Cavino and Rich. Now, Thursdays are always action packed because
we throw it back. We reminisce and we go old
(02:08):
school and fifty hits. So about forty six minutes from now,
almost we're going to talk about life changing launches, because
today is an anniversary. We'll explain life changing launches. It
could be anything. Yeah, we'll explain don't wantaches. And of
course we'll talk some NFL, say lunches or launch it launches, launches, lunches,
(02:31):
Hall of Fame game tonight, so a lot of NFL.
And whenever we don't fit into today's show will be
on over Promise. Our bonus podcast, Episode fifty seven will
debut right after this show at four pm on the West,
seven pm on the East. I had a really great
chicken salid sandwich today. No, no launches, Oh not lunch launches.
Oh got it. Yeah, we'll do that in forty six minutes. Well,
(02:53):
look at this, we're on the pulse of whatever one's
talking about because I just saw an article on social
media and it's what I actually wanted to just start
with real quick. Can I guess yeah, Pete Rose, No, no,
but that I'm gonna watch it this weekend. Can I
guess you told me it was all?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Italian Boxers Olympic fulge. No, these are all great guesses
to a girl. No, I'm out of guess. I told
you Pete Rose was awesome, like last weekend you did.
I finally watched it. You were right. I don't know.
It's a bigger tragedy. Pete Rose not in the Hall
of Fame or this boxing story in the Olympics. Both terrible. Both.
I'll save it for our patriot. You don't want to
(03:31):
ruffle feathers. No, I'm gonna have fun. I agree, But
there is something so crazy about it. When a woman
gets on the knee and she dips out after like
less than a minute. That's a problem. That's all I'll say. Well,
she's saying unjust and the videos heart wrenching. Did you
see the Italian boxer has been offered this is not
a joke, a contract by Jake Paul No to be
the undercard of his next fight. Her name is Angela
(03:54):
Karini and she quit forty seconds forty six seconds into
the broken nose, said she's never been hit that hard
ever in her life. And she was fighting Emaine Khalif,
who has the x Y chromosome, and some gender questions
at the Olympics. But the Italian boxer that had to
(04:14):
dip away forty seconds into the fight. Well, yeah, that's
a great way to end the story. Jake Paul said, Hey,
my next big event, my next big pay per view,
I want you to be on the undercard and fight
a woman and makes some flow. So that's great silver
lining to this. That might be the first thing Jake
Paul's done. You agree with. It's just tough to train
(04:35):
your whole life. As Jerry Seinfeld said, you've been training
since you were a fetus. That's what he says. This
special right and his whole joke is first place, greatest
person in the world. Second, second place. You lost by
a nose. Never heard of him, Yeah, never heard of him.
That's the world. Never heard of him, never heard of them.
But you trained so hard to get the dip only
to deal. Let's just say with this controversy, you know,
(04:57):
it's it's really sort of tough to see, but that
is a headline people are probably seeing today. But tonight,
I say that respectfully. My favorite song from the late
eighties Tonight is Jow nighte Bro. Tonight is JR Night
Bron Danny DeVito. You're singing as Danny Devitou. I was
remember the Wins movie. Of course, tonight zero points, zero
(05:23):
starters likely to play, but the NFL does kick off
the Hall of Fame game. As the meme goes, tell
your wives and girlfriends that don't like football, I'm sorry, honey.
Football's here until after Valentine's Day. So we're buckled up.
We're going tonight. Now. I saw an article out of
the Washington Post and it was exactly what I was thinking.
I saw a lot of articles, But did you read it?
(05:45):
Is the question? Oh, you know, I read it until
they tell me I need to subscribe. The new kickoff
format will be the star of the NFL's preseason because
the reality is Aaron Rodgers spoke about it yesterday. Teams
other than Jim not Jim John Harball in Baltimore, most
(06:06):
teams neglect to play the starters. It just doesn't make sense,
injury risks, they don't do it. But what we're gonna
see is the introduction to these new kickoff rules. And
if you don't care about the backups playing trying to
find the spot, there is something interesting there. But I
think seeing how the new kickoff rules affect the game
is such an understated thing people talk about nonsense. There's
(06:26):
people the Tough for an hour about Jason Tatum not
getting minutes. I was listening to some stupid show right
here on Fox Sports Radio. I was talking about saucy
Nugs at Wendy's. That was us. Oh, I'm sorry, that
was our replay. My bad, that was us on the podcast.
