(00:21):
was school picture day at my kids school, and I'm like, well,
they just started. I'm like, no, they didn't. They started
a month ago exactly. Yep, Time's fine, how Jay Snow? Seriously? Man,
before you know it's week four? Then week five? Put
up Halloween decorations. It's a week crazy? How just keeps
going in order every week?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
God, no, it really is going quick.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
But baseball's heating up football, like you said week three.
And something I wanted to start with was patience, not
your amazing whistling, but you could do it.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's a great song, not bad.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Bryce Young is twenty three years old. Can we start
by saying that Quies Sharper, did you hear.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
What they were saying at our old employer, Steven A
was going off on him. This is maybe the biggest
bust in NFL history.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Blasphemous.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
He's a twenty three year old guy on a crappy team.
Give the guy a break. It is sad, but it
happens to all these young players. He's not the only one.
We've seen it happen so many times, and you're starting
to see it, I mean not quite yet. I think
you get a little more leeway, a little more time
with the Caleb Williams, obviously, but you're.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Seeing him scramble.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
He's got no protection, no offensive line, and with all
these young.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Quarterbacks, this line is offensive. It is offensive. It's grand opening,
grand closed in. Now he'll get more of a shot,
for sure, But Bryce Young, you can't call it a
day on this guy yet, at least I don't think so.
You know what part of the problem is the bust
when you give up on him so quickly, part of
the problemo.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
And this has happened to all of us. But I
feel like, especially.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Steve Covino, knowing you, oh boy, have you ever gone
out on a double date and the other guy? It's
like captain romance and it makes you look weak. It
has happened, Yeah, it's happened. I went out with this
really rich guy one time. Remember his name was Umberto.
That's my classic story. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I went out with my.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Girlfriend at the time, her sister and her older, rich boyfriend,
and he was ordering all these expensive bottles of wine
such as Umberto, such as Zoomberto. The dude was reciting
poetry at the table for such as Umberto.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
You were wearing an affliction T shirt. He had a
suit on. He was ordering for everybody at the table.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Such as Umberto and everythingbody like was leaning in on
every word. He said, you know, go on Umberto, lobster
all around talking about his recent trip. You're like, all right,
enough of this guy making me look bad here.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
When he came to the bill, he.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Expected me to split everything that he was ordering. I
was barely making any I was getting paid in meatballs.
This guy was a millionaire and he was showing me
up the whole time. M have you know chimes in
I've been to the Jersey Show. But it happens and
you feel like the weak link, you do, I get it.
My point is, you know who I'm Berto is? CJ.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Stroud. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
C J.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Stroud came in like what's Umberto?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, because by coming in and making the playoffs, and
now the Houston Texans two and zero undefeated. Guys like
Danny g and people that know their football are saying,
maybe the Texans can make a run in the AFC.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Meanwhile, Bryce, yeah, nothing.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Some people it does take a minute, and some people
get the luxury of learning from someone else, sitting back
and relaxing and and taking it all in, and then
when they get their shot, they feel more comfortable.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
C J.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Stroud went in there and he was running the system.
He took great leadership. That's an exception. And they were
saying that Collinsworth was saying that about Kayleb Williams this weekend,
about he's not just out there making plays. He's out
there being a quarterback calling the shots. He's running the
system like he is the offense right now, and you
got to give him credit for that. He just needs

(04:25):
more protection. You know, some of these guys, you expect
them to be like CJ. Stroud, but not everybody is
c J. Stroud.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
It takes longer for them to develop.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Is anyone else picturing Umberto looking like I'm thinking Bobby Kannavall.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
For some reason, Umberto he had I was picturing the
most interesting man alive.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh, I had this like Andy Garcia vibe about it.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
That's what I'm sacha umberto.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Well, he's already bought out a Cuban cigar with one
of those cutters.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
I didn't know what he was ordering like, it was
just one of those I was just out in match.
He was talking about his boat and his vacate. He
summers here and there.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Anyone who says they summer here and there with an
Italian accent, you want to punch him in there. Yeah,
speaking of covignol, give me your top three red wines.
Red wine?

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah, I drink Natty Ice. Did you tell him you
summer in Rosita, California?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Exactly right.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
So my point in saying this is you can't expect
I look, when you're throwing lots of money at people
and it's a win now, league, I get it, that's
what your expectation is. But it's an unrealistic expectation to
think that every young quarterback's going to come in there
running the system, being the system and having the wherewithal
understanding of an NFL quarterback the way c J. Stroud

(05:46):
has made it look really easy that it is pretty
amazing to see what he's doing.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Not every quarterback's going to do that.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Most scenario that most scenarios are more like Bryce Young.
If you want to go back, the year was nineteen
ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I knew you were going there.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I was in college and I remember I was graduating.
I remember this young stud out of Tennessee Peyton Manning
and his rookie season Cavino. The Colts went three and
thirteen and he threw twenty eight league leading interceptions. Now,
the only thing about Peyton Manning is he came back
year two honed in and focused. And I think people

(06:26):
are not seeing that from Bryce Young, and they were thinking,
all right, growing Pains.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, but not only not only your favorite show in
the eighties. Sometimes again they always say it, right the NFL.
You welcome to the NFL. Everybody's moving a lot quicker.
There's an adjustment period for some people. I hate to
say this, but everybody develops differently, everybody grows differently, everybody
learns differently, and that.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Applies in the NFL as well.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
We're talking about really young men, like really really young men.
It might take him a minute a season, And like
I said, some people like a Patrick Mahomes had the
luxury of learning on the job and taking it easy.
They threw this guy into the deep waters and expected
him to know everything. The fact that CG. Stroud did it,
that's a great point. Rich doesn't mean everybody could do it.

(07:11):
He sort of ruined it for everybody.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
You're see how some kids learn to swim, They really do.
Just throw them in.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, that's what Mexicans do at their family parties with
other people and the swimming's on Taylor lessons and they
laugh at the little kids. Danny g hit us up
with a meme this morning, a little tweet meme from
RG three and it said when you speak on Bryce Young,
just remember this. And it was a picture of Sam

(07:37):
Darnold and Baker Mayfield side by side wearing that Carolina
Panthers uniform and it said both are thriving. In fact,
Baker Mayfield talked about this, they asked him about Bryce Young.
Take a listen.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Quarterbacks hard, especially for young guys, when you're not surrounded
with the pieces that internet, not given the opportunity to
have success. A lot of the time, guys have the talent,
they might have the brains, but they don't the right
opportunity to the right fit. I mean, I'm sitting here
right now in a way better fit than the other
places I've been. And that's that's not to put other
teams down, but it's a matter of the pieces around you,
the coaches, and for Bryce, a guy that's not going

(08:13):
to relate to this, finding that belief within yourself again
and he'll get it. His story's far far from finished.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Props to RG three props to Mayfield and Donald for
making that happen and what great stories to rally behind it.
You know, I'm slowly becoming a Baker Mayfield fan just
because of what he went through and where he's gone
and how far he's grown. You know, I like watching
this dude. Now he's legit. Donald, we're seeing it in

