Hey is Coveno and Rich Fox Sports Radio, and there
he is rams legend.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Man with offensive tackle NFL hosts an analyst on Prime.
Let's welcome Andrew Whitworthday.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Dude, Okay man.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
First off, I know you're a big dude, but in person,
you're a house people need to understand.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Six foot seven beefcake. Pleasure to meet you.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hey, mister Clean, what's up man?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I brought a friend today Spring a friend day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I totally should have ft with him because he was like,
so Wentworth's He's gonna be playing mister Clean in a
Super Bowl and ago I should have said, yes.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
How do we know he's not? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We don't know, like the idea though.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah right, So, hey, man, thanks for your time, Thanks
for being here. Obvious thing out of the way when
we were getting ready this morning. I really was gonna
wear the jacket and the hoodie, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
No, that's his thing. I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So you kind of ruined it for everybody. But is
there a partnership in the works here or what? You
gotta have people reaching out to you. Yeah, that's what
I keep saying. The biggest thing I've missed out on
is I don't have a hoodie line. You know, I should.
I should have my own brand of hoodies, that's for sure.
Maybe that may. We'll work on that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You have to.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I have to.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
We got to get that done, that's for sure. Amazon.
Come on, what are we doing with wasting time? I
like that, you know, listen, it's good. I need to
get it done. It's been fun, it's you know, it's
something I always wore hoodies, being a big guy. Was
obviously a much bigger human, even bigger than I am now.
When I was playing, you know, you hate collared shirts.
Collared shirts always like sat out like I never the
two buttons, no chance, and just like you never know what,
(01:47):
there's always the buttons.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I couldn't button any buttons because my neck was so
big and my back was so big, So I mean,
you know, I just hated them, and so I got
into wearing hoodies and T shirts Like everywhere I went,
so I either wore a jacket and a T shirt
or a jacket a hoodie. And I happen to wear
a hoodie and a jacket to our first dinner at Amazon,
and they're like, you look good in that, Like would
you want to wear that for the game, like with
a suit.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I was like yeah, And it's become such a thing,
and it's a.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Thing like either people hate it they love it and
it's great.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Like people are like, dude, you're a disgrace to the
game of football.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
They're like because you have a hoodie on on TV,
which I think is just like crazy and asinine. And
then there's people who are like constant dms, please dude
the brand. I need the brand, Like I'm getting my
husband something for Christmas, or my wife loves these. I'm
gonna get a bunch because she wants me to wear them.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You know. So it's just it's awesome to see how
explosive it is.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
People either just absolutely love it hate it, and then
some people have kind of come around over the years
and they're like, hey, dude, I didn't like it at first,
but now I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, it's refreshing because we've talked for years about
how the sports world it's a bunch of dudes drinking
and hanging.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But yet in the broadcasting world of sports, suiting up
it's it's right, doesn't make sense. Like all the guys
that are watching or we're in T shirts, hoodies, just chilling.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's like like when you watch teams travel right, like
the reality is dude, like when you're like, oh man,
this team doesn't dress up like the guys who, like
I know, old schools, like you wear a suit when
you travel on the plane and land.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Like here's the truth.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
We wear T shirts and shorts and probably aren't even wearing
underwear to work on most days with flip flops. Like
we don't work that kind of job. We show up
and put on pads and play football. So like the
whole idea of us wearing business suits or any of
that is like, it's just crazy. So it is funny
like that you're almost just playing a character to show
up to the game. You don't ever dress like that
(03:29):
ever ever, But all of a sudden you put on
a suit to go, put on your pads and your jersey.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, to talk to some guy with face paint ont Yeah. Yeah,
Andrew Worth hanging with Commito and Rich.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So the transition to the broadcasting world for you, everyone
seems to love you, which is great because I wanted
to ask, do you think people and fans are more
critical of players or announcers these days?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It kind of feels like it's starting to become more
about analyst announcers like wildgo after Yeah, And so it's interesting.
I think for me it's one of those things is
that it's been fun to kind of figure it out
over the last three years, like who you kind of
feel yourself being and where you want to go with
it because there's so many lanes you could And I
think to me, you look at some guys get in
and they want to have a hot take because they
(04:12):
just want to get people to splash on, you know,
coming after them, and they love the attention and then
they don't like it. Everybody gets mad at them and
then they kind of back off a little bit and
kind of change their tune. Or other guys maybe don't
say enough, and you're like, man, I'd love you to
have something more opinionated. I think they try and find themselves.
I think for me it was like, man, I just
want to be like really good at being true to
who I am and like if whatever's coming out of
(04:33):
my mouth is like just what I feel and like
it's not about a take, it's not about like, it's
just in my emotion in that moment when I'm watching
this play, this is what I feel like. It needs
to be better, this is what I think's awesome. I
don't want to give praise to this is a guy
that I feel like is doing it the right way,
or this is somebody that feel like, man, they really
need to check themselves because I can see the problems
they're going to come down the road for them if
(04:54):
they don't do X, Y and Z and so I think,
to me, it's just if I can stay authentically me
through that whole process, that's what's most important thing.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, you don't have to question, right, Yeah, when I.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Get done, Like listen, if people like me or not,
are they like the hoodie or they like my body,
Like that's that's for them, Like they're gonna decide whether
they like me or not. But I think what they'll
appreciate is like this dude's always him. He never needs
to be a character to be himself, like he is
just him. And that's why that's what I try to stay.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Andrew Whitworth here with Cavino and Rich you played most
of your years with the Bengals, then you want with
the Rams.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
What was that transition?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Like, what do you think Luca's going through right now
and your boy Cooper Cup who might not be on
the team isn't going to be on the team moving forward?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What was that like for you?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Man? Yeah, it was obviously a massive change in life.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I mean, Melissa, I had four kids that were you know,
basically at that time five and under, So you know
we were five, five, four, and I think two when
we made that move. And so it was a massive
move to move across the country and obviously been an
amazing blessing and changed changed our lives for sure, Not
that we didn't enjoy Cincinnati, but just it was just
a wild change in adventure, right which adventures usually do.
(05:59):
But then I look at like other guys have experienced that,
you know, you look at Luca right now. I mean
that's a big, massive change as well.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I kind of called it out when he went, you know,
I tweeted out, like, you know, the last time they
got seventy seven in LA, good things happened, right. I
even realize that actually happened for the Kings too. They
got Jeff Carter and won to Stanley Cups. He was
number seventy seven as well. You used to play for Philadelphia,
So it's actually happened two times in a row. So now,
Luca trifectos, Let's go babies. Yeah, seven seven, let's go sevens.
(06:30):
Let's win another one in LA. That would be fantastic.
And talking about Coope, man, listen, unbelievable human. You know,
life's been changed just from being around this guy. His
impact on our locker room, his impact on the players,
the coaches, the building. He is a really special human
being and incredible.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Knowledge of the game.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I mean, any team that gets him, man, there I
would if I was a team, young quarterback, new coordinator, any.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Of that type stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Man, this is gonna be the smartest guy in the room,
maybe even harder than the guy who's calling the plays.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And you want that guy to.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Be able to articulate what it looks like the spacing
the time and the rhythm, snap in and snap out.
What's the vision for how we want to look? Cooper
is going to be like having a Sean McVay, but
as a player on the football field for you, and
I think that's something really. I think only for the Rams,
it's because they have Pooka. It's like, all right and
you've trained Puka. But for another team, man, I would
(07:24):
be saying, this is the kind of dude at whatever
I got to do to get me in my locker
room for my young receivers and my young quarterback, I'll
do it.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We talked to Puoka about it yesterday. He's seen bummed
on a flip side on your buddy leaves the team.
That's got to be tough too. And we heard you
reached out to him because you guys are like family.
When you went together, it's a deeper bond.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And you know obviously it's raw emotion when something like
that happens, right, and so you're upset. I mean, no
matter what, that's not what you want to hear is
going to happen. Cooper is the kind of guy like
he's going to respond to that adversity in an amazing way.
But man, you talk about the impact he's had on
Pooka in every second they spend together in so many
ways it don't even have to do with a football field.
(08:03):
Puoka will be forever changed and in his mindset, his mentality,
like his daily approach and process to how he chases
greatness because he got to be around Cooper sold with
that entire receiver room and much less that than the
entire locker room. So you know, I think that's why.
I mean, Coop's gonna have a huge impact. But a
guy like Pooka, you've gotten to see what it looks like.
What does that chase look like, what does the work
(08:24):
day in and day out look like? Can you now
go be that? I always say that as a player,
when you get in the league, it's like you get drafted.
You get this opportunity to like show who you are
and try to make a name for yourself, and all right, well,
this guy's gonna move to that next contract. He's a
guy who's gonna make it to a second contract. But
then it becomes all right, you're great. What's your impact
on everybody around you? What's your impact on our offense?
(08:44):
What's your impact on our group, not just about just you,
and you have to take those little steps all throughout
your career. Pucah's is just getting accelerated a little bit
with Cooper leaving, but he's got to become a leader
of that group and he's built to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And you are a leader on the RAMS.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
He's one of the guys that even if you're not
a Rams fan, when he won, people are happy for you.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
It was like, man, pretty pretty epic. Man, that's Witworth
feel good story. The transition to broadcasting. People love you there,
so you're you're a comfortable guy and who you are
as people like you. But when you get up there
and address a stadium and a country after the wild fire,
Oh man, First of all, how early do you find
out you're doing that?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And even a guy like you do the nerves kick in, like,
oh what am I going to?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah? You know it was wild.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
We were actually doing Thursday Night you are Amazon on Prime.
