Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Danny g questioned, Yo, Rich, how come you're not wearing
your forty Niner shirt today? It's a holiday, And that
is an interesting question. You wait all year NFL begins
and you're not wearing your forty nine Ers gear. Is
it a game day thing or is it like, hey,
it's the kickoff today, football starts. Well, if I wore
the Niners gear today, I feel like that would be Yeah,

(00:44):
but you don't have one Niner shirt. No, but I
feel like wearing a Niner shirt today would be like
that guy that goes to the Dodgers Padres game wearing
a cub shirting.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Today is the Eagles and Cowboys? No, No, Sunday's game. No,
rewind to a year ago, the year before that. Yeah,
the Thursday night opener. We all had our NFL gear
on for the holiday. You had a Niner shirt on
last year, exactly a year.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Ago, I'm pretty sure you did. And exactly a year
ago we went to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
We watched another tradition.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
My daughter locked herself out of the house, so I
had to leave in a hurry.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, it feels like yesterday you had a forty nine
er shirt on. So what's the rule here? Should everybody
be representing it?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't know about that. No, not today? Well, yeah,
your team players, let's let's get into this.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
No more dilly dellly NFL is here tonight, lazy days
a row at a lot of points, A lot of points,
my friends, eight and a half. I I feel like
this is a ye intruders, beware, goony style, stay away.
Eight and a half is such a tricky number, you
know me. I love gambling and wagering as much as anyone.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's it's too many points for me to feel like,
oh yeah, eight and a half. The Eagles were win
by double day just because you could easily see that,
But then would you be shocked?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Divisional game opening night?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
If the Cowboys kept it closer like just it would
wouldn't be shocking. This is always surprises in the National
Football League. So to me, I look at the NFL
and say, all right, it's the Eagles Cowboys Division eight
and a half's too much. But then if you bet
the Cowboys to cover the eight and a half and
then the Eagles whoop their ass, you'd be like, oh,

(02:26):
they couldn't they let Michael Parsons go.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
This team's in disarray. Why would I do that? I
have a thought on this. I would feel stupid if
I lost either way on this bet. It's a simple thought.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I like your thought of there's always that surprise factor, right, yeah,
and they keep it close and they're better than we thought.
But I also like the thought of the Eagles are
in a different mindset, different place this year. I saw
someone ask Jalen Hurts the question and it was a
goofy question, but at the same time a good question.

(02:57):
And what I mean by that is this, I says,
ay j and he's like, what's up? He goes, do
you feel more confident this year because you're Super Bowl champions?
And he's like, yeah, man, He's like, when you get
a promotion, don't you feel more confident? And guy's like, A, well,
I haven't got one in a long time. He goes, well,
you know, we played a win, and you know I've

(03:18):
proven that I could do it, and now that we
all sort of know that we faced that reality, we
know what it takes.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, we feel a lot more confident.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, you just said, gives me no more answers, because now, Michael,
well maybe they're going over confident.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Maybe they don't.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Damn buyer, do you get a feel on this game
at all or no?

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Well, I felt better on the ego side of things
about a month ago, and then now the line moving
that way makes me think maybe it could go the
other way. I was just going to give you guys
just a couple of numbers. We've been doing the NFL
kickoff game, if you will, since two thousand and two.
There have only been six six instances where the road
team has won that game. However, two out of those

(03:55):
six have come within the last three years. And last
year you just mentioned the Ravens Chiefs game. I remember
Isaiah Likely's big toe was out of bounds. Could maybe
a tight yes, it could have been a tie game.
Maybe the Ravens go for two and win it. The
point being is the road teams have had success as
of late in this matchup, even though historically the defending

(04:16):
champion or the home team in most cases because it
hasn't always been that one year when the Packers and
Bears started the season because of the NFL's one hundredth
was a year, but the home team has usually had
the edge in this game.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
And Dan Bayer, when you think about where teams are
in December going into the playoffs in January, we always
talk about how those teams are so different than the
team you remember back in the early September. So I've
put so little stock into thinking these are the teams
we're gonna see in months from now. So to me,
I want to be shocked if the Eagles won but

(04:49):
by a touchdown, by four, and then all of a
sudden you're.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Like, that's up to eight and a halfs a lot.
But then again, if you told me it was twenty
eight to ten.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Who's stopping him? Their defense has no identity, They're like,
who are we? What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Who are you?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Got a solid, stellar, proven offense already? I think I
think they get stopped. So do you like Eagles? I
think Dallas might be ass And we'll discuss that further,
what are your thoughts might be ass Now, there's another tradition.
I feel like Dan Byer could give us the best
scoop on it. I don't know what it's called. The
six picks, the six studio picks on the laminated sheet.

(05:24):
Is there a cool name for the Fox Sports Radio
tradition that we all take part in.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
That I started that way back when?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's right? Oh, the dB Doozy I called the dB Doozy.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Is there a name for this?

Speaker 6 (05:38):
No, it's just as simple. The twenty twenty five Fox
Sports Radio NFL preseason.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Picks stay DB's Doozy, DB's Doozy Auntie laminated piece of paper.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
It looks so pretty at first, and then people started
scratching out and repicking things.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I didn't like that.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
I think we've done this for about fifteen years. Number one,
The translucent cover came in because of too many coffee
and food spills that happen unfortunately in a radio studio.
We've also had to take precautions with empty boxes because
people change their picks on week eight.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
That will look.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Differently once it is officially sealed, but we give them
up until Sunday at least week one to make their.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Predictions in the studio.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Because we haven't officially filled it out yet, but we
will make our pick. So let me describe this right now.
DB's Doozy started it.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
dB.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
He started fifteen years ago, as you heard. So we're
honored to be part of the tradition for the past
what four or five years now, Rich And it's a
piece of paper that's taped down on the console and
the other studio right there, right where Danny G and
samar and everybody here at Fox Sports picks their AFC champ,
their NFC champ, the Super Bowl champ out on a limb,

(06:51):
like what you're out on a limb, take the worst
team in the NFL and your MVP. So that's how
this goes down. And we're gonna do it. I've here
on the show because that's the show's tradition, right DANYG.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, we've been doing this for a few years now
on the kickoff of NFL's regular season.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Well, nervous because once Dan Byer laminates that paper, it's
all over.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh yeah, it's official.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
AFT.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
It's like a tattoo.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Choose wise, I know, I really am a little nervous
about it, so the go around the room, category by category,
and no, no, god, I have started of that nonsense.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
No, it's one person at a time, rich yes, oh yeah, yeah,
one person out of time. So Covino, we're going to
start with you.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't know if I'm prisoner of the moment or
hard knocks really sold me, or I believe in Josh Allen,
who I have in our guillotine league Dan Byer's league.
But they've got so much to play for.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Josh Allen has that newlywed sort of aura and confidence
about him.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
He has more to play for. And it's their last
season in the old stadium. Bills is my pick, Buffalo Bills. Man,
I just think it's their year. They've come too closed.
It's their year this year, all right.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
All right now, NFC champion, Covino.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
NFC champ. It's easy, easy, breezy, beautiful. I already said it.
They're playing with a different confidence this year. They've proven
they could do it, and I don't think there any
less oft than they were last year. Like I said,
I think the confidence in the vibe they're bringing this

