Speaker 1 (00:07):
What I say doing What do you think of Ben Stiller? Yeah,
Starsky and Hush do it.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're the Starsky and Hush of Fox Sports Radio. Covino
and Rich Monday through Friday five to seven on East
two to four out here on the West Side. And
Thursday's the new Friday. So the weekend begins. We have
lots to get to. Today we're gonna talk some movies.
(00:34):
You can only pick three, we'll explain. We're gonna talk
some Ronnie James, some Shador Sandris.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Lots to get to. This is the stuff we don't
have time for, which, by the way, always sounds like
the wrong word. Nepotism. Yeah, I'm with you. Doesn't sound
like the word matches what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's the ism part. Yeah, let's just say nepo babies.
But yesterday was National Radio Day. We celebrated that this
week doing nothing, but we've dedicated our lives to radio.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I can't live without my radio radio.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Great movie with Cuba Getting Junior, by the way, actually
great movie. So radio tycoons, Cavino and Rich, thank you
for celebrating this week with us. But today is National
Senior Citizen's Day.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So hey, Rich, I hope you're having a good one.
Is that a stronger? Is that why you were on
lemonparty dot org earlier? Don't go there? Oh shit, dope.
So National Senior Citizen's Day.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It makes us think about the coolest old athletes and
you gotta tip your hat to if you're wearing one,
to the ones that are playing today. First, when it
comes to mind, Lebron James, he's forty again, old guy
on the court, young man in life.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We get it. But he's forty years old playing with
twenty something year old guys.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Props to you, Lebron James. I'm gonna tell Clayton Kershaw
you thought he was in his forties. I'm like, dude,
he's thirty seven. He just feels like he's one hundred.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
He's been around so long and he's hobbling around out there.
They treat him like the old guy against a tested
guy on the field, young guy in life, Lebron.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Aaron Rodgers comes to mind. He's forty one.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's the oldest guy currently in the NFL right now,
and this week a big week for Joe Flocco, name
starting quarterback of the Browns, forty years old. But he
might as well be one hundred and forty, which is
crazy to think he's starting against.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
All these young guys.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Joe Flocco won the Super Bowl for the Ravens when
the opposing quarterback was a hot young stud named Coline Kaepernicks.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We're talking twelve.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Years ago, so Flacco has been around, So props to
all the old guys. Again, old guys still doing it.
And it got us thinking about the athletes that we
grew up watching, because for whatever reason, they seem.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
To be a lot older. It's not just in sports.
Before we get to these athletes. Yeah, just a reminder,
like what forty fifty sixty used to look like our parents.
Props to the boomers out there. I'll give him this,
the boomers, our parents should look a hell a lot
better than the Great generation their parents when.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We were kids. I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Archie Bunker was supposed to be fifty, The Golden Girls
were supposed to be in their early fifties. So we're
talking about, like, look at all these people from our childhood.
Mister Roper was supposed to be fifty three.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Say this is.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Ridiculous, and Paul Rudd is older than all those people.
As the meme goes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Not the same.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Angela Lansbury was fifty three in that photo. Look what
fifty three looks like now?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, Sokayo Magara and angel Lansbury. I always put the
same category.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's just way different. Health is a priority, both TX
is a thing. Hair dye matters, I guess. So it's
just different. Different because growing up we were younger. Our
perspective was different because some of the athletes we saw
competing look like they were one hundred and five years old.
(04:01):
So on National Senior Citizen's Day, we reminisce and I
kick it off with a guy he's like my old
guy reference. I bring him up more than anyone on
Fox Sports Radio probably. I remember his a little pumpkin
pie haircut of kid watching the Yankees and be some
old ass senior citizen on the mound throwing knuckleballs by
the name of Charlie Huff.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Is this an old timey day? Is this old timer's day?
