Speaker 1 (00:22):
And we start today with I would say quarterback drama,
but not really. QB one has been announced. The drama's
over in Minnesota. Congratulations to Kyler Murray. He did it,
starting over JJ McCarthy. He signed that what was it
a one year deal? One point one three million, one year,
one million deal? Are still paying him thirty five mil,

(00:45):
so I mean he's doing okay. So Cardinals on the
hook for the money, gets the starting job in Minnesota.
JJ McCarthy, you know, two years removed now from being
the number ten overall pick in the NFL draft, you
know I'm going to start the season as a backup.
And as Kevin O'Connell said, what are you opening over there?
Knew disinfecting the I mean you could have focused and

(01:07):
rolled with it. I didn't know you had the attention
span of a goldfish where you couldn't concentrate, you didn't
have to acknowledge it.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Not everyone was here.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
To me was like you know when someone's chewing on
carrots and it sounds like lug nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I felt like the choirity you were trying to be
was like it's like Kuey Herman with the balloon, like
he was a little loud.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I know. Sorry anyway, Kevin O'Connell said that he showed
enough of his command of the offense to merit the
not or he showed you know by the way that
was quick, showed enough, show enough?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Who's the mask? Show enough?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
He said that he showed enough, which to me, that's
like you know, when when I'm looking for a real
sweet response from my girlfriend, like, hey, that dinner was great, right,
would you think she says it was fine? Like that's
a weak ass response like showed enough. Might as well
be like yeah, he was could at not fine? No,
that's not really that great to me. To me, he's

(02:04):
on a he's a banana peel away from sitting the
bench himself.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's I don't know. I think J. J. McCarthy's like,
right there, well, we knew he got off to a
really good start. Because if you think back, if you
flash back to the first day, Vikings had fans and
attendance at their OTAs Murray through that sweet long pass
and the I think it was a couple hundred fans
there in attendance, but they were going nuts and everyone
in the comments were like, yo, chill, it's practice. But

(02:29):
right from the jump the Vikings fans seemed excited to
have Murray in the in the back.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Dude, he's an exciting player, no diggity, no doubt. But
showed enough. And that is the quote, by the way,
showed enough. And I know him really dissecting this and
overthinking it, but like, uh, if people asked you, Danny
g had you get the job or Coadino and Rich
how the hell they get that job? They showed enough? No,
you want to hear like you earned it. You did
a great job, yo, man, you really turned some heads.

(02:57):
You're the guy like showed enough is like sounds like
you barely did enough to get that job. Kevin O'Connell's thinking,
listen to this guy dissect my words.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I really don't I don't like that.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
So he said, well, they showed enough to get it,
Like no, I want people to think I'm the best,
and that's why I got.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know, you got to pull the cramer. You know
how these pretzels are making me thirsty. These pretzels all
making me thirsty. You're just putting the emphasis on like
the wrong part of the sentence, or you're you're delivering
it like they showed enough. He showed him say it
positive show like I look at it. He's new to
the system. He showed enough already to get the nod

(03:31):
from me. Man, I look at it like a positive like, Yo,
he showed enough already, he's been there like weeks. I
look at it the exact opposite. And again that's not
to take away from the earning spot. I feel like,
if you got the job, though, should be handled and
announced with a sense of yeah, he's great, he earned it,
congratulations kind of thing. Now like yeah, you know, we

(03:53):
barely chose him. So this guy has been here for
a blink of an eye, and guess what could you know?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
He's already showed enough enough to me.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Sound like when my girlfriend says fine, Like fine, what
do you mean fine?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I mean it was great?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yo?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
What do you think of that movie that was sick right,
it was fine.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Fine.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
The only time I would have liked that is if
your girlfriend was giving you confirmation in different areas like fine,
I'm just saying like it sounds unenthusiastic, and that's my interpretation.
I'm overthinking it, rich, But that is as a guy
that looks for validation sometimes, especially when it comes to.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Your captain validation, you love hats on the back when
it comes to.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Things I take serious, like my profession, my job, my career,
Like I want to know that they think I'm the
best for the job, not like I did. Okay, I
did enough. That's how I feel about that. Doesn't our
show intro saying they're good enough? Yeah, that's my point.
That's meant to be like, yeah, they they're good enough

(04:48):
to be here. That doesn't mean like they're stealth you
do good enough.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
See, bro, I'm so.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Glad you said that, because that gets to where I'm leaning,
like enough, that intro is meant to be a condescending
sort of you know, they're here.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
People are so negative nowadays, that's not actually bad to
hear that from you.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
That means okay in the grand scheme of things. Honestly,
if you really want to dissect it, and that's the
world we live in. I don't think JJ McCarthy's that
far behind, all right, I was gonna say, I got
a pop quiz for you really quick, Rich And by
the way, Covino's getting fired up today. He just poured
himself a huge s monster energy drink. What do you
think you need that after the ranch? I already want
to need to keep up with your high berrass.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
By the way, just to you know before you tell me,
Danny Kevin O'Connell. I do like his strategy though, in
saying I want to give this team, the fans and
everyone clarity at this point. That's what he wanted to do,
and that's what he sort of promised himself, because you know,
the long you drag it on, You're right, you want
to give a clear message to everyone in that locker
room that here's the direction we're going in to start
with you again, You're right, you want to hear he's

(05:50):
our leader, he's the best we got.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
He earned it. Not it's good enough, okay, But I
don't think he's gonna say that, Covino because he still
wants JJ McCarthy to be all in. And here's why
I'm asking you this trivia question because if I'm JJ,
if you stay ready, you ain't gots to get ready.
How many games has Kyler Murray missed in the regular
season seven seasons?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Ooh, that's a good one. In seven seasons? How many
games I did the break out? My tad two or
my mister professor calculator? All right, seven seasons? And well
we'll average the average even though it's seventeen. Now we'll
do sixteen for the hell of it, one hundred and
twelve games. I bet you, Danny, he's missed over fifty games.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Wow, you went over really kill a good number. Then
let me let me I was going to ninety four
twenty eight games. Well, oh, dang ding ding ding Covino
thirty games thirty regular season games miss due to injury.
So if you are JJ McCarthy, beyond standby and.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Again it's it wasn't this battle where it was like
and you don't have one guy making fifty mil and
another guy with very little money, where it's does other
objectives like oh, we might want to play the guy
that we're paying.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
All right, Coyle part is there at a one million
dollar deal?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Essentially, and JJ McCarthy he's still on that rookie contract
two years ago top ten pick. So if anything, your
quarterback room is where you're saving money for now. So
I don't think they should be giving anyone this major
vote of confidence because it is a quarterback battle starting quarterback,
like you gotta I think you gotta lead with smoking
mirrors here and say that he's our guy and you

(07:27):
really believe in him. If they made a press announcement
about Steve Cavino and Rich Davis in the afternoons and
they went to our bosses, right, he said, of all
the shows in the nation, how did you choose Cavino
and Rich?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
And the quote wash they were good enough? They're good enough.
Would you be pumped about that? I would not be.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
What if Scott Shapiro and Don Martin they're good enough?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
But I want to think that was the biggest sneak
this of all time, Danny.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
We ended up being full time after doing what like
a summer of fillins?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Right, Yeah, they sang our what if?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
What if the boss said, Yo, they've shown they've shown
command and enough to this point that they merit.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
The not good enough.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Good enough is what's like that's the headline. That's sort
of enough. He said, he shows command.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
You know, it's in quotes, bro, and that good enough, explains,
showed command of his offense enough to merit the not well,
don't let your to me, that says, and again it's
interpretation minimum. You're the guy that says bare minimum enough.
You guys, you're the one that always says your ego
is not your amigo. So Kyler Murray should take this opportunity,

