Speaker 2 (00:09):
Find your local station for Comedo Rich at Fox Sports

the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. Enjoy today, because you'll
have my full attention because the next two days the
Mets Phillies are on at two oh eight West Coast
Totts five o'clock on the East Side.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
When I say we saw some great baseball, I mean it,
and your Mets are a huge part of that. They
are a team. They're not lucky to be there, they
deserve to be there. They're battling the Phillies. What a rivalry.
Two great rivalries, Melly's and Melli's. Mets Phillies, I call
them Mellies. The Melly I call it the Melle rivalry.
You can roll that. And of course Danny g My goodness,
(00:54):
Manny Machado's so punishable. The Dodgers Padres. I don't have
a nickname for that rivalry, but it's growing, it's building,
and I'm loving it. The Doddres, the Doddre rivalry good.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, I thought the coolest moments from the weekend. There
were so many. We're gonna go over the things that
made you go hmm. But I have to say when
Profar toyed with everyone and made it seem.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Like, oh, I missed it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Then he's like Nanny, Nanni, poo poony and he starts
moon walking backwards looking at the Dodgers fans, and he
robbed Mookie Bets of a home run that was playoff baseball.
You need more of that type of stuff and you
will get people involved.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And by the way, Mooki Bets needed that. He's not
hitting too well in the postseason. That could have been
the streak breaker. A nice home run for the Dodgers
for him and a nice tone setter and robbed in
front of the fans. What a cat.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The best part about that, I mean Danny's like there
was no group part of that. The best part about
that was the announcer was right. I think it was
Joe Davis who's calling your games, which yeah, makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Feels dirty too because he's unbiased calling for Fox for
both teams, so he's like super excited for the Padres
and you know what I've.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Thoughts about this that we've touched up before. But let
me write this down be the announcer game. Something's going
on here. But Joe Davis was saying every stadium should
have a low outfield wall like that because every play
would be somewhat I.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Don't think the fans knew that they could like smack
his glove and push him if he goes into the
breast stands.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Right in you. It's it's the fear of being Steve Bartman.
So everyone just backs on. I'm not getting involved. I
don't know if Dan Byer saw it. In Milliawauk when
Pete A.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Lonzo dropped that pop up, there are people saying, like,
how come no one pointed this out? There was a
fan that pushed that screen and sort of I guess
you would say, gotten his visuals? Yeah, no, for sure,
if you can, if you could interfere with the player
and he's in the crowd, do it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah. But pro far, like many players in this moment
have said, like they've dreamed about these moments. He said
the reason he was so pumped is because he thought
he'd never get that opportunity. You know, he doesn't normally
play the outfield and get those opportunities to snag one
in the playoffs. The way he did that was an
incredible moment.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I think it's also pretty telling that the fans are like,
all right, I'm not going to get thrown out of
this game in the first inning with these great seats
that we have, Like, right, but later on in the
game is fine after we've taken in a while.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But there's no way I'm gonna get kicked out right, Yeah,
we'll get through that later. For throwing stuff, Yeah, yeah,
throwing stuff in the field, and that was good, hold
off until midway through outs. I'm not going to do
this in the first though. That's a stupid, real exciting
baseball man. It makes me happy as a baseball fan
to see that.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I know sometimes you gotta wait till the postseason for
things to fire up. But nothing better. Some really great excitement,
some great games. And it would have been even more
exciting had the announcers brought more excitement.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, could talk about that real quick, and then we'll
move on. I want to get to a lot of
football from the weekend. Even in college. I mean, people
are dragging goalposts for miles dumping them in rivers. Congrats
to Vanderbilt beating Alabama.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
By the way, I hope you had a da Go
Pavia vapto loco from Vanderbilt sort of weekend on on this.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So we'll get to college football, we'll get to NFL.
But one thing about baseball, and we've talked about this
before briefly, so let me just touch on it once again.
Why do we love football in the postseason? As far
as how the games break down, there's a sense of familiarity.
(04:26):
A big CBS AFC game. You know you're getting Jim Nansen,
Tony Romo, NBC, you know you're getting Tariko and Collinsworth. Fox,
you got Burke Cart and now Tom Brady last year
Olsen Monday Night.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
By the way, Amen, tom Brady commercials promoting that he's
calling the game. Not many announcers or broadcasters get their
own commercial like you're tuning in to watch now that broadcast.
When the difference of Tom Brady, when you spend three
hundred million dollars on the guy's contract, foxes like we're
getting and by the way, we get our money. Those
Fox commercials are fantastic. They allude to I mean, he
(04:59):
could retire and get fat on the beach drinking Margarita's.
But he's Tom freaking Brady, and he's putting that effort
in and he's taken on his career. Now. The commercials
are great. So my takeaway is a football and basketball,
they have the broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Crews you know will be there for the big games.
Baseball is a one hundred and sixty two day, six.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Plus month grind. You have the familiar voices, whether it's
Danny g here and Joe Davis or Cavino here and
Michael k or me here and Gary Cohen, Gary keithan Ron.
You get used to your own booth.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Some booths are way better than others, but regardless of
who's the best, it's like chicken soup when you're sick.
It's like it's like that you know burger at the
place in your hometown. It's there's something comfortable about it.
When you get to the postseason and you're mixed mashing announcers,
it takes away from otherwise ridiculously exciting baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You get that on the radio side, fortunately right, but
you lose it on the TV side. As a broadcaster
we notice it, but as a casual fan. You notice
it because social media destroyed Bob Costas over the weekend.
I feel bad even saying that because I respect him
as a sports legend, but he's not the Yankees guy.
Not only was it off, his calls were off, but
(06:24):
the sound mix was off. Every time they talked, it
drowned out the crowd and you barely heard it, and
again took away from the overall excitement that we were
all watching whatever. The Dodgers padres on. I believe that
FS one right, yeah, and the Mets Phillies run Fox.
They had their sound right now. I'm not saying that
because run Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We have no affiliation with Fox BASEFIST one now, Yeah,
they had the sound mix right, TBS. They did not
Bob Costas and Ron Darling. Something was off with the mix. Well,
you're so noticeable.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It sounded dead, Crickets radio silence, and meanwhile you see
the crowd cheering because the Yankees just scored or a
home run was hit, and you hear them talking over it.
