Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, thanks for listening to the Covino and Rich Podcast.
Be sure to catch us live every weekday from five
to seven Eastern to the four Pacific on Fox Sports Radio.
Find your local station for Coveno Rich at Foxsports Radio
dot com, or stream us live every day on the
iHeartRadio app. It's like searching FSR. Hey, welcome to Covino
(00:21):
and Rich. Wait, so Trump wants us fired? And Kimmel
and Fallon and Colbert everyone, Wow, what did I do?
Covino and Rich. It's so good to be back, you know,
like back. We didn't even know you were gone, we
didn't even miss you. Well, we're back. I'm fresh from
your country. Monsy bonanos Ya Rica. Put a live dude,
(00:46):
Costa Rica. The greatest time ever. Loved every minute of
my time away. Not that I didn't miss you, Rich
in a Fox Sports Radio Nation. I just had a blast.
I got back from this exotic place, a concrete where
dreams are made of. Oh New York. But we're rocking
out live in Los Angeles. It's our rest in peace
(01:07):
Ozzi Celebration show. Iowa Sam. We're rocking out right now
to some wolf Mother. But for the rest of the show,
Sam's on the ones and two is playing some Ozzy
and some Black Sabbath, the Prince of Darkness, the godfathers
of metal. Can I just tell you before we get
into all the greatness today, to show time, homes, trivia,
the prizes, the old timers day, that Derek Jeter, the
(01:28):
unhappy athletes, all the sea in our goodness to the greatness,
I gotta say that I am deeply, deeply saddened, more
sad than I thought i'd be about the passing of
Ozzy Osbourne. I mean a true legend, an icon, a
guy that changed a game, impacted us musically but also
pop culturally and rich. You made a great analogy like
(01:51):
sometimes guys like Yogi bart to tie it into sports,
their personality overshadowed their greatness, and I feel the same
for Ozzy. Sometimes you think him as Sharon and this colorful,
larger than life guy. Of course, don't sleep on his
iconic status of selling over one hundred albums and changing
music and rock as we know it today, over fifty
(02:13):
million albums sold solo, over seventy million albums sold worldwide.
With Black Sabbath like, the impact is strong, slightly connected.
I'm on Ozzie's Boneyard. I'm hired by the Osbourne Family
on Channel thirty eight Serious xm on. I'm on every
Saturday Sunday morning. Yea. But I am like, so so
(02:34):
emotionally sad and touched because he just had his farewell
show two weeks ago and it's like he almost knew
And at the same time, it's bittersweet because it's so
sad that we lost an icon at seventy six, but
it's so sweet that he had the most iconic rockstar
sendoff of all time. To be able to say goodbye
to all his fans and friends the way he did
just two weeks ago, that's insane. So rest in peace.
(02:58):
We honor him today here on Fox Sports Radio. Much
like that Yogi Barra analogy. It's dead on because it
really is Yogi Barra ten World Series one MVPs, but
because he was Yogi and everyone looked at him as
like a character. Yeah, same with Ozzy, a character of himself,
you know, because of MTV and the Osbourne's, Like you said, Sharrah,
he became more of a character. And I think some
(03:20):
were like, oh, that's right, he is like a rock
stars just can't believe the news because we saw him
perform his final show in Birmingham, England, in front of
his hometown, his hometown fans and friends. His daughter got
engaged backstage. It's like he held on for this moment,
wanted one last hurrah, and he passed away today at
seventy six and with friends and family. And that's not
(03:41):
to be overshadowed by the passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner
as well. Like that whole story sucks as well, so
rest in peace to him at the age of fifty four.
But the Ozzie thing, You've heard stories where a family
member holds on, like someone travels to go see a
dying relative. Yeah, and once a eyeing relative says they're farewells.
(04:02):
They were able to like people to like I almost
feel like that Ozzie tribute event where he performed with
his favorite artist, his daughter got engaged, like everything happened
and it almost felt like all right, now he could go.
It's just such a somber feeling. We still have the
music and we're thankful for that, but we pay tribute
(04:25):
and honor him today. And of course, like I said,
if you do have series six time, he has a
channel where you'll hear it, and I'll be playing more
tonight on Turbo forty one, on Turble forty one and
Channel thirty eight Ozzie's Boneyard, but we'll also play it
here on Fox Sports Radio. So rest in peace, Ozzy
Osbourne seventy six a metal icon. We would not have
the music we have today, which is synonymous with what
(04:46):
you hear at the stadium, if it wasn't for Ozzy Osbourne. Now,
where do you want to start your foul ball dilemma?
I have a great foul ball story. I do want
to talk about Cheater and whether or not he's the
biggest pompous dufist in the room or is he making
the right move. There's a Derek Cheter story we're gonna
(05:08):
get to. But I think unhappy athletes. I think I
want to talk about unhappy athletes. And by the way,
the Ozzy Osbourne story is a sad one that you'll
see everywhere. Just usually you hear about celebrity deaths. Some
hit you harder than others, right, that's just a fact. Yeah,
(05:30):
And then a lot of times we just take these
people as celebrities like not real people. But music is
so connected and sports to what we love and what
identifies us. The Assie one, I wouldn't have thought hit
me as hard as his hitting right now. Seriously, I
just wouldn't have thought I would have been that saddened
(05:51):
by it. Well, I want to point out one thing
as we move on. Yeah, we are now officially in
the second half of the baseball season, and you and
I have our Mets Yankees. Bet I'm a game and
a half up, and the Mets have been playing not great,
which means your Yankees. You think they'll make a move
(06:12):
because we got less than ten days. They've made it very,
very clear, which is why you can't sleep on it.
Brian Cashman said that they're in the market for pitchers
and a third baseman, so I don't think there's any
they should be on the market for maybe a shortstop.
The way Volpe's playing, I'm saying, like every team says,
every team in the mix, is like, we're in the market.
(06:32):
I mean, you got to give up stuff like Eugenio
Suarez is in the mix. Maybe you hear these names
all the time, but the Yankees are absolutely looking to
get some big names soon. I want to point this out.
A week in advance. We're not gonna harp on it,
but I have to point it out now because I
know what's gonna happen over the next ten days. All
your ass clown friends are gonna be on the group
(06:53):
chat and they're gonna be talking about who your team
should get. Yet they're willing to part with no one, like, like,
you know we should do we should go after ruh yo.
See if we can get schemes from the pirates. Yeah,
and you like and you can hear players to be
named later, but you don't want to know any of
the players. It's like it doesn't work that way. Like
(07:14):
you gotta be willing to sacrifice something, whether you're a
Dodgers fan, Mets, Yankees, Cubbies, you know, Guardians, Mariners, you
name it. Every sports fan loves to talk about what
they want, but they're not willing to give anything up,
Like we really need a front end of the rotation
guy and a true third baseman. Well guess what, dude,
You're gonna have to give up your top prospect or
(07:37):
guys that are in your current starting lineup. If the
Yankees want to make the movie you're talking about, someone's
gotta go. But fans never think that, So just keep
that in mind over the next ten days when your
idiotic friends hit you up and they're like, you know what,
I'll tell you what the Phillies should go after blank
And you're like, well, you know what, You're gonna have
to give up someone pretty big to get. The Yankees
(07:58):
are real high on Pitcher. He's like six foot seven,
like this giant, lanky dude named John Schlitter.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He's pitched once for the Yankees, and he pitched a
good game, a really good game. But we, meaning Yankees fans,
have only seen him pitch one time on the big stage,
and everyone's like, no, you can't get rid of that guy.
We've seen him once ever, but just because he's highly talented,
people are like, you can't let that guy go. Well,
(08:26):
we'll be hearing some big moves being made soon for sure.
Well it's gonna get real interesting over the next ten days.
But I want to talk about unhappy athletes as we
shift to the NFL. I got to answered you finished Quarterback
by the way on Netflix, Danny g was hard three
D for so long. It's so good. Yeah that's what
she said, but yeah, it's so good. Danny g. Oh, wow, Yeah,
(08:54):
it's so good, Danny G. You really find Jared Goff
like to be the most endearing dude. He really he
really like exemplifies like the what if situation, Like he
thought his life was over when he was traded, but
it turns out he is so embraced in Detroit and
(09:14):
it's the best thing that ever happened to him and
him and his very hot wife. If he realized last
week they welcomed a baby girl, so he's a new dad.
What felt like a nightmare as it happened turned out
to be his greatest blessing and his life has been
amazing ever since. So you really find him endearing and relatable,
and he teaches a true life lesson, like you think
your life is over, maybe it's just starting. And Cousins
(09:37):
is like the biggest lovable goofball ever and you see
his ups and downs and where's he gonna play this year?
How's that gonna work out? You're left on that cliffhanger
and Joe Burrow, I say this respectfully, he's the least
likable of all those dudes, but he's the biggest star
and so cool, and I say that with respect this
(09:57):
is the other two dudes you want to give a hug.