(08:38):
run with it and not worry about verbiage. However, if
you want to go back, we go back in the
Canno Rich time machine.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh boy, what what is it? August already? Jesus.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
It was months ago when Kyler Murray spoke about his
first interactions with JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Do you remember this, Danergy.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
We talked about it on the show and JJ carthy
and Kyler had a completely different impression of each other.
If you remember, Kyler went in thinking I'm the veteran,
I'll I'll help this kid, and JJ went in thinking
like we're equals. Yeah, and if you listen to the audio, Ryan,
I know you got it. Let's start with Kyler Murray,
who's new in the whole Vikings universe. And by the way, yes, veteran,

(09:21):
but only what we already said seven years in. It's
not like he's some old old Joey flak. But you know,
he's not a veteran that's proven. Now if he was
a guy that's playoff wins and you know, the guy
that's you know, been to the playoffs multiple times, Kyler
Murray was sort of a failed experiment that you know
has talent. So this was his first, I guess you
would say, first impression of JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
It's been great. It's been great. Obviously, I know he's
a younger guy, so any any way I can help him. Obviously,
I feel like, you know, I've played seven years now
going on eight, so I'm considered a veteran, even though
I don't see myself as that give him any knowledge
that he needs. Again, you know, we're both competitors and
I know you know we both won was best of
the team.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Has he been receptive to hearing?

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Of course, of course, yeah, he's he's overly acceptive, you know,
and he's he's always communicating, asking questions stuff like that.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
So it's been good.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
So Kyler's impression is like, I'm the veteran on this
young buckets, my pleasure to teach them. Meanwhile, JJ McCarthy
made it seem like they were two bros hanging.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Now, it's just like two guys in a classroom. You know.
He sits on one side, I sit on the other side.
And it's a coach's responsibility to teach us and coach us.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
So is there any awkwardness like between you two?

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Awkwardness? You know, it's just like the same feeling you
know when you're in high school and there's another person
on the other side of the room. That's just kind
of how it is. So I wouldn't say there's any awkwardness.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Until Tennessey you have a zero relationship. Well that was
that was early on.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
But hey, you know what, Minnesota, I'm curious if the
Vikings fan base, who I'd love to hear from.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
By the way, do you like the move is? Why
don't you call our boss and kiss up some more?
Let me kiss asks? Gone?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I don't know Mary could stay healthy. I think it's yeah,
he's a spark play, but is that the opportunity Danny?
And now we saw Sam Darnold not only get an opportunity,
but like do the unimaginable for the Seahawks last year
we saw Baker Mayfield. After that, amazing spots start with
the Rams have a whole new beginning and some great
years now in Tampa.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
We said it on our show back when the Vikings
first got him rich I remember us saying that it
was almost like a one year tryout. And you know
what he could do with it, what he will, what
you do with it, what he wants. And apparently it's
the best sizable gap.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
If we want to go over the full story, they
say that McCarthy showed incremental progress this summer, but couldn't
close the sizeable gap that already existed with Mury.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Like Murray's more of a talent. There's no question there
at all. And remember, speaking of injuries, JJ missed a
lot of time due to his own injury. And he's younger. Yeah,
still got time. I'm still learning. Yeah, there was twenty
three for reference. There were further comments from O'Connell. By
the way, he said, he's talking about Murray here. He's
got the skill set and the abilities, not only just

(12:02):
from the standpoint of accuracy and his ability to affect
the game with his athleticism, but he's also proven to
be smart, hardworking and be able to take in a
lot of the information and churn that out. Now, we
really want to give him the opportunity to really start
building a comfort level, not only with the system but
with the guys. He's shown enough. He's shown enough. So
that's the update.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Congratulations, Kyler Murray is your QB one for the Minnesota
Vikings eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Not surprised those are?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
They said, a significant gap, incremental sizeable gap. If you're
a fan of that big gap, yeah, mine the game,
mine the gap. But so if you're a Vikings fan,
remember yesterday we actually said that NFC North is interesting
to begin with if Kyler Murray does surprise people. I
mean that team because Kevin O'Connell's the quarterback whisperer, right,

(12:56):
you know, Kyler Murray's more.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Star power too, though, be honest, I think that matter.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
McCarthy was for a minute with his eye makeup, eye paint,
and you know when he was with Harbad Michigan. You know,
we think fans you get more excited though about it,
Kyler Murray. If you're a Vikings fan, This is a
very low risk, high reward, very similar to you know
how I feel about Debo on the Niners, Like one year,
five million guaranteed, Like if yeah, shoot your shot, roll

(13:21):
the dice.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I think Kyler Murray is a good opportunity.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Especially when you're competing against Jordan Love and Lafleur, who's
going to be coaching for his job. Let's be honest,
He's one of those guys that if they don't turn
a corner this year, there might be people in Green
Bay saying it might be time to move on from Lafleur,
if if they just can't get to that next level.
Chicago with Kayleb Williams and Ben Johnson last year they
looked as like, yo, big step.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
This year, maybe a bigger step.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
And we're forgetting about Dan Campbell and that Lion's team
who really came into their rown in the last couple
of years. That's a really tough division, really a tough division.
So you know, for Minnesota to compete, they need to
be decisive. And that decisive, decisive move was made and said, hey,
it's Kyler Murray's team right now. Yeah, that's basically it.
So that's the news there and it just gets you

(14:07):
more fired up for the NFL season. Rich, Do you
like thee I started by the way I started Hard
Knocks last night? Do you like when they I was going,
I was going to tonight the night you got to
start quarter That's nice that one of you watching.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Tonight tonight, Danny last night.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
My wife didn't even watch quarter But these Cornermack, I'm
saying hard Knocks.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Hard Knocks is only one episode. Again, the second episode
is on tonight, Hard Knocks. So that's why I said,
I don't see.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
A lot if all the Kyler Murray talk and all
the NFL talk that we get to doesn't doesn't do
the trick hard Knocks does.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
You're way off. You're way behind on cute on Quarterback
on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I'll watch you know what I was thinking about doing,
maybe not here, but you know we do other jobs
serious x M podcast, so you know we're doing many things.
I feel like I need a day to be like
I'm taking off of everything and just telling my kids
and wife like leave me alone and just go in
like the office of the bedroom or something and just
lay down and watch what I want to watch. Does
every dad fantasize about that, like, everyone just leave me alone.

