,
even though both of my team's lost. Which loss bothered
me more, and that was the forty nine ers because
(16:00):
the Mets they should have lost Game one. Wheeler was dealing.
The Phillies made a big mistake by taking him out
of the game. They should never have taken Zach Wheeler
out of that game, agreed, So you could almost argue
the Mets stole Game one and probably should have won
Game two. Soy Julie, Philadelphia going back to Queen's tied
one one much like the Dodgers, Danny, you dropped one
(16:21):
at home, but one one who cares right, newc Now
it's a best of three.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, o.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Taani looked like Superman. In game one and then went
back to Clark Kent in game two.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I he got big time by his childhood hero, you
Darvish his mind. You Darvish is still the guy. And
it's like his Dwight goodin Yeah he was Showhy's daddy
yesterday he really was in a best of five or
seven one to one. It's almost like, all right, it's
almost like a push. Nothing happened. Now it's the best
of three instead of a best of five. Maybe your
(16:51):
Yankees jump out two. Well, today we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But the forty nine ers now have lost a second
game to an inferior team when they were up big
and they just let it slip away. There's something about
the Niners team this year. You could say, whoa McCaffrey. No,
they have this inability to step on the throat of
an opponent when they're down, like twenty three to ten,
(17:15):
put the bat of their misery, do something. The Niners
let these teams hang around, make a final quarter, fourth
quarter mistake, they don't finish. The team rams and now, yeah, dB,
you could argue that the forty nine Ers could and
should very well be four and one. Kyler Murray played
a pretty good game too, though, Man, he looked quick
against your defense. They were an anthet they were a
(17:35):
Mason fumble, and if you go back to the Rams game,
a Ronnie Bell opened drop, there are two plays away
from easily being four and one games they had control of.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Yeah, if some bots candy and nuts, yeah, I mean,
I'd say it flippantly, but it's true because those things
didn't happen to the forty nine ers previously, because they
were maybe up ten in those games instead of up
six without a kicker or or you know this area
that then ended up playing out yesterday. I am curious
from your perspective because I was on the air during
that those games, because the forty nine ers had their
(18:09):
kicking situation without Jake Moody. Were you surprised when the
Cardinals went for two to get within two at that time?
And the reason that I'm asking is because two reasons.
Number one, there's been a trend in the NFL where
you will see this teams going for two in case
they may need it later on and you have that opportunity,
but it's usually a two touchdown game. Here, it was
(18:33):
a difference between a field goal like, if they don't
make it for two, they have to score a touchdown
instead of it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It was wild. They were you know, ballsy move paid
off for.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Them, Yes, and it was.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
And I thought it was because the Niners didn't have
their kicker because Moody wasn't available where they knew that
San Francisco was not going to be able to really
kick anything. They would have to score a touchdown to
really put any more points on the board, so they
wanted to keep that two point edge because that was
eleven minutes left.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And I thought that there was such a crucial decision
in the game.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
And when I'm on the air, I'm reacting live to it,
and then I think about it, I'm like, well, Jesus,
that game went to overtime. The Niners really would have
been screwed because they would have been able to have
a kicker to kick a field goal.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Ya, it's an area, so listen, you watch a team
like the Niners. Now, I'm not believe it or not.
I'm not concerned as a fan yet because at two
and three, dan Byer Seahawks are three and two and
they play on Thursday night, and if the Niners bounce
back and win on Thursday. It's everyone in that division.
It's five lower and it's like panic because there's no
one that dominates unless the Vikings are the real deal.
