Speaker 3 (00:19):
Was Rich Davis's sports baby by trying to avoid that baseball.
I know, I don't think so he's only doing what's right. Again.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I know, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna hold it
against him like I understood hold it against him last night.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Welcome in, by the way, Isaac Lohan Chroniz here, Jason Stewart,
Ryan Smith. We are in for Cavino and Rich because
they're taking in all the All Star festivities in Atlanta,
as they were in for Dan Patrick earlier today. Last
night I had my son. We were playing some t
ball in the front yard. Fun, yes, but I was
so careful that I wasn't gonna twist an ankle or
(00:53):
rupture my achilles because I got golf to play in
a month with my buddies back home. So that's that's
what I was like, making sure that I don't have
any serious injury trying to corral a line drive in
our front yard. I played it safe, and he just
had double after double after double. Oh good for him.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I understand that's probably where Rich was thinking. I've got
a softball game. I can't throw out a.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Hand, I can't strings.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, I get that, I get that, But I just
I live life on the wild side, so I don't
even think like that.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Moncey's got a volleyball game tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I don't. My team is too good. My team is
too good, and we got to buy in the playoffs.
We're too good. I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I told my team we have to be mid like
the kids say six seven.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Next week, playoff volleyball for Moncey Bologna is off on
this Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
This Tuesday party time.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Jason Stewart the topic going into next week.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
I don't know what we're doing. We're probably doing the
show rest or Rust.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
That is a real thing. That is a real thing,
and I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I'm i'm I'm not happy about this again. We want
to be mid?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Do you because you want to be primed for next
week or because you just don't like missing a week?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
I don't like.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Taking a week off.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I don't. It feels because it's empty in your life.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
No, it feels like I had a week off and
I'm like, oh my gosh, how do I serve again?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
How do I die for this ball? You know, it
feels I know it seems weird, but it does. It's
two weeks of no volleyball, and it's not the same.
Like I can't you.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Can go catch a ball, like you said, right, you
go play catch with your friend. I not many people
know how to play volleyball, so I can't like pepper
with someone. Do you know what pepperine is?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yea, yeah, okay, I'm just making sure you know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I don't know ballparks, but yeah, like you know pepper allowed.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, I just don't. Not a lot, like nobody really
can pepper or like pepper. Well, so it's not like
I can you.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Know, do that? Thank you? It is very sad. Do
you know what a pepper ryan? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yes, yes I do.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Actually yes, like well, yes, that's the difference.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
There are many of us who play golf that can
just go to range and hit balls, not like Mancy Belanos.
She does not have that luxury. You could take a
tennis racket and just volley back against a brick way
against a brick.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Fault, which is and you think maybe you could do
that against the fault, but it's not the same.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You're not hitting line drives.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
No exactly, and no one's sitting at me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I get it. I get it. Well, enjoy the night
off and go get them next week in the volley playoffs. Hey,
I want to let everybody to know that shortly after
the show, our podcast will be going up. And this
is important for two reasons because if you tuned in
wanted to hear Cavino and Rich, you still can't. Danny
g puts the podcast together even though they were in
for Dan Patrick. It's in Covino and Rich. Check out
(03:42):
Dan Patrick as well. But again, if you missed any
of today's show, just check out the podcast. Just search
Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcasts. Be sure
to also follow, rate and review the podcast. Again, just
search Coveno and Rich wherever you get your podcasts. And
if you want to hear the guys from earlier today,
they're there. And if you want to hear from us
earlier today, it's there as well.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Earlier today, right now, right.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now, it is Open Championship week in golf. Oh major
of the year it is. I have a long standing tradition.
Like you play volleyball, I wake up early in the
morning and watch golf and I make a roll of
the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. I have done this for probably, honestly,
I would say twenty five years, thirty years. I'll wake up,
(04:25):
even when I lived back home in the Midwest, different
hours at that point, but I will get the eight pieces.
Sometimes only seven are eating because I've used up all
the frosting already on the first seven.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
The other one, yeah, just.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Plain, but that's okay. I don't mind sacrificing one as
long as the other seven are magnificent. But I'll get
up and I'll watch the Open Championship starting early Thursday morning.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
The cinnamon rules, are you getting the ones that you
have to like roll or the ones that you just
pull apart and they're already ready, so.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's the tube and so you gotta do though.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Uh huh yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Then you unrail and then they're just like stack correct.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Those are because they also have the like fancier ones.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And I use air quotes because they're not very good,
but that you actually have to roll it like it
comes in all. Yes, they're not as good. Those that
you're talking about are the good ones. Those are delish.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
So this is that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
What five in the morning, Yeah, five, I'll get up
at five, but I won't make them until about six
or six thirty, okay, yah, at that point local time,
whatever the case is, that's when I'll usually end up
putting those in the oven and be good for that morning.
I don't do it every morning. I just do it
on one of them morning, one of the morning. Yes,
So I'll keep that streak alive and when I'm up,
(05:38):
I'll be watching the likes of Scotty Scheffler, world number one,
winner of the PGA Championship earlier this year. He's a
two time Masters winner. So there's a lot with Scotty
Scheffler on the table as he looks for major number four,
as he looks for his first Open Championship and his
first Claret jug But Scotty Scheffler spoke today at the
(06:02):
Open Championship at Royal Port Rush about success, about winning,
and it may not be the answer that you would
expect from the world's best player. This is what Scotty
Scheffler said earlier today about winning.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
It feels like you work your whole life to celebrate
winning a tournament for like a few minutes. It only
lasts a few minutes that kind of euphoric feeling, like
to win the Byron Nelson Championship at home. I literally
worked my entire life to become good at golf to
have an opportunity to win that tournament. And you win it,
you celebrate, get to hug, hug my family, my sister's there.
It's such an amazing moment. And then it's like, Okay,
(06:39):
now what are we gonna eat for dinner? You know,
life goes on. This is it great to be able
to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have
in the game of golf. Yet I mean it brings
tears myers to think about because it's literally worked my
entire life to become good at the sport. And to
have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think is
a pretty cool feeling. You know, to get to live
out your dreams, it's very special. But at the end
(06:59):
of the day, it's like, I'm not out here to
inspire the next generation of golfers.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I'm not here to inspire somebody else to be the
best player in the world, because what's the point. You know,
this is not a fulfilling life. It's it's fulfilling from
the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a
sense of like the deepest places of your heart. There's
a lot of people that make it to what they
thought was going to fulfill them in life, and then
you get there, and all of a sudden you get
to number one in the world, and then they're.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Like, what's the point.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
I really do believe that, because you.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Know, what is the point?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
You're like, why do I want to win this tournament
so bad? That's something that I wrestle with on a
daily basis. It's like showing up with the Masters every year.
It's like, why do I want to win this golf
tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the
Open Championship so badly? I don't know, because if I win,
it's gonna be awesome for about two minutes, and then
we're going to get to the next week and it's
gonna be like, hey, you want two majors this year?
How important is it for you to win the FedEx
(07:47):
Cup playoffs and it's just like we're back here again,
you know, So we really do. We work so hard
for such little moments, and you know, I'm kind of
a sick.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
I love putting in the work, I love being able
to practice, I love getting out to live out my dreams.
But at the end of the day, sometimes I just
don't understand the point.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Very revealing, very candid, and very honest from Scotty Scheffler
in that scenario, and I think he's echoing what we're
hearing more and more about just more surprising coming as
he sits there as the number one player in the world.
