Monday and.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the days of chill, the days
of chill. Listen, Christmas stuff's down for most people. Yeah,
I agree, I got them down this week, you know,
just because my house looks so damn empty. Anyone else
like prematurely put up Valentine's Day stuff, like a couple
of heart decorations with their kids or wife.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Not many people decorate for Valentine spot by unless you
have nosepicking kids.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah. I got two little nose pickers.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
So we got all the Valentine's Day stuff up now,
Happy valent Times, puppy. So I just want to remind
everyone the slate of games we have this week Thursday,
right after our show, and as you get home, Notre
Dame Penn State.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Let's go. Who could call that game? Notre Dame is
a one point favorite, one and a half, so that's
like a who knows.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Then you enjoy the rest of your Thursday night. Maybe
catch up on some Netflix whatever the hell you're watching.
Maybe watch that documentary about the Guy that Never Wants
to Die?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, that sucks.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Watch Tavici one and there's a new two part Jerry
Springer documentary.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I started on Netflix earlier to that.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Then then Friday, Wait when do new Dexter episodes drop Fridays? Okay,
so Friday, I'm gonna get to that. I'm gonna watch
original soin Dexter, you can.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Watch that on Friday along with Ohio State Texas. Then
watch your dexter whatever the hell you're doing right Saturday Hits.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
You got.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Multiple NFL Wildcard games. In fact, you skipped our Saturday
morning cartoons. I'm sorry to watch Muppet Babies.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
You watch Muppet Baby Smurfs, and then we watch American Gladiators.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
No, first you watch Save by the Bell.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
You skipped the best of Covino and Rich On Saturday.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
You watch Saved by the Bell, California Dreams Wrestling, and
then American Gladiators. Yes, every kids Saturday lineup. H Then
you got Chargers at Texans Wow, Steelers at Ravens Wow.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
And then you wake up Sunday you.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Got a triple header Broncos, Bills, Peckers, Eagles, Bucks, Commanders
and Monday Night, Oh goodness, Vikings and Rams.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I know I can't stand up right now. That's five
straight days. Hands.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I think you just put a tingle in everybody's football dingle.
I think I did. I think Big sixty Run has
a slow.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Roaster slowed down? Yeah, I mean, we all love football.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Is there any update on Jalen Hurts and the concussion protocol?
I keep seeing to pop up and I know you're
keeping your eye on that because that is like that
carried on longer than many thought.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Right still in concussion protocol.

Speaker 7 (05:07):
As of yesterday, they play Sunday, so today wouldn't be
a practice day for them. Nick Sirianni saying that they
have faith that Hurts will be available, but there's nothing
official for Examplesay Flowers didn't practice today. Ravens play on Saturday,
so there's they have a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday travel. You
know Steelers would travel on Friday, but so tomorrow, I
think we'll have a more clear picture on where Jalen

(05:29):
Hurts come.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I know we say this a lot rich, but it's
always a great reminder. If your next five days starting
Thursday or that packed, now's the time to really take
the decorations down. If you haven't spend some time with
the family, take your wife, your girlfriend out to dinner.
We say that all the time as a reminder, but
your next five days are stacked, it's some things to do.
It sounds like low hanging fruit advice. Go to grocery shopping,

(05:52):
get all your errands out of the work, because it
really isn't though, because you would think that's like common sense.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
You know. Not how many women I know that talk
about how their husban bird brains or their boyfriends don't
pay attention. If you plan on watching football for five
days straight and really being selfishit.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
You got today and tomorrow to do something nice.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, guess who's gonna volunteer to bring the kids to
gymnastics in practice the next couple of days?