(19:36):
No panic button yet. But man, talk about a team
that is not capitalizing on these early season games that
they should be winning. If the forty nine ers slide
in it like ten and seven, it's because they, let
you know, they let the early part of their schedule
really screw them over. And speaking of other dominant teams,
the Chiefs tonight, I want to remain undefeated.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But things that made you go hmm, week five, Yeah,
we dive into that next. It could be in the
world of football or baseball. Any observations you made, anything,

Darvis shutting down the Dodger sort of weekend, lots of
great foodsball, a New York Football giant sort of weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I was surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I was absolutely surprised by the Giants dB. I'm guessing
you were watching that one a little closer. That was
in the late game, so I had the Mets and
the Niners going on. What was the story the Seahawks
off week or the Giants delivering? Well, it's tough.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Because we're on the air at that time, so actually
you have to follow all four of the games, so
not as locked in to the games. But Gino Smith
was sacked in with sacks seven times in the game. Turnovers,
Giants dominated, possession, Giants ran the ball well. Seahawks defense
couldn't get off the field and then you can't block
a field goal attempt, so they still had a chance
to tie it at the end and couldn't get done. Still,
(22:33):
don't know how good the Seahawks are. You know, they
up until that point they had beaten everybody. They should
have lost to the lines in that tough one. Thursday
will be a real test.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, Thursday nine or Seahawks might be honestly the best
Thursday night game as far as like significant so far. Sure,
anybody wake up early to watch the Jets Vikings for
Do you see our boss in the crowd or the mustache? No,
our boss was was there. Yeah, I know he was there,
but I didn't see him in the crowd. It will
shot him with a mustache. He was so fired up
(23:02):
about the Vikings winning he growled out a mustache like
he pushed out a school. I think if he screamed
scoll like, a mustache just comes in. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
No, it's actually really funny.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
But anyway, hope all your team's won. Hope you enjoyed
your football, your baseball action pack weekend. For sure, We're
Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Let's go to
DP for an update and then things that made you go,
what's up down here?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
The Detroit Tigers just got out of a jam. Derek
Scouball hadn't allow of hit entering the fifth inning, but
the Guardians got one off of him, and then he
hit it better, so they had first and second with
one out, but an inning ending double play four six ' three,
and the Tigers and Guardians remained scoreless through five innings
of play. Guardian's up one oho on the best of
five series. Cavino's Yankees and the Royals play at seven
(23:46):
thirty Eastern time, as the Yanks are up one to
zero in that series. Raiders said coach Antonio Pierre says
he is still deciding on who will be the starting
quarterback between Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well Colt said.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Coach Shane Steikens says Anthony Richardson will be his starting
quarterback when Richardson is healthy. Joe Flacco played in place
of the injured Richardson and yesterday's lost to the Jaguars,
throwing for over three hundred yards and three touchdowns. Texans
wide receiver Nico Collins now considered a week to week
because of a hamstring injury. The Texans are in New
England on Sunday. Niners kicker Jake Moody does have a
high inkle sprain He's gonna miss weeks of action. Arkansas
(24:19):
fined two hundred and fifty grand while Vanderbilt docked one
hundred thousand dollars after their fans ran on the field
following huge upsets this weekend in the SEC. Following their
upset of number one Alabama, Vanderbilt will walking off items
from that game, including pylons and pieces of the goalpost.
Texas says that quinn Ewer's on track to start a
quarterback against Oklahoma on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl as
(24:40):
he returns from an oblique injury.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Guys, back to.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You, thank you, Dan Byer. You know what I feel
the worst for. You know, in fact, let's get into it.
Things that made you go. Hmmm, things that make you go,
Things that make you go when you have a game
like Joe Burrow did and you're trying to dig yourself
back into the season and you lose a close ot
(25:05):
game like that on a bad handle snap. It wasn't
really a bad snap, bad hand. Oh, it's just it's,
you know, frustrating for them. Yeah, oh that was horrible.
Five s face too. He's just like five touchdowns, almost
four hundred yards. What more could Joe Burrow have done?
And to me, I get it, it's still early, but
(25:28):
one in four means a three game winning streak just
brings you back to five hundred, like now you're digging.
Now you're now you just didn't you just said it?
Did You see how honest he was after the game
talking about how this team is just not ready.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
They're not ready.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
He said they're not a super Bowl caliber team, very
honest about it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He looked frustrated.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
He did everything like you said he could, and he
should have had that game, but the Ravens pulled it out.
I mean, he played big two. Henry's run at the
end put him in position case has big plays like that,
and Joe Burrow's looking that way. You can't give up
a forty plus spot and lose.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I was just going to bring up about Jamar Chase
his tenth reception touchdown for what was it sixty yards
or more? He beat Odell Beckham Junior's record before the
or at the age of twenty five or under, and
I was like, man, he should have paid him while
they could have.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I mean, they're still going to pay.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Him, but you know, it's just that was one of
my observations that I fell for Joe Burrow, Like, I mean, listen,
the guy's making a ton of money. He's a young,
successful guy, but you got to feel for him because
he laid it all out there. I know some people
are go overrated. I like Joe Burrow, and I thought,
you know, it's nice when there's more competition at the division.