We had our first NFL playoff games, So we're doing
Steelers Ravens and you know, uh in in Baltimore and
so I'm you know, I'm going to that game and
I get a text on like I think it was
Friday or something like, Hey, the league's got like a
cool opportunity. They think like it would be awesome if
(09:49):
since the game's getting moved, you know, for you to
maybe address our fans and blah blah blah blah. And
like I'm thinking, in my mind, this is like, oh okay,
like sometime way before the game starts, like just fans
that are they I'm gonna get, you know. And then
as I'm realizing like oh no, no, no, this is
like right before the game kicks off, so it's like
you kind of gotta get nerves. And I get to
get there to the game, and I realized that they've
(10:10):
got this Beyonce stage I'm gonna stand on, as I
called it, because.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's like this elevated stage.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
And then like it's ESPN and they give me my
head set and they're like, oh, Joe Buck's gonna say
you're down there, and then there's this guy who's gonna
say go and I'm like, oh my gosh, like this
is live Monday night football.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Playoff them it's go time.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
So I will say that is probably the most nervous
I've been for like something, because that was you have
forty seconds. Yeah, we're gonna say go the national anthem
is starting in forty seconds, get.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It out whatever it is es yeah, oh yeah, because it's.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Like you got forty seconds, he's gonna say go the
national anthem starts. You don't have a clock anywhere, so
you're hoping what you just said, it's forty seconds that
It was real, Like I was a little like afterwards, like,
all right, that was.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Until where your kids like that? That was cool? Did
you like dear kids? Now sort of there'stand more of
what dad does.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
It was honestly awesome, not just for my family but
just people really as across the country, across sports just
in general that were watching that game and kind of
felt that emotion and probably had some feeling they were
feeling about everything that had been going on anyways that
reached out just with love and stuff from that. It
was a really cool like you try to pull your
(11:21):
passion and all out and give it to people and
tell how much you care about them, but then to
also get it back from people.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It was a really neat moment. That's and Drew.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Whitworth as an analyst and by the way, you're doing
a great job I have one last question because it's
probably going to be the topic of discussion. If Mahomes
wins four and six years, is that better than seven
and twenty three years? Is he the go It's going
to be an ongoing got to hit the conversation. But
you know, if it takes Lebron mj then it's not bad.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I would rather not discuss any of them. But that man,
here's what I keep you know, I keep saying, I
do think he is Michael Jordan. I will say that now.
Whether people think that Michael Jordan's would go to basketball
or not to go to the basketball blah blah blah blah.
I just think that's who he is in our game.
When you look at all the great players that he's
blocking from their opportunity, When you look at Josh Allen,
(12:11):
you look at Lamar Jackson like yeah, and you think
of Jordan and those eras and all the people would
have had a championship if they just.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Didn't have to face him.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I do think that, but I I think it's harder
to argue that the winningness because I think that that
probably says that you have to stay with Tom because
of all the you know, all the trophies, but the
best you know, I don't know, I you know it
Saving's coach the other night with an NFL head coach
and was like, Hey.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I don't know, he might be the best though the
three he might be the best it's ever playing. That's wild.
Even might not be the winningness, but he is probably
the best.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now it's never gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're here at mister Clean magic eraser. And by the way,
I'm taking these home because he's the best thing to
clean your sneakers.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, I'm just about to say sneakers. These are a
lot of wear a lot of white sneakers on the
road with our show. So I have to have you know,
magic r say not.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Only for like cleaning around the house. I'm always like
I always tell my wife, I'm like, put one aside.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
From my topsh sneakers always got on.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Right now, Yeah, people don't realize the mister Clean magic
racers best thing to use for the little smudges on
your white sneakers.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
There's no doubt by far. And when I got four
kids and three dogs, I got a lot of things.
Magic erasers are good.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Ok, great little smudges on the wall too, but.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, bouncing on the wall.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay, hair dye. How do you think my hair is?
Jeff Black?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Like this hair dye splashing on the wall. I got
to clean it off with the magic racer man. Thank
you guys, before you go, Andrew Whitworth here were coming
on rich.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
A couple of weeks ago, Saquon said that touchdown in
the snow was his best moment ever. Was your one
touchdown Membory, You'll never forget because you have one touchdown?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I do one.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Listen to one for one for one yard, one touchdown,
one route, one catch, one yard.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
That's the way. Touchdown on my birthday. Yeah really on
my birthday twelve twelve.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Twenty ten in Pittsburgh opening drive of the game. Fun
fact act. I actually think that we need to get
the NFL history on this. I need to I need
to get the league to do this. I was the
only offensive touchdown scored in that game. So Steelers had
two pick sixes. I think can beat us in a
low scoring game. But I was the only officer. So
I would love to know how many games an offensive
(14:18):
lineman has been the only offensive touchdown in the game
on their birthday.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Partly record for that. I'm just looking for a record.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Andrew continued success.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah, I appreciate you man. We got more coven on
Rich next, thank you mister clean.

Vee will beyond over promised. That's on Fox Sports Radio's
(14:58):
YouTube page. All right now again b John Robinson coming up,
Gary Vee on the way. But Cavino, there's one more
layer to today's story.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We never got to. Before we get to more NFL,
there was a story where.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We're meeting all these people Radio Row, Lunches, Dinners, Convention Center.
There's one of the clients for Fox Sports Radio that
went up to our buddy Weese, who works in the
promotional marketing team. He's the guy that's responsible putting together
the set all the great events.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
He's a great dude. They went up to him and
thought he was Mike Harmon and they were like, I
Love Your Show.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Mike Carmon, one of the hosts here on Fox Sports
Jason Smith with Mike Carmon, Jason Smith's best friends, and
we were all we were all dying laughing because we're like,
he thinks you're you're Mike Carmon.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's not the funny part of the story.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
As we're laughing about all this, we're with our boss
Don Don Martin, the big guy that runs Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
iHeart Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Some older woman infiltrates our circle and she's like, excuse me, yeah,
she like she separates us from Yes, she did.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'm so sorry. He pardoned me. Could I get a picture?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And our boss Don's like, oh, with Coveno and Rich
And she's like, no, no, no, I don't know them
with you and he's like with me, He's.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Like I don't know. He's like, who do you think
I am?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Keep in mind we're all surrounding him because he's a
super charismatic guy and he's our boss, and he's a
tall guy. I'm super tall, and you know, he looks important,
and he goes, who do you think I am? Wait,
you're not Dan Marino. She thought he was Dan Marino.
You know, again a super Bowl week. He's got that
(16:41):
look about him. He does, and so no he has
quarterback face. I stay to you, has anyone ever mistaken
you for a celebrity? And my super Bowl tip is
I always say this, if you're over six to two
and you're a black man, go to the Super Bowl.
You could tell any woman you play for the NFL
and they will believe you and you can get some
random booty.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
There you go. Yeah, Learne the benefits.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But hey, if you want to join down on that
conversation eight seven to seven, nine nine one. Fox plus
Bjon Robinson is next live super Bowl New Orleans could
be on rich.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsportsradio dot
com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen live.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Now before Bjon Robinson gets here. You want to hear
some late breaking stuff, I do. I'm doing the scroll here,
keep scrolling, scroll and sco and scoll in on my
phone on.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Social media, and.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Ring Magazine is saying that Canello Crawford is off. The
Ring Magazine has learned that what the anticipated fight between
Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford has been called off thoughts.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I think that's weak as hell. That's my thought right now.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Off but also in conjunction with Canelo, Jake Paul being on.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Ariel Helwani are Good Pal and Ring Magazine also are
saying that Jake Paul versus Canelo Alvarez is definitely being
discussed and has been for some time. However, reports are
that it's a done deal that's premature at this time,
is still developing. That's wild. So it's actually really interesting
(18:24):
to see that a legitimate fight is off, but a
fight with Jake Paul is on.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It goes to show you the culture where it that is. Well,
you know, I would love the opinion of the dude
to the right of me.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Well, let's give him a proper intro here, number seven
running back for the Atlanta Falcons, Jon Robins and everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yo, we just learned that.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I don't know, if you follow the fight game, it
all Canelo Alvarez, Terrence Crawford. They're saying that fights off
and the Canelo j Paul things looks more likely.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that's developing. Influencer Boxing, take it over. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I think Canelo is dominant. Yeah, yeah, you know, I
get it.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Jake Paul's really, you know, really good at fighting, and
you know he's done a good job. But fighting Canelo,
that's right. There are people that say that might be
like a one round deal. That doesn't look too sweet
to me. It is prize fighting.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I think Canel is just saying, Hey, if you want
to give me your thirty forty million dollars easy money,
I'll take it and then I'll fight Crawford whenever.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You know, so I would definitely do that. Hey, thanks
for being here. I love the.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Nirvana T shirt.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And he's shown a lot of MANTHI here, man, I
know you gotta show off, right beach On Robinson or
MANTHI tail.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
You look great.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Thank you for stopping by. Hey, first time meeting you.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I got to ask you, Yeah, what inspired you to
play football? And at what point did you realize I'm
really good at this?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
What age? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:51):
When your little kid? I just know, like you know,
God definitely blessed me to play the sport. You know,
I obviously played for him, so it's it's been amazing.