(08:40):
year makes them better. So Eagles is your NFC champ. Oh,
look at you Bill's Eagles. Sometimes the obvious choice is
the is the right choice.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
And then you're Super Bowl champion.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
So I really thought about this, and as confident as
the Eagles are, sometimes, like you said, Rich, sometimes you
can be really confident. I don't subscribe to that all
the time, but I do believe in this case, the
foot's not on the gas as much as it would
be last year, and I feel like the Bills have

(09:13):
more to play for. I feel like they got what
it takes to beat the Eagles super Bowl champion, the Bills,
I know. I feel like, oh, I feel I'm trying
to sound convincing, but at the same time, I'm like, wait,
am I sure?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Am I just really buying into hard knocks?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Because you're not scratching out anything on this sheet, all
right out on a limb. Now you're surprised, all right?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
You guys can help me phrase this, okay, because it's
more of a thought.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I feel like Russell Wilson's gonna have a good season.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
But do I just simplify and say that Giants have
a winning record this year?

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
That would that be fair enough? Like it's not even
necessarily Wilson. I feel like Wilson in dark like they bind.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I feel like they have a good energy about them,
feel like they're playing with a lot of chemistry.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
So I'll just say the Giants have a winning season,
is that right?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah? Giants, to be honest with you, team that picked
fourth last year in the draft.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Right right.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
And we did some schedule watching and it seems unlikely.
But that's the add on the limb portion of it, right.
It's unlikely, but I'm add on a limb and it
is a part of me.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
I believes it your worst team in the rounds.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
I think everything about him is doo doo, including the
color of their uniform.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
No, you don't like the old dudus.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Right, And m VP, so there is a silver lining
and a shining light. Even though I picked the Eagles
to lose the Super Bowl. MVP is Saquon Barkley. So
there you have it.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Those are my picks, all.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Right, Rich Davis.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't want to say that I changed my picks
at all because of Cavino, but I had a couple
of things where I was a similar at a similar thought.
So I'm gonna mix it up a little bit because
I do love Buffalo in the a FC, but it's
so to me, it's so even between two teams, so
I'll go opposite. I think the Ravens. I think Lamar Jackson,
that team is stacked. They were an end zone drop
away from sort of moving along last year. I think

(11:07):
the Ravens and Bills of the elite. But I'm gonna
go Ravens AFC. Lamar if he's gonna win one, he's
twenty eight. I feel like he's been in the league
twenty five years. He's only twenty eight. He's in his prime.
Lamar Jackson AFC. You got the Ravens now NFC. You
might think I'm gonna be a homer and say forty
nine ers. Forty nine ers are gonna lose the NFC

(11:29):
Championship Game. Oh to the Lions. Wow, I think we
got the Lions. I hate to say it. I think
the forty nine ers are gonna over deliver. People be like, Wow,
Purty and Kittle and McCaffrey, they're the real deal. They're healthy,
they stay healthy. But I think the Lions, this is
the year they get over the hump. And now you
got the Lions Ravens in the Super Bowl. And I

(11:49):
hate to crush the feelings and hearts of all the
Lions fans out there, because it would be so beautiful
to see them win. I just think this is Lamar's year.
I think the Ravens are super Bowl champions.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Lock it in.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I mean it sounds fun. I like it.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I do again, I'm not I'm not giving you alternate
answers just to cover my base, but I love Cavino's
Giants answer. I was even gonna go on a lemon
say that they make the postseason, but my other one
is equally crazy. So I think this is the year
when you look through the divisions and you look through
what could go right and what could go wrong. A
couple of things go wrong, and I think the Chiefs

(12:27):
missed the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Whoa.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I think they're ten and seven and somehow miss on
a tiebreaker. It's gonna be one of those like remember
the year the Patriots won ten games, but they lost
a tiebreaker and they didn't make the playoffs. I think
this is one of those. Like I hate to say
it because I love them, but I think they're good guys.
But I think there's a couple of key injuries or
something happens a couple of balls that don't bounce their way.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
So you're saying that windows, I think.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I think it's just they go ten and seven or
nine and eight. They were winning team, but they somehow
are on the outside looking and so chiefs, miss do
you have the Chargers tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I have the charge.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
This is one of those things like the Chargers may
win a close game, right, you don't know?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
First team?

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeap? Who you got at the bottom?

Speaker 1 (13:10):
I gotta go Comino Browns. I was gonna say Saints,
but brown Skill Browns. But they're terrible. They're gonna be
bad all right in your MVP. I think just based
on offensive numbers alone, they'll make the postseason. Joe Burrow
I think he's gonna put up circus number. So Joe
Burrow's my MVP.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, that's fun. That's good. Yeah, there we go, lock
me in those Yeah, that's great. You got Danny g.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
All right, I'll go really quick here and then we'll
go to buyer. AFC Champ. I'm gonna go Bills. I've
been writing that in for two three seasons in a row.
Now I think it's gonna happen finally, NFC Champ. You know,
I was high on the Packers before the whole Michael
Parsons deal. Jordan Love I think is going to take
another step forward, you know what. Josh Jacobs especially, I
know what he can do. Being from the Raiders. I

(13:54):
loved how they drafted Matthew Golden.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, Golden, A lot of people think is going to
be like legit.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, I think he's gonna have a great season. I'm
gonna go the Packers as the NFC chant. So nice
super Bowl there between the Bills and the Packers. But
a lot of the same reasons as you mentioned Covino
the last season in their old stadium, watching hard knocks,
I feel like it's density that they wins. The long

(14:18):
sufferings there.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Right and that and that too, like eventually they have
to win for those nineties teams that didn't like I
feel like it's destined eventually happened.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, out on a limb. This is where I'll give
my one homer pick. Dante Thornton Junior, first receiver since
Megatron to be at least six to four or above
and run a four to three. He's turned so many
heads in camp in the preseason. I'm saying that that
rookie for the Raiders was the fourth fifth round pick.
He's going to have over one thousand receiving yards and

(14:51):
be one of the new star receivers.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Be about him, yes, okay, worst team.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I also wrote down Browns MVP Josh Allen nice about Yeah,
he's gonna light it up all season long. Newly married
swag that you've I mean, he already had swag, but
he's gonna be swaging more.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Motivating new bride, new fiance or babies, because if you
think babies, then McCaffrey and Purty are both new dads.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
No, but you know, you know, it's a great indicator.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Rich Like, let's say you got a chance to talk
to everybody at Fox Sports and everyone just praised the
Rich Davis like he makes our job so much easier.
He's the greatest guy. He's fantastic every what he does.
But when you get that sort of praise from your
peers and people you work with, it says a lot.
And when they talk about Josh Allen in Buffalo, man,