Lonely at the top is a cliche, but I think
that's everything that Scotty Scheffler is saying right now that,
(08:27):
especially in an individual sport and of what you're trying
to accomplish, the winning of that or being at the
top of the mountain just isn't what it's cracked up
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Crazy to hear from a guy who has pretty much
done everything in golf and like you said, world number one,
but this is something that I think is a real statement.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
There's times and I don't I'm not a world number.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
One in anything, but there are times where I'm thinking,
I'm like, am I what am I doing with my
life to make the world better? And I've thought I
was like, I wish I could win the lottery and
I would open an animal shelter, and I think that's
where I would be the happiest.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I do not that I don't love my job or.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Sitting here with you week to week talking about sports,
because I love it, but I wonder, like, what would
make me like truly the happiest, And I, you know,
I need money to do that.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
So that's that is something a goal I have.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's not landing that media job that pays you one
hundred million dollars. It's getting the million one hundred million.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Dollars so I can go do that. Yeah, so that
I can go help animals.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's what I would want to do. So I really
understand where that's coming from. But it's crazy to hear
it from someone in his position.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It is, and it's a point that we've actually heard
before in the world of golf, but not when the
players number one in the world David Duval about twenty three.
It's twenty four years ago he won the Open Championship.
David Duval for years was considered to be the player,
the best player of the world who have never won
(10:05):
a major. This is also height of Tiger Woods. Like
this is Tiger Woods. Is the guy Tiger Slam From
two thousand to two thousand and one, David Duval is
trying to track down that elusive major and trying to
become number one in the world. This I've probably told
this story a couple of times because I've heard David
(10:26):
Duval retell it as well. Duval ultimately made it to
number one, and he ultimately made he won a major
in winning the two thousand and one British Open. But
he was so obsessed with being number one and winning
that major in taking down Tiger Woods, that he changed
his diet and everything. He said. He wouldn't even take
an after dinner mint from a restaurant because he was
(10:49):
so strict on his diet. So he goes and he
wins the Open Championship, and he's got the Claric jug
in his hand as he's flying back home to the
United States, and he's like, is this it is this
all there is? Like? This is what I've sacrificed so
much that I wouldn't even take a dinner mint, and
I don't feel anything hours after accomplishing what I've put
(11:11):
not only just the past few years, but ultimately your
whole golfing life. David Duval never won a major after
two thousand and one, and I don't think that Scotti Scheffler,
David Duval, and other players are that different in feeling
this sort of feeling. But David Duval revealed all of
this a few years after he won it, not while
(11:32):
he's still trying to track down another major, a career
Grand Slam, to match Rory McRoy, to keep that number
one ranking. That's what's so telling about Scotty Scheffler to
me is that he's doing it while he's in the process,
and to have the wherewithal someone like Naomi Osaka, who
the tennis player who had talked about her struggles. It's
(11:52):
a new athlete, it's a new world. But I also
think that the pressures that these specifically individual athlete have
to deal with that aren't a part of team sports.
Mike Harmon and I a couple of weeks ago. Mike
brought up the point of talking about this is during
Wimbledon of the difference between team sports and individual sports
and how you deal with it mentally. And as we
(12:14):
were talking that, the said, I just think that individual
sports are completely different. And Scotty Scheffler shows why that is.
For as great as his team may be around him,
he's the only one that won the Open Championship. His
caddy with him on the bag. Ted Scott, yeah, he
was with him the whole time, but Ted Scott didn't
win it. He hugs his wife and his kid after
(12:35):
they didn't win it. They were along for the ride.
But he's the only one. And that's what I think
is so different, especially when you compare it to team sports.
Is if you win a championship, if Manzie and I,
you and I win an award as a show, it's
like we share in that we can talk about that
with a percept. Scotty Scheffler's the only one that has that,
so nobody else can understand what he's going through. But
(12:55):
he also has no one to share it with. And
I just thought it was very, very just a clear
explanation of what it's like in the drama of being
number one in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
And I think you hit it right on the money,
the sharing aspect of it, because it can come off
very egotistical if he keeps talking about his win because
he's by himself, Like you tell your best friend that
you want your wife or whatever, and it's like they're
gonna tell you, oh my god, how great.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
But then that's it.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Like if somebody else is there to relive the moment
with you because they were part of it, it keeps
you can keep talking about it. But when you're by yourself,
it's like everyone's like, yeah, no, we know, why do
you keep talking about it?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
But it's like he has nobody else to live it with.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
He has to share it with people who are probably
tired of it, and it is a tough, tough situation.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Not to interrupt, but honey, this trophy is why I
was at the range for ten hours a day and
not with you at home.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
That's remind me of yeah, this is this is now.
I'd rather be there, just like you'd maybe rather be
feeding dogs and cats around the world. That's but that's
like the point as well, is like, look at what
I've got, and maybe I hadn't spend time with you.
I thought it's there's a lot more to it. I
want to bring in Jason Stewart as well, because you
were pretty struck by these comments as well. From the
World Number one.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
I think that's what's so cool about what he said
is that I think I think what he said resonated
with everybody listening, and I think we all have kind
of our own takeaways from it. And you just don't
get athletes that are this sophisticated and this articulate to
lay out feelings like forty on that chair, that's all right.
(14:32):
I've tried to tell Ryan. Once I open the mic
and this this chair goes off, it's amazing. So so
my point is this, it really this is how it
strikes me that it just sounds like a guy who
has something wrong with him. And I'm not I'm not
being flippant with this. It sounds like there's something in
his life that has it needs fixing, he needs to
(14:55):
go to therapy, he needs to do something, and that
if he leaves for work every morning unfulfilled. So if
it's something in his personal life, maybe he is someone
that has not found the faith that fulfills him. Maybe
that whatever that purpose in life that we're all that
we're all struggling to find is he hasn't reached that yet,
because he's never going to be able to enjoy the
(15:18):
results of work until he has fixed what is wrong
with him when he walks out of the house every morning.
And I know that probably sounds a little too philosophical
for this, but that was the takeaway from me and
that we could all relate to. That the people listening
to the show right now could relate to, I had
a bad day at work today, and it's because of
(15:38):
unfixed things that happened in my personal life or in
my personal consciousness. And I think that's the takeaway for
me with Schefter nothing to do with individual sport or
team sport. I think it's just he's telling us that
there's something about him that's unfulfilled.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I think it was Scottie Scheffler that they're the fact
of your going to a tournament the next week. And
I think that's also what he kind of led some
stuff to as well, of like it just doesn't stop
as well, like maybe there's not a point to appreciate
it yet. And you know now that I'm saying that,
maybe that's not the case, considering he says after a
(16:16):
few minutes he's like, Okay, all right, what's And maybe
that LEDs to the point, Yeah, there's and and I
think that you'll understand it's not that there's we use
the term or Jason uses the term wrong, and it's
not that there's something wrong with Scotti Scheffler. There's just
something that's not right at this time, I think, and
(16:38):
if that makes sense, because I think it's an easier
way to look at it of just like, all right,
for some reason, I'm I'm not getting fulfilled by this,
but there's got to be a way where others have
been able to be fulfilled. How do I maybe reach
that point? Isaac?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You want to Yeah, well, first of all, I do
have to dispute Mancy on something. You actually are the
world number one at avoiding jury duty, by the way,
we're all very envious of that. I want to raise
this topic. Do you guys see any similarities with Scotti
Scheffler's comments and kind of what Sean McVeigh recently went through.
(17:15):
He won the Super Bowl, but then he was it
was a mixture of burned out and unfulfilled. Is this
all there is? I'm still in my thirties. What am
I going to do with the rest of my life,
and he came very very close, as it turned out,
to stepping away until he ultimately got rejuvenated really only
in the last year.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, no, I there's just so you guys are all
making really great points, and I think there is a
similarity to that and to what Jason said. I just
think he's like, I'm a golfer. Like I'm not trying
to diminish it. He's just saying, like, I'm just a golfer.