But there are people that talk about stuff where I'm like,
who cares? I think this is like one of the
(06:47):
most understated things. Well, there's two parts of it that
I find intriguing. Rich because Rich keeps talking about it,
and I appreciate that Rich because maybe people aren't really
taking notice the strategy strategicy involved, and which teams are
gonna lean into it and sort of shy away from it,
like which teams are gonna put their star players out there,
(07:09):
and which teams don't find it to be that important.
I'm not comparing it to fourth down, but there are
some coaches that are old school traditional that unless it's
fourth and inches or fourth and one, they're not going
for it. They're punting right fourth and one automatically bring
out the punt unit. Other coaches are more risky, they
got more paymost in those situations it could backfire, Allah
Dan Campbell. And then there's other coaches that put more
(07:33):
emphasis on certain things, and I think you're going to
see that. There are some teams that are spending a
lot of time figuring out how can we change the
game with field position using these new kicking rules, and
other teams might just put on the back burner, like
all right, special teams, you're good, aren't good? And you'll
see exhibit A tonight. And what do you think you'll see?
(07:54):
I think I mean, listen, the thing is, are you
you hope like a real game? I mean the hope
is less injuries, more excitement, which is like what the
goal is for anything in any sport, right, more excitement,
less injuries. There's penalties for touchbacks that haste great less feeling,
because what's more boring than anything. Opening kickoff, you see
(08:16):
the quarterbacks start trotting out already because the ball, you know,
is going through the back of the end zone. Yeah
that's weak. Yeah, we gotta get over that. That's the
weakest part of football. They're fixing it. You remember when
the extra point was so automatic that as a kid
you were like, yeah, touchdown seven because the chance of
someone missing an extra point was like, what, no way,
It's like the first two episodes of Cobra Kai this season.
(08:39):
Week we got to get past that. Hopefully it gets better,
like episode three. Get better.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
You're going to see more spacing on the field, so
it's going to resemble more of a punt return.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yes, yes, And again you're fixing two problems like Rich said,
less injury that's the goal, and more excitement because who
cares when the ball trinkles into the end zone. So
the person kicking the ball will start from their thirty
five yard line. Now the return team is a lot
(09:16):
at a minimum of nine and a maximum of ten
between the thirty and thirty five yard line. I don't
want to get into all the you know, the nonsense,
but the point is a touchback now goes back. Am
I wrong to say the thirty five yard line? Well,
if you kick it through the back of the end zone,
I'm pretty sure the team gets the ball at the
thirty five which is pretty awesome field position to just
(09:38):
watch the ball bounce out the back of the end zone.
So teams are not going to just boot it off
the field, and people are going to speculate in debate
if it's thirty yard, if the ball's kicked out of
the end zone, you start up to thirty So that's
five more yards than we're used to. So we're talking
about already there's a penalty essentially for kicking it out
(09:58):
of the end zone. I don't want to compare it
to the changes in baseball in the past few years,
but you still have those debates, say, how do you
like the guy starting at second base in the extra inning?
You like it, and you know some people do and
some people don't. I think he's made the game a
lot better. Little adjustment. You roll with it. I think
it's cool and I think we're going to find this
(10:19):
to be a good change for the NFL. But there
will still be people that complain, I guarantee it. Much
like everything on social media, and as the meme goes,
as the joke goes, you could post a picture of
a stick. People are going to argue about it. Dude,
it's not a stick, that's a branch, and you're gonna
(10:40):
have people fighting over it. People are gonna say, yeah,
this is pretty good, and then there's people are gonna
be like, leave well and the flone this is stupid.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Did yesterday's news of the on side kick no longer
being a surprise bother either of you.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Hmmm, it does take a little bit of the surprise
element away, But on site kicks don't work much more anyway,
And I don't think, not a little bit you have
to announce that you're going to do.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, I think most onside kicks are not a surprise anyway,
because you know the scenario in which you know what
the situation of the story is the Super Bowl time
and you're you know, Sean Pageles know what I'm talking about. Yikes,
I bust out the hands team so that all goes
(11:23):
down tonight. So if you have Thursday night plans, you
do now the Hall of Fame game, and like Rich said,
you're not going to see any superstars, but you're going
to see some of the changes for how which's gonna work.
