Little East Coast unnecessary plural in there. Yea gabba ghoul

We got to talk about Michael Jordan, We got to
talk about AI broadcasters. We got to talk about what
people say on social media? Do you take their word
(01:26):
for it or is it all bs? I want you
to think about that now because we'll get into it later.
We obviously know that people brag a lot on social media.
We often say, are you bragging or sharing? You're really
just bragging, right, It's one big brag ninety percent of
the time. And we've learned that what we see isn't
always real. But what about this stuff they're posting, the
(01:49):
things that people say, do you put any credibility into that?
I mean, social media is an extension of you, but
is it? There's a story involving Antonio Brown and another
one involving the Pope. Never thought I would have that
sentence exactly. So we have lots to get to, including
last one standing. We do it every Monday. We're gonna
do uh some trivia, your chance to win a seeing

rump is start. How's your Mother's Day? Weekend? Man, it
was a lot of as most people carrelate, a lot
of kids sports use the pool a lot. This weekend
it was. It was weekend one kid sports and watersports
of the of the pool. Just dude, cannonballs and dives
and I feel like I spend Saturday and Sundays. You know,
(02:58):
as you said, when you have kids by the pool,
you just making sure you keep everyone alive. Yeah, that's
your job as a parent. Don't do anything dumb kidds.
Don't go dine on me. So yeah, it was a
good weekend. Happy Mother's Day. Hopefully, like you said, you
enjoyed your NBA. Now the NBA in the News on
a Monday, and it has nothing really to do with
the playoffs. You would think, Man, is it about how
the Knicks might just give this series right back to
(03:20):
the Celtics today? Is it about can the Warriors just
hold on without Steph until he recovers? No, the story
is about Michael Jordan, and the story is about NBC.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the story
because I was like, what it just seems so weird.
And that's really what we're asking what?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Who? Where?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Why? We're actually asking more of the why who now,
not complaining who is? Everybody knows who is Michael Jordan, or,
as they're calling now, special contributor for NBA on NBC
and Peacocks starting next year twenty twenty six. Special contributors
the most vague stuff you could say. That way they
(04:02):
could figure it out later. Special contributor could mean one
time he does a sit down interview, or special contributor
can mean he's part of the weekly coverage or analysis, right,
And that would be crazy because we don't know Michael
Jordan on that level. That was part of the reason
why we loved him so much. There was so much
mystique around the guy like you referenced earlier Rich on
(04:23):
our Patreon show. Yeah, we know how he felt about
certain players like Kobe and you know Lebron. He never
gave Lebron really the love that I think Lebron wanted
from him. We know how he feels here and there,
but as far as game to game, day to day analysis,
we never got that sort of insight from a Michael Jordan.
So that's like a weird place to see him. And
then you have to ask yourself, Well, he doesn't need
(04:46):
the money, so why there's something cool about his mystique.
Now he's putting himself out there to be speculated upon,
much like Tom Brady in the booth. You know, it's
like did Tom really need that? Well, there's life after sports,
your life after the field and on the court. My
thinking is simply, Michael Jordan. We saw the last dance
(05:08):
during COVID, and what I think struck people was, oh, wow,
he's a competitive maniac. Yeah wow, Michael. We don't want
to know. We heard and we could assume, but we
never heard those backstories like he's competing with the security guy.
Yeah you heard the stories, but not like the full stories, right,
And you know, the whole joke of him looking at
the iPad. I took that seriously. Michael Jordan, we learned
(05:30):
a lot more about him through a documentary, because you're right,
there is a mystique and a mystery, oddly enough about
the most popular sports icon of our lifetime. So the
fact that he's going to be doing anything with coverage,
like we know Shaq and Barkley, he like to bust
each other's shops. They make fun of each other. Yet
they mock the game now and that's a little counterproductive, Ernie,
(05:54):
Like that whole crew is fantastic, right, Ernie Kenny. You
got the broadcasting chops and Charles. But what does a
guy like Michael Jordan bring to the table, which is
where we open it up to you. What do you
want to see? And by the way Michael Jordan doing,
does he start cutting in like the other old heads
like the Barkleys and Shacks of the world where they're
(06:16):
just dumping on these younger dudes, Because that might be
a bad look too, That might be something we don't
want to see from Michael Jordan. Or are you interested
in his insight? I am, but I don't know if
that's what we're gonna get. But now an interviewer like
you reference counter productive Camino of Michael Jordan just hops
on NBC and starts talking about load management and soft
(06:38):
players and all because that's what the league doesn't need.
They don't need another veteran Hall of Famer dumping on
the league. Yeah. So has Jordan become like the NBC cheerleader?
Right right?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know, really interesting stuff? Michael Jordan breaking news this morning.