What else am I doing? I'm just an athlete. When
(17:57):
I think if his job was you know, I'm sure
it's exhausting, but being a doctor you probably go home
feeling exhausted and it's hard.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
But I feel like that's a fulfilling job.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You're you're helping people, and you're helping them, right, So
I feel like he's just kind of like, I'm a
golfer and I've done it all and it's like cool,
But what else?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, everything is done for Scottie Scheffler. If everything that
has done around him is for him, whether it be
his his coach, whether it be his caddie, whether it
be his wife, and the traveling like everything is done
for him, and you know, I go back to the
what do I have to show for it? Shore A
big paycheck, right, sure, big sponsorships, but in this trophy here. Sorry,
I wasn't at home, That's how I heard some of
(18:39):
his comments. I also he said something in the first
part early on saying that he doesn't play the game
to inspire people. I don't think anybody does. But I
also think it shows the heavy burden and how Tiger
Woods was wired so different. And when you're talking about
(19:02):
the greats of the world and what in it, we
could even go into other sports, but Tiger obviously wasn't
wired like Scotty Scheffler is. And Tiger had this desire
and this goal to reach the point he was going
to reach the goal that he had set out when
he was younger, and that's to break Jack Nicholas's record
of eighteen majors. Jack Nicholas was an amazing, amazing player
(19:27):
that also had his wife and family around him that
they were a part of the tour. I don't think
golf today is conducive to what it was fifty years ago.
It's not a much smaller scale back then. Now it's
much bigger. You hear you heard a lot about the
Nicholas family. You hear stories about the Nicholas family, Jack
having his son's caddie for his son catting for him
(19:49):
in eighty six, how much his wife sacrificed but also
was along there with him. I'm not making any comments
about Scotty Scheffler in his personal life. That is absolutely
one hundred percent not what I'm saying. But what I'm
saying is is for some reason this has gotten so
big and for Tiger Woods, and to do what he did,
(20:09):
he did inspire a whole generation, the generation that is
Scotty Scheffler like it truly is. And Scotty Scheffler's the
first player that we have had since Tiger Woods to
really match what Tiger has been doing. So for his
greatest Brooks, Skopka and Rory McElroy have been like Scheffler's numbers,
and what he's been doing at times has been Tiger esque.
And even Rory McElroy, who had just mentioned MONTI said
(20:32):
after winning the Masters this year, just months after saying
he had three goals left in life, winning the Masters,
winning an Olympic gold medal, and winning another away Ryder Cup.
He accomplished the first and then admitted at the PGA
Championship and at the US opened that Yeah, there was
a major leutdown after the Masters. I had accomplished what
I had intended to accomplish at least one of those things,
(20:55):
and it took a while for him to get back
on track. Hopefully, for Rory's case, it's back on track
at his home in Northern Ireland this week, but Scotty
Scheffler isn't alone and feeling that way. Rory McElroy felt
that way. David Duval felt that way. It's just to
have the number one player in the world who's at
the top of his game talk about how unfulfilling it
(21:15):
is right now. Crazy.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
I'm not gonna lie. It made me really like Scotti
Scheffler hearing him say that.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I just felt like it was such a real answer
that maybe people are afraid to say.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
People who are successful.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
And are in the media and famous who have money
like that's that took a lot to say because he's
gonna be criticized. People would like, what do you mean
you have all the money in the world, You're a
champion in the world. What are you complaining about when
I have nothing like that's I think the natural reaction
that people are gonna get the first reaction. But what
he said is is absolutely so real. You got there,
(21:49):
and then it's like that's it. I celebrated for twenty
minutes and then we move on and I have.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
To go do it again.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Then you're back to normal.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Well you're back to normal.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
And that whole thing of like I'm not here to
inspire again, and people can read into that and be like,
what do you mean. I also think like the inspiration
comes naturally. You don't get to pick.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
When you're an inspiring person.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
It just happens.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Caitlin Clark didn't pick to be an inspiring WNBA player.
She is inspiring.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
It's just it. You're selected to do that, like Tiger Woods.
So I feel like a lot of what he said
was really brave to say it in his position because
it can be looked at really negatively from the public perception.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Such a great point, because there's so many different ways
that you could take it, and that's why I wanted
to make sure that I said that I don't I'm
not saying that there's problems at home or problems with yeah,
because I think that some people will take it that way,
and I don't that's I don't think that's what he's
saying at all. I think what he's just trying to
say is there are pitfalls to putting everything that you
have in life into one thing and then that not
(22:53):
you know, the fruits of your labor aren't necessarily what
you thought they would be. And if he wins this
week at the Open Championship, guess what, let's get ready
go back home because the FedEx Cup playoffs and like,
there's more tournaments that are that are you gonna be
happening after that? So you're not sitting there basking in
the limelight of winning an Open Championship. It's just it's
a bit of a rat race. Yep. I think maybe
(23:15):
it would be the best way to say it. Final
thoughts Jason on anything of what Scotti Scheffler said out
of this discussion.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I think I just kind of worked this out in
my mind too as you guys were talking that. I
think that the the the weird thing about this is
that the singular focus that Scheffer talks about, and he
also talks about embracing the process. He loves the process.
He loves going out and hitting balls every day, he
really does. But that singular focus, So the same thing
that makes him amazingly great is also making him like
(23:46):
ultimately unfulfilled. Does that make sense? Yeah, And I think
Tiger Woods, I think he's just built completely differently.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yep, that I think. I really do.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Think Tiger Woods wins one major, checks it off, He's
going to the next one, and I think he is
fulfilled by the competition and by beating people's ass. And
I don't think Scheffler is fulfilled by that last part.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I know we're going along. Tiger changed his swing multiple
times not only to can you continue to be great,
but also because he just loved the process of working.
So he's revamping his swing not only to try to
help things, but he just love that process and to
try to reach a greater height. And so it's like
kind of why Tiger's like one of one. But when
he made the inspiring deal, which I totally get, as
(24:32):
you said, you don't choose to inspire people, but it
shows the also the weight that Tiger Woods carried on
his shoulder, that he was able to carry it because
he was a different cat than Scotty Scheffler.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Was, Yeah, there's the thing wrong with finding fulfillment in
kicking someone's ass.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
And working towards that. There's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
And that's so Kobe Bryant I think was fulfilled in
kicking your ass on the court every single day.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
And Scotti Scheffler, I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Maybe he didn't realize this five years ago and this
is just an epiphany that he's having now.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, absolutely, we could go on and on talking about it.
You can always reach Moncey at Monty Bolanos. You can

new threads, did you see the new Chargers uniforms and
the throwbacks that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released today?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I did, obviously. I was super excited to see those
powder blue shorts that the that the Chargers are gonna wear.
I'm gonna go get some.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I loved the Navy, the throwback Navy, and I want
to get the the correct there because everybody names like
there's different blues and they like for different you know,
like speed green, you know, or something like that to go.
But they basically they did the Chargers new gold is
for one of them. They're calling them the Supercharger uniforms.
(26:42):
Which is the Navy, which is I associate that with
Junior say out with their Super Bowl run. The jersey
that they wore in that time period in the mid nineties,
the full Navy one, that's the one that I'm excited about.
The Chargers have the best uniforms in the Night Football
League as a normal set, Like it's not even it's
(27:03):
really not even close. There are a few others that
that that that may rival. Ryan. I like the Raiders
because they don't use white, so it's just a black
can't mess with that. Yes, I love the way that
the Bears home uniforms look with that that Navy. That's
kind of shine the Bear. But I just don't know
anybody that doesn't like what the Chargers do. And what's
(27:24):
amazing is they continue to top themselves. But it's also
because not only because their originals are great and you
add blue pants and you're like, oh, that's awesome as well,
but there is a history that you didn't realize that
you appreciated as much as you did. So now they're
bringing back that look from the mid nineties for a
game this year.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Yeah, you're you're not wrong, because they they don't go
too far away from the colors. They just kind of
add little spices here.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
And there every year. But I'm I I'm all for this.
I may need to buy a new jersey and I
don't need one.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
There's also something with the Chargers, and I want to
get Jason Stewart's thoughts, and then Isaac who is the
Chargers pre and postgame host, we'll get his thoughts as well.