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Rich you.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
It's called balance, balance, Daniel Son. We learned that from
mister Miagi thirty five forty years ago. If you got
to go get a haircut, you know what I gotta
do in the next two days.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
They're gonna be busy.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
You're gonna be busy over the weekend, and you gotta
rub your hands together like a fly in anticipation. Yes, football,
So yeah, on Thursday, you're you're stacked with things to watch.
So that's great.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Two college football playoff games and then of course six
wildcard games. You could argue that people love to say
divisional weekend is the best weekend of football, but with you,
with you adding the college football playoff and the six
wildcard games, now it's.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hard to argue that this is not the week Now,
you know, it's so underrated rich.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Just in life, you often say that you need dots
on your calendar, meaning like a destiny or a vacation
to look forward to. I feel like sports really just
fulfills that void until you actually get to that vacation,
because it's really the only stuff I look forward to.
You mean to tell me I have all this look
forward to that gets me excited.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
I know that's how you feel about a good fight night.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, if you know it's a big box, it's just like, yes,
that's that little, that little tiny dot on the calendar
until you get to the real nice one when you're
uh in Maui somewhere.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
So football, you got a stacked, awesome calendar. I did
see this meme going around, and it is interesting. Remember
how until the Tampa Bay Bucks. And of course it
was Tom Brady that did this, I guess. I mean
he's Tom Brady. God looks like he could play. Now

(07:47):
you see him on the beach.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I mean he's joking about it. He says his physique
is ready and his arm is ready.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I'm just look good.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I'm a straight man. I questioned myself for a second.
I'm like, well, get this guy. You felt the pulse.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Tom Brady could still play.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, but I bring up tom because he was the
guy that broke a what was practically a fifty year
streak of no home team playing in the Super Bowl.
Remember that, the whole thing of wherever the Super Bowl was,
no team ever played in their home stadium. And then
here comes Tom Brady. Super Bowls in Tampa, no Problemo,
TV twelve's got it, and he then broke that streak.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, it's kind of cross when you think about it, like,
could it have worked out any better?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
What else, Tommy? What else do you want? Do you
want to own a team?

Speaker 6 (08:31):
Tommy?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
So interestingly enough, would you say he is the recipient
of life's greatest lottery?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Or would you give that to Derek Jeter? Who's the
most blessed?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Tom Brady's up there, man, He's like top three. But
you know what, though, and I'm sure he copes with
it in his own way. He broke up with his
first wife in the middle of her pregnancy. Yeah, but
we and I'm saying that, and she spoke highly Hi,
non upset.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
But I'm sry. That wasn't easy.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
I'm not saying he's perfectly saying he won life's lottery,
went through a divorce, the very public one, and now
his ex is pregnant.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
So this is the old life.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Ain't all sunshine of rainbows for Tommy boy, but it's
pretty sweet, that's true.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
But I mean, as a guy who's been through a divorce,
that's just part of so many people's lives unfortunate.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
That is true.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Right now, I bring up Tom and that because Dan Bayer,
who's a historian of Super Bowls like I am, that
was something else when Tom Brady finally broke that streak
and Bucks played at home, because that was something we
were like, is.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
That ever gonna happen? And we would look at the
calendar and be like, ooh, could the Saints make it?
When it's in New Orleans?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
When the Niners finally hosted one, it was like, ooh,
could they go play in the Bay Area?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Dan Bayer, Sorry, that's okay.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
The Vikings a few years prior made it to the
NFC Championship Game, and we thought maybe that would be
the opportunity. Then the Philadelphia Eagles ended up demolishing them.
But yeah, and he had it back to back heres
with the Rams.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, here's something that I guess we're so confident, and
I get the first part. The Giants and the Jets
share a stadium. We know met Life or is that
Aaron Rodgers calls it Jet Life. No one ever is concerned.
Could there be a conflict of playoff games because the

(10:20):
Jets and the Giants being in the postseason?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
What's the odds, dude? Not great.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Look at the Los Angeles football scene. The Rams and
the Chargers both playoff teams. Now they changed and manipulate
the playoff schedule. In fact, I always look forward to
I'm sure like many of you, I'm sure Dan to
I can't wait for that last Sunday night game of
the year because you know, either at halftime or during

(10:49):
the first time out, Mike Tariko is gonna come back
and he's like, I got the schedule, and you're like, oh,
you pause the screen and say, what are the games
going to be? There's only one time where there could
be a stadium conflict, and that is Championship Sunday, which
this year is January twenty sixth, And the conflict would

