Speaker 1 (00:01):
You don't listening to Fox Sports. Yeah, what's up my days?
What's going on? Dicky Davis live from the East Coast.
I'm Cavino, Rich Davis on the West Side, together with
the voltron of radio that formed Cavino and Rich. Spot
is here, Bo Bo, Danny G, Steve the sageran thank

(00:23):
you guys for hanging again live from New Jersey because
I'm visiting family. But what Rich, I went to the
Yankees game, Dude, I can't wait to hear about the
walk off. You you got to witness Judge go Yard
and extra. So I made what I call a lot
of obvious servations, but they're sports observations. I'm not gonna
be here talking about the Yankees boring everybody else that

(00:45):
hates them, right, But I made some observations that I
wanted to share with you guys, plus some other randomness.
Were the worldwide leaders of nonsense. We are Cavino and Rich.
The phones are open as Fox Sports, Sunday eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Thank you guys for being
here at Covino and Rich on social media. Let's go.
How you doing, buddy, I'm good man, I'm good. I
was in the pool today with my kids. Some I'm

(01:06):
watching Mets loose today, So that was that was a
game that was on Peacock. Do you ever realize that,
like random games that you watch are now popping up
on different networks and right where am I watching this? Peacock?
Apple TV? How come when I complain about it, right,
You're like, hey, deal with it. But when you make
the observation, you're like, yeah, this is weak, right, yes, yeah,

(01:29):
because when I can play it matters to me. Yes, yeah, yeah,
that's exactly. I feel bad because a lot of our
local networks that carried our teams for all these years
lost the deals to Amazon, Prime, Apple TV, Peacock, and
it's like a crapshoot on where to find the games nowadays.
I gotta tell you, for the older folks, it's got

(01:50):
to be frustrating, you know. Of course, I can only
if you're if you're like ry old man Winters trying
to watch uh, you know, Friday Night Baseball and his
teams on Apple TV. What do you mean, nappen happens oranges?
What's going on here? Yeah? He's probably could be, there's
no question, no question. So you're on the East coast,
I gotta ask you a few things. Have you had

(02:11):
Italian food yet I have? Did you have gabba gul?
I haven't had any gamba gul, but I have. I've
had a time. I've had my dad's grilling. Right. But
there's some local haunts, some local spots that I gotta
hit before I leave. You know, I gotta get the entiments.

(02:32):
I gotta get the the pizza in town. Johnny Napkins,
my dad swears by, sounds like a total Gumbos sort
of place. Yeah, Johnny Napkins. So I gotta go there,
and I gotta get a tailor ham sandwich, maybe some
disco fries before I go, which is a Jersey staple.
So I'm from Yeah, I'm from Union, New Jersey, visiting family.

(02:52):
My uncle had a big retirement party this weekend, so
I had to be there. But I couldn't miss the
show today. But since I'm here, my brother there really
was pushing me. Dude. Sometimes you need that nudge, you do,
You need that nuggas stars to go to the game.
So yeah, I did go to the Yankees game today.
By the way, Johnny Napkins sounds like the guy that
gets killed in the first season of the Sopranos, like that,

(03:14):
like the unimportant gang member. He's like greasy because he
dams his pizza. Here's the here's the thing that everybody
could relate to. You know, when you visit your hometown,
you haven't been there in a minute. There's all these
new places that you might not know about. Right So
Johnny Napkins wasn't around when I lived in this town.

(03:35):
But when I come back, my friends and family are
raven about it. I'm like, all right, well, now I
guess I gotta try it. You know, I don't know
anything about it. So that's the fun part about being home,
just eating some of the old stuff that you haven't
had in a minute, and you know, seeing family obviously. Well,
the Yanks and Astros, which many believed could be a
preview of the American League Championships here is in fact.

(03:57):
I you know, that's probably the odds on favorite pick
in Las Vegas. Two teams that might be destined to
meet up unless someone in the Central does something or
else another team out of the a L least gets
hot come October. But Yankees and Astros are two really
good teams. So I'm with your brother, I'm glad he
pushed you to go. He did, but you gotta realize again,

(04:18):
we were at a family party the night before, so
everybody was boozing and schmooz into the wee hours of
the night. Everybody hungover. So when I woke up today,
I'm like, yeah, we're not really going, are we. My
brothers like, yo, we gotta go yo, and then my
cousins were in, so there was no balance. But I'm
glad I went, like you said, Rich, this is the
a l C. Yes, this is a preview of what

(04:38):
we're gonna see. And I'm here to tell you and
the casual baseball fans that are listening to Fox Sports Radio,
the Yankees Red Sox rivalry, it's done. You know, It's
just it's just done for now. I know that people
still like to hype that, networks like to hype that,
and there's history, but that's really all there is. There's history,

(05:00):
the rivalry just isn't there. The rivalry now is the
Yankees and the Astros, and I'm all for it. I
love it. I think it's great. Can I tell you
I'm so glad you said that because my first thought
was this is a rivalry and I was waiting for
you or a Yankee fan to tell me Astros nah,
Red Sox or sucks. Yeah, yeah, you know what the

(05:23):
spotty I agree. I think that I was waiting for
someone to be a Astros No, at least like you know,
like the Rays the Blue Jays. I'm like, no, those
aren't rivalries. Those are just good teams in the division.
There's bad blood, there's possible cheating in the past. So
granted there's only like four remaining players on those teams,
on those Astros teams, but I'll tell you when now
two steps up, I mean, he gets booed, it's vicious,

(05:47):
and he hit a like a first pitch home run
to start off the game today. So but that rivalry
is alive. So my first mild take of the day.
Rivalries come and go, and no matter how much the
networks and people want uh push the history of teams
like the Yankees and Red Sox, they're different teams as
the years go on, and you know, it's fun and

(06:07):
it's hype, but there's no rivalry. They're not really not
like with the Yankees in the Ashvills right now, there
are rivalries based on you know, things that happen in game,
some bad blood, some beef, and there's also rivalries just
based on Hey, these are he said, beef. This guy
keeps talking about we did both watch the New Beefs

(06:29):
and butt Head movie. Beef could be based on also
just two good teams, he said, beef again in the
same division. I mean, you know, when I was a kid,
just to show you how rivalries come and go. And
I'm not saying the Yankees Red Sox is gone for good,
but when I was a kid, it was all about
Mets Cardinals, right, Mets Cardinals, Mets Cardinals. The eighties were

(06:54):
all Mets Cardinals, and then they realigned not even in
the same division anymore. They might match up in the
postseason every five to ten years, but the reality is
that's not the rivalry. And you know what a big
rivalry was Mets Phillies. But you know, and that was
a rivalry when guys like Jimmy Rawlins and Jose Rays.
We're going back and forth. Right now, there's no Mets

(07:16):
Phillies rivalry. So I mean again, it's Cavino and Rich
We're here for fun. It's it's a lukewarm tank. Rivalries
come and go the history remains, and the memory remains,
and the memory remains, but the Metallica. But but it's

(07:38):
the networks that really push it, just to create a
hype that doesn't even exist anymore. The Astros and the Yankees,
even though it's it's not the biggest rivalry, I think
in this series we saw it growing again because it
was so back and forth. I mean, the Astros no
hit the Yankees and almost no hit him again today.
They were I believe sixteen innings in a row, mean,

(08:00):
the ninth inning on Friday night, the no hitter on Saturday,
and the first five or six in this game. I'm like,
did I think like sixteen innings in a row now
of no hit ball against the New York Yankees who
are just stacked? So you gotta give some credit to
the Houston at Astro's pitching. Were you sort of? I mean,
you saw a walk off, But would you have wanted

(08:22):
to be at the no hitter on Saturday because it's history? No?
Hell nough? Um. I was trying to justify the fact
that if they got no hit again today, well at
least I could say I was part of history because
I saw the second of two no nos back to back.
I'm not sure that's ever been, never been, never been
ever right, I would imagine, but you know, you'd be surprised.
And modern history, I would say no. But I do

(08:43):
want to open up the phones too to our first,
you know, random obvious servation of the day. Any other
rivalries that are just dead or that came and went
and there's a new one a brewing, you know, give
us a call eight seven ninety nine on Fox or
hit us at Covino and Rich. I mean, there are
short lived rivalries when a team's hot for a minute,
like Jets Patriots. No, Jets Patriots was a rivalry from

(09:06):
maybe two years when Rex Ryan actually had the Jets
going deeper into the playoffs. Mark Sanchez like that was
you know that's when Belichick Ryan, that was for what
two years? That's not a rival ry anymore. That's two
wins on the Patriots schedule. Rivalries come and go. And
we were kids, when we were kids. Redskins Cowboys. Now

(09:28):
that the you know, the commander is the is the
Commander's Cowboys some real heavy duty stuff. No, your cowboys, friend,
do you think of the Washington Football commanders now as
the Cowboys rival they used to be, it's still the Giants, Yeah, Giant,
And then and when the Giants think it's so they
take a backseat that it becomes like Eagles, Yeah, is it?

(09:51):
Rather the Eagles of the Giants recently has just been
the Giants. And again another obvious servation. Rich rivalries come
and go, but a lot of it sticks with the
fans more than the actual players, because I mean, there's
different players every year, so it's kind of hard to
keep a rivalry going when these teams really don't have
any history against each other. You see that a lot

(10:11):
when they'll ask a player on a team like are
you ready for this weekend series with all the bad
blood and the guys who are like, well, truthfully, like
twenty of the twenty six guys here, like warren't here? Then,
so you know, it takes away from from that hype,
you know, But as long as some of those core
guys are still on the Astros, you know, like we said,

(10:32):
Altuve and and the core guys and the Yankees Aaron
Judge who was robbed of an m v P when
Altuve got it, you know, there's always gonna be that rivalry.
So let's let's keep going with your observations. You want to.
You went to Yankee Stadium today, your first time going
to a Yankees game, and I would say a few years, right, Uh,
it's been a few years for sure. Last time I

(10:53):
went was probably with you. Again, we now live in
Los Angeles, but we're from the East Coast where Cavino
and Rich. These are observations from the game today. So
first one is as a Yankees fan, but being so
far removed again, I've been living in Los Angeles for
like the past twelve years, I could see why Yankee

(11:16):
fans are the best, but also why they're the hated,
the most hated fans. Yeah, you got you got a
glimpse in the mirror of what obnoxious look like. Yeah,
Because again I'm so far removed now from being an
East Coast guy, I can actually see from a different
perspective you've gotten soft and we could add to the list.

(11:36):
You know. It's it's kind of like, hey, what makes
them so hateable? My first observation is on my way there,
right just on my way there, you know what billboards
I'm passing on my way there, Eat clean bro, Like
that's the service, that's like the food service for all

(11:57):
these meathhead botch of glops that live here the Major Deacan.
Yeah yeah, on your way to the Major Neigan, there's
billboards everywhere for a food service for all these East
Coast meatheads that live with their mom and it's called
Eat Clean Bro. And the billboards on the highway before
you even got to the stadium. You're like, oh, I

(12:17):
forgot New York bunch of a bunch of guys live
with their moms that are jacked exactly yo when you
eat and yo, yo, Vinny, what are you eating tonight?
I got a delivery from Eat Clean Bra. And you know,
in its defense, my brother has subscribed to that and
swears by no surprise, but it is a great service.
So I'm not here to disparage it. I'm just here

(12:39):
to tell you that it just sounds ridiculous. It does,
and it doesn't surprise me that your family has been
involved exactly all right, So I don't know how much
you want, right Awakes, I mean, lots of observations. Keep
them coming, man keeping. So I'm at the game, and
hold on before you continue, Danny Jake, being you're such

(13:00):
a laid back l a fan, your Dodgers guy, I
got a Dodgers jersey on today, do you? I mean
from afar? You see how obnoxious, like the typical Yankees
fan is, right, like like we're painting the picture for
someone not from New York. Yeah, but I can also
see how somebody could go to a Dodgers game and
maybe think that some of the fans of my favorite

(13:21):
team are a little over the top. So it's just
all perspective, something special. But a Yankees fan extras and
feel free to share and to chime in and even
like maybe you could call out your own fandom, you know,
but this is stuff I noticed again outside looking in
almost because I haven't been there in a long time.

