Speaker 1 (00:02):

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

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I said, we're going to start with Joe Burrow. I
feel like everyone's talking about Philip Rivers. When do we
Dan Buyer? Is there a timeframe when we get past
this cult's weight and see mode?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Is there a press conference?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
A tweet sent out as someone on the case, like,
how do we know when they're going to say and
he's good to go?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
I think we'll find out by tomorrow on which way
they're leaning.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Doesn't have to announce a starter.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I have a feeling that if Rivers doesn't start that
he still may be active. That could also be the case,
But I think tomorrow we're going to find out word
who is actually going to start for it Indianapolis. I
don't think it'll be them taking the field against the
Seahawks and us being like, how hell.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I mean in general, though, how wildly disappointed? Will we
all be if they go with some randall.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Well, yeah, and you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
And here's the other thing is they don't want to
tell him too early because he may forget because he sold.
You know what, it's my second old joke of the
day for Philip Rivers. Thank you very much, man, so funny.
I appreciate that, you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I am not seeing a lot of though I've heard
some rumblings and I've seen it on social media a
few times. But you know, when Mike Tyson got in
the ring at fifty eight with Jake Palm, there was
a lot of concern of man, he's fifty eight. Should
they allow that. Here's a dude who hasn't played in
five years? He is forty four. No one's concerned about
this guy taking hits from these young ass dudes.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
He hasn't forty eight forty four.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I know, but he hasn't played in five years. If
that's a big part of it being game ready, you
think it's making me feel like I need, like like
I can't stop.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Forty four.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Twenty four is a young man in life. We all
know that forty four is a very young man in life.
But that's all been on the field. Especially when the
ring Russ sets in. Is there no concern for that?
There hasn't been much. He seems really positive about it.
I'm excited about it. We'll talk more about it, for sure,
because there's a lot of sour grapes when it comes
to this story too. Cam Newton's upset about it. But

(02:23):
let's talk about Joe Burrow because it's sort of interesting
what's going on with him and his Bengals, because he's
twenty nine. I love if he You say Bengals, You
just a big Susanna huff fan. Yeah, it's my shout out.
Maybe she's listening. You never know, fulfill my childhood dreams.
That look she gives he had a side eye. Ooh
Egyptian or is it eternal flame? She might be listening.

(02:49):
You never know who's listening. Richland, what a great whistler.
But Joe Burrow twenty nine years old. He's got the
world by the conus. But it seems the one thing
he doesn't have is his health. Can't stay healthy. And
the buzz is and it's obvious it's very reminiscent of
another legendary quarterback. And I remember where I was when

(03:11):
we heard Andrew Luck's retirement speech, like he called it, Donzo,
I remember being really sad by that.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I was so sad. And I'm not an Andrew Luck fan.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm not a Colts fan, but I'm a fan of
greatness and I was a fan of seeing where his
career went. You just said you remember where you were?
You like Panda Express was on the way at the mall.
I was away and I was on a trip with
my girlfriend. Yeah, I was just on a road trip
in California.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Was some weird bar. Fuck.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, And I'm at some weird bar and I'm watching
this guy with a somber speech on TV. And I
felt me welling up emotional watching this dude talking about like,
oh man, all shocks, you know, and football is my
life and uh, it's just not fun for me anymore
because he couldn't stay healthy and he had his neck beard.
I remember thinking, look his neck beard. He's a young
guy from Iron he's retiring at this guy has the world.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Ahead of him.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well, with that said, take listen, I felt it was
very reminiscent when you hear Joe Burrow saying the same
sort of thing. Take us on a Burrow and hey,
it's what we all do not just on sports radio
and podcast and know what you're doing on social media.
We do it in day to day life and in
our families. We all overanalyze what people say. Okay, can
I just post the question before we played the clip?

(04:23):
Then I'm sure you've seen it. Joe Burrow's all over
the place today. Is this retirement talk or is he
just going through it? You know, sometimes people just have
bad days, bad moods, terrible, horrible, no.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Good, very bad days.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
It could very well be he woke up on the
wrong side of the bed, had a bad season. Oh,
sort of down, sort of gloam on himself, So be thinking, Man,
I came back to a team that couldn't even like
stay afloat for me?

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Is it even worthy?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Look, we all go through little poudy moments where we
feel sorry for ourselves.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Could it be just that? And we're making a bigger
deal about it?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Like, I've never heard Joe Burrow talk this way though,
So that's why it's got people buzzing.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Is his retirement talk or is he just going through it?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
And you know what, it also proves that no matter
how cool, handsome, successful, it doesn't matter no matter how
great your hair is. I mean, the guy's got great hair.
Great hair, everyone's got problems. He's got a Victoria Secret
supermodeled girlfriend. He's one of the highest paid athletes in

(05:26):
all professional sports. On top of that, he's like a handsome,
cool guy. Like you would think, what could possibly bother
this guy? But he does seem, like you said, like
he's going through it.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
If I want to keep doing this, I have to
have fun doing it. You know, I've been through a lot, and.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
If it's not fun, then what am I.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Doing it for?

Speaker 5 (05:44):
I'm sure. I'm not sure there is a singular moment
or of time. It's just a reflection, reflection on a
lot of things that I've done and been through in
my career. I think I've been through more than most
and it's certainly not easy on the and or the body.
So it's trying if I'm doing it again.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Even Jamar Chase was taken by surprise. He was like, oh,
wes not the Joe Burrow I know and see he
always comes in with positivity and yeah, I don't know.
So when I heard Jamar Chase talking about like, that's
not the guy that I see, I'm thinking that maybe
he just had a bad day.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Here's Jamar Chase.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
He smiles every day.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Like like the narrative that y'all trying to paint on
him right now, I don't see it, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
At the end of the day, he's the same person
every day.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
He comes to work, he loves work, he loves the
guy in the locker room. So he's pretty positive to me.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
There's no ertors. We'll just ask some questions just for.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
The a little bit of nervous that's okay.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, But if you show up to your workplace, right
because it's his workplace. If I showed up on the
air and we all have bad days and I said
on the air, you know this is this isn't fun
for me anymore. Just don't feel the same way that
I used to feel about radio. So why why do
radio if I'm not having fun doing it? You know,

(07:01):
there's other things that I could do. And if I'm
not having fun, then why this Wouldn't people be like, hey, dude,
are you kidding right now? That doesn't sound like positive talk.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
You only talk like that in our pre show meeting.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, hell id they say that when I'm talking about
Rich behind his back. Dan Byer just texted me, is
he seriously no? But then come on, you would say,
you know what's up with Covino, So we have every
right to speculate that course.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I would also think that Rich Davis and maybe a
Spot would be a good example of this, because you
guys have been together for so long. Jamar Chase and
t Higgins just signed new contracts with Cincinnati, and Joe
Burrow had been a supporter of those guys getting their
new deals. Now they're locked in the deals that could
make them difficult to be traded. Where if Burrow is