But it was really when I was like four years
old old, four or five years old playing flag football
and uh just I mean I ran backwards the first carry.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Uh so that was that was cool?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
After that taunting the people chasing you, No, I'd like
this he was the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I like I just ran backwards.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I thought you were so fast that you were running
backwards like a four or five years old.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
My son starts t ball next week, so now I'm
going to be assessing every movie he makes.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Make sure, just make sure, because my mom was like,
what is he doing? Like this might not be the sport,
but yeah, man, it's been. It's been something I just
love to do.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's so cool.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Bijon first two years in the league, over twenty four
hundred yards rushing, and uh, I think this year between
you Saquon, you know, Derrick Henry, the running back is back,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm sorry this people runing around the headphones.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Was that was that something that you took as a
compliment when Saquon did you hear put you in his
top three?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah? I mean that was that was great? Man, Like
that was awesome.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Obviously, you know, he's been the guy leading the charge
this year and it's been fun to see and you know,
there's there's a lot of guys you know that are
right behind him that you know, he's been elevating this
position this whole season. And for me, like, I mean,
you have what four guys that were one hundred and
some yards away just from two thousands all purpose like
(21:18):
or two of us. So it was it was definitely
a cool thing seeing all the guys just just be
great for the teams and great for the NFL and
being you know, try to be the most oppositive or
most impactful off of the players in the league.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Now when he's speaking so highly of you, yeah, you
know there is a brotherhood. You guys play the same position.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Does that mean you're rooting for him this weekend?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Or him in particular are the Eagles? Uh, I mean
nothing the Eagles, but like I really want him to
do really well. I think that'll be really cool, just
like finish the season off the right way for running
backs and to you know show everybody just the ability
that what you can do for for an offense and
obviously his offensive line is is incredible, but you know,
just showing the gifts that he's been given on the
(21:59):
biggest stage would be pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Whore's some of your role models on your come up
when you were a little kid, Like who influenced your
style as a player.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
So definitely like Ladane and Thomason LT. He's been the guy,
uh that I used to watch a lot. And then
obviously like Reggie Bush at USC. I still have his
tapes because my grandpa he was a PAC ten officials,
so he would have all the games that he had
when he.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Did USC, so that was great.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
And then like Leshaun McCoy is one of them, like
he's he's a guy that I used to love to
watch run the football. And then Adrian Peterson, Like those
are the four guys that I was always like watching
in trying to study and trying to make moves off
of them, and it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Did they reach out to you though and tell you, man, hey,
we're proud of you.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
This is incredible? Yeah, absolutely, every single one of them.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
And I mean they've they've been just great mentors for
me and just always been shouting me out and it's
been it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, Like I said, you look cool in that unify
I wish feel like the Falcons uniform. Yeah, pretty bad ass, right,
pretty cool, the little red highlight, pretty pretty cool. So
an eight and nineteen not not the way you wanted
to finish the season. Yeah, but a lot of times
people say eight to nine, that's like football purgatory gets
you're sort of stuck right there, like playoff in.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
The Yeah, like in the middle.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
But I feel like you guys are just like a
move or so away and you're and I'm not saying
your divisions are tough, but I thought you guys had
it this year. You look forward to next you and say,
all right, dude, guys, we're like a couple moves or
adjustments away from really getting to that next levels at
your mindset.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Well, definitely, And for us, like you know, when we
do make those moves and whatever we do, I know
they're gonna do in the right in the right manner.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
They're gonna do the right thing.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
They're gonna pick the right people for this program, because
I mean and honestly, like you know, we don't want
to look too much ahead. But you know, I know
that we play you know, one day, in one game
at a time, but we're trying to you know, be
the best team, not just in the in the South,
but like in the NFL, hopefully and try to have
you know, the kind of talent that can take us
to that kind of level, which I believe we were
(23:49):
about to do. And we're you know, gaining to have
this offseason. So you know, it's been it's been fun
to see other teams, you know, on the playoffs. It's
it's definitely stunk, like it's definitely hurt too, but hopefully
we can we can do some big things for that
next year.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, Bejean, we saw our buddy Pook and the Coup
the other day. Yeah, he was saying how he sort
of bummed to say goodbye to Cooper Cup. They're boys,
and you know some of these deals, I'm guessing players
find out when we find out they do. Like you're
seeing stuff like Kirk Cousins might get released and Pennix
might be officially your guy.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Are you going to find out when we find out?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, I mean that's that's exactly like when what happens
to the group chat after that? No, I mean, well,
Mike got got to name the starter. Like we all
find out found out on the internet. It's like on
on social media, Like that's how we found out. So
it was it's like little things like that that I mean,
obviously you can't control, but it's you you find out
when everybody else does.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So what goes through your mind when you hear that
the Falcons or expect to cut Kirk Cousins?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Do you want to reach out? Are you just play
it back? You just wait what happens?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yeah, you just kind of just have to see what happens, Cuz,
I mean obviously people could say like we're gonna do this,
this and this on social media, but it might be false.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Like and as much as you want to reach out,
you don't want to reach out, you don't. You don't
that guy?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, Yeah, exactly, control right.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Yeah, So like honestly, you just kind of just play
the play, play the cards, see what's.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
True, and and just kind of waiting. Right.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The other group chats, by the way, among teammates, you guys,
just the.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Group chat, not really not really blue chats yet.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
We we kind of stay away from like outside source
things in the chat because we just we just don't
want to stare up anything or cause anything.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Which relationship with Pennix Junior.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, I mean it's it's a great relationship, great relationship.
That's my dude. Man, he's alreadier dude.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, absolutely so if he is the guy, you don't
have to work on the relationship. You guys are cool,
not at all.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
That's awesome, Like that's and and that's the kind of
guys that they bring into Like they don't want to
bring in guys that are our standoffish or like that
don't talk to the teammates or that that don't really
jel like he immediately jailed as soon as he got in,
and it was it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
When when you.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
See you know, guys like Youquon Derrick Henry having these
monster years. People keep saying like, well, the Chiefs could
just game plan against can you really game plan just
a guy at that level? Like, I mean, have the
other teams tried this?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah? I think everything. I think everything probably tried it.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
It's really hard, man, because the thing that's hard about
it is you got a quarterback that I can run
and he's taking the defender away from the play so
that the blocks happen a lot more cleaner and you
can see a lot more a lot more holes in
the defense. When when that happens, and then you have
too like some of the best receivers in the NFL
on the outside, and you have a tight end that's
(26:28):
one of the best tight ends. So you have so
many threats around you. That helps him out a lot.
But yeah, you can't really, you can't really game plan
against it. All you can do is try hard to
stop it. But any one of those runs that he
has can break for for a long one.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I gotta ask Jon Robinson Hagen with Kavin on wretch. Yeah,
all right, regular dude like Coveno and myself regularly, I
always love to put myself in the scenario of an athlete.
You're way bigger, stronger, Yeah, yeah, you know, you got
age on me and everything. Could have regular guy ten
carries in the NFL with a good line gain one
(27:04):
yard what he got copied?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, yeah, you think, wow, yes, absolutely five yards?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Now five yards because you've seen those like what's the
hardest thing to gain yard?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Hit a three pointer in the NBA like a baseball
if appropriate?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
What you said with the good old line, but the
good old you can gain one yard. Leave it at that. Yeah,
I'm happy.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Five yards is hard because he has to he has
to try to outrun a linebacker coming at him and
that kid, but one yard you can literally get the
ball and dive, like.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Is there nothing more frustrating? And this happens to every
elite running back, like you you got that scene the
breakaway and a guy just get your.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Running pop up and slamm. Do that the worst?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
That's the worst one ever? Like, and then it's you
did You didn't just get caught. But then your whole
team's gonna start like, oh, you got caught. You can't
you can't outrun the player, Like they're gonna start making
funny you like yeah, and then I could just be like,
dang bro, Like you can't say nothing to it, because
that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
We've been talking about a lot this week is how
defenders now are just punching at the ball. They're just
throwing left hooks, right hooks, and I love it. It's
they're on target all the time. Are you feeling that
when you're covering the ball? I mean, because you're really
just getting punched. Their fumbles are down this year, so
you're like you're protecting fumble. Yeah this year, like the
only one was when the ball went have any fumble,
(28:20):
but you caught a few, right, hooks to the ribs.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
But the cool thing is like now that guys are
starting to like try to punch out the ball, they're
not tackling.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
So so you like that better?
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Oh absolutely, because then you're not tackling it, and then
you're breaking tackles in. I mean, obviously we're taught to like,
you know, high unto like squeeze the ball and everything
like that.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So man, it's it's cool for me.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Hey, as a superstar in your position, you're a young guy,
you're in the NFL, you're making big money, you're scoring
touchdowns as a player, you got to keep yourself hyped
up all the time, right, you got to be that guy.
So you got to get in your own head like
I'm the man.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I got to be the man. So when you're doing
all that and you're living this cool lifestyle, how do
you stay grounded?
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Man?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
In my faith, my faith, that's the one.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Like, you know, I'm always I'm always in my devotionals,
I'm always you know, in the Bible, I'm always just
you know, reading Bible studies, like because I feel like
that's what's taking me to new heights in my life
and to other levels in my life because I know
that I can rely on what God has for me,
and you know, it always keeps me humble. You know,
I'm never never cocky, like I'm never that guy that's
(29:23):
so great. But sometimes you have on the field you
have to be yeah. Yeah, I'm beast on the field
and spiritual. Yeah, and it brings you right back, it does.
That's so cool.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
So that's what That's what helps me out a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
And you're doing a lot of great work. I see
big brothers, big sisters tell us about it.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
So with this with this campaign, it's the Big Draft campaign.
And you know, we want ten thousand mentors for thirty
thirty thousand kids who want to draft a thousand mentors,
which is really cool. And I think it's just cool
to to have those kind of mentors. Like for me, obviously,
you guys have mentors, and you know, I've always had
mind throughout my life and my coaches and my dad,
everybody man like my mom. So I mean for these
(30:02):
kids that don't have one, you know, we need to
start now to help these kids out because it's only
going to help us in the world and help us
grow as people. But I mean, it's it's definitely been
a great opportunity to be with them and to represent them,
you know throughout my time my journey here B.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
John Robinson, big brothers and big sisters.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
You know, so many people in your business say, I
don't see this because you seem like such a cool dude.