Joe Burrow is just the man. It was cool to
see the relationship between the Burrows and the Chase family. Yeah,
I know, coming up through LSU and now in the pros,
like two families that are like, yeah, we're sort of
intertwined forever, so we might as well get along and hang.
Burrow is so cool, like we're really living in a
great time and we're so fortunate to have these young
(10:19):
stars who were just bringing it now. I'm glad you
brought up Kirk Cousins because I think he applied to
this conversation. You mean, the guy who gets his haircut
at Great Clips and loves it. The guy who when
he's unleashing and unwinding, drinks Roy Rogers and says they're
the best drink ever. I think it's interesting because you
saw it unfold on one of the early episodes a
(10:40):
quarterback and in real life like last year, so it's
not like this is anything new. But to see the
insight of Kirk Cousins, Danny you saw in the first
episode or so where he's like, listen, we didn't necessarily
want to leave Minnesota, but they gave us no choice.
They offered him like a year to year type of situation,
and they wanted more longevity, they wanted more jobs. He
wanted like four I think four yeah, and Atlanta stepped
(11:03):
up and said, yo, we'll give you that money. Then
he felt misled, and that al sort of ties into
the conversation. I want to start with today, which is
unhappy athletes. I say unhappy because the main headline today
in the world of sports is unhappy wide receiver McLaurin
of the commanders, the commanders, whereas Trump wants to call
(11:26):
him now just kidding the Redskins. He's a no show
at camp and this guy is a star, but he's
going to lose fifty thousand dollars a day for every
day he continues to not show up at camp. Well again,
because it's a business and it's a contract dispute. That's
why he's unhappy. Terry McLaurin, Yeah, signed a three year contract.
(11:50):
Now this three year contract he's in the final year.
It's a three year, sixty eight mil. Now at the time,
pretty solid contract. But since then you see other wide
receivers getting significant money where that looks like not the
best deal.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Now, yeah, McLaurin has outplayed that contract.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now McLaurin has outplayed guys that are making ten million
dollars more a year. And for the sake of conversation,
you know, this is the business of professional sports. There
is a business side to this that's equally, if not
more important. So I know people are thinking, like, hey,
it's a contract, that's a job. I'm fascinated though, on
both sides of this. Let's also a child's game that
(12:31):
we all dreamt of playing at this level. I'm gonna
pose the question and then I'm gonna give you both sides,
Like the question really is do you get it? And
let me give you both sides, the side of the
organization where they could be done with a player that
has been loyal and great and a contributor. But the
minute a team feels like this guy is not going
(12:52):
to give us what we need, they are so quick
to dump a player like he's a pile of doodoo
on the side of the throw them at the window
like a straw wrapper, like a straw wrapper, like some
litter book, like just throwing some trash. That must be
your move. I know, clearly Rich is the litter bud
(13:12):
throwing out straw wrappers some debris. Yeah, cigarette rich is
probably throwing out all those straws to killing all the turtles, don't.
I know, I've learned. I learned that. I give a hoot.
That's such a random example, you know, that's what he does.
He probably takes a lot of pride in that too.
Pride and littering, because yeah, why would you I'm thinking
(13:33):
of something. You're you're driving down the street. What do
you see people throw out the car window? Used to
be cigarettes, but now like it is straw wrappers because
they probably dissolve in like, yeah, it's biodegradable. I do
that with like banana peels, Like like I'm living in
a car. You want people to hope someone's in a
slip on it, and I'm driving my car driving. Cavino's
(13:53):
responsible for the o'doyle family dying. But you do that right,
racing if you're if you're eating an apple, right, you're
not toss it into a bush. You're like, I have
squirrel a grambar. Who cares? That's that's not littering. I mean,
I I agree that, uh, I would just scroirrel on
to eat a banana peel able. Squirrels need potassium, sam
But anyway, back to your story, do they owners because
(14:17):
the lowers, you know, low potassium in a lot of squirrels.
Owners very quick and management very quick to cut a guy.
He could have been a guy that's been on the
team ten years. He could be up for uh, you know, bonuses.
They're quick to be like, I don't care about the player,
and you see that all the time. They throw them
away like yesterday's doodoo diapers. Yeah, I hope you don't
(14:38):
throw those out the window. But then on the side
of the player, I find that wild when a player
signs a contract and then mid contract they're like, yeah,
I don't really love what I signed, let's reopen this,
or I'm not playing. And I almost feelink you have
to understand both sides. They're both equally sort of gross. No, yeah,
(15:01):
I mean equally accountable for sure. But again that's the
business side of things, and that's why these star players
have star agents. I think that's why when you reach
a certain level in life period you have agents do
your dirty work because you don't want to it gets
too murky. You don't want to mix the negotiation with
(15:22):
the player. You just don't. That's the agent's job. That's
why it gets to that level. Yeah, now, listen, that's
why even at our level you could say we're minions
in the game and grand scheme of broadcasting. But at
this level of the game, like you don't want to
talk money with your boss, you leave that to the agents,
You leave that to the negotiators. You know, that's not
(15:42):
where he should be stepping in. But look, if something's
not settled and it's not right, he doesn't want to
show up in the meantime. That's where we're at, and
he's sacrificing fifty thousand dollars a day, and you got
to ask yourself, that's the business side. Has has he
proven enough? Side? Has he proven enough? Because Danny, you
said he has accomplished they haven't won a Super Bowl.
(16:03):
I always say when a player hasn't won a championship
or something of that caliber, like let's say some guys
on a rinky ding contract in the big picture, but
they win a championship for that city, I find it
more acceptable to be like, let's reopen this bad boy.
Commanders had a good year. They made it to the
NFC Championship Game, but you're on year three of a contract,
you think it's automatic that Washington should be like, all right,
(16:26):
we're gonna make you happy, we'll reopen it. Is that
the standard?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Do we just accept these guys saying I don't want
to play out my contract.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, we see this in every major league right now,
when a player is going into the final year of
their deal. If you want to keep that player happy
and on your team and as a leader, you usually
go in and rework things and extend it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
But you might argue, well, good, because what are you
going to take the side of the team, Because a
lot of times it's like what do you are you
rooting for the billionaire owners or are you rooting for
the player to get what they deserve. I just think
it's interesting that if you are at all productive during
your contract, you never see it through. It's like halfway
through that We live in a world where we see
athletes take this stand where you would assume, or we
(17:08):
were led to believe that they should just be grateful
and happy for most of our life to be playing
a kid's game and getting paid this amount of money.
But in every other job in the world, we should
always take the side of the smaller man, meaning versus
the corporation, Like, why wouldn't you have the players back
as opposed to the multi billion dollar organization. You know,
you should always have their side. It's like if I
(17:30):
was in a dispute, would you have Fox Fox's side
or Steve Cavino's side? You know what I mean. That's
the way you have to look at things. I mean,
for instance, I'm a big Mets fan. As you know,
Pete Alonso got a pretty team friendly deal because no
one really wanted him at the time. And now you're like,
oh crap, Pete's playing great and thirty I'm sorry, twenty
(17:52):
nine teams other than the Mets are thinking, yo, we
could have got Pete Alonzo for like not a lot.
You could have found room in your lineup for pet Alanz,
so first base, DH somewhere. Now, Pete A. Lonzo's having
his best year and now the chatter is, well, they
better open up his contract now to make him happy.
You know, sign the contract. He has leverage, he's he's
put up the stats. They have a new quarterback. That
(18:14):
quarterback needs someone to throw to. Right, he has all
these these reasons to maybe fight for more and they
aren't able to get it done, what would you all
right put yourself in his situation? That's really what it is.
And I don't like these crybaby athletes that demand more.
But if you deserve more than maybe you should fight
for it. And you have that that applies to everybody,
and you have a very little window of primo earnings exactly.
(18:38):
It leaves a bad taste, but that's just business, right.
But when it's done aside is the ugly side. But
if it were you and you were in the middle
of a contract negotiation and you're not getting what you want,
and I say you the collective you listening and you rich,
would you show up to work in the meantime? That's
really what it comes down. But does a little caveat
to what you said. You said if you're in the
(18:58):
middle of the negotiation. He's in the middle of a contract,
but it is a negotiation. Now then it's agociation because
they've sort of reopened it because he said because he
said so, yeah, so the bigger contract is don't mean
Idley squad. I know it's a vague question, but my
question to everyone, we love the feedback. You know, the
most interactive show here on Fox Sports Radio eight seven, seven,
(19:20):
nine nine on Fox. The big question is do you
get it? Like, do you understand both sides of this?