(08:41):
a different team, different system. We always say that, Hey,
maybe that applies to you in your real life. You know,
you're not striving wherever you're at. Maybe a change of
scenery he works, wonders.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think Caleb Williams also time, man, maturity, things like that, right.
I think Caleb is a great example if you want
to step away from Bryce Young for a second, because
going into the season, I feel bad for the guy.
Going into the season, every expert, every network, it was
a lock pretty much, Who's gonna be your offensive rookie
of the year. Well, Caleb Williams. There was talk he's

(09:13):
gonna take this Bears team to the playoffs in year one.
He's got the weapons from you know, eber Flus, you
watched Hard Knocks. Everyone was way high on Caleb Williams.
Now they're saying, he's uh Trey Lancer with the Neil polish.
It's it's an adjustment. Caleb Williams. Two weeks and people
are talking smack already.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
And they're already talking about are they going to trade
Bryce Young? And trust us, we get it. They gave
up a lot for the guy. So your expectations are high,
but again, be realistic. Put yourself in his twenty three
year old cleats for a minute. Whatever it is that
you do. Sometimes you go into a new job and man,
you just fit right in and everything flows. Hey, rich

(09:56):
when you went into your first full time job as
a young man out of college, right, didn't you feel
like it was sort of hard to grasp certain things
in the real world.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I know it was for me. Maybe not for everybody,
but for me. It was I remember I worked.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
For I'm not calling women out, but I worked for
two women at the time. Right, man, I feel like
they were speaking a different language to me. They were
using all this business office jargon.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
They were talking down to me, yelling at me. They
almost had me in tears because I wasn't able to
comprehend everything. I was doing one thing forgetting another because
I'd never been in that type of position before.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
But you know what, fast forward, hey man, I got
the hang of it. I got the swing of it.
I didn't understand why I wasn't comprehending in beginning, but
it was all so new coming at.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Me so fast.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
This guy's a young twenty three year old dude. In
the NFL, some people grasp it. Some people have the
protection to grasp it. Some people get out there and
they're sort of lost, but.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Eventually they get it.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Mayfield, let me pull a Baker Mayfield for us. I
sure the same way he said. I'm not talking bad
about other teams I played for. I'm not talking about
other places I worked in a bad way. But when
we were at a ESPN and they were like, hey, guys,
come on the ESPN way and here's this and that
it's not the fit we have here at Fox Sports Radio.

(11:16):
That's all I have to say, right, I mean, like
management or they put us in position here to to succeed,
to strive to feel comfortable, to be ourselves right where
there wasn't any doubt or confusion and that feeling of
not being sure about what you're talking about or what

(11:39):
you're doing.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Man, I feel bad for this dude with all these expectations,
all these pressures, and again and a crappy team behind them.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
And even more pressure because Chicago's hall is not finished.
Carolina is still on the hook for a twenty twenty
five second round pick.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
So your thoughts, We'll talk Bryce, we'll talk Caleb Williams,
we'll talk about patience. And your feedback is next at eight, seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox. Your Bud's covin on a
wretch here on Fox Sports Radio. We'd love to hear
from you.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh can I give you a little Oh pretty good man?

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Oh yeah, Look as you hear me in the shower
when it's just me and I'm doing my scrub a
dub and I'm whistling away. Oh man, I'll bring a
tear to your eye.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
What's the best whistle song?

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Scorpions?

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Oh? Winds of Change?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Alright?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Good? One fact is a how about Billy Joel? Oh
that's a good one.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah. Usually I find whistling annoying when people do in public,
but if you can hit all the notes, it sounds good.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
About don't worry, be happy?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Good one, great one, Danny g You know you heard
a lot of whistling over the weekend at the Canela fight.
One of the under cards were so boring.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
It was the Danny Garcia Lara fight and it turned
into a bird sanctuary because there's so many Mexicans, so.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Many Mexicans there, and we're.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Mexican exactly. No, there's always whistling going on.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
I mean it was Mexican Independence Day and there was
a lot of fine women there. Sos Cavino and Rich
Fox Sports Radios National Cheeseburger Day and we play some
GNR patients GNR with CNR, because should we have more
patients as a culture in sports? With Bryce Young Todd,

(13:36):
it's so high. They gave up a lot for him
and now we're saying he's done. He's due to diapers.
Gotta get rid of him. What happened to By the way,
aren't we growing up in a time where all these
young kids are like, we gotta give them grace. We
got to give them grace.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Not in sports, but you gotta give this guy some
grace because he's twenty three years old. Them out there
into the deep waters, expecting them to play well because
Rich nailed it, you have this CJ.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Stroud expectation. I'm here to say that CJ.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Stroud is an anomaly, and the anomaly can't be the expectation.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
It just can't be. You gotta let these guys grow somehow,
don't start them so fast. Then not everybody's gonna jump
out there and perform the way CJ.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Stroud has.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
I mean, it's not gonna work every time. But it
appears as though the Jordan Love strategy that was mocked
at first, like they grabbed the quarterback, they got Aaron Rodgers,
and minus the recent injury, Jordan Love just got paid
a ton of dough and everyone says he's the hot
young quarterback. So maybe not throwing a twenty two to
twenty three year old into the NFL on a trash

(14:43):
team all it does is bury your confidence and unless
you have an offensive line. And Danny, we've talked about that,
how they're giving some of these young quarterbacks nothing. They
might get a couple of weapons, but you can't get
the ball to the weapons if no one's blocking.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
And another example to your point, the Falcons got trashed
by a lot of people for taking Pennix junior, and
it's gonna be good for him to sit behind.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Absolutely, you know, I was racking my brain with that example.
That's exactly it. Danny g nailed it right there. That
might be the better formula. And who's to say that,
you know, I hadn't Bryce Young been put in that situation,
he would have developed into a great player, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
That's the sad part about it.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
And that's why the Baker Mayfield story and the Sam
Donald opportunity is so great to see because they got
that second chance to prove that they belong and I'm
sure their confidence was crushed at one point.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
And as far as patience goes Cavino, and it's something
we all lack, and as you said, a guy like c. J. Stroud,
the anomaly shouldn't be the expectation something else. We got
to point out with a lot of the quarterbacks and
players in the NFL being uh, what's that word from
Christmas story? Fred g I was gonna say that's the

(15:58):
way with all the fred Gila players. It's not crazy
to have two quarterbacks. In fact, having a pretty solid
backup is a beautiful safety net. To have, God forbid
something that happens to Kirk Cousins, you'd have Michael Pennix Junior.
Look at the Dolphins now, Tua may not be back ever,
let alone at least for the next couple of months. Yes,

(16:20):
Skyla Thompson, something maybe you should have thought about yesterday.
So no harm in having a young guy learn a
little bit. Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
In fact that I am. I gotta hit the gym.
But I do feel for these young players.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
I do. I feel bad for them.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's a sweatshirt season, no, no, no, because we're at
the age now.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
You know, we're the youngest in the game. Don't get
a twistedt. Covino and Rich we stay fresh. But I'm
at the point where I am looking at these guys like, man,
these guys are younger than my little brother. Imagine that
was like your your brother or something. It's twenty three
years old. He's like, my career is over. He's like, no, man,
you'll be all right.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
But they might not.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Get that shot because their confidence could be crushed. These
are young, young dudes, man, and everybody develops differently. Like
his athleticism is probably there might be there, but the
wherewithal the understanding the football IQ, it might take him
a little longer look at.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
It might not be the right fit.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
There's so many factors, right, and a guy like Zach Wilson,
this poor dude gets drafted. The minute he gets drafted
more people are concerned about his hot mom. Yeah, ends
up with the Jets, plays like trash on a trash team.
Then they bring in Aaron Rodgers, revent the team. Oh
your backup?