(15:07):
Isaac's give me the nod. I know I'm reading his mind.
You go away, you go away, you go sounds like
a rich problem. It's this Bastian Maniscalco routine where he's like,
what is.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
It with the man caves? Right, you don't need a
man here. My dad had a man cave. It was
called the house, meaning you're the king of your domain. Right,
beat it.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
But what I'm saying is watching quarterbacks every day when
there's games and practice and baseball and flag football and
back to school last night, it's very hard by the time,
when when everyone's winding down at the end of the night.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's why do you think I got time to binge
the quarterback? I want to.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I want to, which is why I honestly want to
tell everyone to beat it. I'm a single, divorced dad,
so I'm not saying that your hands. No, no, no,
I'm not saying I don't have the answers. But that's
where divide and conquer comes in.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
You got to be it.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Back to school night, you nerd. You have to go,
your wife can't go, and you like kids teachers, so
I can watch you.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Joe Burrow. It's a bad excuse that you had time
to watch that stupid thing doink or dink whatever it
was you watched. You watched the entire series of Hawk,
which was horrible. Yeah, you like because he's a golfer
and by the way, we all make them choices. But wife,
you shame home and do that. You're picking weak ass

(16:28):
shows to.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Watch, and now you got to catch up tonight. Hard Knocks.
It's really great. Sam Darnold throwing dimes just seeing their story.
Who's number eight price? This kid's looking quick, dude, So
you got to check it out. And yeah, we're getting
fired up about it. So you know, if your baseball
team's out of it, I feel like something else to

(16:49):
focus on. Quarterback and Hard Knocks I'm assuming I'm guessing correctly,
assuming done by different production companies, ones on HBO, ones
on Netflix. What are they done in a simple would
you say, quality wise?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Similar way?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Because Hard Knocks is narrated by Leeb Schreiber, it's got
that that twenty four to seven.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, it feels like, you know, not that show, not
that bad one. I'm watching Hawky, Sorry, not that one. Yeah, No,
Hard Knocks feels a tier like in the top tier.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hard Knocks, you're following the training camp. Okay, so I'm
just saying, like, but but there is something about the private,
detailed life of the quarterbacks and when they did Receiver,
I like, I think Netflix does a hell of a
job too on that job. Yea, it's just it's just different.
It's I'll tell I'll tell you the quarterbacks. I've watched both,
not this season, but i've both tonight, Guys. I think
the biggest difference to me is watching something that's sort

(17:44):
of happening versus happened. Like when I watched Receiver last year, Danny,
it re kept the Niners when they lost, and the
whole time I know how it's gonna end.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hard Knocks, you're sort of watching.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
The stories unfold, like you're like a week behind real time, right, Yeah,
that Hard Knocks you. There's something a little little cooler
about that to me. Yeah, it's sort of in real time.
They're in training camp as the show goes on. Uh
so they're turning that out episode two tonight we go
you haven't watched it too, And yes, Rich is right,
school does start tomorrow here on the West Coast. So

(18:21):
it was like a back to school night last night.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Here for la.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
What that means the kids are going to go to
sleep early tonight, So tonight might be the night. Yeah
look at that. But yeah, congratulations to Kyler Murray.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
He showed enough.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
He got the starting gig sort of by default because
JJ McCarthy didn't seem ready. They said sizeable gap difference.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Imagine I finally sit down to watch these shows and
that's my wife gives me the little wink, like, hey, like,
I can't, honey, I promised Danny I would watch quarterback.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
You can do both at the same time. Now you're talking,
you're rich. Rich is like, I'm so resistible, irresistible that
I might get a wink tonight, Honey, I hadn't. Oh,
Flacco is calling me. I know we have a lot
of affiliates in Arizona. Let me ask you a Cardinals question,
because we obviously just saw them in the Hall of
Fame game. You guys were prisoners of the moment with

(19:10):
Carson Beck. Everybody I'm a fan of I loved watching
him in college.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
We had a great time at that stadium cave, you know,
and I've been there. Cardinal fans are great people. Good,
good fan base. But I did say yesterday and I
can't take it back. I said they are the ass
of the NFC.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Really right, Well, you were asking Vikings fans to call in,
and you're wondering how Vikings fans are feeling today. I
wonder how Cardinals fans feel because no more Kyler Murray
and they potentially are going to have a tall pocket
passer in Carson Beck, so the complete opposite of Murray.
And I'm thinking that for Cardinals fans it's probably going
to be refreshing. But here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
If you have Carson Beck, new coach, new vibe, knew
everything in Arizona, do you.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Wish Kyler Murray the best?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Or you're like, yes, that guy, because that's you know,
like when you're in a relationship, and you're in a relationship,
like things are going to be different this time, be
like I've seen it all, I know what this relationship
is going to be. It's not gonna be different. That's
how do you feel about Kyler Murray? However, he could
be a different guy in Minnesota. But I'm saying I
think it also depends system. If some girl breaks your heart,
you don't necessarily root for her next relationship. But if

(20:14):
you guys broke up amicably or you did the breaking up,
you're probably thinking, I want her to be happy.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
I hope she meets a good Kyler Murray could step
on and be the man he's saying.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Like to me, I watched Pete Alonso as a Mets fan,
and I hope he slays it in Baltimore. I saw
you got a two home run games, first multi home
run game for the Orioles the other day.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I'm like, wait to go, polar Bear. My point is,
now leaves your team.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
What he was gonna do with the Cardinals, I don't
think that was gonna change. That's that's all I was
saying with that. And I don't think they wish him
anything bad.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
For both of those teams, last place teams, no matter what.
I don't think.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
So.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I think the Cardinals are going to surprise them.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
The Cardinals gonna who are they gonna jump over the
Niners or Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, hey, I'm not saying they're a playoff team, but
I think they're beat a last place team. Okay, but
how many wins do you think they're gonna be? Yeah, Hey,
there's a difference, right, Yeah, there's there's teams that are
ascending exactly, and there's teams that are going the wrong direction.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Dude, I'm not even saying my Niners are old.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
They are.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
He got their aar P cards, all of them, whole
team forty nine ers are old, but they're really good
on paper if they stay healthy. The Rams a super
Bowl favorite, and the Seahawks are your defending champs. The
Cardinals has to play six games against those three teams.
One could argue they're lucky if they are one in
five in those six games. You make fun of those

(21:29):
a ar P cards. But they offered me a trunk organizer.
If I signed up trunk or I be free with
the car.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
That sounds like a hell of a deal.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
You laugh now, But when you see how organized my
trunk looks, I'm not looking at.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Vegas. Vegas only has the Cardinals with a total of
three and a half wins. Do you know why? Do
you know why?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
By the way, Wes hits us up. Wes from Idaho,
He goes, Carson Beck's going to be a problem. Is
that a good thing or a bad thing? Carson Beck
is going to be a problem. Does he mean, like
he's going to be a problem for the team or
a problem in the league. I like Carson Beck only
because I've made fun of him being goofy for a while,
and you know, he did show, he did show, you know,

(22:15):
some signs of leadership.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
And then I just saw Rich pulling up the Cardinals' schedule.
You can only be so good if you're a QB
in the NFL. Hold on, now, let's do this. Rich
loves to look at the schedule game to watch it.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
So we're about to find out the Cardinals record. It's
it's NFL season, which means who loves to look ahead
of the schedule more than I do? Actually, I went
from hating this to actually enjoy it. All right, let's
see how bad Cardinals are going to I mean, the reality,
Danny is that some people like to live in the
moment week to week. You know, players, you know, one
game at a time. Me, I'm looking like, who are

(22:52):
they playing Week eight? I'm already I'm calculated. Let's look
at the Cardinals, who are favored in Vegas to maybe
hit four wins, three and a half. As you're over under,
I'm gonna I'm gonna be very honest, let's go. We
start the season in Los Angeles, you mean against the
Lovebird Justin Herbert, that guy's in love, got the hottest

(23:12):
girl in the biz. And Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel,
Oh my god, their own one.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Carson Beck is gonna upset them for a week one now.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
That now they're playing the defending champions Seahawks. There's always one,
always in two. Who's next week? The Seahawks get out
of here, then they go to the forty at forty
nine ers, Oh, win three.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Definitely gonna upset your Niners. And then you go they
always play your Diners, and then you go. Then you
go across the country to play the Giants. Oh and four,
then you play the Lions. Oh and five, you play
the Rams, oh and six, you play the Broncos. Oh
and seven, you play at the Cowboys and eight. You're not.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
They gotta win something there going to Vegas right now
the Giants, even though it's so far out, because you
could do those futures bets, the Giants are seven and
a half point favorites in that game.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Okay, so owen what we're at oh and seven?