It rounded out all the crowd noise. It was bad.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You can hate the Yankees, but let there be no confusion.
We all know Yankee Stadium in October is a loud
place and that broadcast stunk.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It really did, and it didn't help put it that way.
The game itself is what carried the excitement.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So I've said it before, and I saw a great
piece in Sports Illustrated about how could we incorporate local
broadcasters into the playoffs, because guess what, you don't want
Michael k calling another game he should be calling the
Yankees game. Joe Davis, luckily in Duye lined up. He
got the Dodgers game. So that was a little sound
(07:44):
of comfort for Dodgers fans in West Coast Baseball comfort.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Rich a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But then you have to hear him screaming and shouting
praises for the Padres. So it's strange anyways, right.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Right, there's more to it. How about knowledgeable? Right? They
follow that team the whole year, so they're more there,
more knowledgeable, and you're mixing these dudes up calling for
teams they don't normally call for. It's weird. He's ready
to hear Ron Darling, you know, calling a Yankees game
when he should be calling the Mets games.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
As simple as that, Rich you said last week, put
a Padres guy next to Joe Davis and let him
scream about the Padres.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's my answer. And by the way, that's not to
say they're not capable, Rich, but you're not getting the
same quality there that you could have been getting. I
agree with you. Ron Darling is great, but you know
where he's great with Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen call
on the Mets. I think he's great regardless, but he's
even better when he's calling the Mets.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That's that's fair, right. Michael kay seemed out of place
not calling a Yankees game. In fact, there was social
media hate everywhere. But the simple point is we want
to hear familiar voices in baseball. For some reason, it's
a great radio and great TV sport as far as
broadcasters being a part of your daily life, every it's
the only sport where every team has their own guy.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Every other sports is not. Well, some great baseball, some
great football, which we're gonna get to. Things that made
you go home. We do it every week. Week five
made us go hmm. But Rich, the birthday boy, you
gotta tell us about the worst two minutes of your weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So when it comes to the weekend of baseball and football,
and again we're gonna take your phone calls. Things that
made you go, hmmm, Week five of the NFL and
some baseball will throw it all together. There were two minutes.
You know me, I have the Big Game TV, as
we point out, what gets the big screen, right, Rich
has two TVs. And by the way, did you see
(09:34):
we hit our solar power parlay for the second week
in a row.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Three for three parlay. Congrats where if we're feeling it,
we're in the zone. Now I have the Mets and
the forty nine ers. That was the crowd noise from
the Yankee game the other day. Yeah, that's all you heard.
And the game winning line drive playvor tours and the
Yankees take the league and chishm scores. Yay, good job,
(10:02):
the Yankees take the lead. I think what Bob Costas
his call was even weak, like he would have scored
anyway the ball, but the ball got by him. Man,
what he said? Yankees up six to five. Meanwhile, justism
almost knocked the Empire over. Exciting play man. Yeah, so
you know it, as Rich credit to the games because
they were exciting were Yeah, no, no doubt. But I
(10:25):
know as I was in a unique scenario. But this
is just really funny because I'm not a big birthday guy,
but today's my birthday. So yesterday I was like, Hey,
he's a birthday guy.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Would it be a nice little treat if the forty
nine ers and Mets who were playing side by side
of my TV.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He doesn't mean you're not a big birthday guy. Yeah,
you don't want day guy. He actually he doesn't want
the attention. Right, it's my birthday. And meanwhile, the other
three hundred and sixty four days of the year, the
guy's lighting his farts on fire because he wants attention.
But today is birthday. Hits. Oh, mister humble guy, don't
make a big deal about my birthday. Such an attention
seeking guy. I don't dispute that every other day of
(11:01):
the year except for the one day that you should
be getting it. I just feel like I always associated
people that made a big deal about their birthdays as
women or children. Yeah, because they don't want it every
single day like you do. I understanding on social media women. Davis,
the biggest attention seeker of anyone I ever met, got
into radio not because he likes sports, not because he
(11:22):
likes music, because he likes attention self admitted the one
day where it's understood that he gets attention his birthday,
he doesn't want. Yeah, I just think it's like a girly,
like a child move like a twelve year old girl
to be like my birthday, Like what do I care?
It's my birthday? You know, you know what? I want
my because it's money easy? Is it? Because it's too easy?
Do you think that's it? Like it's just I like
to work? Yeah like that? Yeah, Like does that why?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It's just like it's like the automatic like you're like,
you know, this really doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
This is like it's like a bid money.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, you know what, dam Bay, you just dissected my
personality in two minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I didn't earn it.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I I feel like the other day is I try
to earn the laugh. I try to earn the phone call,
they text, the tweet, like the feedback we get.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I want to earn it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I don't like like the fact that I have thousands
of like notifications on social media that I have to
now be.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Like, it's just a symbol that your youth is slipping. Everybody,
not just you. It's just that that yearly reminder that
you're getting older. I just don't like that. And I
also maybe don't like that I'm a mid forties now, Yeah, anyway,
maybe that has something so But anyway, I'm not a
big birthday guy, but I did say, would it be
a nice little birthday treat if the Niners and the
Mets both got a w On the Sunday before my birthday?
(12:32):
I have the TV's on.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
At the same time, I'm switching back and forth between
the volume Niners, Cardinals, Mets, Phillies and what's that book
you read as a kid.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Somebody's no good, very bad day, Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good,
very bad day.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That Rich Davis's awful two minutes? Can we just do
that instead? And it has nothing to do with me
in the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That's not what she said. The Rich Dave is very
bad two minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I don't love if this dawned on anyone except me,
because it shouldn't, because who cares. But within a two
minute period, the forty nine Ers lost and the Mets
gave up the game winning hit to the Phillies. So
while I have both games on, I'm like, come on,
but when I tell you no joke within two minutes
on the left TV, Brock pretty interception games over ah,
(13:18):
son of a. Then I look to the right TV.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'm like, all right, well six six, maybe the Mets
could and Castianto. So I'm like, can you son something
literally within I bet you if you look at the
time stamp switch, you don't need to be that boring
to go do that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
But if you did, I guarantee you it's within two minutes.
Because I tact, I turned to my wife's cry no.