(26:41):
I feel like now we're seeing we're seeing the Bengals fall.
You know, what are your thoughts on passion levels versus
showing up your team? In some ways, I don't think
that was Joe Burrow's intent, but you did noticeably see
that he was frustrated with how it panned out. You
saw his body language, you saw his re action, you
saw his expression toward the field goal mishap. I don't
(27:05):
know any c Aaron Rodgers and his body language. You
know what I mean, Like you understand it, but but
do you do you not want to show up your
team in that way? You took the words out of
my mouth. Aaron Rodgers was the first person to come
to mind where even back to his Green Bay days,
he's you know what they always say in baseball, you
never want to see the pitcher like throw his hands
(27:26):
up or get all animated like you're showing up. You're
just going to say that is his sport for sport,
is it different for baseball football? Aaron Rodgers is the
league leader in eye rolls, in eye rolls, and yeah,
looking frustrated, especially this season, you saw that a little
bit understandably, so not criticism, just observation. Made me go hmm.
With Joe Burrow and the Bengals and his honesty at
(27:49):
the end of the game, which is again refreshing at
the same time, I hate all the bs at a
postgame conference, but he straight upset this team is not ready.
You know, well, Danny, let me ask you as we
get we got some Burrow sound We're going to play
in a second. If you're Aaron Rodgers, is that emotion
or is that showing up your team? Because I say
(28:10):
he is the league leader of eye rolling. Like he's
not flailing his arms, he's not visual, but that like
closing your eyes. You know, you frustrated with your kids,
You know when you're frustrated with your wife or kids,
and you can I tell you why it just like
close your eyes. I know you asked, Danny, but before
I got a pee brain right now, so before I forget,
I just think as the leader, we're talking about leaders
of the team like you want to look to those
(28:32):
guys as the guys who were cool under pressure, who
don't waiver, unflappable even when times are tough, they're going
to lead you out of that hole. And when you
see they're frustrated and you see their body language and
their expressions and it's not positive, that doesn't do anything
for the team to rally behind.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
This was exactly our conversation about DeVante Adams at the
start of last week. Remember, especially with leaders like that, Yeah,
you want to be unflappable as much as possible. I
know a lot of guys are gladiators and warriors, and
some of some of the times you can't help the
way a camera might catch you look. But sure, when
it's constant and that's just seems to be your personality.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, it's man, it's starting to get old.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
And think about it, Rich You took the words right
out of my mouth. I was thinking about it. There's
like an unwritten rule. If someone's pitching in baseball and
someone makes an error behind them, you never see the pitcher,
or when you do, it's a big deal because you're
showing up your team if you look frustrated they didn't
play behind you. You're showing up your team. But it
seems like in football I'm seeing a bit of a
(29:36):
different reaction. In the past few weeks. A couple months ago,
the Mets were playing the A's and I specifically remember
Ron Darling talked about this because he played for both teams.
He was calling the pitcher on the A's bush league
because he was showing emotion on an error. And Ron's like,
you don't do that. You don't do that. But you
see that with Rondres, so that will bro you see
(29:56):
that in other situations.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I'm just using them as examples.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I don't th I think it's a good look, maybe
because I'm a baseball fan and that's my thinking over
and that's bleeding over into football. But I also think
these are the guys leading their offense, leading the team.
And I'll give you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It's a real life example. Rich.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
When I was a kid, you know, I look up
to my let's say my mom. If I was in
a situation, I saw mom look scared. Guess what I
was scared. But if I saw that mom was cool
because dad was out at work. But if mom was cool,
then I had nothing to worry about. These guys look
up to, especially in Aaron Rodgers, and he's acting like that,
how do you feel confident about winning?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That's why I think it matters. Are they human? Am
I mad at him now? But I think they should
be better than that.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I saw a headline that said Aaron Rodgers and the
Jets need Davante Adams immediately. Would that calm both or
either of them down? Or would that be I think
a really bad mixture. If the Jets still continue to lose,
you would give.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The Jets like a momentary glimmer of like, we're going
to turn it around and then then we'll see, speaking
of DeVonta Adams, things that made you go hmmm. I
kept checking on my phone, Danny. I gotta be honest.