Speaker 3 (17:40):
All right? On a backup?

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Aaron Rodgers gets hurt a couple of plays into the season,
he's thrown in there.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
His confidence is shot. Remember, towards the end of the year,
it just seemed like it was no hope for Zack Wilson. Wait,
there was a rumor about Zach Wilson today, Yeah, there
was that. The Giants are looking at that was it, right?
Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I don't know how that came about, but these guys
are Think of where you were in your early twenties.
Imagine someone told you, yeah, your career path, Yeah you're done, kid.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
I told you, dude. I'm not trying to I'm trying
to figure out full beard yet exactly. I'm just trying
to make it relatable. When I first started in radio,
it wasn't even like on the air. It was just
in radio. I was working in radio, bro I couldn't
comprehend anything. I really couldn't. It was just too much
at once, and all those people that were pointing their
finger at me and yelling at me, what are they doing?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Now?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm on Fox Sports Radio. I may have took me
a minute, but I did pretty well for myself. Everybody
learns at their own pace. Unfortunately, like we said, it's
a it's a win now sort of thing. They got
to give these guys a chance to develop just a
little more before they throw them away.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
A lot of people gave up on Kyler Murray last
season's and he's looking great, and our very own Dan
Bayer during the preseason said don't sleep on him yet,
and look at how he's come out guns blazon to
start this season, so it's in And I think that's
the best example. Because of the size. He's a smaller quarterback,
he obviously has some wheels. If you give him a

(19:06):
couple of years to develop, he could get to that point.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Yeah, we were saying, go back to baseball. Remember he
made a bad choice. His speed is dangerous. So yeah,
that's another great example. But the one RG three was
posting about today was again Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Good for them. Young guys need time. It really is.
It's a shame, but it's.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
A win now.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
League.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Let me ask you one last question then, to wrap
it up. When you hear Steven A and guys like
that saying biggest bust in history, biggest bust ever, blasphemy,
when does it become the biggest bust? Like, what is
the what is the leeway you give a young guy if.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
When he starts drinking the purple drink.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I'm saying, if this team goes two and fifteen two
years in a row and it's like almost allah the
Browns a decade or so ago and you're not winning
any games, I mean, it'shoot.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Dan Bayer. What do you think the leash here on
Bresce youngest.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
I think that at least is very very short. And
I think that's just the way that it is now
in the National Football League, which isn't fair. The biggest
bust ever, There's there's no way, absolutely absolutely not there.
There could have been red flags with Bryce Young with
size and everything, JaMarcus Russell, you know, with the with
the Raiders who had all the talent in the world
and didn't do anything with it. Bryce Young is just

(20:23):
not adjusting to the NFL. He's second guessing himself. That
to me is is more of a bust because of
what you didn't do with.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
The talent that you had.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Not that Pryce Young isn't talented, but I don't think
Bryce Young is wasting it.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
And that's that's not just the talent that you have
around you as well.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, you know so, I think that's when you know rich,
When you know you have all that talent around you
and you're still not stepping up, right, That's that's a
great indicator, I would say. And you know what, I
hate to be cliche and give you another saying one
man's trash is another man's gold.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Its treasure or something like that. Yeah, good one.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Look at Jared goh his first few is in few years. No,
but honestly, what man's trash is another man's treasure. Who's
to say in a year from now? What if? I mean,
I don't want to be the speculation guy, but what if,
like the Dolphins said, hey, you know two of this
is not going to work. What what's trade package would
you get for Bryce Young? What if you threw Bryce
Young with Mike McDaniel and all of a sudden he's
got Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and most in a

(21:24):
chan and all and the line? What what happens there?
Is he the same Bryce Young that you're seeing in Carolina?
You know, I don't think so, I mean, but if
but if he was, then you then you really know
as Baker Baker Mayfield's and in that clip, Yeah, I
want to hear one more time.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I do. Actually, yeah, because he's a great example.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Quarterbacks hard, especially for young guys, when you're not surrounded
with the pieces that internet not given the opportunity to
have success. A lot of the time, guys have the talent,
they might have the brains, but they don't have the
right opportunity to the right fit. I mean, I'm sitting
here right now in a way better fit than the
other places I've been. And that's that's not to put
other teams down, but it's a matter of the pieces
around you, the coaches, and for Bryce, a guy that's

(22:05):
not going to relate to this, finding that belief within
yourself again and he'll get it. His stories far far
from finished.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
Ae well said, man, He's come a long way by
the way he went from like it's sort of a
polarizing guy that might have rubbed you.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
The wrong way to a guy you want to get
behind and root for.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
You know.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
You know what's interesting though about Baker is Baker has
kind of found a spot. And Yeah, as you guys
were actually talking to the first segment, I was trying
to think of, you know, if there was like a
TV star, sitcom star, star of TV. They went and
tried to do movies and it didn't work, but they
just they're they're in their pocket and TVs and they're
magnificent in TVs.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
They like a David Swimmer. Yeah, yeah, but not everybody
is Alex P. Keaton, Michael J.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Fox.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Sure, sure, not everybody That's what made him great. That's
what made him an anomaly.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Not everybody could go from family ties to back to
the future like this. Look at it O'Neil, ed O'Neil
get married with children. No one really loved ed O'Neil movies.
Then he went to Modern family and I had another
ten year runner. He's a great TV star. Hey, ed
O'Neil was in Wayne's world. Yeah, very crazy, uh donut
shop owner? Yes, I remember that.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
And the point that I was gonna make was, remember
Baker Mayfield started as a walk on. So what he
fits is he fits is the underdog sort of role
when he became Baker Mayfield Heisman Trophy winner, first overall pick.
Maybe that isn't isn't who Baker is. Maybe that's where
he doesn't thrive. Maybe you know, just doesn't work that way.