I turned to my wife, and I'm like, yeah, that
was probably, like, like really at the worst two minutes
of sports and a long time for me, Like my
football team and my baseball team both lost important games
within a minute of each other. Yeah winning Honestly, that's
(13:52):
when I did think of you, Rich and I did think,
you know, which is onto something with that extra TV,
because I felt like I hated the back and forth
of my phone own in the TV right trying to
watch all the games, trying to watch baseball and football.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
So I thought of you in that moment. Well, I've
done is just the worst Walmart and there's no sponsorship
for them. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You could get it anywhere, but Walmart right now has
a Roku fifty inch TV for one eighty nine thirty
dollars TV stand for like two hundred bucks. I wheel
in the fifty inch TV every Sunday gives you an
extra look.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Why not for that for that one game? Throw it
in the guest bedroom, thrown in your kids are in whatever,
just it's it makes sense. But I think the best
setup is if you have a guest bedroom. It goes
in like the guest bedroom when you're not using it,
and then wheel it out when you are. Yeah, there
you go. But it did spur a lot of thoughts,
(14:46):
even though both of my team's lost.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Which loss bothered me more, and that was the forty
nine ers because the Mets they should have lost Game one.
Wheeler was dealing. The Phillies made a big mistake by
taking him out of the game. They should never have
taken Zach Wheeler out of that game, agreed, So you
could almost argue the Mets stole Game one and probably
should have won Game two. So Julie Philadelphia going back
(15:11):
to Queen's tied one one much like the Dodgers, Danny,
you dropped one at home, but one one who cares right,
neuc now it's a best of three.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, Otanni looked like Superman in game one and then
went back to Clark Kent game two. He got big
time by his childhood hero, you Darvish his mind. You
Darvish is still the guy, and it's like his Dwight
goodin Yeah he was show Hay's daddy yesterday. He really
was in a best of five or seven one to one.
(15:39):
It's almost like alright, it's almost like a push. Nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Now it's a best of three instead of a best
of five. Maybe your Yankees jump out two. Well today
we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But the forty nine Ers now have lost a second
game to an inferior team when they were up big
and they just let it slip away. There's something about
the Niners team this year. You could say, whoa Caffrey. No,
they have his inability to step on the throat of
an opponent when they're down, like twenty three to ten,
(16:09):
put the bat of their misery, do something. The Niners
let these teams hang around, make a final quarter, fourth
quarter mistake they know finish, the team rams and now
are yeah dB. You could argue that the forty nine
Ers could and should very well be four and one.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Kyler Murray played a pretty good game too, though, Man,
he looked quick against your defense. They were an anthet.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They were a Mason fumble, and if you go back
to the Rams game, a Ronnie Bell opened drop, there
are two plays away from easily being four and one
games they had control of.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, if some bots in Indian nuts, yeah, I mean
it's I'd say it flippantly, but it's true because those
things didn't happen to the forty nine ers previously, because
they were maybe up ten in those games instead of
up six without a kicker, or or you know the
scenario that then ended up playing out yesterday. I am
curious from your perspective because I was on the air
during that that those games, because the forty nine ers
(17:03):
had their kicking situation without Jake Moody, were you surprised
when the Cardinals went for two to get within two
at that time? And the reason that I'm asking is
because two reasons. Number one, there's been a trend in
the NFL where you will see this teams going for
two in case they may need it later on, and
you have that opportunity. But it's usually a two touchdown game.
(17:26):
Here it was a difference between a field goal, like
if they don't make it for two, they have to
score a touchdown instead of it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It was wild. They were you know, ballsy move paid
off for them, Yes, and it was.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
And I thought it was because the Niners didn't have
their kicker, because Moody wasn't available where they knew that
San Francisco was not going to be able to really
kick anything. They would have to score a touchdown to
really put any more points on the board, so they
wanted to keep that two point edge because that was
eleven minutes left. And I thought that there was such
a crucial decision in the game. And when I'm on
(17:58):
the air, I'm reacting live to it, and then I
think about it, I'm like, well, Jesus, that game went
to overtime. The nine just really would have been screwed
because they would have been able to have a kicker
to kick a field goal.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Things that made you go hmm, things that make you go,
things that make your goal.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
When you have a game like Joe Burrow did and
you're trying to dig yourself back into the season and
you lose a close ot game, like.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That on a bad handle snap. It was really a
bad snap, bad hand. Oh, it's just it's, you know,
frustrating for them. Yeah, oh that was horrible five space too.
He's just like five touchdowns almost four hundred yards. What
more could Joe Burrow have done? And to me, I
(18:48):
get it, it's still early, but one in four means
a three game winning streak just brings you back to
five hundred. Like now you're digging. Now you're now you
just didn't you just said it? Did You see how
honest he was after the game talking about how this
team is just not ready. They're not ready. He said,
they're not a super Bowl caliber team, very honest about it.
He looked frustrated. He did everything like you said he could,
(19:11):
and they should have had that game, but the Ravens
pulled it out. I mean he played big two. Henry's
run at the end put him in position.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
When row Case has big plays like that and Joe
Burrow's looking that way, you can't give up a forty
plus spot and lose.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I was just going to bring up about Jamar Chase
his tenth reception touchdown for what was it sixty yards
or more? He beat Odell Beckham Junior's record before the
or at the age of twenty five or under, and
I was like, man, he should have paid him while
they could have.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I mean, they're still going to pay.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Him, but you know, it's just that was one of
my observations that I fell for Joe Burrow. Like, I mean, listen,
the guy's making a ton of money. He's a young,
successful guy. But you got to feel for him because
he laid it all out there.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I know some people are overrated.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I like Joe Burrow, and I thought, you know, it's
nice when there's more competition at the division. I feel like,
now we're we're seeing we're seeing the Bengals fall.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, what are your thoughts on passion levels versus
showing up your team? In some ways, I don't think
that was Joe Burrow's intent, but you did noticeably see
that he was frustrated with how it panned out. You
saw his body language, you saw his reaction, you saw
his expression toward the field goal mishap. I don't know
(20:27):
any ce Aaron Rodgers his body language, you know what
I mean? Like you you understand it, but do you
do you not want to show up your team in
that way, you took the words out of my mouth.