(13:42):
The worst thing in the world for me and to
me rich is when I when you boo your own team,
it's just so counterproductive to me. It's like, how do
you expect this guy to ever get out of his
head and out of a slump when you're booing your
own guy constantly? Like I get it, But if you're
stuck with that guy, like you gotta like a awful
a little imagine if your girl bowed you in the bedroom,

(14:03):
you know what I mean, Like that make you better, right,
you know, eventually I would be like, you know what,
I quit? I'm sorry, how do you get out of
your own head? So and and here's how it is.
It's like the fans there I felt, you know, because
they were being no hit today and the Bronx cheers

(14:27):
the booze. You know, you're hearing all these people like
getting quiet. It was like crickets for a while, and
then all of a sudden, Dj LeMay he hits a
home run right to tie up the game, and like
the crowd wakes up and they're all alive, and it's
like a whole different vibe and a whole different feeling
to the ball game. And I know that happens all
the time, but it's like, how fair weather could you

(14:49):
be as a fan? It's like you were just booing
everybody three seconds ago, and I gotta be honest, like
it's aggravating to me. It's like you're just booing your
tame two minutes ago. Now you're like the biggest fan
ever is the Yankees fans, and that's that's the Yankee vibe.
And I'm thinking to myself the fact that they would
even boo or give the silent treatment or be you know,
you're talking about a treatment silent treating out. You're talking

(15:12):
about a team that's on pace to win like a
hundred and twenty games, on pace to be the best
regular season record of all time. And there they get
blinked and the fans start booing. Granted they got no
hit the game before you know, it's it's a beautiful day.
You're taking your kids there. You want to see some action,
but my goodness, like booing. And then here's the other

(15:34):
observation too. You're looking around. You've seen a lot of
dudes with Yankee tattoos. They got their shirts on button,
lots of gold chains, like all your typical like New York, right,
And they didn't come alive until the Mayhew hit the
home run. Ever, it was booing the whole time. But like,

(15:54):
how do you feel about like cursing in front of
the children, Like there was kids there. It's an afternoon
Sunday game and there was batcha gloops. Well, I'm I'm
in the Bronx at the Yankees game. Do you have
another descriptions? Right? So these dons that I'm sitting next

(16:17):
to your fines and it's honestly, I feel like when
you're at a game. I think you gotta have a
little bit of discretion when children are around. Dude, I do,
I really do. I know it's a ball game, but
I think that might be something you only see at
certain stadiums. Look, I made some observations. Right now. We're

(16:38):
talking about why Yankee fans are so hate herbal but
why they're the best at the same time. But my
other observations of just simply going to a games not
all about the Yankees. We're gonna get your feedback and
your phone calls. Next is Cavino and Rich on Fox

(17:45):
on the West Coast, Rich Davis, my buddy, Steve Camino.
J Yeah. So for years and years I thought it
was California, no doubt about it. Not lear That's not
how it goes. That's not how it goes. I was
like two years ago, years old when I realized it
was California knows how to party. There was another one.

(18:11):
Oh Snoop Dogg gin and juice. Does it start with
him peeing or is it him pouring gin? Peing? I
think he's pooring gent because he goes it is true
relieving himself. He's relieving himself in the bathroom. Yeah. Might
he might have had a long day and he's like, oh,
he's pouring some gin interestingly in the bathroom. So again

(18:33):
Coveno and Rich on social media, which actually posted a
picture of of me enjoying the Yankees game today. I
was there in the Bronx in the flesh. It was
my return to the Bronx with some family. So Danny
g Bobo, Spotty boy, everybody listening, please like my Instagram
post at Steve Cavino please Hey, I'm in it for

(18:54):
the likes man and the follows. So at Steve Cavino
and at Cavino and Rich, the most interactive show on
Fox Sports Radio. Want your phone Calls eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. I'm wrapping up part one of
my day at the Game, which is being so far
removed living in l A, not being in New York
as much as I used to be. He spent the

(19:14):
first you know, thirty something years of your life living
and breathing New York and New Jersey. Now that you've
been out here in l A, it's you know, you're
a change man. You're a little softer. You don't have
as many chains, you don't as different. Yeah, I don't
wear as many chains as I used to, not as
many pinky rings and things like that. So I'm able
to see, you know, from a different perspective of how

(19:37):
and why Yankee fans are so hate herbal but again
why they're the best at the same time. Like the
booing and then the cheering, like very fickle, very fair weather.
It's very odd. I said before, if you were if
you delivered, and then once in a while, you did it?
Why would you? Like I said, imagine if that happened
in the bedroom, like the on the you know, on

(19:58):
your off night, you're girl like boom you stunk like
and it's like yeah, but I laid it down the
night before. It's like Aaron Hicks was a hero two
days ago, right, But it's how quickly we forget Like
he strikes at once, You're like, who you suck Now?
It's so weird because to me, that's counterproductive. So my
last observation in that realm of why they're hateable, but

(20:22):
like why they're the best quote unquote dude, I'm gonna
probably make a lot of other fans upset, and I
say this would all due respect, but when I'm making
my observations at the Yankees game, I got my sunglasses on.

(20:42):
I'm doing this respectfully. The women that go to a
Yankees game are by far the best looking, so easily hateable.
To the nine Yankees fan, they are by far the hottest.
Bro I'm not I'm not gonna disagree in the pink
shirts and hats, I'm not going to There's something about

(21:04):
the East Coast girl that you know I grew up
admiring somebody's coast guy. But the way they come out
there and her Yankee jerseys and their hats and they're
just they do it up and they dressed to the nines.
There's nothing sloppy about it. They come out there with
their ear rings on. Yo. Yankee women. Yankee fans are
the hottest women fans out there period. So no wonder

(21:26):
you guys hate the fans. I can't. I can't disagree
because I remember when I lived in New York. I'm
a Mets fan, and I remember thinking, like, hmm, it's
like like Long Island moms go to Mets games like
my like my mom, like some fine mamitas at the
Dodgers game when we went a couple of weeks ago,

(21:47):
not at the Angels game. Say it's like, you know,
you know, you see what I mean that you make
these observations, man, And I always feel that way when
I'm there. It's like, Yo, the Yankees bring out the
beautiful women, is the truth. So of course people are
gonna hate on that. You meet a new uh Puerto
Rican princess or or Italian gumat on the side or
what Dominican A lot of shiny legs, you know, looking

(22:09):
fine looking fun at the Yankees games, A nice Bronx Bay. Yes,
I'm glad you had fun, man, But I made other
generic sports slash baseball observations I do want to share
with you. But let's go to the phone, Troy in
San Diego. Uh, we're talking earlier about rivalries and how

(22:30):
be honest, they're only as good as, like how competitive
the two teams stay. They come and go over the years.
Sometimes the rivalry is that, you know, it is a
notable one, and then five ten years later it could
be no one really cares. What's up? Troy? Yeah, you right.
I'd like to say that some do, some don't, because
one I can think of that that has faded, of course,

(22:52):
is Colorado Avalanche Detroit Red Wings. We know how vicious
that was for a while, but it's not anymore. But
you go to college, let's say, uh, Michigan and Ohio State.
I don't care how bad one team is and how
good the other one is. Those guys hate each other
and they have for a year. Pat yourself on the back, Troy.

(23:13):
Pat yourself on the back, because that's the best point
anyone's made with this, Because honestly, college rivalries the players
come and go, but the colleges still hate each other.
Guess what, Yukon and Syracuse always gonna hate each other.
You said at Michigan Notre Dame, that there's gonna be
there's gonna be rivalries that you games you go to
see that are always gonna be teams that hate each other. Yeah,

(23:35):
I think rivalries l s U Alabama. Yeah, the college
or college will always hate each other where the pros.
You're right, it really depends on success and the players
and reasons. Really, it's the truth. Thank you, Troy. Now
mixing with all your observations, and I'm not I'm not
saying I'm not enjoying your observations, but tell everyone how

(23:56):
freaking electric boogie woogie boogie. I think it's Yankee Stadium God,
when the judge, when Aaron Judge hit a walk off.
In extras, I'm telling my story. My story begins with
my observation. Part one is just why Yankee fans are hateable.

(24:23):
Part two is, well, here's my observations just from the
game in general. Okay, number one and this is a
very lukewarm take, but I'm really strong on this opinion.
Lots of observations in lukewarm Takes Keep it Going, put
it in the micro with in the song God Bless America,

(24:47):
which I proudly stand up for, putting my hand over
my heart and I sing along. I gotta tell you,
I'm not sure anyone has ever made this observation on
Fox Sports Radio. I'll be proud to be first. White
with Foam is the weakest lyric ever to the oceans.

(25:11):
White with Foam. That is the weakest forced to rhyme
line that ever was. White with Foam is simply there
to rhyme with home. It is the weakest line in
one of the most important songs of our nation. It
is so lame. I'm here to tell you that. I'm

(25:32):
I'm about to ban that. I'll stand proudly and I'll
sing along. But I refused to sing that line anymore
because it's so corny. Irving Berlin. Yeah, he really couldn't
think of anything else. I guess you think he botched it.
I really think he did. What would what would you
put there? I mean, have you ever gone you know what?
I've no doubt about it, no that about it to

(25:57):
the oceans, no doubt about know that about it it's
only there because it rhymes with home America. No one
goes to America and says, you know what, I really
love the mountains, the prairies, the oceans, white with foam,
give me a break. Well, have you ever said that?

(26:18):
Every you talk about lyrics that are a hundred years
old the morning. Let's go over the rhyme real quick.
Let's let's figure this out. What what's the previous line,
because out of context, I don't want to start from
the beach only there as a setup to rhyme with home. Well,
the waves, the waves breaking on the shore line is

(26:39):
but no one cares about that. That's not an America,
you know, bragging right, get out of here with that line.
There's a lot of shore line in America, from the
mountains to the prairies to the oceans. Period to the oceans,
that's where should end. But no, he had to rhyme it,
and it's weak. Mm hmm, I know, say ocean garden

(27:05):
gnomes now to the oceans garden noomes. The only word
that rhymes is foam, and it's forced and it's corny. Sorry,
I know it's not the hottest take, but I'm standing
my ground here. It's got to be called out. It's
an important song. We all stand for it, and I

(27:27):
don't stand for that line. It should have been better.
It's a lazy line. Okay, So just random observations. It's
a hard one. I'm trying trying to think. Open the phones.
Grab my comb, Granma, Yeah, grab I comb my hair,

(27:47):
because just got David Cone Garden. Noome was the best
one so far. But if you have a better one, guys,
because I think I personally think we are better than
that eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox or hit
us up at Cavino and Rich. So is this, by

(28:08):
the way, is this what happens when you're left alone
on the East Coast for a couple of days. Hey, dude,
don't do than yours. You have a list of ridiculous
observations from your Yankees experience. You you tell me you
you stand by that line. If I was in the
writing session, I'd be like Iran ber Lynn. I think
you could do it like two Oceans and the super Dome. Nothing.

(28:29):
It doesn't work to the oceans room boom, do continue.
I'm really feeling maybe something in the garden that I
don't know when it's my job to come in and
move the conversation forwards. I don't know, God, I don't know. Well,

(28:51):
I told you I got more observations. So fair on
the edge of your seat. And if you have a
lyric you'd like to share. Eight seven seven nine Fox
ste here, Steve, Hello. Game. I know I never really
minded the lyric. We all do now. We all do now.

(29:15):
Game six of the Stanley Cup Final going on at
Tampa Bay and an early goal for the home team
trying to stay alive. Down three games to two to
Colorado in this series. It's one nothing against the Avalanche,
six and a half minutes to go in the first period.
If tamp Bacon win this tonight, a Game seven would
be in Colorado on Tuesday Night NASCAR in a lightning
and rain delay. Earlier, there was about a one hour

(29:36):
lightning delay in Nashville. This one's going to be at
least that long. And they're just before the halfway point
of the race. It's not an official race yet. They
were on lap forty one, forty out of the three
hundred scheduled at the current delays. Anders Shafley won the
Travelers by two strokes. The Sunday Night Ball game has
Dodgers at Brave scoreless. In the bottom of the fifth,
the pitchers duel between Tony gon Salon, who's nine and

(29:57):
oh for l A, and Spencer st Witer, who last
start allowed six runs against the Giants in three and
two thirds inning Tonight five scoreless innings, six strikeouts and
no walks. Game scoreless bottom of the fifth, Angels to
one winners against Seattle. There was a brawl in the
second inning, eight kicked out four from each team, and
Philadelphia beat the Padres eight five and a comeback. But

(30:20):
today was the day that Phills d h Bryce Harper
was placed on the injured list after last night's broken thumb.
Cincinnati in Arizona, each one Miami homeward bottom of the
ninth to beat the Mets three to Boston one at
seventh straight eight three. At Cleveland, Rich Hill got the win,
Minnesota o win Milwaukee and the Cubs each one. That
Cubs win was at St. Louis Intendant six five, so

(30:41):
the Cardinals now a game back of the first place
Brewers in the NL Central and the Yankee somehow one
in ten ending six three over Houston the home run
by Aaron Judge, but yes. As you mentioned earlier, Houston
had no hit the Yanks for sixteen straight innings dating
back to last Friday. In fact, the batting average for
New York in the series with the Astros was one

(31:01):
twenty three, and they still got a split of the series.
In American League history. According to stats Inc. That's the
lowest batting average in a four game series by a
team that didn't actually wind up losing the series. Look,
and he shows you that the Yankees still find a
way to win, you know. And I was there, guys,
I was there. You can see pictures at Steve Cavino.