Gross Like ownership could dismiss someone just like that, but
a player in the middle of contract could be like, well,
you know what, I while I did sign the contract,
I now don't like it. I'm gonna sit.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I know that players think to themselves, I can only
get this deal right now, but I'm going to ball
out and I'm gonna get paid way more and hopefully
by that team. And we see what Trey Hendrickson is
going through with the Bengals right now. Seventeen and a
half sacks last season, seventeen and a half sacks is
season prior, and he's saying that they are giving him
(19:58):
an offer that's atrocious Lee Low. So sometimes being top
in the stats still doesn't make your way with a
new contract.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And then if a guy, if a guy's on your
team right and you know he's like unhappy, does that
also sit weird with you? What if what if the
commander is like, yeah, yeah, like we got it, but
it's always gonna sit weird with us. Because this is
sort of a new side to sports that we've only
experienced in like the past ten years or so. He's
pros ain't loyal because it's a business and we've been
saying that for a good five to ten years now.
(20:28):
Where you're seeing people you assume should be or should
be happy and well compensated, they feel they deserve more
and they're taking a stand. It's just something our eyes
and ears are not accustomed to yet. Mancie, what were
we gonna say? No, I don't worry about it.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I was just gonna add that Trey Hendrickson's contract,
the problem is guaranteed money. They don't want to give
it to him past the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
But that also goes to the food though. Yeah, that
also goes to the like well, teams are looking for
shortcuts if if a guy's not performing, they're quick to
want to get out of that deal and somehow find
the least amount of might of pay. So when a
player is over delivering Cavino, maybe it's not weird for
them to want to open a contract mid mid contract essentially.
(21:15):
So it's just interesting. I saw the headline unhappy. I'm like, unhappy.
You're in the middle of a seventy million dollar contract.
But it leaves a bad taste in the average fellows
math because you're such a fan of what they do,
and everyone under the moon would probably trade places with
those type of problems, you know, when everyone's hard on
the grind and live and check to check and just
trying to make ends meet. You know, you don't want
(21:38):
to hear about unhappy unhappy athletes, But when you think
about the position they're playing and the stats are putting
up and the money that's being made on their behalf
for major organizations and franchises, it makes sense. It's just
from a fan perspective, nobody wants to hear that, including myself.
You're unhappy. Let me tell you about my life. See
(21:58):
how unhappy you are. That's how everybody feels, you know
what I mean. So that's why it rubs people the
wrong way. What I've heard once someone once said, pay
us what you owe us? Kidding w W W NBA.
By the way, there's so many layers to that. Is
that why you were wearing those T shirts this week?
You know what? There's so many layers to that. Because
(22:19):
they did sign these big contracts for broadcasting rights and
all this, and the teams are evaluated, are valuated, you know,
significantly high. But you always hear people say that leak
has never turned to profit. So but it's also shame
on the athlete, shame on the artist who signs the
contract and then never sees the money they signed it.
(22:41):
You know, there's a part of an old school part
of me is like tough tatas you signed it, you
did it tough. How many times do you hear about
a music artist that was bamboozled? I understand, but they
told the opportunity that was presented to them at the time.
The best example is your pal missus Travis Kelce, Taylor
Swift and screwter Braun made a deal. But again they
(23:03):
didn't have to make that deal. Taylor Swift is McLaurin
signed the deal halfway through was like, I don't like
this deal. And then she and what she did was
She's like, all right, well then I'm going to re
record all my music. And the fans were there and
have to be at a certain level to pull that off.
And it's a question of is mclauren at that level
that's really it, Taylor Swift level.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, Cove, I understand what you're saying. But at the
same time, if you see other players on your team
that are having their deals reworked, but the team won't
renegotiate with you, that's where we get into the weeds here.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, honestly, think about it. At your own job, whatever
you do for a living, if you asked your boss
for a raise and it's like these these salaries are public,
we'd all feel that way if we all knew what
everybody made. Oh, that is true, that's a big part
of it. Rich and I. You know, we've worked in
radio a long time and one time we saw what
other shows were making and it did make you feel
that way. So that's that's to your point, Danny G.
(23:57):
It's like, you know, you you make these deals and
you're supposed to be content with them, and you're like, hey,
then you know these are the moves I made. Let
me do my best and put my nose to the grind.
But then when you really know that you're putting in
more effort and more results and other people getting paid more,
it rubs you the wrong way. And you do see
other people you're like, that's all they make. They're better
than that person that makes one. It changes. It changes
(24:19):
things when it's public. Do you think you would want
to know if I said, Moncey Danny Jaber, If I
said I have a spreadsheet in front of me right
now that includes the salaries of every on air host
and producer at Fox Sports Radio, take a look, would
you want to or did it bother you? I'd want
to know. You might still bother me, but you don't
want to know. Sometimes you got to reluctantly tip your
hat and say, well, I guess that dude either has
(24:41):
a better agent or he's just better at business.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Right.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
But I think you get a lot of information knowing that.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I think there's too many feelings involved with all those
numbers and everything this sort of job and what they
do too, even though it's public, so it's different for them.
You have to be laser focused in on what you're
doing and what your show is doing.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
But it's an old schoo mentality, Danny g And that's
that's the world we're living in now, and that's why
there's a weird contrast and feeling that we get. Like
Rich and I, we realized that we made probably three
to four times less than this other show made that
we were on the same channel on and in my opinions,
guy sucked and I'm like, what, I can't believe that.
Then you see someone else but getting We did something
(25:21):
on the school where we were mad about it and
we just put our nose to the grind and worked hard, like,
hey man, I guess we got to live with it
in today's world, if you know your worth and know
your value the way McLaurin does, you could make some
moves and you could you could be that guy who
makes the change and to show that it's not just athletes.
One last thought, I know we're running late. I saw
(25:42):
a study that said Generation Z gen Z one of
their one of their commonalities in the workplace is that
they don't even want to take a job interview if
you're not transparent about salary upfront, Like you know, when
you see a different, different mindset. You know, sometimes when
when you look online and you see something, it could
be a work out plan, real estate something, if they
don't show the price right away and you're clicking around
(26:03):
like what's the price, and they're like call us and
find out no, no, no. Generations the younger people, twenty
year olds are like none of that. Bs. How much
before even before I even sit down with you. What
does the job pay? Before I even meet with you?
What's the price of the apartment or house? Or how
about this how we grew up in a culture of
doing extra work and hoping it paid off in the future.
A younger generation is like, yeah, right, what are you
(26:24):
paying me? Or I'm not doing anything. This whole thing
has to do with a different mindset with younger people,
and it's harder for older school thinkers to really grasp
why a guy like McLaurin would be unhappy. I'm feeling
sorry for me either, Rich to be honest, but I
do understand your thoughts. Eight seven seven, nine to nine
on Fox. Will get to all your feedback. Next we'll
(26:46):
do some of homes trivia and a lot to get
to It's a Tuesday, can we known?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Rich?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
So our rest in peace? Sanzi Osbourne celebration show again
bittersweet show, so sad? Obviously like what a shock? But
is there a cooler farewell ever? To perform in front
of all your fans in your hometown. And not only that,
you realize how much money his final show back to
the beginning raised billions and billions. No, it was a
(27:18):
large success. Black Sabbaths Final Show the highest grossing charity
concert of all time. July fifth, just weeks ago, raised
more than two hundred million for three hundred for three charities,
surpassing the amount raised by fire Aid and farm Aid combined.
So two hundred million raised. Got to say his final
goodbyes and farewells, and like Rich alluded to before, held
(27:42):
on long enough to do it and sing it one
last time, and he wanted to like get up and perform,
and they're like, Gazi, you gotta sit down and sell
Rest in Peace, Ozzy Osbourne. Now we get back to
your phone, calls, your feedback eight seven seven nine nine
on Fox. Unhappy Athletes tarre Chlorin in the news today.
You're gonna miss out on fifty thousand dollars a day.
(28:03):
You gonna be fine for not showing up at camp.
He's in the middle of a contract, the third year
of a three year deal. You understand the player side
of things. They see their contemporaries signing bigger deals. They
want to open their deal mid contract, sign a new one.
Ownership quick to tell a guy to beat it and
cut them. So you understand all sides of this. You do.
(28:25):
It's like you never want to mix business with pleasure,
right as the old saying goes. And we get so
much pleasure out of sports that it leaves a bad
taste in our mouth when you hear the business side
of things and the ugly side of things. But the
Tyan Covino is younger people, younger listeners right now. You
know maybe your kids, your nieces, your nephews, your neighbors,
(28:45):
teenagers and twenty year olds. You know what I tell them.
I have a teenage daughter, you know what I and
I will tell her when she enters the the job market.
What are you gonna tell I'm gonna tell her what
Randy Macho man Savage told me. Hard work pays off
and the cream rises to the top. And I believe
the cream rise to the top. I believe in that,
(29:07):
I really do. So you could cry like a big
baby and worry about what other people are doing, or
you put your nose to the grind, You work hard
and you let your results show us you and I
describe a big proponent of work, Smarter, not harder. Covino's
like hard work, cutting corners and being lazy and making
excuses for them. I think when you're worried about what
other people are doing, you're never really doing your best.
(29:27):
Work hard, and the cream will rise to the top.