Aaron Rodgers was the first person to come to mind
where even back to his Green Bay days, he's you
know what are I always say in baseball you never
want to see the pitcher like throw his hands up
(20:48):
or get all animated like you're showing up here. I
was just gonna say that is his sport for sport,
is it different for baseball football? Aaron Rodgers is the
league leader in eye rolls. In eye rolls, and yeah,
looking frustrated, especially this season, you saw that a little
bit understandably, so not criticism, just observation made me go hmmm.
With Joe Burrow and the Bengals and his honesty at
(21:11):
the end of the game, which is again refreshing at
the same time, I hate all the bs at a
postgame conference, but he straight upset This team is not ready,
you know, Danny. Let me ask you as we get
we got some Burrow sound. We're going to play a second.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
If you're Aaron Rodgers, is that emotion or is that
shown up your team? Because I say he is the
league leader of eye rolling, Like he's not flailing his arms,
he's not visual, but that like closing your eyes. You
know you're frustrating with your kids. You know when you're
frustrated with your wife or kids, and you can I
tell you why it just like close your eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I know you asked, Danny, but before I got a
pee brain right now, so before I forget, I just
think as the leader. We're talking about leaders of the team,
like you want to look to those guys as the
guys who were cool under pressure, who don't waiver, unflappable
even when times are tough. They're going to lead you
out of that hole. And when you see they're frustrated
(22:05):
and you see their body language and their expressions and
it's not positive, that doesn't do anything for the team
to rally behind.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
This was exactly our conversation about Devonte Adams at the
start of last week. Remember, especially with leaders like that, Yeah,
you want to be unflappable as much as possible. I
know a lot of guys are gladiators and warriors and
some of the times you can't help the way a
camera might catch you look. But sure, when it's constant
and that's just seems to be your personality. Yeah, it's man,
(22:36):
it's starting to get old.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
And think about it. Rich You took the words right
out of my mouth. I was thinking about it. There's
like an unwritten rule. If someone's pitching in baseball and
someone makes an error behind them, you never see the pitcher,
or when you do, it's a big deal because you're
showing up your team. If you look frustrated they didn't
play behind you, you're showing up your team. But it
seems like in football I'm seeing a bit of a
(22:58):
different reaction. In the past few weeks.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
A couple of months ago, the Mets were playing the
A's and I specifically remember Ron Darling talked about this
because he played for both teams. He was calling the
pitcher on the A's bush league because he was showing
emotion on an error, and Ron's like, you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You know, you don't do that. But you see that
with Rodgers, so that w bro. You see that in
other situations. I'm just using them as examples. I don't
think it's a good look, maybe because I'm a baseball
fan and that's my thinking and that's bleeding over into football.
But I also think these are the guys leading their offense,
leading the team, and I'll give you as. It's a
(23:37):
real life example. Rich. When I was a kid, you know,
I look up to my let's say, my mom. If
I was in a situation I saw mom look scared.
Guess what, I was scared. But if I saw that
mom was cool because dad was out at work. But
if mom was cool, then I had nothing to worry about.
These guys look up to, especially in Aaron Rodgers, and
he's acting like that, How do you feel confident about winning? Yeah?
(24:00):
You know That's why I think it matters. Are they human?
Am I mad adam now? But I think they should
be better than that.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I saw a headline that said Aaron Rodgers and the
Jets need Davante Adams immediately. Would that calm both or
either of them down? Or would that be I think
a really bad mixture. If the Jets still continue to lose,
it would.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Give the Jets like a momentary glimmer of like we're
going to turn it around and then then we'll see,
speaking of DeVonta Adams, things that made you go hmm,
I kept checking on my phone, Danny.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I gotta be honest.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I didn't have my closest eye on some of the
Lake games because I was watching baseball and football that
it was tough. When the Raiders and Broncos were ten ten,
I was like, oh, this could be a battle.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
What happened from that point on? Shoot threw a pick
that was just gonna say he got level too man. Yeah.
I At first they threw a flag on it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yes, he got grabbed and thrown down, and you could
have called it holding. They decided to pick the flag up.
It was a one hundred yard inner pick six. It
was a one hundred yard pick six, rich certain and
it was such a bad overthrow by Minshew. And up
until that point, Minshew had played a great game early
(25:11):
early on. Raiders came out first couple of series, they
looked great, their defense looked great, and then it all
fell apart after that one hundred yard pick six.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Those are growing pains though, you know it should have
been seventeen to three instead ten to ten. And then
it was like the Broncos defense settled in. You saw
Jordan Love do the same thing like, oh why did
he throw that? That's sort of what Minshew did in
that moment. Things that made you go home. Could be
in baseball, could be in football, could be in anything.
You observed over the week and could be in life supermarket.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I thought, up into that point the highlights I had
seen Danny the Raiders looked composed. In fact, Max Crosby
was jokingly barking at bow Nicks, being like.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yo, boy, can't hear Yeah, he's having a game. He
was having a game, having some fun, and then.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
He was in hours had his first touchdown at the
start of the game. I was like, what a weekend,
Tawny yesterday, Bowers today, and then sports is crazy like that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
It can just it could just turn on a dime.
Like I said, I was at the two TVs the
forty nine ers, A Mets are winning. It's not my fingers.
They both lost. Hey, before we get too far off
of Burrow and Rogers, something else I observed about Aaron Rodgers. Again,
you appreciate his honesty, but at the same time you're like, oh, man,
I don't know if I want to hear that. At
(26:26):
the post game, they asked him about some of the
hits he took, because you saw he looked like he
was in pain a few times, right, and anything Aaron
Rodgers related you consider. I mean, I can't be the
only one that saw that one hit Aaron Rodgers done
clear over, No he died? What happened? And then he's like, ah,
but they asked him about, Hey, did you hear any noise?
(26:47):
He goes, I heard lots of something along the lines
if he heard lots of noises as he went down,
it's like did he rip ass? Did other bones break? Like?
What was did he hear something crack? What did he hear?
But what I think is, yeah, either he had an
accident in his pants or like, man, it's just advertising
(27:08):
that he's too old for this. And I don't think
you want to hear that from your starting quarterback. I
just don't. It's no shock that he's getting older now.