I didn't have my closest eye on some of the
late games because I was watching baseball and football. That
was tough. When the Raiders and Broncos were ten ten,
(31:18):
I was like, oh, this could be a battle. What
happened from that point on?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
You threw a pick that was just gonna say he
got level too, man. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
I at first they threw a flag on it as
he got grabbed and thrown down and you could have
called it holding. They decided to pick the flag up.
It was a one hundred yard interception pick six. It
was a one hundred yard pick six rich and it
was such a bad overthrow by Minshew. And up until
(31:46):
that point, Minshew had played a great game early early on.
Raiders came out first couple of series. They looked great,
their defense looked great, and then it all fell apart
after that one hundred yard pick six.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It was a growing pains though. You know it should
have been seventeen to three instead ten to ten.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
And then it was like the Broncos defense settled in.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
You saw Jordan Love do the same thing, like, oh,
why did he throw that?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's sort of what minshe did in that moment.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Things that made you go home could be in baseball,
could be in football, could be in anything you observed
over the week, and could be in life. Supermarket, I
thought up into that point the highlights I had seen
Danny the Raiders look composed. In fact, Max Crosby was
jokingly barking at bow Nick's being like, yo, Bolly, can't hear?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah? He was having a game.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
He was having a game, having some fun. And then
he was and had his first touchdown. At the start
of the game, I was like, what a weekend? Otani yesterday,
Bowers today, and then sports.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Is crazy like that. It can just it could just
turn on a dime.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Like I said, I was at the two TVs the
forty nine ers, A Mets are winning. It's not my fingers.
They both lost. Hey, before we get too far off
of Burrow and Rogers, something else I observed about Aaron Rodgers. Again,
you appreciate his honesty, but at the same time, like, man,
I don't know if I want to hear that. At
the post game, they asked him about some of the
(33:07):
hits he took, because you saw he looked like he
was in pain a few times, right and anything? Aaron
Rodgers related that you're concerned. I mean, I can't be
the only one that saw that one hit. No, he died,
what happened? And then he's like, ah, but they asked
him about, Hey, did you hear any noise? He goes,
I heard lots of something along the lines if he
(33:28):
heard lots of noises as he went down, it's like
did he rip ass?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Did other bones break? Like?
Speaker 2 (33:34):
What was did he hear something crack? What did he hear.
But what I think is, yeah, either he had an
accident in his pants or like, man, it's just advertising
that he's too old for this. And I don't think
you want to hear that from your starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I just don't.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But it's no shock that he's getting older. Now, I mean,
it's no shock, but man, you waited another year for that.

Happy birthday to Rich Davis at Rich Davis at Covino
and Rich Danny G's on the phone super producing at
eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox Iowa Seeham on
the ones and tuesdaan Byer Spotty is also here. Thank
you guys for hanging with us. Hope you had a
great weekend. Now, Rich, before we continue with things that
made you go hmm, yeah, buddy, there were two quarterbacks
in particular. They're not the only ones, but high profile
(36:23):
qbs that people look for leadership look up to, and
that's Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow, and they both visibly
looked annoyed or rattled or upset veterans. Annoyed was a
good theme of this weekend, right, So what did they
have to say about that at the press conferences over
the weekend. Right here, Joe Burrow first, yeh, let's hear Burrow.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
We're not a championship level team right now.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Who we're not?
Speaker 6 (36:51):
You know, I like to think that, you know, we'll
come back and improve throughout the season to get to.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
That point, but right now we are not, and we
have to get better. You know.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I don't want to talk out of both sides where
I'm out, but one of our biggest criticisms sometimes is
players not being honest. So hey, it's honest, but it's like,
oh wow, okay, he was visibly upset. Understandably, dude balked
his ass off three hundred and ninety two yards five tutties.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
And they lose it in the end.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Let's go to all the phone calls and then I
know you have more thoughts in subt Why.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Well, Aaron Rodgers too?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Oh you want to hear Aaron. I'm sorry, let's hear Aaron.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Now, it's blow my standard.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
I just found out I've never thrown two picks in
the first quarter before. So that's the first one of
us costs obviously seven, and the other you know it
could have cost three. So in a game where you
lose by six, you know, plays like that are exponentially highlighted.