(07:46):
not like I want out or I want to retire, like,
I could understand why Jamar Chase would maybe be taking
the tone that he did, because I think he's probably
wondering himself, like, wait a second, I know I'm the
highest paid receiver in the NFL, but my guy now
wants to leave when I just re upped six months.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Ago on a new deal eight months ago. Yeah, yeah,
something to be said. I mean, and keep in mind
they played together a college. Yeah, he helped him get
this huge deal. Like you said, it's it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
The whole, the whole injury stuff that you go through
from anything that we hear from athletes, like it's not
easy when you're not with the team, you're not playing,
and you're injured. And now he comes back into a
situation where basically they have to be perfect to even
make the playoffs. And if he's now saying after a
couple of games back, it looked like it was fun
playing against the Ravens on Thanksgiving, right, I mean they're
kicking the you know, kicking their butts, but very odd timing.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
You know what I'm noticing Dan that it was that
Bill's game in the snow. Honestly, he had.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
A the one he threw four touchdowns in.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
It. He had a rough, a rough fourth quarter, that
game got away, and maybe maybe there's frustration, like you said,
you like normal response would have been, though it's been
a tough year. It's been a really tough year. Like
that sort of vibe. I think there was more to it.
And what I noticed listening to that clip is it's
not as dramatic to hear it as when you see it,

(09:13):
because when you see him and you see his body language,
he looks really defeated, And I get it. Tough season,
rough season, but when you see the body language mixed
with what he said, it does it feels worse than.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
What Andrew Luck was saying.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
When Andrew Luck basically said he wasn't playing anymore and
he's not getting past these injuries. We don't know how
he feels, that's the thing. We don't know really how
he feels, and what a struggle it's been. We're not him,
we're not in his cleats. It's just not the vibe
you want to hear from your starting quarterback. And I
wish Joe Burrow the best because I feel like if

(09:46):
he were to do it, and we've seen it before,
these guys have plenty of money, They're able to walk away.
It might not be worth putting their body through all
that well just to have it happen again and again.
It becomes a pattern, becomes a routine. As Andrew Luck
described when he talked about it, it's not only the
Bengals that lose, and it's us. We lose the chance

(10:08):
to see where this guy's career goes and the greatness
he's possible of. I don't think he walks away, but
it's a positive. There's always a possibility though, When and
again I don't want to make it all about money.
But back in the day when our parents were kids,
athletes had off season jobs to make ends meet, Like
guys like Yogi Berra, you know, worked at a car
washing and you would hear stories like dry cleaner, like

(10:31):
you guys on the Dodgers.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, like you said, I own a deli too.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Now, one year, if one year of playing at fifty
to sixty million dollars, it's like, that's like winning the
mega millions are Powerball. Unless you're Odell Beckham Junior, it's
hard to survive on your head. Yeah, it's hard to
survive if you're that guy. But yeah, man, it's not
the type of talk you want to hear from any
leader in your profession and whatever you do. If I

(10:58):
was talking that way, all of you guys be like.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
What the hell's going on? What's up with this guy?

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Is he is he thinking about leaving? Am I not
the type of talk you want? He's the leader of
the team. Am I being soft by saying I sort
of feel for him because Joe Burrow is such a no,
such a competitor, And you felt the same way about
Andrew Luck. But Joe Burrow is such a competitor that
when he has these freak injuries that just seemed to
keep derailing him, when you know he's coming into a

(11:24):
new season, being like this is the year, right, I
got Higgins, I got you know, I got that case,
I got my guy signed everything, We're good, and then
just another time this goes wrong. Yes, got to be
mentally frustrating, mentally exhausting, physically exhausting. It's always an uphill battle.
And that's exactly the reason why Andrew Luck called it

(11:47):
quits early. That's exactly the reason every time it was
two step forward, five steps back, every time he got
healthy again. And that's your body trying to tell you
something like, hey man, maybe you need to dip away.
And he is a young man, he's able to make
that decision.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
All of us.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Should I say, none of us want to see that.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
No, I'm reading the insho thread. It's cool and people
are like putting names to the face like first time
I saw Dandy g I love seeing you guys do
the live stream that's from Leanne william says. If Joe
Burrow steps down, maybe it's the right thing for a
young man with money to worry about his mental health.
I mean, who am I to say? But I don't

(12:30):
think it's a mental health thing. I think it's a
man can I catch a break thing.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
To affect him mentally?

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Right, If you feel like you're not winning, and I
don't mean winning on the field, just like getting ahead
and like you keep falling backwards, everything's a struggle.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
I'm sure that does.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Play a toll or weigh a toll on his mentality
and his mentals.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
He's probably a.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Big fan, isn't Charlie Sheen a fan of all team
Cincinnati winning.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
So it's sad.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
But I think that if he was just going through it,
and that's a possibility, I think the tone would have
been a little different.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I do.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I think he really is on the fence and thinking,
like you don't say things like that at a press
conference when you know millions of people are watching it
and gonna speculate if you don't sort of mean it.
So again the question is, and does it feel like
retirement talk or is he just having a band?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
He's going through it, as you said, however, let's see.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think there's a possibility, Rich, But I don't know, Man,
I don't like the sound of it, HK black cat
hit as somebody goes, hey, listen, the guy's got options.
Joe Burrow could continue to shower with a bunch of
three hundred pounds offensive lineman, or go shower Victoria's secret
model at home when he has hundreds of millions of
dollars in the bank. So it's great and all, but
guys like that aren't that. It's winnings in their DNA.
They're the most competitive people on the planet. You think

(13:47):
you're competitive, These guys do this for a living. That's
that can you know they want to win? That conversation
is why I can never understand what people say, Oh,
teams are throwing games or players are not trying, or
like you know that team's gonna you know that this
team's gonna lose for a draft pick. My sentiment there
is always if I care to win at Rex Sunday Softball,

(14:11):
and if you play mini golf with your girlfriend and
you're trying to win. They want to be one of
the great. Guys like Joe Burrow especially want to be
one of the great. Think of you as a grown
man or woman and how competitive you are. Think of
how you even pale in comparison to the competitive level
of these people. No question if Cavino gets aggravated if
someone beats him in bowling on a Friday night when

(14:32):
we're just hanging you think Joe Burrow is pleased with
another season that sort of got away from him. But
I get that, and you know there's also a subconscious okay,
but let's they it's also a subconscious that this is
a year where the six seven, the six and seven
Chiefs have taken a step back. There's a sentiment that like, yo,

(14:52):
here was your chance. The Chiefs are stinking like Abe Lincoln.
Someone now has a path. You had a path, you
lost the against the Rams. Can you get back?

Speaker 6 (15:02):
Joe?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
We forget Burrow's the only guy that got to the
Super Bowl out of the AFC in this little Mahomes era, right,
that one off year where the Bengals beat him and
then the Bengals just fell shy in the Super Bowl
to the Rams. He's the guy that did it. This
was another little window, as you like to say, I say,
this was a window of like, oh, all right, the
Chiefs were off Buffalo doesn't seem to be what they were.

