King's birthday. Yes, you ain't never met doctor Martin Luther
had a dream, bro, he had a dream. How old
do you think he was when he got assassinated? I

(01:28):
know the answer, It's easy when you know the answer
when you looked it up. But I was, I was
so torn, Like how old was he?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Do?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
You guys know? What's it? Late thirties, early forties? Dan
sam Any guesses when was Doctor's King. I think he's
like only like forty three. I was going to say
thirty six, thirty nine? Dang, oh good. Yeah, it's to
think that he could still be with us had he
not be assassinate. He would have been in his nineties.
He was born in the twenties. But yeah, crazy. I
always think back to those terrible clips and I remember

(01:57):
Jesse Jackson, like a young Jesse Jackson was there. So
I always think, well, if he was there, Martin Luther
King would probably still be alive. But I think Jesse
Jackson was younger again. Your next success can begin sooner

(02:22):
is Covino and Rich. Everything at Covino and Rich, and
we're gonna get to more of your feedback, wrapping up
things that make you go home. Can I just say this,
With all the Sean McDermott got fired and Halflee got hired,
and all the upsets and all the crazy moments, one
of the coolest plays of the weekend, like gets lost

(02:43):
in the under the radar, Like you're talking about the
Kayleb Williams play that one handed booty snack, and I'm
not talking about the one that happened in your bedroom
of the week. I'm an expert at one handed booty grabs.
Is that one handed booty grab in the end zone?
What a catch, dude. It was one of the best
catches and no one's talking about it. So it makes
you go hmm, like, man, they're capable of some really
big plays moving forward. So that was a really cool play.

(03:06):
That I think God forgotten in the mix because there's
so many big moments. You know, you want to hate
on the Patriots because they've been there, done that, It
just seems it seems unfair. Actually texted our buddy Mark,
who's a big Patriots fan, Eddie, I was like, do
you think you deserve another one so soon?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Like?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know if Patriot fans deserve this so quickly?
But Drake May and his wife are they not adorable?
Did you see her? Like? iHeart Drake May's shirt, like
she does little baking recipes and little videos like it's
hard to really hate Vray Bowl. I don't know, they
just seem I wish they were hateable. They're a likable team, Yeah,
you know. And I found adorable Fernando Mendoza talking about

(03:46):
his mom and how like she means the world to him,
Like how do you root against this guy tonight? But
a few other things if you went to Miami arecasts fan?
That's about it a few other things that made me go, hm,
we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Cooper Cump
won Super Bowl MVP with the Rams, now faces them
in the NFC Championship game. That's kind of cool makes

(04:08):
me go, Hmmm, more to play for in this green
Day story. I feel like it's going under the radar
a little bit. They're opening up the super Bowl super
Bowl sixty with Green Day, and I think there's some
backhanded disc toward the President because they're outwardly spoken at
their disdain of President Trump. But honestly, I think it

(04:28):
makes them look weak because I think they're bigger than
opening ceremony. I get it's the super Bowl, but I
think Green Day could do a halftime show. Are they
incorporating like a new opening ceremony? This is like a
new thing. I mean we've seen NFL sponsored events and
other companies, but is it green Day just played this
weekend here in Los Angeles or at Englewood at a
big Eyheart event, big iHeart event. They're great, dude, They're legends,

(04:50):
and I think it's beneath them to open up anything.
I think they're a halftime act. Honestly, that's how big
they were in the ninetie Well, if the NFL is
just adding meaning like hey, before the game, before all this, hey,
we'll treat you to a couple of Green Day songs,
I don't know who would oppose that at all. Don't
want to be an American idiot. You know, they're playing

(05:10):
that one and they're giving a big few to somebody.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
You know what's interesting And you guys would know this
because you've been to a Super Bowl. I've been fortunate
to be at a bunch as well. The countdown clock
that they have in the stadium, it's interesting because I
think it starts at ninety minutes, so it tells you
in ninety minutes to kickoff, and you see players, you
see fans coming in and the pregame stuff like with

(05:35):
thirty minutes still left on the clock, it's like players
off the field because there's so much to get done.
And to answer your question, it sounds like they're going
to perform and they're gonna do kind of something that
did the last time. I think with some you know,
whether it be Hall of Famers or Super Bowl MVPs,
they'll have some sort of performance of bringing out those