I don't know if we need Raider Ryan Smith's thoughts
on this.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Please, yes, that's what I'm gonna call you from now on.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Well, we had a raider Ryan here at one time,
a long time ago, Ryan Payne. But we want to
have to get your thoughts. But the thing that I
want to decipher is the Dan Fouts Chargers. The Kellen
Winslow senior Charger uniforms from the early eighties are different.
It's a different shade of blue. It's a this is
(28:30):
the darker one of the nineties. As I mentioned, Junior
seou Stan humphreyes Natron means that's the names. Those are
the names that you're gonna think of when you see
these uniforms, not the blue that they tended to have.
They had a blue alternate that they had worn recently.
That's more a nod to the Dan Fouts era in
the early eighties. This is different more towards the nineties.
(28:52):
Jason Stewart, Are you're gonna get a Derwin James jersey
so with any of the new colors? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:59):
The answers noted that the only reason I had a
Derwin James jersey. Just to backup for listeners, I went
to TJ Max and there was an actual jersey for
nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, you gotta buy it.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I said, what's the catch here? And then I got
home and realized that he changes number from thirty three
to three, and that's why. That's why it was a
marked out. So now I have a throwback.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
We can just add a three to it.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
That's true. I always feel like this is very much
a Dan buyer subject. It's almost like when your wife
or a girlfriend like are looking at you to have
a comment about a new thing on them. I'm not
the guy that recognizes these things. If you got it,
like your haircut or something, I'm so oblivious. But when
Dan makes makes me look at these things, Yeah, those
(29:41):
are some attractive unis. I'm into them. I like them.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Well, I agree.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
This is one of the things that Dan geeks out about.
Oh yeah, and he remembers them all of them by detail.
Well I like this one because there's a little red
stitch on the side instead of the black stitch.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Oh well, you're not necessarily wrong, because there's something with
the Tampa Bay Buccaneer uniforms. Then we'll get to Isaacy.
I'll have the update and he can weigh into the
Bolt uniforms as well. So the Buccaneers are fiftieth anniversary
of them coming into the National Football League, so they
are wearing their They've unveiled a throwback uniform of their
white uniforms. They usually do the orange ones creamsicle ones
(30:21):
once a year. Now they're doing a throwback white one.
What's different about this one because they had a couple
of different ones throughout their times when they wore the
creamsicle When they first came into the league, the numbers
were orange, like a bright orange. In the late eighties
early nineties, before they switched to the pewter the white
uniforms had red numbering with the orange creamsicle trim. This
(30:44):
is flipped so it's more of an orange letter which
looks better and I'll show you during the break Manzi.
And there's one other point in the re done of
Bucco Bruce and the redo of it, there are more
creases in line in his face than the wor at
the original logo in nineteen seventy six. So for somehow
(31:05):
in the reproduction of this, it's almost it almost looks
like he could be even a little bit more weathered,
because there's just the nineteen seventy six logo was so
clean and crisp when they reproduced it and have reproduced
it over previous years, it's not as crisp as the
one they unveiled in the mid nineteen seventies when they
became a team. Just telling you it's true. You can
(31:27):
look at different versions, they're different. But that's what's different
about the Bucks uniform as opposed to maybe other white
creamsicle uniforms they wore.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Okay, and the mode you missed your opportunity in fashion here.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Dan, I'm just when I love uniforms and helmets and
I love end zones.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Details, yes, those details exactly. I'm not surprised that you
dove into it like that. I think you missed an
opportunity in fashion.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
So a former WNBA star now turned basketball analyst because
she does it for the men's game and the women's game.
Candace Parker had some comments this week and speaking with
Complex Sports about where she puts Caitlin Clark in the
hierarchy of WNBA stars. This was Candace Parker talking about
where she has the fever guard at this point.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
This is where it gets tricky. Kaitlyn Clark is at
an a level. I think in time she's gonna rease
up to that S. But in order to put her
at that level, you got to have a couple more years.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
And the S is the highest level that was reserved
for three players, Asia Wilson, the Fisa Collier and Brianna Stewart.
So on the tier below WNBA superstars, do we actually
have a reasonable Caitlyn Clark take today?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Yes, I am not mad at all at what kandas
Parker said, I mean, this is only Kaitlyn Clark's second year.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
And this isn't a who moves the needle the most.
This isn't enough. Who are people tuning in to watch
the most?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
She as a former player who, by the way, successful
career by all means, is saying like we need to
see a little bit more. We actually do have three
superstars based on their level of skill and their play
and the three she mentioned. I completely understood why she
put it that way. I don't think this was a
diss at all. And like she said, she's already at
(34:06):
a level. Let's just give her some more years. And
right now, this year, Caitlin Clark's injuries, She's missed several games.
She's having a shooting slump since returning from these injuries,
the quad, the groin has been below her average in points,
not shooting the ball. Well, her sister's still there and
so you know, her impact is still there.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
But I thought this was very reasonable.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I have no problem with Kandice Parker putting her in
the tier right below S, which was the top tier.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah. S is like the A plus, right.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
I took it a superstares her superstar, right, Yeah, I'm
good with that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
But there's another layer to this because tonight we get
a bit of a rematch. The Connecticut's Sun in the
Indiana Fever are playing a game. It's a Sun home
game tonight, so in Connecticut, right sure, long long Again.
For the second straight year, the Connecticut On are moving
(35:01):
their home game with the Indiana Fever to a larger venue,
just like the Dallas Wings are or did or they did. Okay,
so it's either did or it's coming up.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
No, they did, and it was bad because she didn't
play so like they had moved it and then she
got hurt and it was.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Like, oh, this is not the plan.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's fine. They moved the game to try to accommodate
the number of fans that they thought were going to attend.
So now it's going to be played in Boston tonight
at TD Garden, the home of the Boston Celtics for
the second straight year. And I saw a shot of
the arena eighteen thousand orange shirts representing the Connecticut Sun tonight,
And first of all, I think it's great that they're
(35:39):
able to go to places just like Dallas tried to move,
and they didn't go to Providence like they went to Boston,
which is it's not far far, but it's not necessarily
close either. They could have just gone a few miles
over to Providence and ended up putting a game there,
but no, they wanted it in Boston, home of the Celtics,
to gain more interest. And I'm really intrigued to see
(35:59):
tonight if the crowd will be pro son because of
the drama between Caitlyn Clark, and so if he Cunningham
and the Fever with the with the members of the
Connecticut Son.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Marina Maybree, I think it's her name that exactly that
like checked her in that moment. Yeah, I am very
much curious to see how this game is gonna go
from the perspective of how the girls are gonna play
these ladies. Are we gonna see a little bit of
tensions running high, maybe a couple of shoves here in there.
I want to I want to know how the refs
(36:32):
are gonna handle this because it seems like it's gonna
be a heightened game, and I want to see how
many people put on that shirt.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Dan, that's gonna be the orange. Yes, that's gonna be
very telling you.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I think that that. I don't think it'll be thunder esque,
but I think that a lot of people will wear it.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Even ones that are there to just let's say, watch
Kitlyn Clark not necessarily be a fan of either team.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Right I Yeah, I could be wrong. I think it's
gonna be a pro Sun crowd tonight. Jason Stewart disagrees
with me. He thinks it's going to be all about
Caitlyn Clark tonight.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
That seems to be my thinking. Is this that all
these arenas around the WNBA that are packed when they
move into different arenas, I want to say they went
over here to Staples.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
I just think that most of the crowd is there
to see Caitlin Clark be Kitlin Clark, and then their
small percentage are just like the followers of their own team.
So that dynamic, to me, is going to be interesting tonight.
If I'm proven wrong.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
I'm going to tell you what the best, the best
thing that could happen for the w NBA tonight, tell
us Caitlin Clark to be booed.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Wow, look at this.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Because it now becomes about the rivalry with the team,
not about Tuningham. Expect she will probably get booed. I
think that would be the best thing, because now we're
talking about teams and these rivalries and it maybe just
isn't so personal, it's about basketball and hate.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Well, well, Kaitlyn, Caitlyn Clark get booed to case'll seem

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Was Rich Davis's sports baby by trying to avoid that baseball.