(15:39):
it's like everybody loves them. Tell you, and even even
as the players, they look at him like, yo, that's
our guy.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Man, You'm a superhero. You might be wearing your your.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Josh Allen hard knocks Bill's blinders right now, because I'll
tell you this, I would want them to win.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I picked the Ravens and I stick by it. But
if you ask me who I want to win. I
love Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I would love to see but I just think the
Ravens are if they keep it together, and and I
just think they're getting hard to beat. One of the
players on the Bills there was a scene, Danny, do
you remember this where like somehow they got Josh Allen
sweat on them. Yeah, and it was one of his player,
one of his receivers or something, right, a young like
younger player. And he's like, yo, man, I just hope

(16:21):
some of that greatness rubs off on me.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
She's like, they think they drink drinking. It's nice. They're
thinking that, like there's a lot to it.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Many just like this aura around.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
They love this dude, and it's bound to happen.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
So we'll see, all right now it is Dan Byer's turn.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
I love your guys pick so far.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
And if you had asked me this in June, I
would have had a different answer. In fact, if you
had have ask me this two weeks ago, I would
have had a different answer.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
I like a lot of your stuff.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
But in the AFC, for as much as I want
to believe in the bills fantastic storyline, the Hard Knocks,
the final season of High Mark Stadium, things don't end
well for Buffalo, and they're going to end in the
AFC Championship Game when the Denver Broncos come to town
and upset the Buffalo Bills. Denver Broncos won Super Bowl

(17:09):
fifty in Santa Clara. They'll be back there representing the
AFC in Super Bowl sixty.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's a good pick one.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
And in the NFC, I'll tell you what. There's a
lot of teams that we think we could expect great
things from, but one team that we aren't talking about
was actually talked about by Rich Davis just a little
bit ago. The only thing we say about the Lions
is they lost both of their coordinators. We're talking about Philadelphia,
We're talking about Washington, We're talking about Green Bay, we're
talking about Minnesota, we're talking about the Rams. Good or bad,

(17:39):
all of these teams, but we're not talking about Detroit,
and I think that helps them. I like the Lions
as well, the Lions are my representative in the NFC,
and in that Broncos Lions matchup much like the Bills.
Things don't end well for the Lions. The Denver Broncos
will be your Super Bowl sixty champions.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
By the way, does that not elevation the profile of
Sean Payton? If that's the case?

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Right?

Speaker 6 (18:02):
I love what they have up front. They send Nick
Benito to his extension today. I love offensively their offensive line.
I think it's a real team concept. So that's why
I'm buying into Denver.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
You know, let me make this one point. Can't argue
Dan Bayer with it doesn't end well for the Bills
and the Lions, right, it seems that way, But.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
You don't think that ever changes.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
In the Star right seebe your Bronco pick sort of
leans into the possibility of my out on a limb,
which was Chiefs maybe on the outside look at him,
what is your out on a limb?

Speaker 6 (18:35):
My out on a limb was going to come from
the AFC West, But it's more towards Covino's world. While
he loves the Giants, not everything is going to go
right for the Commanders. Commanders missed the playoffs this year.
That's my out on a limb worst team Saints. Kellen
Moore's contract shows that this year isn't worth what it is,

(18:57):
so you're not going to give him a three or
four year deal of think he got a five year deal.
Point is is this is kind of a throwaway here
for the Saints. I think they're the worst team in
the league. And I've said it, I'm just gonna pick
Joe Burrow every year until he wins an MVP, so
I'm doing it again this year. It Joe Burrow my MVP.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
That's a cool pick AFC NFC Super Bowl out on
a limb worst team and MVP. If you're going back
once you say it's official, bro, could you believe VJ. Husky?

Speaker 6 (19:27):
No?

Speaker 4 (19:28):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Oh, oh, there's Martha that you could just send it
there he wrote on the sheet VJ. Husky, But then
he insisted he.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Put a little arrow and wrote the big Vanilla Poppy
on a separate line or the same No, like making
sure we know it was him, just so you know,
all right, let's go.

Speaker 8 (19:42):
I would say now that we've confirmed that representing the
NFC in my prediction will be the LA Rams. What
the La Rams representing the AFC will be the Baltimore
Ravens should give my super Bowl pick at the end.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yes, sure about that.

Speaker 8 (20:00):
Yep, it's gonna be Rams versus the Ravens in the
Super Bowl. But my worst team's gonna be the Browns.
My out on Olympic is gonna be the Pats go
nine and eight with Mike Rabel.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
There's first?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Is that really out on a limbo?

Speaker 9 (20:12):
Sam?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
I mean, I don't know if much as expected of
the Patriots.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
I'm I don't know, and I'm not saying they make
the playoffs or not, just saying they go nine to eight.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Sam, be ballsy, say the Patriots will win the again
to the playoffs. New come on my m v P.

Speaker 7 (20:26):
C J.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Stroud of the Texans.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Now that's that's out on a limb. I that's a
good one.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
I like that, Okay.

Speaker 8 (20:33):
And then my super Bowl champion will be the Los
Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford's bad back and all the Rams
win it. Ram it all day, ram it all day.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Rams.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Huh, I'd rather hear what pick Husky trucks spot?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
What do you got? By the way, the Rams, Sam,
they are in my mind.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Uh, the one of the top few, like I don't
know teams.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
In fact, I mean jam Bayer and I.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Were having the conversation during the break that like DeVante
Adams to me is one of the top few confusing players,
like if he had twelve hundred yards or two hundred yards,
I want to be shocked either way.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
There's a lot of questions in LA, but we questioned
them last year without Aaron Donald, and.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Look at how good they were.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
They ended up winning the division quick point over under
win total for the Patriots eight and a half.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
So his out on a limb is terribly.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
It's just north of really eight and a half wins
was expected.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
So you really just picked the over Sam, congratulations, all right, spot,
you're up.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh there's much more bold prediction than that.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
All right.

Speaker 10 (21:38):
Uh, mine is going to be short and sweet with
the help of a chat ChiPT Uh. So for the AFC,
it actually rich aligns with you. We have the Baltimore
Ravens as the front runner for the AFC, and you
went to Maryland for college. You know what I always
I did, always like the Ravens turtle by yeah, little
turp turtle for the NFC.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Like Turtles, We're gonna go with the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 10 (22:00):
Okay, and obviously of the two going to the Super Bowl,
the winner will be the Baltimore Ravens. As a result,
mister Lamar Jackson will be the MVP.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
That's these are good picks.

Speaker 10 (22:13):
These are good picks.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Worst record, Rich you said?

Speaker 11 (22:17):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Would you say the Browns?