So many people in your business retire so early, so
you know they're older guys on the field, but young
men in life.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
What do you think about after football?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, so I see you.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I could see you doing this.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
I do a lot of I do a lot of
different things, like I DJ. I've been doing the DJ
the DJ series in the NFL, so that's been pretty cool.
And then acting has been a thing that I've been
you know, dibbling in, like you know, trying to get
on these shows and have fun doing it, like little
cameos here and there. So I mean, and then I
have like this Bjon mustersend business. That's you know that
I that I have so like just three different things
that I want to continue to grow and elevate. So
(30:59):
because I always know it's important to have all this
stuff after football and to do I mean, what you
guys are doing is what I want to do as well.
So like it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Man cool.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I love it, man, J I got to ask you,
so Sunday, Big game, everyone's watching. We've talked about yappy
people at the Super Bowl party. Do you want everyone
to shut the heck up? Or do you Are you
okay with everyone yap yap yap? And during the game
commercials halftime, do you have the mindset of, like, listen,
if you're come into my house, pay attention?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Yeah, no, pay attention. Like obviously you can.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
You can cheer when when when the time is needed,
but you know, when when there's like a first and
you know, fifteen, like and they get two yards, I'm
gonna need y'all like you know, talking exactly focused. Yeah,
like but I mean obviously like you have a lot
of that, but you know, I'm not I'm not like
a yell I'm gonna yell at you because of it,
but just you know, just kind of lock.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
In, you know, lock a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeahay, continued success, No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Another guy.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You know that it's going to be terribly hard not
to root for exactly even if he plays your team.
So if you play, when you play at forty nine ers,
you go for one fifty, but I still.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Got it for the night. It's all good, all good.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Right. Let me hit you with this Draftking sportsbook. Yes,
not the Super Bowl prop. Give me your instinct without
thinking about it. Patrick Mahomes passing yards two hundred and
fifty and a half.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Just give me your instinct under under Danny fifteen and
a half over?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Oh really, I don't know, I tell you you know.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
A lot of this game, belut or not, I think
has to do with does Kelsey play like Kelsey?
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Should?
Speaker 6 (34:14):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
He has to be that guy again. He has to
step up and just sort of take over and be
the man. I think that's really what it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Do you know why I picked the under on the
saquon one ten and a half. Why because Danny saw
Chris Jones at CBS.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Oh yeah, I know. I think Danny motivated him. I
heard I heard Danny give him a pep talk.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, you're going everywhere, Saquan is you are right, Chris
And He's like, yeah, let me get my toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
And Dan, you know that was I told him.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
I say, you know, you represent the AFC West and
I showed him my Raider tattoo and then and then
he socked me.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So let me ask you this before we get into
I know you had a thought about Kirk Cousins as
we get closer to Super Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know, people hyped up about Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
They not like us.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The most decorated song in Grammy history. Every award possibly
could win it one in the rap category. In the
main categories.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Drake loves that.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Drake is crying. You know what It's like, I said
to you, remember the movie is it euro Trip? Yeah,
Scotty doesn't know. Remember the fake rock song.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
At the beginning?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, and Matt Damon Scotty doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
That would be like if that song one rock song
of the year, And Scotty is Drake the biggest Dish
track of all time?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
And the question though now wins awards.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Will the NFL allowed the line about pedophile to stick
because they're saying, will Kendrick change it?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Will they beep it? Will they let it fly? Could
lawsuits happen?
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Like?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
That's since it's a dish track, you know, not all
the lyrics are kind. So do you think they'll let
that fly? If you're the NFL, do you say, hey, dude,
if you don't change, you gotta beep it.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
NFL is known for playing it safe, So I think
the NFL, and you know millions of families watching, will
play it safe in this case.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
If they have to be bit, they'll be on stand
by to be bit.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
And also remember rap artists do a lot of shows
where they have to do their radio versions of the song.
So he's he's well versed at being careful with his lyrics,
no doubt.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Now, Colvino a lot of NBA trades. But there's a
guy that's probably done in Atlanta and it's not be
John Robinson.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
We just saw him.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
He's got a bright future. Kirk Cousins. Yeah, we talked
to Bijon Robinson about it.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
He's just waiting on his group chat to see what happens,
and you know he finds out when we find out
on social media. But it looks like they're cutting ties
with Cousins and investing in Pennix Junior moving forward.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
You know what to remind you of that the NFL draft,
when the sentiment was like, why on earth would they
take Pennix Junior when they just gave Kirk Cousins all
that money, And a lot of people were like, you
know why because it's the NFL. You never know, Cousins
was coming back from injury, he's getting older, and you know,
the sentiment was, well, even if Cousin plays a couple
(37:03):
of years, you'll have Pennix Junior. There talk about grand
over in grand closing, like that didn't even last more
than a season. And now we're looking at all, right
in year two, here's the keys to the car, Michael
Penick Junior. And if Cousins is released, I don't think
he likes that. How much money will Kirk Cousins have
made in that contract? That contract was for how long?
(37:25):
That was a big ass contract. So Danny G did
the math.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
While you look that up, Danny G, I'll read the
statue you put up before in his thirteen year career
with NFL contracts alone. Yeah, Kirk Cousins has made two
hundred and ninety four million dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
That's just on NFL contract that's like power balls. Yeah,
that's insane.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
It's in the lottery.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
It's like he like he won the power ball. That's
the sixth highest though in active players. So that's no
chump change man. That's a lot of flow and that.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And by the way, let's remember where his career started
where he couldn't even really find a place. You know,
it was like Washington, then Minnesota, then you know he's
bounced around.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yeah, people thought he was just like a really really
good backup and take a look down, dude.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Four years one point eighty including fifty million dollars as
a signing bonus and one hundred million of that guaranteed.
So for a guy that played most of the year
but way underperformed, is that the easiest money you think
a pro athlete has ever made? Is there someone else
that comes to mind, like they sound the big deal
and they were hurt like so far, I mean, I
(38:29):
know it's an injury, but Brandon a yu signd that
big deal with the Niners got hurt like a game
into it.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
There's a lot of examples like that of like a
Jacoby Yilsbury that's signed with the Yankees, never played ever, Dude.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
Tease me now about JaMarcus Russell. Yeah, that was before
that was before the low the lower rookie salaries.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
So we like to chop it up here live from
Radio Row, New Orleans. But we're really just trying to
get you to think of those rare moments where look
works thinks most of the time, but there's every once
in a while where the gods smile on you and
you get paid to do basically nothing right. Everyone has
to have one little moment in their life where they're like,
(39:10):
that was the easiest money I ever made, Rodney Dangerfield
style some easy money and rich. I know you have
a story too that comes to mind of like, Yo,
that was the easiest payday I ever had.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Can I tell you that I think I have the answer.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's not the biggest money deal, but can you think
of guy And you're always gonna come up with guys
on your team, so part of me that it's a
met But can you think of a guy that signs
a deal and like almost didn't play, yet your team
still wasted payroll and salary on this guy.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Do you're her former Oakland A He was around the
league a little bit. Jed Lowry, I remember the name,
Remember the name Jed Lowry.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
The Mets signed him in the late twenty teens. From
what I understand as I'm reading his stats. On January tenth,
twenty nineteen, Lowry sends a two year deal with the Mets.
He was placed on the disabled list of I L
with a spring the Ultimately, in two years as a Met,
he had.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Seven at bats.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Oh yeah, he saw no field time, seven pinch hits,
no hits, no hits. Oh for six with a walk
in seven at bats. And he's had the big two
year deal.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Enigma which you turned me on to. Was it Netflix?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:27):
The ro series? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (40:30):
Remember Matt Flynn kept talking throughout the docu series. He
made more than nineteen million dollars during his NFL career,
see and he only had seven starts.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
And you know it was based on that one game,
one good game. He played the Packers as a backup
and and lit it up. And then the Seahawks signed him.
And if you remember how that story went, then they
drafted Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Russ beat him out.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
In camp, and then then he goes to the Raiders
and Derek Carr beat him out.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
In pre So yeah, that got his nineteen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I mean, there there have been times where Cavino and
I have worked really hard and haven't really got paid
for something we did, hosted an event, you know, did
something for a client, and then there's those few times
that in everyone's career, and I'm sure everyone feels the
same way.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
You can't believe you got paid, Like like there was
a there was.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
A time where I've hosted events where I've done such
minimal work, Like I just played music and made like
one announcement.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
It was a pretty nice pay day, and I remember
being like, why would they pay me this? You feel
like you're robbing you know what. That's the first thing.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
A lot of times, as radio hosts will host a
sales event and they want you to come by, and
you think that you're gonna have to speak at this event,
and sometimes you don't.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Want you to.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
He like, really, so why am I here?
Speaker 4 (41:45):
So you just want me to like walk around like
you're like a male model. Yeah, so what am I
here to do you.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Don't want you don't want me on the mic to
like at least make an announcement, say hello to the clients.
And it's like, you're basically paying us to do nothing.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
That.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Again, there's a lot of times we don't get paid
anything at all, but in those moments, it's.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Like it evens out because they Wow, they paid us
for that.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
So whatever your line of work is, I'm sure there's
an example of this because I'll give you one more.
During COVID, my wife and I we bought our house
in Los Angeles. But in order to buy that house,
we had we had a property in Texas that we sold.
That was when people were looking for houses. Inventory was low,
you know, prices were going through the roof. Our real
(42:26):
estate agent was suddening us like fruit baskets and prizes
and wine and everything.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Because they put the house on the market.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
It sold in a day because that was when the
market and he's like, listen, I've never sold the house.