(23:31):
A great point.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
They right, those expectations, Yeah, right, when you erase those expectations,
you hit the rock bottom. Then you know you take
away that stigma by removing those expectations.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Good point.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
You see you feel for real, like you think about it. Actually,
I mean Dan led me there, so I got to
give Dan the credit.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I mean, yeah, when you when you when you're Baker
Mayfield and your Heisman guy, and you're like supposed to
be the best.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, man, you stink.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
But then when you stink and all of a sudden
you're playing lights out, you're like, man, he's come along.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Way, he's great. Yeah, it's true, Like, uh, you go
off from there. I felt that way about Ryan Fitzpatrick
always when.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
He was the backup that gave everyone a little little
spark off the bench when the starter was hurt for
a couple of weeks. That was that was that's where
he that was his pocket. When it was like should
we go at Ryan Fitzpatrick as a starting quarterback?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
I don't root against any of these guys to succeed.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
So uh, that's the story. That's the update.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
And speaking of quarterbacks, we're gonna have to talk about
what Miami should do because there's a lot of rumors
there too. So we'll get to the Wilson's being thrown
out there, Trey Lance, you're hearing a lot of names
in that mix.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Start thinking about that, Start thinking about cheeseburgers. I have
some gripes of baseball. But let's go to Dan Bayer
for an update.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
What's up, dB, Yeah, the ticket has been punched in
baseball's postseason, as the Milwaukee Brewers are NL Central champions.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
They didn't even play this afternoon.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
The A's did the dirty work, topping the Cubs five
to three, So Milwaukee's magic number entering the day was one.
Cubs lost, Brewers or division champs for the third time
in four years.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Just they celebrate after the game tonight because they already clinched.
I always find that odd when it's already, when the
work is done to the.

Speaker 7 (25:17):
Ass and like we did it, they absolutely will win
or lose. And the funny thing is is the Phillies
can clinch a postseason spot. At your Mets lose and
the Braves lose to the Reds, Philadelphia would be able
to clinch a playoff spot. They could celebrate. You could
have two celebrations going on in different locker rooms in Milwaukee,
depending on how it all plays out tonight. Love it, yes,

(25:40):
but still some baseball to be played. Your Mets start
of the day, rich tied with the Diamondbacks for the
second wild card in the National League. Diamondbacks putting in
work against the Rockies, up eight to two in the
ninth inning. White Sox Angels right now in Anaheim won
nothing Sellsiders.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Over the Halos in the seventh day.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
Barnburn, that is, Hey, I wonder how many people are
actually there. Well, yes, it's White Sox Angels. Don't know
if Mike Harmon was able to make it down. Notable
white Sox fan here at Fox Sports Radio. But yeah,
a tough, tough tickets.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think if he went down there, they let him
sit in the dugout. Yeah, Harmon's batting. What's going on here?
Packers quarterback Jordan Love limited a practice with his knee injury.
No practice for Texans running back Joe Mixon. The Rams
did not place Cooper Cup on injured reserve, despite the
fact that Cup could miss multiple weeks because of that
ankle injury. Two time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning one

(26:36):
of one hundred and sixty seven modern era players now
that have been nominated for an Enshrime Minute to the
Hall of Fame class of twenty twenty five.

to get to.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, you blubber list jam in me. Well, you know
what it's called over promise. You should be good at
it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life
and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue
on our after show called over Promised. Well, if you
don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you check

(27:42):
out over Promised and also Uncensored by the way, so
maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's
gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
There you go, over promising, And remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over promised with
Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your popodcasts. Rich before we talked cheeseburgers

(28:08):
a national cheeseburger.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
I mean, I can't wait. I just wanted to say
that I love you.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
That you're getting fired up about baseball again because there's
so much football action going on. But I love the
moves that are being made. I saw Marcus Stroman warming
up in the bullpen yesterday. You're seeing the teams getting ready.
You know what I mean, You're so adjusting. You stay, yeah,
you start making adjustments. But I don't know if you
saw this. I thought it was kind of cool. I
just want to point it out. Lon Soto reached like

(28:33):
four milestones with one home run yesterday. What were they?
He hit his fortieth. His fortieth also happened to be
his two hundredth. His two hundredth also happened to be
what completed a home run in every Major League ballpark
in Seattle.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
That's awesome, and it also marked the first time Yankees
had two forty home run hitters him and Judge since
Mantle marisk it he did.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
All that with one home run though. Kind of cool,
but again just things to get excited about. As October,
Like you said, the adjustments, you start to see I'm closer.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, Danny, you're saying it with the Dodgers too.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You wonder what back end relievers, I'm sorry, what back
end of the rotation guys become relieved. What speedsters they
call up that could play a major par in the postseason,
but they always that guy.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Start seeing like the Mets called up I call him
little Acunya.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, he already hit a bomb. Little Acuna
is the bomb.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
He is the bomb. Does a guy like that make
the postseason roster?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
If they make it in you start wondering, like, there's
always that spark plug, you got the hot hand. You know,
there are guys, there are guys that have been with
the team in the bullpen or you know, the fourth
or fifth outfielder that don't necessarily make that twenty five
twenty six man postseason roster.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
For the Dodgers, Gavin Stone, it was just announced that
he's most likely done for the season. That injury riddled
pitching staff for the Dodgers is insane. When you look
at how many pitchers have gone down they lost glasses
now for the rest of the season, and they're talking
about maybe having Otani pitch in the post season.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
That's the other thing cool. I was getting to that,
Ja Mamota, you number one guy or no. Right now
he would be is edging toward fifty to fifty. Right
he's forty eight forty eight yep, and they're talking about
him out of the bullpen. So you're seeing that postseason
scramble auditions for certain players.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
It's just a great time and it gets you fired
up because again, football excites you. I know it's your favorite,
but those little things that are starting to happen gets
you invested again.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
And again, what guys are back for the playoffs that
may have missed most of the year. Like not just
because it's my Mets, but Cody Senga is a legitimate
ace in the National League and the Mets have not
had him all year. Remember he had one start and
in that one start he was pitching lights out and
then hurt his leg.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Sweet Ace, I mean said you love a good sweet Ace.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Now from the ti iraq dot com studios, again, we're
Cavino and Rich and while we get excited about baseball.
I also want you to start thinking about your favorite
cheese burger, all right, your your number one spot, your
number one chain spot. Me when it comes to cheese spots,
now like chain burger places.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
So I don't want to hear about your local Bart's Burger.
You know Bart's Burger and Poughkeepsie's break. I don't care
about there.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
It is, but nobody knows it but you and people
in your hometown.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
So we can all get well, we'll talk about burgers,
because who doesn't only talk about food as well? So
choost choos, Mark got Choos Mat.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
We'll talk about cheesebagerround Chaseeburger coming up.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
We're also more NFL spots, got midwek Major But I said,
I have a gripe with Major League Baseball, So let
me get this off my mind and we'll move along
back to football and other stuff. The question is simply this,
who is accountable when obvious blown calls are made? I've
seen three of them in the last twenty eight to

(31:54):
forty eight hours, and I get it. Guy does the
little headphone movement for the dugout coach replay. We're gonna
go to New York for the replay three plays or Garbaggio,
and they were all wrong. And I'm wondering to myself,
who is accountable when they say, all right, uh, it's

(32:16):
clear that he was safe. The call stands he was out.
Are we just trusting some bonehead in a replay center.
I want explanations. The fans deserve it. You watch one
hundred and sixty two of these stupid things.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
No one's accountable, and like you're saying, like, who's the
guy in New York?