I still find that to be true. So this guy,
and you know if based on that, I'm old school.
I'm not saying it's the right way because there's a
different way now. But the results will will come if
you continue to work hard and deliver. But you also
have to capitalize when you don't sign the contract. So
(29:51):
I understand how people think today. That doesn't mean I
need to agree with it. Well, based on that article
is also telling you, guys about where younger people gen
z are saying, I want true transparency. What does everyone make?
I want to know what my coworkers make before you
even sit down and have a conversation. New employer, what's
(30:11):
the starting salary? Because I don't even want to People
are saying, I don't even want to waste my time
on a zoomer meeting if you don't tell me the
money up front. Younger people don't have time to Let's
say you're clicking on a service, A plumber, an electrician,
give me the price now, don't be like well, call
and get our estumates I want to know people want transparency.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You ever go to a restaurant and the prices aren't
on the menu, or you go to a food truck
and the prices aren't and you're like, oh, they got
to be high.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
They're not listed, They're going to be high.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
The most you know what, the two scariest letters that
you can see on a menu when you're on a
first date. Two scariest letters that you could see on
a menu when you're on a first date trying to impress.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
When it says market price MP, market price.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
And then the girl with it's like, oh the lobster
MP pew. Tell me my two letters. Not at tea.
Let's go to Josh in Jacksonville. Josh your thoughts when
when players are trying to open contracts mid contract, I mean,
you got to understand it, right, it's the it's the
game now.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
No, I understand it completely. And a long time list
our first time caller.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I appreciate you. I'll taking the time, and I mean
I understand them wanting to open up the deal, but
I mean, more to the point of the younger generation
wanting transparency when it comes to say like I'm not
with understand knowing what other people make, because at the
end of the day, there's no shortcutch of success. It's
hard work. That's all there is. Yours to the grindstone,
but obviously times more important. Eating. It's the only universal
(31:36):
thing we have and everyone has the same amount. So
I'm all for transparency when sitting down, I mean, whether
it be in real estate or in a salary position.
I think that knowing upfront what the base is is
important because why am I going to sit there and
wat thirty minutes out of my day to do that?
But I mean, I understand players, but if you sign
a contract, you should fulfill it. So that's also my right.
(32:00):
With the NFL being one of the only big or
the only big sport that doesn't provide guarantee money all
the way through, that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, you know, I'll tell you what a guy that beanks,
the guy that benefited from the generosity of his team.
You could say they would have absolutely lost him had
they not done this. But you know that brock Purty
could have could have played one more year making like
low s money for the forty nine ers, But they
said he brought us to a Super Bowl NFC Championship game.
They rewarded him. But if you want to play logistics
(32:30):
and you want to be accurate, brock Purty could be
making very little money again this year. But the Niner,
what we would call the forty nine ers, doing the
right thing in the right and you're keeping your workers
and employees happy, and you know that's what you want
from a workplace. But that workplace being your forty nine ers.
So we're talking about unhappy athletes. By the way, it's
the story of Terry McLaurin, of the commander's receiver, who
(32:53):
wants to reopen the contract. And we're going to get
to the rest of your phone calls and feedback eight
seven to seven ninety nine on Fox at Veino and
Rich after Monsy's update, What's oh, what's up?
Speaker 4 (33:04):

Trey Hendrickson also not present at training camp. Kyrin Williams
Rams running back. He's entering the final year of his contract.
He wants a new deal. He is at training camp
and told reporters that he's going to be ready for
Week one.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He has no desire to hold out.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Running Back James Cook in the middle of contract talks
with contract talks with Buffalo. He is reporting to training camp.
Cold quarterback Anthony Richardson, he's been throwing the past three weeks,

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Wednesday with no restrictions.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Jordan Schultz reports three time prol safety Jamal Adams is
signing with the Raiders, safety Tyron Matthew, tight end Jimmy Graham.
They're retiring from the NFL Matthew after twelve seasons. Jimmy
Graham also plans to retire as a Saint this year.
And lastly, here Bradley Beal is giving up the number
three so that Chris Paul can wear it with the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
You guys, wow, is that right? Though? Twenty one years
Chris Paul? That twenty one years? Yep, that's been crazy, dude,
that really is. And he played all eighty two games
last year. No, that's insane, man, I just can't believe
how time's flying twenty one years for CP three. Props
to him. You said, did you say Jimmy Graham retired?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yes, he hasn't played since twenty twenty three, but officially
announced the retirement today with the Saints.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I was gonna say, I saw a story like a
week ago, and I had a double check. I'm like,
is this the same Jimmy Graham? Did you see that
he did a five hundred plus mile Arctic row. Yeah,
like in the middle of like freezing ice waters. He
was in like it was rowing Superman competition. He's doing
something like you know when you see players leave professional sports,
but they still meet that adrenaline rush. The dude is
(35:05):
rowing in like ice waters in the Arctic, so he'll
be doing Just find Jimmy Graam. Congratulations on a great
NFL career. All right, we got more Kavino on Rich.
We're gonna give away prizes, We'll play some Showtime Mahomes trivia.
We'll talk about your dude, Derek Jeter skipping out on
what is a very special Yankee moment. Is he another
unhappy athlete? You know what, it might be the trend
today more next right here, Kevin and Rich Rest in peace,
(35:32):
Ozzy Osbourne, see you on the other side. Seventy six
years old. So sad man because he just performed on
the fifth, but that was his goodbye and he held
on long enough just to say goodbye to his fans
one last time and we reap all the benefits of
his music. And crazy to think that guy rocking out
(35:53):
for fifty years. And there's a lot of people that
are like the reality show guy Sharon that put them
in the mainstream spotlight. Ozzie is a legend, but there's
a lot of people that don't like heavy metal or
hard rock music that they's not for everybody. But let
me tell you Rich, one hundred million albums. I'm just
saying that there's a lot of people that also look
(36:15):
at him as just such a great personality. Like like
you said, the Yogi Berri and the Yogi Bearra analogy
is perfect, where Yogi Hall of Famer, ten times World
Series Champion and MVP was almost like laughed at times
like Yogi Bera because he was such a big personality.
I think Ozzi was one of those big personalities the
(36:36):
TV show in his musical career really was his really
was coul Or. You could argue, and this by no
means I don't want you to interpret this as me
taken away from his musical legendary career. He was influential
in creating a different sound for rock music that that dark,
almost scary, that's what people need metal sound where you
(36:58):
take for granted now metal or hard rock, it had
never been done that way ever. And it goes back
to Black Sabbath, seeing a horror movie titled Black Sabbath
and saying, hey, if we could capture the feelings that
are ignited by this film and incorporate that in our music,
somehow we could be onto something. And they changed the
game forever with these dark, dreary chord progressions. And then
(37:21):
they infiltrated the mainstream to some regard with that sound
and it changed metal and rock forever. But I think
Ozzy doesn't get enough credit because not only did he
create a sound in music for those rock lovers that
had never been heard. Yeah, the Osbourne's were the first
reality family followed around, so he paved the way in
(37:42):
the rock world and reality TV. What I mean was Adam,
the Cole Smith and what the Cole Ritchie and Paris
Hilton that's hot and the Osbourne's that was. That was
the family before the Real Housewives were a thing, before
people were watching Love Island and all this stupid crep.
The Osbourns were America's first reality teav Remember, Ozzie Osbourne
(38:02):
had a great level of mystique in mystery behind him
before he lets you into his personal life in that way.
So he opened up his home in his heart so
that people could see him as a regular man. You know,
you could say added to his story or it took
away from his mystique. Either way, we reaped the benefit.
(38:24):
I think to listen again, I think that show, whether
you're watching or not, made Ozzie a more lovable mainstream
guy too many. It really did, because I can guarantee
it was groundbreaking at a lot of your moms and sisters,
and for the most part, a lot of people that
didn't like metal or hard rock got to see a
different set of Ozzie and listen, He's been a big
part of a lot of people's lives. Rest in peace,
(38:46):
a legend seventy six years old. Pastoids and We'll be
playing some Ozzie throughout the day and like I said,
catch me on Turbo forty one on Series sixthm tonight
I'll be talking more about it and Ozzie's Boneyard Channel
thirty eight on Series six if you want to check
it now. I do want to get to this Derek
Cheater story. Oh it's wild. We are going to give
away some prizes. It it's a misstep, I understand. I
(39:08):
think I have a good grasp of what's going on. Well,
you know what, since you're I think it's a misstep.
I do, since you're mister Yankee, since you're uh, we're
pinstripe Tony's why don't you give everyone the quick cliff
notes of what's going on with Derek Jeter. We'll discuss
coming up. Yankees haven't had an old Timer's Day really
since like twenty nineteen. They had like one other one
I think just recently, but they haven't done it the
(39:29):
way they did it in the past since pre COVID.
It's the twenty fifth anniversary of the two thousand team.