I was like what, and then your mind thinks the
worst and then you read the little story, You're like,
special contributor, What does that even mean? Contributor? Okay, I
can meet a wide riot of things, and he's a
special guy. So his special contributor coming next season for
the NBA. A brand like his and a name like
(07:09):
his can only help the league. But again, I think
the biggest question is why, maybe only he could for
only so many decades. He's justus bored and that's it
and be like rich and awesome, Like what if Michael
Jordan's like I could go take my private jet to
play golf anywhere. You know, I could just sit back
and watch my billions. Yeah, but in today's world, right,
(07:30):
accumulate when you're putting yourself out there and you're putting
your opinions out there, and it's a two way street
of social media, Like he is setting himself up for
extra criticism and back and forth with these players, and
he may be exposed with his opinions and his thoughts
where he never was before. And that's why he maintained
a level of awesomeness in our minds. Is we didn't
(07:52):
know all about Michael Jordan.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Well, he does keep himself busy with NASCAR. He's the
co owner of a team playing it there. Yeah, and
he's he's there at the garage throughout the week and
then of course on race days he's there with the team.
So he's kept himself competitive with that sport. So it
would surprise me if he has a full time role
with NBC.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Maybe if you remove yourself from something long enough, you
could come back in with a fresh set of eyes.
Maybe up until recently, Michael still feels like I'm too
close to the game, I'm too connected. I played with
players that are still playing or you know, I mean
that's ended a little while now, but still maybe maybe
that was sort of now it's just time Yeah, I'm
curious to see, you know what inspired him, because here's
(08:35):
the few factors. He can't be the money, right you
would assume camp between racing stuff and his branding stuff
Nike and everything else, can't be the money that enticed him.
So the why is most likely because he feels that
he has something that we want to see, some insight
that is intriguing, interviewing skills that we never thought about.
(08:59):
Maybe I mean, have something just straight bored him, like
like Rich said, the time is right, Like he's just
bored in his time to get back to what really
defines Michael Jordan, which is basketball. He said something a
few minutes ago to Danny and it's a really interesting point.
That's I think a big factor, would I say, He said,
Michael Jordan has never lived in a world where what
(09:21):
he says and does is is open for a back
and forth and a criticism. Michael Jordan did what he did.
Who's gonna question him? A Chicago reporter. Yeah, we had
like a young player be like, man, Michael, shut up. Man,
he doesn't know what he's talking about. There's there's never
been a world where Michael Jordan, after a while had
to answer it to anyone because the reporters all looked
at him as like an icon. You know, he he left,
(09:44):
he won three in a row, left, came back, won
three in a row, and even when he was a wizard,
there was a sense of like he's doing it like
the good of the league. Like what a guy, by
the way, he's so revered and he's so special, special contributor.
Michael Jordan to get criticism from Shaq and Barkley, it's
expected at this point, right we all know that Shack
and Barkley's not kissing anyone's ass. But imagine growing up
(10:06):
idolizing Michael Jordan and now he's the guy dumping on
your game or it's gonna sting a What if Michael
takes a liking and throws like ridiculous props to someone
in particular, like an Anthony Edwards, like it's an or
maybe he's like you guys might not see yet, but
Michael Jordan here when ben Yam is gonna win six
(10:26):
or more like I did, like he could very well
throw some heavy weight. Let me ask you find someone
as a broadcaster, you know, has he found his new
basketball or is he going to be more of a
baseball guy. You think he's'd be great, or you think
he's gonna be I struggling a little bit, or are
we looking way too into it because special contributor means
he's just doing some minor stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
To me, this feels like NBC just trying to use
his name lean into the nostalgia of what they were
known for when we were kids, especially with the Ai
story We're Gonna get to and everything.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's what and the John Tesh.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, that's what I took away from it is that
they want to flash us back and bring that feeling.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Back everything with NBA and NBC. Ah, take marketing. It's
just just a marketing tickles the nostalgia wavos. It really does,
like tickles your fancy. Yeah, but you don't get a
Michael Jordan unless he wants to do it. Yeah, great
move for the NBA, But there's got to be great
incentive for this dude. He has too much to lose.
(11:22):
He would get in the return of round Ball Rock,
which is maybe the best sports theme ever you can
live the sn I want I want basketball. Let's do
that one, Sam, Why not? That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Good basketball came, it came.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Maybe they lean into this one, Bsketball, these are the lyrics,
so bring it back round ball Rock. What's your first
reaction when you saw the breaking news Michael Jordan? Like shock,
like oh wow, that's or intro. Why Honestly, my first
(12:03):
thought was why because again he's he's a billionaire, his
brand his chilling, he's doing what he wants he could
you know if Michael Jordan wants to buy a racing
company or whatever he wants to do. Here, here's the
thing here, here's what I thought, and I want to
hear what dB things too, I thought to myself. Michael
Jordan lived and played in a time where he got
(12:25):
away with so much, and yet we still loved him
because we didn't know all the backstories, right, we didn't know,
and he survived the world without social media, so he
just slid by. It's like our parents in a way,
you know how they Dad never checked in. He was
probably at the Newdy bar. But he just grew up
in that time and we loved him for it. Anyway,
Dad got home late because he was at the Newdy bar.
(12:45):
Michael Jordan, we don't know what he was up to.