Speaker 1 (24:08):
At nine, Oh my god, Seahawks again, and ten Rams again,
oh and ten chiefs, oh and eleven commanders.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
This doesn't make any sense because last week on the show,
you were saying Carson Beck was gonna shock the world,
all right, not only we got it.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Remember Colin Cowherd was like, he looks like a bona
fide starting quarterback.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Get this.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Sucker, this team, and they played the Raiders, and they
played the Niners, they played the Saints and the Jets,
and get this, According to Las Vegas, I found this.
I found this out by scrolling. Now, Isaac Lohancron, hold
on to your hat. No, I do feel like there's
a flaw here. Hold onto your hat. He wears that
water buffalo hat like he's from the Flintstones. He wears

(24:57):
a Nikolai Volkov hat. Isaac Longcron, Isaac, get a load
of this, buddy boy. The Cardinals, if you go by
point spreads, are underdogs in all seventeen games they play.
Vegas would tell you they're gonna go oh and seventeen
if there's not an upset underdogs. That's why there are

(25:18):
underdogs to the Jets. They're underdogs to the Saints and
the Raiders, which we talked about how you.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Guys aren't even underdogs to the Jets.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I know, but the composure we saw visible composure and
poise from Carson Beck, So I don't I don't necessarily
buy into it. Oh and seventeen, Nonna, I'll be generous.
Two and fifteen wrong, man, I'll tell you what if

(25:46):
we don't get you fired up. These new pictures of
Wade Bogs will oh like he's on the peptides for sure.
He's definitely on some rogan stackers. I'm on a new workout.
People have been asking me, like, kaven Man, what do
you want. I'm like, nah, No, a new program called
Body by Bogs. Yeah, I think it's kind of working.

(26:06):
The fact that he got the hair done like years ago, yeah, man,
he could have been a you know, not to be mean.
He could have been like an old bald, fat guy.
And instead he's got a full head of hair and
he's ripped. He just needs a head transplant. Now we'll
explain Wade Bogs in the news. Major props though, I'm
being serious about that, Plus big Poppy threevia. We have
some baseball trivia prizes to give away. Speaking of baseball,

(26:29):
your boy sanga's in the news.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I want to throw something out there.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
You know, when you were a kid and it started
raining and pouring, and you know, Cavino was snoring, and
there would always be someone that's like, dude, be careful.
You don't want to get strict by lightning. And that
was always like a thing like you know, and games
do get evacuated at times when there's big storms. Did
you see the video of this dude on the golf

(26:53):
course that's not real? Tell me about it, dude, Danny,
I'm telling you I shot on like a real source.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Did you not as well? Yeah? I had to double
check it. It's supposed to.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
As our video producer Spot said, rest in peace to
phrase photoshop. Remember back in the days ago, it's photoshop.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
We poured one out for photoshop.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah good, I photoshop over done, aid Ai. You have
to double triple check. There's a dude that's making fun
of his buddy. He's like under a tree in the
rain on a golf course and he's making fun of
his buddy whose golf cart is sort of stuck.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
In the mud.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Then all of a sudden, like you see in slow motion,
because they saw them in the video he gets struck
by lightning.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
He lived, He's.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Good, but he lost feeling in his limbs for a
little while. But dude gets struck by lightning while filming
his friend making fun of his buddy. I'm pretty certain
it's real, mate, real sources carried it. I hope it's fake,
so we could play this back and laugh at you,
though I hope not. But hey should I snoops it
when he asked Jeeves about it.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
All I will, I will.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
All right, So we're Covino and Rich's Fox Sports Radio.
We're giving away prizes like we always do, bribing listeners,
one listener at a time, one friend at a time,
getting you fired up for football again.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Hard Knocks new episode tonight. But the big announcement of
the day is Kyler Murray is starting for the Vikings.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, I mean, I know, Beck look good in that
preseason game, and it's gonna be a much improved team,
but they're scheduled so hard that when Danny and Ilo said, yeah,
like three and a half wins in Vegas over under,
I think it's gonna be the under. I think it
could be a two and fifteen team, and that two
is very generous. They are underdogs in all seventeen of

(28:34):
their games, even against Danny, your Raiders, the Jets, and
the Saints. They are favored zero point zero times this year.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I want to make a bet that they don't go
on to seventeen. I bet you they go. I bet
you they go over the Vegas win texts. I bet
you they don't. And you know how you think? You think?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I like what you're saying, But do you think over
three and a hal weeks saw Carson Beck. He looks solid.
I know his preseason the backups on the Panthers. But
I'm telling you that our feedback too, it's not what
you were saying. Yeah, our listeners are very knowledgeable. We
came in super pumped about it. Uh, everyone that watched
the game where was impressed by this dude's performance. So

(29:14):
the feedback Fred Warner's pretty good. Put Fred Warner's spine
on him. You think that's the same outcome, daddy?

Speaker 2 (29:23):
This is this is good feedback here.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
This is from I'm not saying, oh seventeen, I said,
I think under VX nine says Beck is really really good.
They may surprise you. Rich Their defense is due too.
There's a lot of potential there, so give it time.
Guess it was good when they were really really young.
Peyton Manning and like there's growing pains, been to your room,

(29:46):
not Ellen fant growing pins? Rest in peace? Are there
any Boners pins?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Good one? I do think that this is a two
win at tops team. Look at their schedule. I don't
want to go over it all again.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
But not only do they have to play the nine
er C and Rams twice each, they have to play
the AFC West, which means Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers. They're gonna
get their ass whooped on a week to week basis.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
It's fair.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
It's fair, you know, based on what we know right now.
And the reason we even bring up the Cardinals is
because again of Kyler Murray and his new adventures in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Not the best part about.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Preseason football when we talk about it, as we go
to ILove for an update in a second, the best
part about preseason football in the preseason of the NFL,
you could make an argument for eighty I would say
eighty five percent of the teams, like you know, they
can make a run, make the playoffs because you know
the parody in the league that it warrants that conversation.
There's only a couple teams where you like. They're still
far away. I mean, you know, like no offense, Danny.