Speaker 3 (32:34):
They go to like, we want to know there was
two yesterday and the third but have been yesterday or two
days ago.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
But it has to be like irrefutable though number one, right,
Altuve hits a foul ball off his foot. Yeah, they're saying,
didn't hit his foot. Go to the replay, No, didn't
hit his foot. Altuv gets thrown out because he takes
his shoe in sock off to try to show the
umpire like, look, my foot is bruised. I got hit

(33:00):
the foot.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
I thought they threw him ou because he had ugly feet. Yeah,
those feet.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
Get out here, you're out here. Those ugly feet made
him sniff a sock. Yeah, I thought you were gonna
say he finally took his jersey off.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
No, he won't take his jersey of you that he's
not hiding anything in his shoes. Danny so Altuve blown
call number one. Clearly the ball goes off his foot. Yeah,
he's in pain. And of course you're you're thinking yourself, well,
what's the point. Why why go to the video? Why
go to the replay? Why go to New York? If
they're not going to get it right, that's the point
of replay.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
The point of replay is to get it right. If
you don't get it right, we all get it is
the butt. So if we all get it, Yeah, where's
the answers? Who do we punch in the face?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Is what to?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Trey Turner slides into second base? Oh he doesn't just slide.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
They miss him by a mile. Go to the replay
center out where's the tag? Play number? You have to
it has to be convincing. It has to be obvious.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Play number three.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, profar in a tight game against the Astros, extra innings,
inside pitch now they want him up there for the
pitching matchup. They're saying, ball hits him, he gets out
of the way, the ball comes nowhere close to hitting.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
I mean you could clearly see the ball does not
it was closed, but it didn't hit him.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Profar right, go to the replay center in New York
after further review, the ball hit him. Take for his
biss Yeah, Like.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
How was that?

Speaker 1 (34:32):
What? I guess what Rich is saying is he wants answers.
You really just want to face to punch.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
But was face? Do we punch when we.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Know you got it wrong?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Everybody knows you, Now, how do you explain that I
loved it?

Speaker 1 (34:45):
As a Mets fan hoping the Padres lost On the
next play, Manny Machado grounded out for an inning and
game ending out. But Profar should have been in the
batter's box. So my question to everyone, it's more of
a question no one, I guess, because who is accountable
when you get a call wrong in baseball, football, basketball,

(35:06):
when replays there for a reason and it's still wrong,
who is held accountable? If you f up at your job,
you're accountable. If you who's to replay? Like if I
just spilled, if I spilled a hot coffee all over
the microphones and they short it out, who's responsible? We know?
We know Elias is at the Sports Bureau, Who's at
the Review Center? Some DRABRONI that keeps making mistakes.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
You don't have to.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Answer that question. I'll answer the question.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
We want to know.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I want to know. I think it's a great question, Rich,
So I want the truth.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
I clearly I'm not going to get the answer some
I'm talking to the air like everyone else. But last
night baseball just really disappointed. Great great run at the playoffs,
but when you miss three calls in New York at
the Review Center, something's got to change. If you need
something extra to watch, last night, the Aaron Hernandez Show began.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
It's called American Sports Story Aaron Hernandez. We had the
star of this FX.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Hulu series docu series, ten part series on our bonus podcast,
over promised.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
It's on Fox Sports.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Radio's YouTube page, Covino and Rich with Josh Rivera. It's
a pretty cool opportunity because he gets to play Aaron
Hernandez and a lot of people are buzzing about it.
So if you want the inside scoop of what it
was like and what he had to learn just to
prepare to be Aaron Hernandez in this in this new show.
Check it out Fox Sports Radios YouTube page and Danny G.

(36:31):
You were saying that the show got rave reviews.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Nay one.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Usually Twitter hates most things Twitter loved. Everybody on Twitter
was loving this series last night.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
So again over promised. On Fox Sports Radios YouTube page
and our podcast. Danty G puts the best of up
every night. Search Caveno and Rich. Wherever you stream, be
sure to follow, rate and review.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Gee wee wee wee wee still ailed again, Still don't
know that's Iowa, shall wee wee?

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Sam. We got Danny G on the phone at eight seven,
seven ninety one. Fox Spot's getting ready for midweek major
and buyers on your updates on Cavino.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
That's Rich now.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Before you get into cheeseburgers and football and all good stuff.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
We wrapped up our thoughts about baseball, but I had.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
One more, one more personal question I wanted to ask
you guys.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Oh boy knowing then yeah, maybe she had a checked Rich.
I know you've been itching for for a minute.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Jim Forrest, scratch No. I I was looking at the
MLB standings. Now Diamondbacks are half a game ahead of
my Mets. Okay, but but if The Mets did end
up making the postseason and got hot the last ten games, which,
by the way, isn't a while to think. The whole

(37:51):
thing comes down to how do you play over the
final ten games? After one hundred and fifty two, it's
the last ten.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
I love how some of these wrap up to, like
the He's played Baltimore the second to last series.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, the Mets who they play last?

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Brewers? Okay, and clinched today. Here's the crazy part. The
Mets could play the Brewers and then stay in Milwaukee
because if they were the third wildcard, the third wildcard
plays the third division winner. So the Mets may rap
against the Brewers and then stay in Milwaukee on the
road because they play with them again. All Right, So

(38:26):
we talked about the excitement, the scramble, all these moves
being made, But what's your personal question. My question is,
so many times over the years, I've gone out of
my way to see my team in person, only to
be let down multiple Super Bowl losses where I spent
money and resources to go to the game.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
World Series.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Every time my team's in the big game, they lose playoffs.
I'm just like, I'm like, I maybe the mush If
and Dan Byer would back me up on us because
he was talking about the seedings of the playoffs. If
the Mets were the second seed, second wildcard, they would
play the best wildcard, which is likely going to be
the Padres midweek like a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Okay, do

(39:10):
I take a drive down do the show from San
Diego and see the Mets Padres?

Speaker 3 (39:13):
If that would be the case.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
I think so, but never underestimate that the Mets will
go three and seven over the final the comfort of
your living room seventy five inch TV, you got. I
feel like that front row seat on your to your
TV is the most underrated seat in the house.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
And then I'm like, who would go with me? By myself?

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Also, Rich, if you would like to drive to San Diego,
leave at five in the morning.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
You ever try to make that job? You know, I
can find the studio and do the show from down there.
But again, I'm a Mets fan living on the West Coast,
so it's not like a bros around here. They'd be like,
y'all go with you? Who's driving down to San Diego
on like a Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday?

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Chewe we Sam will go with you, y'a, Sam, you
got me? Can I offer a suggestion for Vegas? I'll
be done for somewhere to.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Go? By the way, so Michael goes. We party so
hard with big microL runs his place. I didn't trouble
for work.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Money, didn't Monday off to recoup true story goes.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
If that's any indication how fun it is to party
with Cavino on rich Auburn next Friday, Let's go.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
And by the way, you want to see our Vegas
adventures with Mike who runs his place? We posted pictures
at Covino and Rich on our instagram if you want
to check that out. Underneath the story, somebody wrote, who
that's right?