(05:55):
players or former players I think during green Day's performance.
So that's kind of what we have to expect before,
you know, the national anthem and and other stuff that
I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Think anyone would argue more theatrics and possible with green Day. Hey,
I'm not hating. I'm just stating I think it's cool
to see Green Day. I'm I'm a huge fan. I
just think that they're more of a halftime act and
sold themselves short of the opportunity. See I disagree. I'm
reading the feedback. Matt nineteen ninety says no one gives
an ass about Green Day in twenty twenty six. I
think green Day's a class They got longevity. They just

(06:28):
performed this weekend with twenty one pilots and a bunch
of other bands out here in LA. They're class too.
It up based on you know, time is passing. They
are a classic rier now, but they're still may They're
one of the only bands that go back that far
that are still able to make a hit.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Here's just one quick thing I want to read to you.
Because this is the NFL. They released a statement. Senior
Director of Event and Game Presentation Tim Tubodeaux said, quote
celebrating sixty years of Super Bowl history with Green Day
as a hometown band while honoring the NFL legends who've
helped the on This sport is an incredibly powerful way

(07:03):
to kick off Super Bowl sixty. As we work alongside
NBC Sports for this opening ceremony. We look forward to
creating a collective celebration for fans in the stadium and
around the world, So in the stadium opening ceremony, but
maybe most notably, haven't we all said, like pick a
local flavor for the halftime show right, Well, now they're

(07:23):
doing it with an opening so maybe that's something we
see moving forward. Good where local flavor, depending if it's
going to be la next year or Atlanta the year
after that having a role in an opening ceremony as
opposed to a halftime celebration.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Someone would oppose an annual like, hey, not only do
you have a halftime show, there's gonna be a cool
man that does some opening number. And you said celebrating
sixty years would it be too predictable? And I rolly
if I said they're going to roll out Time of
your Life by Green Day, Sure like a montage of
sixty years of the NFL, because what else goes with

(07:58):
a paintre so many upbeat songs though, But you're right,
maybe they come as far as montage. Maybe they come
out play American Idiot or play brainstew there's gonna be
a big few to Trump, I'm sure, but they could
play like an old rocking hit and then slow it
down to what's their most rocking hit. It's gotta be

(08:18):
even though it's so commercially played out Brainstew like brain
Stew an American idiot, and then go into timeier life
with an NFL montage. I don't who would hate that
better than nothing? Right? We didn't point out CJ. Stroud
and how painful it was to watch. It really was
like I felt bad for the kid. I even said
to my girlfriend, and we have to realize these are

(08:38):
just kids. When you see Josh Allen crying up there
and his teammates crying thinking that he thinks they he
let him down, You're like, they're just young men doing
their best and there's so much pressure on them. But
I think we really saw the pressure get to c J. Stroud.
I think the moment was just too big for what
he was capable of, and that's just hard to watch,
to the point where they were gonna put a backup

(09:00):
and they were gonna put in What's mills? Right, Like
that's really sad, dude, like that he played that bad
in this big of a moment.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Well, there were some hot takes last weekend after CJ's
performance where people were like, hey, Davis Mills, he played
great during the season. I would start him Peple like,
you're crazy. They might Shroud's team, but he might have
been able to generate a little more offense.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Stroud had seven turnovers and two playoff games. Stroud's the
first player with five plus interceptions and five plus fumbles
in a postseason. He had a really bad game. And
you know when it all started for CJ. Stroud?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, when when he declined to come to the stage
at Super Bowl Week to be on the Covino and
Rich Show.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
It's the CNR E fact. You're right, you could call
it carcause.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
That was right after his brilliant rookie season and it's
been downhill since then.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Don't do anything wrong to us. Do you remember Kaepernick?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, he dissed me and then there was the end
for him. Hey, Rich, can I give you one last
non sports related thing that made me go for the
weekend and then we'll wrap it up with phone calls
and thoughts? Please? I keep getting links now from buddies
pushing their kids girls Scout cookies, and I'm all for contributing.
I'm all for it, not complaining, just explaining. But there's

(10:17):
three things. There's a new cookie that's involved. I'm like,
what the hell is that? Oh? The explore Wars. Yeah, yeah,
you know what they call it? What they call it
because you know the usual suspects, you know, all the
regular cookies. You're like, what's this one? They call it
Rocky Road ice cream in a cookie? All right, So
that's number one. Number two. I'm like, wait a second,
isn't this too early? Is it? Like I thought they're seasonal?