(30:45):
I love your Raiders of what they have. They're one
of the few teams that you like. Not yet, but
if they did, you want to be like baffled.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, but again, the Cardinals just need four wins to
for you to hit the over. I bet you they
have a four win season.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Look at the schedule again, tell me where those four
wins come from. As I go to Ilo, Ilo, what's
doing buddy, Hey.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Fellas, And for those of you watching on the stream,
I'm excited to debut a new look right now. I've
been working out and hopefully seeing the fruits of it. Anyway,
so you I'm at weed Bogs workout. It's really interesting
because what can I say? I think the results speak
for themselves. Unfortunately, the Wade Boggs Tanning strategy leaves much

(31:29):
to be desired. Busy day in the NFL, the Minnesota
Vikings named Kyler Murray their starting quarterback. JJ McCarthy, their
first round pick two years ago, will serve as the backup.
Murray will be the Viking's fourth different opening day starting
quarterback in the last four years, staying in the NFC.
North Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson announced that newly
signed safety Kobe Bryant is expected him as four to

(31:52):
six months after undergoing knee surgery. Brian injured his knee
a week ago and was initially expected to be out
for eight to ten weeks. Brian signed a three year,
forty million dollar deal with the Bears after winning a
Super Bowl with the Seahawks last season. Los Angeles Rams
held pass rusher Miles Garrett out of today's joint practice
with the Cowboys because of a knee issue. Receiver Pukin

(32:13):
Nakua left practice with an undisclosed injury. In Major League Baseball,
the Los Angeles Angels fired pitching coach Mike Maddox. The
NBA announced that the defending champion New York Knicks will
host Lebron James and the Philadelphia seventy six Ers on
opening night October twentieth. James and the Sixers will visit
his former team, the Lakers on Christmas Day. Back to
Cavino and Goldfish, I mean Cavino and Rich hey Lo

(32:36):
and Krine.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
The kron is here or was that weed box body
by boss. Yeah, let me ask you this, Yeah, JJ McCarthy.
If you remember the devastating injury before the kid even
got a chance to play, remember that.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Like he was like, oh man for real?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
And he was you know, so he was like Hansel
so hot right now coming off of that national championship
which in harbaughd Michigan. Then he doesn't play come back.
I don't want to put you guys on the spot,
but how many games do you think he played last year?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
It wasn't even half five, right, yeah, it was less
than half the season, says here, played in ten games,
ten and he was he was six and four in
those games, eleven tuddies, twelve picks. So for a rookie
that's on par you know you're gonna you're gonna get
your picks out of the way rookie year. So interesting
spot for him to know that he came off of

(33:25):
ten starts in a winning campaign essentially six and four,
right that you're on pace for about ten wins in
the NFL with that and just will not move along.
He is going to be a backup quarterback. But you're right,
Kyler Murray. So injury prone that who knows.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Right the goats here.

Speaker 7 (33:45):
I have a podcast empire. It continues to grow and
I have brought it here to iHeart. I'm also doing

we talked about the Cardinals and I think two wins
will be where we sit at.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, you're I feel like you're wrong because you're going
down their schedule saying loss lost lost lost lost, riches
is being cute.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
There are underdogs in all seventeen games, and Danny.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
No, I had looked up. I had to look this up, though,
rich How many upsets do we average per week in
the NFL during the regular season last year?

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Where the underdog beats the favorite in Vegas each week?
Remember when Danny G's Raiders beat the Patriots to start
the season.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
You don't think there's a.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Few of those, so I the only winnable games they
have are against like the Raiders, Jets, Saints, like they
play the Cardinals played their tough division, and then all
their AFC games A lot of them come out of
the AFC West.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
So they have to play. Then even the best teams,
even the best teams in the NFL, have a clunker
during the regular season two wins and lose to one
of those types of teams like the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Two wins if you're lucky. Hey, maybe Richards right now?
The other team, Danny, Ryan, dare I schedule watch one
more second?

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Do you mind? Let's do it? I mean I want
to go to the NFC North, shall we? The rich
loves to look at the schedule, game chedule, watch it?
Eight and a half wins? Don't you think once an
hour is enough? Eight and a half the Vikings?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Because I figure if we're going to talk about these
two teams, Vikings and Cardinals. Where they sit after the
Kyler Marto Kyler Murray is eight half quarterback of the
Vikings as of today. Yeah, eight and a half wins,
which is I mean exactly five hundred. They're predicted they
are the quintessential five hundred team in the NFL eight
and a half. Do you think they'll go nine to
eight or eight to nine like they are predicted to
be five hundred on the dot? So you tell me

(37:39):
over under, if you want to start with the regular season,
you got to tell me do you think the Vikings
match up against their division?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Like?

Speaker 1 (37:45):
All right, they play the Packers in Minnesota. That's owen
one to me, always a sluggy You go to you
go to Chicago, oh and two you play you play
the Bucks. What do you say there, your boy Baker?
I always give Baker the edge in the beginning of
the season. And three, now he'll be all bangedo Dolphins.
You're at least one in two there, one and two,

(38:06):
and then you go the Dolphins two and two.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, that's that's more reasonable.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Okay, Saints three and two, Colts four and two, three
and three, are you going, We'll go three and three?
All right, Lions, three and four, Bills, three and five, Packers.
I'm gonna say you split. So now I'm going four
and five, Niners, four and six, Panthers, five and six, Patriots,

(38:32):
five and seven.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Lions. Again, you're gonna split with them? Maybe they split six.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
And seven Commanders, seven and seven, Jets, eight and seven,
Bears eight and eight, and oh my god, what do
we miss We missed one? So they are essentially a
five hundred team. I just the way the seventeenth game win.
But they are, my goodness, the definition of five hundred.
Now I have to figure out where the schedule are
you reading? I don't know what game you missed, but

(38:57):
the Bears were on there twice too. I think we're
a little generous kind of schedule watching sort of. We
got more next where you talk some NBA and I
gotta figure out what mystery game I missed? More Cavino
Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio and Action
Packed Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Let's go Fox Sports Radio on a Taco Tuesday. We
just guessing.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
But the most fun educated way you try, you know,
you do, you do your homework. But and if Rich
didn't get to your favorite team yet.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Don't worry. It'll be coming up and he'll be wrong
about their schedule, no doubt for sure. Dan.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Waitistically enough, Cavino's like, you know, what Vegas does is
just really a more calculated, ai educated version of what
we just did. Yeah, because and they're usually pretty accurate.
You look, you look at a schedule and you're really
just taking guesses based on little glimpses of what you're seeing,
based on the past as well, and you know the
vibe of the teams right and how good they're going

(39:52):
to be, and some will surprise you and some won't.
But you got a pretty decent understand you know what
the best part of preseason football is, well a knowing
that the real c for every but yeah, the real
seasons coming soon to start, and his hope for all
And there was months and months for all your banged
up players to get healthy, so no one's really dealing
with the injury bug quite yet, knock on woods. So
you're sort of like you have this weird, like optimistic

(40:14):
cool hope.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, like that's the start of everything.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Like you know, because you remember the teams that were
three and fourteen and made the playoffs the next year,
or the teams that were in like the AFC or
NFC championship and divisional round that pooped the bed the
next year and all of a sudden they stink, so
that the fun is like no one knows, not called
pooping the bed. It's called a grumpy grumpy Remember the
Johnny Depp story?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
I do you remember the Johnny story?