(11:10):
be if the Rams and the Chargers were both to
host home games and were two of the final four teams,
but the two teams with home field advantage. Unlikely yet possibly.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, there would only be fifteen minutes in between the
two games.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
And then you got to ask yourself, does the NFL
change the format of how they've always done the late
game in the night game on that Sunday where they've
always been the two back to back games at the
little fifteen to twenty minute buffer in between.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
So there's no conflict.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
There is a way that the Chargers and the Rams
could host the championship games. Now, let's be honest here.
That would require a hell of a lot of primo
teams to be eliminated.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
So it's unlikely. But is that one of those silly
things you root for just to be like what was he?
See how it pans out, see how it works out?

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I mean, it's interesting, right, and you know, thinking ahead
Trum mcveahin and Jim Hartbar are both good coaches. It's
not I think it's more likely that there'd be a
SOFI conflict than a met life conflict.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
Absolutely, And to your point, it would be tricky to
give a team less rest to put it on Saturday night.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
And then if you were to do it on Monday.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
I don't know if that's necessarily ideal, but that would
be maybe the better option if you do it. Could
you do a one eastern kickoff and then an eight
fifteen eastern kickoff?

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think you.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Would have to do almost the equivalent of an early
game and Sunday night football.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
You'd have to and you'd have to. Why wouldn't they
be able to do that? Is there any reason that
they wouldn't be able to do that?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Because you have to get fifty plus one thousand people
in and out of a stadium.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
No, I understand, So you got to spread it out
as far as possible.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
You need to think of the change the actual field
art too.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh yeah, that's that's yeah, that's what I was thinking.
What else am I forgetting that? You'd have to change
the field? You have to. You have to have enough
time for that. Forget about clean up and traffic and
everything else. You gotta do that. So that would be interesting.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Now you gotta ask yourself the only way this could happen?
Because I got I got the playoff bracket in front
of the front way.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Just do you want to do? You want to play?
You want to play like silly, little old imagining games.
Let's do it just a hell.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
First and first mostly, the Broncos would have to beat
the Bills because without that, it's over.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Because the only the only way that okay, the get go.
It's unlike what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
The only way the Chargers could actually host the AFC
Championship Game is if the other team in the AFC
Championship Game is the seventh seed, because they're the sixth seed.
So but the Broncos, you gotta look at it that way.
I would if the Broncos beat the Bills and then
the Broncos went on to beat the Ravens. Again, this
is like if the Broncos they have to go on

(13:56):
some if bow Nicks goes out a tear and then,
by the way, we also say, on top of that,
the Chargers, oh no, I'm sorry, the Chargers would then
have to beat the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
See it's Chargers, Ezekiel Elliott doesn't have to go on
a tear.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Rich The Broncos do have one of the better defenses.
They lead the league in sacks. Yeah, Rich, Rich said
they would have to have a day though like improbable
but not impossible.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
The Rams, however, even though they don't appear because you're thinking,
of all the teams are better records.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
The Rams are the three seed.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's not as crazy the Rams could host the I'm
sorry the Rams.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Have the four seed to three seed, four seed four.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
They there's a way where Minnesota, because they're a really
good five seed, could unify themselves on the receiving end
of playing a game they shouldn't. They should have at home,
but they don't. But it's just one of those things
where it'll never happen until it happened, until it does,
and maybe in our lifetime, but maybe not. But it's

(14:58):
those rare circumstances where two teams share a stadium and
there is a circumstance which it could happen, but it won't,
but it.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Could, it could, It will one day.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
I saw some fans arguing on social media yesterday saying, well,
so far would have to do like a generic La
logo in the middle of the field in the end zones.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
You had to get some quick drying paint out there.
Danny that it will happen.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Turf out based on the story of Tom Brady and
the Buccaneers playing at home. Super Bowls never gonna happen.
It happened, and it worked out to their advantage. Dude,
in my lifetime, I never thought i'd see a Subway
series in the World Series.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
It happened, almost happened this year, it almost happened again.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
The chances of this happening are probably slim now, but
will happen one.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Day, Danny, you think they'll be an Angels Dodgers world series?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Never in your life?