I know, I don't think so he's only doing what's right. Again.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I know, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna hold it
against him like I understood hold it against him last night.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Welcome in, by the way, Isaac Lohan Chroniz here, Jason Stewart,
Ryan Smith. We are in for Cavino and Rich because
they're taking in all the All Star festivities in Atlanta,
as they were in for Dan Patrick earlier today. Last
night I had my son. We were playing some t
ball in the front yard. Fun, yes, but I was
so careful that I wasn't gonna twist an ankle or
(00:53):
rupture my achilles because I got golf to play in
a month with my buddies back home. So that's that's
what I was like, making sure that I don't have
any serious injury trying to corral a line drive in
our front yard. I played it safe, and he just
had double after double after double. Oh good for him.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I understand that's probably where Rich was thinking. I've got
a softball game. I can't throw out a.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Hand, I can't strings.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, I get that, I get that, But I just
I live life on the wild side, so I don't
even think like that.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Moncey's got a volleyball game tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I don't. My team is too good. My team is
too good, and we got to buy in the playoffs.
We're too good. I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I told my team we have to be mid like
the kids say six seven.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Next week, playoff volleyball for Moncey Bologna is off on
this Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
This Tuesday party time.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Jason Stewart the topic going into next week.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
I don't know what we're doing. We're probably doing the
show rest or Rust.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
That is a real thing. That is a real thing,
and I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I'm i'm I'm not happy about this again. We want
to be mid?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Do you because you want to be primed for next
week or because you just don't like missing a week?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
I don't like.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Taking a week off.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I don't. It feels because it's empty in your life.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
No, it feels like I had a week off and
I'm like, oh my gosh, how do I serve again?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
How do I die for this ball? You know, it
feels I know it seems weird, but it does. It's
two weeks of no volleyball, and it's not the same.
Like I can't you.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Can go catch a ball, like you said, right, you
go play catch with your friend. I not many people
know how to play volleyball, so I can't like pepper
with someone. Do you know what pepperine is?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yea, yeah, okay, I'm just making sure you know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I don't know ballparks, but yeah, like you know pepper allowed.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, I just don't. Not a lot, like nobody really
can pepper or like pepper. Well, so it's not like
I can you.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Know, do that? Thank you? It is very sad. Do
you know what a pepper ryan? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yes, yes I do.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Actually yes, like well, yes, that's the difference.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
There are many of us who play golf that can
just go to range and hit balls, not like Mancy Belanos.
She does not have that luxury. You could take a
tennis racket and just volley back against a brick way
against a brick.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Fault, which is and you think maybe you could do
that against the fault, but it's not the same.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You're not hitting line drives.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
No exactly, and no one's sitting at me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I get it. I get it. Well, enjoy the night
off and go get them next week in the volley playoffs. Hey,
I want to let everybody to know that shortly after
the show, our podcast will be going up. And this
is important for two reasons because if you tuned in
wanted to hear Cavino and Rich, you still can't. Danny
g puts the podcast together even though they were in
for Dan Patrick. It's in Covino and Rich. Check out
(03:42):
Dan Patrick as well. But again, if you missed any
of today's show, just check out the podcast. Just search
Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcasts. Be sure
to also follow, rate and review the podcast. Again, just
search Coveno and Rich wherever you get your podcasts. And
if you want to hear the guys from earlier today,
they're there. And if you want to hear from us
earlier today, it's there as well.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Earlier today, right now, right.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now, it is Open Championship week in golf. Oh major
of the year it is. I have a long standing tradition.
Like you play volleyball, I wake up early in the
morning and watch golf and I make a roll of
the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. I have done this for probably, honestly,
I would say twenty five years, thirty years. I'll wake up,
(04:25):
even when I lived back home in the Midwest, different
hours at that point, but I will get the eight pieces.
Sometimes only seven are eating because I've used up all
the frosting already on the first seven.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
The other one, yeah, just.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Plain, but that's okay. I don't mind sacrificing one as
long as the other seven are magnificent. But I'll get
up and I'll watch the Open Championship starting early Thursday morning.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
The cinnamon rules, are you getting the ones that you
have to like roll or the ones that you just
pull apart and they're already ready, so.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's the tube and so you gotta do though.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Uh huh yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Then you unrail and then they're just like stack correct.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Those are because they also have the like fancier ones.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And I use air quotes because they're not very good,
but that you actually have to roll it like it
comes in all. Yes, they're not as good. Those that
you're talking about are the good ones. Those are delish.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
So this is that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
What five in the morning, Yeah, five, I'll get up
at five, but I won't make them until about six
or six thirty, okay, yah, at that point local time,
whatever the case is, that's when I'll usually end up
putting those in the oven and be good for that morning.
I don't do it every morning. I just do it
on one of them morning, one of the morning. Yes,
So I'll keep that streak alive and when I'm up,
(05:38):
I'll be watching the likes of Scotty Scheffler, world number one,
winner of the PGA Championship earlier this year. He's a
two time Masters winner. So there's a lot with Scotty
Scheffler on the table as he looks for major number four,
as he looks for his first Open Championship and his
first Claret jug But Scotty Scheffler spoke today at the
(06:02):
Open Championship at Royal Port Rush about success, about winning,
and it may not be the answer that you would
expect from the world's best player. This is what Scotty
Scheffler said earlier today about winning.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
It feels like you work your whole life to celebrate
winning a tournament for like a few minutes. It only
lasts a few minutes that kind of euphoric feeling, like
to win the Byron Nelson Championship at home. I literally
worked my entire life to become good at golf to
have an opportunity to win that tournament. And you win it,
you celebrate, get to hug, hug my family, my sister's there.
It's such an amazing moment. And then it's like, Okay,
(06:39):
now what are we gonna eat for dinner? You know,
life goes on. This is it great to be able
to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have
in the game of golf. Yet I mean it brings
tears myers to think about because it's literally worked my
entire life to become good at the sport. And to
have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think is
a pretty cool feeling. You know, to get to live
out your dreams, it's very special. But at the end
(06:59):
of the day, it's like, I'm not out here to
inspire the next generation of golfers.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I'm not here to inspire somebody else to be the
best player in the world, because what's the point. You know,
this is not a fulfilling life. It's it's fulfilling from
the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a
sense of like the deepest places of your heart. There's
a lot of people that make it to what they
thought was going to fulfill them in life, and then
you get there, and all of a sudden you get
to number one in the world, and then they're.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Like, what's the point.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
I really do believe that, because you.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Know, what is the point?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
You're like, why do I want to win this tournament
so bad? That's something that I wrestle with on a
daily basis. It's like showing up with the Masters every year.
It's like, why do I want to win this golf
tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the
Open Championship so badly? I don't know, because if I win,
it's gonna be awesome for about two minutes, and then
we're going to get to the next week and it's
gonna be like, hey, you want two majors this year?
How important is it for you to win the FedEx
(07:47):
Cup playoffs and it's just like we're back here again,
you know, So we really do. We work so hard
for such little moments, and you know, I'm kind of
a sick.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
I love putting in the work, I love being able
to practice, I love getting out to live out my dreams.
But at the end of the day, sometimes I just
don't understand the point.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Very revealing, very candid, and very honest from Scotty Scheffler
in that scenario, and I think he's echoing what we're
hearing more and more about just more surprising coming as
he sits there as the number one player in the world.