Speaker 6 (40:37):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (40:38):
You know what else is a common theme this preseason,
this training camp. We see it on Hard Knocks, and
I'm so excited for episode two tonight is how the
at practice, how the offense is fighting with the defense.
We talked about the Chiefs were talking about the Raiders
and Max Crosby and Cousins and yeah, we get it.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
You know, tension is high. You have a lot to prove,
but man, they're going at it in Seattle. So we
tried to decide yesterday is that friction or fire? Is
that the fire you want to see or is that
the friction that you don't want? I don't though yesterday,
you know, after we were on you know we got
the odd couple, and I was talking to Ephraim. Yeah,
he said, you don't want that, and he's just stay

(41:18):
away from the quarter. He's like, yo, you know he
comes from an offensive lineman background, and he's like, Yo,
that happens in camp amongst your own team. He goes,
Then all of a sudden, the offensive line is strategized
and y know, we got to get him back. And
then the defense is thinking that now you're fighting with
your own team, and he's like, that's a no no,
like goes Max Crosby is intense, but you don't go
pushing around Kirk Cousins. It's funny too, because what they're

(41:38):
preaching and we're talking about a championship caliber team the
Seahawks on hard knocks is what makes a team a
championship team is the camaraderie, is the trust that they
have in each other, right, and the love and family
that they create as an organization.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yet they're at each other's throat.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Man, it's been a common theme or maybe or maybe
all of a sudden, the narrative comes out that Kirk
Cousins and Crows me and now like best friends, and
that was like a moment of maybe respect.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Remember it didn't hug it out. And the one the
one thing I would say about that, like because it
kind of reminds me of Rudy.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
But if it's remember the Titans moment where all of
a sudden, now everyone loves the y.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
That was your example yesterday. But remember when Rudy was
going too hard in practice and the big lineman shoved
him down and he's like, I'm just trying to help
you prepare for what was a Purdue or something. That's
kind of what it's like. I mean, their teammates at
the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
So Rennick said Crosby simply bullying cousins. But you see
it firsthand on Hard Knocks, And I'm excited for episode two.
So hey, if we didn't do our job getting you ready,
you'll enjoy that tonight on HBO Max.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Does everyone have one.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Player on their team that, whether it's a rookie or
a new acquisition, that you're like, Oh, I can't wait
to see if this is a nothing burger or a
big impact player.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah, who's that?

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Fr Raiders, Dan, I mean obviously men those in the obvious.
Is there any like maybe maybe how your offense runs
with a new well has different shit in like a
better shape too this year?

Speaker 2 (43:03):
You know, they're the linebackers everybody's making noise about Nakobe
Dean and he's the new leader of the defense in
the middle of the field. That's going to be fun
to watch. And then one draft pick, Hezekaiah Masses. They
say that this kid, he's out a cow. He's been
turning heads at camp. So pay attention to that name.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Cavino, you're saying on hard knocks as a receiver a
player on the Saint Rice. Yeah, he's this quick running
back that they're using like a receiver's just so far.
Again in practice, it's all different. And they said it
a million times on the show, and that's just help
pull is everything's different when you put the pants on
and you really start hitting. So you never you never
know how that translates moving forward. Is it just my
forty nine ers algorithm or Yo Kron Danny g You guys,

(43:44):
you guys seen any buzz that Stribbling might be the
best wide receiver on the field. There's something like forty
nine ers buzz that he's playing out of his mind,
you know, third third round pick. Remember, people thought, oh,
the Niners got him too soon, or other people were
saying like he's like underrated, like one of the best
receivers in the draft out of old Miss.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I love his first name, Dejon. Is that how you
say it has got a z in it? I think, uh,
DeShawn Orjon like a like a mustard.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
I think it's great pupon But let me tell you
it's it's really fun when you see those young players
and you're like, again, the season could start. It's like
one catcher nine yards and you go that was nothing, or.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Some young kid could light it up. And that's just
a whole other layer.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Of what makes the NFL so fun because every year
there's gonna be someone that disappoints in, someone that over over,
you know, overdoes it. But look out tonight. Jadarian Price
is the dude on the Seahawks that they're hyping up
a lot. All right, So I'm Cavino. That is Rich Davis,
Danny g the Raiders fan. We got sixty Ryan on

(44:49):
the ones and twos, big Poppy, stop and buy in
a few minutes. But we made several references toward it,
so we got to bring it up and address it. NBA,
are you ready for that? I thought maybe that. I
thought Boggsy, Oh you know, go to bog I mean
if you want. I want it like a quick hit,
because you.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Could hit the NBA schedule after Poppy Trip.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, because we got to get ready for
Big Poppy Boggsy.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Huh. This is so wild.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
We already said or went out for photoshop. Right it's done.
No one says, oh, that's got to be photoshop. You say,
that's got to be AI. It's like like when people
you when we'd always say like, oh, did you tape it?
No one's taping anything. You recorded it. I saw this yesterday.
I immediately put it on our group chat. I said,
if this is real, we got to talk about it.
Since then, I've seen it everywhere. My friends have been

(45:31):
sending it to me and either we're all dummies or
it's real. As a guy that can't stop talking about peptides,
Rich Davis, I'm nervous to do it, but I feel
like I want to get on a stack. Say, I
feel like I want to get into the pep tide.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
This picture checked out, by the way, Chad Gpt says
it's very much real.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Rich Davis thinks he's Daddy Stacks. Wade Box himself posted this,
so that's why I was like, there's got to be
truth to this, and.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
He says, just another great day on the water.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
But he he's doing what our producer spot does, like
he's using every opportunity to flex, like no one's noticing
him fishing. He's clearly flexing on social media. Wade Box
looks like a buddy, You're.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Like, what the hell is this?

Speaker 1 (46:11):
By the way, I'm gonna what's your guest on Wade
Box age Wade bog Sum Right now, let's say in
the eighties he was riding a horse in ninety six
with the Yankees. Sixty ninety one years. I mean he's
got to be almost seventy. Wade Box sixty eight years,
nineteen fifty.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
He just recently beat prostate cancer. Yeah, I recall and.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Rich mentioned it before he got He's infamous for that
hair transplant. So you know, he cares about how he looks.
He's trying to get back on the health track. He
has to be on something, because if this picture's real,
the dude is more shredded than any youngster you know
in your life. Right now, this guy looks ripped and
he's on something. And nowadays you can't have a conversation

(46:54):
without one of your buddy's talking about peptides, whatever GLP
he's on, and you got to imagine and bogses on something.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
And I said this to Rich today.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Looka Rich keeps talking about all his buddies that are
on this and that and this stack and Wolverine, this
that and whatever. Right, I said, yeah, that's great and all,
what are they gonna do trade their head out for
another head because you still got an old guy head.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
I'm sorry, And wait, you need to be weight box.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
And I said this before I even saw the Wade
Box thing. We still got an old guy head, respectfully,
so he needs a headshep. What I'm saying is you
don't need to be chiseled and ripped like Wade Bogs.
But I was saying, if you are into that peptide
nad plus world, now he's got to be people.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
People.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
There's ways to be thin and you know, ways to
enhance your workout. Nothing's FDA approved, but everyone's doing it.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
By the way, I'm just saying, I don't want this
to be misconstrued in any way. Congratulates dude looks good,
be canceled too, right, Yeah, we want you to know,
like this is coming from a place of love because
and shock because he saw this and you're like, what
the hell is going on here?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Weight boxes? Sh is that real?