I mean it's no shock, but man, you waited another
year for that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You know we're gonna take all your feedback. Let's get
to all the phones. Thank you guys for hitting us
up eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox Welcome back
to Rich Davis's birthday celebration. Spectacular, spectacular. Nobody more pumped
about their birthday than Rich Davis.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
He's a birthday guy. He is such a birthday birthday
What do you want? It's a celebration, not a birthday guy.
Do you want me to give you an old fashioned,
old fashion who began Ben Agan's Happy Birthday song? Do
you want me to give you to Ari Rang Poppy Son,
It's your birthday, poppy Son, It's your birthday celebration song.
Me again, Happy birthday to Rich Davis at Rich Davis
(28:00):
at Covino and Rich Danny G's on the phone super
producing at eight seven seven ninety nine, O Fox Iowa
see him on the ones and Tuesdaan Byer Spotty is
also here. Thank you guys for hanging with us. Hope
you had a great weekend. Now, Rich, before we continue
with things that made you go hmm, yeah, buddy, there
were two quarterbacks in particular. They're not the only ones,
but high profile qbs that people look for leadership look
(28:22):
up to, and that's Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow, and
they both visibly looked annoyed or rattled or upset veterans.
Annoyed was a good theme of this weekend, right, So
what did they have to say about that at the
press conferences over the weekend? Right here? Joe Burrow first, Oh,
let's hear Burrow. We're not a championship level team, right,
now who we're not.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
You know, I like to think that, you know, we'll
come back and improve throughout the season to get to
that point, but right now we are not, and we
have to get better.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You know. I don't want to talk out of both
sides of our mouth, but one of our biggest criticisms
sometimes is players not being honest. So hey, it's honest,
but it's like, oh wow, okay, he was visibly upset, understandably,
dude bald his ass off three hundred and ninety two
yards five tuddies and they lose it in the end.
(29:17):
Let's go to all the phone calls and then I
know you have more thoughts in set of why well
Aaron Rodgers too? Oh you want to hear Aaron. I'm sorry,
let's hear Aaron.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
It's blowing my standard.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
I just found out I've never thrown two ficks in
the first quarter before, So that's the first. One of
us costs obviously seven, and the other you know, could
have cost three. So in a game where you lose
by six, you know, plays like that are exponentially highlighted.
So three turnos for me is definitely out of character.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
And I'm disappointed and he spoke like an old guy
at the end of the game, and granted he may
be on the field, but I don't think you ever
advertised that. I just I just don't. I mean, I
thought it was over the top. And he offered the
reporters were theirs originals. Yeah, he's the guy. I think
I got him. Chick Lit's gimps? Where let Jack perhaps anywine?
Let's say what sabby to Eric in Arizona?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (30:06):
Eric, Hey, what's going on? Boys? Happy birthday? Dickie?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Thanks man? What's what made you go this weekend?
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Vikings man five and oh going into the bye weekend,
it's still they're not pulling the kind of respect they should.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I agree with you, man, they're not.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
So you know with the free agent pickups, say the
Van Ginkel and Gilmour who saved the game for us,
you know, when they're letting off the gas offensively, defense
is picking it up for us to win games. So
just looking for a little more respect for that five
and zero team.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Man's some respect on my name? You know, that's a
great question. What's it going to take? Well, because everybody's yeah,
maybe like eight weeks in which we've kind of established
on our show. Yeah, but but they're they're for real.
And you know what, Eric, I appreciate the call. I
look at this way. Man.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We all make our right and wrong predictions. I said
in the beginning of the year, and this is not
a I told you so. I'm never that type of guy.
But I was refused as to why everyone thought Minnesota
was just gonna be like, oh, bottom feet er of
that division.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I was fascinated me. Yeah, you I remember, if you remember,
Sam was like Sam Darnold, I'm the only Sam around here.
And I was like, did they got justin Jefferson, they
got weapons, have a good defense? Yeah, they were out
on a limb, and Sam argued with me, they're well coached.
I was.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I was shocked at because everyone was so high on
Jordan Love, Caleb Williams joining the Bears, and the Lions
were in the NFC Championship. Everyone just discounted the Vikings
and said, yeah, they'll be like five and twelve.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
And I remember thinking, I don't know why you think that.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
You know, Aaron Jones did get hurt and they're crossing
their fingers hoping it's not serious.
Speaker 10 (31:39):
Yeah, but you know what, five and all pretty good.
Start five and twelve. Now they go into twelve game
losing streak. You got that, anything that happened. But let's say,
what's up to Tom and Kentucky?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Tommy, what's up about heyn?
Speaker 11 (31:52):
Happy birthday? So my things that make me go home
are the Buffalo Bills fight all the way back and
then they get your ball at the three yard line
and throw the ball three times. Will allow the Houston
Texans to come back, kind of making it a pattern
for Sean McDermott and definitely left me shaking my.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Head Tom that decision making.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
There are times when you're on your couch and you're like, well,
the coaches must know something I don't know. There are
times the coaches just are are mismanaging the clock and.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You're like, what are you doing? Knucklehoods, Like what are
you doing in this moment? Seriously? You know Texans gamp
position for a field goal, they pull one out. When
I was watching that game, though, I'm like, man, we're
watching two great young quarterbacks. Yeah. Did you see how
hard Josh Allen hit his head? Yeah? I did, no doubt.
Twenty three to twenty. Props to the Texans on that way.
(32:43):
Let me let me give you. I'm gonna list five quickies.
Here we go. Go ahead. Packers sneaking by the Rams, and
they're not peaking by any means. And they're three and two,
So if you're a Packers fan, you should be happy
that they're sort of staying. They're not playing their best
football by any means, and they're over five hundred. I
think Caleb Williams also starting to come into his own
in that division. They're three and two floating a little
(33:03):
over five hundred. So you should be happy of your
Bears fan because you're starting to see him become the
guy they thought. You're seeing a confidence grow, for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I got more football observations, but one baseball one right now. Geez,
Louise John Carlos stan might be the slowest man in
Major League Baseball. It was a play where I was like,
how did he not score?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Is he the slow sky in baseball? You know, you
notice it more in the postseason. It's never really a
factor in the regular season. My goodness. But happy happy Birthday.