(31:23):
Share the photos with your friends. You're you're making all
these observations that are some are eye rolling, some are
on point. I made one if you're cool with that,
and it's you posted a picture in pretty bad seats.
And I feel like, no offense to you. I feel
like I'm just saying most people don't post a photo

(31:44):
I love them from bad seats. Bad seats to you.
I mean, think about it. Most people now, when they're
at a concert or a game, if you're not sitting,
if you don't got good seats, you're probably not Because
I'm not. I'm I'm sharing, not bragging like most people.
Most people do is if they have bad seats, they
post a picture of them at the game and not

(32:04):
the view of where they're sitting. Yeah, you were like
in the upper deck on the left field pull. You know,
it was more important to me sharing a photo of
me and my brother and family, not trying to brag
to people I don't care about. I didn't blame you.
I'm I'm making a guy that literally just asks people
to like the picture. Yeah, well that's sharing, Bill. I'm

(32:25):
just saying, give me. I don't care at all. I'm
just saying most people in two in a world like
you said of bragging you, Yeah, most people if they
go to a concert, they'll walk up two seats that
aren't even there would be like, I'm at the concert.
You you proudly were like, Yo, I'm in the upper
deck in left field. Yeah I I I honestly enjoyed

(32:45):
my seats. I did. But you're right. If you want
to see what we're just talking about at Steve Covino,
it's a great observation and a fair one. We're at
Covino and rich As Fox Sports Sunday eight ninety nine
on Fox, Danny g Bo Bo, Spotty Boy, Steve de Seger,
Beano and Rich. Let's moving along, observations, keep going. Okay,
white with foam, weakest line to the ocean. I lost

(33:08):
my phone. Chrome rims of Chrome Old Jim Rome, Jim
and Jim Rome. Okay, my brother was at the game. Obviously.
You see him in the picture. He's wearing a Yankees jersey. Right,
he's rocking the pin stripes at Yankee Stadium. Guess what

(33:29):
jersey he's wearing. And these are stadiums. No, he's wearing
a Gary Sanchez who's no longer on the team and
active jersey to Yankee Stadium. I'm like, dude, I think
that's a sports no no. And that's my brother's like,
I don't know, it's only jersey I got, you don't
the only one he's got. I get it. But wearing

(33:52):
a jersey of a player that's still in the league,
not on your team, not the best look. But I'll
let it pass. But I think that's sort of like
a lame look. And I think he thinks of the
high heavens he did with the Yankees. Anyway he's doing.
If I go to a Mets game, and I'm wearing
a Noah Syndergard jersey that's on a week now. Yeah,
I think so. So just you know, I'm just just
a head emphasized. Yes, the rule that we've made years ago,

(34:15):
it's like you could wear that years later when he
retires if you really want to. And uh, man, you're
gonna be really disappointed to hear this. But before I
tell you the rest of the story, I want the
world from here how the game actually ended today. Oh,
take a listen to the walkoff from Aaron Judge swung
that balls high. That is fun. That God, it's a

(34:39):
walk up three run home run. It's a judge and
blast and the Yankees twim the ball game by the
score of six three. And that's when me, my cousins
and my brother went berserk in the car on the Rivals.
What yeah, yeah, yeah, we all do it at once,

(35:08):
White with Foe. Yeah. The only thing glamer than whitewood
foam is you leaving the game. And we'll get to
it next right here on Fox Sports Radio. I don't
think he's talking about sour Patch kids or chocolate covered
gummy bears, candy shop, Fitty Comedo and Rich Fox Sports Sunday.

(35:33):
I'm Rich Davis, the guy chilling here in l a
Comino is the guy that left the Yankees game before
Judge walked off. You embarrassed, I am, but I have
a valid and legitimate excuse. Don't tell me you have
to be on time for Fox Sports Radio. What do
you mean? I'm on six radio stations nationwide on x

(35:54):
SIM the I Heart radio app. You think I take
this lightly? You think I just show up the guys.
I'm stuck in the Major Digan. But what a game?
What was I supposed to do? I had to be somewhere.
So when I went to the game with my cousins,
you know, my brother and my cousins really put the
nudge on me. Like, bro, we gotta go to a game.

(36:15):
How often are we in town together? Let's go to
the game. I said, guys, listen, I want to go
to the game. But you gotta realize that I gotta
work later on. So no matter what, I have a
heart out, like at five PM, like, I gotta go
because I can't be late, stuck in traffic Bronx traffic,
Major Digan nightmare, and then be late for Fox Sports Radio.

(36:38):
So you gotta understand where I'm coming from. Man, I know,
how do you think I felt about it? So, you know,
I don't expect everyone to care about the Yankees, but
they had a chance to win it. In the bottom
of the ninth, they had glabor Tours on third. Aaron
Hicks was up, he struck out, everybody booze him, and
then glabor tores like turns an ankle getting back to

(36:59):
third at a quick so it is a strikeout. Throw
them out, end to that inning, and I'm like, oh,
we can't stick around much longer. Let's just bounce and
at least we'll beat all the traffic. And everybody sort
of agreed, but everybody wanted to stay right. It's the
weakest feeling in the world. And it's a conversation in itself.
It's like some people take pride in leaving and beating traffic.

(37:21):
I so badly wanted to see a walk off and
I missed it. Man, I missed a good one. Caliber Yeah,
you're gonna look back if the Yankees won the World
Series this year for the first time in you know,
thirteen years of so, and you realize that you missed
and Aaron Judge walk off because you didn't want to
get a little extra traffic and not even that. Come on,

(37:43):
this is like you said, this is the foreshadowing of
the a LCS two rivals. These teams don't like each other,
and the Yankees would have lost hold on. The Yankees
would have lost lost this series, which was important to
them if they didn't win today. It's only June. It's
not it's not that big of a June, but still still,

(38:04):
I missed an Aaron Judge walk off at home where
the crowd went berserk. It's always in the car. It's
a terrible feeling, Danny j. You ever walk out of
Dodger Stadium and you hear a lot of cheers, and
you're like, oh, I missed something. No way, Because when
I was a little kid and other Dodger fans were
little kids, we saw what happened with Kirk Gibson. So
for the rest of our lives, we're like, we're not
leaving until this game is done. There's no worse feeling

(38:28):
when you leave a stadium in arena and you hear
everyone start losing. You're like, oh, no, what a nightmare?
What have I done? Didn't you remember the story? You
remember the story? About when Miami came back against the
Spurs and there were all those people trying to get
back into the arena and the heat were like, nah,
you left, you can't come back in. You know returns

(38:49):
if you leave a game early and they win, you know,
it's almost like a subconscious party. That's like rooting against
your team. Like my brother. My brother said he's gonna
lie to tell everybody he stayed. I'm here to tell
the story and take your calls because let me ask you,
starting with you, Rich Davis, Judge, Judgin, I'm gonna give
the world listening to Fox Sports Radio Covino and Rich

(39:12):
John ken Jonas, what would you do? I had to
be at work, I had to be here to make
sure everything was ready to roll. I'm broadcasting from the
East coast, Like, how can I take the chance to
I wouldn't have known how long it would go on.
In hindsight, we knew it ended in the tenth, but
that could have went on to the fourteen fifteen inning.
We don't know. I'll give I'll give you that, but

(39:33):
if you're asking, do you lie, as Chris rock Onan said,
lie to me, Jerry, lie to me. You should have lied. Honestly,
you should have said, your guys, the place went crazy.
I missed it. I missed it a lot of the
first time in the Bronx and all these years Judge
has a walk off against the rival the place if

(39:54):
you watch the highlights, guys, and you'll see him tonight,
if you haven't seen him already, you know, the Bronx
went nuts. And again this is this is after getting
no hit. Yes, I believe you're two for two in
your last two Yankee games because we went with a
bunch of our listeners to a Yankees game and I
think and you left the stadium early, and then Stanton

(40:16):
hit a walk off and it was Stanton's big his
first big moment as a Yankee. You all right, well, hey,
there's a lot to get to more. Covene On Rich,
thank you for the recap. Covino left the game in early.
What a loser? Uh Mar covene On Rich next right
here on Fox Sports Radio, Yeah, Fox Sports Sunday, Rich Davis,

(40:44):
my buddy Steve Capno. Oh, by the way, unflattering on FaceTime?
Why you got like you you got like the dad
angle where you got like a bulbous nose, right now, well,
I mean, how do you not have a bubbus nose
on FaceTime? That's my mom. I'm like, Mom, I can
only see your nose in your forehead, Like, pull it

(41:06):
back a little. I mean I haven't balanced just right
so that I could see you. So, I mean, there's
not much I could do. I can't be the only
one who facetimes their parents and all you see is
like their hair. It's like, Mom, back it up. I
don't think anybody looks good on FaceTime. That's why I'm
allergic to it. That's why I avoid it, and that's
why I don't use it. But for the sake of

(41:26):
Fox Sports Sunday, I'm using it now. Thanks for hanging
out with us, Cavino and Rich. You're gonna be hearing
more of us here on Fox Sports Radio. I hope
you're enjoying the show. Tonight eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox is our number, and of course hit us
up on social media at Covino and Rich, Danny g
and Bobo are on standby spotties here. Steve de Seger
and thank you guys for hanging Hope you're having a

(41:47):
nice weekend again. I'm Steve Covino, Rich, I have one
more little nugget. Actually you might if I put you
on the spot. I have a trivia question. I would
love it alright. By the way, an hour of observations.
Cheez hey, brouh. You can thank me later. I just
hogged up an hour of airtime. I was gonna say,
can I fit the rest of this at the two hours?
Let's go? What's your what's your trivia? I'm at the

(42:08):
Yankees game today, big win. I'm looking at the scoreboard,
and as you know, I'm a big baseball fan. I
did not know what this stood for. And I'm sure
it's tuting common knowledge for most, but it wasn't for me.
And I can honestly admit this, So I ask you
if you know what it stands for, and if you
don't know, shame in that, because neither did I. I'm

(42:29):
looking at the Yankee scoreboard, and just like any other scoreboard,
it says runs, hits and errors right are traditional r
H the traditional scoreboard, run hits and errors Right on
the Yankee scoreboard and maybe all scoreboards. Like I said,
I haven't noticed. It says runs, hits, errors and MVR

(42:55):
and my thumb brothers like, what is MVR? Yeah, Yo,
wait does that say MVR? What does that stand for? You?
Do you have any idea what that is? This guy
doesn't know what mvrsts. I didn't. This guy, come on, didn't.
By the way, you can see what I'm talking about.
I posted a picture of the scoreboard on my Instagram story,
actually on my Instagram at Steve Cavino. You just have

(43:18):
to scroll past those really handsome pictures of me and
the week seats, and those week seats that Rich pointed
out he could resist himself left field, top row. We'd
just spend twelve bucks on stuff up fifty bucks. Those
are fifty ticket You're right, I get it. The Yankees
astros hot and it was the last minute decision too.
So do you know runs, hits, errors and MVR with

(43:39):
the MVR is without googling it, I'm not gonna lie.
I was thinking my motor vehicle record. No, no, I
I don't, but I see it. Dodgers games and Mets games,
they got the left on base l O B. I
know that runners left on base, but right after runs
they they get a city. They got that. But MVR,
I'll be honest with you, it doesn't jump out of me.

(44:00):
Let's see they have pitch counts now they have. It's
really weak, in my opinion, is a real week stat
or score to have on the scoreboard. It's like, yeah,
I mean whip and no whip whip, it's not whip.
They don't have whip up there. They don't have h win.

(44:20):
There's a lot of new stats over the last ten
plus years. I know that, but I'll be honest. I'm
man enough to say that I don't know what is
NB So isn't it fair? Like as baseball fans, hey,
we admit we don't know. There's no way every watch
I watch every day and I go to when I
was in New York, I went to like twenty five
Mets games a year. I watch every day. So this
is no shame and that's going well. According to my research,

(44:41):
runs hits, errors, m b R, n b R is
mound visits remaining. Oh lame though, right like, that's right
up there with runs, hits and error. There's no shame
in not knowing that. You know why because it's a
newer rule limiting the visits from the pitching coach your manager.
So right up there, what is that about how to

(45:02):
look it up. Um, A lot of times you'll see
the challenges remaining for a team, but I've never seen
the m v R. Okay, you can see it again
at Steve Covino visits remaining. Yeah. Wow, you think he
just goes somewhere like if if Aaron Boone has one leftover,
Hilders walk out there and be like, yeah, I don't
want to waste it. Hey, how are we doing doing good?