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Because his head does a giant compared to his ripped torso.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
He announced he was cancer free on February seven, twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Yeah, that's gratulations to him.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
There. Do you guys know the best Wade Box story?
Which one? There's a few.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Give me the one eighty three beers on that side
of you. You were going to go there again and
not none of that. There's a better transplant. There's a
better Wade Bog story. Body by Bogs Baseball Hall of
Famer Wade Bogs. I bet you the Koran doesn't even
know this.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
I don't out there.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
You know who one of his best you know who,
one of his best friends used to be mister perfect
Christ Perfect. And there's an amazing story where while deer
hunting in Iowa, Oh, the one day I was Sam's
not here, I was Sam's trying like I'm not a
the location.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
They were tried.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
There's a big dear problem in Iowa and Iowa. While
deer hunting in Iowa, Wade Bogs grabbed a rotted tree
branch to cross a barbed wire fence. The branch broke
and it left Bogs tangled and severely cut from his
knee to his ankle kurent headache. The late great mister Perfect,

(49:15):
who was a dear friend of Wade Boggs, carried him
roughly three miles dear friend three miles back to the
truck to get emergency medical treatment, and Boggs frequently refers
to Kurt Heading as his guardian angel up in heaven
and that saved his life once so old school wrestler

(49:37):
who died. Mister Perfect and Wade Bogs were best bros.
They would haunt and fish and outdoorsy men together. And uh,
as you speak about Wade Boggs story that I was
fascinating to carry mister Perfect three miles based on that,
fant wad Bugs goes hunting out and carries all the
deer on his shoulders for real, Come on, guys, that's nuts.

(49:57):
I got sixty in honor of a mister Perfect. Wade
Box now spits out his gum every time and slaps.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
It with his hands. Hold on, I got you know what.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
That's probably why he didn't show up to Yankees Old
Timers Day this weekend because he's like, Yo, I'm not shit.
I look nothing like these old farts on the field
right now, he's ripped four hundred feet down the line.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
He's like, yeah, I'm not hanging out with these guys.
Look at all fat and dumpying those pinstripes.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I'm ripped. Can I share a couple of the comments
underneath this photo that he posted?

Speaker 1 (50:23):
It's just nuts what today's older guy is capable of.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
JW Adventure says. Dodgers just signed sixty eight year old
Wade Box to a four year, one hundred and eighty
million dollar deal after seeing this picture. Two million a
year now, the other one hundred and seventy two million
deferred until twenty forty seven. I'm a Dodgers fan. That's funny,
said again too.

story about the documentary.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Well, Poppy, get this. We've all heard of a Rowling Spalding.
These are all obviously names of men that were behind
the og baseball gloves. Spalding had such a great reputation
as an athlete and a good man. He was the
first person to wear a glove without shame. Before that,
if you wore a glove, you're considered like some time
of sissy or win. You're wearing a glove, use your

(01:03:17):
bare hands. And Spalding because he was so respected when
he wore a glove, people are like, wow, I mean
it's Spalding. He wore a glove and then would go
on to design bigger gloves and then Rawlings was the
first person to connect the fingers with webbing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
And you know, get out of here by this story. Hey, sorry,
Big Poppy, I gotta go home now. Okay, Hey you Poppy,

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
Mary.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
The fact that Spalding hey rich. He was no whine
because Spalding and he was a spoiled a great story.
He had a reputation. So it's like, you know, in
the cool kidd in school, there's to be different. He
wears something a little different, and no one's gonna make fun.
No one's gonna make fun of that guy. No one
made fun of spald him because he was the g Yes.
Spalding was like, I'm gonna wear a glove? What? And
everyone in the eighteen hundreds is like, well, I get well, see,

(01:04:24):
I guess if he was one, I could do one too, right.
And then that made it okay? And then rawlings and
did you know this other fun fact?

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
This is a great documentary. I still don't know where
it was. You're not done yet, any g You're gonna
love this. Why do you think probably left there was?

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
You know that all these different leagues used different sized baseballs,
different materials, different weights and everything until one company, and
it might have been wrong. I gotta look up who
exactly was there was a uniform baseball. But for the
early days of baseball, whatever stadium or field you played at,
whatever field or league you played in, it was a
different baseball. Maybe you guys need to watch a little

(01:04:59):
more history channel. Let's go to IWOA for an update.

Play first base, If you ever play first base, you
do realize that you don't get the throw around in
the infield.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
You know why that is? Isaac?

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Let's say there's an out, How did they toss it around?
Usually third base, second short back to the picture or
could be shortstop, second, third, pitture, depending on how you
Toon's round.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Why do they leave out the first basement? Find out?

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Find out after Isaac's update.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
Then coming up tomorrow, Wrench will break down the eighteen
ninety nine Cleveland Spiders.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
What you got? I love?

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
All right, I'll tell you now, I just I is
Lou Gary glu Gary when Lou was starting to get ill,
when Lou Garrick started.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
To get ill.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
Okay, as a respect, uh huh, the Yankees were like,
you don't need to throw to him every time you're
on the infield's and then.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
That's actually a legitimately cool story.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
And so they did that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Literally in Lou and Lou and Lou of Lou and
then other teams followed suit in honor of Lou Garrick.
So now you know, like a one hundred years later,
when people are throwing the ball around the infield, you wonder,
what is the first baseman not get the ball?

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
Respect, but do you know why they throw it to
third first? Because Wade Box said, so bad, you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Got it guy. He's the new He's the new Chuck Norri.
Well done, coach.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
Meanwhile, Kyler Murray is the new starting quarterback in the
Minnesota Vikings. They made that announcement today. Jj McCarthy, their
first round pick two years ago, will serve as the backup.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Jonson announced newly signed safety
Kobe Bryant expected him as four to six months after
undergoing knee surgery. Remember they signed him to a three year,
forty million dollar deal after he won a suit with

(01:07:00):
the Seahawks last season in Major League Baseball, the Los
Angeles Angels today fired pitching coach Mike Maddox. NBA announced
that the defending champion New York Knicks will host Lebron
James and the Sixers on opening night October twentieth. Additionally,
James and the Sixers will visit his former team, the
Lakers on Christmas Day. Finally, guys, are you familiar with
those annual NFL and college football preview magazine Street and

(01:07:23):
Smith's Athlon.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
My dad would like collect him every year and just
like analyze the you know these studies exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
So one of those longtime preview magazines, Phil Steele's college
football preview magazine. Phil Steele is an actual guy. He's
been putting out his magazine for over three decades, and
yesterday he was horrified to discover that scammers were selling
four different fake Phil Steele college Preview magazines on Amazon

(01:07:55):
dot com. Steele urgently tweeted, they're forty five, fifty, seventy
and ninety three pages. My magazine is three hundred and
seventy six pages with two full pages on one hundred
and thirty eight teams. Well, the Athletic just reported that
Amazon has removed Wow, you have magazines back to you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
May great stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
They would always have those, you know, in every local
newspaper too, like the Daily we grew up in New York,
the Daily News News Day.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
They would always have the little pullouts of like the
previews for you know.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
They had those magazines at the supermarket and we'd read
them while our parents were like shopping, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
The previews always gave you to Like I said earlier
in the show, this is the time where every team
has hope. And by the way that documentary I found
it what the baseball on It's called the Whole New
Ball Game. It's part of the Mega Brands that built
America on the History Channel. The Channel the mega brands
that built America and Season one. It's on season one
from twenty twenty three, the evolution of America's most beloved

(01:08:52):
sports of baseball, basketball, and football. Everything from how the
football got its shape to the first baseball gloves.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Might sell nerdy to you. No, if they have a
film another season, we're gonna get you a job as
a contributor on that show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
It was that do you realize you know what, I'll
let you watch how you why they made the football
the shape It is pretty fascinating and it made the
game go from a running game to a passing table
a little more too, when it became more of a
spiral pigskin.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
So interesting documentary.