(15:24):
The ravens lamar is not the same. So when you're
sort of giving in that like man, the AFC is
going to be represented by like Bo Nicks or Drake
May Joe Burrow.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Thinking are you kidding me? This was this should have
been our path.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
I want to be clear on what I'm saying here.
I haven't heard anyone else really say this Rich because
everyone's like Man, his retirement talk.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
It feels that way.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
It does, But I do want to throw the possibility
out there that he's just having a bad moment.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
He's just going through it.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's been a tough year, but I do want to
point out again that possibility he's just going through it.
Everybody relaxed, yeah, because I'm hoping for the best. But
as a fight fan, you could feel the difference when
an older fighter or a fighter who you know just
got knocked down, or you could feel by what they say.

(16:13):
You could feel if they want to retire, they're on
the fence, or they want to move forward, right, because
it's always like back, We're going to get back to
the drawing board, get back to my camp. We're gonna
you know, we'll be back again. I'm not finished yet,
or you know, I'm want to take it day by day.
Talk to my family. That means they're they're on the
fence right like you could tell the difference. Are we
back to the drawing board and moving forward back at camp,

(16:35):
We're going to figure it out and come back better
next time. Or I got to talk to my camp,
talk to my family and see what the next move is.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
That's like whole hull attitude.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
He had whole hull attitude here, and that makes me
think that this was retirement talk. That doesn't mean it's
going to happen. I'm hoping for the best. I would
hate to see that happen, all right, So I hope
you get what we're selling here, Joe Burrow and his
You know what, can we play it one more time?
Since we're over speculating and it's what we do. However
it is Joe Burrow, it's a big star in the game.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
If I want to keep doing this, I have to
have fun doing it. You know, I've been through a
lot and if it's not fun, then what am I
doing it for. I'm not sure. I'm not sure there
is a singular moment or of time.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
It's just a.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Reflection, reflection on a lot of things. That I've done
and been through.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
In my career.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
I think I've been through more than most and it's
certainly not easy on the brain or the body. So
it's trying to have Fu'm doing it again.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, I want to hear back to the drawing board
and get him next year. I want to hear more
of that. And we didn't this time. But your thoughts,
your phone calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
and he was great. I saw him last night. He
was in a home alone and home alone two. Yeah,
handsome McCaulay culkin. They are two and a half point

(17:53):
underdogs against Baltimore. Does the outcome of that game at
all change his vibe? You think if he has winning's fun?
Like dB said on Thanksgiving night, he looked pretty happy. Hey, Rich,
We've been at jobs where it's like this isn't fun. Yeah,
we have only it's a weak ass feeling. And if

(18:17):
he's not having fun, like you really do start contemplating
like is it worth.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
It your job?

Speaker 1 (18:23):
If you love it and it's the right job, it
at times could be a really good mental escape from
from problems you're going through, Rich, And I had jobs
before where it was supposed to be fun and it
quickly stopped being fun. We'd look at each other like,
I don't know if this is worth it, man, I
just don't, man, And that's not a good place for
your quarterback to be.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
They better start winning, they better start having fun. Well, hey,
your thoughts, your feedback at eight seven, seven, nine nine.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
If I was a Bengals fan, I'd be sending like
like a like a circus clown to the to the
locker room, so like a magician, someone to bring the
fun and like osa mentalists game. I would definitely send
some sort of street performer to the locker room and
to just to lighten the mood up a little bit. Yeah, exactly,

(19:08):
Send your uncle Bosay Burrow. Make him some balloon animals man.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Mike Brown, better order pizza for the whole team. I would.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
I would call up Sebastian Maniscalco and be like, hey,
you got five minutes for this guy?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Make him laugh for something. Why would your offensive line
do that? Alred Chew embarrassed? Get something going?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, So your thoughts on Burrow, We're gonna talk
about of course, Philip Rivers. People are hyped about this.
If it doesn't happen what a letdown. By way, speaking
of bad vibes, Rich he needs to lighten his vibe up.
The Bengals need to lighten their vibe up. He needs
to have fun. Let's keep them there, Let's get that
going right. Everyone needs to start kissing his ass a
little bit, tell him how great he is. I don't

(19:51):
want to be the person, as my mom would say, making.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
A mountain out of Moihills. I don't even know what
that means.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I don't want to make a bigger deal about this
Joe Burrow thing, but I do think that it's worth speculating.
I think he was. He was saying too much, like, hey, dude,
maybe just he should stayed honked up. We've seen it
with Barry Sanders. We've seen it with Andrew Luck, not
for the same rear. Senders was thirty one. I think
Luck was twenty nine. We rose twenty nine. It's not impossible.

(20:20):
We've seen good players walk away early because it just
injuries or they weren't feeling it.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
One thing that surprises me of the timing of this.
I was looking at PFF and they have an elite
ninety three point one team pass blocking grade for the
Bengals since Burrow returned from injury, leading the NFL by
a wide margin. So yeah, it's only a couple of weeks.
But the O line actually came together since he returned, and.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
For the record, is his sixthy sixth season and he's
just dealt with injury after injury after injury.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
I have a question for you.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, is there a player that comes to mind off
the top of the dome. Maybe they played for your
team that you enjoyed, that called the day early and
you're like, what are we doing?

Speaker 6 (21:01):
Why?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I you know, I saw Patrick or just because I
mean for me, it would be Don Mattingly domatically for injury,
but uh, Jim Brown.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
I retired at twenty nine years.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I had to look up the age because I'm a big,
you know, Niners guy. As you can see if you
watch on the YouTube chat my NFL Jam Brock, pretty
shirt McCaffrey, whatl's up?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Patrick Willis thirty years old. I didn't think it was
that young.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
With Patrick Willis, who was one of the best, SAIDs,
you know, a couple of injuries got him caught up
and he called it a day at thirty, So hey,
we see it happen. I just think it's I think
he's just feeling down.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I really do.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I think Burrow, it could very well be that it
was pretty noticeable. I'll say this, but this is most
of the time, it's like, uh, yeah, you know, it's
been a tough year kind of thing. This is about
having fun, and why do things when you're not having
fun anymore? This isn't really going out on a limb
because I think everyone would agree with me. If it
happens one more time, then I think he might be like,

(22:00):
this is just not meant to be or something. But
I think it would be crazy if Joe Burrow as
talented and as young as he is and he's able
to play now. I think if if he runs it
back next year and god forbid, like in week three,
you know, hurts his knee or something, then I think
he'll be like, that's it. But I think he's got
one more Uh what do they call it? Back a college?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Try? Hurrah?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
One more Hurrah. Let's go to your phone calls and feedback.
Danny G is answering your calls and saying, what's up
At eight.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Seven, Danny G, what do you want to talk about?
N night on Fox Washington State Chris, you're on with somebuddy.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
Yeah, hey's just chiming in about the Burrow situation.