(45:24):
It's just so it's such a like it's just thrown
out there an assumption that every casual, average fan who's
there for, you know, a sausage sandwich, is gonna know
what the heck that means. I don't know. I didn't
know what. I'll be honest. Over the last if you're
a big baseball guy, baseball such a statistic sport, and

(45:44):
over the last five to ten years there's been such
an emphasis, more so than ever, on war and whip
and all all these things that when you were a
little kid, they were not kept. When you were playing
little league and you were keeping your score card with
your dad at the ball game in the eighties or nineties,
you were not You didn't say, man, do you see
uh Max Scherzer's whip is like right over, just about

(46:05):
one whip whip you say, whip quick quip QUI alright,
well one little nugget for you. There's there's a lot
to get to today in community. You know. He always
tell me your your girlfriend will ask you questions that
you don't know the answer to. But they're always like,
well that's a damn a good question I never thought about. Like,
she'll ask you like just the most bizarre questions like

(46:26):
why do they run? Why is first base to the
right instead of the left? Who invented that? You're like, well,
you know, having but I don't know why having their
double day? Guess because it's yeah, why counterclockwise? And you
start thinking like like cominos girls great at those questions
because she'll do it. They're like, hey, like uh, what
what made what made them measure this? Yeah? Why why

(46:47):
does every baseball stadium have different dimensions but every other
sport has a unified field. It's like I really don't
know the answer. And then she's mad at me. She's like, well,
you're a fan, you should know these things. And I
don't know. I have to sit here while you the
stupid Yankees every day and you don't now like, well
she asks like very arbitrary random questions. Well, if she
asked this question. I saw this the other day, being

(47:08):
that we're in Game six of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals,
first time ever the two teams face it off for
Lord Stanley's Cup. Are not plural lightning avalanche first time
there's not a plural team, No Penguins or Rangers or
Red Wings or Bruins or any lightning avalanche lightning, and

(47:34):
it might be the first time to whether or natural
events are in the Stanley Cup Finals. All right, um,
give you know I had to ask you this. I
wanted to. I wanted to pose this to everyone when
it comes to sports injuries, there's nothing more infuriating when
your favorite picture throws a striking. By the way, I

(48:00):
did see this on social media the other day and
it made me think in our lifetime, it's a hundred
the new ninety yes where when we were kids was
like no one. Ryan made me a few others that
through a hundred miles an hour. Doc good in and
it's probably maybe the rocket Roger Clemens. Now every team

(48:21):
has multiple guys that throw a hundred. Were to the
point where ninety nineties nothing. Nowadays, people's off speed stuff
is ninety I saw Edwin Diaz on the Mets yesterday
throwing a hundred and two and a hundred and three,
and then in the ninth inning, I'm thinking to myself,
a hundred and two hundred three. If that happened when

(48:42):
we were kids, that would be talked about. But I digress.
When you see your favorite picture go oh no, and
he grabs a shoulder and arm and you're like, oh,
you start thinking, oh, Tommy, John, You start thinking what
he paul? Elbow, shoulder, what's the problem. When you see
a guy pull up a limp, you're like, oh, no,
quad hamstring? What is it? Oh? No? In the NFL,

(49:05):
when your quarterbacks down on the ground for more than
what five seconds, you start having the nervous farts. Oh
what's happening? In all of sports? I feel like there's
one and one only injury that cannot be blamed on
the person at all. A quarterback gets hit, Hey, his fault.

(49:29):
He didn't scramble out of the pocket right. Or if
he pulls up limp, Hey, maybe his conditioning right. Same
with the picture's arm, Same with anything in sports. He's
had limp uh. When you saw what happened to Bryce Harper,
what makes that such a shame? And you saw what

(49:51):
happened to Pete Alonso earlier in the year. Luckily for
Pete the X rays are negative. But when a superstar
player gets hit by a pitch that there's no way
he could get out of the way. From to me,
it's the one and one only, unavoidable, unblameable on the

(50:12):
guy injury. If you're like the middle I think if
a quarterback gets hit from behind, if it's late because
the lineman simply missed the block, I just think that
you don't You don't think that's on him. It was
the path he took. He he stayed in the pocket
too long. That's the risk you take. Okay. I think
that every other thing, you can make an argument like

(50:35):
can't you Why can't the argument be, hey, you should
get out of the way. Can you get out of
the way of a ninety seven mile in our fastball
that's at your hands? Bryce Harper style? Can you get
out of the way out of a way of a
linebacker coming in full speed that you don't see because
the lineman missed attack, missed the block, have you if
you fall with him or drop the right way. I'm

(50:57):
just saying there's there's I think the most un lameable.
Like right now, if you're a Mets fan, you could
say freaking shoes or we've forty million dollars and uh,
he missed a month and a half with his back.
You can blame him as as conditioned and as great
as maxture as there is. There's a part of you
that's like, well, it's he's getting older, and it's it's

(51:19):
his back, right, So he's saying hit by pitch is
the only injury that is and and and I think
it's so terrible because it is the one that like
Bryce Harper's having an envy p style year. Yeah, and
now he's out for what minimum a month probably would
there's no timeline right now, Bryce Harper. And you know
it pains me to say it, being that I'm a
Mets fan. Baseball is better when Bryce Harper's playing. And

(51:44):
this is what Bryce Harper said about getting drilled yesterday.
Take a less. I kind of wish it what hit
me in the face. I mean, I don't break bones
in my face, so like I can take nine the
face if I can't take ninty seven. So yeah, I
kind of was a protection amount a little bit trying

(52:04):
to get my hand up there and not about it
hit me again. Um it just it's a Bummerum he's bummed.
He should be bummed out. He said he rather get
hit in the face, because at least he knows he
gets hit in the face unless he's seriously injured. He's like,
I rather, he probably rather break. He probably rather get

(52:25):
a big wealth on his face or have to go
through a concussion protocol than missed a month or so
of the season, which is I'm playing Devil's Advocate Keanu
Reeves style. So how about in the n b A
when someone's going up for a nasty dunk and there's
a flagrant foul from behind. This guy falls on his hip.

(52:48):
He's hurt and he's out for you know, two months,
wouldn't he. I'm gonna argue and say, while, yes, that's
very that's very he uh, you know, it's it's very
it's very pussy. But at the end of the day,
he whether it was a wide open lane to the
basket or if it was in traffic, he went up

(53:11):
there knowing a guy could undercut him knowing something could happen.
I just feel like the hit batsman in Major League
Baseball is the one thing where you you could like,
you know, a lot of hardest to protect for sure.
It's like you're sitting duck. That's what makes it. Yeah,
I almost unfair that the pictures don't ever get that
sort of retaliation at them. And I guess what you're saying.

(53:32):
My point, coin know, is that a lot of times
when a guy's injured, it's very easy to be like, yeah,
he's good, but he's injured a lot. You can never
count the games a guy misses because he was hit
by a pitch. It's just, you know, it's bad luck.
It's like, so Aaron Judge, who's having a memethean season
could end up hitting seventy home runs. Probably know if

(53:53):
Aaron Judge gets drilled in the hand and breaks his wrist,
is that hearn Judge's fault? Could you say, can you
mark that down with the Because Aaron Judge has been
known people say, oh, it's a little fragile. That's the
only knock on Aaron Judge. Every year or so he
gets a little banged up. That wouldn't be on him, right,
I don't think it's Aaron Judge his fault, But I

(54:15):
don't think it's the NBA player's fault, who you know,
gets a flagrant foulon him and he falls in and
breaks the wrist, you know, Like I don't. I don't
see that as their fault either. But I hear what
you're saying, and I understand what you're saying. It's almost
like there's no defense to get out of the way
of a hundred mile per hour fastball that's going right
towards you, like that, God forbid. Oh, Tony gets drilled

(54:37):
in the head and he's out for weeks for concussion
protocol and he's all good. But so those weeks he misses,
that goes against his side young possible votes. Not that
he would be, but no, you know, it's you missed
part of the season, and you like Bryce Harper could
very well miss out on a possible m v P
season because he's gonna miss thirty plus games because because

(55:00):
of someone else. Because someone else, right, right, Yeah, that's
what it is. That's what it is, because of someone else.
It's really a shame, really, just something to think about.
And uh, something something. Always keep in mind when you
when you blame players are getting injured. Some are way
more avoidable than others. All right, um, comno, Rich, I

(55:20):
want you to think about something and you got to
put you on your thinking captain. Think back to your childhood.
Did you ever mess up something real bad? Did you

like a family heirloom? Did you ever? Yeah, what's the
biggest thing you ever messed up as a kid? I
had the statue my mom loved and uh, I knocked

(55:44):
it over and it's Penis fille Off. You sure that's
your story? Yeah? And then then we included it, but
we glued it upside down together. Well, we take your
phone calls and feedback next because someone has your story topped.
That's the news story that just broke. Ok, that's pretty funny.

Radio app and are Stomping Grounds s x M eighty three.

(57:39):
Thanks for your feedback on Fox. All right, let's go
to your phone calls. I posed a question and people
can chime in if they want. When you were a kid,
when did you mess up the most? Like I'm talking
broke something to mom or Dad's really messed up. I'll
tell you the story and then we'll respond with the
phone call, if that's cool. But I just I went

(58:01):
on TMZ because I want to see if there was
any breaking news and sports or entertainment or anything headline
of TMZ Right now, Ben Affleck's ten year old son
jumped in the driver's seat of his Lamborghini and backed
into another car and busted it up. I don't think

(58:23):
I ever did anything like that. I mean, my dad
never had a Lamborghini, but he had a caravan that
I took out once. This same thing, so I would
say the same thing, same level of you know, I
don't think it was a caravan. I think it was
a Plymouth Voyager, which was the same thing but different.
All right, let's go to Bruno in Brooklyn. What's up, Bruno, gentleman.

(58:43):
Gentleman needed screwing for a curve with that one man.
I was coming in with the with the pitching and
the and the way these guys are getting hit. But
I gotta tell you it's a funny story. I mean,
you talk about what you just said about what happened,
Ben Affleck. I mean I did start our family's garage
on fire and burned up a couple of cars and
almost took the household. But that's another story entirely what

(59:05):
these guys today, these guys today that basically, I mean,
you think about the MLB, injuries aren't that often, and
when God's get you know, get popped, it's it's a
really rare thing, and it's too bad he got hit
in the hands. But you know, it's nothing like the
NFL or even the NBA, where these guys are there's

(59:26):
constant injury, and you know it's I agree, it's terrible,
but how are we gonna you know, the injuries are
way more brutal and and worse than other sports. I'm
saying the hit by pitch is the most unavoidable bad luck,
bad coincidence. Like Bryce Harper just sitting in the batter's box,

(59:46):
you know, am I sitting on a curve ball? Am
I looking? Am I looking fastball? And all of a
sudden boom, basically just walking at what's coming out of it's.
It's And there's very few things in sports because usually
you could find a way to assigned some blame like oh,
you know, you know I shouldn't have tried for that
extra yard. You know there's always something, but man, Bryce Harper,

(01:00:08):
that's that's a bummer for baseball. Right. All right, let's
say hi to Mitch in Jersey. What's up Mitch? Hey, match,
how are you doing? Guys? Thanks? Playing with Coley? I
know what's going with a little injury in baseball. Stars
that are just our Manni Manchado, Mookie Bets, and I
have Frice Harper. Now, may I mean a lot of

(01:00:31):
my Dodges. It seems um. I'm kind of happy the
way the Yankees are treating uh, Aaron Judge the best
playing baseball. I would love to see him walk and
signed with the Dodges next year. He can do like
le Barnes doing of off the court, maybe get into movies.
They dodgesn't know what it is, so fickle, they can't
make up their minds what he wanted to do the

(01:00:52):
least eight years. It's siding that the line was in Emick.
They let Corey go, they show let Cody go, Eagles signs.
Did you just say that you think the Dodgers lineup
is a name? You don't think the Dodgers have a
good lineup? Did I hear you correctly? He said, he's nonical.

(01:01:12):
Hold on, you know what, Mitch, you got me thinking
of something which is our which is another conversation. So I, however,
Aaron Judge has limited options because you know he's gonna
get paid. So how many teams are actually willing and
able to pay that much like Dodgers wants like Metsy Yankees, Dodgers,
Red Sox, maybe the Giants or the Cubs or if
the Cubs want to rebuild. I don't know pretty much.

(01:01:33):
It um hold that thought, Mitch, because let's go to
Kyle and Virginia Beach. Kyle, what's up? Man? So you
first of all the biggest mistake parents thing I ruined.
Also with the dogs caravan. It was snow and in
virgin Beach doesn't do that very often. Ran into the

(01:01:53):
back of my neighbor to the caravan that made me
help him rebuild it at a picking bowl fun lesson. Uh.
But I will say when we're talking about injuries and
the pit by pitch, I mean I went to George Mason.
I'm a Price Harper fan because the national But that's
just it's not what Canna say. It's not predictable. I

(01:02:15):
get that, but as I'm also a Nuggets fan. That's
a long story that I can't tell right now. But
Yogas won the m v P based off longevity. You
gotta think about Joel Embiid. Though Joel Embiid had unavoidable injuries,
just broke down and he just couldn't play a full season.
It's been the same story past few years. Were any

(01:02:37):
was any? Is that avoidable? I mean, I'm not a doctor.
I don't know, but as far as when it comes
to unavoidable injuries, I think getting hit by a pitch
and also having a bad knee or messed up your
back on a regular routine play, it's kind of the
same thing. You know that it's health and conditioning. Un
you could say. And Kyle, thank you for sparing us
the story of why you become a Nuggets fan. I appreciate.