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, what do they call that? Well, it's not even
a rivalry series.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Nah, right, the Angels. You think that?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
To the playoffs, I think that until, as Rich said,
until it happens.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, I would like to see Mike Trout there obviously.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, like a Cubby's White Sox. Yeah, you think these things,
but yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Not let it not be anytime soon, but like eventually,
Well along the lines.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Of all the great football we're talking about. I did
want to mention that I saw this on TMZ because
it's so gossipy. Did you see that they revealed new
food in the NFL for the wildcard weekend.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's like some wild food, wild food for wild Card weekend.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, touchdown toast Okay, I saw the pictures of this
touchdown toast Travis Kelcey supporters in Kansas City may want
to get their hands on a massive piece of French
toast with berry sauce and vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, oh I get it. Yeah, not bad. It's a
big ass piece of French past It's like a loaf
of bread.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I like them. They're going for it something different for
the playoffs. I like it.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
How about the Philadelphia Pretzel John where it's a big
pretzel shame? What's a pretzel john? John's like one of
those like Philly terms, right, I like that, But it's
a pretzel in the shape.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Who uses that term? I've never heard that? Remember maybe? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Okay, shape of the eagle logo with all types of dippens.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
All right, looks cool?

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Looks cool?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Right?

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yeah, it sounds like us the name of a Starbucks
drink that Covino would refuse to her.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, I'd be like, I'll just get the pretzel thing. Yeah,
you know the Penncel thing.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Do you mean the John? Yeah, just give me a
pretzel thing. What about this bad boy?

Speaker 4 (17:37):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Houston Texans? Okay? For their wild card game.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
And by the way, did you also see that meme
that every single playoff game the Texans have ever played
is a Saturday at four point thirty. Yeah, every single
game the Houston Texans are unveiling the bigger in Texas Tomali.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's a monsters Tomali.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Looks good with some really sweet chili and salsa dimits

Big Sexy on the Ones and twos Yo. Hey, before
we get to mahomes showtime.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Trivia, I have a question for you, being that you're
a Yankees fan and I'm a Mets fan, Jan Soda.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
You know how they do the fan graft project projections
every year? Yeah, off the top of your head, round
about how many dogs did Soto hit last year at
a Yankee Stadium? How many home runs did wan so
forty one, forty one They're projected saying Juan Soto as
a Met next year, that's two seventy six, thirty three

(20:30):
home runs, one hundred rbi.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I expect a little more first, I mean, not as
short of a porch, not as hit or friendly as
Yankee Stadium paid for him.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Again, and he.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Gained like thirty five pounds and that was a fat one.
So according to the fake memes, that's worth seventy million.
By the way, you know there was a whole side
story unless I misinterpreted it. Remember how there was all
those pictures of Juan Soda looking like he gained weight
when he put the Mets jersey on.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
It wasn't photoshopped.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
No, well, he did a little chubbier. But Bleacher Report
then put out like one where someone photoshopped even more.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, yeah, look it up unless I like now, you
don't know which one's real. Exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's how I totally got it wrong with someone behind
the scenes, like released another one that wasn't real With
respect to want Soto Shakesheck is in center field at
City Field, So I mean, I mean.

Speaker 9 (21:20):
I have the getty image of him, which means it's
the actual it's not looking good.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, that means less home runs. Do you ever see
Patrick Mahomes with his shirt off? Yeah, you don't mean
like more hot thoughts.

Speaker 5 (21:30):

bit of ketchup on the side.

It's true, That's how I feel.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know what, Patrick, I can't even imagine what on
a Thanksgiving table would require ketchup Turkey.

Speaker 4 (26:06):

Here, and uh and thank you, thank you Philip for
playing there in Utah.

Speaker 7 (27:59):
I see I Patrick, have a good one. While Patrick
leaves and Cavino comes in. I just wish a caller
would thank me for picking them like they've already won.
Like if you make it on air, already won. I
chose you, so you've won a winner in life. I
would love somebody to be like, thanks Dan, thanks for
picking Ogden, Utah. You know, thanks for picking Wichitah, Kansas.