Speaker 9 (22:41):
Cavino had asked, had asked, if you remember where you
were when it happened with Luck, And it was just
before the season, and I actually had drafted him in
the sixth round of my fantasy draft, and now this
is a live draft with all my buddies.

Speaker 8 (22:55):
And then in the eighth round is when we is
when we take our break. And in the eighth round,
at our break, he announced his retirement. So everybody's busting
my chops the rest of the draft. I end up
naming my team ask out of Luck for the rest
of the year.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
You know, you got a gat name. You got to
get a great name out of it. And truthfully, it
was sad, though truthfully, I feel like you're not the
only one. I remember that being like a bottom layer
of the whole thing. Though there was a surprise he's retiring,
because I remember there were people I knew that were,
you know, higher end fantasy things like could you believe
that drifted Luck? Because he was a good fantasy player.

(23:32):
So that's that's wild, all right. Larry in Vegas, what's up?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Man, he was going on, I want to come in
on that, Joe Burrows.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
Yeah, I'm disappointed.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
I'm disappointed in you guys.

Speaker 8 (23:42):
You guys up there pondering what you did. That's like
it a chick call you and she say this relationship
with this and that, but I'm.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Not having fun anymore.

Speaker 8 (23:50):
You guys know what that means.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
When the chick call you, She's not having fun anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh, she's got she's she's already swinging from some other. Yeah.
So you are taking that right, So you're saying I
am damn right. We've been there. We've all been there.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, So Larry don't want to hear that. So what
Larry's insinuating is like he might not be done. He
might be done with the Bengals that he just wants out.
So that that's so Larry good call.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, No, absolutely with that.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Because there's been talk with the Jets and the deals
that they did in trading Sauce Gardner and then trading
Quinn Williams that they would have the ammunition with their
number one picks if someone like Burrow was available. This
has kind of been swirling in the Jets world for
about the last month or.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
So imagine that feels the need to see other teams.
Imagine having bad luck to begin, He's saying, it's not you,
it's me.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm saying it's not me, it's you.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yes, it's exactly, But imagine imagine like being like, yeah,
I'm really been down on my luck. I'm gonna change
up by going to the Jets.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, that doesn't make sense in dB. Do you think
because he got his boys paid that and he helped
him get that bag, that maybe he doesn't feel as
guilty if he leaves he should feel more guilty.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
We're going to get paid regardless, and it's the to
stay in Cincinnati for something. That's why I brought it
up earlier. Yeah, I'm sure they're kind of like, wait
a second, why did I sign the long term deal
in Cincinnati, DA?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
But they got good chili there.

Speaker 10 (25:16):
The man, Sam, I hear more jokes about Skyline Chili
than actual compliment.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I think that's really weak. I really do well.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Great insight, Larry, One last time from Daniel and Virginia.
Then we'll go to Dan Buyer for an update. Daniel,
what's going on?

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Man?

Speaker 8 (25:33):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 6 (25:34):
Guys?

Speaker 8 (25:34):
I was just calling in and talking about a player
that retired early favorite player. I mean, he's only thirty
four years old right now, he could still be dominating
the defensiveacker.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Luke Keighley was such a force.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Uh you know, oh man, you know what, there's a
sense that you can even a handful of linebackers that
were really good that I just I guess when you're
so dominant at that position, one little tweaker injury just
takes you off your game.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
And you're like, yeah, I'm just not doing it anymore.

Speaker 10 (26:02):
Man, Rich, I texted you something a former of San
Francisco forty nine or who retired after one is it
Chris Borland?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Chris Portland.

Speaker 10 (26:09):
I remember that because he was he was like a
young former Badger and was worried about CTE. So, man,
I mean, listen, it's your health, and you do what
you want with it.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
When you lose.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
When you're a dominant defender like that, like you said,
like a kickley and you lose a step. Have you
guys seen like I know he was part of your
defense in Seattle that dominated, But have you seen Wagner
like lately he just lost a step?

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Probably?

Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
If I lost a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, but it's like they even commented, like, well, when
he was with Seattle there, you know, it's a different story.
Legion to Boom Defense, such a such a position where
I think it goes quick.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
All right.

tell you about the Fox Sports Radio tirerac play of
the Day. The Falcons. Oh my god, yeah, they made

(27:50):
your dude, Baker. They made Mike Evans, they me had
everyone very upset last night.

Speaker 11 (27:54):
Snapspot kick by Gunzollars.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
It is done, Fly.

Speaker 11 (28:01):
Home safely Atlanta Wounds was the end of the game.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Twenty eight ninety two point nine, the game you got
game Falcons Radio Network.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
That was the tyrac player of the day.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Forever forty years, Tireract've been helping people find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast
and free back by that free road has a protection,
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tirack dot com
the way tire boning should be.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
I watched at the bar last night. That was rough.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
I was just trying to they pread Mike Evans looking mad,
yelling the BA yeah, by yourself at the bar. I
was at the bah, you know, just me. Boulevard had
broken dreams, Sam, this me and my Bruski.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Either you eat the BA, the bye eats you.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I so badly want to get into a lot of
the I guess you would say a lot of the
playoff scenarios over the final four games of the season.
I got to ask Dann Bayer because he's alluded to
this and he's a man of knowledge.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Man of honor, he's just the man.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
Mean, do you.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Think when you see a team like the Bucks and
they still have two games against the Panthers so last night,
not that it was irrelevant, but if they sweep the Panthers,
it doesn't matter. They win the division. Right, two of
the final three games they have are against the Panthers.
Someone's gonna win that division, like nine to eight. Meanwhile,
my Niners, your Seahawks, the Packers, the Bears. Someone's gonna

(29:26):
have to play a road game with possibly twelve or
thirteen wins at Tampa or at Carolina with nine wins.
Is that just the way the cookie crumbles? Or do
you think realignment in the playoffs is a thing?