Charlie Huff? I had to look it up.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
He retired at forty six, But when he was out
there on the mound, that's actually.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
A great picture at Charlie Huf Spot. He looked like
he was eighty five years old. Is he played age
on his jersey.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
He played twenty five seasons, and props to him, but
he looked old. You don't see players look as old
as he looked back then.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
That's a great picture of him.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I think that if you're gonna tell about old players
from our childhood, you're a kid of the eighties and nineties.
I remember as a little boy being like the Negroes.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They could play.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Really Joe ed Phil Nekro just seemed ancient because they
had full on gray hair.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
They played forever gray hair.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Phil, I believe, retired at forty eight, Joe retired at
forty three. Phil Nicro played twenty four seasons. Joe played
twenty two seasons. So think about it. Forty eight year
old Phil Nicro had a full on gray Phil donahue
sort of look about him on the mound.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Forty eight playing in the big leagues. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So on National Senior Citizen's Day, we remember Phil and
Joe Nicro. Another guy I always thought was way old
when I was a kid, and he was, but he
looked way older for the time.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You remember a lot of these faces from baseball carts too. Yeah, Oh,
I mean John Sutton. He had that big gray afro
sticking out of his hat. You remember Don Sutton.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
He was forty three when he retired, but he looked
like he was one hundred and forty three.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Does Paul O'Neil asked for the dun Sutton at the
barber shop? I think he does.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
He played twenty three seasons, so over twenty seasons ages
somebody sixty five year.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Old John McEnroe.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And again, these are all great legends. He had long,
great careers, but they looked so old back then. And
this is a current one. Rich I got to bring
it up because if anyone follows fighting or boxing remembers
this happened. Rolli Romero, twenty nine year old Roly Romero
before he knocked out Ryan Garcia. He fought this guy
by the name of Ismael Barosso, and Barroso worked them hard.
(06:22):
Bro Barroso forty two years old, but he looks like
he's one hundred and forty two years old.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And everyone gave.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Roly Romero so much flat because they were like, yo,
you let grandpa whoop your ass, and Roly till this
day says yo, say what you want about this guy
being grandpa. I fought this old guy whatever he says
that this dude hit him harder than anyone else did.
Look how old he looks, bro. It looked like an
old man fighting a young twenty nine year old Roly Romero.
(06:48):
And that happened in twenty twenty three, so he's what like,
he's like forty four or forty five.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Now, this looks like one of those you know those
old timey photos where people just look very unhappy.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Dude that sit there for a long time, I don't
know that smiling thing like.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That boxer is Mayl Barroso he's twenty five five and
two twenty five now that's his records fighting record. But
it was funny because rolling Rmero looks like a young man,
so it was a young man fighting like a senior citizen.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I have one and listen. We we love to give
props to kickers. It's easier to stick around a long
time as a kicker. But we're talking twenty plus years.
This guy played until he retired at forty eight. Adam
Vinitari one of the best field goal kickers of all time,
but towards the end he wasn't even hiding it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
He's that white beard old man Winter.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I couldn't believe because we remember him kicking Super Bowl
Game winning field goals for the Patriots and then of
course went to the Colts.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But towards the end he did look like an inn
shaped Santa Claust.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's why I subscribed to the great Emmitt Smith, who said,
no play for mister Gray.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Your beard is weird.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That shit ages you. When you're a professional athlete. You
gotta you gotta die that shit. You're playing a young
man's game. It just makes you look old and out
of it. And I think the be all end all
example of aging and how different it is is when
you compare Tom Brady, who was old in the league
he played a long ass time or com prior to
like a George Blanda, who was also I think he
(08:19):
played to forty eight.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That was the picture that floated a down a few
years ago, this side by side of Blanda and Brady,
and it's like.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
What forty looked like in the seventies compared to now.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Think of that, he looks like damn Zulander.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
George Blando looks like a grandpa out there playing in
the NFL. If you told me that was father's son,
I'd be like, yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So on National Senior Citizen's Day, we salute you old
guys on over Promise with Covino and Rich. Who else
comes to mind? Who are we forgetting? Who do you
want to give an honorable mention to? Hit us up
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio hashtag over promise?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know who?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
We should give props too because he just played forever.