(28:23):
Thanks for picking Erie Pennsylvania over Puerto Rico and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I will say this though, I was listening to the
lobby and I liked Phil style.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
At least he went for it.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Just sometimes you pick somebody, Dan, or we picked somebody
and they don't even just go for the guests. They're
just sitting around waiting. Let us guess, we gotta go
for it. So great job, even though you lost. The
great Dan Byer wins again.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well, speaking of Dan Bayer, let's get an update what's
up debate?

Speaker 7 (28:50):
The Raiders didn't win much and that's why Antonio Pears
is out of a job four and thirteen done after
one full time season as the Raiders head coach. Tom
te Lasco will stay on as general manager. Just the
opposite scenario in Nashville, the Titans are keeping head coach
Brian Callahan after one season, but they're firing general manager

(29:10):
Ran Carthon after two seasons on the job.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
Titans are three and fourteen or went three and fourteen.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
They have the first overall pick in the draft coming
up in April. Lions head coach Dan Campbell says running
back David Montgomery should be available for their NFC Divisional
playoff game coming up in two weeks he returns from
a knee injury. Do you guys remember had an MCL
injury that could have required surgery that decided to do
rehab instead, hoping for a quicker return for Montgomery, And

(29:37):
that looks like it's going to happen for the Lions.
Running Back Terry and Arnold, their corner who was injured
in Week eighteen, is day to day with a foot injury.
Ravens wide receiver is a Flowers misspractice today because of
his knee issue, and the Vikings signed Daniel Jones to
their active roster, so he'll back up Sam Darnold Monday
night in LA against the Rams in their wild card
matchup boys.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
He stayed.

Speaker 7 (29:58):
Running Back Ashton Genty will enter the twenti twenty five
NFL Draft. According to ESPN, the Miami head have been
underwhelmed with offers for Jimmy Butler, with the Phoenix Suns
being the only team that would give Butler what he
wants and that's a long term extension. Multiple reports say
that Butler is totally heated that he does not want
to be traded to Memphis or Milwaukee, along with a
few other teams. U Gun women's basketball star page Beckers

(30:18):
is going to miss at least a week with a
knee spring and.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Jumping back to football.

Speaker 7 (30:22):
One of the stories after Sunday was Tyreek Hill to
the Miami Dolphins, saying that he wanted out of Miami. Well,
Tyreek Hill has spoken with Dolphins GM Chris Greer, who
says that at no point did Hill request to trade,
and Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins head coach, had this to
say about the scenario.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I wouldn't say there's anything necessarily to fix, as much
as we had to clear the air in a rough
and tumultuous situation.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
Clearing the air in Miami. Mike Vrabel will interview with
the Patriots on Thursday. Guys, back to you.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Thanks Dan Byer, hey A couple of NBA notes. Do
you see Gilbert Arenas for his birthday? He's just get
lap dances, throwing money at a girl in front.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Of his fiance partner.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
And I also saw are you up on this Dwight
Howard Shaquille O'Neil beef, Yes.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, a lot of people are saying that it's been
going on there for years, the years, instigated by Shaquille
O'Neil always because he was just always taking jabs at
Dwight Howard. And anytime he was brought up, you know,
two big guys, they have egos. Anytime he was brought
up like hey, we think it Dwight Howard, Shaq immediately
would shut him down, diss him. He's a wannabe Shaq

(31:28):
and Shaq has the rings. And we'd always come down
on Dwight Howard as not being in that sort of company.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
The latest, Howard, did you see you? You've always been.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Jealous, Yeah, jealous of Kobe Penny dwayde you jealous of
Charles too, go move around, big lazy, insecure ass.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
And did you hear a shack shud? I'll never say
your name again.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
You're dead to me.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
So he's like you're dead to me now. I don't
want to hear any more about it.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Since he got called out as being the insecure, jealous guy.
Shaq is saying he's never talking about Dwhite Howard again.
But it really escalated. People are like, what did they
want to fight?