I'm taking a commission. He felt guilty in the real
estate guy. He's like, oh, but he took it, Oh,
he took it, but he was he sent my wife
and I like some prizes essentially because he's like, he
didn't do anything. I did nothing, sold itself. And that's
the Kirk Cousins story. Everyone did nothing.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah he did nothing for that team, but he seems
like you're good, dude. Two hundred and ninety four million
dollars in his football career. So that's that's a lot
of button down trips and that is So what's that
story for you? You could share at Covino and Rich

Let's welcome Andrew Whitworthday.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Dude, Okay man.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
First off, I know you're a big dude, but in person,
you're a house people need to understand.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Six foot seven beefcake. Pleasure to meet you.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hey, mister Clean, what's up man?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I brought a friend today Spring a friend day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I totally should have ft with him because he was like,
so Wentworth's He's gonna be playing mister Clean in a
Super Bowl and ago I should have said, yes.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
How do we know he's not? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We don't know, like the idea though.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah right, So, hey, man, thanks for your time, Thanks
for being here. Obvious thing out of the way when
we were getting ready this morning. I really was gonna
wear the jacket and the hoodie, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
No, that's his thing. I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So you kind of ruined it for everybody. But is
there a partnership in the works here or what? You
gotta have people reaching out to you. Yeah, that's what
I keep saying. The biggest thing I've missed out on
is I don't have a hoodie line. You know, I should.
I should have my own brand of hoodies, that's for sure.
Maybe that may. We'll work on that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You have to.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I have to.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
We got to get that done, that's for sure. Amazon.
Come on, what are we doing with wasting time? I
like that, you know, listen, it's good. I need to
get it done. It's been fun, it's you know, it's
something I always wore hoodies, being a big guy. Was
obviously a much bigger human, even bigger than I am now.
When I was playing, you know, you hate collared shirts.
Collared shirts always like sat out like I never the
two buttons, no chance, and just like you never know what,
(01:47):
there's always the buttons.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I couldn't button any buttons because my neck was so
big and my back was so big, So I mean,
you know, I just hated them, and so I got
into wearing hoodies and T shirts Like everywhere I went,
so I either wore a jacket and a T shirt
or a jacket a hoodie. And I happen to wear
a hoodie and a jacket to our first dinner at Amazon,
and they're like, you look good in that, Like would
you want to wear that for the game, like with
a suit.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I was like yeah, And it's become such a thing,
and it's a.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Thing like either people hate it they love it and
it's great.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Like people are like, dude, you're a disgrace to the
game of football.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
They're like because you have a hoodie on on TV,
which I think is just like crazy and asinine. And
then there's people who are like constant dms, please dude
the brand. I need the brand, Like I'm getting my
husband something for Christmas, or my wife loves these. I'm
gonna get a bunch because she wants me to wear them.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You know. So it's just it's awesome to see how
explosive it is.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
People either just absolutely love it hate it, and then
some people have kind of come around over the years
and they're like, hey, dude, I didn't like it at first,
but now I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, it's refreshing because we've talked for years about
how the sports world it's a bunch of dudes drinking
and hanging.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But yet in the broadcasting world of sports, suiting up
it's it's right, doesn't make sense. Like all the guys
that are watching or we're in T shirts, hoodies, just chilling.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's like like when you watch teams travel right, like
the reality is dude, like when you're like, oh man,
this team doesn't dress up like the guys who, like
I know, old schools, like you wear a suit when
you travel on the plane and land.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Like here's the truth.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
We wear T shirts and shorts and probably aren't even wearing
underwear to work on most days with flip flops. Like
we don't work that kind of job. We show up
and put on pads and play football. So like the
whole idea of us wearing business suits or any of
that is like, it's just crazy. So it is funny
like that you're almost just playing a character to show
up to the game. You don't ever dress like that
(03:29):
ever ever, But all of a sudden you put on
a suit to go, put on your pads and your jersey.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, to talk to some guy with face paint ont Yeah. Yeah,
Andrew Worth hanging with Commito and Rich.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So the transition to the broadcasting world for you, everyone
seems to love you, which is great because I wanted
to ask, do you think people and fans are more
critical of players or announcers these days?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It kind of feels like it's starting to become more
about analyst announcers like wildgo after Yeah, And so it's interesting.
I think for me it's one of those things is
that it's been fun to kind of figure it out
over the last three years, like who you kind of
feel yourself being and where you want to go with
it because there's so many lanes you could And I
think to me, you look at some guys get in
and they want to have a hot take because they
(04:12):
just want to get people to splash on, you know,
coming after them, and they love the attention and then
they don't like it. Everybody gets mad at them and
then they kind of back off a little bit and
kind of change their tune. Or other guys maybe don't
say enough, and you're like, man, I'd love you to
have something more opinionated. I think they try and find themselves.
I think for me it was like, man, I just
want to be like really good at being true to
who I am and like if whatever's coming out of
(04:33):
my mouth is like just what I feel and like
it's not about a take, it's not about like, it's
just in my emotion in that moment when I'm watching
this play, this is what I feel like. It needs
to be better, this is what I think's awesome. I
don't want to give praise to this is a guy
that I feel like is doing it the right way,
or this is somebody that feel like, man, they really
need to check themselves because I can see the problems
they're going to come down the road for them if
(04:54):
they don't do X, Y and Z and so I think,
to me, it's just if I can stay authentically me
through that whole process, that's what's most important thing.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, you don't have to question, right, Yeah, when I.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Get done, Like listen, if people like me or not,
are they like the hoodie or they like my body,
Like that's that's for them, Like they're gonna decide whether
they like me or not. But I think what they'll
appreciate is like this dude's always him. He never needs
to be a character to be himself, like he is
just him. And that's why that's what I try to stay.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Andrew Whitworth here with Cavino and Rich you played most
of your years with the Bengals, then you want with
the Rams.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
What was that transition?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Like, what do you think Luca's going through right now
and your boy Cooper Cup who might not be on
the team isn't going to be on the team moving forward?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What was that like for you?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Man? Yeah, it was obviously a massive change in life.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I mean, Melissa, I had four kids that were you know,
basically at that time five and under, So you know
we were five, five, four, and I think two when
we made that move. And so it was a massive
move to move across the country and obviously been an
amazing blessing and changed changed our lives for sure, Not
that we didn't enjoy Cincinnati, but just it was just
a wild change in adventure, right which adventures usually do.
(05:59):
But then I look at like other guys have experienced that,
you know, you look at Luca right now. I mean
that's a big, massive change as well.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I kind of called it out when he went, you know,
I tweeted out, like, you know, the last time they
got seventy seven in LA, good things happened, right. I
even realize that actually happened for the Kings too. They
got Jeff Carter and won to Stanley Cups. He was
number seventy seven as well. You used to play for Philadelphia,
So it's actually happened two times in a row. So now,
Luca trifectos, Let's go babies. Yeah, seven seven, let's go sevens.
(06:30):
Let's win another one in LA. That would be fantastic.
And talking about Coope, man, listen, unbelievable human. You know,
life's been changed just from being around this guy. His
impact on our locker room, his impact on the players,
the coaches, the building. He is a really special human
being and incredible.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Knowledge of the game.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I mean, any team that gets him, man, there I
would if I was a team, young quarterback, new coordinator, any.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Of that type stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Man, this is gonna be the smartest guy in the room,
maybe even harder than the guy who's calling the plays.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And you want that guy to.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Be able to articulate what it looks like the spacing
the time and the rhythm, snap in and snap out.
What's the vision for how we want to look? Cooper
is going to be like having a Sean McVay, but
as a player on the football field for you, and
I think that's something really. I think only for the Rams,
it's because they have Pooka. It's like, all right and
you've trained Puka. But for another team, man, I would
(07:24):
be saying, this is the kind of dude at whatever
I got to do to get me in my locker
room for my young receivers and my young quarterback, I'll
do it.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We talked to Puoka about it yesterday. He's seen bummed
on a flip side on your buddy leaves the team.
That's got to be tough too. And we heard you
reached out to him because you guys are like family.
When you went together, it's a deeper bond.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And you know obviously it's raw emotion when something like
that happens, right, and so you're upset. I mean, no
matter what, that's not what you want to hear is
going to happen. Cooper is the kind of guy like
he's going to respond to that adversity in an amazing way.
But man, you talk about the impact he's had on
Pooka in every second they spend together in so many
ways it don't even have to do with a football field.
(08:03):
Puoka will be forever changed and in his mindset, his mentality,
like his daily approach and process to how he chases
greatness because he got to be around Cooper sold with
that entire receiver room and much less that than the
entire locker room. So you know, I think that's why.
I mean, Coop's gonna have a huge impact. But a
guy like Pooka, you've gotten to see what it looks like.
What does that chase look like, what does the work
(08:24):
day in and day out look like? Can you now
go be that? I always say that as a player,
when you get in the league, it's like you get drafted.
You get this opportunity to like show who you are
and try to make a name for yourself, and all right, well,
this guy's gonna move to that next contract. He's a
guy who's gonna make it to a second contract. But
then it becomes all right, you're great. What's your impact
on everybody around you? What's your impact on our offense?
(08:44):
What's your impact on our group, not just about just you,
and you have to take those little steps all throughout
your career. Pucah's is just getting accelerated a little bit
with Cooper leaving, but he's got to become a leader
of that group and he's built to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And you are a leader on the RAMS.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
He's one of the guys that even if you're not
a Rams fan, when he won, people are happy for you.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
It was like, man, pretty pretty epic. Man, that's Witworth
feel good story. The transition to broadcasting. People love you there,
so you're you're a comfortable guy and who you are
as people like you. But when you get up there
and address a stadium and a country after the wild fire,
Oh man, First of all, how early do you find
out you're doing that?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And even a guy like you do the nerves kick in, like,
oh what am I going to?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah? You know it was wild.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
We were actually doing Thursday Night you are Amazon on Prime.