(10:39):
Are there two? Are they catching it two times a
year now? Because why am I getting all these requests
right now? That's the little early But I time not
only this, get this. You know it's a four box minimum.
Like I'm thinking to myself, yeah, I'll contribute. I really
don't want to eat all these cookies. You have to
buy four boxes and get this if you go to

(10:59):
the super if you got the price, if you go
to the supermar six bucks the box. Now, if you
go to the supermarket and you see some kids outside
with their moms a little table, you don't have to
buy four maybe if you order them online. Yeah, you
can only buy four at a time. That's the minimum
at six bucks. It used to be what five before
that was like two bucks. Well, everyone in the studio
prepared to fatten up because my wife actually hit me

(11:19):
up earlier saying like, oh, I had to order from
this person and this one's daughter and this one's daughter
and this one's daughter, and oh you know you're my daughter. Emmy,
her friend on the softball team is selling cookies. So
I think my wife put in. Just when you thought
Samoa's were the best, explore wars come out of it nowhere. Honestly,
my family ordered at least twenty bucks. Is deep, So

(11:41):
you guys are going to reap the benefits and get
chove you off of the cookies I'm bringing in here.
It's a lot of boxes and girl scouts, so anyway,
they're back. It's just there was like, whoa wait a second.
They're really good though, Yeah, they're really good. What's your favorite?
What's your favorite? If you had by far? Yeah, the best?
You can tell. This new one came out. You know,
it's chocolate mintlins. I was gonna say Samoa's Grasshoppers, Samoa's

(12:03):
are the best. But but everyone gets all excited about
the new one, like Stu gottshalt it. No, I'm just
kidd he's the new girls. He's the new girls. Cut
Cookar's real excited about it. Oh yeah, cook, Yeah, God
cares about the Samoa's Cavino and Rich they were kind
of good. We're all excited about the new ones.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
The stew gotst Did I ever tell you guys my
story about Samoa's.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
No, but I love to hear it.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I found out I was allergic to coconut for how
many samoas I ate once was swollen up so much
because I downed, like I love those things because.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Once you once you open the package, like, well, I
figure I have to eat them all.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean and there's there's it's they're not full, but
it's not empty, you know, it's not like so I'm
like yeah, So I downed them all of a sudden.
The next morning, I could not swallow. My throat was
just so.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
We almost lost Dan Bayer yea. By the way, that's
what foils is that what they're called trifoils. That's why
I brought those today because I have so many coming in.
I brought some red ones. Yeah, the short bread ones.
I brought in today here at the studio. I think
the league liters might be Samoa's, but I was Sam.
I was Sam thin mints. Everybody else I think, Yeah,

(13:18):
put the thin mints in the freezer and I eat grasshoppers.
Who calls them grasshoppers?

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, when I was growing up, that style of cookie
was called a grasshopper. I don't know where it came from.
But it's like the mint and chocolate.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, there's two distribution companies for the cookies, so there
are different names, so people know that. Is that a
Is that a fun fact you've learned just now? So
you know, Keebler called them grasshoppers is mint and fudge.
It was like their name. So it's like Kleenex for tissue.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
So what like He's like saying, Oh, I eat grasshoppers,
but you're you're not eating a bug, You're eating the
cookie by Keebler.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I've only heard people say thin mints until I was Sam.
Look it up. So fin mints, samoas, we know the favorites,
but this fot you know the answer to this, like
is it mayn called different?