Speaker 10 (22:18):
I'm gonna go with the Saints as the worst record,
which I know where you're back up and the out
on a limb. Travis Kelsey will take the stage at
at the Super Bowl this year alongside his fiance Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Will be the halftime show. I think he'll be there,
but he'll be there but not playing.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
He will be on stage doing some sort of goofy
antics wow, alongside fiance Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I like that. There you go. That is a good one.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
All right.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
So now your thoughts, your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Fox Sports Radio Nation hit us up at eighty seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. You know, first, I was
gonna say, as we go to Dan Byer, I would
love to hear the feedback from you guys. I want
to hear you're out on a limbs. I feel like
that's my favorite category. You know it, you'd be really
risky like Sam and pick half a game over Vegas' prediction.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
But uh, let's go to dB. What you got.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
The crazy thing is is things have been so bad
in New England that it did appear on the surface
that it would be so surface lam.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Yeah, So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna stick up
for for Sam in that part.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
There are a lot of out of limbs that I
wanted to choose for things that are happening, and none
of which will probably come to fruition.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
But it'll be fun to hear what everybody thinks.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Can I ask you a question, yes, do you think
choosing a running back as MVP would be out on
a limb?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I feel like so much. I know it's rare, but
we've moved.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
You know, of a running I'm gonna let Rich finish
my sentence.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Ifquon didn't win last year, running back will never win.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yes, Ever, I know That's why I'm saying this year
because I know I understand quarterback is going to get
that that nod. But we've put so much emphasis on
the importance of running back again that maybe this year,
maybe I don't.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
Know if if Saquon doesn't win it, they figure to
work around. Give them offensive Player of the year. Give
the quarterback the MVP you have. I think you have
a better chance of a defensive player winning MVP than
you would a running back, just because of the quarterback.
Cowboys and Eagles Tonight eight twenty Eastern times kicks off
the NFL season. Some other news from the NFL, Amari

(24:15):
Cooper's calling it quits. The veteran wide receiver called Pete
Carroll this morning and said, yeah, I'm not going to
play anymore, Coach. He signed with the Raiders last week,
the team that drafted him in the first round a
decade ago.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
It's time for the tyrack player of the day.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Don't look now, but the Giants have won ten of
their last eleven.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Oh and our.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Four games behind the Mets for the NL Wildcard round.

Speaker 11 (24:42):
Oh, I know, two to two, a swing, there's a
high drive, it's way.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Back, it is goold.

Speaker 11 (24:52):
Chapman does it again? Three run blast here in this
top of the sixth inning. And then the Giants have
opened up a nine to five lead.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Can I tell you that my met fan friends are
so foolish? That they're like the Mets aren't safe. I'm like,
I get four games isn't a ton. But you know
the Giants, who everyone, they won nine of ten. I'm
relying heavily on Danny g and all the Dodgers. They
played the Dodgers seven more times. So that alone makes
me feel like, all right, I feel okay if the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Except the Dodgers are struggling right now.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, the Dodgers I think have beaten the Giants four
out of six this year, so hopefully they'll just take
care of the Giants.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
But the Giants are hot. Bay Area. I feel you.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
You're looking good and chat out to our Bay Area
affiliate AM nine sixty. I'm not rooting for your Giants,
but I'm rooting for your Niners. You want to kick
it to James and Virginia. He has a good out
on a limb. We were talking about our big picks
and then we'll go old school in a few.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
What's up, James?

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Oh, thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. Has a Thursday,
Happy NFL season?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Right?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Hell yeah, James, And I know you're a command this guy, yo.
You should have sew Camino is so calmcident. He saw
a prop bet on the screen and it was say
Quan tonight ninety four and a half yards, And Cavino's like, oh, definitely,
Like he's so commident, I think, so keep that in mind.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
What's up, man, oh Man?

Speaker 5 (26:12):
So I'm definitely taking the Chiefs and the Super Bowl.
Man until someone knocks them off. It is KC and
the AFC all the way, gotta go with commanders. For
the first time since I was a kid, I can
legitimately say they have a chance to go to a
super Bowl this year. I'm gonna take Jadon Daniels as
my MVP.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
I do believe that.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Joe Burrow definitely have a chance.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
To win the MVT.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
My two out on the limbs are I think the
Cincinnati Bengals make the AFC Championship this year. Offensive firepower
is immense, but I feel like they just got to
get their defense straight. I think my other aut on
the limb is also my worst team. I think the
Dallas Cowboys are going to be the worst team in
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
You know, I wonder if the Cowboys asks I wonder
if they are going to be asked or Now that's
that's the question.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Really, Hey, thanks for the call.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
And that's the beauty of today, right, all of these
things are a possibility.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's a clean slate.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Enjoy while you can and more of your feedback at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now we do
this every Thursday.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Look at the time.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
If there's a certain ya, what we gonna do is
go back.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School won fifty hits at fifty after CNR, give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, we get you involved together, like you said eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
But hey, give us a call. We appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Now we're celebrating some birthdays today, Rich, you love giving
birthday shout outs on Pop two K it's your girl
Beyonce's birthday. She's forty four, Queen me Reggie Jackson style,
who do you think of forty four? Forty four? And well,
forty four I went to Syracuse. That's the number given
to all the greats.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
So I would say forty four. I think of Syracuse,
I think of Reggie and we'll see if they got
forty four.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
That's why I think Tom Rathman on the forty nine ers, Well,
she's Dallas with the Colts now, and I say, biance,
what city do you think go to me? That's an
easy one, Houston right now. It's also Mike Piazza's birthday,
by the way, is a shocker to me.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
I mean, it makes sense, but it's like, damn, he's
fifty seven. He looks great too.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
I interviewed him, like, I don't know, a year and
a half, two years ago, looks fantastic. I met the
whole Piazza family, the Piazza brothers. You know how long
ago that's been, hello, five plus years since I met him.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, how do you know?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I know for a fact because you and I were
supposed to host an event together. But what does that
have to do with the price of bana? I was
giving him a compliment. Oh, you and I were supposed
to host an event together. I couldn't go because my
son was being born, and You're like.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Bro, you missed out.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
I'm hanging with Piazza, I'm having lunch, and I was like,
I was jealous. Hey, well he looked great. Yeah, like
his family owns like car company. I guess car dealship
too when I met him. Yeah, his family comes from
a long line of car dealers and with the whole family.
But Mike Piazza, gracious, dude, when you think of Piazza,
you may think of two cities. Is he a New
York guy or an LA guy? He had some giant

(29:21):
moments with the Mets after nine to eleven.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
But he was possibly offensively better as a doctor.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah, he was a favorite here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
So based on Beyonce's birthday and Piazza's birthday, Beyonce represents Houston,
Piazza represents I mean, we could fight over LA or
New York, but he's synonymous with both. When you think
back to your childhood, what athletes represent what city in
your mind? Or celebrities doesn't have to be athlete, Like
I'll give you the obvious example. Rich I think you