We had our first NFL playoff games, So we're doing
Steelers Ravens and you know, uh in in Baltimore and
so I'm you know, I'm going to that game and
I get a text on like I think it was
Friday or something like, Hey, the league's got like a
cool opportunity. They think like it would be awesome if
(09:49):
since the game's getting moved, you know, for you to
maybe address our fans and blah blah blah blah. And
like I'm thinking, in my mind, this is like, oh okay,
like sometime way before the game starts, like just fans
that are they I'm gonna get, you know. And then
as I'm realizing like oh no, no, no, this is
like right before the game kicks off, so it's like
you kind of gotta get nerves. And I get to
get there to the game, and I realized that they've
(10:10):
got this Beyonce stage I'm gonna stand on, as I
called it, because.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's like this elevated stage.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
And then like it's ESPN and they give me my
head set and they're like, oh, Joe Buck's gonna say
you're down there, and then there's this guy who's gonna
say go and I'm like, oh my gosh, like this
is live Monday night football.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Playoff them it's go time.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
So I will say that is probably the most nervous
I've been for like something, because that was you have
forty seconds. Yeah, we're gonna say go the national anthem
is starting in forty seconds, get.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It out whatever it is es yeah, oh yeah, because it's.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Like you got forty seconds, he's gonna say go the
national anthem starts. You don't have a clock anywhere, so
you're hoping what you just said, it's forty seconds that
It was real, Like I was a little like afterwards, like,
all right, that was.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Until where your kids like that? That was cool? Did
you like dear kids? Now sort of there'stand more of
what dad does.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
It was honestly awesome, not just for my family but
just people really as across the country, across sports just
in general that were watching that game and kind of
felt that emotion and probably had some feeling they were
feeling about everything that had been going on anyways that
reached out just with love and stuff from that. It
was a really cool like you try to pull your
(11:21):
passion and all out and give it to people and
tell how much you care about them, but then to
also get it back from people.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It was a really neat moment. That's and Drew.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Whitworth as an analyst and by the way, you're doing
a great job I have one last question because it's
probably going to be the topic of discussion. If Mahomes
wins four and six years, is that better than seven
and twenty three years? Is he the go It's going
to be an ongoing got to hit the conversation. But
you know, if it takes Lebron mj then it's not bad.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I would rather not discuss any of them. But that man,
here's what I keep you know, I keep saying, I
do think he is Michael Jordan. I will say that now.
Whether people think that Michael Jordan's would go to basketball
or not to go to the basketball blah blah blah blah.
I just think that's who he is in our game.
When you look at all the great players that he's
blocking from their opportunity, When you look at Josh Allen,
(12:11):
you look at Lamar Jackson like yeah, and you think
of Jordan and those eras and all the people would
have had a championship if they just.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Didn't have to face him.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I do think that, but I I think it's harder
to argue that the winningness because I think that that
probably says that you have to stay with Tom because
of all the you know, all the trophies, but the
best you know, I don't know, I you know it
Saving's coach the other night with an NFL head coach
and was like, Hey.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I don't know, he might be the best though the
three he might be the best it's ever playing. That's wild.
Even might not be the winningness, but he is probably
the best.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now it's never gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're here at mister Clean magic eraser. And by the way,
I'm taking these home because he's the best thing to
clean your sneakers.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, I'm just about to say sneakers. These are a
lot of wear a lot of white sneakers on the
road with our show. So I have to have you know,
magic r say not.

I always tell my wife, I'm like, put one aside.
Speaker 4 (13:06):

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Right now, Yeah, people don't realize the mister Clean magic
racers best thing to use for the little smudges on
your white sneakers.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
There's no doubt by far. And when I got four
kids and three dogs, I got a lot of things.
Magic erasers are good.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Ok, great little smudges on the wall too, but.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
A couple of weeks ago, Saquon said that touchdown in
the snow was his best moment ever. Was your one
touchdown Membory, You'll never forget because you have one touchdown?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I do one.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Listen to one for one for one yard, one touchdown,
one route, one catch, one yard.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
That's the way. Touchdown on my birthday. Yeah really on
my birthday twelve twelve.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Twenty ten in Pittsburgh opening drive of the game. Fun
fact act. I actually think that we need to get
the NFL history on this. I need to I need
to get the league to do this. I was the
only offensive touchdown scored in that game. So Steelers had
two pick sixes. I think can beat us in a
low scoring game. But I was the only officer. So
I would love to know how many games an offensive
(14:18):
lineman has been the only offensive touchdown in the game
on their birthday.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Partly record for that. I'm just looking for a record.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Andrew continued success.
Speaker 3 (14:29):

YouTube page. All right now again b John Robinson coming up,
Gary Vee on the way. But Cavino, there's one more
layer to today's story.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We never got to. Before we get to more NFL,
there was a story where.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We're meeting all these people Radio Row, Lunches, Dinners, Convention Center.
There's one of the clients for Fox Sports Radio that
went up to our buddy Weese, who works in the
promotional marketing team. He's the guy that's responsible putting together
the set all the great events.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
He's a great dude. They went up to him and
thought he was Mike Harmon and they were like, I
Love Your Show.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Mike Carmon, one of the hosts here on Fox Sports
Jason Smith with Mike Carmon, Jason Smith's best friends, and
we were all we were all dying laughing because we're like,
he thinks you're you're Mike Carmon.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's not the funny part of the story.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
As we're laughing about all this, we're with our boss
Don Don Martin, the big guy that runs Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
iHeart Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Some older woman infiltrates our circle and she's like, excuse me, yeah,
she like she separates us from Yes, she did.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'm so sorry. He pardoned me. Could I get a picture?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And our boss Don's like, oh, with Coveno and Rich
And she's like, no, no, no, I don't know them
with you and he's like with me, He's.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Like I don't know. He's like, who do you think
I am?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Keep in mind we're all surrounding him because he's a
super charismatic guy and he's our boss, and he's a
tall guy. I'm super tall, and you know, he looks important,
and he goes, who do you think I am? Wait,
you're not Dan Marino. She thought he was Dan Marino.
You know, again a super Bowl week. He's got that
(16:41):
look about him. He does, and so no he has
quarterback face. I stay to you, has anyone ever mistaken
you for a celebrity? And my super Bowl tip is
I always say this, if you're over six to two
and you're a black man, go to the Super Bowl.
You could tell any woman you play for the NFL
and they will believe you and you can get some
random booty.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
There you go. Yeah, Learne the benefits.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But hey, if you want to join down on that
conversation eight seven to seven, nine nine one. Fox plus
Bjon Robinson is next live super Bowl New Orleans could
be on rich.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Now before Bjon Robinson gets here. You want to hear
some late breaking stuff, I do. I'm doing the scroll here,
keep scrolling, scroll and sco and scoll in on my
phone on.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Social media, and.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Ring Magazine is saying that Canello Crawford is off. The
Ring Magazine has learned that what the anticipated fight between
Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford has been called off thoughts.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I think that's weak as hell. That's my thought right now.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Off but also in conjunction with Canelo, Jake Paul being on.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Ariel Helwani are Good Pal and Ring Magazine also are
saying that Jake Paul versus Canelo Alvarez is definitely being
discussed and has been for some time. However, reports are
that it's a done deal that's premature at this time,
is still developing. That's wild. So it's actually really interesting
(18:24):
to see that a legitimate fight is off, but a
fight with Jake Paul is on.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It goes to show you the culture where it that is. Well,
you know, I would love the opinion of the dude
to the right of me.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Well, let's give him a proper intro here, number seven
running back for the Atlanta Falcons, Jon Robins and everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yo, we just learned that.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I don't know, if you follow the fight game, it
all Canelo Alvarez, Terrence Crawford. They're saying that fights off
and the Canelo j Paul things looks more likely.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that's developing. Influencer Boxing, take it over. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I think Canelo is dominant. Yeah, yeah, you know, I
get it.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Jake Paul's really, you know, really good at fighting, and
you know he's done a good job. But fighting Canelo,
that's right. There are people that say that might be
like a one round deal. That doesn't look too sweet
to me. It is prize fighting.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I think Canel is just saying, Hey, if you want
to give me your thirty forty million dollars easy money,
I'll take it and then I'll fight Crawford whenever.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You know, so I would definitely do that. Hey, thanks
for being here. I love the.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Nirvana T shirt.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And he's shown a lot of MANTHI here, man, I
know you gotta show off, right beach On Robinson or
MANTHI tail.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
You look great.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Thank you for stopping by. Hey, first time meeting you.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I got to ask you, Yeah, what inspired you to
play football? And at what point did you realize I'm
really good at this?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
What age? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:51):
When your little kid? I just know, like you know,
God definitely blessed me to play the sport. You know,
I obviously played for him, so it's it's been amazing.