Derek Cheter was the captain. That's when they beat your Mets. Yeah,
guess what they're getting back together, cheaters A no show.
What are your thoughts? We'll do it next.
Hey, thanks for listening to the Covino and Rich Podcast.
Be sure to catch us live every weekday from five
to seven Eastern to the four Pacific on Fox Sports Radio.
Find your local station for Coveno Rich at Foxsports Radio
dot com, or stream us live every day on the
iHeartRadio app. It's like searching FSR. Hey, welcome to Covino
(00:21):
and Rich. Wait, so Trump wants us fired? And Kimmel
and Fallon and Colbert everyone, Wow, what did I do?
Covino and Rich. It's so good to be back, you know,
like back. We didn't even know you were gone, we
didn't even miss you. Well, we're back. I'm fresh from
your country. Monsy bonanos Ya Rica. Put a live dude,
(00:46):
Costa Rica. The greatest time ever. Loved every minute of
my time away. Not that I didn't miss you, Rich
in a Fox Sports Radio Nation. I just had a blast.
I got back from this exotic place, a concrete where
dreams are made of. Oh New York. But we're rocking
out live in Los Angeles. It's our rest in peace
(01:07):
Ozzi Celebration show. Iowa Sam. We're rocking out right now
to some wolf Mother. But for the rest of the show,
Sam's on the ones and two is playing some Ozzy
and some Black Sabbath, the Prince of Darkness, the godfathers
of metal. Can I just tell you before we get
into all the greatness today, to show time, homes, trivia,
the prizes, the old timers day, that Derek Jeter, the
(01:28):
unhappy athletes, all the sea in our goodness to the greatness,
I gotta say that I am deeply, deeply saddened, more
sad than I thought i'd be about the passing of
Ozzy Osbourne. I mean a true legend, an icon, a
guy that changed a game, impacted us musically but also
pop culturally and rich. You made a great analogy like
(01:51):
sometimes guys like Yogi bart to tie it into sports,
their personality overshadowed their greatness, and I feel the same
for Ozzy. Sometimes you think him as Sharon and this colorful,
larger than life guy. Of course, don't sleep on his
iconic status of selling over one hundred albums and changing
music and rock as we know it today, over fifty
(02:13):
million albums sold solo, over seventy million albums sold worldwide.
With Black Sabbath like, the impact is strong, slightly connected.
I'm on Ozzie's Boneyard. I'm hired by the Osbourne Family
on Channel thirty eight Serious xm on. I'm on every
Saturday Sunday morning. Yea. But I am like, so so
(02:34):
emotionally sad and touched because he just had his farewell
show two weeks ago and it's like he almost knew
And at the same time, it's bittersweet because it's so
sad that we lost an icon at seventy six, but
it's so sweet that he had the most iconic rockstar
sendoff of all time. To be able to say goodbye
to all his fans and friends the way he did
just two weeks ago, that's insane. So rest in peace.
(02:58):
We honor him today here on Fox Sports Radio. Much
like that Yogi Barra analogy. It's dead on because it
really is Yogi Barra ten World Series one MVPs, but
because he was Yogi and everyone looked at him as
like a character. Yeah, same with Ozzy, a character of himself,
you know, because of MTV and the Osbourne's, Like you said, Sharrah,
he became more of a character. And I think some
(03:20):
were like, oh, that's right, he is like a rock
stars just can't believe the news because we saw him
perform his final show in Birmingham, England, in front of
his hometown, his hometown fans and friends. His daughter got
engaged backstage. It's like he held on for this moment,
wanted one last hurrah, and he passed away today at
seventy six and with friends and family. And that's not
(03:41):
to be overshadowed by the passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner
as well. Like that whole story sucks as well, so
rest in peace to him at the age of fifty four.
But the Ozzie thing, You've heard stories where a family
member holds on, like someone travels to go see a
dying relative. Yeah, and once a eyeing relative says they're farewells.
(04:02):
They were able to like people to like I almost
feel like that Ozzie tribute event where he performed with
his favorite artist, his daughter got engaged, like everything happened
and it almost felt like all right, now he could go.
It's just such a somber feeling. We still have the
music and we're thankful for that, but we pay tribute
(04:25):
and honor him today. And of course, like I said,
if you do have series six time, he has a
channel where you'll hear it, and I'll be playing more
tonight on Turbo forty one, on Turble forty one and
Channel thirty eight Ozzie's Boneyard, but we'll also play it
here on Fox Sports Radio. So rest in peace, Ozzy
Osbourne seventy six a metal icon. We would not have
the music we have today, which is synonymous with what
(04:46):
you hear at the stadium, if it wasn't for Ozzy Osbourne. Now,
where do you want to start your foul ball dilemma?
I have a great foul ball story. I do want
to talk about Cheater and whether or not he's the
biggest pompous dufist in the room or is he making
the right move. There's a Derek Cheter story we're gonna
(05:08):
get to. But I think unhappy athletes. I think I
want to talk about unhappy athletes. And by the way,
the Ozzy Osbourne story is a sad one that you'll
see everywhere. Just usually you hear about celebrity deaths. Some
hit you harder than others, right, that's just a fact. Yeah,
(05:30):
And then a lot of times we just take these
people as celebrities like not real people. But music is
so connected and sports to what we love and what
identifies us. The Assie one, I wouldn't have thought hit
me as hard as his hitting right now. Seriously, I
just wouldn't have thought I would have been that saddened
(05:51):
by it. Well, I want to point out one thing
as we move on. Yeah, we are now officially in
the second half of the baseball season, and you and
I have our Mets Yankees. Bet I'm a game and
a half up, and the Mets have been playing not great,
which means your Yankees. You think they'll make a move
(06:12):
because we got less than ten days. They've made it very,
very clear, which is why you can't sleep on it.
Brian Cashman said that they're in the market for pitchers
and a third baseman, so I don't think there's any
they should be on the market for maybe a shortstop.
The way Volpe's playing, I'm saying, like every team says,
every team in the mix, is like, we're in the market.
(06:32):
I mean, you got to give up stuff like Eugenio
Suarez is in the mix. Maybe you hear these names
all the time, but the Yankees are absolutely looking to
get some big names soon. I want to point this out.
A week in advance. We're not gonna harp on it,
but I have to point it out now because I
know what's gonna happen over the next ten days. All
your ass clown friends are gonna be on the group
(06:53):
chat and they're gonna be talking about who your team
should get. Yet they're willing to part with no one, like, like,
you know we should do we should go after ruh yo.
See if we can get schemes from the pirates. Yeah,
and you like and you can hear players to be
named later, but you don't want to know any of
the players. It's like it doesn't work that way. Like
(07:14):
you gotta be willing to sacrifice something, whether you're a
Dodgers fan, Mets, Yankees, Cubbies, you know, Guardians, Mariners, you
name it. Every sports fan loves to talk about what
they want, but they're not willing to give anything up,
Like we really need a front end of the rotation
guy and a true third baseman. Well guess what, dude,
You're gonna have to give up your top prospect or
(07:37):
guys that are in your current starting lineup. If the
Yankees want to make the movie you're talking about, someone's
gotta go. But fans never think that, So just keep
that in mind over the next ten days when your
idiotic friends hit you up and they're like, you know what,
I'll tell you what the Phillies should go after blank
And you're like, well, you know what, You're gonna have
to give up someone pretty big to get. The Yankees
(07:58):
are real high on Pitcher. He's like six foot seven,
like this giant, lanky dude named John Schlitter.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He's pitched once for the Yankees, and he pitched a
good game, a really good game. But we, meaning Yankees fans,
have only seen him pitch one time on the big stage,
and everyone's like, no, you can't get rid of that guy.
We've seen him once ever, but just because he's highly talented,
people are like, you can't let that guy go. Well,
(08:26):
we'll be hearing some big moves being made soon for sure.
Well it's gonna get real interesting over the next ten days.
But I want to talk about unhappy athletes as we
shift to the NFL. I got to answered you finished Quarterback
by the way on Netflix, Danny g was hard three
D for so long. It's so good. Yeah that's what
she said, but yeah, it's so good. Danny g. Oh, wow, Yeah,
(08:54):
it's so good, Danny G. You really find Jared Goff
like to be the most endearing dude. He really he
really like exemplifies like the what if situation, Like he
thought his life was over when he was traded, but
it turns out he is so embraced in Detroit and
(09:14):
it's the best thing that ever happened to him and
him and his very hot wife. If he realized last
week they welcomed a baby girl, so he's a new dad.
What felt like a nightmare as it happened turned out
to be his greatest blessing and his life has been
amazing ever since. So you really find him endearing and relatable,
and he teaches a true life lesson, like you think
your life is over, maybe it's just starting. And Cousins
(09:37):
is like the biggest lovable goofball ever and you see
his ups and downs and where's he gonna play this year?