Speaker 3 (29:39):
No, it needs to be. I harp on this on
My Sunday show. That was the thing that you Yeah,
why I ask you? Do you think it should be religned?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, Well I don't think that if you win your
division you should get a home game.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
What were the vikings last year? There were fourteen and three.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Now, ultimately the Rams game was displaced because the wildfires
out here. They'd go and play in Arizona and it's
a neutral feel. But like Minnesota and I know they
lost that game, that's not reason to be like, see,
they shouldn't. There's no way that Tampa or Carolina should
have an advantage winning your division, especially in a year
like this. Just to get into the playoffs is fine,

(30:14):
automatic berth of the playoffs. You win your division, you're in.
But to say that you hold your seed of a
four seed, so you'll have a higher seed than any
of the wild cards if you advance as far as
you need, that's ridiculous. And then just to think of
a team like the Lions right now on the outside
looking in, they've got a better record than Tampa in Carolina.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
They'll be a team in the NFC that doesn't make
the playoffs that is worse than the Panther's a bum.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yesac, Yes, so I hate it when the owners say
they want to win the they want to put value
on the division and winning the division. The value is
getting into the playoffs when you shouldn't have been, and
that's what the bonus would have been this year. I
don't think that we would have argued with that. But
to have a home game is just it's red. I'm

(31:00):
not a fan of it at all.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
The nine and four Bears, the nine and four nine ers,
you're Seahawks. There's a team that are, by the way,
ten and three. There's a team that's gonna win twelve
or thirteen games, that's gonna have to pack their bags
and go across the country down to either Tampa or
Carolina to play a team that is barely over five hundred.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
But you could argue that that's take that's yeah, it
was game the game.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's how the cookie crumbles. But you know, when I
hear Dan Byer so passionately say yeah, that's that's bunk.
Shouldn't be that way, it makes me think a little
more about it. Care about if your Yankees won ninety
eight games but then had to go up, you know,
play a road series against the team that won eighty
four games, and it's just a different I'm one of
those guys like, oh, those are the rules. Okay, I

(31:47):
guess those are the rules, yo, But that's sort of
how my mind works with that stuff. But yeah, now
I'll double double guess it. Now think about it more. Well, Hey, listen,
we're gonna talk some cowboys, an Eagle, more possibilities in
the NFC East than you think, and Covido's really getting
a kick out of this. Hall Eagles positivity Bunny. We're

(32:09):
gonna get to that. Even though the Eagles have a
winning record, vibes are bad in Philadelphia. Did like a
therapist suggest this, Like remember on ted Lasso they had
like they had like the in team therapist.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Maybe you guy should do a positivity bunny.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Eagles have installed a positivity rabbit. Bunny sounds lamer, so
let's stick with bunny positivity bunny into the locker room
to emphasize positivity and good vibes. And it's one of
those things those like inflatable, like those lawn inflatable I mean,
like the things on my lawn. I said I would
never have, and now I have two little kids, so
I have ten of them. I was gonna say that
Rich used to dump on those so hard. In fact,

(32:48):
I know a word he used to describe him every
time when you were a younger. Fella used to say,
those are the tackiest. Yeah they are tagy. Lawn inflatables
are tacky, tacky, tacky. But you know what, I have
a five year old and an eight year old, and
you give in and you're like, oh my god, and
now I'm the guy with an inflatable Santa on my launch.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
So they had a giant inflatable rabbit.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
You may have missed the story, but this is true
and it's a Goofy Easter Bunny. It looks like the
pause or like the Dudley Easter Bunny way.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Thank you, p W.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
The offensive line, the offensive line stressed that they're not
it is that this is offensive. Yeah, it is kind
of offensive. The offensive line strussed that they're not sad.
They just wanted good vibes and they had this bunny
put into the lockers and the cheesiest things could be
awesome if it's combined with winning. And of course, you know,

(33:49):
I'm going to go back to my Mets.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Because why would I not. It's me. It's me, Jeff Aka,
it's me.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Talk to a girl.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
She was part of the fun. But I mean, you're
talking about stupid grimace. I mean, but there was You're
just grasping as straw as you're looking something. You're forcing
like a moment. But people could sniff right through that.

Speaker 11 (34:12):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, the Mets might suck now, but let me tell
you this, buddy.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
It's better when talk to a girl was in the
locker room in a cage.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Two years ago when the Mets took their season of
magic all the way to the NLC against Danny's Dodgers,
that was a team that just really had a lot
of walk offs and magic and great moments.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Remember they stunk and then they turned.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
It on and they said it was because the minute
grimaced throughout the first pitch, that's when the hot streak started.
And you know what, something as corny as Grimace becomes funny,
cool in gimmicky if your team wins. Yeah, but that
was more organic, right, Like he happened to throughout the
first pitch, So they rolled with that even though it's corny,
it was a little more organic than this because this
was something that they forced upon the team. And it's like, eh, whatever,

(34:58):
you know, but Rich nailed it.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
It's about well did they win?

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Because when you're losing, those antics come back to haunt
you and people start pointing at like, oh, these moves
you're making.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
You know what, A rally monkey's cool when you win
the World Series.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
You know what, A rally monkey's not cool when you're
like the worst team in the AO West.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Angels and we're not the only one saying it now,
because even Jason Kelsey spoke about it, and if you
missed it, he sort of went off on the positivity bunny.

Speaker 12 (35:29):
It's a lot of negativity in Philadelphia, and before the
game for an eight and four team that's first in
their division then certainly looking like they're going to be
in the playoffs. I think the team was trying to
make a statement like, hey, we're we're all in on
this together. We feel like we're still the real deal. Yeah,
if I'm being honest, I don't really like the rabbit.
I think it's kind of like it's a little hokey.

(35:51):
You got to go back it up. I think they
tried it. It didn't work. You got to ditch the rabbit.
I mean, the whole thing's gotta go.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
It's gotta go.

Speaker 12 (35:57):
That's my I honestly, if I'm being very rudely honest,
I thought it was a surprise to see the rabbit
because I'm like, it's a sign of just like too
much like joking around or something that I think is like, actually,
like you should be really pissed off with the way
you're playing. It's okay to be positive, but like you know,
this is something you do when everything's rolling and you're
fricking performing.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, it's just too corny for a team that has
to get out of this funk. These things are usually again,
like you said, symbolic, like Kelsey said of a of
a good moment. Now, Spot, our video guy, is a
huge Seinfeld fan. I'm pretty sure no one I know
knows more about Seinfeld than Spot. And by the way,
it's gone this money but oh gone, I'm sure. Yeah,
just like that, Spot, would you would you?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Would?

Speaker 1 (36:38):
You almost equate this to like you can't give yourself
a nickname George Costanza.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Style can't be t bone or eight ball.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
You can't force it, can't give yourself a nickname. You
can't decide. It's like, uh, have you Have you ever
been in a meeting. I'm talking to the general you
you've been in a meeting at work. You could work
in a variety of jobs, and you'll hear some older
person at the at the meeting say, make.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
It go viral. Make it go viral. You don't choose
what goes viral.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
I said, make it.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
You know what we gotta do. That's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Make it go viral go viral. You can't force something
to go viral. You can't make something be organic. It's
either just organic or not. Yeah, so the grimmest example
you gave organic yet cheesy, gimmicky and cheese, but this
is just this is both. This is what double doozy

(37:31):
of lame. Why the Grimace the corny is thing like,
what is the what's the connection with the eagles? There
may be an inside joke that I don't know, but
that like, what's the connection the positivity buddy. The reason
I'll stick up for the corny and force, the reason
I'll stick up for the dumb grimmat thing was because
no one sought out and said, oh, Grimace, this will
be the solution. Some a fan or someone pointed out

(37:53):
in like a funny observational.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Way, like you know, ever since Grimace threw out that
first pitch.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
On like McDonald's promo there, so I never made fun
of you know, the Mets are like they won like
six in a row or eight in a row, and
it became like this organic but yeah, Grimace true again
natural when you say, oh, you know it will be
the trick.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Oh the bunny positivity bunny.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
So Jason Kelsey spoken about it, and he sort of
described it the same way we see it. I admire
the attempt to be like, well there's a problem, let's
fix it.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
But you can't.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
You can't force chemistry, you can't force vibe. Hoki. He
used the word hoki. That's a good word. Lame is
another one. Pee wee herman, thank you. Not everybody vibes
with lame things like that. This is the NFL. These
guys are putting their war paint on, they're getting fired up,
they're trying to get in his zone. No way, people,
this is NFL. I'm saying, not everybody no vibe like that.