We don't know what he was thinking. And he got
away in a time where it didn't exist. And Michael
Jordan's so big Cavino that I feel like we all
the collective us think that Michael Jordan's probably who good
for social media? Right? So why enter a world now
where I don't know if he has the equipment to survive,
(13:07):
Like does he have the social media skills to combat
with today's annoying person? Does he want to expose himself
in this way set himself up for again media scrutiny
of today? He got away with it Scott free back then,
like now he's putting himself out there to be exposed
with anything he does or says. Is that really worth it?
(13:27):
And is there anyone that doesn't look at the different
world and he's so loved, like he's a different world
He's entering That social media world is brutal.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
I don't hate Michael Jordan, but I definitely did not
cheer for him in the Bulls in the nineties, you know,
like in that case, I don't think that there's any
way that he is exposed in this scenario to get
him to do this. They're not gonna say, Michael, how
do you think pacers calves sorts out. I just I
don't think that's not his not analysis, not his wheelhouse.
(13:57):
Yeah that's so, then what's.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
His first name of you is with Chicago Born the Pope,
Michael sits down with the Pope, Michael sits down with
Maybe it's like interview things. Special Contributor is the story
for NBA on NBC.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Yeah, this isn't Charles Barkley sitting on the desk of
inside the NBA. People think that that's so, this is
a special contributor, So everything is going to be packaged. Also,
when you look at the last dance, it was so
heavily slanted towards Jordan. Jordan had the last word and everything,
And I think my opinion of why he's doing this
is he still wants his last word. We're at a
(14:34):
point where Lebron's career is coming to an end. We
are also at a point where we're getting just further
and further away from Michael Jordan's career as it is,
and I think that he still wants that voice for
his career and his generation and that final, you know,
final word. He didn't do the last dance to have
people tarnish his legacy. He did it to try to
(14:55):
increase the legacy and show everybody what he was all
about to a generation that wasn't familiar with what he accomplished.
I would have to think that that would be the
reason why he does something like this.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, and he has a team of brand people I'm
sure that are steering the ship and advice on what's
great for the brand for the future. Yeah, that's a
great point.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
There's gonna be no who do you think Brooklyn's gonna
take with a sixth pick like that is that is
not why you have Michael Jordan there at unless any point.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Unless he records a version of everything and then they
do a post game and it looks like he just
knows Everything's Michael. Let's see who Mike liked? The Knicks
or Celtics. Well, i'll tell you I feel like Game
four Celtics probably buy six Celtics by six. You know
you're familiar with this in radio.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Rich people do this in radio to make sure they
have their their butts covered from Monday.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Yeah, maybe their version of Tony Romo. You can just
call things before they happen, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Imagine he's just or maybe you know, speaking of marketing
and things like that. In today's world, we've seen guys
like Tom Brady, who's also a goat, pivot to a
guy that we didn't really know a whole lot about,
like to a guy with a lot of personality to share.
Like we just started to learn about Tom Brady in
the past few years, like really know about the guy,
(16:10):
right because he was under Belichick's wing and they kept
business business. We didn't know about Tom Brady the guy.
Maybe he's seen the goodest stunned for a guy like
Tom Brady, and he feels he has something to add,
but not everybody's kind in this world to social media man,
and you said it rich. Michael Jordan's such a beloved
hero of ours that it'd be interesting to see people
(16:31):
hating on him because of a misstep he may have
or something he says, or his opinion. Then that might
not be the case at all. Perhaps Dan Byer's right,
that's not what we're going to get from the situation.
If I were Michael Jordan, I would go around telling
people today that Nike's up ten percent today, not because
of the tariffs, but because of this announcement, Because I
just looked at Nike stock and I'm like, man, that's right,
the tariffy, yes, but yes, you don't know, you don't
(16:54):
think that's kind of part of it because when I
think Nike, I think Jordan, Nike's one of the top
three brands that will benefit from Tariff's.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
DB's point if it's to protect his legacy and his
era of basketball, bring back a mad with Shad and
they could do like a throwback Thursday type thing we do,
or they do like you know, the throwback throw jams.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That backwards marketing, or would you say Jordan's the exception
because you want to appeal to the younger guys.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
You do, but in this age nowadays, I mean my
teenagers ask about Michael Jordan all the time and look at.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
His YouTube clips and the ultimately connecting generations. Yeah, exactly
if Michael Jordan could bridge that gap of like father
son or mother daughter of mother son, watch any games
like Michael Jordan. Watch him, he's sitting down and you know,
or do you think NBC threw some money at him
that he couldn't reform. I don't think this. I don't
think so either. I don't think again, we're just asking
the why man. Maybe the timing's right, he said, Like
(17:44):
you said, rich people get bored.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
After a while.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Maybe he's done golfing.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
With the style of NBC's presenting, how this looks like
it's gonna be, you know, a flashback to what they
were famous for, then I feel like it's connecting the it's.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
A bridge, like you said, it's a bridge.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Hey. And you may think we're over speculating, guys, that's fine,
but we've never really got to know Michael Jordan in
that way, and he's probably the biggest icon. He is
the biggest living sports icon period. No. Is there another one,
you could say a soccer star for debate, No, but
here in this country is Michael Jordan. No, I don't
care soccer star or not messy. When you look at
(18:22):
the numbers, dude, social media, but that doesn't then you're
talking about social media numbers, what they those are? Worldwide,
worldwide impact. I'm not saying Jordan doesn't have that, but
I'm saying dollar companies based on their silhouette on a
shoe and branding clothing. That's a for debate again, And
I'm a Jordan guy myself, but I can't tell you
if Ronaldo is worldwide more popular. I don't know. I'd
(18:46):
say it's it's debatable. I think here's where I want
to go with this because there's another layer to the
NBC coming back to the NBA, coming back to NBC,
and it has to do with a dead guy. I'll
explain coming up. But I do want to hear from
you guys as far as what do you want to
see Michael Jordan do. Let's forget what he's really gonna do.