Lonely at the top is a cliche, but I think
that's everything that Scotty Scheffler is saying right now that,
(08:27):
especially in an individual sport and of what you're trying
to accomplish, the winning of that or being at the
top of the mountain just isn't what it's cracked up
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Crazy to hear from a guy who has pretty much
done everything in golf and like you said, world number one,
but this is something that I think is a real statement.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
There's times and I don't I'm not a world number.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
One in anything, but there are times where I'm thinking,
I'm like, am I what am I doing with my
life to make the world better? And I've thought I
was like, I wish I could win the lottery and
I would open an animal shelter, and I think that's
where I would be the happiest.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I do not that I don't love my job or.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Sitting here with you week to week talking about sports,
because I love it, but I wonder, like, what would
make me like truly the happiest, And I, you know,
I need money to do that.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
So that's that is something a goal I have.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's not landing that media job that pays you one
hundred million dollars. It's getting the million one hundred million.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Dollars so I can go do that. Yeah, so that
I can go help animals.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's what I would want to do. So I really
understand where that's coming from. But it's crazy to hear
it from someone in his position.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It is, and it's a point that we've actually heard
before in the world of golf, but not when the
players number one in the world David Duval about twenty three.
It's twenty four years ago he won the Open Championship.
David Duval for years was considered to be the player,
the best player of the world who have never won
(10:05):
a major. This is also height of Tiger Woods. Like
this is Tiger Woods. Is the guy Tiger Slam From
two thousand to two thousand and one, David Duval is
trying to track down that elusive major and trying to
become number one in the world. This I've probably told
this story a couple of times because I've heard David
(10:26):
Duval retell it as well. Duval ultimately made it to
number one, and he ultimately made he won a major
in winning the two thousand and one British Open. But
he was so obsessed with being number one and winning
that major in taking down Tiger Woods, that he changed
his diet and everything. He said. He wouldn't even take
an after dinner mint from a restaurant because he was
(10:49):
so strict on his diet. So he goes and he
wins the Open Championship, and he's got the Claric jug
in his hand as he's flying back home to the
United States, and he's like, is this it is this
all there is? Like? This is what I've sacrificed so
much that I wouldn't even take a dinner mint, and
I don't feel anything hours after accomplishing what I've put
(11:11):
not only just the past few years, but ultimately your
whole golfing life. David Duval never won a major after
two thousand and one, and I don't think that Scotti Scheffler,
David Duval, and other players are that different in feeling
this sort of feeling. But David Duval revealed all of
this a few years after he won it, not while
(11:32):
he's still trying to track down another major, a career
Grand Slam, to match Rory McRoy, to keep that number
one ranking. That's what's so telling about Scotty Scheffler to
me is that he's doing it while he's in the process,
and to have the wherewithal someone like Naomi Osaka, who
the tennis player who had talked about her struggles. It's
(11:52):
a new athlete, it's a new world. But I also
think that the pressures that these specifically individual athlete have
to deal with that aren't a part of team sports.
Mike Harmon and I a couple of weeks ago. Mike
brought up the point of talking about this is during
Wimbledon of the difference between team sports and individual sports
and how you deal with it mentally. And as we
(12:14):
were talking that, the said, I just think that individual
sports are completely different. And Scotty Scheffler shows why that is.
For as great as his team may be around him,
he's the only one that won the Open Championship. His
caddy with him on the bag. Ted Scott, yeah, he
was with him the whole time, but Ted Scott didn't
win it. He hugs his wife and his kid after
(12:35):
they didn't win it. They were along for the ride.
But he's the only one. And that's what I think
is so different, especially when you compare it to team sports.
Is if you win a championship, if Manzie and I,
you and I win an award as a show, it's
like we share in that we can talk about that
with a percept. Scotty Scheffler's the only one that has that,
so nobody else can understand what he's going through. But
(12:55):
he also has no one to share it with. And
I just thought it was very, very just a clear
explanation of what it's like in the drama of being
number one in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
And I think you hit it right on the money,
the sharing aspect of it, because it can come off
very egotistical if he keeps talking about his win because
he's by himself, Like you tell your best friend that
you want your wife or whatever, and it's like they're
gonna tell you, oh my god, how great.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
But then that's it.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Like if somebody else is there to relive the moment
with you because they were part of it, it keeps
you can keep talking about it. But when you're by yourself,
it's like everyone's like, yeah, no, we know, why do
you keep talking about it?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
But it's like he has nobody else to live it with.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
He has to share it with people who are probably
tired of it, and it is a tough, tough situation.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Not to interrupt, but honey, this trophy is why I
was at the range for ten hours a day and
not with you at home.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
That's remind me of yeah, this is this is now.
I'd rather be there, just like you'd maybe rather be
feeding dogs and cats around the world. That's but that's
like the point as well, is like, look at what
I've got, and maybe I hadn't spend time with you.
I thought it's there's a lot more to it. I
want to bring in Jason Stewart as well, because you
were pretty struck by these comments as well. From the
World Number one.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
I think that's what's so cool about what he said
is that I think I think what he said resonated
with everybody listening, and I think we all have kind
of our own takeaways from it. And you just don't
get athletes that are this sophisticated and this articulate to
lay out feelings like forty on that chair, that's all right.
(14:32):
I've tried to tell Ryan. Once I open the mic
and this this chair goes off, it's amazing. So so
my point is this, it really this is how it
strikes me that it just sounds like a guy who
has something wrong with him. And I'm not I'm not
being flippant with this. It sounds like there's something in
his life that has it needs fixing, he needs to
(14:55):
go to therapy, he needs to do something, and that
if he leaves for work every morning unfulfilled. So if
it's something in his personal life, maybe he is someone
that has not found the faith that fulfills him. Maybe
that whatever that purpose in life that we're all that
we're all struggling to find is he hasn't reached that yet,
because he's never going to be able to enjoy the
(15:18):
results of work until he has fixed what is wrong
with him when he walks out of the house every morning.
And I know that probably sounds a little too philosophical
for this, but that was the takeaway from me and
that we could all relate to. That the people listening
to the show right now could relate to, I had
a bad day at work today, and it's because of
(15:38):
unfixed things that happened in my personal life or in
my personal consciousness. And I think that's the takeaway for
me with Schefter nothing to do with individual sport or
team sport. I think it's just he's telling us that
there's something about him that's unfulfilled.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I think it was Scottie Scheffler that they're the fact
of your going to a tournament the next week. And
I think that's also what he kind of led some
stuff to as well, of like it just doesn't stop
as well, like maybe there's not a point to appreciate
it yet. And you know now that I'm saying that,
maybe that's not the case, considering he says after a
(16:16):
few minutes he's like, Okay, all right, what's And maybe
that LEDs to the point, Yeah, there's and and I
think that you'll understand it's not that there's we use
the term or Jason uses the term wrong, and it's
not that there's something wrong with Scotti Scheffler. There's just
something that's not right at this time, I think, and
(16:38):
if that makes sense, because I think it's an easier
way to look at it of just like, all right,
for some reason, I'm I'm not getting fulfilled by this,
but there's got to be a way where others have
been able to be fulfilled. How do I maybe reach
that point? Isaac?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You want to Yeah, well, first of all, I do
have to dispute Mancy on something. You actually are the
world number one at avoiding jury duty, by the way,
we're all very envious of that. I want to raise
this topic. Do you guys see any similarities with Scotti
Scheffler's comments and kind of what Sean McVeigh recently went through.
(17:15):
He won the Super Bowl, but then he was it
was a mixture of burned out and unfulfilled. Is this
all there is? I'm still in my thirties. What am
I going to do with the rest of my life,
and he came very very close, as it turned out,
to stepping away until he ultimately got rejuvenated really only
in the last year.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, no, I there's just so you guys are all
making really great points, and I think there is a
similarity to that and to what Jason said. I just
think he's like, I'm a golfer. Like I'm not trying
to diminish it. He's just saying, like, I'm just a golfer.