(38:48):
I don't when the locker room is vulnerable and funny,
you see guys like rookies go up there and do
karaoke and do fun everybody.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Vibes that way. You think I want to go out
and do karaoke in front of a bunch of gun men.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
That's why everyone around here says behind your back to
you would not be a clubhouse guy.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
But that's my point. Not everybody vibes that way.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
So if I'm really like trying to get in a
mindset of yo, We're gonna go out there and we're
gonna we're gonna beat the s out of this team today, man.
And it's it's a no holds bar, the whole Colgan
sort of atmosphere. You think that bunny's gonna help me?
I don't think so. I think it's stupid the NFL
ste you want to hug the positivity, bunny.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
You want a bunny, go do that in your own
time and then go tackle.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I don't like that. I think it's corny for the NFL.
That's for like a little kids, little league team.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
I think you're corny, dude. Do you use that for
your daughter's softball team? For toddler room?

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Philadelphia Eagles badass there, there's supposed to be a badass.
You have the baddest fans in all the land. You
have goofy bunny. That's corny, dude. I'm sorry, that's how
I see it.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Oh, that said Dan Byer call Amazon stopped the order
on the FSR.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Buddy, may be too late. I might just have to
return it.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Hey, but but I at least acknowledge that you may
get down that way.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Why are you failing to acknowledge that? I don't? Okay, fine,
I acknowledge.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
So I mean I think you guys are kind of
talking about like superstitious stuff. What about stuff like remember
the Jaguars put like a wood stump in their locker
room and had an axe and then someone like had
an accident, Like, well, we can't be had an axe.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
But they did.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
What there's something like that, Like are you good with
something like that? Like this is like where it's not
as corny. Yeah, yeah, it's not as it's not as
flipant as you know.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
No, vino is a problem with dB that I do
not like during the baseball season with big baseball guys
as you know, like the Mariners with their trident, or
know the samurai helmet for the Angels, or you know,
summer than others. But I think those little things like
I find that to be team building and camaraderie. Guys
get a kick out of it. They bust chops. Yeah,
I mean, you're not little leaguers, bro, But it's a

(40:51):
grown there kid. It's a kid's game that is being played.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
By turnover chain.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Like you like turnover chain? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Do you like turnover chains?

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Do you like you know where they put the medallion?
I don't hate it.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
I don't hate it. I don't hate fun.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
And sports they have like big turn like turnover teams
and college there's teams that I'm not hating on the fun,
I just don't like the gimmicky feeling of it. And
by the way, I mean, I'm not alone. Jason Kelsey,
who played for the Eagles, feels the same way. Like
the body knows the vibe of the Eagles. I don't
think that matches the vibe. And they're trying to keep
it positive, but winning keeps things positive.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
It's stupid. Rabbit's not gonna change anything.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
If Kavino is a defender and everyone ran into the
end zone after an interception to do like a choreographed dance,
could you know it would be the one guy standing
on the side, like you guys could do it. I'm
not maybe, and it ends how I feel about it.
And if you haven't seen, won't do the ile dance.
It's a giant, inflatable, goofy looking easter. But they're dude,
they're reaching at straws, which is why I wanted to
bring this up. We're gonna get to my big TV game.

(41:47):
We're gonna get to my big TV game in a second.
But I did want to bring up where the Eagles
and Cowboys are headed. Sam hit me up with a
quick schedule watcher, because no one watches a schedule play like.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
Me, which loves to look at the schedule. Games, schedule
watch it.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Yeah, all right, Uh Cowboys Eagles. You might think, God,
this is all done. Eagles are eight and five, as
Kelsey said, likely to make the playoffs, but not necessarily so.
The Cowboys, silly rabbit. The Cowboys are six six and one.
The Eagles are eight and five. Now, the way the
Cowboys make the postseason would be simple. You have to

(42:27):
win four in a row. You win four in a row,
you're ten six and one. Right, I'm not I'm not
breaking the glass. I'm not doing any hard you know
what are they calling that with our kids, like common
core meth yep, when you draw all those little legs. Yeah,
but no, I'm not doing that. You're six six and one.
You make the playoffs. If you're ten six and one,
you sweep against the Vikings, which you should, Washington and

(42:49):
the Giants. Those are three wins. The one real big
obstacle for the Dallas Cowboys. They play the Chargers, but
that game is in Dallas and the Chargers the game
as well. So if they could get past that Chargers
team in Dallas, you win four.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
In a row.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
That's the Jerry Jones Cowboys fan dream. You're ten and six,
you're ten six in one, it's not impossible. You need
the Eagles to then go ten and seven and you
sneak in by a half a game. That means you
need the Eagles to go two and two over their
final four. One of those games the Eagles can lose
for short is at the Bills. Right so now you

(43:27):
got one l They're playing the Raiders this week, Danny
j I hate to say it, I think that is
the w for the Eagles. Right So now you got
to say to yourself, there are other two games are
against the Commanders.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Oh they're not beating Kenning Picket.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Kenny Pickett, Yes he can, Kenny Pickett, Yes he can.
It's all gonna come down in my opinion and the
opinion of many, Ken Washington. Can the Commanders force a
split with a division rival? If they do, if they
win one of the two games against the Eagles, they're

(44:02):
ten to seven, ten and seven, and the Cowboys would
be ten six and one.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
I don't see the Commanders beating the well.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Then you know what, you and Jason Kelsey and all
Eagles fans should be pumped. All right, let's get into this,
the big TV games of the week.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
You should hear my fat up, I got an extra
TV the.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Game game that I will have riches big TV game
of the week.