(29:50):
and I'll both agree when you think of Kansas City
back in the day. It might be different now, but
I think George Brett, he was part of the welcoming
committee when we were there for the first time. You know,
there's certain athletes, certain faces, certain celebrities that you just
associate with that city.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Period. So we open it up to you.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
George Brett is a great example because you're right at
the minute. I think if you say Kansas City, yeah,
people are gonna think, oh, Mahomes and Kelsey and barbecue
and this had familiars changed.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
My first thought is Sam's.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Love for Paul Rudd and all right, probably George Brett.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
So again it's gonna be different generationally, but for the
most part, like George Brett is in our wheelhouse of
growing up. That's why I think of as a kid,
who do you associate with a particular city like they
are the king of that city? Eight seven, seven ninety
nine On Fox, we go to you and we'll go
over some Week one matchups, NFL is happening, and we'll

(30:46):
get to all that next right here, Fox Sports Radio
could be no rich Now you think Beyonce, you think Houston,
what a couple piazza, You could think New York, you
could think But the best way to think about this
is to think of a city and what celebrity do
you think of first? That's really who runs? Okay, And

(31:07):
I'm sure there's multiple answers, and that's fine. And generationally
people are gonna have different opinions. But like if I say,
if I say Miami, Florida, I'm like that, that's pit
Bull territory.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
But you may think someone else. You may think of
football player, right, but that's mister three h five. I
think Dwayne Wade. Like it's not only doesn't have to
be one person. But you say Miami, know what I immediately think.
I think Dwayne Wade, I think pit Bull, I think
Glorious Stephan, I think yeah, see what I mean. So
it's a fun debate who really runs that city? You know,

(31:41):
Danny g and I were a debate in Atlanta earlier, but.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
We turn a few mimmy. I also think Anonymous Cheeks,
Oh yeah, everyday.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Butchet on South Beach or something like that. I was
gonna just throw a city up to you guys. What
about Chicago?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Man?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know, it's really funny.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Michael Jordan will be an answer, but I don't go
basketball first. In my mind, I think the late Ryan
Samberg comes to mind. I know that's the shows that
I'm a kid of the eighties. But you say Chicago,
I think, like Ryan Samberg pops in my head or
Andre Dawson. Yeah, like that, you know, what's a weird answer.
The first thing I came to mind from me was
Abe Frohman.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I don't know. I think he's the sausage king of Chicago.
The sausage cut pops in your head.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Eighty five BEARSV like his little kids. I think Walter Page.
I think there are a lot of sports figures that
we could go to. But outside of sports, I thought
Bill Murray. Yes, as far as just from yes.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
See, that's why that might be the answer, because who's
more Chicago than that?

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Sure? Right?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Like that's really what we're getting to the chora.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Like if I say Seattle, you might think Griffy, but
I also think nineties rock. I think a lot of
uh so, who would be the king? Like Chris Cornell
or something? And know what's interesting about the thought, Danny
g and I really like this. Just because a guy
played in that city doesn't mean like he's synonymous with
that city. I'll explain, like Manningly, no one was a
greater Yankee than Don Manningly, but he's like an Indiana guy.

(33:04):
He's not like a he's not a New York City guy.
Just New Yorkers loved him, right, so he wouldn't be
a good answer.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Same with your Louisiana Lightning Ron Guidry.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
As a kid, like it's like, aw, Larry Bird obviously
from the Sticks?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Do you think of him for Boston? Who for Boston?
Like Donnie Wahlberg or something? Right, like someone like who's
really Boston? Like someone like the addition is someone really
Boston Mark Wahlberg or something. It's funny would say that
because I think if you say Philly, there's so many athletes,
but I think boys to men, boys to medicine. First,

(33:38):
I thought Will Smith, Will Smith, I would say Mike Schmidt, Schmitty, Yeah,
Schmitty's what I thought before.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
That's a good one. I do. I do think that.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
And you know what, another interesting level of the thought
is we may think that, but people from Philly might
not think that, right, But we think that outside looking in,
because I imagine that people think from Jersey they're like yo,
man bon Jovi, And I'm like, yeah, I guess that's
a popular answer, but that's not what I think. That's
not how I feel. I don't know, but outside looking

(34:08):
in you might think that.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
How many people would think stallone with Philly? Oh you
know what, that's right, but I know like that just
because of because of Rocky. I think stallone.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
I pictured driving down the one o one and seeing Balboa,
which is how he got the name. So he was
driving down the one oh one where we drive every day.
He saw the street sign Balboa sounds like.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
A Rocky White Oak just didn't have the same Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Subulva Rocky, think of the city, think of the state
who runs it?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Hit us up.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Now we turn it to Fox Sports Radio Nation on
Beyonce's forty fourth Piazza's fifty seventh. They represent their city
is pretty strong.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Let's go to you. I'll give you one.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
While the Lions, we couple of us picked them to
go all the way, maybe not win the super Bowl.
But if you say Detroit, I think Eminem.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
So yeah, yeah, because he represents it so hard like.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
The Matt Barry Sanders Verry.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I think. I think Eminem and l and Trammel.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
I was gonna say, in a weird, funky way, not
above Motown, but Tom Selleck just because of the hats cool.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
They just did that Tom Selleck day at the stadium.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
You might say jetson thinking Kevin Arnold from the other
years and he doesn't run it all right? Uh, you
know what, Let's go to Andy and Reno. What's up, buddy, Andy.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Gotta turn your radio down?

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Andy, Andy, what's going on?

Speaker 12 (35:30):
What?

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Somebody?

Speaker 13 (35:32):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
You're going on right now? You are going on it?

Speaker 7 (35:37):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (35:37):
Right?

Speaker 5 (35:38):
Anyway?

Speaker 13 (35:38):
And Nevada, I am, I am been here in nineteen
eight four. I pen through a lot of generations. I
see Nick Burlton play for Nevada, I tablet play for
naps Nevada. Oh we have Mills Lane here. I know
Mills Lane.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
And he still didn't turn his right.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
He says Vegas. I think at Danny Gans. Remember he
used to run he passed a Yeah, but he used.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
To run that.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
I also think of Mills Lane. No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
If you say, if you say Vegas, that's interesting because
I will think some acts like I think of a
carra top.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Do you think of maybe Elvis even though he's not
a Vegas guy, but Viva Riva, or do you think of.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
That's I'm sorry to wait to go ahead and think,
but Elvis could be Memphis and Las Vegas, like like
how many people can claim too?

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Is? I mean that's special territory.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
It's a cool thought. So yeah, who runs that city?
Who's the face? Let's let's say you have uh and Hawaii.
Danny's face represents.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
It Old school Sammy Davis Junior for Old Vegas.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Old school Vegas. Yeah, the rat Pack. I guess your
phone calls. Let's let's say hell to our buddy in Vegas. Trip,
what's up?

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Trip?

Speaker 14 (36:54):
Hey, great day guys. I had a quick question after
tomorrow's show. Uh, Rich, do you think we can get
you a shot on the mascot with the Capitol One
and they do the commercial let.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Me tell you tomorrow. I'm going to be a mascot
tomorrow morning. And I think it's Uh. I think I
think I'm gonna do the soda pop dance like I'm
Djokovic at the US helping. I think I think I'm
really going to lean into it. I don't know it
was Capital one reference.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
But hey, for me anyway, I don't watch college commercial
right Yeah?