But it was really when I was like four years
old old, four or five years old playing flag football
and uh just I mean I ran backwards the first carry.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Uh so that was that was cool?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
After that taunting the people chasing you, No, I'd like
this he was the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I like I just ran backwards.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I thought you were so fast that you were running
backwards like a four or five years old.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
My son starts t ball next week, so now I'm
going to be assessing every movie he makes.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Make sure, just make sure, because my mom was like,
what is he doing? Like this might not be the sport,
but yeah, man, it's been. It's been something I just
love to do.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's so cool.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Bijon first two years in the league, over twenty four
hundred yards rushing, and uh, I think this year between
you Saquon, you know, Derrick Henry, the running back is back,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm sorry this people runing around the headphones.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Was that was that something that you took as a
compliment when Saquon did you hear put you in his
top three?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah? I mean that was that was great? Man, Like
that was awesome.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Obviously, you know, he's been the guy leading the charge
this year and it's been fun to see and you know,
there's there's a lot of guys you know that are
right behind him that you know, he's been elevating this
position this whole season. And for me, like, I mean,
you have what four guys that were one hundred and
some yards away just from two thousands all purpose like
(21:18):
or two of us. So it was it was definitely
a cool thing seeing all the guys just just be
great for the teams and great for the NFL and
being you know, try to be the most oppositive or
most impactful off of the players in the league.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Now when he's speaking so highly of you, yeah, you
know there is a brotherhood. You guys play the same position.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Does that mean you're rooting for him this weekend?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Or him in particular are the Eagles? Uh, I mean
nothing the Eagles, but like I really want him to
do really well. I think that'll be really cool, just
like finish the season off the right way for running
backs and to you know show everybody just the ability
that what you can do for for an offense and
obviously his offensive line is is incredible, but you know,
just showing the gifts that he's been given on the
(21:59):
biggest stage would be pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Whore's some of your role models on your come up
when you were a little kid, Like who influenced your
style as a player.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
So definitely like Ladane and Thomason LT. He's been the guy,
uh that I used to watch a lot. And then
obviously like Reggie Bush at USC. I still have his
tapes because my grandpa he was a PAC ten officials,
so he would have all the games that he had
when he.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Did USC, so that was great.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
And then like Leshaun McCoy is one of them, like
he's he's a guy that I used to love to
watch run the football. And then Adrian Peterson, Like those
are the four guys that I was always like watching
in trying to study and trying to make moves off
of them, and it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Did they reach out to you though and tell you, man, hey,
we're proud of you.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
This is incredible? Yeah, absolutely, every single one of them.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
And I mean they've they've been just great mentors for
me and just always been shouting me out and it's
been it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, Like I said, you look cool in that unify
I wish feel like the Falcons uniform. Yeah, pretty bad ass, right,
pretty cool, the little red highlight, pretty pretty cool. So
an eight and nineteen not not the way you wanted
to finish the season. Yeah, but a lot of times
people say eight to nine, that's like football purgatory gets
you're sort of stuck right there, like playoff in.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
The Yeah, like in the middle.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
But I feel like you guys are just like a
move or so away and you're and I'm not saying
your divisions are tough, but I thought you guys had
it this year. You look forward to next you and say,
all right, dude, guys, we're like a couple moves or
adjustments away from really getting to that next levels at
your mindset.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Well, definitely, And for us, like you know, when we
do make those moves and whatever we do, I know
they're gonna do in the right in the right manner.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
They're gonna do the right thing.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
They're gonna pick the right people for this program, because
I mean and honestly, like you know, we don't want
to look too much ahead. But you know, I know
that we play you know, one day, in one game
at a time, but we're trying to you know, be
the best team, not just in the in the South,
but like in the NFL, hopefully and try to have
you know, the kind of talent that can take us
to that kind of level, which I believe we were
(23:49):
about to do. And we're you know, gaining to have
this offseason. So you know, it's been it's been fun
to see other teams, you know, on the playoffs. It's
it's definitely stunk, like it's definitely hurt too, but hopefully
we can we can do some big things for that
next year.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, Bejean, we saw our buddy Pook and the Coup
the other day. Yeah, he was saying how he sort
of bummed to say goodbye to Cooper Cup. They're boys,
and you know some of these deals, I'm guessing players
find out when we find out they do. Like you're
seeing stuff like Kirk Cousins might get released and Pennix
might be officially your guy.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Are you going to find out when we find out?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, I mean that's that's exactly like when what happens
to the group chat after that? No, I mean, well,
Mike got got to name the starter. Like we all
find out found out on the internet. It's like on
on social media, Like that's how we found out. So
it was it's like little things like that that I mean,
obviously you can't control, but it's you you find out
when everybody else does.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So what goes through your mind when you hear that
the Falcons or expect to cut Kirk Cousins?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Do you want to reach out? Are you just play
it back? You just wait what happens?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yeah, you just kind of just have to see what happens, Cuz,
I mean obviously people could say like we're gonna do this,
this and this on social media, but it might be false.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Like and as much as you want to reach out,
you don't want to reach out, you don't. You don't
that guy?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, Yeah, exactly, control right.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Yeah, So like honestly, you just kind of just play
the play, play the cards, see what's.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
True, and and just kind of waiting. Right.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The other group chats, by the way, among teammates, you guys,
just the.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Group chat, not really not really blue chats yet.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
We we kind of stay away from like outside source
things in the chat because we just we just don't
want to stare up anything or cause anything.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Which relationship with Pennix Junior.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, I mean it's it's a great relationship, great relationship.
That's my dude. Man, he's alreadier dude.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, absolutely so if he is the guy, you don't
have to work on the relationship. You guys are cool,
not at all.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
That's awesome, Like that's and and that's the kind of
guys that they bring into Like they don't want to
bring in guys that are our standoffish or like that
don't talk to the teammates or that that don't really
jel like he immediately jailed as soon as he got in,
and it was it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
When when you.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
See you know, guys like Youquon Derrick Henry having these
monster years. People keep saying like, well, the Chiefs could
just game plan against can you really game plan just
a guy at that level? Like, I mean, have the
other teams tried this?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah? I think everything. I think everything probably tried it.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
It's really hard, man, because the thing that's hard about
it is you got a quarterback that I can run
and he's taking the defender away from the play so
that the blocks happen a lot more cleaner and you
can see a lot more a lot more holes in
the defense. When when that happens, and then you have
too like some of the best receivers in the NFL
on the outside, and you have a tight end that's
(26:28):
one of the best tight ends. So you have so
many threats around you. That helps him out a lot.
But yeah, you can't really, you can't really game plan
against it. All you can do is try hard to
stop it. But any one of those runs that he
has can break for for a long one.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I gotta ask Jon Robinson Hagen with Kavin on wretch. Yeah,
all right, regular dude like Coveno and myself regularly, I
always love to put myself in the scenario of an athlete.
You're way bigger, stronger, Yeah, yeah, you know, you got
age on me and everything. Could have regular guy ten
carries in the NFL with a good line gain one
(27:04):
yard what he got copied?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, yeah, you think, wow, yes, absolutely five yards?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Now five yards because you've seen those like what's the
hardest thing to gain yard?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Hit a three pointer in the NBA like a baseball
if appropriate?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
What you said with the good old line, but the
good old you can gain one yard. Leave it at that. Yeah,
I'm happy.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Five yards is hard because he has to he has
to try to outrun a linebacker coming at him and
that kid, but one yard you can literally get the
ball and dive, like.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Is there nothing more frustrating? And this happens to every
elite running back, like you you got that scene the
breakaway and a guy just get your.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Running pop up and slamm. Do that the worst?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
That's the worst one ever? Like, and then it's you
did You didn't just get caught. But then your whole
team's gonna start like, oh, you got caught. You can't
you can't outrun the player, Like they're gonna start making
funny you like yeah, and then I could just be like,
dang bro, Like you can't say nothing to it, because
that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
We've been talking about a lot this week is how
defenders now are just punching at the ball. They're just
throwing left hooks, right hooks, and I love it. It's
they're on target all the time. Are you feeling that
when you're covering the ball? I mean, because you're really
just getting punched. Their fumbles are down this year, so
you're like you're protecting fumble. Yeah this year, like the
only one was when the ball went have any fumble,
(28:20):
but you caught a few, right, hooks to the ribs.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
But the cool thing is like now that guys are
starting to like try to punch out the ball, they're
not tackling.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
So so you like that better?
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Oh absolutely, because then you're not tackling it, and then
you're breaking tackles in. I mean, obviously we're taught to like,
you know, high unto like squeeze the ball and everything
like that.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So man, it's it's cool for me.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Hey, as a superstar in your position, you're a young guy,
you're in the NFL, you're making big money, you're scoring
touchdowns as a player, you got to keep yourself hyped
up all the time, right, you got to be that guy.
So you got to get in your own head like
I'm the man.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I got to be the man. So when you're doing
all that and you're living this cool lifestyle, how do
you stay grounded?
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Man?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
In my faith, my faith, that's the one.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Like, you know, I'm always I'm always in my devotionals,
I'm always you know, in the Bible, I'm always just
you know, reading Bible studies, like because I feel like
that's what's taking me to new heights in my life
and to other levels in my life because I know
that I can rely on what God has for me,
and you know, it always keeps me humble. You know,
I'm never never cocky, like I'm never that guy that's
(29:23):
so great. But sometimes you have on the field you
have to be yeah. Yeah, I'm beast on the field
and spiritual. Yeah, and it brings you right back, it does.
That's so cool.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
So that's what That's what helps me out a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
And you're doing a lot of great work. I see
big brothers, big sisters tell us about it.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
So with this with this campaign, it's the Big Draft campaign.
And you know, we want ten thousand mentors for thirty
thirty thousand kids who want to draft a thousand mentors,
which is really cool. And I think it's just cool
to to have those kind of mentors. Like for me, obviously,
you guys have mentors, and you know, I've always had
mind throughout my life and my coaches and my dad,
everybody man like my mom. So I mean for these
(30:02):
kids that don't have one, you know, we need to
start now to help these kids out because it's only
going to help us in the world and help us
grow as people. But I mean, it's it's definitely been
a great opportunity to be with them and to represent them,
you know throughout my time my journey here B.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
John Robinson, big brothers and big sisters.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
You know, so many people in your business say, I
don't see this because you seem like such a cool dude.
So many people in your business retire so early, so
you know they're older guys on the field, but young
men in life.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
What do you think about after football?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, so I see you.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I could see you doing this.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
I do a lot of I do a lot of
different things, like I DJ. I've been doing the DJ
the DJ series in the NFL, so that's been pretty cool.