But we just we accepted it because he was a legend.
But Nolan Ryan in those Rangers days, you know what, Yeah,
absolutely no one. Ryan played forever. He was on your
Mets World Series team. That's how long he was around.
Long as time played with Tom sever a matter of fact,
like Nolan Ryan played with like Parry Bonds and baby
(09:20):
maybe not Baby Ruth, but something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Right, Like you know what, I'm sticking happy eight National
Senior Citizens Day. Help an old person, call up your
grandpappy if he's still around, and celebrate. Now, before we
get into movie talk, I want to remind everybody of
the Fox Sports Radio nation that we have a brand
new YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (09:39):

We'll tell you, is this a segment that you're producing.
Hopefully you go to a theater this weekend. Enjoy a
good movie weapons. Perhaps i'm hearing good things. Naked Gun
is still in theaters.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I don't know. Have fun, enjoy your summer.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Don't push it right, don't push those movies on me.
I'm gonna sit home and watch K Pop Demon Hunters again.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Hey whatever my kids floats your taco bell. But yeah,
movie talk, there was a mean that producer of over
Promised Spotty, our video guru of Fox Sports Radio Spot Daniel,
the host of Spots Center Spot sent us a meme
and he said, what do you think guys? You could
only pick three? So we said, hey, let's bring this
(10:47):
to over Promised. Yea, because much like snowflakes, and I mean, god,
go on, snowflakes and they're all different. Everyone's gonna have
a different three soup soup. We're all gonna have a
different three, or are we? So I'm gonna reveal my
three these famous sports movies. Yeah, you can only pick three.
(11:10):
And by the way, Coach Carter over Major League, over
the Natural, that's not part of the list.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That's not the list. Don't mean like, how is that
even in my grid? How is it in the grid?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Anyone's top if you're just listening, there's nine Friday Night Lights,
Rudy Coach Carter, remember the Titans, Mighty Duck, Space Jam,
Rocky sand Lot, Miracle.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Nine movies. Those nine you joint pick three.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
This is very much like our Tom Hanks conversation, like noe,
like you said, no two answers will be alike because
I guarantee, I guarantee we're gonna agree on one. And
then we're gonna straight from there because my my list
starts obviously like Rocky's Gotta Stay.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Rocky is on the list. Okay, well, I'll give you
my three with the big reveal. My top three are.
If you can only keep three, sand Lot has to
be there. I feel it's well it's older now what
nineteen ninety four, but it's a classic to me, nineteen
ninety four classic. I love the story. I think it's great.
Sandlot is in my can't leave. Rudy makes the list
(12:14):
for me. These are good ones, great movie, a young
Jon Favreau, a young Vince Vaughn, Sean Aston, Rudy based
on a true story, even though John Joe Montana said,
none of that is shit happened. Uh And like Rich said,
I think every list has to have Rocky. If yours doesn't,
we're not friends. Yeah, I feel like Rocky will be
the common denominator. Yeah, those three, I'm not with you
on the other two. I'm going to your I'm going
(12:36):
Rucky Balboa. I'm not going sand Lot because if I'm
gonna pay, I'm trying to figure out how i want
to make a well rounded list. I'm going Rocky obviously,
But if i'm gonna go kids movie, I think Mighty
Ducks Boorth Southern Sandlot for me. I mean, you always
talk about it, Mighty Ducks, Rocky, and then I do
love Rudy.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I don't think it's as good of a movie.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Rudy, rude rude Come on, Rudy, Rudey, rudey.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But guess what was like, he's so small.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
If you watch them now, it's not as good of
a movie as Remember the Titans.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I barely remember the Titans. I saw it recently and
it was boring.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Remember the Titans, Mighty Ducks and Rocky, Like I understand,
Denzel is the legend best actor ever, so darn cool,
so darn glorifying Rudy.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What was the last time about Rudy. There's like a
couple of weeks. But I was on a plane and
I want to remember the Titans, like within the year,
and I was.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Like, remember the Titans. Fantastic, right, Hey, everyone has a
different three listen. It was hard to leave sand Loot off,
But I really think Mighty Ducks is a more fun,
heartfelt kids movie than sand Lot.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Hey Spott, what are your three here? You're not gonna
like my three. We can't be friends. You're not gonna
put rock Rocky doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Go that's crazy. You meet Academy Award winner Rocky to me?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
And I've said this before, but Rocky to me is
just like a boring Saw movie. It does nothing for me. Well,
I don't know why you guys are obsessed with the
rest of your list.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Internally, I'm like Rocky four, We're okay, give me your
three four, We're on there. I'd be all about it.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
The Sandlot as a kid's movie. I think it's great movie,
all right, And I love narrated movies. Rudy because I
think it's just the underdog story he was, you know,
he was so little, he was showed, his dedication, his fights,
Vinceva on young and handsome, all that kind of stuff.