Speaker 14 (37:28):
Yeah, So for here obviously probably Floyd Mayweather because he's
just known for gambling and then being from Columbia, South Carolina.
George Rogers is uh. It's statues at Southside the Stadium,
our only Heisman winner you.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Know when you say Travis Kelcey and his brother Jason, right,
do you think Ohio. They've done so much for their
their town and their city that when people say Ohio,
you are thinking New Heights Kelsey bros. Or No, what
are you still thinking even though he's not there. Lebron
James is Lebron James.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Yeah, him screaming Cleveland at the time. Yeah, lungs. We'll
always go down in history. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (38:02):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
I was also tricky because there's three significant cities in there,
so it's tough to pick like one guy, especially if
they're just from from Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
I think a Dave Chappelle too.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
You know you think of Cleveland sports.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Now this is a dumb thought, but I almost feel
like I think fictional Cleveland Indians just as much as
regular Like I thought of like we sent when you
were thinking Cleveland sports, I'm like, well, you got a
wild thing, Rick Vaughan, you got Jake Taylor, you got wait,
oh those are not real guys.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah that doesn't count.

Speaker 7 (38:35):
Now.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
I think Jack Nicholas when it comes to Ohio.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
But these are these are good faces and off the air.
I alluded to this before Danny's like, what about Atlanta,
and I'm like, well, I mean, growing up outside looking in,
I'm on the East Coast, I'm in New Jersey. We
had TBS, and I always associated Atlanta with Dale Murphy
and as generational that's I played RBI Baseball as a kid.

(38:58):
He had forty four home runs on that video game.
He was the dude that I knew that represented Atlanta.
So that's where I go to. But generation someone else,
Jermaine dupri Jermaine Ludicris right like outcast. Yeah, so it
depends which generation you live in. But that's what makes
us fun, and we'll try to figure it out. Who
else do We got? Got to be a pretty cool
feeling to think those guys represent Oh yeah, that's great,

(39:22):
you know to so many. I mean, that's why it's
cool to put your city or state on the map.
Like that's that's part of the fun of making it.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
What about New Orleans?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
You know, I think of Drew Brees a little bit,
but but he's so anti what everything other thought I
have in New Orleans, Like every other thought of New
Orleans is the music, the culture and everything.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
And Drew Brees is so funny because that's exactly who
I think of too.

Speaker 6 (39:44):
I thought Harry Conneck Junior because he always does those
voiceovers for any.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
And when Katrina happened, who was there to support the city.
It was him raising money. Yeah, he's that guy. So yeah,
that's that. He's probably the real or right answer there
for our generation. But I did think Drew Brees, Yeah,
that's who I thought.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
I think a chef Emerald too. Yeah, I think that's
a good answer.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Stop laughing at him to you know.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Remember remember he welcomed Drew Brees into the city by
cooking for him.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
It's the food background. I'm totally yes.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
All right, back to the phones A seven seven ninety
nine on Fox Brian in New York.

Speaker 7 (40:26):
Hey, the ultimate has got to be Broadway Joe, Joe Namath.
I mean his nickname is Broadway Joe.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
I mean see, now you're from New York, right, generationally,
I can't argue that, right. So in his day probably,
and of course I know the legend of Joe Namath
and the swag he brings to New York and football
and how he predicted they'd win it and they did.
But for me, I don't know, Like I don't think

(40:55):
Joe Namath growing up on me.

Speaker 6 (40:56):
I think it's a good argument just because of what
he said, but it's also Nameth. There's a guy who
was born in Pennsylvania, went to school in Alabama, and
took New York by storm. So there's not even like
a roots thing with nameath which is I tells you
how big of a deal he was at the time,
right for them?

Speaker 2 (41:15):
You know that's a good one. I mean, sure, who
do you think of it?

Speaker 1 (41:17):
I'm sure it's I'm good you said, because I know
all local cities and probably radio or TV stations do
their list of like we recently saw one that s
n Y New York put out. It was your current
top ten New York athletes, and I think ever sent
And I hate to say this, being that I don't
like the Yankees since Jeter left. I don't know if
there's like a clear number one if you're in New

(41:38):
Yorker right now, Well, who's the answer, lindor Aaron Judge?
Like Brunson, Like is there, like who's Brunton?

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Was Tom? I remember?

Speaker 13 (41:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:47):
But I remember who's Like, who's who represents New York
sports right now? You know, maybe Jackson Darton five years
if things go.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
Well, Yeah, and if it was college. Rick Patino's even
got a maybe not player wise, but yeah, popularity.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Very New York.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
But certain celebrities just represent that city so hard. We
go back to your calls A seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. Uh, say hi to Rory in Washington State.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Hey Rory, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 7 (42:14):
Guys?

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (42:16):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (42:16):
Uh so, yeah, I was just gonna say what one
he already said it. But Griffy and Seattle, Uh.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
You know, he's you always, you always hear those stories
that you know, Griffy kept baseball in Seattle.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Well, if they didn't win in ninety five, they said
they were done there right now.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
They just by winning a playoff series that sort of
kept the vibe alive. I usually think of a Jay
Buner and Ken Phelps, But if you want to go Griffy,
that's fine.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Rich.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
When I say San Francisco, do you think of your Niners?
You think Montana right away, you.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Know, I I still I think uh, I think Montana
and Bonds are too, you know, and Race Arone and
Dirty here a lifetime supplying. I mean it's Leeff Curry.
I mean his golden state is the Bay Area. That
I mean is Steph.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Curry good one.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
You go to that part.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Of the country and I bet you see a hell
of a lot of Steph Curry jerseys on kids right,
brought some glory. Man, this is tougher than I thought.
Danny g to really pinpoint who runs it, because.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
We could argue about LA for a half hour. I mean,
I think ice Cube because of the beginning of the
World Series, the Dodgers bring him out as the face
of La.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
La Sports right now, Lebron James, No.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
No, I wouldn't call him the face of LA.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
I like the ice Cube. Really, that performance did solidify
his importance to LA and the culture out here.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
I wouldn't have known it was that strong, but I
saw it in my own eyes. I was there for that.
That was wild.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
And don't even dare say fat Joe for New York.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
Get out of here with that.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
So I want no part of New York Joe representing
New York.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
I think Rock Kim run dmc, big e JD.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
That rap scene. But who's the candy Spike Lee as
a super fan just I you know, but you know what.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Speaking of kidding, right, who would you say but King
of New York? The Coney photo shoot Biggie Smalls with
the crown, that that iconic hip hop photos. What Dean
tim the King of Brooklyn, the King of New York
And if you follow hip hop, you know that there
was none better. We we live in LA, but none
of us except Danny g are true Los Angeles sports fans. Yeah,

(44:22):
what do you think? Like we live here and I'm like,
is it Freddy Freemann? Is it like if you would
have put together, like hey, the local top the biggest
LA sports names right now is SAWNI Right now I
would say, oh Tani, Yeah, yeah, biggest sports name. I agree,
biggest sports. There's a language barrier and I'm not getting that.