And then acting has been a thing that I've been
you know, dibbling in, like you know, trying to get
on these shows and have fun doing it, like little
cameos here and there. So I mean, and then I
have like this Bjon mustersend business. That's you know that
I that I have so like just three different things
that I want to continue to grow and elevate. So
(30:59):
because I always know it's important to have all this
stuff after football and to do I mean, what you
guys are doing is what I want to do as well.
So like it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Man cool.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I love it, man, J I got to ask you,
so Sunday, Big game, everyone's watching. We've talked about yappy
people at the Super Bowl party. Do you want everyone
to shut the heck up? Or do you Are you
okay with everyone yap yap yap? And during the game
commercials halftime, do you have the mindset of, like, listen,
if you're come into my house, pay attention?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Yeah, no, pay attention. Like obviously you can.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
You can cheer when when when the time is needed,
but you know, when when there's like a first and
you know, fifteen, like and they get two yards, I'm
gonna need y'all like you know, talking exactly focused. Yeah,
like but I mean obviously like you have a lot
of that, but you know, I'm not I'm not like
a yell I'm gonna yell at you because of it,
but just you know, just kind of lock.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
In, you know, lock a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeahay, continued success, No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Another guy.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You know that it's going to be terribly hard not
to root for exactly even if he plays your team.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Right. Let me hit you with this Draftking sportsbook. Yes,
not the Super Bowl prop. Give me your instinct without
thinking about it. Patrick Mahomes passing yards two hundred and
fifty and a half.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Just give me your instinct under under Danny fifteen and
a half over?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Oh really, I don't know, I tell you you know.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
A lot of this game, belut or not, I think
has to do with does Kelsey play like Kelsey?
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Should?
Speaker 6 (34:14):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
He has to be that guy again. He has to
step up and just sort of take over and be
the man. I think that's really what it comes down to.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Do you know why I picked the under on the
saquon one ten and a half. Why because Danny saw
Chris Jones at CBS.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Oh yeah, I know. I think Danny motivated him. I
heard I heard Danny give him a pep talk.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, you're going everywhere, Saquan is you are right, Chris
And He's like, yeah, let me get my toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
And Dan, you know that was I told him.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
I say, you know, you represent the AFC West and
I showed him my Raider tattoo and then and then
he socked me.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So let me ask you this before we get into
I know you had a thought about Kirk Cousins as
we get closer to Super Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
You know, people hyped up about Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
They not like us.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The most decorated song in Grammy history. Every award possibly
could win it one in the rap category. In the
main categories.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Drake loves that.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Drake is crying. You know what It's like, I said
to you, remember the movie is it euro Trip? Yeah,
Scotty doesn't know. Remember the fake rock song.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
At the beginning?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, and Matt Damon Scotty doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
That would be like if that song one rock song
of the year, And Scotty is Drake the biggest Dish
track of all time?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
And the question though now wins awards.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Will the NFL allowed the line about pedophile to stick
because they're saying, will Kendrick change it?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Will they beep it? Will they let it fly? Could
lawsuits happen?
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Like?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
That's since it's a dish track, you know, not all
the lyrics are kind. So do you think they'll let
that fly? If you're the NFL, do you say, hey, dude,
if you don't change, you gotta beep it.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
NFL is known for playing it safe, So I think
the NFL, and you know millions of families watching, will
play it safe in this case.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
If they have to be bit, they'll be on stand
by to be bit.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
And also remember rap artists do a lot of shows
where they have to do their radio versions of the song.
So he's he's well versed at being careful with his lyrics,
no doubt.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Now, Colvino a lot of NBA trades. But there's a
guy that's probably done in Atlanta and it's not be
John Robinson.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
We just saw him.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
He's got a bright future. Kirk Cousins. Yeah, we talked
to Bijon Robinson about it.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
He's just waiting on his group chat to see what happens,
and you know he finds out when we find out
on social media. But it looks like they're cutting ties
with Cousins and investing in Pennix Junior moving forward.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
You know what to remind you of that the NFL draft,
when the sentiment was like, why on earth would they
take Pennix Junior when they just gave Kirk Cousins all
that money, And a lot of people were like, you
know why because it's the NFL. You never know, Cousins
was coming back from injury, he's getting older, and you know,
the sentiment was, well, even if Cousin plays a couple
(37:03):
of years, you'll have Pennix Junior. There talk about grand
over in grand closing, like that didn't even last more
than a season. And now we're looking at all, right
in year two, here's the keys to the car, Michael
Penick Junior. And if Cousins is released, I don't think
he likes that. How much money will Kirk Cousins have
made in that contract? That contract was for how long?
(37:25):
That was a big ass contract. So Danny G did
the math.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
While you look that up, Danny G, I'll read the
statue you put up before in his thirteen year career
with NFL contracts alone. Yeah, Kirk Cousins has made two
hundred and ninety four million dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
That's just on NFL contract that's like power balls. Yeah,
that's insane.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
It's in the lottery.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
It's like he like he won the power ball. That's
the sixth highest though in active players. So that's no
chump change man. That's a lot of flow and that.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And by the way, let's remember where his career started
where he couldn't even really find a place. You know,
it was like Washington, then Minnesota, then you know he's
bounced around.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yeah, people thought he was just like a really really
good backup and take a look down, dude.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Four years one point eighty including fifty million dollars as
a signing bonus and one hundred million of that guaranteed.
So for a guy that played most of the year
but way underperformed, is that the easiest money you think
a pro athlete has ever made? Is there someone else
that comes to mind, like they sound the big deal
and they were hurt like so far, I mean, I
(38:29):
know it's an injury, but Brandon a yu signd that
big deal with the Niners got hurt like a game
into it.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
There's a lot of examples like that of like a
Jacoby Yilsbury that's signed with the Yankees, never played ever, Dude.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
Tease me now about JaMarcus Russell. Yeah, that was before
that was before the low the lower rookie salaries.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
So we like to chop it up here live from
Radio Row, New Orleans. But we're really just trying to
get you to think of those rare moments where look
works thinks most of the time, but there's every once
in a while where the gods smile on you and
you get paid to do basically nothing right. Everyone has
to have one little moment in their life where they're like,
(39:10):
that was the easiest money I ever made, Rodney Dangerfield
style some easy money and rich. I know you have
a story too that comes to mind of like, Yo,
that was the easiest payday I ever had.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Can I tell you that I think I have the answer.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's not the biggest money deal, but can you think
of guy And you're always gonna come up with guys
on your team, so part of me that it's a
met But can you think of a guy that signs
a deal and like almost didn't play, yet your team
still wasted payroll and salary on this guy.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Do you're her former Oakland A He was around the
league a little bit. Jed Lowry, I remember the name,
Remember the name Jed Lowry.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
The Mets signed him in the late twenty teens. From
what I understand as I'm reading his stats. On January tenth,
twenty nineteen, Lowry sends a two year deal with the Mets.
He was placed on the disabled list of I L
with a spring the Ultimately, in two years as a Met,
he had.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Seven at bats.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Oh yeah, he saw no field time, seven pinch hits,
no hits, no hits. Oh for six with a walk
in seven at bats. And he's had the big two
year deal.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Enigma which you turned me on to. Was it Netflix?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:27):
The ro series? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (40:30):
Remember Matt Flynn kept talking throughout the docu series. He
made more than nineteen million dollars during his NFL career,
see and he only had seven starts.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
And you know it was based on that one game,
one good game. He played the Packers as a backup
and and lit it up. And then the Seahawks signed him.
And if you remember how that story went, then they
drafted Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Russ beat him out.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
In camp, and then then he goes to the Raiders
and Derek Carr beat him out.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
In pre So yeah, that got his nineteen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I mean, there there have been times where Cavino and
I have worked really hard and haven't really got paid
for something we did, hosted an event, you know, did
something for a client, and then there's those few times
that in everyone's career, and I'm sure everyone feels the
same way.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
You can't believe you got paid, Like like there was
a there was.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
A time where I've hosted events where I've done such
minimal work, Like I just played music and made like
one announcement.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
It was a pretty nice pay day, and I remember
being like, why would they pay me this? You feel
like you're robbing you know what. That's the first thing.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
A lot of times, as radio hosts will host a
sales event and they want you to come by, and
you think that you're gonna have to speak at this event,
and sometimes you don't.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Want you to.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
He like, really, so why am I here?
Speaker 4 (41:45):
So you just want me to like walk around like
you're like a male model. Yeah, so what am I
here to do you.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Don't want you don't want me on the mic to
like at least make an announcement, say hello to the clients.
And it's like, you're basically paying us to do nothing.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
That.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Again, there's a lot of times we don't get paid
anything at all, but in those moments, it's.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Like it evens out because they Wow, they paid us
for that.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
So whatever your line of work is, I'm sure there's
an example of this because I'll give you one more.
During COVID, my wife and I we bought our house
in Los Angeles. But in order to buy that house,
we had we had a property in Texas that we sold.
That was when people were looking for houses. Inventory was low,
you know, prices were going through the roof. Our real
(42:26):
estate agent was suddening us like fruit baskets and prizes
and wine and everything.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Because they put the house on the market.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
It sold in a day because that was when the
market and he's like, listen, I've never sold the house.
I'm taking a commission. He felt guilty in the real
estate guy. He's like, oh, but he took it, Oh,
he took it, but he was he sent my wife
and I like some prizes essentially because he's like, he
didn't do anything. I did nothing, sold itself. And that's
the Kirk Cousins story. Everyone did nothing.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah he did nothing for that team, but he seems
like you're good, dude. Two hundred and ninety four million
dollars in his football career. So that's that's a lot
of button down trips and that is So what's that
story for you? You could share at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. And remember we're joined by Gary
Vee on Over Promised Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