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Like?

Speaker 2 (32:05):
I was just gonna say, under car for the next
Jake Paul fight, I would help, man, I would love that, Shaq.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Dwye how Jack fought Sugar Shane Moseley.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (32:13):
I do remember that that was a much younger Shack.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Younger Shack did fight Sugar Shane Mosley back in the day.
But it came up in a podcast and Dwight Howard
really opened in on it because he was like, look,
that's all him, man, I never had beef with Shack Man.
Two big guys, so as likable as Shaq is, he
seems to be the guy that instigated it. And there
was a lot of a lot of poking of the bear,

(32:36):
a lot of back and forth, a lot of hey
for two jokesters, neither one of them could take a joke. Hey,
dannyj you you're you're, you know, maybe the biggest Laker
fan I'm friends with do Laker fans for the most
part have love for Dwight Howard or obviously it said
they're all team shack, right.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
I mean the fact that he came back for a
second run. That was nice because it buried the hatchet
a little bit because the way he originally left it
left a bad taste in a fans mouse At first,
I figured, remember the remember the the rolling billboard ownership
had going at the time, kind of begging for Howard
to come back, and he admits now that he made

(33:11):
a mistake leaving the Lakers that first time.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeahal for what could have been Thank you, Danny g
We got more Coveno on retch. And speaking of a
basketball there's a there's a like a hypothetical on social
media that I want to throw at you guys real quick.
We talked a lot of football today, but there's a
basketball hypothetical that I'm so curious what Steve Covino would say.
We'll get to your feedback next right here, Fox Sports Radio,

The way tire buying should be.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
I'm a dumb hypothetical for you. Actually, Rich has a
dumb hypothetical for you. What's the other one? No, the
basketball shot no Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio
the numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine m Fox trying
to call us Manyana as we get excited for all
the football that we have starting Thursday against Danny G's

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Our bonus podcast over promises there Covino and Rich live
from the Tirak dot com studio. Quick reminder that tomorrow
we do some mid week major every Wednesday, and it's

(35:32):
hanging out with us. Now before we go, we had
a lot of fun today, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Danny G.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
How do you feel about Antonio Pierce? By the way,
you knew that was coming.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
We just yesterday on the show we were talking about
Ben Johnson hopefully at least interviewing with Tom Brady, to
LESCo and Mark Davis. So we knew it was coming.
But the circumstance is stunk because all the injuries right
from the start of the season and then Minshew not
working out. The other day, Ap admitted that he should

(36:05):
have went with Aida and O'Connell to start the season,
and then he said he should have went with his
gut more. As far as some decisions he made managing
games last season, he said he went with his gut
a lot more when he you know, finished that season strong.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
They were five and four last year, in four and
thirteen this year, so nine and seventeen total.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Yeah, and he did great in the division to end
the season last year, and this year he was winless
in the division.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
And the side question is, you know, where does a
guy like that go after a head coaching Dave so
he becomes.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
A coordinator like the DC DC somewhere in the next
two three.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Years maybe, so regroup, wish him the best. I think
he's a good dude. I think he's a good coach.
Antonio Pears, but it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Out in with the Raiders.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
But you know, dude, it's much like marriages, right like
unless it's unless the woman becomes your wife. Every other
relationship had an expiration date, and a lot of marriages
have expiration dates. So so I mean, Antonio Brown, it
just didn't work out, Like you, he got the job unexpectedly,
performed well enough, whether like let's give this guy a shot.