And then for me, which is ridiculous because I've never
(14:33):
been really a huge fan of the sport, but I
think the movie is so well done. It's so exciting
and intense and an amazing moment in sports history.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Miracle. I think Miracle is a fantastic okay, based off
real life. Just watch the real Time.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
No, No, there's something about the cinematic nature of how
they make that choice hockey game.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Look, you know, and then you got Kurt Russell's love muscle.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Everything about that movie.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Well, quick, plup the meme again because I want to
Friday Night Lights. I just think isn't as good as
Rudy or remember the Titans, so you could cross off.
Do you have a telestrator spot?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Uh? Oh? I do not hear you can. I thought
you were like John Madden in the ninety nineties. I
don't know if I made one on here, cross.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
That off boom boom backed in acting, have to give
me a second?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
No Madden then well anyway, cross out Friday Night Lights.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Because if you're got to pick a football movie, I
agree you're gonna go Rudy or Remember the Titans.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Coach Carter stinks. It's a good movie, but stinks compared
to what you're comparing it to. Not even Who's yours?
Coach Carter? So a teen wolf in there? Coach Carter Gone?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Then Space Jam over rated.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, good movie, but I know it's like it's near
and dear to a particular generation's childhood. The r Kelly
song I think sort of ruined it for me to be.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And I think Miracle is just a great movie, but
it's based on real life. Just watch the real life
so to me, Rocky Sandlot, Mighty Ducks or this, like
five or six, but I think four of them shouldn't
even be considered.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Ask your friends, discuss it, debate it. You can only
keep three, what are your three? Let us know at
Covino and Rich, you know what. Some of the battles
are good because I think where we disagreed, like Mighty
Ducks and Sandlot, well fantastic.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I just it's hard to It's hard for me to
be like am I in a Mighty Ducks movie because
Mighty Ducks is more heartfelt. But I think Salem might
be a better movie.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's quantastic. Quack quack quack.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
By the way, if we have the scene three, are
we like soulmates? If you and a woman have the
same three, do you gotta Bangladesh, you gotta get it on?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Or r?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I think it is. Those Those are my three, Those
are my rules. Those are my three. Well again, pick
your three.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Never happened the weakest three, you know, if you're the
weakest person I've ever met, your three would be like
Coach Carter, Space.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Trip and Freddie Knight. Ah, yeah, we're not friends anymore.
If those are the three, like, we're not friends.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Well you know what, Let's let's talk about nepotism for
a second. Nevlao babies, because I did find this interesting
when you talk about what jerseys you're rocking, it's really interesting.
I talked to an old buddy yesterday and he goes,
hey Man, Well for National Senior Citizens Night, an eezer.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Great to hear from your rich Hope you're having a
good one. What's your name again?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
One of my old school buddies, Tim, who's a big
Mets fan, he's like, you believe this team?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Like I don't know if I believe in him or not,
And he said, are you rocking any jersey? What's Lesson?