(19:07):
What role when you heard this announcement, what would you,
deep down inside want to see Michael do? Would you
want to see Michael sit down and interview No Jannis
or interview Anthony Edwards or some of the young players.
I'd want to see him. I'd want to see his
insight and true thoughts on the players in the game today.
Would you want to we're gonna get Would you want
to see him goofing around at a roundtable? Or do
you want to see him more of an analyst or interviews?
(19:31):
Like I said, your thoughts. But right now we've got
some breaking NFL.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
News, breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
I know this tickles Rich Davis's fancy, even though it's
not forty nine ers related we have more and what's that.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You know where his fancy is? I'm not sure you
want to tickle it.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
We have more NFL schedule news. Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm ready. I knew they're gonna lead it's it's Wednesday,
but I was like, they're gonna leak everything in the
next two days. Yep.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Fox is having an announcement which I'm about to to
tell you we found out earlier today. It's Cowboys and
Eagles to start the season. Fox has chosen to tell
America that on Saturday, December twentieth, get ready for a
doubleheader on Fox featuring the Philadelphia Eagles at the Washington Commanders,
followed by the Green Bay Packers going down to Chicago
(20:21):
to face the Bears. Wow, and this is interesting. This
is Saturday, December twentieth. This is week sixteen. This also
runs up against the first round of the college football
playoffs for the three games on that Saturday. So Fox
is saying, all right, college football playoff, bring it on.
We're gonna give you Eagles, Commanders, Packers, Bears on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So two Eagles games announced the right, Yes, correct, So
we know more about the Eagles than anybody so far. Yeah,
I mean as of Wednesday. I imagine Dani'll keep finding
out a little tidbits along the way. But Wednesday is
the official schedule release and every year, the teams, their
social media teams right now are probably trying to think
of the most clever, cool ways to release the schedule.
(21:05):
I'll be honest, I love it. Every team comes up with.
The first two games are tough, the Cowboys and the Commanders. Well,
those are two division games. They're guaranteed to play those teams.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Yeah, the Commanders will be in December again, week sixteen December.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Yes, we know that schedule watching tickles riches fancy. That's
why we should have played this instead of breaking news.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
The rich loves to look at the schedule.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
GETU watch it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I love it. So, I mean, we're gonna find out
all on Wednesday, and that's when guys could start planning
and women could start playing their little weekends away, their
their family trips, their bro weekend. So the schedule officially Wednesday.
Thank you DV for that update. So you're right, comm
You know, we got two egos their divisional games, so
they're expected and they were obvious, but both in big spots.
The opening game and of course leading into Christmas week,
(21:53):
all right, a Saturday game to compete, That's that's the thing,
competing with the College Playoff. You're gonna have to match
up Washington Philadelphia, all right. Now, coming up, what do
you want Michael Jordan to be doing at NBC? And
another layer of this, there's a promo for the NBA

isn't Alan Iverson. So we'll get to that next CNR.

on the new and improved iHeartRadio app, search Fox Sports
Radio and stream away and enjoy the show. And right
(24:26):
now again, we're live from Fox Sports Radio studios. And
for over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shit fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. As I
thought about Mother's Day yesterday, dude, that awesome fun fact
(24:47):
Danny G hit us up with three pairs of brothers
have hit home runs on Mother's Day, making their moms
the proudest moms of all time. Do you know who
they were? The Ripkins, the Conseco Twins, none thes were Uptons.
They're all fantastic guesses. But brother start it with conviction, though,
(25:08):
brothers to each hit a home run on Mother's Day.
In nineteen forty two, the Dimaggioso, Dom and Joe, who
I learned during a documentary that Joe DiMaggio he did
those Mister Coffee commercials and he had stopped drinking coffee,
but he did it because the guy bothered him so much.