(44:45):
I'm not getting in that conversation like how could he be?
Remember that conversation like how can you be the face
of a game when? But I'm just saying, like I
feel like Freddy that kids love Freddy Freeman.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
But they don't think no chance, I love Freddy Freeman.
He's a great guy.

Speaker 8 (44:56):
Oh tanis from southern California originally, so.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Yeah, that helps I think that helps the debate here,
right he's oh he's a California.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Could someone represents a city because they played there?

Speaker 4 (45:09):
For like eight years like that.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I think it really adds to the argument. If you're
from there, you know, you could represent like.

Speaker 8 (45:16):
Lebron's the ultimate Ohio, like from Akron played for the
Caves win a championship there.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
That's why I say some are more definitive and obvious.
Mister three Zho five Lebron.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
But again, you don't have to be from there. Where's
Piazza from.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
That's that's good. I don't even know where. Oh he asked,
he wasn't his family with Lesorta so Italy. Hold on,
let me look that up for you.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
I like him because he's a die A seven seven
ninety nine on Fox, The the King, the face of
the particular state or city, you know, whichever you discuss.

Speaker 6 (45:48):
I think I have a city, okay that we will
all say the same person okay, and I'll do I'll
say the city, let me and then think on it,
and then I'll give you a countdown.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Oh, I'll say it at the same time.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Okay, I love this spot, you too.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Sam You two Ireland, Dublin, Minneapolis one two three bucket. Wow, Prince,
Prince Prince, I said, Wow, Prince lived in Minneapolis, right
like year round, like that was his home basement.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
From there, Kirby Bottom embarrassed for them.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
Actually, yeah, I'm a little like I thought, I you know,
like I thought I knew you guys.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Is a great answer, there's no question about that. But
Puckett came to mind. But where's Puckett from? So Prince
may get the edge right because he's actually from there
where the hell.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
And cove Piazza grew up in Pennsylvania?

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Oh okay, Minneapolis one two three, Gary Anderson, I'm sorry,
Kirby puts he's from Chicago.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Ever synonymous with the Twins, he.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Won two champions eighty seven and ninety one. Yeah, so
all right, it's it's a really interesting question and it's
a fun debate that you could bring to your.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Football party tonight. Uh, Steven Louisiana.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
You know what it is.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
It's really a fun game if you think you know
the people you with. It can almost be like a
game show, like if you were partners on a game show.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Like who would they say Cincinnati?

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Like you have to match, you have to match with
your partner.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Like what will I think Cavino says Cincinnati? Is he
gonna say Icky Woods or Joe Burrow, Wait, or is
he gonna see was he gonna say Chris Sabo's goggle Like?
I mean, yeah, Ebo, Like it's a fun I think
it's a fun game to see if you can match
your buddy Danny. Maybe we have the game one day.
We we could do a little sports match game.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I would think Paul O'Neil had to run that city.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
He kicked a baseball in from the outfield in Cincinnati
from Louisiana. I think Louisiana lightning the gator Ron Gidrey.
But he may think something completely different.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
What's up, shack yel shit, what do you got man? Hey, Steve,
what's going on?

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Bro?

Speaker 12 (48:00):
So I love to show I'm from Louisiana, but I'm
from I was born in Baltimore, So I kind of
got an obvious answer. I think A one a one beat.
I gotta go with Ray Lewis and the dance and
then rip Cal ripping.

Speaker 5 (48:11):
The iron man.

Speaker 7 (48:12):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
No, I mean, honestly, that's you just defined.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
The seed that was Those are great answers, right, yeah,
but then it does make you think, well, what about
the guys that are actually from that city?

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, they won in that city.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
And they're synonymous with that city, and that's part of
the conversation. I get it, But Ron Gidgery's from Louisiana.
I think that if you could make the city forget
you're not from there, that means you must be a
ne guest star, because you're right. There's there's players on
big teams and you're like, yeah, he's not from there.

(48:49):
Like there's guys on the Mets Yankees that you could
tell like they're not New Yorkers. They're big stars, but
they're not New Yorkers. Just just really thinking about it.
We're probably thinking too hard about it, but that's what
makes it fun. So appreciate all the feedback and phone calls.
A lot of people chiming into eight seven seven ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
On fun phones are melting.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
I think what we're getting to is like, you really
don't have to be from the city to represent that city,
especially in sports and entertainment. But you know, there's a
lot of people from that city that are proud to
be from that city need represent like like Eminem, right,
Eminem's from Detroit. That's what makes it an obvious answer,
So what else comes to mind? I'm from New Jersey,

(49:28):
and I couldn't tell you. Do you think Frank Sinatra?
Do you think Bruce Springsteen bon Jovi?

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Like?

Speaker 2 (49:35):
I'm from Jersey and I don't even feel that way
to be out.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
I don't feel Sinatra Jersey.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Like feel Tony Soprano more than I feel.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
In Jersey or Sinatra. And he kind of splits both
those cities.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah, and outside looking in, you're gonna have a different opinion, right,
So it's kind of cool. But I think what happens
is you get your friends together and whatever you agree on,
that is the answer moving forward, because generationally it's going
to be different for everybody. The Minnesota one is a
good one. Two though, fran Tarkenton, Minnesota. I like the

(50:05):
game too. Just name a city one two three, I
like it. We'll do one morelready, San Diego. Oh, one
two three, Tony.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Gwin, that's the answer, I say, Steve Garvey, Tony Gwinn,
for sure. I don't know how I didn't figure that.
I get chicken, you know what.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
That's what's Tony Gwyn not getting the credit he deserves,
and he absolutely deserves it.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
All right, how did we get here? Guys? Again?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Because it's Beyonce's birthday, she's synonymous with Houston and Piazza's birthday.
He's synonymous with two cities. He's not even from. You know,
I got I got New York and La I got
one only guess it's a mid level market. My wife
is from New Bromfles, Texas, right outside of San Antonio.
Do you think Coach Pop is more of the answer

(50:55):
than any of the guys that played on his teams,
because he's just such a staple and such a great
guy for thatmmunity. Do you think when you say San Antonio,
do you think Tim Duncan because he wasn't remember he
he didn't have that charisma that other stars had.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
I would think Duncan.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Duncan though, he's still your answer Timmy, He's the guy
I would think of.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Yeah, I got one for you guys Dallas in three
two one, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
I said Dirk.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
I don't know why I got n b A. I
should have said Emmett should be the answer Emmett or Aikman.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Maybe you don't know, I don't know. Did somebody say
Jerry Jones? I said Jing from It's a good one answer.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Oh really, Wow, that's a pretty good answer, Dallas, that's
a good answer.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Spot and I are like, and that's a really good answer.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Close to each other.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
We talked Le'Veon bell Next, I'm reading our feedback on
the inshow chat. You could play along on our Fox
Sports Radio YouTube page, YouTube dot com. Slash at Covin
on Rich FSR and Gabe Moreno hit us up, and.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
He goes, can you know Jersey the situation? I bet
you there's a lot of people. I really think that right, generational.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Like Paulido has been traveling the world DJs.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Without a doubt, you know.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
And he goes, When I think of San Antonio, I'll
go along with Charles Barkley. I just think Fat Tortosorida Founders.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
And again it's generationally different. Or did he mean the sandwich? Iowa?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Sam besides you? Because I think of Iowa. Sam et
Leiot from Seattle goes Iowa. I am now conditioned to
think Sam. Like the only thing that comes to mind
for me is the band Slipnot.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
I think Kaitlyn Clark.