(01:03:00):
I mean, why is Kyle he the he? I have
a quick destruction story for you, guys. I set our
fence on fire when I was six years old in
rialto California here in SOCl It had a fresh coat
of lacquer, which has a little kid you don't know
what that is. And my older brother and I we
were playing with matches and got one on the lacquer.

(01:03:24):
That fence went up fast and quick and furious, and uh,
the fire trucks came. They put the fire out. My
mom had the fire chief have a stern conversation with
my older brother and I and we were both standing there,
scared to death, peeing our pants. Did Marty McFly let
his living room corporate on fire? He did, and he
told George McFly to go easy. Yeah, alright, thanks for

(01:03:46):
the calls. Everybody comin on Wretchen now comino. Well, I
was gonna tell my story about my dad. My dad
had this Babe Ruth ball that he kept in his
office and it's like his prize possession, and we needed
an extra baseball to play with. So I just happened
to aken and I hit this. I actually hit a
bomb and into someone else's yard and his dog got
ahold of it. That's a really good story, bron, that's

(01:04:08):
your story. Good one. And then like my dad was like,
what happened to my baby roof ball? And I was like, well,
my dad would kill me. Sounds familiar. I do have
a story, though, Rich This is I have one story.
And if you've ever heard my our patreon Covino and Rich.
You know the story. It's a quick one. There was
some some kid I was friends with. He was a
Puerto Rican kid. I'm still friends with him, right, He's
from my hometown. He was on my little league team,

(01:04:30):
and his name was Double DS. And what's ironic about
it is I've never seen I never saw him hit
a double ever, but that's how he introduced himself DS.
I'm like, why do you call yourself Double D? As
I hit a lot of doubles. I'm like, that's funny.
I've never seen you hit one. Long story short, we're
rough housing like little kids do, like little boys do,
like little league days, right, and we're playing with those

(01:04:51):
disc guns. I've told you the story. You know. Those
those disc guns were the pharmacy disc guns. They were
the best toy guns. I was convinced that. I was
convinced the different colored discs when at different speeds. But dude,
I never played with kids on this level of playing
like he was doing army crawls. Like this kid was

(01:05:13):
like really next level, like getting into it, like yo,
we're really getting to this play session, right. So he's like,
come on, man, Double DA says, let's go let's go.
Let's go, like enemies attack. I know we're playing like war,
so I don't even know what we were doing, like
shooting human. I don't know what we were doing right down.
Long story short, Double DS didn't care about household rules
or anything like that. He was just like kind of

(01:05:34):
a crazy kid, and it was like the first time
he'd ever been over my house. This kid was like,
come on, let's go, let's go. So we're like army
crawling across my bedroom. He's at the top of the
stairs and jumps from the top of the stairs down
to the bottom of the stairs and then jumps through
into the basement. So he fell through the steps and
then he was like his feet were hanging in the steps,

(01:05:56):
like help me, dude, I ran down. I was panicking,
So ran down into the basement. I saw his feet
like kicking because he was stuck. He was stuck between
the floor and the steps. So he jumped through the
steps to the basement, and I was like, my my
parents are gonna kill me. True story, Double DS. The
story the legendary story of double DS. And he grew

(01:06:17):
up to be a pmx uh writer for sure. M yeah, hey,
wan to go to Steve x. Yeah, it was a
rough rider. Rough rider. Yeah, let's go to our buddy,
Steve the singer. What's up hello? By the way, Bryce
Harper last night was kind of blaming himself for getting
hit because he hit previously in his career, been hit

(01:06:40):
in the face with a fastball. He said last night,
I kind of wish this one hit me in the
face because I was kind of in protection mode a
little bit, he said, trying to get my hand up
there and not let it hit me up. There's such
a bad break for that team, quite literally, not no
pun intended, because you know they're not in the mix.
But you know, the Philly got hot a few weeks ago,

(01:07:01):
and you know without Bryce Harper that's a momentum killer. Absolutely.
And when they didn't have Harper just recently for a
few games, it was five runs total in three games.
So they really need Nick Castiatos to finally hit. He
had four hits today they came back and one at
San Diego eight five. But this is the day that
Harper was placed on the injured list after last night's
broken some And speaking of San Diego, there's the star injuries.

(01:07:24):
Do you know who's filling in for Bryce Harper double
double ds, full circle. They called him still hasn't hit.
Fernando Tatis Jr. By the way, showed up in spring
training with his fractured wrist and a reporter asked him about,
what you know the accident in the offseason, tell me
about it? And his reply was which one? So you know,

(01:07:46):
the Machado and the Bets injuries, those are also completely avoidable.
Bets ran into his own center field or making a catch.
I mean Machado trying to beat out a groundball last
weekend lunges for first base, lands on top of the
bag and slipped and turned his egg. So what's what's
the injury that annoyed you the most for any team
that you rooted for, or maybe not you root for.
I remember when towards the end of his career, Cespitis

(01:08:09):
didn't Yeah, he fell in a hole like that, a
bore like dug or something. He was on a farm.
And Kendry Morales, Oh yeah, when kend is like I
had a walk off and then jumped on home plate.
That's the worst. That was the worst landing in Major
League history. I'm sure that was one of those Fox
Saturday games, and it was everybody surrounding home play, first

(01:08:33):
because they won. I think it was a walk off
Grand Slam, and then surrounding because oh my goodness, this
guy's out for the year. By the way, Steve talked
about like the effect that play had, because now you realize,
like every guy is sort of a little careful. It
should be, but like like I feel like you see guys,
you know a little cautious now when they when they
hit home plate. Now when a walk off the Machado

(01:08:53):
thing last weekend, how do you not touch the corner
of the bag. How do you not touch the nearest
part of the bay if what you're trying to do
is beat the throw to the base? Uh? Stap what
Bryce Harper remember a couple of years ago on top
of the bag it had been raining slipped and you
know they initially thought that was like a c L
injury or something. But there has just been a goal

(01:09:15):
scored in Game six of the Stanley Cup Final, assuming
it stands after review, the Avalanche have taken the lead
at Tampa Bay two to one in the second, ending
ads leading the series three games to two and trying
to close things out tonight. Colorado was seven and oh
on the road this postseason until this series. Seven and
a half to go, second period, Colorado to one, leading

(01:09:35):
at Tampa Bay. On the scoreboard, NASCAR is in a
very long lightning and rain delay in Nashville, and they're
just before the halfway points, so it's not yet an
official race. They will try to wait this one out.
They were on lap one forty out of the three
hundred scheduled. NBC has already said we're done NASCAR for
the night. You can find it on some other channel,
but there's no way we're sticking with this through the

(01:09:56):
rest of prime time. Xander Shoffley won the Travelers by
two strokes. Patrick Cantley shot a final round seventy six
and fell to a tie for thirteenth place. And by
the way, the goal does officially count, adds up to
one in the second to Baseball Braves lead at the
seventh inning stretch one nothing over the Dodgers. Tonight's starting
pitcher in Atlanta, Spencer Strider six scoreless, setting seven strikeouts,

(01:10:18):
no walks, going up against l A's nine and oh
Tony Gonsolin, who we assume will be in the All
Star Game at Dodger Stadium. Next month, the Angels were
to one winners over Seattle. There was a brawl in
the second inning after a hit batter. Eight were kicked out,
four from each team. The game was delayed over fifteen minutes.
The Phillies and mentioned the comeback win at San Diego.
They were down five to go into the fifth, eight

(01:10:39):
five Philadelphia the final. Kyle Schwarber a three run homer
for the lead in the top of the seventh. Kyle
Scharber has twenty one home runs while he's batting to nine.
Miami hit a solo homer bottom of the ninth to
beat the Mets three to the Yankees in ten innings
down to Houston six three on a homer by Aaron Judge,
his twenty eight of the season. The Yankees had lost

(01:11:00):
two straight against Houston. They were fifty two and eighteen
before this week. In fact, the Yankees hadn't lost two
straight games in almost a month. Boston won at seventh straight,
eight three at Cleveland. Rich Hill pitch six innings for
the win. There was a stat last night that the
Red Sox something like sixteen and four for the month
and only had gained half game on the Yankees Minnesota

(01:11:22):
with a win and while Cleveland lost at home, Twins
up two games over Cleveland in the AL Central. Back
to you, Thank you, Steve. You know, if uh it's
so wild, how good the Yankees were playing this year?
If the Yankees who have eighty nine games left, If
the Yankees who have eighty nine games left, think about this,

(01:11:44):
if they play one game under five hundred, If the
Yankees go forty four and forty five over the final
eighty nine games, they'd still win ninety seven games on
the season. Do you jump out to such a hot
aren't the way the Yankees having this first half where
the Yankees could play average at best baseball and still

(01:12:07):
win a hundred games. The Yankees can play roughly five
and be a hundred win team. That's how dominant they
have been so far. And you saw today, you're seeing
that they're human, right, but they're also playing tougher teams.
They're playing the Rays, the Blue Jays, the Astros, so
you know, and there's they split a series today with
the Astros. Now, something that call Us said a few

(01:12:28):
minutes ago, I want to go back to it, because
he was complaining about the Dodgers lineup. Meanwhile, the Dodgers
have I'm pretty sure the second best record in the
National League right now. And I started talking to Danny
g and Bobo, who are watching the Dodgers Braves in
the background right now. I said, each team, each sport,

(01:12:48):
If you're a fan, do we all complain about the
same things? And I think the answer is a resounding yes.
If you're a baseball fan, what does every fan say,
Oh my, even bullpen stinks. Well, even if your team
is solid, you're gonna harp on the one dude that
is struggling, Like, you know, not to bring it back

(01:13:10):
to the Yankees, but you will because you wait an example,
right because who could It's like, it's like the Dodgers,
who could complain about that? But you talk to any
Yankees fan, they're like, freaking gallows sucks. You know, that's
that's the weak part in the weak link that's going
to focus the Mets, the best team in the National
League right now. I have friends that are like, their
bullpen stinks. I'm like, everyone thinks they're bullpen stinks in basketball?

(01:13:35):
You know what it is in basketball? Bubbo hit nail
on the head defense. Everyone's like, my team you know
if this team would play some defense. Everyone in the
NBA thinks their team plays no defense. And then in football,
what does everyone say? Same complaints all the time. I
can't cover anybody? This guy? What's what the second there?
Where was the guy think they're not covering anybody? How

(01:13:58):
is Davante Adams wide open? How? Oh my god, you're
gonna let Deemo Samuel just do that. Everyone thinks their
teams secondary stinks, everyone thinks their teams bullpen stinks, and
everyone thinks their team plays bad defense. It is universal.
So if you think your team has a bad bullpen,
go to go to the internet and play with the

(01:14:20):
old Google for a second and look up blown saves
and everything, and you'd be like, oh, my team's middle
of the pack. Everyone thinks their teams everyone feels that
way unless you're rooted for the Padres when they had
Trevor Hoffman or the Yankees when they had more Rivera.
Everyone thinks they're closer, makes them sweat. Everyone thinks their
bullpen stinks, everyone thinks their team plays no defense, and

(01:14:43):
everyone thinks their secondary gives up big place. It's just
what It's part of being a fan. The end, I
think you can sum up that way now, Um, but
as a fan, you know, you're just it's such as life,
you know, like you could have people singing your praise
all the time, whether it be on social media, at
the workplace or whatever, what stands out is the one

(01:15:05):
negative comment or that one negative thing. So you as
a person just are always looking for something to complain about,
no doubt, not honestly, think about ben and in sports
other than football, right because football you have such a
shorter schedule, seventeen games. In baseball, you're gonna lose to
bad teams and fans get all fired, like we we

(01:15:27):
lost the Cubs. Cups stink. It's like the Cubs are
still gonna win sixty games and they still so they're
gonna beat sixty teams. It's it's human nature. So just
just know that whatever you're complaining about right now, as
a sportsman, your team's secondary stinks, all your offensive line
and we all have the same complaints just about our team.
Same way with wives and kids and everything you do.