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Hey, Danny gy So, let me ask you this.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I think you should go rich So to answer your
question to traffic's insane, Danny jerready made that point.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
But yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I mean now that it's been a great season, now
that I've said it, the Mets will go three and
seven over the last ten and missed the playoffs. But
there's a fifty to fifty chance that if the Mets
were to make the postseason, they'd have that three game
wildcard set all in San Diego.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Yeah, I'm two hours away without traffic. Get in front
of the traffic.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
And I gotta say Petco Park is one of the
best spots beautiful in the whole country to watch baseball
night before.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Very nice people. It's not like a it's not like a.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
I don't know Padres fans. You can consider nice people,
but they're not dangerous.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
It's like, it's not like going to a Philadelphia player.
How does that wrap go, Covino?

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Oh, that's what's it. That's what's it. But we've talked
about solo missions. I'm cool going on a business trip,
sitting at a bar having a drink, watching a game.
I'm okay go to the movie theater by myself. A
lot of people. I saw an article about how more
than ever, people are doing solo traveling, like they're seeing

(41:32):
the world. They're going to Europe and you know, Mexico
and Canada and Barcelona. People travel solo more than ever. Now,
weird to go on a solo baseball trip.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Think about it.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
One seat too, I could probably get a good seine.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
It'd be fun. Like I said, go the night before.
So to answer your question, yeah, I think you go
if you go at the right time. It's a two hour,
two plus hour drive to San Diego.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Watch your team. You've rooted all season. Why not go now, go.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
See the White Sox. You can have all the seats.
You know, you can sit on Harold Bain's lap if
you go to a White Sox. You know now that
I said that, you know the Mets will now lose
five in a row.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
I jinxed it everybody. Now, Uh, We're gonna take a
break from baseball from football to talk about something I
think we all love. Like Danny loves the Raiders, I
love the Niners. Dan Byers a Seahawks fan. We all
got our teams. I was Sam only roots for Caitlin
Clark no matter what sport we talk about.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
MVP of the NFL. He roots for Wayne and Garth.
I could see it's yeah, Wayne's world, and iHeart But
I think.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
The one thing we could all agree on a damn
good cheeseburger. Today is one of those dumb days. It's
National Cheeseburger Day. And you know that I love national days. Well,
it's just a burger until Rich got it.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
And it's not that dumb because there's some chains with
specials in freebies today because of the holiday.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
Can I make an usher confession though? This is my confession.
I don't need cheeseburgers. I'm like those in tolerant. I
don't like cheese.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
I never got.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Cheese cheese, not really.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
The heck, what am I?

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Steve Rkle got any cheese. That'sn't make it sound like
you're normal. You're the weirdo here. I don't normally like hamburgers,
are loving dairy byproduct to I'm saying, I'm come on
this guy telling you my story, and my my confession
was this, It's truth.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
I've never had My trip is my truth. I'm trying
to be my most unapologetic self. I'm being my most
authentic self. Leave me alone, guys. I never had a
big Mac and I've never had a whopper.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Shut the front.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
I've never had You know this can get out of here, Sam,
go run to McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Cut it out.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
I don't need cheese.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
We have been trying to set up a Hibachi date
for Dan Byer. We need to set up a whopper
date for.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Youeese, So either way, get it without cheese, then don't
have cheese with Yeah, you.

Speaker 8 (44:00):
Have to add cheese to it, not even real cheese.
Big Macs have cheese standard, but yeah, whoppers don't.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Have cheese standard. Enough with Rich every day, there's only
so much cheese I can handle.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Let's tell you.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
There's a lot of lame things about you. One of
them is your cheeseburger habits. So you might want to
set this conversation out. I've seen Cominos say the best
burger ever, and he got it.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
On a lettuce rap, not even a bug.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
When we talk, I get regular Hamburgers, or I'll get
that kids hamburger, you know the the chicken Sea always
say serve it looks like the inside of a shoe. Yeah,
long chickens, long shoes.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Chicken sanwich.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
I have to, on my confession, back out and defer
to Rich as the authority here. I will say, if
we were talking regular hamburgers, I've said it before, I'll
say it again. Habit Burger is my favorite, most underrated burger.
It's a chain. It's not everywhere, but it is a chain.
When it comes to cheeseburgers, Rich, I'm.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Gonna have to back out. I don't get cheeseburger.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
I mean I mean, it's not much different than a Hamburger,
so will allow you in this conversation.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
But still I don't have the knowledge that you have.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
If there is a if there's a best go to
fast food cheeseburger, we want to hear what you think
it is. Because if you like you said, if you
said in my hometown, Bart's Burgers, no one knows Bartsburger,
so your phone call is irrelevant. I feel like there's
the top few. There's a bills Burger's nearby. Good for

(45:29):
Bill and his burgers. It takes like an hour to
get your burger, but it's great.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
I what are the top three? My top three? And
have they changed? We always try to update it, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (45:38):
This National Cheeseburger Day, Riches mayor mccheese, has it changed?

Speaker 4 (45:44):
Is there a solid three? Can you do your best?
Casey Kasem or Spider Harrison. Let's count it down?

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Three?

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Yeah, what's coming in? Number three?

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Number three on my top burger list?

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Number three?

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Let me go shake check.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Yeah, I never had it. Shakeshack good burger.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
I mean there are times that people there's people that
stand in line at Shakeshack for like four innings at
City Field in New York. They're all over the place.
They're out here on the West coast. Now it's not
just the New York East Coast thing. Shake Shack fantastic.
By the way, I say, no excuse, there's a few
of them in this area.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 8 (46:21):
Streight people waiting in line at the fight this weekend
for shake they missed like one of the under cards for.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Tell you there's a shake check inside the team in
Las Vegas. I'm gonna go Shakeshack number three, number two,
coming in at number two, number two. It's it's way overpriced.

(46:46):
Well you didn't take this long with your Super Bowl
predict right, Hold on now, hold on number two. It's
way overpriced. And I hate the gimmick of throwing five
million franchise.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
In my bag.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
I feel like it's it ends up being twenty something
doll as a person. But I'm going five guys. I've
never had five guys.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
I like their cheeseburgers. I give them a number two.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
And number one, number one, coming to number one, Spider
Harrison with your top three burgers.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Cheeseburgers.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
There's a place now, I'm not doing the whole Sportsburger's
next door, because there have a handful of them. It
is regional, though there's a place I go to all
the time in Texas. I think there are a lot
in the South, in the Midwest.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
I know what's coming.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Freddy's. This is really that good.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Texas. I love Freddy's.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
I was. There's a place that I love, but I
don't think it's It's a chain, but not a chain.
Enough's a place called Pete Terry's. Pet Terry's is fantasm
good Freddy's because you know what, I'm in a smash
burger rage right now, and they got a good smash burger.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
So I on the Oklahoma trip I saw Freddy's Rich
I thought of you, is it really that good? I
didn't have it.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
I don't I want to leave it. I defer now
to the Fox Sports Radio Nation number three. We're just
saying shake shack number two.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Five.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
Guys, all good burgers have had those, never cheeseburgers, but
I've had them.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Freddy's never had Freddie Schudze list only because twenty twenty
four is the year of the smash burger. Everyone loves
their little griddle smashed burger with elm and by the way,
you're out here.

Speaker 4 (48:20):
In La there's a lot of people probably shaking their
head saying, how does he leave?

Speaker 3 (48:23):
In and out?