It's a special day. Happy happy birthday. That's why we're
here to say, hey, happy happy birthday. May all your
dreams come true. Happy, happy birthday to see you an
r tou. Yeah? Is that the Benigans' birthday son? Yeah,
(33:45):
I worked at Benicans for years before I got a
kigging radio. Hey, that's you can bring those things with
you. You don't know. Call me hungry for mazzarella sticks. Oh,
who wants a sampler? Can I get a turkeyo tool?
Yeah you can? Who wants the money? Crisco, let's go
broadcasting live from the Tireck dot Com studios, Cavino and
in after the show, more birthday cupcakes with Rich Davis.
Let me tell you we got some good baseball tonight.
(34:08):
We got it. We have a Thursday. I'm sorry Thursday.
Speaker 2 (34:10):

chime in. At eight seven, seven ninety nine out Fox,
we continue things that made you go hmm? Week five?
Can I say rich? The fact that we're heading into
(35:10):
week six already makes me say hmm, like what what? Now?
It's moving along. You know, we were kind of hard
on Aaron Rodgers. Not really though, I'm just making observations
because I'm speculating on his body language. He's talking about
bones breaking and not feeling right, and he's hearing things
in his body crack for an old guy, Flocko was
(35:32):
looking pretty insane over the weekend. You heard Dan Byer
say three hundred yards three tds. You know, let's talk
to Sharrod. He's calling about a shrod in Virginia, you're
on the Cavino in Rich show, Fox Sports Radio. What's
up Shrod?
Speaker 8 (35:45):
Going on? Happy born day to you Rich, and happy
birthday to your mother and hold no thanks man, because
you were born and she gave birth.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It's fun for today is also my mom's birthday. We
share a birthday. So look at that.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
Now.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
But so, first off, why won't he die? Shout out
to Danny g on Colt Salute Halloween. That's where the
quote came from. Halloween. Like Joe Flacco, Like, I'm looking
at his salary and I'm looking at Garnerment. I'm a
Raider fan as well. Right, I'm looking at Joe Flacco
getting four point five million dollars while miss you made
six million dollars at the signing bonus. And I say, hmmm, yeah,
(36:23):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Did every I guess we knew last year he still
had it and this year he's still playing so well. Man,
he's got that wisdom behind him. You know it's funny too, man,
is we think of these guys as so old? I
mean on the field. Yeah, in real life, I'm older
than that guy, right, like eleven years said I scramble,
Oh my god, was that a career high. Yeah they
(36:45):
were checking on it. Yeah, they were checking on it.
But again, was he thirty eight years old? We act
like in our minds like he's forty eight because it's football.
I got it. But the dude's still got some game.
What's up?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Dbate next Gen stats timed to using an hour glass
on that scramble.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
That's no, but he's playing great man it is. It
does make you say, hmm, I have so many things
that maybe go And by the way, we're spoking speaking
of your Dodgers. Who shares a birthday with me today?
Mookie Betts turns thirty two, so on his singer Tony Braxton.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
And Simon Cowell is a senior citizen sixty five. We
met Simon Cowell when he was in his forties. There's
no way you went Simon Cowell at the same age
your mouth. We met Simon Cowell when he was my age.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Anyway, A couple of things I brought up, how slow
John Carlos Stanton was running the slowest on a double
He couldn't score.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
And I'm like, not only a double, a double where
the outfielder bobbled and kicked the ball away.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
My thought was did he think there were there was
one out and he didn't take off on the pitch?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Was he not running?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
John Carlos Stanton appeared to me so slow, and Camino
immediately hit me up saying, Yo, it's not just you.
Michael Kay had to post this on the Yes Network's
Instagram page.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Well, the knee jerk reaction to the bottom of the
fourth inning is going to be that John Carlos Stanton
slowed down on the double by oswald of Cabrera. But
he didn't. If you've been watching him all year, that's
as fast as he can run. What he simply doesn't
turn base as well. He doesn't have a speed where
he can bump it up and really go for home.
That's as well as he can run. And he got
to third base and ended up being a big, big
(38:26):
maneuver because the fact the next batter, Alex Rodugo, actually
popped up in foul territories to the third basement. So
if you had a faster runner there, they score easily.
They score standing up. But the best at Stanton could
do was go to third not because he wasn't hustling,
because that's as fast as he can go.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
He is a guy that went from youngster to old
veteran like that in front of our very eyes. And
what's interesting his next step?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Bet am I safe to say he hit a dribbler
that most people you would have legged.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
This speed cost the Yankees two runs for sure. So
John Carlo, my goodness, guys, th aging right before you.
How about Yuli Guriel? You know him from the Astros
with the Wishney haircut. You know you know what I'm saying,
of course. Yeah, all of a sudden he's on the
Royals as the old veteran guy and I act like
he's one hundred and forty years old. Wait a second,
(39:15):
wasn't he just a dude? He was just a big
threat in Houston not that long ago. Now he's this
old guy on the Royals. How did that happen?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Let's say, what's up to Jerry in Lancaster, California? What's
up Jerry cat Rich? Things that made you go home?
Speaker 12 (39:30):
Happy birthday?
Speaker 13 (39:31):
Rich?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Thanks man?
Speaker 12 (39:33):
Hey, let's go mom on my My shout out to
baby goes Gos. Hugh Darbish knocking those Dodgers down yesterday,
man Otanio for four.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah, you Darbish is a big game pitcher. There's that's
a there's a few times now that I've seen him
in the postseason deliver I do want to say was
a Dodger. There was a there was an observation that
a lot.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Of times Japanese players just culturally are more composed, more disciplined,
and that's that's just that's a positive stereotype that you know,
they there seems to be a work ethic.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I believe you Darvish is a mix of Japanese and
like Iranian or something.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
But what you see is a lot of a lot
of professionalism.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
HM.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
When I saw Otani batflip on his three run home
run on Friday night?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Was that Friday night or what was that? It was
Saturday Saturday?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Said yo, he he might have the most swag of
any Japanese born baseball player.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
That's because we've never seen him in meaningful games though,
That's why I stood out. That was even more Was
that his most intense bat flip of the year that
you give a little day? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, And he's shown the animated side of himself a
few times this year, obviously when he's not up to
bat and he's just in the dugout or whatever, he's
so calm and mellow. But then in the moments like that,
he surprised people because we didn't really see him like
that when he was playing in Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
By the way, the postgame in regards to you, Darvish,
owning the Dodgers and owning show hey o Tani had
his number, it made me say hmm when all the
postgame announcers were like, we've all faced them, so we know.