Speaker 8 (52:37):
Yeah, you know, Elijah Wood was born in Iowa, and
that no one thinks of that. Ashton Ashton Kutcher's future,
the game that's a good one. John Wayne was born
in Iowa. But no one knows that.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
I'm gonna go with Sam and Kaitlin Clark and Eliza.
You mean Sammy sweetheart, Sammy sweetheart? All right, so we'll
wrap it up with your phone calls, and then we
got to tell you this LaVey on Bell story because
it's almost unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
All right, Uh, say hi to Texas and Victor. What's
up Victory?

Speaker 14 (53:04):
Hey, how's it going?

Speaker 4 (53:05):
Guys?

Speaker 5 (53:05):
I was just going back to Chicago.

Speaker 14 (53:07):
I always think Mike Dicka and those bears.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
You know, it's funny Kelly bro when you when you
just said you think of Ditka when we said Michael
Jordan and Ryan Sandberg, who were naming those names, I
did think of the bear sweater. Don't you picture Ditka
and in that sweater? That's very yes, good say we
haven't been to Chicago in a minute. In a minute,
I think we do. All right, So hey, represent your city,

(53:33):
hit us up on social media. We'll take two more
phone calls. The rest of you sit back, relax, Let's
get ready for some football.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Pete in Washington State, Hey.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Pete, Hey, are you all doing?

Speaker 4 (53:43):
Man? Good man?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
What do you think you said you got one for
San Diego.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
San Diego, it's for me.

Speaker 7 (53:48):
It's Junior SEO.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
It's a good one.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Yeah, he was a face for while.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
I think he grew up in North He grew up
in North County, went to graduate Oceside High School, and
then he played with the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Yeah, you know, that's a good answer.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
I also had he was stationed there and he said
Junior Sale meant a lot to the city while he
lived there.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Am I wrong in saying obviously the sports names? But
is blinklent Ay two from San Diego? Do they just
play there?

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Don't they play? Is that I think of the wrong bend.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
I don't know who performs I read I tell you
Tommily it was it was, Yeah, they do like live
performances there. All right, Tennessee, let's go to Jacob. What's
UNEs development?

Thank you all for taking my call. This is you guys,
each and every day, y'all rock Man. Absolutely amazing show.
Thank you men. Absolutely, He had asked me earlier. When
I think of Tennessee, most people, you know, the top three,
top five, gonna put Peyton in there. But for me
being forty five, I graduated ninety eight. I've never been

(54:55):
a Peyton fan, and the reason then he couldn't get
it done. For me, it's Tim mar because T Martin
won the national championship for US the year I graduated
high school in ninety eight with fourteen to oh. So
for me, it's tem Martin.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
That's pretty cool, you know what. I We'll wrap it
up with this. You know, it's interesting you say Tennessee.

Speaker 10 (55:12):
I do.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
I go all the way back to Peyton as of all,
but then I also just think of all the girls
in cowboy hats and boots on on Broadway.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
That's really what I think of it. I think of Tennessee.

Because those are usually the people that represented the.

Heart he said, on a regular he drives on a

So join us.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Tomorrow before the end of the show.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Well it's an anniversary, Rich, and we all grew up
with it. A very famous show debuted today on this
day in nineteen seventy two, debuted syndicated. Uh yeah, well
it originally debuted in the fifties, but Bob Barker became
the host of The Price is Right, Come On Down,
and he was the host until two thousand and seven

(58:11):
when Jim Jim Carrey. When Jim Carrey took over Guys,
when Drew Carey took over, and I think everyone wanted
to play Plinko.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Everyone wants to spend the wheel, any other ones? You
want to do the mini golf one? Oh yeah, that
was great.

Speaker 4 (58:25):
My grandma wanted to kiss from them.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Now, there is a misconcepts on that Bob Barker was
the original host. He was not, but he did host
again once it was syndicated in the and he came
back seventies till like two thousand and seven. Like Rich said,
Bill Cullen was the original host, but debuted with Bob
Barker on this day all.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Those years ago.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
And the one commonality we had with that show is
that our grandparents loved it, Yes, yeah, but that we
all watched it when we were playing hooky. Yeah right,
when we call that a school. About the time The
Price Is Right was on, you started realizing I could
have probably went to school, but I'm gonna enjoy this
show right now. The Price Is Right was on. It

(59:05):
was on at eleven am Eastern where we grew up.
So you're right at eleven am you're watching The Prices
right when Grandma's babysitting you because you're sick, and you're like,
I could have went am I really, that's sick. And
my friend's playing kickball right now?

Speaker 4 (59:16):
What are they doing?

Speaker 1 (59:17):
I wish I would have went. That could have probably went.
But Price is Right is fantastic. This is a hell
of a show, Grandma, It's okay, showdown pretty sweet. So
we all loved Rod Roddy and Bob Barker and the
Price is Right. Growing up, you know those guy that
works are Ian Roddy. Yeah, and I go no joke
because we're in LA. I'm like, any relation to Rod
is that?

Speaker 9 (59:34):
Like?

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Your Grandpa's like, who's Rod Roddy? If your name's Ian Roddy,
how have you never heard of Rod Roddy?

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yeah, he was famous, right, come on down. It's just
smart of a young kid to not know Rod Roddy.
I had to show him his sequence jacket. Now here's
the Le'Veon bell tie in. That's what we did when
we played hooky when we were little.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
We didn't have a choice.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
I'm sure you have different stories as you got older, right,
former this according to well legend. Because I looked it up.
I'm like, there's no way this is real. But this
article inarticulars from bro Bible.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
But I looked it up.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
It came right up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Former NFL running back Le'Veon Bell has claimed he once
skipped the game a game while playing for the New
York Jets to instead go bowling, and he probably watched
Prices right after that. According to Bell, going bowling was
better than playing in an Adam Gase offense.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Come so he's I'm like, skipped a game? Is that possible?
It doesn't feel real?

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
And I looked at him and he came right up. So,
I mean, it's on the internet has to be real.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
A lot of this is this is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
This is worse than when you like your favorite player
you see him out golfing when he's on the IL
and you're like, he's golfing?

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Does he on the IL?

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
So? I also think of the very famous Feris Peley.
We're talking about Chicago and a proman.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
What did he do? He went to a Cubs game
and he called a foul ball?

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
So like, what did you do? What was your best
hookie moment?

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):

in Philadelphia.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):

was a famous story.