How's that gonna work out? You're left on that cliffhanger
and Joe Burrow, I say this respectfully, he's the least
likable of all those dudes, but he's the biggest star
and so cool, and I say that with respect this
(09:57):
is the other two dudes you want to give a hug.
Joe Burrow is just the man. It was cool to
see the relationship between the Burrows and the Chase family. Yeah,
I know, coming up through LSU and now in the pros,
like two families that are like, yeah, we're sort of
intertwined forever, so we might as well get along and hang.
Burrow is so cool, like we're really living in a
great time and we're so fortunate to have these young
(10:19):
stars who were just bringing it now. I'm glad you
brought up Kirk Cousins because I think he applied to
this conversation. You mean, the guy who gets his haircut
at Great Clips and loves it. The guy who when
he's unleashing and unwinding, drinks Roy Rogers and says they're
the best drink ever. I think it's interesting because you
saw it unfold on one of the early episodes a
(10:40):
quarterback and in real life like last year, so it's
not like this is anything new. But to see the
insight of Kirk Cousins, Danny you saw in the first
episode or so where he's like, listen, we didn't necessarily
want to leave Minnesota, but they gave us no choice.
They offered him like a year to year type of situation,
and they wanted more longevity, they wanted more jobs. He
wanted like four I think four yeah, and Atlanta stepped
(11:03):
up and said, yo, we'll give you that money. Then
he felt misled, and that al sort of ties into
the conversation. I want to start with today, which is
unhappy athletes. I say unhappy because the main headline today
in the world of sports is unhappy wide receiver McLaurin
of the commanders, the commanders, whereas Trump wants to call
(11:26):
him now just kidding the Redskins. He's a no show
at camp and this guy is a star, but he's
going to lose fifty thousand dollars a day for every
day he continues to not show up at camp. Well again,
because it's a business and it's a contract dispute. That's
why he's unhappy. Terry McLaurin, Yeah, signed a three year contract.
(11:50):
Now this three year contract he's in the final year.
It's a three year, sixty eight mil. Now at the time,
pretty solid contract. But since then you see other wide
receivers getting significant money where that looks like not the
best deal.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Now, yeah, McLaurin has outplayed that contract.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now McLaurin has outplayed guys that are making ten million
dollars more a year. And for the sake of conversation,
you know, this is the business of professional sports. There
is a business side to this that's equally, if not
more important. So I know people are thinking, like, hey,
it's a contract, that's a job. I'm fascinated though, on
both sides of this. Let's also a child's game that
(12:31):
we all dreamt of playing at this level. I'm gonna
pose the question and then I'm gonna give you both sides,
Like the question really is do you get it? And
let me give you both sides, the side of the
organization where they could be done with a player that
has been loyal and great and a contributor. But the
minute a team feels like this guy is not going
(12:52):
to give us what we need, they are so quick
to dump a player like he's a pile of doodoo
on the side of the throw them at the window
like a straw wrapper, like a straw wrapper, like some
litter book, like just throwing some trash. That must be
your move. I know, clearly Rich is the litter bud
(13:12):
throwing out straw wrappers some debris. Yeah, cigarette rich is
probably throwing out all those straws to killing all the turtles, don't.
I know, I've learned. I learned that. I give a hoot.
That's such a random example, you know, that's what he does.
He probably takes a lot of pride in that too.
Pride and littering, because yeah, why would you I'm thinking
(13:33):
of something. You're you're driving down the street. What do
you see people throw out the car window? Used to
be cigarettes, but now like it is straw wrappers because
they probably dissolve in like, yeah, it's biodegradable. I do
that with like banana peels, Like like I'm living in
a car. You want people to hope someone's in a
slip on it, and I'm driving my car driving. Cavino's
(13:53):
responsible for the o'doyle family dying. But you do that right,
racing if you're if you're eating an apple, right, you're
not toss it into a bush. You're like, I have
squirrel a grambar. Who cares? That's that's not littering. I mean,
I I agree that, uh, I would just scroirrel on
to eat a banana peel able. Squirrels need potassium, sam
But anyway, back to your story, do they owners because
(14:17):
the lowers, you know, low potassium in a lot of squirrels.
Owners very quick and management very quick to cut a guy.
He could have been a guy that's been on the
team ten years. He could be up for uh, you know, bonuses.
They're quick to be like, I don't care about the player,
and you see that all the time. They throw them
away like yesterday's doodoo diapers. Yeah, I hope you don't
(14:38):
throw those out the window. But then on the side
of the player, I find that wild when a player
signs a contract and then mid contract they're like, yeah,
I don't really love what I signed, let's reopen this,
or I'm not playing. And I almost feelink you have
to understand both sides. They're both equally sort of gross. No, yeah,
(15:01):
I mean equally accountable for sure. But again that's the
business side of things, and that's why these star players
have star agents. I think that's why when you reach
a certain level in life period you have agents do
your dirty work because you don't want to it gets
too murky. You don't want to mix the negotiation with
(15:22):
the player. You just don't. That's the agent's job. That's
why it gets to that level. Yeah, now, listen, that's
why even at our level you could say we're minions
in the game and grand scheme of broadcasting. But at
this level of the game, like you don't want to
talk money with your boss, you leave that to the agents,
You leave that to the negotiators. You know, that's not
(15:42):
where he should be stepping in. But look, if something's
not settled and it's not right, he doesn't want to
show up in the meantime. That's where we're at, and
he's sacrificing fifty thousand dollars a day, and you got
to ask yourself, that's the business side. Has has he
proven enough? Side? Has he proven enough? Because Danny, you
said he has accomplished they haven't won a Super Bowl.
(16:03):
I always say when a player hasn't won a championship
or something of that caliber, like let's say some guys
on a rinky ding contract in the big picture, but
they win a championship for that city, I find it
more acceptable to be like, let's reopen this bad boy.
Commanders had a good year. They made it to the
NFC Championship Game, but you're on year three of a contract,
you think it's automatic that Washington should be like, all right,
(16:26):
we're gonna make you happy, we'll reopen it. Is that
the standard?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Do we just accept these guys saying I don't want
to play out my contract.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, we see this in every major league right now,
when a player is going into the final year of
their deal. If you want to keep that player happy
and on your team and as a leader, you usually
go in and rework things and extend it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
But you might argue, well, good, because what are you
going to take the side of the team, Because a
lot of times it's like what do you are you
rooting for the billionaire owners or are you rooting for
the player to get what they deserve. I just think
it's interesting that if you are at all productive during
your contract, you never see it through. It's like halfway
through that We live in a world where we see
athletes take this stand where you would assume, or we
(17:08):
were led to believe that they should just be grateful
and happy for most of our life to be playing
a kid's game and getting paid this amount of money.
But in every other job in the world, we should
always take the side of the smaller man, meaning versus
the corporation, Like, why wouldn't you have the players back
as opposed to the multi billion dollar organization. You know,
you should always have their side. It's like if I
(17:30):
was in a dispute, would you have Fox Fox's side
or Steve Cavino's side? You know what I mean. That's
the way you have to look at things. I mean,
for instance, I'm a big Mets fan. As you know,
Pete Alonso got a pretty team friendly deal because no
one really wanted him at the time. And now you're like,
oh crap, Pete's playing great and thirty I'm sorry, twenty
(17:52):
nine teams other than the Mets are thinking, yo, we
could have got Pete Alonzo for like not a lot.
You could have found room in your lineup for pet Alanz,
so first base, DH somewhere. Now, Pete A. Lonzo's having
his best year and now the chatter is, well, they
better open up his contract now to make him happy.
You know, sign the contract. He has leverage, he's he's
put up the stats. They have a new quarterback. That
(18:14):
quarterback needs someone to throw to. Right, he has all
these these reasons to maybe fight for more and they
aren't able to get it done, what would you all
right put yourself in his situation? That's really what it is.
And I don't like these crybaby athletes that demand more.
But if you deserve more than maybe you should fight
for it. And you have that that applies to everybody,
and you have a very little window of primo earnings exactly.
(18:38):
It leaves a bad taste, but that's just business, right.
But when it's done aside is the ugly side. But
if it were you and you were in the middle
of a contract negotiation and you're not getting what you want,
and I say you the collective you listening and you rich,
would you show up to work in the meantime? That's
really what it comes down. But does a little caveat
to what you said. You said if you're in the
(18:58):
middle of the negotiation. He's in the middle of a contract,
but it is a negotiation. Now then it's agociation because
they've sort of reopened it because he said because he
said so, yeah, so the bigger contract is don't mean
Idley squad. I know it's a vague question, but my
question to everyone, we love the feedback. You know, the
most interactive show here on Fox Sports Radio eight seven, seven,
(19:20):
nine nine on Fox. The big question is do you
get it? Like, do you understand both sides of this?