Speaker 6 (44:25):
It's richest big TV game of the week.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Ooh, Week fifteen.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Bro ow dude, if you don't have Philip Old main
Rivers on here, then I'm not watching with you. Well,
let's take a look at the early games. There's a
lot of bunk games that I know you're not gonna
care about. Like I said, Eagles, Raiders, No, Banks, Giants, Commanders, Nip,
Browns and Bears, uh huh, Texans and Cardinals. These are

(44:51):
at These are a lot of games where good teams
should just win and you know, just move a step
closer to the postseason. Chiefs and Chargers interesting. Not that
the Chiefs are totally dead, but the Chargers can put
a nice exclamation point on the season and be like, yo,
we're ten and four. Now we're in the toy But
that's not the big TV game, and it's certainly not
the Jags hosting the Jets, Ravens Bengals.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
That would have pizzazz had the Bengals won last week.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
But it's all about the Bills of Patriots. Bills at Patriots?
Is Drake May, no doubt, no dignity for real? Is
Josh Allen gonna go to Fox Borrow and say, you know,
I'm still Josh Allen. Did you see the pictures of
my wife Haley Steinfeld that she posted for a birthday?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
So hot? Really? So yeah, Haley Steinfeld posted some to
look them up right now? Some nice. I wouldn't say
they're not racy, but they're hot. Just google Haley Steinfeld.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
So Bills at Pats that's your TCL big TV game
of the week, that's what you Yeah, that's that's the
early big game, great game. I don't think any any
other game competes there. I think, believe it or not,
there's five games in the late window and usually the
late win is the easy one to choose. I gotta
be real, my Niners Titans. For me, as a Niners fan,

(46:06):
I don't even think it gets a big TV. I'll
just have it on my phone or iPad or something.
But that doesn't deserve the Big TV. The Niner should
win the tablet, the Niner should win by twenty. Saints
and Panthers. Nope, Wayne Man, there's three games. You tell me, Cavino,
Colts and Seahawks. You would say, yes, that might be
because Philip Rivers wins.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
That just adds to the job.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
I feel like such a gimmicky fan because the other
two games that deserve the Big TV Lions, Rams, Lions
at the Rams, and Packers at the Bronk. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Yeah, Hey, your caught. You tell us Lions, Big TV,
Lions and Rams. They're all great games, Lions and Rams.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Buddy boy, what if I told you that Philip Rivers
is starting it's official? Does that change it? I've never
done this before on my Big TV Game of the weekend.
Can I change the game mid game? Oh?

Speaker 4 (46:58):
I thought you were gonna go split screen.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
I could do that, but you know what I think,
I'm sure what I could do is say, hey, guys,
I'm gonna watch the first ten minutes. I want to
see Phllips Rivers first two drives, and then that I'll
change it. So I think you start with Philip Rivers,
but I think after that, I get you because the
intrigue is there, right, so you gotta see what's going
on Philip Rivers in the third quarter. If the Seahawks

(47:21):
are winning twenty eight to ten, worth watching. No, it's
really a matter of Packers Broncos. Do you want to
see what's going on in Mile High against Jordan Love
or do you want to see Goff Stafford run it back?
You know, another matchup on opposite teams. I think that's
the best game me personally, I'm going Packers at Broncos Procos.

(47:44):
I'm just TV because these are two teams that both
have Super Bowl hopes. I think I think the Rams
should beat up on the lines pretty good. So I'm
going Packers Broncos. That's my big TV game of the week.
And hey, let me know yours at Rich Davis at
Kobe and on Rich and coming up, we are gonna
play brain Wave. If you want in, you could win
a Coveno and Rich their football. This is last year's football.

(48:05):
We got a new one. It's choice too, so no pressure,
just a lot of fun. Are you on the same
brain wave as everyone here in the studio? Breakout seven

Boards we play next and again looking for a contestant

their football up for grabs here at Fox Sports Radio.

(48:31):
It's the game, the new game that's sweeping the nation.
We do it on Fridays. It's Brainwave.

Speaker 6 (48:37):
Do Coveno and Race really share the same brain?

Speaker 1 (48:40):
No?

Speaker 6 (48:40):
Stay Rich chatting, Chiny Rave something, Sidney, Joe, Demasure. You
is their crew not far behind. We're one. Welcome to Brainwave.
Try to make sense of the brain. It's easy.

Speaker 11 (48:53):
We dropped on sports, music and entertainment questions and if
you match with enough of these bosums, you win.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
I love that on account of three reveal brain.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Way oh one, two, three, yeah, yeah, ten yeahs.

Speaker 6 (49:10):
You're on the same wavelength right.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Now, all right the way.

Speaker 6 (49:14):
If you want to see.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
The reveals right d energy, just go to Covino and
Rich FSR on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Now play along at home.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Yes, sir, Yeah, we tailored this game for our new
YouTube channel, Happy Friday. Questions in this game are all subjective,
but you just need to try and match the brain
of our whole crew. Let's get our contestant on the
studio lines and then we're gonna explain how everything runs.
Shane was the first one through. He's in reading, California.
Hey what I'm saying all the callers? Thank you? Phones

(49:42):
have been lit all day. Shane, you know how this
game goes, right? I sure do? All right, thank you
for being a regular listener. I have five rounds ready
to go. Our contestant needs to win two of them
to be the champ and walk away with a CNR
nerve football. I'm gonna ask a sports, music or entertainment question,
and then I'll give three debatable answers to choose from
the six of us in studio. Are going to write

(50:03):
down our answers on the dry erase boards. Our contestant
has to match with four of us to win the round.
So he's got a bat six sixty seven or no
matter the caller's answer. If all six of us in
studio happen to match, then Shane, you automatically win that round.
All right, guys, already with your dry erase boards.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
This game sounds at this game's lot simpler than it sounds.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Here we go, all right, Here we go Round one.
Let's start with entertainment. Which of these movie theater concessions
goes best with popcorn M and m's an icy ooh
or sour Patch kids.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Ooh, alright, that's a good one.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Brenda and I got into a heated debate over this
last night as I was preparing the game.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Well, the key is what goes best with the popcorn? Yeah,
that's the key here. Because they're all great answers, I'd
say the three choices again.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
Eminem's an icy or sour Patch kids?

Speaker 2 (51:00):
M hm, I'm locked.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Everybody locked in?

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Yeah, locked?

Speaker 4 (51:05):
All right, and Shane, we're gonna need your answer now
on the count of three, one, two, three power oh,
he says, sour Patch kids. All right, Covenot, we start
with you.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I don't know how sour Patrick is go with popcorn
at all.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Let me Sha Shade, let me tell you that's actually brilliant.
That's funny, does it?

Speaker 1 (51:30):
I know he's said the gumminess will pull the that's yes, hack, Shane,
you're thinking on the next level. I was just over thought.
I was thinking what Covino was thinking. If you said, rich,
what do you like them? As my answer, soalur Patch kids,
But what goes to popcorn? Eminem's right and sweet? All right?

Speaker 7 (51:52):
Dan Buyer, eminems oh, three for three, so uh fy
I today I'm playing courtesy of West from Idaho via
the YouTube chat nic and he went with M and
m's cool as well salty and sweet. Come on, well,
I thought, I think of the movie theater on a

(52:13):
hot summer day and you sneak inside and you get
a cherry icycorn.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Cherry ice.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
No, that's the way to go.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
You gotta get an icy too. I feel like you
got to get the Coca Cola one.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
What'd you say? Sam?