You're gonna see Tyson Bagent super Bagent Man, who he
talked about this week. He's that young kid who grinds
his face off, that was the quote who we sort
of liked. His mentality of hard work and paying off
(11:46):
and pushing yourself to the limit so that other situations
in life don't seem as bad. So we'll see what
he's all about on the field Bears Texans Tonight football begins,
and any other predictions. Rich Is for stature said, it's
the star of the game. The change is the star
of the game. Right now, the stats are predicting a
(12:07):
five to ten yard difference in starting field position if
teams execute this the way they want. So a lot
of times what old school football, old school meeting. As
of last year, most kickoffs to the back of the
end zone. Quarterbacks are jogging out, they read the starting lineup,
you know, as it's happening. The opening kickoff. How often
(12:27):
is it returned? I felt like never pretty much. They're
saying that the average field position could be in the
thirty yard line range opposed to in the twenty. So
we're looking at a five to ten yard different starting
field position. Now that might affect you're over unders and gambling.
That might affect ball control on you know, field position.
So you know, listen, we'll see. I just think it's
(12:48):
one of the more interesting things in a typically boring,
no starters preseason game. Are you the type of guy
that is just gonna roll with it? You're gonna have
your complaints. I roll with it. I love it. I
thought I would hate baseball rule changes, the pitch clock,
No one cares anymore. The bases, the bases, no one
cares anymore. On second, no one cares anymore. Exactly, I
(13:11):
still don't like the guy on second. You don't see.
That's what I mean. Like, there's always You're never gonna
please everybody. And I understand that. I had that conversation
this week with my uncle Joe. He's still like, I
don't know if I like that. I'm like, you know what,
that's the rule. I'm rolling with it. I'm like, it
just is what it is. I should know this as
a big baseball fan. But keep in mind, my Mets
(13:31):
never make the postseason. Maybe this year crush your fingers
since they put the guy on second base. Am I
wrong or right by saying that in the playoffs? That
is not the case?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
It goes away for the postseason, goes away for the postseason.
During a regular game, like the other day regular game
in July August Yankees Phillies went to extra innings. That
game could have went fifteen sixteen innings. You start with
a guy on second games over in ten or eleven innings,
which is nice like COVID.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
COVID rules like sample cups are no sample cups at
the Froio place, just being lazy. Now it's carried over
even though even post COVID.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, I do want to my last thought on this,
and I'm not the first to bring it up, because
I know teams are thinking about it or the last.
But when I say, think of the most athletic receivers
and running backs on a team, who comes to mind,
like a Deebo Samuel or Tyreek Hill who's got some
who's got some speed, like Justin Jefferson McCaffrey. Are you
(14:29):
gonna see Team metcalf? Yeah? Are you gonna see those
caliber guys lined up in special teams? I know Deebo
Samuel has showed interest because he's like yo with these rules,
imagine Deebo getting the ball before anyone could move. Well,
that's what I was implying when I said the strategy.
You know, certain teams might lean into it, some might not,
(14:52):
and then some might follow suit if it seems to
be working for players like Deebo Samuel, or.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
It could be like a speedster like Xavier the draft
pick of the Chiefs. The young receiver who's got wheels.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah again, and you know what, a young guy with
wheels that may not get the reps he wants, but
could contribute more so on special teams than ever before.
What are you running four to two something? Four to
one something? What was he running? Anyway? That dude was quick. Now,
speaking of new rules, Rich, how do you feel about
Bill Maher? Yeah? Girl, No, no, seriously, because I don't
(15:25):
know if everybody in the Fox Sports radio nation is
aware of this rule. So just consider this a friendly
tip from your Bud Cavino trying to save your relationship.