I'm like, damn, how long has he been playing? I
feel like Big Poppy a Rod Jeter, like, I think
(41:20):
they've been gone a long time already. But he started
in twenty twelve. He's thirty eight years old and had
one of his best nights ever against Danny's Dodgers yesterday.
Props to you, Darvish. Let's say what's up to Clint
in Vegas? Clint? Things that made you go.
Speaker 12 (41:34):
Hmmm, hey, welcome, happy Burday brother, Thank you man.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
No worse.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
So.
Speaker 12 (41:41):
My wife, many many years ago bought me a Vernon
Davis blacked out jersey with red stitching. Yeah, two hundred
and eighty bucks.
Speaker 9 (41:51):
I call it the Black Beauty.
Speaker 8 (41:52):
Every time I wear it, they lose.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
My fault.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
It's your full loss.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Hey, you know what they brought. It brings me to
something else, Clint, let me tell you this did. Let
me let this be known because I've seen headlines today
on FS one and ESPN. How dare but listen to
my words? How dare anyone blame brock Purty? This guy
is playing his best football to date. Two interceptions, But
(42:19):
if you watch that game, you know those interceptions were
Those interceptions were a batted ball that just went in
the air, and in the last drive he got blindsided
and was hit while he was throwing. So they weren't
like bad reads. It was just too unfortunate, like ball
goes up. Yeah, you don't want those. But Brock Purty
(42:40):
is playing great football right now. He's playing his best
football ever. They're just not, as Dan Byer said earlier,
the Niners are not catching breaks where in other seasons
maybe they did catch some breaks.
Speaker 4 (42:51):
I did think that it was probably as he made
some great plays in this game.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
But I do think he'd bear some responsibility for batted balls.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
I mean, yes, some, but it's just people like when
you say two picks, I'm assuming how did you like
when Jordan Love threw it, you know, tried to throw
it away and just threw a pick six.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
I don't want to backtrack, but you are speaking about
your Niners rich or brock party in this case. Yeah,
it did make me say, Hm, they couldn't score in
the second half, Yeah, but all half they couldn't. But
there's there's that's how they lost the game.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
But do you understand there's I'm gonna there two plays
and I know you're gonna say, as Dan said, if
some butts and whatever, what.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
Did you say, ifs butts and candy and nuts?
Speaker 3 (43:29):
If some butts and candy and nuts, if some butts
were candy and nuts, we do all have a wonderful Christmas?
Speaker 1 (43:34):
There is? Is that what it is? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I know, I know there's a lot of ifs and butts.
But right now, the forty nine ers shit at two
and three. I'm not making excuses with my team. They're
not playing great. But Ronnie Bell catches that ball against
the Rams, which was a wide open couldn't be more open.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
That seals the deal. They beat the Rams.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
The forty nine Ers are within the red zone, they're
at the ten yard line and Mason fumbles a ball,
just gets it stripped because he was trying to gain
an extra yard. There's like two very clear plays that
otherwise you're looking at a four and one team, and
everyone said no, the Niners four and one.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
They had to go for it on like fourth and
twenty five because they didn't have a field goal kicker.
They threw it. Remember they threw it. They couldn't punt
from the thirty yard line, so they had to throw
this underneath pass because Arizona's like, we're just gonna defend,
and so they threw it to Kittle basically to just
pin them deep with an offensive play, not even with
a punt, but it would have been like a forty
(44:25):
eight yard or fifty yard field goal at time for Moody,
but because he was injured, they couldn't kick.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah, so the injured kicker and one play here there.
That's why I like, well, you don't love when your
team's two and three sort of stinks. The NFC is
not scared to me, my dad said earlier, we're chatting
on the way in, and he said, uh, AFC, A
lot of great teams NFC, other than the Vikings and
their defense all Richie, is there anyone that really scared
(44:52):
you in the NFC? And I was like, not really, Hi, Richies,
your father which a happy both day, And don't be
scared of the NFC.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
The Eagles year, the Eagles year when Perty got hurt.
They also were mediocre halfway through the season. But I
think this feels different, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Like this, this.
Speaker 4 (45:12):
The the the It's the literal damage of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
You wonder if it leaks in everybody's a year older.
This is something. I agree that something, as they say,
something ain't stir in.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
The Yeah, the Eagles last year, remember, Yeah, there's rumors
at the front office in Ayuk are still kind of
sour towards each other.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
At least had a decent game yesterday. I know you
guys are pumped about football, especially people with action on
the game, but it's been a pretty mid, as the
kiddo say, season so far. Unless you're a Vikings fan,
that's been a very mid season, especially when you're comparing
it to postseason baseball. The contrast is so evident to me. Again,
I'm a baseball a hardcore baseball fan, but these games
(45:53):
make football look so mid.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
This what in the early window yesterday, Covino, there were
three games going back and forth.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
That is true, that is true. But as far as
overall right, it's been so unpredictable. What you could say
is fun because it's anybody season that makes it No, Yeah,
but does it feel that way? Does it feel that
way when you have no reado on it whatsoever? And
if my team was over five hundred, I'd probably be like, yeah,
it's great. I'm a little you know, you're a little teapot,
little birthday boy. Hey, speaking of Rich's team not scoring
(46:23):
in the second half to forty nine ers, can I
just share a quick thing that made me go a
personal thing. So on Friday, and I was being a
good dad and I went to an away game to
see my daughter cheer, right, she's cheerleading in high school,
and it was an away game. And I show up
and they're like, and the school or is zero zero
And I'm like, all right, well, cool, I didn't miss anything.
(46:44):
Ten minutes later, game's over, right, and I'm like, that's it.
No one scored. The high school football game ended zero zero,
zero zero. And I'm like, do both teams equally stink?