Speaker 2 (52:28):
We were all on the same page here until Danny's
icy answer. I also said to have gone, I got
a point. Sounds like we agree with that.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
All right, we're gonna move to round two. Now, let's
go to sports. Which of these teams logos is the worst?
The Colorado Rockies, the OKC Thunder, or the l A Rams. Okay,
these are ones that are on all the lists of
works team logos. All right, So the c R for

(53:06):
the Rockies, the OKC Thunder, they did a bad job
trying to include a basketball, and then the l A Rams.
A lot of people thinks it looks like a croissant.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
All I think I think it's obvious.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
All Right, I'm gonna write my answer down. Everybody locked in, Yes,
locked all right, Shane on the count of three, one two,
three thunder?

Speaker 6 (53:27):
Who thunder?

Speaker 4 (53:29):
The thunder? Okay, and we're gonna go in reverse order
this time. Samuel L.

Speaker 10 (53:33):
Johnson, all right, I gotta got my hands working here,
I said, the thunder.

Speaker 9 (53:39):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
I you know, I like their colors, but I just
can't get over that latest logo they went with, I said,
the l A Rams. It bugs me to see that
croissant spotty boy West went with the Rockies.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I'm sorry. Logos.

Speaker 6 (53:59):
That's hates it.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Cn OUR stands for our Show. Dan Bayer, Yeah, he
hates it.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
By the way, I remember what was said about me
and Monty when we filled in for you guys, Yeah,
about six months ago.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
So it it.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
There's no way I'm going with CNR that I'm going with,
ok C Okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Rich.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Danny, It's really funny what you said about the Rams,
because I love this team's colors. It was my kids
first t ball team. I love the colors, but that
it looks like word art. The Rockies need to upgrade.

Speaker 10 (54:31):
The Rockies logo states logo.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
Is our our logo. No, No, their logo is like
on the Mountain Range with like it looks.

Speaker 6 (54:42):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
I'm going uh with Danny g and the Rams and
the most criticism. I like their colors too, and I
don't hate on it. But a lot of the criticism
was it looks like the old Internet Explorer.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
The thunder of seven different colors. There isn't really even
a lightning bolt or anything. It's just some shield. I
like that debate. All right, we're gonna go to round three.
Shane need to step it up here. Let's go to
the music category. Out of these artists who shredded on
the guitar the hardest in their prime, Eric Clapton, Prince

(55:20):
or Eddie van Halen, all right, Clapton Prince or Eddie
van Halen, Alright, I think it's not.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
I don't think it is.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
You don't think so, or you think so.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
All right, Let's let's see what uh, let's see what
Shane's gotta say.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
All right, everybody locked in yep, all right, on the
count of three, Shane one.

Speaker 11 (55:46):
Two, three, Eddie van Halen.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
Says van Halen, Covino, you are the rock god on
our show.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
That's right, and it's obviously Eddie van Halen.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
I even drew over there. Van Halen definitely okay.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
Rich.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
On our bonus podcast, Over Promised yesterday, we had Grammy
Award winner and music legend Jimmy jam and he said,
in his career, you know the guy that's made number
one records for everyone. He said, there is no better
musician he's ever met in his life, a guy that
could pick up any instrument and play it better than
that person than Prince.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
I mean, you know what, gosh am I up, yeah
you are.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
I feel that this is the people who know offense Rich,
the people that want to say Prince want to make
their music like they're like, no, it was Prince. I know,
we're trying to win a game here. We're trying to
win a game here. It's Eddie van Hamden. Yeah, we're
trying to win a game here, and so much about music.
I'm gonna say. I'm just going to say because of
that one clip that we've seen at the George Harrison

(56:50):
where he shreds it.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
So that's that's why I That's what I think.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Is hey, I hope he wins. I'm just saying I.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
Was listening to.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
Our new pal Jimmy Gamnons Spotty Boy eruption.

Speaker 4 (57:01):
Hello Helen Man, Shane, I'm sorry because even Clapton has
commented on how great Prince was with the guitar in
his hands.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
I said, Prince, you guys are trying to be smart here.
We're trying to give away a prize. Come on, what's
the tally here?

Speaker 4 (57:19):
Yeah, but he's trying to read our minds. We're not
trying to read the caller's mind.

Speaker 10 (57:23):
Van Halen, Yeah, we have, Prince, we have Okay, so
if he if I say van Halen, he gets the
point rye.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Yes, Well it's your lucky today because alright you got
one point, buddy.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
Nice. All right, Shane, you're on the board. Halfway to
see anr in our football. All right, let's go. Let's
go back to sports for round four. Prince, which of
these is the lamest sports talk topic? Oh Jordan versus
Lebron Who's on your Mount Rushmore list? Or steroid users

(57:58):
in the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Man?

Speaker 2 (58:00):
All classics? But I think there's a number one. Yeah,
me too.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
All right, let's all write our answers down. Everybody locked
in locked, Shane, we need your answer on the count
of three one.

Speaker 6 (58:16):
Two three, Jordan and Lebron.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
Is that a question? All right? We go in reverse
order this time. Samuel L.

Speaker 10 (58:25):
Johnson, all right, if I hear this topic come up,
I either doze off or turn the channel.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
I said, Jordan versus Lebron.

Speaker 4 (58:33):
All right, I also said Jordan versus Lebron, although I
gotta say the Mount Rushmore thing is a close second.
Spotty boy. Yeah, so West went with the Mount Rushmore.
I'm I'm mad at it.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
He hates it, all.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
Right, Dan Byer, Uh, not only is it number one,
it's all of the top one hundred lbj versus Jordan.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
Yes, yeah, no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Bines Johnson.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
All right, Rich, you could win if you have a
certain answer.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
I wrote down when people talk about a rally rabbit, no,
an emotional rabbit.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Jordan Lebron is obvious. It's like the worst conversation of
all time.

Speaker 6 (59:15):
We gotta wait.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
Shane and reading nice by the way, fourth on that list,
Rich talking about Grimace Shane. As soon as the shipment,
which is uh, spot you said it's almost on a d. Yeah,
it's here almost, he said, it has been shipped. So
we are waiting at as soon as the boxes and

(59:40):
boxes of these footballs, we are getting mail one out
to you there and reading thank you for playing the game.

Speaker 2 (59:45):

hosts call Anthony Vulpi the Volpedo, can I put that
one on there? Great job, great game, Danny. Let's go

dB.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Let's get into the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
Okay, we're headed into the weekend. I'm just gonna say this,
So Spot was doing it for for Wes and Idaho. Yeah,
and Cavino knows this because I brought this up with him.
As I said, six months ago, Monsy and I were
in and Wes sends us this tweet that is like
why are you talking about lane bleep NBA? And then
he tagged Caveno in it and was like, hey man,

(01:00:26):
just so you know, I turned it off, but I
showed you some love over on Turbo. So when you
brought up worst topic, I'm surprised he didn't pick NBA
because he was given.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
Monsy and me flack for it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
D never forgets, never never forgets, never forget. Like we're
taking a curve at ninety five miles per hour, let's