And over the weekend they call him the marsh and
(25:30):
Jason Dominguez, twenty two years old for the New York Yankees,
hit three home runs in one game, and he became
the youngest player since Joe d broke Jod's record for
the Yankees to hit more than two home runs in
one game. So the DiMaggio's then in two. Okay, the Giambies,
the Giambos, Jason and the late Jeremy and Wilson and
(25:51):
William Contreras did it yesterday. Yeah, Mama Contreras nice. So
as as we celebrated Mother's Day yesterday, I can't be
the only guy that I wanted to give my wife
a little downtime, like honey, just chill. You know you
you do so much with the kids, but no matter
how much dad takes on, like your kids coming Dad,
We're gonna go to Starbucks and get mom coffee. Hey, kids,
(26:11):
let's go in the pool. They still like will run
to mom and bother her throughout the day, like just
their instinct. They're instant, like, Mom, wipe my mutt, Mom
I need No matter how bad you want to give
her a foot massage, you always end u rubbing her cheeks.
So yeah, moms never get a break. So I mean,
I couldn't be the only one that was like, we're
gonna give mom a break today, but within every hour
(26:33):
the kids bothered her about something because it's mom. You know,
the mom doesn't get a day off. I'm sorry, yeah,
now it is love your mom's let's go to your
phone calls about Michael Jordan. Yes, Michael Jordan. It's not
a lazy lebron Jordan debate. It's I promise you it's
not that Jordan's gonna be part of the NBA on
NBC coverage as what are they calling them again, the
(26:55):
special contributor. But again, I think Dan Byer hit the
nail on the head because we're asking me first and
first mostly why why why Jordan? Yeah? Is it time?
Why would Jordan want to do something like this? But
we're expecting some sort of crazy analysis and breakdown from
Michael Jordan. That's what we would want his opinions on
(27:18):
the game today, and I doubt we're gonna get that.
And then we suggested, well, maybe he does a quick
little interviews. It's like, well, do you see him as
a Bryant Gumbel type. I don't see that. I don't
see him as that role. And then Dan Byer off
the Year said, it's probably just gonna be some overly
produced little segment on Jordan's advice or something. Yeah, over
(27:43):
the produced where you can't really picture stuff brand him
in a negative light. Yeah, it's they it's like low
risk stuff, low risk stuff. Yeah, I think that's probably it.
And it's so disappointing because, yeah, we'd want so much
more from that. It be weird to see.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I'll give you the best analogy. I remembered it during
the break. I said to Dan Bayer, there was recently
something with a lot of promise, and you're like, that's it.
Didn't they said? Mariah Carey was going to sing all
I Want for Christmas is You before one of the
NFL games during the holidays, and they kicked it to
a pre done video of her in a studio doing it.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I'm like, I.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Thought she was gonna be like on the field or something,
So don't get your hopes up as well. So yeah,
just sort of bending the truth here for the headlines, like, yeah,
he's involved, but barely. Let's say hi to Tony and Virginua.
It's uptown.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Hello again, what's up, buddy? I think it would be
so cool that he was the sideline reporter. Now it'll
never happen, but stadline up for the halftime interviews walking
off the court.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, like, no one would give MJ the cold shoulder.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It just wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It wouldn't happen. How would our boy, George Odno feel
about this. That's a good cry, George. You can imagine
to take away. See that's the thing. These NBA guys coming.
They take over the all the broadcasting jobs, our actual broadcaster.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Can you imagine the MJ and like some oversized like
Bill it's the word, uh billis? What's the Billowy suit?
And he's on the sideline, the microphone. He looked, he
look out of place.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But you know it's interesting Covino, but up a good point.
The last time we saw Jordan's suited up was like
in those nice oversized nineteen ninety six he comes out,
Is he like all tapered now and a David Byrne.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Like himself like Carmelo, Yeah, oversized nineties Carmelo at the
draft with the shoulder pads and everything.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I mean, I don't know if I've seen MJ like
a nice fitted current day suit. Uh, Georgia T you're
on a Covini on Wretch's out, Buddy B and R.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (29:38):
Fellas? Shout out Spotty on the video A shout out
big Apple if you know you know. I have a
couple of things on Jordan. I agree with Danny g
about it being I don't want might say like a
crazy take.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
I don't want it. I want to keep the mistique alive.
I want to as much as and I'm not a
I'm not a I was a born in I wasn't
born early enough to see him do his thing. But
I saw the last dance, and it's one of those
things where when you saw it. During the time that
you saw it, it was still during the run where
the Lakers were still like people were like, oh, man,
Lebron's still doing something something. So again, competition mystique.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Do we need more stories from Jordan's Again, We've we've
gone through the whole gambling incident, his golfing, his his
other stuff. I'm not saying it's not bad or you
can't tell different iterations of it. I'm saying, just like
Tom Brady being the greatest football player.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
Of all times and not doing well in in like broadcasting,
it's one of those things where you can be great
at something, but you know.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
You only could be grant at that one something.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, I mean, Jordan's proven that he's not the best
owner in management, right, I mean that that didn't work
out well, but they will not expose him. Read the story.
Maybe it's Belichick's Jordan that's doing this for the NBA.
Maybe it's that you. Maybe they have a show Jordan
and Jordans. I'm here on this stode, I'm here with
Michael Jordan, and we're interviewing who exactly. Oh, you want
(31:12):
to say hi to someone real coid, Well, then we'll
go to them by, Uh, mister, but remember the guy
used to see at the clothing store. Wait, the guy
that would come in last minute?