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Like based on where you are in the country. It's
best foods. The Rockies are the division line. So it's
like back East, it's Hellman's here, it's best foods.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Best foods, may so good. You have the same thing
with Girls Scout, do you realizing on where you are,
there's different names from For instance, if you look at
a thin mint I want you to picture a thin
mint cookie right now. Some of you are picturing a
solid chocolate circle. Some of you are picturing a chocolate
with a bunch of little like dots on it, right,
little dimples, little dimples, essentially different. There's two different companies

(14:32):
selling Girl Scout, two different bakeries, I guess you would say,
and they have slightly different names. Some people call them
actually different names depending on where you live. Yeah, so
it's that time. You're all gonna get fat everywhere. All
the work you've done in January, going back to the
gym and eating healthy down the drain thanks to the
little kids selling cookies anything else, stand down? Dan Byer
said it in his update. I wrote it down as

(14:53):
something that made me go hmm. Lebron's streak ended twenty
one year run. Nothing to be ashamed of, but pretty interesting.
It makes me go. Starting from five to twenty five,
he's been a starting All Star all those years up
until right now.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
And in the All Star this year because the game
is a different format, these starters aren't going to be
going against East West. But I think you needed that
for contracts. Guys had bonuses in there in their deals,
so you still had to name like a starting lineup.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
But it's going to be a USA versus the World format.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Not everybody's going to be on the same team, so
it's a little funky that way by calling them starters,
but by name and by title. They had to announce
starting lineups for the All Star Games, and Lebron did
not make the cut this year.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Crazy, Yeah, he should be really embarrassed. I'm kidding. You're like, wow,
man rearly like the best for twenty one years loser
by the way I saw I found the chart. I
know you're so intrigued by this because they all look
slightly different. They're called Finman's everywhere. Both factories called them
thin Min's. But when we say samos, you might be like,
Cavino Rich, do you need caramel delights right? Because caramel

(16:01):
delight yeah uh. And then there's tag alongs and you
might be like, do you mean peanut butter patties and
the other one dose or either they could be called
peanut butter sandwiches and the trefoils, the trifoils, whatever you said.
I brought those short bread. The other company simply calls
them short bread cookies. See so yeah, depending on where

(16:21):
you live. But it's that time of year and make
their little dreams come true. And I always I always
supporting the Girl Scouts.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
There's also a new short bread with some toffee sprinklings.
If you guys had those. But it's only like you
don't get like two rolls. You don't even get one
row of cookies.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Shrink Flation. Yeah, that's exactly what at this spot. You
know the b It is shrinkflation. We still have Bellinger
to talk about. You will have games to play. You
avoid the girl Scouts. That's the supermarket. Hell no, I
always give out no hold on. I avoid buying them,
but I do make donations. I know you think you're
the only guy that does nice things. But if I

(16:59):
see little it's outside and they're girl Scouts and they're
not working for someone else trying to sell me giant
bars of candy, I will always donate. I don't want
the candy. I don't want the cookies I donate. That's
actually one of the kinder things I've learned about Steve Comino. Well,
because I know you assume otherwise, because you think you're
the only great guy there ever was. I just assume

(17:19):
that you didn't do those type of things. A lot
of times I say, I don't have cash, but I'll
come back and hook them up. Like you know when
you're at a strip club and the stripper is like,
would you like a dance, and you'd do the whole like, oh,
I just got here, come back later.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Yeah, I don't have cash. Doesn't work anymore because they
bust out the car.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah that's right. Yeah, so I rich. They still say
that for Hobos.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
There's been a couple of times I just don't want
cookies in the house because we will eat them all instantly.
So I put the cell phone up to my ear
and I pretend like I'm on.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
An important call with Scotch kids. Yeah, but I I
know you like some cookies about a very important I'm like, sorry,
I'm on a call.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
Actually I love so, but I could the way only
want them only rich Davi is gonna make a girl
scout and stripper analogy.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I know, I mean, you know you do you
avoid them in a similar fashion. Yeah, to come back
to see you later, I jump. I don't. I don't
have cash, but you know what you do and we'll
end it on this note. As your friends, I told
you yougin to hit you up on behalf of their kids, which,
by the way, takes away from the door to door
thing I told you that kids used to do. But whatever,
I'm willing to contribute. Bring them into your colleagues, buy them,