You know, women of today consider you liking photos of
other women on Instagram as cheating. Just simply liking them
is cheating. That's common knowledge to some, but that's a
(15:46):
big no way to others. So if it's someone they
know or like a just know what about spot loving
all the pictures of the girl with the cheese at
the Olympics. Yes, if his wife knew, she'd be mad
about that. Probably. What are you trying to do get
with the cheese girl from the Olympics? About the cheese? Actually,
what's so when you get out of it? Why do
(16:07):
you have to acknowledge Lot's work turned on by the
parmesan wheel night?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Have you?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That's current day flirting, bro, that's you trying to get
the attention of somebody, because in reality, what do you
think your little like is gonna make a difference to
that person? No, you're just hoping that they about who's
that guy? Iowa, sam Ooh he liked my photo? You
just got this weird fantasy that they're gonna eventually look
(16:31):
you up and say, hey hot. You know what it is.
It's modern day beeping at a girl and driving away.
What about like, do you think they're gonna do chase you?
Fire emoji? You're like those you know the side eyes
where you're like, oh, you ask any young woman of
today if you like other women's photos. It's the new
rule that's cheating in today's world. An older guy and
you don't even have to be a old You're like,
(16:52):
what do you mean? I didn't touch anybody? I didn't
do anything. So get used to the new rules everybody world.
So when when it comes to new rules and we
wrap it up with these bullet points for you again,
Hall of Fame game, tonight, are you how pumped. Are
you about this? I'm pret pumped. Yeah, I would be
zero pumped if there weren't these kickoff rills. I'm like,
(17:14):
you're gonna crack one open tonight, little brew hah? Like,
are you wearing your beer helmet? I'm gonna are you
wearing a forty nine ers no football gear? I looked
at my fridge and I only have the weak flavors
of Seltzer because every time Cavino comes up of my
house to watch a game, do you know what he does?
Do you know this trick? Yeah, bring grapefruits. Could you know?
Takes all three flavors that he doesn't like, and he'll
(17:37):
bring those to someone's house to watch the gamer fight. Honestly,
I think it's that kind of night. I don't think
you bust open your your favorite craft beer. Are you
pro grapefruit? I don't. I don't think you busting in
your ipa. No, if you don't like gripple, come to
my house. I don't like the griful hell though I
have the best mixer of all. Tell guess what I
got plenty for you next? Come over my house because
my fridge has twenty five of them. I don't see.
(17:57):
I think tonight you get to the couch Bear Texans,
You're like, oh, let's check out these new rules. Let's
check out Tyson Pagent. I think tonight is like you
bust over bust open that week, ass truly that you
have in the back of your fridge, the random Bury
one from two summers ago. That's in the back. It's
one of those. Now we have breaking MLB news from
(18:17):
Dan Byer. Let's get to that. That will wrap up
the NFL move on dB. What's going on? Breaking news
from Fox Sports, guys.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I didn't want to interrupt the momentum that you are having,
but there is breaking news with baseball and the Angels
have confirmed that Mike Trout will not play again this season,
suffering another meniscus tear in his knee. There was a
question after he was pulled from that rehab start earlier
this week, but GM Perry Manassian has set another meniscus
tear for Mike Trout, so he is done for the season.
Hasn't played since early May.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That sucking, you know what, I know what I fear
about Mike Trout. Remember how Ken Griffy Junior probably would
have broken every Major League baseball record if injuries didn't
plague him in the second part of his career. Horse
he was never the same thing with the red Mike
Trout's not banged up as a as a Griffy junior.
But you know a couple of seasons here and there
that he could have been putting up big numbers to
add to those numbers that would have competed. Speaking of numbers,
(19:10):
twenty nine games this year still had ten home runs.
Remember he started off hot fourteen RBI and he batted
to twenty which sucks, but overall to ninety nine lifetime. Yeah,
so only twenty nine games. That sucks when you see
a dude like that go down, because I mean, he's
just great for baseball.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Last time, guys that he's played more than one hundred
and twenty games twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So the decline, we're entering
that territory of you know, to me, he was a
lock for like six hundred and five hundred home runs
I call the fame, which I'm sure he still is,
but he's slowing down. How many? My god? dB, that's
a great point all right now. If you're the casual
fan and I wouldn't consider myself a casual baseball fan
(19:55):
at all. Twenty nineteen, like dB just said, All Star year,
he had a hundred and thirty four games. That sounds good, right,
Still missed a lot though, twenty twenty fifty three games
COVID year, so sorter schedule, no, no, no, I get it,
twenty one thirty six games. Then he comes back with
one hundred and nineteen games, but was still missed a
(20:16):
lot missed the third of the season. Eighty two games
last year, twenty nine games this year. That's a lot
of games missed. I didn't realize he missed that many games.