Speaker 4 (01:09:19):
Coming up later Covino tells the story of why Mordecai
three Finger Brown got his nickname.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Thank you, everybody got more Coveno on Rich next right
here on Fox Sports Radio. So the NBA schedule came
out and there's I mean clearly a couple of games
that pop right out at you. Well, the fun fact
right off the bat history boy, Lakers not part of

(01:09:48):
Opening Night, first time in eight years.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
They play the Warriors on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
That Wednesday night, like the following Wednesday. So the Lakers
not part of Opening Night for the first time hmm
long time.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
What I thought was interesting was that on paper, it's like, ooh,
the Knicks first game defending champs is against the Philadelphia
seventy six ers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
We saw that one, and is there a party.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
That's like sweet, what a great Opening day matchup? Or
do you feel like hijacking the Knicks celebration is even
too much by the way, James, are they getting their
rings lowered down from the ceiling? I want to know,
because that's why the Seahawks are sitting there. You see
this inn our knocks. The rings come from the ceiling

(01:10:40):
and they dropped down in front of everybody. So is
that taking away? Is Lebron taking away? Well, they are
making history, right, it's the first ever father's son combo
for opening day Christmas Day. Well that's not the same thing.
Well aren't they breaking.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Uh history for that on Christmas Day? On Christmas Day?
Lakers Sixers?

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
I mean, I'm sorry, Knicks Sixers Opening Day doesn't take
away in my opinion because to me, that's what Lebron
wanted to be a part of, for me, that second
option for him.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Plus they're the winners. But do you think Lebron just
takes attention away from that?

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Well, I'm saying, I mean, what do you mean do
you think Lebron takes attentionally? I understand he stuck his
neck out there for that game, wanted that game, sort
of made that game happen. But the Knicks are still
getting their rings like they still got what he wanted
last year. And he wanted to be on the Knicks
this year. How do you not see that the Knicks
defending champions have their moment and it's like slightly overshadowed

(01:11:39):
by Lebron's first game as a seventy sixer. I mean
it's part of the story. I know that's part of
the story. I don't know if that takes away from
the fact they won the championship last year and they're
getting their rings presented.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
It bothered Josh Hart, by the way, did not seem
to bother Brunson. Brunson was like, Hey, the Knicks fans
are going to be going nuts. Maybe not as nuts
as they were for Game four the Finals, but I'll.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Be honest, it's gonna be at Hotter ticket then, right,
I mean, like talk about a Maja ticket to be
at and Lebron's first game is a sixer, and it's
the Knick ceremony, the stories that everything's away from the
knickt moment. But I think it's like imagine getting presented
a championship ring in front of like the you like,
that's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
This is me.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
This is like at a wedding when every so often
you'll see like a clip from a wedding where at
the wedding some other woman stands up and she's like,
I'm having.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
A baby or I'm also I'm engaged.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
It's like, it's not your moment somebody else. You don't
propose at someone else's wedding. You don't announce your baby
the same day someone else is announces their engagement. The
Knicks are having their moment that, you know, one of
the most magical teams the NBA was electric, the most
watched NBA Finals in decades since Michael Jordan, and and

(01:12:48):
now Lebron is attaching himself to Game one of their
next season by wanting that game. I just think it's
I think the NBA is letting let Lebron hijack that moment.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
I do think however, on Christmas Day, I think it's
going to be part of the story.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
On Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
I think Lebron James opening days and be part of
the story no.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
Matter what I mean. Like, but I do love Christmas Day.
Sixers Lakers. According to your son, yeah, first time on
a Christmas game, And according to Jeff Tigue, Lebron requested
to be in LA on Christmas and they made his
dreams coming.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
True, basket father and son Christmas Day. So like that,
I'll tell you what that's fun because it's very hard
to beat the NFL anytime in the winter. I was
just gonna look at what the NFL's got doing Christmas
Week because we always talk about how the NBA wants

(01:13:50):
to call it their time ago, you know, Christmas Day NBA.
But the more basketball and football. I have Christmas Day
right here, Chris, was they ready or Packers at Bears,
Bills at Broncos, Ram Seahawks. That's Friday, December twenty fifth,

(01:14:10):
and on Christmas Eve Texans Eagle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
So you also have Heat Celtics and let's see Thunder Timberwolves.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Yeah, I'm not I'm not being a prisoner, Danny. And
I think you have a new Hallmark Mario Lopez Hallmark.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Yes, yeah, Nuggets, Warriors, Christmas Christminson handcuffs with Maripez. You
got that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
No, but I really do think that lebron versus his son,
who knows? Who knows that Bronnie's even gonna be on
the squad. Maybe, like you said, Danny, like you know
how on Edwin Diaz Bobblehead Night, they made sure he
was available. If Lebron and Bronni you're both on the court,
that is an amazing moment against each other, right, and
they'll be There'll be a cool moment, maybe that cool moment.
I'm not saying father son, but do you remember when

(01:14:51):
Kobe took the charge from Michael Jordan. He was on
the Wizards, but it was still that cool generational moment
where he helped him up. Yes, I think we're got
to see a cool moment where Lebron and Bronni are
on the court. You're gonna definitely make that happen. But
let me ask you this father son match up on
Christmas the active roster, if le bronis even on the right,

(01:15:12):
Bronni's even on the roster. But Danny, let me ask
you this.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
You think they're not going to try to make that happen.
They'll probably activate them just for that game. But answer
this simple question.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
Other than the first quarter where you're like, oh, you
want to see that moment, are you really going to
watch a December basketball game over Bill's Broncos, Rams, Seahawks
and Bears Packers.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
I will watch the NBA Finals rematch because the first
game of Christmas Day for any sport is the Spurs
and the Knicks. See that Spurs Nickson? Oh yeah, that's cool.
But that's that what time?

Speaker 5 (01:15:42):
Noon?

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Noon Pacific? Yeah? But you know what's that from? Yeah?
You know what that means.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
I mean you got to decide between that and the
Packers Bears. If the Packers and Bears are all tightened
and that it's a fun day.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Options options.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
But I think I think the coolest question is do
you think that Lebron being there takes away from the
Knicks getting their rings? Maybe we discuss a little more tomorrow.
Have a great Tuesday night. I now we have a minute.
That's my mistakestball, Ryan, did you really count us down

(01:16:21):
a minute early?

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Yes? I'm sorry. Lucky for you, Rich, do you have
any more fun facts about sports inventions? Lucky?

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
Tell us about the invention of the basketball. Lucky for you,
the basketball Spalding had a twenty year Now listen, I
do think that people are gonna have great options to
sum it up between NFL and NBA both on Christmas Day.
That's that's pretty sweet, and it's a Friday not to

(01:16:48):
look forward to. All right, Now, have a great Tuesday night.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