What else am I doing? I'm just an athlete. When
(17:57):
I think if his job was you know, I'm sure
it's exhausting, but being a doctor you probably go home
feeling exhausted and it's hard.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
But I feel like that's a fulfilling job.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You're you're helping people, and you're helping them, right, So
I feel like he's just kind of like, I'm a
golfer and I've done it all and it's like cool,
But what else?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, everything is done for Scottie Scheffler. If everything that
has done around him is for him, whether it be
his his coach, whether it be his caddie, whether it
be his wife, and the traveling like everything is done
for him, and you know, I go back to the
what do I have to show for it? Shore A
big paycheck, right, sure, big sponsorships, but in this trophy here. Sorry,
I wasn't at home, That's how I heard some of
(18:39):
his comments. I also he said something in the first
part early on saying that he doesn't play the game
to inspire people. I don't think anybody does. But I
also think it shows the heavy burden and how Tiger
Woods was wired so different. And when you're talking about
(19:02):
the greats of the world and what in it, we
could even go into other sports, but Tiger obviously wasn't
wired like Scotty Scheffler is. And Tiger had this desire
and this goal to reach the point he was going
to reach the goal that he had set out when
he was younger, and that's to break Jack Nicholas's record
of eighteen majors. Jack Nicholas was an amazing, amazing player
(19:27):
that also had his wife and family around him that
they were a part of the tour. I don't think
golf today is conducive to what it was fifty years ago.
It's not a much smaller scale back then. Now it's
much bigger. You hear you heard a lot about the
Nicholas family. You hear stories about the Nicholas family, Jack
having his son's caddie for his son catting for him
(19:49):
in eighty six, how much his wife sacrificed but also
was along there with him. I'm not making any comments
about Scotty Scheffler in his personal life. That is absolutely
one hundred percent not what I'm saying. But what I'm
saying is is for some reason this has gotten so
big and for Tiger Woods, and to do what he did,
(20:09):
he did inspire a whole generation, the generation that is
Scotty Scheffler like it truly is. And Scotty Scheffler's the
first player that we have had since Tiger Woods to
really match what Tiger has been doing. So for his
greatest Brooks, Skopka and Rory McElroy have been like Scheffler's numbers,
and what he's been doing at times has been Tiger esque.
And even Rory McElroy, who had just mentioned MONTI said
(20:32):
after winning the Masters this year, just months after saying
he had three goals left in life, winning the Masters,
winning an Olympic gold medal, and winning another away Ryder Cup.
He accomplished the first and then admitted at the PGA
Championship and at the US opened that Yeah, there was
a major leutdown after the Masters. I had accomplished what
I had intended to accomplish at least one of those things,
(20:55):
and it took a while for him to get back
on track. Hopefully, for Rory's case, it's back on track
at his home in Northern Ireland this week, but Scotty
Scheffler isn't alone and feeling that way. Rory McElroy felt
that way. David Duval felt that way. It's just to
have the number one player in the world who's at
the top of his game talk about how unfulfilling it
(21:15):
is right now. Crazy.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
I'm not gonna lie. It made me really like Scotti
Scheffler hearing him say that.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I just felt like it was such a real answer
that maybe people are afraid to say.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
People who are successful.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
And are in the media and famous who have money
like that's that took a lot to say because he's
gonna be criticized. People would like, what do you mean
you have all the money in the world, You're a
champion in the world. What are you complaining about when
I have nothing like that's I think the natural reaction
that people are gonna get the first reaction. But what
he said is is absolutely so real. You got there,
(21:49):
and then it's like that's it. I celebrated for twenty
minutes and then we move on and I have.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
To go do it again.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Then you're back to normal.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Well you're back to normal.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
And that whole thing of like I'm not here to
inspire again, and people can read into that and be like,
what do you mean. I also think like the inspiration
comes naturally. You don't get to pick.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
When you're an inspiring person.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
It just happens.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Caitlin Clark didn't pick to be an inspiring WNBA player.
She is inspiring.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
It's just it. You're selected to do that, like Tiger Woods.
So I feel like a lot of what he said
was really brave to say it in his position because
it can be looked at really negatively from the public perception.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Such a great point, because there's so many different ways
that you could take it, and that's why I wanted
to make sure that I said that I don't I'm
not saying that there's problems at home or problems with yeah,
because I think that some people will take it that way,
and I don't that's I don't think that's what he's
saying at all. I think what he's just trying to
say is there are pitfalls to putting everything that you
have in life into one thing and then that not
(22:53):
you know, the fruits of your labor aren't necessarily what
you thought they would be. And if he wins this
week at the Open Championship, guess what, let's get ready
go back home because the FedEx Cup playoffs and like,
there's more tournaments that are that are you gonna be
happening after that? So you're not sitting there basking in
the limelight of winning an Open Championship. It's just it's
a bit of a rat race. Yep. I think maybe
(23:15):
it would be the best way to say it. Final
thoughts Jason on anything of what Scotti Scheffler said out
of this discussion.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I think I just kind of worked this out in
my mind too as you guys were talking that. I
think that the the the weird thing about this is
that the singular focus that Scheffer talks about, and he
also talks about embracing the process. He loves the process.
He loves going out and hitting balls every day, he
really does. But that singular focus, So the same thing
that makes him amazingly great is also making him like
(23:46):
ultimately unfulfilled. Does that make sense? Yeah, And I think
Tiger Woods, I think he's just built completely differently.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yep, that I think. I really do.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Think Tiger Woods wins one major, checks it off, He's
going to the next one, and I think he is
fulfilled by the competition and by beating people's ass. And
I don't think Scheffler is fulfilled by that last part.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I know we're going along. Tiger changed his swing multiple
times not only to can you continue to be great,
but also because he just loved the process of working.
So he's revamping his swing not only to try to
help things, but he just love that process and to
try to reach a greater height. And so it's like
kind of why Tiger's like one of one. But when
he made the inspiring deal, which I totally get, as
(24:32):
you said, you don't choose to inspire people, but it
shows the also the weight that Tiger Woods carried on
his shoulder, that he was able to carry it because
he was a different cat than Scotty Scheffler.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Was, Yeah, there's the thing wrong with finding fulfillment in
kicking someone's ass.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
And working towards that. There's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
And that's so Kobe Bryant I think was fulfilled in
kicking your ass on the court every single day.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
And Scotti Scheffler, I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Maybe he didn't realize this five years ago and this
is just an epiphany that he's having now.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, absolutely, we could go on and on talking about it.

new threads, did you see the new Chargers uniforms and
the throwbacks that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released today?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I did, obviously. I was super excited to see those
powder blue shorts that the that the Chargers are gonna wear.
I'm gonna go get some.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I loved the Navy, the throwback Navy, and I want
to get the the correct there because everybody names like
there's different blues and they like for different you know,
like speed green, you know, or something like that to go.
But they basically they did the Chargers new gold is
for one of them. They're calling them the Supercharger uniforms.
(26:42):
Which is the Navy, which is I associate that with
Junior say out with their Super Bowl run. The jersey
that they wore in that time period in the mid nineties,
the full Navy one, that's the one that I'm excited about.
The Chargers have the best uniforms in the Night Football
League as a normal set, Like it's not even it's
(27:03):
really not even close. There are a few others that
that that that may rival. Ryan. I like the Raiders
because they don't use white, so it's just a black
can't mess with that. Yes, I love the way that
the Bears home uniforms look with that that Navy. That's
kind of shine the Bear. But I just don't know
anybody that doesn't like what the Chargers do. And what's
(27:24):
amazing is they continue to top themselves. But it's also
because not only because their originals are great and you
add blue pants and you're like, oh, that's awesome as well,
but there is a history that you didn't realize that
you appreciated as much as you did. So now they're
bringing back that look from the mid nineties for a
game this year.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Yeah, you're you're not wrong, because they they don't go
too far away from the colors. They just kind of
add little spices here.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
And there every year. But I'm I I'm all for this.
I may need to buy a new jersey and I
don't need one.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
There's also something with the Chargers, and I want to
get Jason Stewart's thoughts, and then Isaac who is the
Chargers pre and postgame host, we'll get his thoughts as well.
I don't know if we need Raider Ryan Smith's thoughts
on this.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Please, yes, that's what I'm gonna call you from now on.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Well, we had a raider Ryan here at one time,
a long time ago, Ryan Payne. But we want to
have to get your thoughts. But the thing that I
want to decipher is the Dan Fouts Chargers. The Kellen
Winslow senior Charger uniforms from the early eighties are different.