So three turnouts for me is definitely out of character.
And I'm disappointed.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
And he spoke like an old guy at the end
of the game, and granted he may be on the field,
but I don't think you ever advertised that. I just
I just don't. I mean, I thought it was over
the top. And he offered the reporters were theirs.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah, he's I think I got him. Chiclets, gum sum were.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Like Jack, perhaps anyone. Let's say we sabby to Eric
in Arizona.
Speaker 9 (38:11):
Hi, Eric, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Boys?
Speaker 9 (38:13):
Happy birthday, Dickie?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Thanks man? What's what made you go this weekend?
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Vikings man five and oh going into the bye weekend,
it's still they're not pulling the kind of respect they should.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
I agree with you, man, they're not.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
So, you know, with with the free agent pickups, say,
you know Van Ginkle and Gilmour, who saved the game
for us, you know, when they're letting off the gas offensively,
defense is picking it up for us to win games.
So just looking for a little more respect for that
five and zero team.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Man some respect on my Nay.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
You know, that's a great question. What's it going to
take well, because everybody's yeah, maybe.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Like eight weeks in which we've kind of established on
our show.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, but they're they're for real. And you know what, Eric,
I appreciate the call. I look at this way.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
We all make our right and wrong predictions. I said
in the beginning of the year, and this is not
a I told you saw. I'm never that type of guy.
But I was confused as to why everyone thought Minnesota
was just gonna be like, oh, bottom feeder of that division.
I was fascinated me. Yeah, you I remember, if you remember,
Sam was like Sam Darnold, I'm the only Sam around here.
(39:17):
And I was like, did they got justin Jefferson, they
got weapons, have a good defense?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Yeah, they were out on a limb, and Sam argued
with me, they're well coached.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I was. I was shocked at because everyone was so
high on Jordan Love, Caleb Williams joining the Bears, and
the Lions were in the NFC Championship. Everyone just discounted
the Vikings and said, yeah, they'll be like five and twelve,
And I remember thinking, I don't know why you think.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
That you know, Aaron Jones did get hurt and they're
crossing their fingers hoping it's not serious.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah, but you know.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
What, five and all pretty good start five and twelve
Now that you go into twelve game losing.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Streaker, got anything that happened.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
But let's say, what's up to Tom and Kentucky? Tommy,
what's up at.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
Happy Birthday? So my things that make the get of
whom are the Buffalo Bills fight all the way back
and then they get your ball at the three yard
line and throw the ball three times and allow the
Houston Texans to come back, kind of making it a
pattern for Sean McDermott and definitely left me shaking.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
My head Tom that decision making. There are times when
you're on your couch and you're like, well, the coaches
must know something I don't know. There are times the
coaches just are are mismanaging the clock and you're like,
what are you doing? Knucklehoods, Like what are you doing
in this moment?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Seriously?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
You know Texans gam position for a field goal, they
pull one out. When I was watching that game, though,
I'm like, man, we're watching two great young quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, did you see how hard Josh Allen hit his head. Yeah,
I did, no doubt. Twenty three to twenty props to
the Texans on that way. Let me let me give
you I'm gonna list five quickies.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Here we go, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Packers sneaking by the Rams, and they're not peaking by
any means. And they're three and two, So if you're
Packers fan, you should be happy that they're sort of staying.
They're not playing their best fo ball by any means,
and they're over five hundred. I think Caleb Williams also
starting to come into his own in that division. They're
three and two floating a little over five hundred. So
you should be happy of you're Bears fan, because you're
starting to see him become the guy they thought.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
You're seeing the confidence grow, for sure.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I got more football observations, but one baseball one right now, Geez,
Louise John Carlos stan might be the slowest man in
Major League Baseball. It was a play where I was like,
how did he not score? Is he the slowes stky
in baseball? You know, you notice it more in the postseason.
It's never really a factor in the regular season. My goodness,
got legs with bricks on it right More next tank