Gross Like ownership could dismiss someone just like that, but
a player in the middle of contract could be like, well,
you know what, I while I did sign the contract,
I now don't like it. I'm gonna sit.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I know that players think to themselves, I can only
get this deal right now, but I'm going to ball
out and I'm gonna get paid way more and hopefully
by that team. And we see what Trey Hendrickson is
going through with the Bengals right now. Seventeen and a
half sacks last season, seventeen and a half sacks is
season prior, and he's saying that they are giving him
(19:58):
an offer that's atrocious Lee Low. So sometimes being top
in the stats still doesn't make your way with a
new contract.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And then if a guy, if a guy's on your
team right and you know he's like unhappy, does that
also sit weird with you? What if what if the
commander is like, yeah, yeah, like we got it, but
it's always gonna sit weird with us. Because this is
sort of a new side to sports that we've only
experienced in like the past ten years or so. He's
pros ain't loyal because it's a business and we've been
saying that for a good five to ten years now.
(20:28):
Where you're seeing people you assume should be or should
be happy and well compensated, they feel they deserve more
and they're taking a stand. It's just something our eyes
and ears are not accustomed to yet. Mancie, what were
we gonna say? No, I don't worry about it.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I was just gonna add that Trey Hendrickson's contract,
the problem is guaranteed money. They don't want to give
it to him past the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
But that also goes to the food though. Yeah, that
also goes to the like well, teams are looking for
shortcuts if if a guy's not performing, they're quick to
want to get out of that deal and somehow find
the least amount of might of pay. So when a
player is over delivering Cavino, maybe it's not weird for
them to want to open a contract mid mid contract essentially.
(21:15):
So it's just interesting. I saw the headline unhappy. I'm like, unhappy.
You're in the middle of a seventy million dollar contract.
But it leaves a bad taste in the average fellows
math because you're such a fan of what they do,
and everyone under the moon would probably trade places with
those type of problems, you know, when everyone's hard on
the grind and live and check to check and just
trying to make ends meet. You know, you don't want
(21:38):
to hear about unhappy unhappy athletes, But when you think
about the position they're playing and the stats are putting
up and the money that's being made on their behalf
for major organizations and franchises, it makes sense. It's just
from a fan perspective, nobody wants to hear that, including myself.
You're unhappy. Let me tell you about my life. See
(21:58):
how unhappy you are. That's how everybody feels, you know
what I mean. So that's why it rubs people the
wrong way. What I've heard once someone once said, pay
us what you owe us? Kidding w W W NBA.
By the way, there's so many layers to that. Is
that why you were wearing those T shirts this week?
You know what? There's so many layers to that. Because
(22:19):
they did sign these big contracts for broadcasting rights and
all this, and the teams are evaluated, are valuated, you know,
significantly high. But you always hear people say that leak
has never turned to profit. So but it's also shame
on the athlete, shame on the artist who signs the
contract and then never sees the money they signed it.
(22:41):
You know, there's a part of an old school part
of me is like tough tatas you signed it, you
did it tough. How many times do you hear about
a music artist that was bamboozled? I understand, but they
told the opportunity that was presented to them at the time.
The best example is your pal missus Travis Kelce, Taylor
Swift and screwter Braun made a deal. But again they
(23:03):
didn't have to make that deal. Taylor Swift is McLaurin
signed the deal halfway through was like, I don't like
this deal. And then she and what she did was
She's like, all right, well then I'm going to re
record all my music. And the fans were there and
have to be at a certain level to pull that off.
And it's a question of is mclauren at that level
that's really it, Taylor Swift level.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, Cove, I understand what you're saying. But at the
same time, if you see other players on your team
that are having their deals reworked, but the team won't
renegotiate with you, that's where we get into the weeds here.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, honestly, think about it. At your own job, whatever
you do for a living, if you asked your boss
for a raise and it's like these these salaries are public,
we'd all feel that way if we all knew what
everybody made. Oh, that is true, that's a big part
of it. Rich and I. You know, we've worked in
radio a long time and one time we saw what
other shows were making and it did make you feel
that way. So that's that's to your point, Danny G.
(23:57):
It's like, you know, you you make these deals and
you're supposed to be content with them, and you're like, hey,
then you know these are the moves I made. Let
me do my best and put my nose to the grind.
But then when you really know that you're putting in
more effort and more results and other people getting paid more,
it rubs you the wrong way. And you do see
other people you're like, that's all they make. They're better
than that person that makes one. It changes. It changes
(24:19):
things when it's public. Do you think you would want
to know if I said, Moncey Danny Jaber, If I
said I have a spreadsheet in front of me right
now that includes the salaries of every on air host
and producer at Fox Sports Radio, take a look, would
you want to or did it bother you? I'd want
to know. You might still bother me, but you don't
want to know. Sometimes you got to reluctantly tip your
hat and say, well, I guess that dude either has
(24:41):
a better agent or he's just better at business.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Right.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
But I think you get a lot of information knowing that.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I think there's too many feelings involved with all those
numbers and everything this sort of job and what they
do too, even though it's public, so it's different for them.
You have to be laser focused in on what you're
doing and what your show is doing.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
But it's an old schoo mentality, Danny g And that's
that's the world we're living in now, and that's why
there's a weird contrast and feeling that we get. Like
Rich and I, we realized that we made probably three
to four times less than this other show made that
we were on the same channel on and in my opinions,
guy sucked and I'm like, what, I can't believe that.
Then you see someone else but getting We did something
(25:21):
on the school where we were mad about it and
we just put our nose to the grind and worked hard, like,
hey man, I guess we got to live with it
in today's world, if you know your worth and know
your value the way McLaurin does, you could make some
moves and you could you could be that guy who
makes the change and to show that it's not just athletes.
One last thought, I know we're running late. I saw
(25:42):
a study that said Generation Z gen Z one of
their one of their commonalities in the workplace is that
they don't even want to take a job interview if
you're not transparent about salary upfront, Like you know, when
you see a different, different mindset. You know, sometimes when
when you look online and you see something, it could
be a work out plan, real estate something, if they
don't show the price right away and you're clicking around
(26:03):
like what's the price, and they're like call us and
find out no, no, no. Generations the younger people, twenty
year olds are like none of that. Bs. How much
before even before I even sit down with you. What
does the job pay? Before I even meet with you?
What's the price of the apartment or house? Or how
about this how we grew up in a culture of
doing extra work and hoping it paid off in the future.
A younger generation is like, yeah, right, what are you
(26:24):
paying me? Or I'm not doing anything. This whole thing
has to do with a different mindset with younger people,
and it's harder for older school thinkers to really grasp
why a guy like McLaurin would be unhappy. I'm feeling
sorry for me either, Rich to be honest, but I
do understand your thoughts. Eight seven seven, nine to nine
on Fox. Will get to all your feedback. Next we'll
(26:46):
do some of homes trivia and a lot to get
to It's a Tuesday, can we known?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Rich?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
So our rest in peace? Sanzi Osbourne celebration show again
bittersweet show, so sad? Obviously like what a shock? But
is there a cooler farewell ever? To perform in front
of all your fans in your hometown. And not only that,
you realize how much money his final show back to
the beginning raised billions and billions. No, it was a
(27:18):
large success. Black Sabbaths Final Show the highest grossing charity
concert of all time. July fifth, just weeks ago, raised
more than two hundred million for three hundred for three charities,
surpassing the amount raised by fire Aid and farm Aid combined.
So two hundred million raised. Got to say his final
goodbyes and farewells, and like Rich alluded to before, held
(27:42):
on long enough to do it and sing it one
last time, and he wanted to like get up and perform,
and they're like, Gazi, you gotta sit down and sell
Rest in Peace, Ozzy Osbourne. Now we get back to
your phone, calls, your feedback eight seven seven nine nine
on Fox. Unhappy Athletes tarre Chlorin in the news today.
You're gonna miss out on fifty thousand dollars a day.
(28:03):
You gonna be fine for not showing up at camp.
He's in the middle of a contract, the third year
of a three year deal. You understand the player side
of things. They see their contemporaries signing bigger deals. They
want to open their deal mid contract, sign a new one.
Ownership quick to tell a guy to beat it and
cut them. So you understand all sides of this. You do.
(28:25):
It's like you never want to mix business with pleasure,
right as the old saying goes. And we get so
much pleasure out of sports that it leaves a bad
taste in our mouth when you hear the business side
of things and the ugly side of things. But the
Tyan Covino is younger people, younger listeners right now. You
know maybe your kids, your nieces, your nephews, your neighbors,
(28:45):
teenagers and twenty year olds. You know what I tell them.
I have a teenage daughter, you know what I and
I will tell her when she enters the the job market.
What are you gonna tell I'm gonna tell her what
Randy Macho man Savage told me. Hard work pays off
and the cream rises to the top. And I believe
the cream rise to the top. I believe in that,
(29:07):
I really do. So you could cry like a big
baby and worry about what other people are doing, or
you put your nose to the grind, You work hard
and you let your results show us you and I
describe a big proponent of work, Smarter, not harder. Covino's
like hard work, cutting corners and being lazy and making
excuses for them. I think when you're worried about what
other people are doing, you're never really doing your best.