You know why, because I mean he still had decent production.
I didn't realize he missed that many games, Like even
the twenty twenty two year he played one hundred and
nineteen games. I'm guessing you around Baseball Reference. Yeah, of
(20:37):
course he's still have anyty home runs. How many MVPs
that look on the right, it's still a little highlighted
next week, cheason, how many MVP stupid advertisement in front
of it? Roll on three three? Yeah, three time MVP,
And I'm gonna guess he's still shy of even four
hundred home runs right, maybe around four hundred. He's at
three seventy eight, fourteen years in the league. What is
(20:58):
thirty one? Thirty two? Mostly you said premature to say
to Griffy analogy, but I didn't realize he was missing
that many games. Well, when you're banged up in your
late twenties early thirties, those are your productive years. So
wishing Mike Trout the best. Yeah, yeah, maybe this is
best for him to you know what, twenty nine games
he's out, relax, enjoy the rest of the season, come
back strong man.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
He's actually thirty two, going to be thirty three next week, so.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
He's got five plus years of good production left if
he comes back healthy next year. So hey, just for
the love of baseball, crush your fingers for Mike Trout.
Breaking news from Dan Bay. You're thanks done for the season.
Thank you deep believe you me.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You didn't break any momentum here on the show, so
you would have to have momentum to break momentum. Yeah, man,
but I will say the things to look out for tonight.
They're saying more returns. Yeah, I would imagine betterfield position.
So you're gonna look at possibly more scoring opportunities uncertainty,
they're saying, because are we going to see a noticeable
score difference? Like, man, scores are way higher than ever
(21:55):
this year. You think it'll be noticeable. Get this in
twenty twenty three less season, HM, eighty eight percent of
drives after the kickoff started between the twenty and thirty
yard line, So eighty we're talking about nine out of
ten drives started between the twenty and thirty just that
same little pocket. Yeah, experimenting in the XFL if you
(22:16):
remember they did this type of kickoff. Of course, thirty
percent of the drive started beyond the thirty one so
one out of three drives the team started in the
thirty five to forty yard range, so beatterfield possis. Oh yeah,
it'll be a game changer, So look out for that
tonight the end. No, man, that's exciting. Life changes tonight.
Everybody enjoy that. And can I say this, when you're
(22:38):
done watching your foozball cracking into your what is that
grape fruit? Truly in the back mixed berry? What's that?
When you're done enjoying that, definitely check it out. Danny
G talked about it. I watched it yesterday. The Pete
Rose documentary on HBO Max. It's one of two things.
And I heard Jay Stu tweeting about it. I've heard
(22:58):
Danny g talking about it. You're either gonna find yourself saying,
you know what, this guy shows no remorse. He's too
rough around the edges. He doesn't belong in the Hall
of Fame, or you're gonna say to yourself, poor guy,
he's in shame. He's eighty one years old, he did
his time, he didn't kill anybody. Why are we acting
like he murdered someone. Let him in the Hall of Fame.
Look how we've embraced gambling. There's gambling advertising in the
(23:23):
fields nowadays, and we're acting like this guy's the worst
guy ever. You're gonna feel one of two ways because
he's a very polarizing, very odd guy. Like I said,

(27:09):
now in about twenty minutes years less than twenty minutes.
We do it every Thursday, old school when fifty hits,
When fifty hits on the clock, we throw it back
and we're going to talk about life changing launches, and
we'll explain because it's the anniversary. But speaking of old school,
did everybody or just me have an old school or
old guy moment? More of an old guy moment? And
(27:31):
we're not old guys, but I had an old guy
moment when I read that Gordon Hayward was retiring, because
I'm like, retiring, How old is this guy? And I
had to look him up and I'm like, born in
nineteen ninety. Then I had to do the quick math
rich which took nineteen ninety ten years ago. Yeah, I know,
I'm like, man, that dude is thirty four already, and
I get it young man in life, but he is
(27:52):
an old guy on the court at this point.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I had the same exact reaction when I saw the news.