Speaker 10 (31:20):
What up, mister but Yeah, I can't I can't believe
he used to make fun of my biggest medical condition.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well, you would always show up when the store was
closing in five minutes.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
Yeah, all these years, I reached back.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I reached back.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
I reached back to grab my wallet over my shoulder
and my butt's so big.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Now, if you don't know who mister but is, go
back to last Thursday's podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, we talked about people that came in as the
restaurant was closing or as the store was closing. There
was always a guy named mister Butt who would try
on jeans and stuff and I'd be like ready to
leave the store, like come on with this guy.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
He'd tear them too with his big But it was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Crazy, and it's even crazier to hear from him after
all these years. But thank you. All right, let's go
to your palin ours Dan Buyer for an update, dB.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
What's going on, buddy, guys, get some NFL stuff to
you in just a sec. But since we are talking
hoops for the first time in his career, Bucks forward
Giannis and Tetakumpo may be open to options outside of Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
A report from ESPN says.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Giannis right now is being open minded was the phrase
that was used about where his best long term spot is,
whether it be in Milwaukee or with another team, with
the thirty year old in Tetekumpo apparently mulling those decisions.
ESPN also reports a Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is expected
to be a game time decision for Tomorrow's Game five
(32:42):
against the Pacers because of his ankle injury.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Pacers up three to one in the best of seven series.
Game four.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Celtics and Nicks seven thirty Eastern Timberwolves and Warriors play
at ten Eastern time tonight. Prior to all of that,
at seven Eastern, the NBA Draft lottery takes place. The
Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets each have a
fourteen percent chance of getting the number one overall pick.
That's the best of any team in the lottery. Capitols
and Hurricanes skating game four to seven Eastern, Golden Knights
(33:10):
and Oilers nine thirty Eastern time. Ragin today watched out
the practice rounds for the PGA Championship in Charlotte at
Quill Hollow, Philadelphia Eagles will allp in defense of their
Super Bowl title, hosting the Cowboys in the kickoff game
starting the twenty twenty five NFL regular season that'll be
on Thursday, September fourth. Within this past hour, we found
out that a Fox doubleheader will take place in Week sixteen.
(33:33):
That's Saturday, December twentieth. Eagles at Commanders will be Game
one on Fox, followed by the Packers and Bears. And
to take it a step further, some good points on
social media, guys. With the NFL having that tripleheader on
Christmas Day, this allows those teams to play on that
would play on Saturday, an extra day of rest if
you were to play on Thursday, December twenty fifth. So
(33:55):
we may see any mixture of Eagles, Commanders, Packers base
playing on Christmas Day. That makes sense, Yes, yes it does.
All unfolding DV back to you, guys, all unfolding the
three teams with the best odds again Utah Jazz.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
A guy like Cooper flag beause remember when when remember
the last time there was a hype of like Zion
and everyone's like, oh, I hope the Knicks at the
time pick it, and he went to New Orleans. Are
any of those three teams like take keep using the
phrase tackle your fancy today? Any of those seemed like
a good fit.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
So when Victor Wembinyamo went number one overall and the
Spurs won the lottery, a lot of people thought it
was rigged because they didn't want another team to ruin
Webbin Yama. Yeah, and they felt that he was safe
with the Spurs. That's how I felt as well. I
had those three organizations. Utah with Danny Ainge there, Will
Hardy has just signed a contract extension. I think that
people are thinking that Utah could come up number one.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
They pick Utah would be that. My instinct was that too.
I feel like Charlotte's just never it's never worked.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Yeah, there's some of the things that maybe Cooper Flag
wouldn't be a star in Utah, but I disagree.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
We shall say I appreciate dam Buyer's opinion, but you
know whose opinion I really want? Michael Jordan's. Mike, what
do you got to say?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
What's mister to say about this all.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Yeah, thanks d Be. Now coming up, there's layer two.
I just want to go with this quick. There's Layer
two of the NBA going to NBC and we'll get
to that coming up. It has to do with a
guy that's no longer live. Yeah, what is that about.
We'll get to that. Plus last one standing. Danny G
has prepared another great nerve wracking round of our favorite game.
So we'll do that, give away some prizes all coming
(35:34):
up right here on Fox Sports Radio. It's Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back. We're live from
the Fox Sports Radio studio and now it's time for
our tire ract play of the day. Pacers Cavs game
got heated yesterday.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
The penalty two.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Do you bring up a very valid point there? The
momentum is all in Indiana's favor. What Matherin did there
is simply unacceptable and inexcusable.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
It just doesn't make any sense. And it's it's been
but flagrant two? Is he done? Did he say flagrant two?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Yeah? Flagrant two is an ejection.
Speaker 9 (36:19):
He said, flagrant penalty two?
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Path?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Now? That's what he said?