(01:15:48):
My kids do everyone's kids do that? Yeah, my wife doesn't.
Everyone's wife. You know, we're gonna complain about in a
few weeks the fireworks are better last year. That is true.
People are gonna say that. All right, we have more
you know and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

(01:16:09):
Welcome back to Caveno and Rich on Fox Sports Sunday,
Fox Sports Radio, Danny g Spotty, Steve de Sager, and
of course your hosts Cavino and Rich. I'm here in Jersey,
live from the East Coast, visiting family, went to the
Yankees game. Rich Davis live from the West Side. Together

(01:16:32):
we formed the show. Eight seven on Fox is our number.
Hit us up at Covino and Rich. I'm reading the
I'm reading the feedback on Twitter at Covin on Rich.
Someone mad a great point earlier in the show. We
were talking about rivalries and how sometimes even the best
ones die for a time period and then they come back.
I made that point. It's a great point. I'm not

(01:16:53):
gonna give you the credit. I'll give someone else to credit.
What's the what's the funny giving you the credit when
we could be the most interactive show and give other
people credit. How about that? Well? Who ell said it?
James Barringer hit us up and he said the Duke
U n C rivalry was dead for almost a decade
because UNC stunk. You know, things have changed, but a
lot of times you need both teams to sort of

(01:17:14):
remain good otherwise, Yeah, so much for the rivalry. It
does a rivalry matter when one of the team stinks. No,
it's true. James makes a good point, like, right now
Cardinals Cubs great Midwest, you know n L Central. Well,
the Cup stink right now, So what does that matter? Yeah,
it's just the media hypes it and there's really no

(01:17:34):
there's really no rivalry there. And that is in reference
to our earlier story about the Yankees and Red Sox
rivalry sort of that it is the is the Yankees
Astros right now. The theory is rivalries come and go. Now,
we were we were talking about we were talking about
things that you think only happened to your teams. But

(01:17:57):
then the reality is everyone feels this way. Oh, my
team's bullpen stinks, my team's second theary can't cover anybody.
Oh the offensive line stinks, but quarterback at the time,
my team can't stay healthy. I mean you're Mets especially. Yeah,
and I always thought it was just me, but everyone's like, no,
I feel the same way. In basketball. If my team
played a little defense. Everyone thinks their complaints are unique

(01:18:20):
to their team. But I promise you everyone thinks they're
closer stinks. Everyone thinks they're bullpen is shaky. Everyone thinks
that you know, they're slugger is uh, you know, strikes
out a lot. It's just everyone has the same complaints.
And I thought of another one as I watch Travis
Darnel on the Atlanta Braves. Everyone thinks that when a

(01:18:40):
guy leaves their team, now he's good and when a
star and when a star comes to your team, you're like,
he used to be good like And I'm because I
looked at the initial All Star balloting for for this
year's All Star Game out here in Los Angeles and
Travis Darnel, I think it is first or second and
NL catchers, And I'm like, do you mean the guy
that stung for the Mets. It couldn't really do anything

(01:19:02):
nail on the head. The minute that guy leaves your team,
it seems like he's jacked. He's wearing like elbow armor
and he's hitting bombs. It's like he has a whole
different vibe about him. And then the guy who's supposed
to be good comes to your team and he stinks.
I'm with you. Everybody feels the same way. We let
that guy go. He's fifteen wins, he's a he's an
all star pitcher. It happens all the time. That's a

(01:19:22):
great way. You get a guy you're used to seeing
him hit two home runs, and now he's on my
team and he hits two forty and has sixteen home runs.
Nail on head, So they have it. Uh. I have
a thought about expectations, and I'm gonna tell you, not
the collective you, that we need to step it up.

(01:19:45):
We need we need to step up our expectations of
what we think is funny, what we think is h Man.
That's great because I think we hope comedians. I think
we hold celebrities and athletes to such a low standard
when it comes to humor and entertainment. And I have

(01:20:10):
a theory that I'm gonna break out next that you're
gonna say, Man, Rich Davis, you really nailed it. So
you stay right there. We have more covene on Rich
and by the way, hit us up with anything at
Kobin on Rich. Love to chat with you guys, Fox
Sports Sunday. Hang tight, Uh, your buds. Covene on Rich

(01:20:35):
Fox Sports Sunday, getting ready for another action pactory action
packed week. Hold on, I'm let me write this down
because there's a story that I just saw that it's
gonna lose my mind over Coveno. Um. You should also
remind the Fox Sports Radio Nation. Yeah, that will be
on the next few days. Well, you'll be on and

(01:20:55):
then I'll join you on Tuesday. Can't wait. Yeah, filling
in for a Doug gott leave the next couple of days.
So hey, hang with us, Cavino and Rich gonna be fun.
I could promise you that, Um, I said before we
went to break, I said expectations. I feel like sometimes
people expect a lot, and then there's other times where

(01:21:17):
people expect so little. I think one of the times
where people expect so little is when it comes to
celebrities and athletes being funny. Have you noticed that the
bar is low? I mean, it's a lot of courtesy laughs,
because a lot of these people are just surrounded by
yes people and everything. He says, it's so funny. It's

(01:21:40):
like when someone goes on a late night show, they
tell a pretty mediocre, average story and Jimmy Fallon or
Whoever's like, oh, and the crowds all belly laughing. I'm like,
that story is not that funny. Yeah, it's almost like
a forced pressure to laugh because their celebrity, but they're
not really bringing down the house. I have a story

(01:22:02):
of it. I just experienced this recently, and I say
this with all dual respect on serious ex time. I
worked for Ozzie's Bone Yard on the Weekend's right, I
do the rock stuff. I'm on Lithium Turbo and Bone
Yard again. Cavino, that's rich sports radio. The guy knows
sports and music. Who's better than Steve coo Yankees fan?

(01:22:26):
So I went to this Ozzy Osbourne listening party exclusive invite.
I got to hear his new album before anybody else.
And he recently got a surgery, so Sharon was there
on his behalf. Is it is it true that not
only did you leave the Yankee game early today and
missed Aaron Judges home run, didn't you also leave the
Ozzie listening party early because in downtown l A you

(01:22:46):
were worried about your car and also trying to beat traffic.
I'm allergic to traffic. Clearly, Clearly, you're the guy that
leaves things before they get good exactly. But um, at
this listening party, Sharon was there, and she's a bit
of a fire cracker, right right, and she's full of personality,
don't get it twisted. But what I witnessed was everybody

(01:23:07):
there laughing at everything she said. And it's not like
she's up there like Sebastian Maniscalco. It's not like she's
up there doing a comedy routine. It's just that pressure
to laugh because she's Sharon, and she's a celebrity, like
she would refer to the producer of the album like
he's just a little twit, you know, twit you're bringing

(01:23:31):
down the house. But it's like a forced laughter because
she's a celebrity, and is she funnier and more of
a firecracker than the average person, of course, But she's
not saying anything that funny, but you would have thought
she was, you know, one of the kings of comedy
with Steve Harvey. I mean, it's not Bill Burr, right,
it's not Dave Chappelle. It's it's Sharon Osborne. And like
I said, not not to pick on her, it's any

(01:23:52):
late night talk show host. It's a courtesy, it really is.
Or you're just like giving people too much credit for
having just a bit more personality than the average person. Well,
I got thinking about something, and I'll tell you why
I'm I'm playing softball out here in l A try
to stay active. I know a lot of guys, a
lot of women play softball places rex sports. You know,

(01:24:15):
I just get out there right now. I play in
a league where there's a guy that brings like a
portable boom box, where all the guys have walked up music.
I know you might say for softball. Yeah. At first,
I'm like, what, It's actually pretty funny, and I start
talking to one of my buddies saying, hey, have you

(01:24:37):
ever seen the Savannah bananas? These guys are dancing between
pitches as a guy that walked up took a couple
of swings with a bat that was on fire. There
was one guy about the picture that's on stilts. Yeah, listen,
I'm not expecting that in Major League baseball. But my
point was, we know the way to make people laugh

(01:24:58):
and smile in baseball, we just choose not to do it.
I said, well, it's the last time a major league
baseball player did something that made you genuinely like laugh
or smile, and I'm like, that's a really good question.
He goes, Oh, Will Smith on the on the Dodgers,
he walks up to the plate to the Fresh Prince theme,

(01:25:20):
and I'm like, that's the expectation. That's funny inspect Yeah,
the bar is very low because we especially in baseball,
right and and we've also been conditioned in other sports
to not assume that they're gonna show and lead with
a lot of personality and be funny, and we don't

(01:25:40):
expect our athletes to have personality outside of the game.
We're seeing that change in other sports. In the NBA. God,
look at Raymond Green in the NBA Finals. This guy
gave you more sound bites in a week than anyone
in Major League Baseball combined, gave you through the first
eighty something games. And not the backtrack, but the Savannah bananas.

(01:26:04):
They go viral because there really is no fun in
baseball and in these ways because it's taken so soon.
And I wanted to give credit to Eric Burns too,
because he was always a baseball player with a lot
of personality and he's the manager of that team. I
believe I'm not saying that Major League players should be
on stilts with flaming bats and doing uh TikTok dances

(01:26:26):
on the infield. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying
we should play like a you know, like a coastal league,
like the Savannah Bananas. But what I'm saying is, if
there was this is my theory, back me up or not,
if there was a player that wanted to make an
immediate impact in Major League Baseball, there's the widest gap
ever for some guy to be captain charisma of the MLB.

(01:26:50):
If some guy said, you know what, every time I
come up to the plate, every time I want a
different old school hip hop song, and he starts like
strutting up to the plate, or he's like, you know
what I'm gonna do every time I get up to
the every time I come out on the batters box,
to the battis box, play me. In nineteen nineties cartoon
theme Ducktails, Darkwing Duck, people would talk about it. That's

(01:27:12):
how much baseball's Thurston for some type of personality. Think
about the headline. Recently, the Angels went into a big
slump and someone came up with the the brilliant idea
that went viral. Hey, we know how to get the
Angels out of this slump. Everybody tonight is walking up
to Nickelback and it was like, but funny, but not

(01:27:35):
really laugh out loud funny, but funny in the sports
world that made head. You're right, you know what it's not.
It's it's not funny, it's sports, funny, sports sports, because
sports and celebrity have a very low bar of funny. Wow,
Will Smith and the Dodgers walked up to the plate
with fresh Prince of bel Air in the background. Oh man,

(01:27:58):
that's it's really that funny. But in in in the
world of sports, where no one really says much of
anything right. So recently again is a good example of this,
and props to our old colleague, Alexa Dad, formerly the
MLB Network, is now one of the hosts for the St.
Louis Cardinals. Alexa Dad was interviewing t J McFarland, and

(01:28:21):
t J McFarland was like really putting himself out there,
like doing a Harry Carry impression, but he was really
like he committed to it, so he announced the lineup,
but in Harry Carry impression, like he was doing like
an impression of Will Ferrell doing it basically, but you
don't normally see that much personality from a big league
That's why. That's why I got like Joey Votto right

(01:28:44):
stands out to me. That's why. That's why I'm telling
you if if you want to make up your mark,
like in the NBA, there's so many guys with personality
and drama and guys that tweet, guys that fight, it
would be hard to break through. If you're a major

(01:29:04):
league baseball player, you don't even need to be the best.
And it's not even you can't even say it's a distraction.
You could say, hey, you know what I like to do.
I'm playing a kid's game and I make a living
and I love the game and I'm just having fun.
But no one really wants to put themselves out there.
Came out there with a little personality like I don't know,
give me any I'll give you one. I'll give you one.
I'll give you one. In the nineties, he was wild

(01:29:27):
and crazy when Turk when To would throw down the
rosin bag. Whoa like like? Is that like maniac behavior
or did he just have a glimpse of like funny personality?
I mean the Cowe, New York is running ound with
the nasty nest thing because he has a mustache. Like
it doesn't take a lot to like, it would take
one guy who's a little off color, you know, like,

(01:29:50):
give me just another average fellow in the big leagues, rich,
give me every any average name. Edwater Escobar, Okay, Edward
Escobar comes out and he's like, I'm feeling wild and crazy.
I no longer go by Edward Escobar. I want to
I want you to call me t Bone and like
people are like, whoa t bone mania hilarious. It's really that,

(01:30:10):
you know, I saw a funny clip because this I now,
hold on, hold on now. With the Mets, I want
you to tell me sports funny stakes on the field
before it would be sports funny you rarely see. It
would stand out so much because you see so little personality.
Sports funny or real funny. Two days ago, the Mets

(01:30:32):
beat the Marlins, and when everyone shaking hands at the end,
doing the little wall, you know, walking the line, the
high fives, little fist bumps, a couple of I think
Lindoor and Escobar and a couple of the guys were
jokingly trying to rip off Buckshell Walter's windbreaker and he's
like stopping guys and they're like, you know, they like trying.
And honestly, every New York outlet retweeted like it was

(01:30:53):
like Brodney Dangerfield. I mean, there's no there's no surprise
that baseball needs more personal. I mean, how when you
watch old blooper videos and like funny shide up, like
how many times could they go to the the hot
foot and all the stupid pranks they pull in baseball,
Like Roger mcdale's hot is still on the reel, Like
they're still showing the hot foot from nineteen eighties six

(01:31:15):
where they like someone's cleat on fire. It's like or
when Rick Dempsey's like, you know, in the middle of
a rain delay, uh, sliding like a slip slip and
slops Like when the guy got mauled by the tiger
at second base. Well that was funny, Yeah, that was
fun I think that was naked. Oh that was naked
when the guy went up to the wall and his
head fell off naked? What about when the guy got

(01:31:36):
hit by a sedan? But the point is there's funny
and then there's like almost I don't want to say
sports funny. It's like baseball funny, and baseball funny's never
really that funny. See what you will about Jeter being
you know, I know you think he's the greatest player ever.
He my wet sock, my sweaty wet sock, had more
personality than he did when he played. And now even

(01:31:57):
just he's showing the glimpse of personality on social media,
like Jeter being like, you know, crazy day, I'm a girl,
dad three girls. Like he's showing more personality the last
month that he did in twenty years as a Yankee.
He stuck his tongue out with his beautiful wife on
an Instagram post recently. Yo, it's so great seeing the
funny side of Jeters. Like he stuck his tongue out.