It's a different shade of blue. It's a this is
(28:30):
the darker one of the nineties. As I mentioned, Junior
seou Stan humphreyes Natron means that's the names. Those are
the names that you're gonna think of when you see
these uniforms, not the blue that they tended to have.
They had a blue alternate that they had worn recently.
That's more a nod to the Dan Fouts era in
the early eighties. This is different more towards the nineties.
(28:52):
Jason Stewart, Are you're gonna get a Derwin James jersey
so with any of the new colors? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:59):
The answers noted that the only reason I had a
Derwin James jersey. Just to backup for listeners, I went
to TJ Max and there was an actual jersey for
nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, you gotta buy it.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I said, what's the catch here? And then I got
home and realized that he changes number from thirty three
to three, and that's why. That's why it was a
marked out. So now I have a throwback.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
We can just add a three to it.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
That's true. I always feel like this is very much
a Dan buyer subject. It's almost like when your wife
or a girlfriend like are looking at you to have
a comment about a new thing on them. I'm not
the guy that recognizes these things. If you got it,
like your haircut or something, I'm so oblivious. But when
Dan makes makes me look at these things, Yeah, those
(29:41):
are some attractive unis. I'm into them. I like them.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Well, I agree.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
This is one of the things that Dan geeks out about.
Oh yeah, and he remembers them all of them by detail.
Well I like this one because there's a little red
stitch on the side instead of the black stitch.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Oh well, you're not necessarily wrong, because there's something with
the Tampa Bay Buccaneer uniforms. Then we'll get to Isaacy.
I'll have the update and he can weigh into the
Bolt uniforms as well. So the Buccaneers are fiftieth anniversary
of them coming into the National Football League, so they
are wearing their They've unveiled a throwback uniform of their
white uniforms. They usually do the orange ones creamsicle ones
(30:21):
once a year. Now they're doing a throwback white one.
What's different about this one because they had a couple
of different ones throughout their times when they wore the
creamsicle When they first came into the league, the numbers
were orange, like a bright orange. In the late eighties
early nineties, before they switched to the pewter the white
uniforms had red numbering with the orange creamsicle trim. This
(30:44):
is flipped so it's more of an orange letter which
looks better and I'll show you during the break Manzi.
And there's one other point in the re done of
Bucco Bruce and the redo of it, there are more
creases in line in his face than the wor at
the original logo in nineteen seventy six. So for somehow
(31:05):
in the reproduction of this, it's almost it almost looks
like he could be even a little bit more weathered,
because there's just the nineteen seventy six logo was so
clean and crisp when they reproduced it and have reproduced
it over previous years, it's not as crisp as the
one they unveiled in the mid nineteen seventies when they
became a team. Just telling you it's true. You can
(31:27):
look at different versions, they're different. But that's what's different
about the Bucks uniform as opposed to maybe other white
creamsicle uniforms they wore.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Okay, and the mode you missed your opportunity in fashion here.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Dan, I'm just when I love uniforms and helmets and
I love end zones.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Details, yes, those details exactly. I'm not surprised that you
dove into it like that. I think you missed an
opportunity in fashion.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
So a former WNBA star now turned basketball analyst because
she does it for the men's game and the women's game.
Candace Parker had some comments this week and speaking with
Complex Sports about where she puts Caitlin Clark in the
hierarchy of WNBA stars. This was Candace Parker talking about
where she has the fever guard at this point.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
This is where it gets tricky. Kaitlyn Clark is at
an a level. I think in time she's gonna rease
up to that S. But in order to put her
at that level, you got to have a couple more years.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
And the S is the highest level that was reserved
for three players, Asia Wilson, the Fisa Collier and Brianna Stewart.
So on the tier below WNBA superstars, do we actually
have a reasonable Caitlyn Clark take today?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Yes, I am not mad at all at what kandas
Parker said, I mean, this is only Kaitlyn Clark's second year.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
And this isn't a who moves the needle the most.
This isn't enough. Who are people tuning in to watch
the most?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
She as a former player who, by the way, successful
career by all means, is saying like we need to
see a little bit more. We actually do have three
superstars based on their level of skill and their play
and the three she mentioned. I completely understood why she
put it that way. I don't think this was a
diss at all. And like she said, she's already at
(34:06):
a level. Let's just give her some more years. And
right now, this year, Caitlin Clark's injuries, She's missed several games.
She's having a shooting slump since returning from these injuries,
the quad, the groin has been below her average in points,
not shooting the ball. Well, her sister's still there and
so you know, her impact is still there.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
But I thought this was very reasonable.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I have no problem with Kandice Parker putting her in
the tier right below S, which was the top tier.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah. S is like the A plus, right.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
I took it a superstares her superstar, right, Yeah, I'm
good with that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
But there's another layer to this because tonight we get
a bit of a rematch. The Connecticut's Sun in the
Indiana Fever are playing a game. It's a Sun home
game tonight, so in Connecticut, right sure, long long Again.
For the second straight year, the Connecticut On are moving
(35:01):
their home game with the Indiana Fever to a larger venue,
just like the Dallas Wings are or did or they did. Okay,
so it's either did or it's coming up.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
No, they did, and it was bad because she didn't
play so like they had moved it and then she
got hurt and it was.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Like, oh, this is not the plan.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's fine. They moved the game to try to accommodate
the number of fans that they thought were going to attend.
So now it's going to be played in Boston tonight
at TD Garden, the home of the Boston Celtics for
the second straight year. And I saw a shot of
the arena eighteen thousand orange shirts representing the Connecticut Sun tonight,
And first of all, I think it's great that they're
(35:39):
able to go to places just like Dallas tried to move,
and they didn't go to Providence like they went to Boston,
which is it's not far far, but it's not necessarily
close either. They could have just gone a few miles
over to Providence and ended up putting a game there,
but no, they wanted it in Boston, home of the Celtics,
to gain more interest. And I'm really intrigued to see
(35:59):
tonight if the crowd will be pro son because of
the drama between Caitlyn Clark, and so if he Cunningham
and the Fever with the with the members of the
Connecticut Son.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Marina Maybree, I think it's her name that exactly that
like checked her in that moment. Yeah, I am very
much curious to see how this game is gonna go
from the perspective of how the girls are gonna play
these ladies. Are we gonna see a little bit of
tensions running high, maybe a couple of shoves here in there.
I want to I want to know how the refs
(36:32):
are gonna handle this because it seems like it's gonna
be a heightened game, and I want to see how
many people put on that shirt.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Dan, that's gonna be the orange. Yes, that's gonna be
very telling you.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
I think that that. I don't think it'll be thunder esque,
but I think that a lot of people will wear it.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Even ones that are there to just let's say, watch
Kitlyn Clark not necessarily be a fan of either team.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Right I Yeah, I could be wrong. I think it's
gonna be a pro Sun crowd tonight. Jason Stewart disagrees
with me. He thinks it's going to be all about
Caitlyn Clark tonight.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
That seems to be my thinking. Is this that all
these arenas around the WNBA that are packed when they
move into different arenas, I want to say they went
over here to Staples.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
I just think that most of the crowd is there
to see Caitlin Clark be Kitlin Clark, and then their
small percentage are just like the followers of their own team.
So that dynamic, to me, is going to be interesting tonight.
If I'm proven wrong.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
I'm going to tell you what the best, the best
thing that could happen for the w NBA tonight, tell
us Caitlin Clark to be booed.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Wow, look at this.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Because it now becomes about the rivalry with the team,
not about Tuningham. Expect she will probably get booed. I
think that would be the best thing, because now we're
talking about teams and these rivalries and it maybe just
isn't so personal, it's about basketball and hate.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Well, well, Kaitlyn, Caitlyn Clark get booed to case'll seem