Speaker 5 (48:24):
They are my number three, okay, double double with cheese,
right three, Okay, that's my number three, number two Carl's
Junior slash Harty's in other parts of the country. Western
bacon cheeseburger.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Oh sounds good, risk I get that. I get that
without the cheese, and it's so so good.

Speaker 5 (48:41):
It is all right, and number one for me the
baconator cheeseburger at Wendy's. Something about how they do the
baconator there. It's it's a really good cheese.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
By the way, their hamburger is superior when it comes
to fast food. So how is Wendy's not on a list?

Speaker 1 (48:55):
I worked at Wendy's in high school, so, mam, I'm
a little like a little Wendy's out like I was.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
The dressed up as little orphan Andy. I don't know
if you know about Wendy as the guy in the
middle here. I think I like Danny G's top three.
I'm not even kidding, only because I never had Freddy,
so to be fair, I never had it.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Okay, it's a good time. That's a solid top three.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
But like Steak and Shake or Culver's danl is fantastic,
Wolver's fantastic Steak and Shake, this is not here but regional.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
This is hard to narrow down.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Damn Bayer. Do you have any burger joints, any top three?
They come to mind?

Speaker 3 (49:24):
I am the king of the Plaine Hamburger. Again.

Speaker 7 (49:26):
I don't like condiments. I don't like cheese. I don't
want lettuce or anything. Yes, what's that what Ron Swanson does?
No condiments on his plain hamburger, the whole deal, button
meat only.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
That's what I want. Burger king is all right. McDonald's
is uh. Culvers would be my number one?

Speaker 7 (49:45):
Yes, I don't, but I don't consider like five guys
in that same sort of conversation, although I'd rather still
have a Culver's burgers.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Culver's is a tear above the same way when Comino says, uh,
habit burger, I feel like habit. And this is a
place out here that I think there's a place out
here that might be also regional. But that middle level
called the stand, Yeah, I'm going there after work. I
feel the stand is ax next level up where it's
not they don't have drive throughs and you get a beer.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Though, you get a beer, that's what I'm gonna have it.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
If they give you a number to bring to your
table and they bring you the food that's not cooking.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Yeah, it's like mid level. It's like diner diner com.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Hey, enjoy your cheeseburgers in and Danny g did point
it out. Look on social media. If you're hungry and
you're a cheap skate and you want some free food,
there's a lot of fast food burger places today that
are doing like free cheeseburgers if you buy something else
or buy one, get one free. So if you're in
a cheeseburger type of mood.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
And with all this burger talk in honor of Iowa,
Sam's Wayneworld's hat, Swing Swing. You got me pumped and
excited about about a burger?

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yeah, well swing enjoy your murgos. Well we'll get to
Spots Midweek Major. Next, spots got a lot of fun
stories in the world of sports and andertainment.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Next, Covino and Rich get you over the middle of
the week when mid Week Major. I love that we
throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the Fellas,
and it's like the kids.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Say, that's so, we definitely see it. Our scoring mid
week major.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Oh yeah, when I say mid, you say week mid
wait mid.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
When I say week, y'all.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
Say major week, Major week, Major week. Remix. It is
the middle of the week. You hear the horns. That
means you have made it to the middle of the week.
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this segment, we like to roll the
big red Love Dice Sticky Icky Dice.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
The main studio. Ah, I got nine nine nice, no ritual.

Speaker 8 (51:59):
Oh rickroll na five ram That means con gets first take.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the man, well, the most
famous person, because there's one woman more famous. Judy bloom
Stop the most famous person allegedly from Scotch Plains, New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Spotty boy. Hew, Hi, guys, are.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
You all right?

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Let's jump into this all right?

Speaker 8 (52:24):
As we know, Patrick Mahomes celebrated his twenty ninth birthday yesterday.
I'm Gonna stop It and his pest pud Travis Kelcey,
spared no expense for a gift. Mahomes revealed during an
interview on the Drive on Tuesday that Travis gifted him
with a swanky swanky was the word Louis Vatam golf bag.
No official word on how much was spent, but on

(52:45):
the brand's website similar bags are going for like twenty
two to thirty two or thirty three thousand dollars wow
for this bag. So Mahomes is like, yeah, I don't
know ifall I'll use it because it's kind of expensive,
but we'll see midweek.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Or maybe I.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
Think it's made because he could have went with a
stupid Gucci hat and nobody wants that.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
No, it's the weakest hat ever. So at least he
bought him a Louis Vutan golf bag. He's using that
that podcast money that Taylor Swift residual money props to him.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
I think that's a generous gift. I think it's nice.
I think it's a major gift. What do you think rich?

Speaker 1 (53:19):
I'm gonna go mid that they're rich and famous, like
money doesn't shock me with a present like that. But
is he a big golfers? Does he need? Yes, it's
kind that's a nice gesture. Listen, if we all made
tens and tens of millions of dollars we'd be able
to getting each other pretty sweet. I thought that counts presents, right,
I thought that was thoughtful. It's a designer bag.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Mahomes might not have done that for himself, right, So
Kelsey went above and beyond did it for his buddy.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
I think that's nice. Over to the other Kelsey.

Speaker 8 (53:49):
Jason Kelce squashing rumors that he was drunk during the
Monday night football celebration where you know, he was wearing
his green track suit doing the running man, jumping up
and down, breaking guys in these all that kind of stuff.
His brother Travis was as it was saying that he
looked drunk on the New Heights podcast this week, and
Jason immediately cut him off, being like, no, had zero beers.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
I'm a professional.

Speaker 8 (54:12):
Although he did admit that it was very tempting being
back home in Philadelphia to want to jump into some
some libations, but he did avoid it.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
Midweeker major. Yes, I said a.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Mid story because even with Joe Buck during the broadcast,
he said that he wanted to wrap it up so
he could have a drink. So I believe he wasn't drinking.
I think it's funny that his brother called him out
because he was acting a fool. He was everywhere. He
was doing the running Man. You know, he practically did
the worm on stage. So I think it's a mid story.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
But I think he is professional enough to wait, and
I think he did. We've seen so much Kelsey Kelsey.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
I'm so. I mean, I think it's Kelsey fatigue. I
really do.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Yeah, it really is. I'm gonna go mid.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
I mean, so we agree, grown drink.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
If Kelsey Grammer showed up on the TV, would you
turn off because it's Kelsey Grammer crazy?

Speaker 3 (55:06):
I would. I would.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
How about Kelsey Ballerini? Yeah, I would? But hold on,
hold on, Rich, I do think that he again, he's
signed a big deal as a podcaster. He's trying to
be taking more series as a broadcaster. I don't think
he's going out there during a big game and during
a big broadcast live booze and I don't think that's happening.
But you know what, Rich, he's a likable guy. It's

(55:27):
just a lot of Kelsey. And again, I don't want
to be a hater. It's just overexposure is a real thing,
and we have Kelsey fatigue and It's it's true, all.

Speaker 8 (55:37):
Right, A big, big announcement in the sports world, in
the news world, in our world.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
WOLJH bombs no more.