(01:32:19):
I'm not even look it up. Look it up. That
is crazy. But what a what a clown Steve Martin
in the eighties. Because why, Richard goes back to your
original point, Our expectations are so so My point certain
celebrities and certain athletes. My point is that if there

(01:32:40):
is a major League baseball player that wanted to be
the funny guy, it really would take so little to
break through. You're not. You're not You're not competing in
the NBA where everyone's on social media trash talking, everyone's
trying to do a podcast major League Baseball. It's and

(01:33:00):
I'm a huge baseball fan. The funny Factor. No one's
doing a half hour on Comedy Central or no one's
getting a Netflix special. I'll tell you that it's not
even like funny rich. It's almost like personality. You know,
you don't have to be bringing the laughers all the time,
but it's like, you know, he's really a character full
of personality. When Pete Alonzo says l f MG, well,

(01:33:23):
why do I was messing l f GM? When he
throws in the F which we know what stands for
let's f and go Mets. When he's like hey, when
they're interviewing him aft to the game after like he
has a walk off, Hey, Pete Alonzo, he like, hey,
everybody left GM. Everyone's everyone thinks he's like a maniac.

(01:33:43):
Oh man, what a what a crazy guy? Yeah, I
mean our expectations are really low and and we like
we laugh when no laugh is really warm. Yeah, you know,
you know who's such an opening for for that person?
Why am I drawing a Bukes. Tell me who the
funniest player was in the a L. I don't think

(01:34:03):
he's playing anymore. The highlight reels of him like just
goofer rail players when he's on like first base. It
wasn't Miggy, it was ah, oh it was Texas Rangers. Um,
come on, strangers, we're gonna play this game, Nelson Cruz.

(01:34:24):
Don't google. That's strangers, guys Dominican. Now, oh my god,
I'm at work. Yes, I would know to um. Well,
well we think of his name because we're both blanking. Well,
I'm blanking because you put me on a spot. It's

(01:34:44):
so rare. I watched you know what, I watched a
lot of I watch a lot of MLB miked up,
and know what, it reminds me of that they've taken
five minutes and that's the best five So if you
watch five minutes of like I don't know, Indoor miked
up the best five minutes, that means they had him

(01:35:04):
miked up for four hours and they thought that was
the best five minutes. And you might have like one
or two funny little moments. So I'm telling you baseball
just as a wide open place for the next jokester.
The next personality, the next guy that, if he's any
good on the field, will be a star with endorsements.
But no one wants to be that guy for some reason.
I don't know the sort of angling nasty Nestor to

(01:35:26):
be stopping I've never heard of outside of you. I'm
being started seen his MLB open mics. I'm being serious.
Outside outside of you, I've heard very few baseball friends
of mine talking about Nasty Nestor your Yankee Yankee. You
guys thinking of Beltrey, by the way, Adrian Beltrey, he's
the guy that man. He played with a lot of fun,

(01:35:48):
didn't he. There's like YouTube videos, it's like big compilations
like his funniest moments, Like just if there were more
guys like him again, dude, played with you don't have
to be child like fun, played with personality, you know,
And there was a personality there, And we're stating the obvious.
That's where baseball lacks. Well, we're gonna take your phone
calls in a second, So Jules and Texas hang on.

(01:36:10):
Everyone else hang on eight seven, seven, nine, nine on
Fox More coven on Rich next, Yeah, Rich, welcome back

Nice for a little bit of what we do here

I hope you're having a great weekend. Remember to hit
us up at Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio dot Com.
Shout out to the I Heart Radio app and s
x M eight three. Of course, Bobo, Danny, g Steve,

(01:36:55):
the Seger's Botty, and you guys for hanging. We appreciate
you very much. I gotta ask, um, how do you
feel about Jansen, guys closing out against the Dodgers? Bobo
Danny j Does he because I remember when he was
on the Dodgers, you guys felt like he blew every save.
What about Well? Last night I was screaming at the TV.
I was like, come on, let's get some of the

(01:37:17):
runs back that he blew for us. Does he say
he's uh, he's got two outs in the ninth Dodgers. Uh,
I can't say what I want to say on the radio.
Being held scoreless tonight, Uh to nothing, Hey, braves, braves
are creeping up on the Mets. There four out if
they if they win tonight, for yeah, four out Mets
lost today. So yeah, we talked about this weeks ago.

(01:37:40):
The Major League Baseball teams are popping this season though
the ones that are good seemed to be really good,
and then you got the garbage. Honestly, you could already
well during the break we were saying, how Mets, Dodgers, Braves,
you know, Cardinals, Brewers, Yankees, Astros, like you could tell
the playoffs right now for the most part, right like, yeah,

(01:38:00):
I'm still wondering about the Twins and the Guardians, but
other than that, Yeah, yeah, all right, Well let's go
to your phone calls. We'll start with Jewels in Texas.
We're talking a little bit about the low expectations we
have for funny when it comes to celebrities and sports.
What's up, Jewels, Hey Jeels? So I'm talking about the
lousy job that the coach coaching for Boston Celtics versus

(01:38:24):
to San Francisco Warriors. That's what you called about. Just
it's just it's just pathetic. Are you a couple of
weeks late to that party shared complaints? No, sir, I
just I wanted to talk about sports, not about personality.
Well I want to talk about personality, damn. So it
sounds like we're having an old fashioned standoff here on
Fox Sports Rainio. Well, you know we're a couple of

(01:38:46):
weeks late. Let me ask you this, Jewels, if you
want to talk about sports and no personality whatsoever, do
you think Kyrie to the Lakers makes any difference whatsoever?
Because I'm seeing a lot of headlines, a lot of
people chirping saying, oh, Ire comes to the Lakers. You know,
they're contending, And I'm thinking, this is a team that
didn't make the playoffs. They have to do. They have

(01:39:08):
two bodies that will bang underneath. Sounds personal, he said,
dag underneath. Look, the Lakers only have a six million
dollar mid level exception right now, so you know Kyrie
wants what thirty to forty three million a season. I mean,
the Lakers would have to do some crazy mathematic genius

(01:39:30):
moves to move Russell Westbrook away and clear some some
cap space, because there's no way they could afford Kyrie
right now. What you do have a list of teams
that he wanted to be on, Like, you know, if
the Lakers were to make that move, I'd feel a
lot more comfortable if if he sort of said no
the Lakers of the team I really want to play
for the kind of options open last year going into

(01:39:55):
the season Vegas odds, even with Lebron and his age
trends ross our mellow. You know, think we're thinking, we're
thinking that Anthony Davis was gonna be healthy the whole year.
They were a top two to three team that was
favored to win the NBA title. They did not make
the playoffs. So if you think a new coach and
adding Kyrie is the answer where they go from not

(01:40:18):
making the playoffs to winning the NBA title, that you're
you're giving Kyrie that, then Kyrie should be the MVP
of the league. If that's the case, it's a bad formula,
especially when you see how the Golden State Warriors handled business, right,
I mean, you saw how they won this year, and
you see how they have all these up and comers,
all these these young dudes who are next in line
to to carry on the legacy. You know, you just

(01:40:38):
can't cut and paste and build a Frankenstein team like
that and expect it to be great. That makes you
feel better. Jewels Mark in Virginia, what's up, Mark? Yeah?
How you doing? Um? What's you're talking about? Personalities? That
was bringing up Mark Didric to the Tigers? Is he
is he bringing? Is this guy fun? Oh yeah, legendary, legendary.

(01:41:00):
He has to go so many years back. I mean
think I feel like I feel like all this time
about the market. Let's talk about the man Hungarian. No,
but I feel like I feel like by mentioning him.
You're right, you're you're bringing up like the old water
Wolf plays of the year, and like here, let's look
at this guy sliding on the on the top during
the rain delay. You're right, it's you have to go
so far back. Yeah, what about today? Right? That's what

(01:41:21):
we want? Super Rashida, what's up, man? What's up? Good
to hear your voice. What's up? Hey, buddy man? Just
can join the summertime? Yeah, and all that good stuff.
I appreciate you guys, but I couldn't believe I was
listening to you guys, earlier it was nothing but baseball,
like I had to break the news to you. But

(01:41:41):
his baseball season and and and I'll be honest, there's
not really much else going on there unless go you know, well,
we'll get into some more football all season stuff. But
it's sort of a dead week. How you kidding me?
This is some of the greatest news that's going on
for basketball. Basketball has a lot of intrigue, drama all
times stuff. You know what, There's a there's a story,
super CD that I want to bring up that how
to do with basketball, So go on, Well, let me

(01:42:03):
start with the Lakers first of all, before I get
to the Kyrie situation. You guys are over in Charlie, right, Yeah,
do you have any insight on what Genie Buss is
waiting for to bring back Magic Johnson? Because here's the thing,
Rob Polinka, who's that Kobe Bryant's little cagalong brother, Rob Polinka,
the bench from warmer for the Fab five. I don't

(01:42:25):
think he's going to get it done. He's not going
to get it done, not over the great Magic Johnson.
I don't have any I don't have any insight right now,
super ced A, because that's gonna be on season nine
of Winning Time. Speak for yourself because I'm sending her
a d M as we speak. Okay, Genie trying to
get the scoop for you guys. Yeah, it's not a

(01:42:45):
bad idea, super Cedy. I'm sorry. I want to go
back to Reseda. What's up? Yeah? What I was gonna
say is Magic Johnson has to come back because he started,
he started the monstrosity. He started, he started this creation.
So why not go back to the purse who really
really set it off? You know you're going to have
to bring that magic. I think I wanted to keep
opponents to make this thing happen for the Lakers. And

(01:43:07):
as far as Kyrie going over there, I don't see
it happening because Katie gonna be like, look and if
I can't roll over to the Lakers too, And no
sense of you going over there, bro, because I feel
like those two are destined to prove a point. They
want to prove. What's his name? That guy that um
jumped ship with with the with the crazy looking beard
too quickly? Uh James harden Up. He jumped shipped way

(01:43:32):
too quickly, and people are not really checking this guy
thoroughly enough, Like Bro, you just left with the quickness.
They want to prove a point. Those two are gonna
want to prove a point to James Harden, Like, Bro,
you should have hung in there with us. We you
know we can make I mean, I think k d
might want to prove a coin, but I think Kyrie
is keeping his options open. Not what Here's the thing.

(01:43:55):
He he's the East Coast kid from what from what
I'm what I'm understanding, that's his hometown. So if Katie
say I think it is, Katie will be like, Bro,
let's make this happen, Bro, And then all they needed
one more piece from there if they can even get
like a Kali over there? Who knows Scott? And I
think it comes down to money received, because as Danny

(01:44:15):
g pointed out, my goodness, there's just how do they
for him? And how do they for you? And by
the way, the Dodgers just trace Thompson. Baby Dodgers got
him from the Tigers for cash considerations. He's been playing
well the past week for the Dodgers. Comes through in
the clutch there to two game now top of the ninth.

(01:44:36):
All of a sudden, I saw Bobo jump up and
start cheering. I'm like, what's going on? What what new Marvel?
What new Marvel trailer came out? Either that of the
Dodgers came back. Steve Disager said to us, Freeman would
have caught that. Yeah, man, he just missed. That's the worst.
By the way, just to follow up that thought about

(01:44:58):
the Lakers, there's one way that they could move Russell
Westbrook in that sick contract, sickly contract, I should say,
is by moving their first round pick to the Thunder.
Then the Thunder would buy out Westbrook for three to
ten million dollars. But Laker brass is saying they do
not want to trade that seven first round pick because

(01:45:21):
they don't want to mortgage their future. Didn't you already
do that though, because pick f them picks? And you
know what, Danny g Every time people talk about this stuff,
I'm I always wonder who eats the money right, Like, like,
I'll give you an example, Jimmy Garoppolo. Not just because
he's my boy and I'm a Niners guy. People keep
talking about like, well if they do a straight up

(01:45:41):
swap with him and Baker Mayfielder, who like, is there
a team out there that really wants to pick up
twenty to thirty million dollars for Jimmy Garoppolo. Is there
a team that really wants russ And and it wants
to pay thirty to forty million dollars? Like I just
feel like weird if there was a team that wanted
to give you know, the Shaun Watson million. Know, it's
there's probably a team. I just you know, it's I

(01:46:03):
don't know, you follow me, Danny g though, It's like, well,
that's the thing. He'd have to find a new suitor
because the okay, see Thunder just want the first round pick.
That's what they want. There. They'll they'll take the money
to get that pick. Well, there's the Jansen you guys know, right,
But if they if they agree to a buyout, then
it won't cost them that much. So they're in the
business of gathering picks right now. We'll see what happens.