(18:27):
you don't, don't stuff your fat face with them. Bring
them into work, let everyone else enjoy them, and bring
them to the you know, your big super Bowl party,
be the field, good good time guy that brings cookies
over someone else's house. And speaking of what you you're
the one that brought up stripper spot. Have you ever
thought it would be a good idea for women that
dance at a club to have a QR coat on

(18:48):
their buttcheek? It's not a bad idea. I might want
to do that. Do you want another dance? Hold on,
and everyone else gets to tell you why can't I click? Seriously?
Then if the stripper had her Venmo on the screen,
right now, what's going on instead of a butterfly above
their crack. I'm just saying you don't think there's a

(19:09):
good marketing move there. If you're a anyway move along,
not a bad idea, Rich, we should get behind it,
all right. This is like blade Runner Dystopio re entering here.
If a stripper had a temporary tattoo like you know
your kids have a little temporary tattoos like good on,
they'll like use it for tracking.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
You can put a QR coast. I hate to interrupt this. Well,
look Rodney in the Sacramento area, Rodney.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Rodney wants to talk about the Patriots and Raiders. You've
Broughtney a chance?

Speaker 2 (19:33):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Rodney? What up? Rodney?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hey, how's it going, guys? Somebody first time caller. I
love listening to you guys. I'm usually on a slope
and a dozer estimator, and you guys get me through
the day. I do have two comments and two questions. Uh, well,
gigs just brought in girl Scout cookies peanut butter patties

(19:57):
for the locker room. But you guys were talking about
the forty nine ers and their practice.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, the practice facility next, Yeah, it's like an online
social media viral conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Hey, one of the great Jonas Knox, he likes to
call it, sure nobly. So you know they're right next
to the nuclear power play up there.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
And then Steadham, you know, we brought him into the
NFL in the fourth round for the Patriots, and we
have no problem. We got rid of him one, we
have no problem taking them on again. Yeah, I know,
I know, I know what to say. Said, Oh, you
know a backup quarterback. You know they got a good

(20:40):
shot against Patriots.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
I don't think so, yeah, said Anyways, you said Nick
Foles social media post. I thought that was really funny
nick Foles.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah. When I seen it, I died laughing. Anyways, Will
Campbell man, I get it. He's a rookie and all,
but he is I mean, he's been just such an
average tackle all year. You never see Drake scrambling left.
He's always scrambling right. Why because the left side is

(21:07):
always faltering. So you know my question about Will is
you know, are we gonna keep going with this?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Listen man, hot O line talk. Hot O line talk
is my specialty. Listen, I think you're doing just fun.
He's I mean the left side could be not as
strong as you want. But he's a top two MVP
candidate and he's put in big numbers, and Drake May
is elusive. He finds his way out of those situations.
I don't think the old line has been what's holding
back to Patriots in any capacity. Maybe not what your

(21:36):
expectation is, Rodney, But and it was on his list.
When I screened that call.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
He said he wanted to ask you guys if you
thought McDaniel was a good fit in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
I'm I'm biased, I guesse. I like Mike McDaniel. I
know he's probably likes, but to me, a creative, offensive mind,
I feel like that's what teams look for now. I
like Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I'd be good with Mendoza, Miami kid. I was thinking that,
like scar facing Manny.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Well, you know what's speaking of Mendoza, let's let's let's
talk tonight for a second. You got your national championship, Danny,
here's a good thing for you as a Raiders fan,
who you guys have alved but pretty much, I mean,
you might as well start ordering your Mendoza jerseys unless
something crazy happens, right.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
The Raiders have a suite there tonight because they said
they want to get a good look at their future quarterback.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
And you know what, I think that's a really cool story,
a great landing spot. It's about time the Raiders are
relevant in that fashion again. Right, this is the biggest
defensive battle that Mendoz will face. Miami is by far
the best defense he's faced in college football. So I
think it'll be interesting to see how he stacks up
because how many times is it hard to assess it