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yes, he's done. He didn't say that Mathern was ejected.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
He didn't add on that part, but that's the rule,
and it looks like Joseph is.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Walking him out of the arena as we speak.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
An ejection. Pacers went on, obviously to take that commanding
three to one lead over the number one seed CALVS,
obviously without Donovan Mitchell. That's courtesy of the Pacers Radio Network,
and that is our tire Iraq play Oh the Day,
Big win for the Pacers one nine and for over
forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the right
terres for how, what and where they drive fast and
(36:53):
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, Tiraq dot comway tire buying
should be now again. We're Covino and Rich at Covino
and Rich eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox DNYG says,
we have another call about Jordan. Is it Belichick's Jordan
or Michael Jordan?
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Hey, what's up buddy to that? Gregan Connecticut?
Speaker 12 (37:17):
Hey, so just thinking I don't understand exactly what Jordan's
gonna be doing, but it started making me think about
disastrous On air stuff with I remember do you remember
when Joe Namas got drunk and he did his interview Dragon,
I want.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
To kiss you. You know what, though, man, maybe this
is the new drunk. Okay when you think of the goats, right,
Tom Brady, he's broadcasting now. He put fear aside, and
ridicule and criticism aside. He put his image and legacy
aside and said, you know what, I want people to
know more about who Tom Brady is. And I'm gonna
take this chance. And greatness comes with a risk. I'm
(37:55):
gonna go out there and do my thing. Tom Brady
didn't have to do all this stuff, and he did.
Whose Derek Jeters now an analyst. The thing is, you
put yourself out there for criticism. We're not used to
seeing Michael Jordan in that vulnerable situation. Is that what
he's gonna do or not? They're saying special contributor, We
don't know. I'll say it's the first time we're gonna
see Michael Jordan, in my opinion, not in a bubble
(38:16):
of some protection or where we're all like, oh m
j N me overproduced overhype nonsense, which it probably will be.
But there's one other note on the NBA on NBC
and the we're gonna get to some NFL some schedule stuff,
we're gonna play a game. But they had a promo
for the NBA going to NBC, and I want you
to take a listen to the voice in the promo.
Speaker 8 (38:38):
Listen the NBA on NBC is bad. See you this
October for the NBA season tip off.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
WHOA Now that sounded really nostalgic, right because the voice
there is a gentleman by the name of Jim Fagan,
big time voiceover guy. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.
What they are using AI to put that together, and
that is now a prime example of when you know
(39:16):
there's strikes and media tries to figure out who gets
the rights to someone's voice when they're gone because we've
never really seen it. But to me, that hits your
nostalgia bone a little bit. It's kind of like perhaps
tickles it's him, Yeah, well he does tickle and.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
They are going to use his voice for the upcoming season.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
That's insane. We said the one redeeming benefit of the
fight two weeks ago fatal fury Garcia Tia Fimo Haini.
That card in Times Square. One of the redeeming benefits
was the nostalgic comfort food known as Jim Lampley's voice.
But he's still with us. He's still with That's what
(39:53):
I'm saying though. But there's something to be said about Yeah,
that voice is familiar with us, and we like the
nostalgia in the feel of it. They're just leaning into
it in a different way, you know. Respectfully. Let me
throw this out there. I don't think there's a baseball
fan on planet Earth that doesn't admire the legacy and
the greatness of Vin Scully. He's broadcasted long enough that
(40:14):
if they really wanted to, there will be in the future,
if not already, a way where they could probably have
him call game. Is that fair? We want to give
you directions on your Google match, but Vin Scully could
probably with the database of every word he said in
his life out they could do it? Should they would they?
Is it wrong or awesome? And is this just step one?
(40:36):
Your thoughts at coviing on rich and eight seven, seven
nine nine on Fox using the voice it's wrong and
I'll explain why. Yeah, Using the voice of Jim Fagan
for the NBA. More Next

Little East Coast unnecessary plural in there. Yea gabba ghoul

people say on social media? Do you take their word
(01:26):

to think about that now because we'll get into it later.
We obviously know that people brag a lot on social media.
We often say, are you bragging or sharing? You're really
just bragging, right, It's one big brag ninety percent of
the time. And we've learned that what we see isn't
always real. But what about this stuff they're posting, the
(01:49):
things that people say, do you put any credibility into that?
I mean, social media is an extension of you, but
is it? There's a story involving Antonio Brown and another
one involving the Pope. Never thought I would have that
sentence exactly. So we have lots to get to, including
last one standing. We do it every Monday. We're gonna

was a lot of as most people carrelate, a lot
of kids sports use the pool a lot. This weekend
it was. It was weekend one kid sports and watersports
of the of the pool. Just dude, cannonballs and dives
and I feel like I spend Saturday and Sundays. You know,
(02:58):
as you said, when you have kids by the pool,
you just making sure you keep everyone alive. Yeah, that's
your job as a parent. Don't do anything dumb kidds.
Don't go dine on me. So yeah, it was a
good weekend. Happy Mother's Day. Hopefully, like you said, you
enjoyed your NBA. Now the NBA in the News on
a Monday, and it has nothing really to do with
the playoffs. You would think, Man, is it about how
the Knicks might just give this series right back to
(03:20):
the Celtics today? Is it about can the Warriors just
hold on without Steph until he recovers? No, the story
is about Michael Jordan, and the story is about NBC.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the story
because I was like, what it just seems so weird.