(01:46:24):
It seems like the Lakers are just stuck in a
hard way as far as the calculator goes. They should
do a college course on understanding all the ins and
outs of money in professional sports. There's gotta be there
should be an accounting class at some college where they
explain every aspect of all this because Danny g I
think the average fans clueless as to who picks up

(01:46:45):
what right? I mean? I think so at least um
Steve the Sager. What's up, Buddy? Two runs for the
Dodgers in the top of the ninth with two outs
is Kendily Jansen against l A blows to save. It's
too to runner at second now with two outs in
the top of the ninth and back to the top
of the order and Trey Turner. Just last night, Jansen
got the save against the Dodgers. Through about fifteen pitches,

(01:47:07):
He's close to thirty pitches in the ninth of this game.
Jansen had blown three saves last month, none this month
until tonight. Last night was his twentie save of the season.
The Dodgers tonight, with runners in scoring position oh for
seven until just tying the game, diving catch in short
center field to end the top of the ninth at Lanta.
Two Dodgers to tie game going to the bottom of

(01:47:30):
the ninth, and Trace Thompson, brother of Clay Thompson just
acquired as mentioned, gets the game tying two run single
a looper over not Freddie Freeman, but Matt Olson at
first base. Meanwhile, it was Tony Gonzol of nine and
oh on the mound for the Dodgers tonight, and longest
outing this year was six and a third. He went
five and two thirds tonight pitches Dodgers too, Braves two

(01:47:55):
to the bottom of the ninth. As for the NHL game,
it's still Colorado in the lead, eight minutes away from
clinching the Cup to one lead at Tampa Bay in
Game six of the Stanley Cup Final, Avalanche already lead
the series three games to two. NASCAR is finally resumed
after about a two hour lightning and rain delay, their
second delay in Nashville. Today. Things resumed just about fifteen

(01:48:17):
minutes ago, So they still got a little ways to go,
to say the least, on this race, we still haven't
even got to lap two hundred. There are three hundred
lab scheduled. Martin truex Jr. In the league, Denny Hamlin
running second, Kyle Busch in third, Xander Schoffley won the
Travelers by two strokes. Rory McElroy tied for nineteenth place.
As for the other baseball, earlier today, Miami on a

(01:48:39):
solo homer bottom of the ninth beat the Mets three
to two. The game had been tied to to since
the third inning. The Yankees one in ten over Houston
six to three. And I missed it. And there was
some idiot that left right before Judge hit the walk off,
probably not just one on a home run by Aaron Judge.
He has twenty eight now this season. Minnesota first in

(01:49:01):
the AL Central by two games over Cleveland. Now. Minnesota
beat Colorado six three, while Cleveland lost at home to
Boston and rich Hill eight to three. The Boston Red
Sox have won seven games in a row at Milwaukee
ten three, Brewers over Toronto. The lost to Jose Burrios,
another awful starts. The r A is five point eight six.
The Brewers are first place in the NL Central now

(01:49:22):
one game over the Cardinals, who lost at home in
ten innings against the rival Cubs six five. And Cardinals
starter Jack Flaherty left after two innings today with shoulder stiffness.
He had missed the first two and a half months
of the season with a shoulder injury. Philadelphia came back
to win at San Diego eight five. The Angels beat
Seattle two to one, getting their two runs in the

(01:49:43):
bottom of the seventh and kudos to the mets A
ball affiliate, the Brooklyn Cyclones, who today held an Eastern
European theme day, with all the proceeds going to assist
humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. They had Ukrainian flag themed jerseys
to where today Ukrainian national anthem before the first pitch
as well. Back do you? Steve brought up something that

(01:50:07):
I thought was interesting that you know, the whole rain
delay in NASCAR lightning and all that. Correct me if
I'm wrong? Did Major League Baseball have put forth an
effort to make decisions way ahead of time now compared
to past seasons? Have you has anyone else noticed that
where you used to find yourself like, oh am I
going to the game? Should I go? Or like last minute,

(01:50:27):
like oh it's a delight, Oh it's canceled? Where I
feel like this year especially, you're like the game's canceled
already and it's like early in the morning and they've
already made the decision. Have you noticed that I haven't
noticed that you haven't. No, no, no, you'll notice it
now that I said it. But they there, I don't
think they want people to have to go all the
way out to the park to all that if it's questionable,

(01:50:48):
I think they're really trusting these these forecasts. They really are.
Like there's games that are canceled way ahead of time
compared to pass seasons because there's no more annoying feeling
than being at a game, and it gets called it's
the worst, it's the weakest feeling ever. And Steve also
gave us the Stanley Cup Finals update. And you posed

(01:51:09):
that little fun fact earlier, rich about both teams don't
end in an S no plore rightening and Avalanche. And
the fun fact, the cliche fun fact is there's only
four teams in the NBA that don't end in an
S for the fun of radio. Do you know what
they are? Jazz, Yea, Magic, Heat, Jazz, Magic, Heat, Nets, Nicks, Caves,

(01:51:40):
Bulls Side. Should I just say Sonics? Um, yes, I'm
going back to the nineties and they end in an S.
So now yeah, no, I'm so Jazz Heat, Magic, And
I mean we've all heard this doozy before. Why am
I blanket on the four team? Whate's wrong with me?
Do you want it? No? No? Give me three seconds? Okay, yeah,

(01:52:02):
don't use the Google Machine fashion going. I'm giving you
the old fashioned what let's use our brain? Yeah? Oh
for for NBA teams that do not end with the
letter hate Jazz Magic. I don't want to, I don't
want to look, and I don't want to waste anyone's time.
Go ahead, I'm gonna punch myself in the nose thunder.

(01:52:28):
You know what's funny is we we've heard that a
million times too, and it's always like the Google has
disabled us all. Anyway, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Sunday.
Thank you guys for hanging out at Covino and Enrich
to hit us up eight Fox. I'm Steve Covino out
here uh in New Jersey on the East coast. Rich
Davison l A, you go have a tailor Ham sandwich

(01:52:48):
while I say what's up to Daniel Texas? What's up? Daniel? Hey?
What about? What about Catfish Hunter? And how come didn't
mention the the score with Ole miss and Oklahoma for
the College World Series? You know what, Steve the Sager
will be punished. Thank you for pointing that out. Yeah yeah,

(01:53:09):
and again Catfish Hunter great personality, but we're having to
go back forty plush years to find players that were like, yeah,
that guy was real crazy guy. Probably more than almost
fifty years. Um. Not that it doesn't count, but it
counts the point. It proves the point that we lack

(01:53:30):
that in today's sport. Yeah, and I think the funny,
charismatic baseball player there's a wide opening. I said it before,
there's a wide open spot for someone to be the guy.
So who's gonna step up and be the guy who knows? Um?
I wanted to end on this. Let me pose this
and then we'll come back and take some less minute feedback.
There's a difference between being cocky and confident. There's a

(01:53:52):
difference between being arrogant and just sure of yourself. Right there,
there's a thin line, right, and I always said it
was humor, right, like he cocky? No? Is he cocky?
Or is he five? If you could laugh at yourself,
you're confident. Right that we've always we've always had a
hard time to say if you could do it with
a smile, you're leading with confidence, less cockiness. Now there's

(01:54:15):
a rookie that's gonna be on the Indiana Pacers, Benedict
Matherin and the dude hasn't played a minute in the NBA.
In fact, we look up when this guy was born.
I feel like this guy was born when you and
I were friends, Benedict Matherin. Let me look up when

(01:54:36):
this when this dude was born. Benedict Matherine was born
in two thousand two. This guy, this guy was born
when Kelly Clarkson one American idol. This guy was born
when you, uh, I mean when you were working as
a grown man. I was friends with you at the time. Yeah.

(01:54:57):
We I think we had just become friends and like
a little bet addictive was born, remember um Ben. I
think Matherin is gonna be a rookie in the NBA.
And this is what he said. Lebron is gonna have
to show me he's better than me. Yeah. I saw that,
and I'm I'm like, what let me, I'm like, let
me look. Give a quote. His first game is against

(01:55:19):
the Lakers, and this is what he said. A lot
of people say he's great in reference to Lebron. I
want to see how great he is because I don't
think anyone's better than me. He's gonna have to show
me he's better than me. This kid who was in
Baby It was in diapers when you and I started

(01:55:39):
doing radio together. Confidence or cockiness? Twenty year old kids
saying Lebron is gonna have to prove it all to
state the Obviously, Lebron doesn't have to prove anything to
anybody at this point. But what I really think he
means is like at this stage of the game, right,
I mean, he's saying, I think me and my prime
is better than old leb On. I think that's what

(01:56:01):
he kind of the benefit of the down. There's a
part of me that sort of admires his like over
the top confidence. But at the same yeah, no, it
didn't make candads. But I'm thinking to myself, what what
what makes people likable? When Kobe respected when back it up,
when Kobe, when Kobe respected Michael Jordan's when Lebron respected Kobe?

(01:56:24):
When you respect the legends that came before you, you
you in turn, by the fans are looked at us
like he knows what he's getting into, this guy being like, Yo,
Lebron's gonna prove he's good to me. People are gonna
root against this guy, and we'll take any less minute
of feedback. Next right here, comin on Rich on Fox
Sports Radio. Yeah, Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Sunday, you

(01:56:51):
know what we gotta do. Let's go to get a
quick update from Steve to say or some breaking news.
Game six and the title to Colorado. This Stanley Cup
Final has ended with the Adds winning on the road
at Tampa Bay to one the final, taking the series
four games to two. Avs had two goals in the
second period, including Thisalanche Manson McKinnon back for Manson Captober

(01:57:16):
It's it's all work of art Altitude Radio Network and
eventually a to one final. So the only gold Tampa
Bay had was in the opening minutes of the game.
Shout out the rest of the way. Congrats to Colorado,
a team that was seven and oh on the road
this postseason. Until this series, there will be no Game seven.

(01:57:37):
The Avs win the Stanley Cup. They were in the
Cup final for the first time in over twenty years.
I'll give that. And now it's onto Russell Wilson to
see what he could do for the city of Denver Um.
That's probably their next best bet, right when you think
about that city they have, it's such a Denver is
such a fun place. So I'm happy for the Avalanche.
Happy for them, Um Covino and Rich I know we

(01:57:59):
don't have a few minutes left. Any final thoughts Cavino,
as as we get into Benedic Benetic matherin. You know
the guy who do look you gotta look at it
is sports, right, So you want your young players to
come up with a sense of confidence, but to immediately
call out one of the great saying Lebron James has
to prove to me how good he is. I think

(01:58:19):
I'm better than him. I like that, I think I'm
better than him. Part right, because you're like, wow, this
guy has like imagine this the fight game. You have
to have that sort of belief in yourself if you
even want to get to that level. Right, But if
that fighter wants that respect, he has to prove it.
You have to walk that walk. You could talk a

(01:58:41):
big game all you want, but if he doesn't step up,
then he just doesn't ever earn the respect and looks
like a fool. Yeah, you're supposed to think you're the
best at what you do, especially at that elite level.
But and then he's comparing his young self to an
older player in the NBA who's still one of the legends,
So you know, he's setting himself up for failure in
this particular. I was just about to say that. I said,

(01:59:04):
now all eyes are on this kid for supposed to
he starts stinking, everyone's gonna be like, oh, yeah, you're
real good kid. That and the only way, yeah, the
only way out of this. And like I said, when
people trash talking fights is to walk the walk. Then
all you could say is wow, you know he was right? Kids,
pretty see that happening. Yeah, and I don't see that happening.
By the way, We're getting out of here in a minute.
Your quick thoughts. It's finalized. You're a big fight guy,

(01:59:28):
Jake Paul Tommy Fury August six, and it's going down
in uh in New York where you're at right now,
Madison Square Garden. Jake Paul says he's gonna knock Tommy
Fury's head off, and you know he's finally fighting a boxer.
So what could the critics possibly say? Now, you know
it's gonna be it's look for the spectacle of it all.
It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be something we all

(01:59:49):
watch and talk about. And my lane am I Lane
for being excited about this one. For all the fights
you talked about, and I'm like, I'm like Jake Paul
versus Tyson Fury's little brother. I'm hey as a fight fan.
I love a legitimate fight, but I'm excited about this
one too. Man. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then,
Riven therety Baby, see you in the Promised Land by fine, Bye, guys,