He's like one of those players where he looked like
a rookie for like five street.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Season and had to look him up. I felt the
same way. I'm so glad you're with me again. He
started around twenty ten with the Jazz and the Celtics,
the Hornets, the Thunder and you know, I had a
good career as an All Star. But he's retiring. He's
thirty four years old. But I'm like, wait a second,
this dude looks like a kid to me. That means still,
that means still applies to me. Where it's like you
(28:19):
say nineteen seventy and I still think thirty years ago, yeah, man,
And I'm like, damn, yeah, nineteen ninety has thirty four
years ago, So I get it, you know, the wear
and tear of the NBA. He announced his retirement not
to make us all feel old. But if Michael J. Fox,
Marty McFly, if Marty Duck went back to the future today, yeah,
(28:41):
he'd go back to nineteen ninety four when we were kids,
and Marty went back to nineteen fifty five. So that
fell like yars ago a different planet. That would be
like Marty McFly now going back to the mid nineties,
right before Derek Jeter debuted. Hey, I'm talking to you, McFly,
you irish funk. I just sort of hate the act.
Not to make anyone feel bad, but I hate the
(29:03):
fact that a kid born in nineteen ninety when a
lot of you guys were maybe out of high school
or in junior high or whatever is retiring orrights. I
saw a clip a couple of months ago they talked
to the USC men's basketball team, and I'm pretty sure
they were asking them what makes someone old? When were
(29:24):
they born? And everyone was saying like this in the
nineteen hundreds, yeah, something, any time in late nineteen hundreds,
last century old. You're like, what Jesus And it's just
a reality check. But props to him. Gordon Hayward, good
luck on your retirement. Well, I have an interesting thought.
We're gonna play a little game for a minute, Old Maid.
(29:45):
That's an old game, do you think, Old Maid. That's
when you try to trick him and you put another
card up high and you hide the old Maid. I
love tricking kids master at that game. No, We're gonna
play a game called are you team Colin or you
Team Amani? And we'll do that right after damn Buyer's
up day. What's up the bat muftyb.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Hey, guys, a lot going on today. Simone Biles grabbing
the big headlines. She grabbed gold and the women's all
around in the gymnastics event at the Paris Olympics, the
second all around title of Bile's career at the Olympic Games,
first time that's been done since the late nineteen sixties.
Some other notes from Paris. USA women won in basketball
(30:25):
today against Belgium eighty seven to seventy four. Katie Ledecki
another medal, thirteenth most of all time for any American swimmer.
She grabbed the silver in the women's four by two
hundred meter free relay. Australia grabbed gold in that one.
American Kate Douglas grabbed gold in the women's two hundred
meter breaststroke. End of the line for Andy Murray's tennis career. Yes,
(30:48):
in Great Britain. The Great ended up falling in men's
doubles at the Paris Olympics in quarterfinal play, so his
career is officially over. He's already changed the bio on
his Twitter page or his ex page as a guy
who played tennis and then tweeted I never really liked
tennis anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Say oh, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
End of the line for Andy Murray. Chargers quarterback Justin
Herbert will be in a walking boot for two weeks
with an injury to the planter Fascia in his right foot.
Chargers believe he'll be ready for Week one, while the
Buccaneers made Tristan Wurf's the highest paid offensive lineman in
NFL history, giving him a five year extension with one
hundred and forty million dollars. The Green Bay Packers today
unveiled their alternate white uniforms that include a white helmet.
(31:33):
They'll be worn week seven in their matchup against the
Houston Texans. And the breaking news we had earlier, Angels
outfielder Mike Trout done for the season. GM, Piram and
Assien said that Trout suffered another meniscus tear in his
knee and won't play again in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Guys, back to you, Yeah, dB said a bunch of
things that got me thinking. Every time I hear Katie
lead DECKI if it's not gold, I'm like, what happened?
She's that dumb silver? What did she tripes? She fell
in the water, she played the other teammates. You know
this is a relay, So yeah, let's just blame them.