(22:40):
a college quarterback because they're playing defenses they're so much
weaker what they'll ever face in the NFL. For the
front of it, I think he's gonna light them up tonight.
Well see, I'm just throwing that out.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
That speaking of hot O line, take can his O line?
You know, give him time to make the throws he's
going to need to make tonight.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
But you know what, Danny, it might be a good
thing for you to want to see this guy under
pressure at times, because anytime we've ever seen a quarterback
just cruise through college and it looks like like a
Johnny Men's l type where it looks like he's just
playing school yard ball and just those guys haven't historically
worked out, So I think it would be fun to
see him with a challenge that I had a really
good defense. If he could make some plays happen, you'll

(23:16):
see what he's like with pressure.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
And then this quarterback class coming up in the draft
is a little thin on the other side of the ball.
Carson Beck, if he has a great game, he could
move himself up some draft boards.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
And your boy Believe will be there watching Carson Beck.
To me, seems like a guy that will be a
really solid backup in the NFL. Do you see do
you see a team really putting their stake in Carson Beck.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
He's gonna need some star receivers and players around him.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
But it looks like a goofball too, like something about him.
I don't know. We say that about you every day. Yeah,
just because you're a goofball doesn't stop you from being
like his face Colin Coward, he doesn't have quarterback. Since
he doesn't have quarterback, that's not the guy from my
team doesn't have quarterback face. I listen, we have more

(24:04):
coven on Rich. Yes, I was saying, Uh, Carson Beck
looks like he'd play.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
An extra in a Beams buttead movie a skinny Pete
in a Broadway rendition of Breaking Bad?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
How about that? Yeah, I didn't want to be mean,
but he's not. He's got that face.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
He's got the similar skinny Pete face from Breaking Bad,
so he could do it live on stage.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't think that's your quarterback in the future. But
you know what, we'll see tonight. We'll see tonight and uh,
we'll talk that. And I don't have baseball thought a
lot of baseball happening as well. So all that and

review and thank you guys for playing along. There. He
is the Grand Pooba, the champion with your update, Dan Byer,
all right, fellas.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Speaking of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, they're likely to
bring Eric Bonemy back as their offensive coordinator, Bears running
backs coach. Speaking with the Chiefs today, NFL inside Jordan
Schultz says that the enemy will be back as Matt
Nagy's not going to return. Naggy in line to possibly
be the next head coach of the Tennessee Titans, interviewing
with the team today. They also interviewed Robert Sala Titans.

(34:51):
We're gonna speak with Jeff Hafley. He's the next head
coach of the Miami Dolphins, according to reports, just finalizing
a deal is he'll take couple for Ocdaniel.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
In South Florida.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Big news of the day was the Bills fired head
coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons with the team. The
Bills promoted GM Brandon Bean to be the team's president
of football operations. Seahawks lost running back Zach Charboney for
the rest of the season and possibly the start of
next season because of a torn acl suffered in that
win against the forty nine Ers. On Saturday, Denver Broncos
opened up the twenty one day practice window for running

(35:21):
back JK Dobbins. Speaking of the NBA bunch of games
on this MLK Day, including in New York, where the
MAVs are routing the Knicks eighty four to fifty four
right now, three minutes gone by in the third quarter.
The Spurs are on top of the Jazz eighty three
seventy one as they play in San Antonio. Five minutes
left to go in the third quarter, Clippers survived against

(35:42):
the Wizards one ten, one oh six bucks Edge. The
Hawks won twelve to one ten, and the marquee game
of the day, Thunder routed the Cavs one thirty six
to one oh four. Shay Gilders Alexander thirty points, chet
Holm good and chipped in twenty eight guys.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Back to you, Oh thank you, Dan Bayer, the Grand
Champion and the birthday boy. All right, we got more
Kavin on rich baseball thub, we got let's take one
little time out from football. We'll talk college football tonight.
And again, I have a theory on Bellinger. That's really
I think he's a different factory. I'll explain. We do
that next here on C and R. So you're thinking

(36:22):
Ali Larder or the daughter. What are you thinking? It's
a big debate. Oh, I'm sorry, we're talking land Man.
The daughter. I watched the daughter is like, well into her,
she's like twenty eight years old. That's not creepy. Spot
Kavino show. Be the scene where the hot daughter goes
to college and her roommates. I'm like, wacko. Yeah, so
like non binary, like and I remember being like, whoa