(29:27):
Work hard, and the cream will rise to the top.
I still find that to be true. So this guy,
and you know if based on that, I'm old school.
I'm not saying it's the right way because there's a
different way now. But the results will will come if
you continue to work hard and deliver. But you also
have to capitalize when you don't sign the contract. So
(29:51):
I understand how people think today. That doesn't mean I
need to agree with it. Well, based on that article
is also telling you, guys about where younger people gen
z are saying, I want true transparency. What does everyone make?
I want to know what my coworkers make before you
even sit down and have a conversation. New employer, what's
(30:11):
the starting salary? Because I don't even want to People
are saying, I don't even want to waste my time
on a zoomer meeting if you don't tell me the
money up front. Younger people don't have time to Let's
say you're clicking on a service, A plumber, an electrician,
give me the price now, don't be like well, call
and get our estumates I want to know people want transparency.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You ever go to a restaurant and the prices aren't
on the menu, or you go to a food truck
and the prices aren't and you're like, oh, they got
to be high.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
They're not listed, They're going to be high.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
The most you know what, the two scariest letters that
you can see on a menu when you're on a
first date. Two scariest letters that you could see on
a menu when you're on a first date trying to impress.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
When it says market price MP, market price.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
And then the girl with it's like, oh the lobster
MP pew. Tell me my two letters. Not at tea.
Let's go to Josh in Jacksonville. Josh your thoughts when
when players are trying to open contracts mid contract, I mean,
you got to understand it, right, it's the it's the
game now.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
No, I understand it completely. And a long time list
our first time caller.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I appreciate you. I'll taking the time, and I mean
I understand them wanting to open up the deal, but
I mean, more to the point of the younger generation
wanting transparency when it comes to say like I'm not
with understand knowing what other people make, because at the
end of the day, there's no shortcutch of success. It's
hard work. That's all there is. Yours to the grindstone,
but obviously times more important. Eating. It's the only universal
(31:36):
thing we have and everyone has the same amount. So
I'm all for transparency when sitting down, I mean, whether
it be in real estate or in a salary position.
I think that knowing upfront what the base is is
important because why am I going to sit there and
wat thirty minutes out of my day to do that?
But I mean, I understand players, but if you sign
a contract, you should fulfill it. So that's also my right.
(32:00):
With the NFL being one of the only big or
the only big sport that doesn't provide guarantee money all
the way through, that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, you know, I'll tell you what a guy that beanks,
the guy that benefited from the generosity of his team.
You could say they would have absolutely lost him had
they not done this. But you know that brock Purty
could have could have played one more year making like
low s money for the forty nine ers, But they
said he brought us to a Super Bowl NFC Championship game.
They rewarded him. But if you want to play logistics
(32:30):
and you want to be accurate, brock Purty could be
making very little money again this year. But the Niner,
what we would call the forty nine ers, doing the
right thing in the right and you're keeping your workers
and employees happy, and you know that's what you want
from a workplace. But that workplace being your forty nine ers.
So we're talking about unhappy athletes. By the way, it's
the story of Terry McLaurin, of the commander's receiver, who
(32:53):
wants to reopen the contract. And we're going to get
to the rest of your phone calls and feedback eight
seven to seven ninety nine on Fox at Veino and
Rich after Monsy's update, What's oh, what's up?
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Guys, Welcome back, Thank you, miss check my exact event.

Trey Hendrickson also not present at training camp. Kyrin Williams
Rams running back. He's entering the final year of his contract.
He wants a new deal. He is at training camp
and told reporters that he's going to be ready for
Week one.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He has no desire to hold out.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Running Back James Cook in the middle of contract talks

They're retiring from the NFL Matthew after twelve seasons. Jimmy
Graham also plans to retire as a Saint this year.
And lastly, here Bradley Beal is giving up the number
three so that Chris Paul can wear it with the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
You guys, wow, is that right? Though? Twenty one years
Chris Paul? That twenty one years? Yep, that's been crazy, dude,
that really is. And he played all eighty two games
last year. No, that's insane, man, I just can't believe
how time's flying twenty one years for CP three. Props
to him. You said, did you say Jimmy Graham retired?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yes, he hasn't played since twenty twenty three, but officially
announced the retirement today with the Saints.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I was gonna say, I saw a story like a
week ago, and I had a double check. I'm like,
is this the same Jimmy Graham? Did you see that
he did a five hundred plus mile Arctic row. Yeah,
like in the middle of like freezing ice waters. He
was in like it was rowing Superman competition. He's doing
something like you know when you see players leave professional sports,
but they still meet that adrenaline rush. The dude is
(35:05):
rowing in like ice waters in the Arctic, so he'll
be doing Just find Jimmy Graam. Congratulations on a great
NFL career. All right, we got more Kavino on Rich.
We're gonna give away prizes, We'll play some Showtime Mahomes trivia.
We'll talk about your dude, Derek Jeter skipping out on
what is a very special Yankee moment. Is he another
unhappy athlete? You know what, it might be the trend
today more next right here, Kevin and Rich Rest in peace,
(35:32):
Ozzy Osbourne, see you on the other side. Seventy six
years old. So sad man because he just performed on
the fifth, but that was his goodbye and he held
on long enough just to say goodbye to his fans
one last time and we reap all the benefits of
his music. And crazy to think that guy rocking out
(35:53):
for fifty years. And there's a lot of people that
are like the reality show guy Sharon that put them
in the mainstream spotlight. Ozzie is a legend, but there's
a lot of people that don't like heavy metal or
hard rock music that they's not for everybody. But let
me tell you Rich, one hundred million albums. I'm just
saying that there's a lot of people that also look
(36:15):
at him as just such a great personality. Like like
you said, the Yogi Berri and the Yogi Bearra analogy
is perfect, where Yogi Hall of Famer, ten times World
Series Champion and MVP was almost like laughed at times
like Yogi Bera because he was such a big personality.
I think Ozzi was one of those big personalities the
(36:36):
TV show in his musical career really was his really
was coul Or. You could argue, and this by no
means I don't want you to interpret this as me
taken away from his musical legendary career. He was influential
in creating a different sound for rock music that that dark,
almost scary, that's what people need metal sound where you
(36:58):
take for granted now metal or hard rock, it had
never been done that way ever. And it goes back
to Black Sabbath, seeing a horror movie titled Black Sabbath
and saying, hey, if we could capture the feelings that
are ignited by this film and incorporate that in our music,
somehow we could be onto something. And they changed the
game forever with these dark, dreary chord progressions. And then
(37:21):
they infiltrated the mainstream to some regard with that sound
and it changed metal and rock forever. But I think
Ozzy doesn't get enough credit because not only did he
create a sound in music for those rock lovers that
had never been heard. Yeah, the Osbourne's were the first
reality family followed around, so he paved the way in
(37:42):
the rock world and reality TV. What I mean was Adam,
the Cole Smith and what the Cole Ritchie and Paris
Hilton that's hot and the Osbourne's that was. That was
the family before the Real Housewives were a thing, before
people were watching Love Island and all this stupid crep.
The Osbourns were America's first reality teav Remember, Ozzie Osbourne
(38:02):
had a great level of mystique in mystery behind him
before he lets you into his personal life in that way.
So he opened up his home in his heart so
that people could see him as a regular man. You know,
you could say added to his story or it took
away from his mystique. Either way, we reaped the benefit.
(38:24):
I think to listen again, I think that show, whether
you're watching or not, made Ozzie a more lovable mainstream
guy too many. It really did, because I can guarantee
it was groundbreaking at a lot of your moms and sisters,
and for the most part, a lot of people that
didn't like metal or hard rock got to see a
different set of Ozzie and listen, He's been a big
part of a lot of people's lives. Rest in peace,
(38:46):
a legend seventy six years old. Pastoids and We'll be
playing some Ozzie throughout the day and like I said,
catch me on Turbo forty one on Series sixthm tonight
I'll be talking more about it and Ozzie's Boneyard Channel
thirty eight on Series six if you want to check
it now. I do want to get to this Derek
Cheater story. Oh it's wild. We are going to give
away some prizes. It it's a misstep, I understand. I
(39:08):
think I have a good grasp of what's going on. Well,
you know what, since you're I think it's a misstep.
I do, since you're mister Yankee, since you're uh, we're
pinstripe Tony's why don't you give everyone the quick cliff
notes of what's going on with Derek Jeter. We'll discuss
coming up. Yankees haven't had an old Timer's Day really
since like twenty nineteen. They had like one other one
I think just recently, but they haven't done it the
(39:29):
way they did it in the past since pre COVID.
It's the twenty fifth anniversary of the two thousand team.
Derek Cheter was the captain. That's when they beat your Mets. Yeah,
guess what they're getting back together, cheaters A no show.
What are your thoughts? We'll do it next.