Speaker 8 (55:44):
I know you guys. Adrian Wolfjanowskius, I know right, has
announced his retirement from ESPN to become the general manager
of his alma mater, Saint Bonaventure, their men's basketball team,
apparently walking away from roughly a twenty million dollars salary,
which is insane. He's known for being the go to

(56:06):
voice for NBA breaking news as you know, spanning his
career at ESPN, YA Sports and the record so far
too people in contention to UH to replace him. I
know McAfee's trying to get his hand behind UH. Shams
Sharania shumsh Yeah, and Chris Haynes is Shams. And Chris
Hanes is also another person in contention. Midbeaker major.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
I think it's major when you're talking twenty million dollars
in opportunity for someone else to be that guy. Look,
we worked at ESPN. They sweated this guy so hard.
I remember see him in the hallways that it's like
what people like.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Everything he said was gospel and he got his phone.
Who's texting Lebron And again if you're not familiar, he's
like the chefter to the NBA.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
He was the guy that had the school.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
You know, if a Woes bomb was dropped, you knew
it was legit. Like this guy was the guy in baseball.
I guess that's like what Jeff passed and nowadays, I
don't know, there's always somebody, but he was the dude
before it opens it up for somebody else, before it
was Jeff passion. It was uh like a Tim Kirch
oar buster, only he's that guy for the NBA shams.

(57:13):
I don't know who they guy to take over is.
But I'm more shocked by you're telling me he made
twenty million dollars. That seems like ridiculous.

Speaker 8 (57:21):
I don't know if that was part of a contract
negotiation to keep him or if that was his current salary,
but that's what they're saying, that he walked away from
twenty million.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
That's insane, but I believe. I believe it the way
they respected him at ESPN.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Did you would have told me two.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
To five million, I would have been like, oh wow.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
Not only let on social media and on television, like
in real life they rolled out.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
The red carpet's w Disney World tickets are so expensive.
Good for him though, congrats man. All right, we'll stick
with ESPN for a minute. One person you may never
see the booth on Monday Night Football. Stephen A.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Smith, the ESPN host.

Speaker 8 (57:57):
Has apparently been eyeing a spot on the Monday Night
Football crew, but a source within the company says the
rest of the crew do not want him. They reveal
that members of the show are concerned with his football
knowledge as well as his attitude, saying he's not a
team player, which is a huge red flag. And the
workers talk to each other. They absolutely dislike him, don't
want to deal with him. He just wants to take

(58:17):
all the attention into spotlight for himself. It's a little tea.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Bubbling up at ESPN. Midweker major, very major story.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
I think he's, you know, one of the best, but
he's the best at what he does. I don't think
he plays well in that situation at all.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
I think steven A is great where he is.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
I agree, it'd be too much attention on steven A,
not on the game and everyone else.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
You guys talk about Kelsey fatigue. This would be steven
A fatigue everything. I'm I'm a fan of what he does.
I respect steven as he's entertaining. He's entertaining, But in
the in his world a first take and then his
podcast when he does when he does fighting, or when
he does UFC or football or other sports, I don't

(59:00):
seem to enjoy his brand as much, I guess.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
And when he gets too in depth, I think he
gets exposed from time to time, Like he was talking
baseball recently and he got the whole Yankees line up wrong,
and it's like, I don't know. I love what stephen
A does. He's great at what he does. Yeah, that's
not any hate. What'soway truther to be like?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Asking us to do something more serious, we'd be exposed
because we're not, like, you know, we're not woesh essentially, right.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Yeah, so thank you. It's funny.

Speaker 8 (59:28):
Yeah, of course, this I thought was a funny story. Actually,
you know what, I'll get to that in a second.
Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight just under two months away,
and Tyson revealed the current state of his health that
could be a little bit concerning. In an interview with
USA Today's Sports, Tyson revealed that he's legitimately having trouble
like moving around, getting around and walking. He said, it's

(59:49):
hard to walk right now, but two months from now,
I'm going to be perfect. As you know, the fight
was already postponed from July due to some stomach issues
that he was having, so he plans to push through
for this been doing stems and electric stimulation therapy to
speed up recovery. He went on to say how he's
a man and wants to go out there and expose
himself to risk. Quote, sometimes I just want to see

(01:00:10):
who I really am. I want to see what I'm
really made of. So hopefully we'll see that on November fifteenth,
midweek or major.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Ah, it's major. I mean, so much is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
On the line here, so many people, millions of people
worldwide excited about this fight. They were at the Dallas
Cowboy game, you know, face to face. I believe the
quote was my DoD th dirt. I believe he said
his tootsi's hurt. And we've seen Mike a few times,
we've interviewed him. He always wears those old guy oversized
shoes like it looks like he wears orthopedic shoes. I
think he does have footage shoes. Man, I'm not I'm

(01:00:40):
not even joking, but the gout he's always wearing like
giant Nike monarchs, like, he definitely has some foot thing
going on.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
Yeah, go bad. That's that's major and it's really sad
to me. You don't want any disadvantage for Tyson.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Yeah, do you want to hear the childhood boxing hero
Mike Tyson is having trouble getting around when he's out
to get in the ring, whether by the young rip
Jake Paul.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Yeah, exactly. You don't want to see that happen.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
Then again, we did talk to Jim Lampley over the
weekend in Vegas, and Jim Lampley seemed very confident and
adamant that Mike Tyson could win this fight.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:01:16):
Yeah, I don't like this news. So it's major because
it's a big fight and we all brew up loving
Mike Tyson.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Yeah, I can throw in one more rich.

Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
I know, well, prior to this weekend that you said quote,
I believe the Saints are trash. Yeah, this past weekend,
I still one fad on TikTok. Notice a pattern that
might bode well for the Saints.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
This year.

Speaker 8 (01:01:37):
Apparently electioneer Derek Carr is unstoppable and dominant. So TikTok
user Finesse Wess pointed out cars stats in twenty sixteen,
twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four, and this video went
on to rack up millions of views. In twenty sixteen,
which is a third year in the league, was apparently
the best season, as he went twelve and three with
the Raiders before getting injured. In twenty twenty, had the

(01:01:59):
high his passer rating of his career with one oh
one point four, and after two games this season already
he has the highest completion rating, percentage and yards per
attempt of his career so far. Damn So Derek Carr
at election year might be someone to bet on.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Minute the car. I think it's a mid coincid dance.
One of the song Coincid Dance. What a coincidence. I
think it's major to see what he's doing. I think
it's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:02:27):
I think he's lighting it up, like we keep dropping
the stat he's scored on every possession so far. You
can't debate that he's having a great season.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
But coincidentance, Yeah, I'm gonna say coincidence.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
But then again. Derek Carr might be in that category
of Baker and Sam Darnold of guys that we sort
of rode off at oh not so fast. Good for him, man, Well,
thank you, Spotty, you guys are dude, and yours Dan
Bayer d B for an update.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
What's up, guys.

Speaker 7 (01:02:53):
The Milwaukee Brewers are NL Central champions and they didn't
have to do anything today. They just got to sit
back and watch the A's do their dirty work. Oakland
topped the Cubs five to three at Wrigley