(37:09):
He didn't have the personnel injuries.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
It just sucks.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
He'll he'll keep coaching. It just it didn't work out, Like, hey,
you know, we want to see other coaches. Tom Brady's like, yo,
I've had.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Enough, and we end our show live from the tire
rack dot Com studio with a stupid hypothetical. If you
had one shot, did not miss your chance to blow
There is.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
A hypothetical floating around social media and it has to
do with basketball. Says you get one shot, you're given
the basketball school yard situation. Here's a basketball Danny Ryan
spot Cavino, everyone listening. If you make a layup, you

(37:55):
get fifty grand. Free throw will get you one hundred grand.
Top of the key three pointer five hundred k A
wing three pointer seven fifty a corner.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Three a million dollars.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
I know it's gonna depends on like where you are financially, Like, yo,
I could use the money, But do you just say it,
I'm taking the easiest fifty thousand dollars you're ever getting.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Your Wow, I look at it totally different.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Do you say, like, hey, I have a shot to
make a million dollars on one corner three?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
It's the house money. You're going for a shot, And
why not go for the biggest shot and go for
that unless you're a total mutant and you know you
have no shot at all, like big.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Big Mike, you know who runs its place? Who He said, uh,
you know, my knees and back, I can. I mean,
it would be foolish for me to do anything other
than the layup. So he's like, I would take the
easiest fifty.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Grande to do an underhand free throw.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
It's it's like when you're at the game, though, right,
and they picked one dude to shoot the ball. I
always the guy with the work, Like I said, it's
always the guy with the worst shot.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
I get out of.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Here, But they always pull somebody like me.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
How in the world this guy's the worst shoot I've
ever seen in my life.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
There's some embarrassing clips out there where you're like, did
this person never pick up a basketball in their entire life?

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I do understand with the pressure and the perception, the
depth perception of that shot, it's going to be different
in the moment the pressure.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
You see a lot of really uncoordinated people. That's what
I was going to say. You see toddlers with better
eye hand.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, if you're one of those people, then yeah, the
answer is simple. You go for the fifty thousand dollars.
Layout you think if you're not I should actually shoot?
Why not go for the million dollars? I think as
simple as that. Yeah, you really you think you have
to like put more effort. You know, you have to
like launch it. So you're like doing it like weird.
You're like throwing it with two hands, like tipping it.
It's weird, it's fun.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
You're not a basketball player, so hold on, let me
before I pose the question again. I've done this in college.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
You're not doing like a sidehand.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
I have.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
I have what you would arguably say, I have good
basketball mechanics. I know how to make it. I know
how to like nicely shoot a jump shot, You're gonna
get it in the vicinity of the rim like a
normal human. What I'm saying is I got chosen from
the crowd when I was in college up in the
Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh wow, their retire number when you were there, I
it's called the richest dome. Now I just domeig big
stupid faces on it.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
So I was given one hundred dollars per three pointer.
I made, right, okay, one hundred bucks. One hundred bucks
per three pointer, and I had like thirty seconds I
walked away. I think like three or four hundred bucks.
But let me tell you, the first few shots, you
were way off right.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Can't lie. I wouldn't lie to you guys here on
Fox Sports readio.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
My first two shots were air balls because I have
never shot on a glass rim with twenty thousand people
in arena behind the glass.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
You shot a school yard at Jim.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Have you ever shot on a glass backboard with fans
behind it?

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Those basketball mechanics meant nothing.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
And then you get in a rhythm and you're like,
all right, now, I got it. But there's also crowds
cheering and booing. Now if you are on a schoolyard
by yourself. What if I told you was at halftime
at a Lakers game? Does that change you answer?

Speaker 2 (41:09):
No, I'm going for that million dollars shots. Too much
pressure and we say hypothetical, But hey, mister beast, he'll
make this happen.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Have you watched his game showed off? I haven't, but
these are the type of realities he creates.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Spot You're a guy that like you could make a layup,
but I would doubt that you'd make a corner three.

Speaker 9 (41:24):
So you just wasted that shot? Are you saying fifty grand?
I think much like you. If I took a few shots,
I think my body would find it, kind of find
a rhythm.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
You get one shot to one shot, so you say.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I thought like you said, yeah, one shot, No, I'd
be screwed.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
You just say, well, what am I doing? Maybe? Free throw?
How do heck? Could you say?

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Take the easy layup when you know that's possible to
miss and that one hundred thousand.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
We'll see you guys tomorrow, maybe we'll continue until then.
Even there you see you in the promise missing a layup.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Thank you, guys,