And I can't be the only dad whose living room
has become a gymnastics floor when your daughter's watching Simone Biles, Like,
(32:10):
all my daughter wants to do now is cartwheels and
tumbles and dad watch, Dad watch. So pretty cool. Simone
Biles a very great inspiration for a lot of young women.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Yeah, the eighth or excuse me, the sixth gold of
her career, third medal of these games. Now, Soony Lee
took home bronze today as well.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
By the way, Comno, what do you think of these
all white Packers uniforms and helmets? Let me see they're
all I mean, it looks like the Packers road uniforms
but with just a white helmet. Nothing that crazy, but
you know what's sleek? Sleek? Nonetheless, Cavino and Rich Fox
Sports Radio Live from the ti iraq dot Com Studios.
I know we're going to play this game, so I'm
(32:47):
really excited about it. I saw that Williams was in
the news today and I find what he did to
be a little polarizing. I'll leave it at that. That
brings us to our game. Yeah, I know, are you
team Amani or team Colin? Now the story goes like this.
Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears rookie QB generational guy. From what
(33:13):
I understand, you could simply break it down to he
wants to run to clean up after themselves. Hey, we're
in a locker room here, We're a bunch of girwln men.
Pick up your stuff. I mean, who doesn't, right, I
feel the same way. Not to call out anybody here
that's on during the weekend maybe, but when you come
in on a Monday place looks like a dump, or
when you come home from a long day work rich,
(33:34):
doesn't it fire you down? When you see all the
boxes that your wife collected? It's like, what is she
building the clubhouse? Every day? There's boxes before before you
bet every night. I'm like, do my kids not think
they need to put their toys away? Ever? Your dog
leaves his toys out. My girlfriend has a receipt collection
on the counter. There's water bottles everywhere. I get it.
(33:56):
I get it, how many times I don't?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
How many times have you cleaned up a cup water
your wife left behind and then like an hour lay
She's like, where's my water? I'm like, you just can't
just leave things laying out for hours and then be like,
where are the seats? Are my kryptonite? Though they're just everywhere,
like can we throw these away? Well, there's thoughts on
this and this is where we get into our game.
Are you team? Amani? Amani Cooper, former NFL star, said
(34:20):
this about Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Take a listen, he's Russell Wilson two point zero. Oh no,
this is not gonna go over. Well, if you came
in the locker room, I've been here. I've been in
this locker room for eight years, like you said, And
you know, some rookie's gonna come in who hasn't played
one snap right talking, we're wearing the fingernail polish, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Now he's gonna come in here and tell me we've
been here, who've been through the struggle? Then I need
to clean up. No, how about rookie, how about you
clean up after me? How about that? Don't give me
this crap. I don't like it at all.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
I feel like rookies should earn their respect. Sure, just
because you've got drafted number one doesn't mean nothing to
me because I don't even know if you good.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Damn you gotta keep in mind that's a moni tumor.
Did I say? Cooper? A former I wasn't gonna call
you out, but yes, you were thinking of a Mari
Cooper exactly exactly, former wide out, former professional football player,
as you guys know, and he's speaking from experience. So
whether you like it or not, he lived that locker
(35:21):
room lifestyle where he didn't appreciate young guys coming in
throwing their weight around, regardless of their resume and where
they were drafted. So you got to keep what he
said in mind. But he did go a little personal
when he called out Williams' fingernail polished and the younger
antics of a younger, different generation of player. That's so,
(35:43):
here's a guy Amni tumor her thinks a rookie and
no way, the low is the low. He called him
Russell Wilson two point Oh, it's not mistaken. He's saying like, no, no, no,
don't tell me to clean up the locker room rookie. Well.
Colin Cowherd here on Fox Sports Radio had a different take.
We're gonna play that next and we'll get your thoughts.
Are you a team, Colin or Amani? Should these young
(36:07):
rookies and players clean up after themselves? Should they be
calling the shots telling others yo pick up your towels,
pick up your trash. Is that what a leader does. Yeah,
so we'll get to that next right here, Fox Sports Radio.
So welcome back to the show. Cavino and Rich talking
about Amani Tumor. Man he threw out some fighting words
(36:31):
today about Kayleb Williams Russell Wilson two point I was
saying that a rookie has no right. You have no
right now, no right to be busting around other players
in the locker room, saying pick up your stuff, clean
this place up. Caleb Williams came in, like, yo, this
place is a dump. People need to pick up after themselves.