No one had a breakaway, no one scored, no field goal,
no special team nothing, zero zero JV Defensive Battle must
(47:05):
have been one for the age. Either yeah, either the
defense on both teams are stellar or both teams just
really stink. And Melody's like that is that normal. I'm like, no,
it was horrible. I was like, maybe if you cheered
a little harder, though, they would have scored. Coaches that team. VJ. Husky, Yeah, seriously, no,
I went there. I'm like, I ran all the way
here obviously to see my kids cheer, but I still
wanted to see, like the team win or something good
(47:27):
happen zero zero Rich of Husky coached that team. The
wide receivers would have cut a couple of.
Speaker 14 (47:33):
Long time.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
Have been fifty six nothing Crown.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
And really quick fact check. Earlier, Covino, you were talking
about Darvish. Yeah, his father Iranian. You were right, I
was right, his mother Japanese.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
Yeah, you Darvish, the guy, as A Rod said yesterday,
put on a masterclass. He just had one of those
medical moments.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
He's Iranian, an Asian. So Vince McMahon stereotyped all of
him in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yes, exactly, the ultimate wrestling heel of the eighties.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Yeah, Jaden Daniels, I'm just thinking of any last minute
things that made you go, hmm, he is this year CJ.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
Stroud so far, Yeah, he's playing good.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
And like we said, the rest of that conference, the
rest of that division, the NFC East, may have taken
a little step back.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
And with new.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
Coaching, fresh young quarterbacks, and new weapons, it seems like
the Commanders got a got a vibe. Man, they're not
beating teams. They're beating teams. And Jayden Daniels you could
say circumstances, but I said, also Caleb Williams starting to
come into his own. So I think you're seeing a
lot of these young teams and young quarterbacks looking good.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
All right, let's say how to Mike and Illinois. Mike,
what's that buddy?
Speaker 12 (48:45):
Hey, guys, I just glad to be with you today.
I just wanted to say that it's an honor to
be able to share the same birth Davis.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
That happy birthday to you too, Mike. The mail you
a brand new phone. It's my two.
Speaker 12 (49:03):
Yeah sixty today and two hours before you guys come
on my look, I have the show.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
You know, you can't let that phone go when you
turn sixty, you automatically handed a jitterbug. Can someone gets this?
Got rapid radio the day he turns six.
Speaker 10 (49:20):
Well, happy sixties to him, though, happy happy sixties to
you too, rich Shut up, Come on, he's fifty five,
fifty five.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
You know my dad left me a message. What do
you bet? It starts with high riches your fire Richard.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
The whole joke is my dad starts every voicemail Danny
g the same high rich It's afire rich at your father.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
There'll be a scared of the end of.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Thanks for identifying yourself rich, he said, Hey, it's casual.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Oh you got your car. I have a great thing.
Oh you call car? Put a cards? Did he put
a twenty dollars bill in the car? Gave my car
showing a look out for your car. Call. I wrote
your check for five bucks. Happy birthday, Bud.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Now, if you want to play last one standing, Uh,
let's do this eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Some great battles rivalries this postseason so far action pack.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
Let's let's go around the room real quick. Damn Buyer's
like the Brewers are out of hate baseball. Give me
give me one player you're impressed with and one player
you hate in because in the baseball postseason you get
to know, you get to know some new players, because
let's be honest, you're not watching the AL Central as
close as maybe you'd watch the NFL or the NBA.
Anyone come to mind, Yeah I got one, I got Well,
(50:39):
it's obvious. But when you're watching to me in these
moments and you're seeing how much he means to the team,
I feel like Lindor really turned your team around.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Like he made the Mets legit. It's not like we're
really lucky to be here, Like, no, you guys are
playing behind this dude, and you guys are are magical.
I hate to say it, the Mets made me say OMG,
like several times over the weekend, Oh my god, Lindor.
I knew he was great, but to watch him in
(51:05):
this moment unbelievable. Just a great player. And Manny Machado
continues to be a hateable guy. What a what a
hateable guy?
Speaker 2 (51:13):
But you know what, you know, I pay more attention
to the Dodgers being out here in LA, even though
I'm an East Coast Baseball fan, so I know about
the Dodgers. I know what Mookie brings and Freeman and
you see Otani and it's just a beast. But watching
the Padres man Fernando Tatist Junior his swing, so you're
gonna say, Kyle Hagashioka his swing. Tatis Junior swing is
(51:34):
a thing of beauty. And Profar is also one of
these guys that you want to love to hate because
he he screwed my Mets a couple of years ago
in that wild card Yeah, and he's doing that to
your Dodgers now.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
So Profar is one of those big game players. Not
just saying this because he's a former Yankee Danny g
but watch out for Higgee. Kyle Hagashioka three home runs
in the postseason and he's the catcher for the Padres.
But he always had this reputation of having crazy pop,
so he could hurt you at any moment, and it's
it's crazy to see him delivering on a big stage
like this.
Speaker 3 (52:04):
And I really appreciate Blake Trinan, who's the Dodgers set
up slash closer. You know, ever since they got Copeck,
those two guys have kind of been trading off.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
But as far as the Padres, just to show I'm not.
Speaker 3 (52:17):
Not a hater. I I appreciate good ballplayers. How about
Jack Jackson. How do you say his last name right? Meryl?
Meryl sounds like an eighty year old guys great.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
Dge.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
In the previous years, I talked about how Cheerio on
the Brewers is a young star in the making, and
I'm trying to think of it as anyone I'm forgetting.
Oh one cool moment to show that I'm not a hater.
When Philly beat the metch yesterday, Nick Castiano's going up
to his kid, who was cheering for him in the
front row as a dad. You can't you can't be
(52:53):
like It's like, damn it. That's cool. That was a
cool moment. But considering earlier in the game, some of
the fans had turned on Castianos because he had not
come up big in some spots. So there was a
couple of booze, a couple of boo birds in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
All right, let's do this. We do it every Monday.

the Detroit Tigers, three run shots at the top of
the ninth inning. In fact, the inning isn't over, as
the Tigers now have a runner on first. But we
were scoreless for eight and there were two outs in
the top of the ninth. But Carrie Carpenter proving clutch
for the Tigers, who look to even up their divisional
(01:04:34):
series at one game apiece. It's game two again, Detroit
up on Cleveland three nothing, still playing in the top
of the ninth inning.

of that home run? Though? Like again, just proving the
point that baseball is just having so many great moments.

Only exciting now it looks as though three of the
four series now will be tied one to one.