(36:42):
who is that? And Kavino's like, well, the big debate
is the daughter or mom. Danny g knows what we're
talking about. He's been promoting Landman since day one. Finally
caught up. But it's all the buzz. Only took you
guys a year. You know what? Did you watch his
or hers on Netflix? That's all the buzz. Fernando Mendoza. Tonight,

used to do that. Cousin Brucey is an East Coast
radio legend, and when you would do commercials, he would

(37:44):
always say easy, they made flour covering easy. Shout out
to cousin Bruce Shout out to him, Shout out to

everything at Covino and Rich and follow at Fox Sports
Radio and at Monci Blanios because I know she's putting
together a video of who's gon to win tonight, Who's
gonna win to win tonight Miami or Indiana. You could

(38:06):
hear it or watch it at Fox Sports Radio, at
Monzy Bolanos on social media. I think she's making sure
there's a filter that are you can you don't recommends
filters on his videos? Yeah, to make part of my contract.
So tonight National Championship. There's nothing else we could say
other than Fernando on display against the toughest defense. Will
see Raiders fans especially are gonna be locked Danny, You're

(38:28):
gonna watch us like a Raiders game. Oh hell yeah.
Not only are Raiders fans locked in? Like Danny g said,
aren't they meeting with coaches there? Like doesn't Tom Brady
have a move. He's taken meetings there with potential head coaches.
They're all there watching Tom Brady to play little reindeer games,
like all right, if you were his coach, what would
you do on this second and three? Like hey, fresh,
shout of downs if you were coaching him. But he's

(38:50):
not joking that. The report is they are all there
watching and meeting with potential coaches. Hey pressures on one
baseball noe because we're big baseball guys and we can't
Tony it. I love MLBA. I'm a big Mets fan.
Cavino's a Yankees fan. Danny, you're a Dodgers guy. There's
not a show that embraces baseball more than we do.
Props to the odd couple. Rob loves his baseball, for sure.
I mean that is true. He is the MLB bro.

(39:11):
But still, besides him, I feel like this Cody Bellinger piece,
wherever it falls to me, is so telling, meaning the
Mets who let a few good players go. But the
Mets were all about a culture change, right, get rid
of Nemo, get rid of McNeil, get rid of Alonzo.
But you forget they bring in Polonko Simeon Now Bobaschett.

(39:31):
If the Mets get Bellinger, then they're competing. I think
you look at it as like they're trying to compete
with the Dodgers, who clearly have a step up on everyone.
But if the Mets got Bellinger, the Mets look like
that's a pretty good lineup. If you told me your
line up at Lindor Soto, Bellinger, Boshett vient Dos Polonkos,
Marcus Simeon. If he doesn't go to Mets, if he
goes to the Yankees, then the Yankees retain a guy

(39:53):
that they wanted. But yeah, they don't want to lose.
But if the Yankees don't get Bellinger, the conflict. They
want seven years. Teams like the Yankees only want to
give them five, but Bellinger. It's what's interesting to me
is that the Yankees have historically been known as the
team that gets the guy. If the Yankees don't get Bellinger,
that means the Yankees have put up nothing in the offseason,

(40:13):
and that's not the Yankee fans don't like that. You
have to ask yourself this with the Dodgers making these
moves and they're clearly the team to beat, right whoever
gets Bellinger is truly proving to everybody that they're in
it to compete and they really want to win. Someone
hass that the Mets, is that the Yankees. We're gonna
find out. We're saying someone he's the difference makee not

(40:34):
saying someone beats the Dodgers. But whoever gets Bellinger is
really saying, we're willing to pay this guy, probably overpaying
for seven years. We're willing to do everything we can
to compete with the Dodgers. And you know what I heard.
The Phillies have entered the conversation. The Phillies have entered
the conversation for Bellinger. But Yankees, Blue Jays, Mets teams
are teams are just trying to get a sniff of
what the Dodgers have right, and whoever fails on this

(40:56):
just finds themselves like, well, let's see now, No, this
is the difference maker. He's the difference maker. We'll see
what happens. Enjoy the game tonight and join us tomorrow
for show Boy Mahomes Trivia Perfect. We'll see you guys.
Then there may be and promised land. Goodbye, guys,