(36:52):
Mani Tumor, says some rookie who hasn't played one snap
wearing the fingernail polish. Now he's gonna come in here
and tell me a veteran. He's Russell Wilson two point zero. Rookie,
you clean up. By the way, this is the worst
part of the story. Rookie, you clean up after me.
See that's arrogant. And I want to get into this war,
but I want to play the Colin Cowherd flip side
(37:12):
of this play to Colin side, and then like let
a simmer and think about what team uron and then
we'll hit when fifty hits, we'll go old school and
then come back to this. But here's what Colin said,
and I'll tell you right now. I lean more Colin
on this.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Dak Prescott rookie year, week eleven. They're winning a game.
This shouldn't matter. But I talked about this for weeks.
All I got was pushedback. He throws a little cup
behind him on the bench and it doesn't go into
the garbage. It's no big deal, right, He makes a
point of grabbing it, being conscientious. I mean, if he
(37:45):
doesn't pick it up, somebody else has to and putting
it in the garbage. It's a little thing. It matters.
He has been in Dallas. Not the best arm, not
the best athlete, he's an incredibly conscientious.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Player, eater. No, it's just a little cup. Hey, but hey,
let that simmer. Think about Thursday. Yeah, wait, thank you,
your team Amani or team Colin will break it down.
We'll talk a little Caleb Williams coming up. But look,
at the time, there's a certain y is go back.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday old
school when fifty that's fifty after cn R give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, so on this day, by the way, you love
on this day? You know what, Honestly, I don't know
anyone on the planet that loves on this days and
fun facts and birthday shoutout because every day is a present.
Could you know every day's a gift more than your
pop radio guru Ridge Davis. Oh, I think on these
(38:58):
on this day is an interesting thing. Because you want
to go back the year. It was nineteen eighty one,
our pal Mark Goodman Serious six AM eighties on eight
was your first VJ for the launch of MTV. MTV
kicked off on this day, fourty three years ago. M
(39:19):
Banana Bananana. I wanted my MTV bro And by the way,
my AMT everybody knows the fun facts of how it
went down and what played, and we're gonna give you
more fun facts because I mean, who loves fun facts
more than rich? But what I didn't know or I
never put together that it was eight one eighty one. Oh,
(39:40):
I don't think I ever knew that August first, eighty one,
one eighty one, eight one eighty one. We all know,
like you said, first song ever video Killed the Radio
Star by the Buggles. The better question is what was
the second song ever played? No one knows that it's
it's like who came in first place? No one knows
second place. I remember watching early MTV, so my guess
would have been, I don't know, either something by Blondie
(40:02):
or about Jack Dagics. They played that video every three songs,
so that's funny. Yeah, it's a Pet Benatar song, and
it would probably be the fifth Pat Benatar song you
would name because you're like, oh loves Battlefield. No, is
it a we Belong we Up? No, it's what Jachryan dude, Maha,
(40:23):
you better run what ja chrya dude maso. I don't
even have that song Benet. Honestly, Sam, it is probably
I'm pretty sure Alvin and the Chipmunks covered that band boy,
I was Sam. I'm not chucking on no, because it's
probably Pat Benatar's like tenth best song. I like Pat Benatar.
I'm pretty sure it was on Chipmunk Punk, one of
my favorite albums. With that said, I'm not gonna harp
on MTV. In fact, I'm jealous because I was the
(40:45):
kid that didn't have MTV because my dad was the
dude that said, oh, we don't need cable TV. It's
a waste till morning. It was great. It was life
changing every day. Martha Quinn and John Goodman, John John Goodman,
not John Kivin Mark Goodman, but we know personally by
the way, Mark great Man. Actually they were in your
living room with JJ Jackson and Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter. Yeah,
(41:08):
here's the question we post to you. What are the
life changing launches of our lifetime? You could say MTV
changed the way we consume music, right, that was a
big launch for sure. What was another launch? Doesn't have
another debut. It doesn't have to be a network, It
could be another network. I think I have the number
one answer, courtesy of Big Mike, who runs this place. Yeah,
(41:30):
who you know, the other guy, Mike. Well, anyway, what
was the biggest launch of our lifetime? Movie, sports, entertainment?
You tell me technology the answer next