Bought a Mets jersey? That's a good question, because I
think I want to rock. Which has a rain night
jersey from eighty six?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I think I want to rock. I've a generic eighty six.
I think I want to rock the Blue Road Lindor jersey.
I think it's a sweet looking jersey and it got
me kicking with Soto. You got him for one hundred
and fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, but he's not. He's not my favorite, though, you
got it. I'm like, you gotta pick a guy you
like too.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But interestingly enough, when you look at the number one
selling football jersey.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
By the way, can I add him to the list
of old players because he claims he's twenty six.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I swear that guy's forty six.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Well, don't get in trouble like WF an right, didn't
Someone's getting oh oh yeah, yeah, claiming Toto's older than
he is, but he does like does he have that
glow as they said of a twenty six year old.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We'll see fifteen years from.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Now anyway of rookies in all major sports. I found
it shocking. Yeah, I do love that.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I do love No, that's all right. Is that the
one that I like?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
The one with the script New York, the new one
that might be the one that he turns around, I'm
not sure, but the Blue Lindor with the turn script.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Turn around Lindor.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I'm shocked to see that the highest selling rookie basketball
jersey was Brownie James and the number one selling NFL
rookie jersey. It's not Travis Hunter, it's not cam Ward
or Ashton Genty or anything. Shitdoor Sanders a backup quarterback,
but he's a Sanders.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
A backup, back up, backup, backup bat. Maybe we don't know.
The second gen stars haven't just taken over the media,
but the overall league sales as well. Hyped even before
ending the drafts, the rookie stories have been one for
the ages. Bronnie James, who entered the league this season
broke all previous records to make a whooping whopping fifty
(19:15):
million from jersey sales, a league record, while Shador, who
entered the league as the one forty fourth pick, still
sold more jerseys amongst the rookies. Like Rich said above,
cam Ward and Colorado made Travis Hunter closely follow.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
So by the empetism to round out the top five
in football. This share for rookie Shador's number one, Travis
Hunter and Kim Woard that was a likely two and three,
and then you got Ashton Genty and Abdul Carter on
the Giants is number five. Big market Giants believe in him.
But I do think it's interesting. Now he doesn't get
the money. But you said that number, Ronnie James, I
(19:51):
thought this seems impossible. He sold hundreds of thousands of
jerseys equaling fifty million dollars for the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Insane, right, So I mean, what's your answer there? Is it?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Is there a sense you think that these teams have
a pressure to play the guys because clearly the fans
like them, Like if you're if you're Cleveland ownership, is
there a party that's like, oh, should doors the number
one selling jersey of among rookies.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That means fans want to see want to see, right,
So that's an interesting question. It also poses these questions
is it awesome or nepotism? And how much does popularity matter?
Based on what Rich said.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Right, like do you think I mean listen if people
are buying tickets and and entertainment is a big factor
in why they're there, and we got Savannah Bananas and
Globetrotters and J Paul anyone that wants fighting, Tank Davis
and people love the spectacle and love the fun bigger
than that emits side of things. If these are the
exciting players that people want to see, do you give
(20:51):
the fans what they want? Maybe they don't start, but
you got to put them in. The crazy part is
showman shit matters. You play to win, and I don't
think there's any of this Neptit is bullshit that takes
place between the lines because you play to.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Win, not bob le style.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I really think like when people say, remember when people
were like, no one's taking a chance on Kaepernick. Trust me,
if someone thought he could help their team, he would
have been out there.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I do wonder though, if it's very close.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Like let's say, like Dylan Gabriel shoot or Sanders Man,
they're sort of playing pretty similar at that point. Is
there a subconscious like my fucking fans want Shador subconsciously
has to be right?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I would think so. Popularity matters? Does popularity win? What
are your thoughts? Sharing them again at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. Hashtag Covino is the man, Covino's
got a cool shirt on? Yes, tag Shazami, hashtag Rich
is a due, No, I'm just kidding and discuss it man,