And that's really what we're asking what?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Who? Where?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Why? We're actually asking more of the why who now,
not complaining who is? Everybody knows who is Michael Jordan, or,
as they're calling now, special contributor for NBA on NBC
and Peacocks starting next year twenty twenty six. Special contributors
the most vague stuff you could say. That way they
(04:02):
could figure it out later. Special contributor could mean one
time he does a sit down interview, or special contributor
can mean he's part of the weekly coverage or analysis, right,
And that would be crazy because we don't know Michael
Jordan on that level. That was part of the reason
why we loved him so much. There was so much
mystique around the guy like you referenced earlier Rich on
(04:23):
our Patreon show. Yeah, we know how he felt about
certain players like Kobe and you know Lebron. He never
gave Lebron really the love that I think Lebron wanted
from him. We know how he feels here and there,
but as far as game to game, day to day analysis,
we never got that sort of insight from a Michael Jordan.
So that's like a weird place to see him. And
then you have to ask yourself, Well, he doesn't need
(04:46):
the money, so why there's something cool about his mystique.
Now he's putting himself out there to be speculated upon,
much like Tom Brady in the booth. You know, it's
like did Tom really need that? Well, there's life after sports,
your life after the field and on the court. My
thinking is simply, Michael Jordan. We saw the last dance
(05:08):
during COVID, and what I think struck people was, oh, wow,
he's a competitive maniac. Yeah wow, Michael. We don't want
to know. We heard and we could assume, but we
never heard those backstories like he's competing with the security guy.
Yeah you heard the stories, but not like the full stories, right,
And you know, the whole joke of him looking at
the iPad. I took that seriously. Michael Jordan, we learned
(05:30):
a lot more about him through a documentary, because you're right,
there is a mystique and a mystery, oddly enough about
the most popular sports icon of our lifetime. So the
fact that he's going to be doing anything with coverage,
like we know Shaq and Barkley, he like to bust
each other's shops. They make fun of each other. Yet
they mock the game now and that's a little counterproductive, Ernie,
(05:54):
Like that whole crew is fantastic, right, Ernie Kenny. You
got the broadcasting chops and Charles. But what does a
guy like Michael Jordan bring to the table, which is
where we open it up to you. What do you
want to see? And by the way Michael Jordan doing,
does he start cutting in like the other old heads
like the Barkleys and Shacks of the world where they're
(06:16):
just dumping on these younger dudes, Because that might be
a bad look too, That might be something we don't
want to see from Michael Jordan. Or are you interested
in his insight? I am, but I don't know if
that's what we're gonna get. But now an interviewer like
you reference counter productive Camino of Michael Jordan just hops
on NBC and starts talking about load management and soft
(06:38):
players and all because that's what the league doesn't need.
They don't need another veteran Hall of Famer dumping on
the league. Yeah. So has Jordan become like the NBC cheerleader?
Right right?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know, really interesting stuff? Michael Jordan breaking news this morning.
I was like what, and then your mind thinks the
worst and then you read the little story, You're like,
special contributor, What does that even mean? Contributor? Okay, I
can meet a wide riot of things, and he's a
special guy. So his special contributor coming next season for
the NBA. A brand like his and a name like
(07:09):
his can only help the league. But again, I think
the biggest question is why, maybe only he could for
only so many decades. He's justus bored and that's it
and be like rich and awesome, Like what if Michael
Jordan's like I could go take my private jet to
play golf anywhere. You know, I could just sit back
and watch my billions. Yeah, but in today's world, right,
(07:30):
accumulate when you're putting yourself out there and you're putting
your opinions out there, and it's a two way street
of social media, Like he is setting himself up for
extra criticism and back and forth with these players, and
he may be exposed with his opinions and his thoughts
where he never was before. And that's why he maintained
a level of awesomeness in our minds. Is we didn't
(07:52):
know all about Michael Jordan.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Well, he does keep himself busy with NASCAR. He's the
co owner of a team playing it there. Yeah, and
he's he's there at the garage throughout the week and
then of course on race days he's there with the team.
So he's kept himself competitive with that sport. So it
would surprise me if he has a full time role
with NBC.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Maybe if you remove yourself from something long enough, you
could come back in with a fresh set of eyes.
Maybe up until recently, Michael still feels like I'm too
close to the game, I'm too connected. I played with
players that are still playing or you know, I mean
that's ended a little while now, but still maybe maybe
that was sort of now it's just time Yeah, I'm
curious to see, you know what inspired him, because here's
(08:35):
the few factors. He can't be the money, right you
would assume camp between racing stuff and his branding stuff
Nike and everything else, can't be the money that enticed him.
So the why is most likely because he feels that
he has something that we want to see, some insight
that is intriguing, interviewing skills that we never thought about.
(08:59):
Maybe I mean, have something just straight bored him, like
like Rich said, the time is right, Like he's just
bored in his time to get back to what really
defines Michael Jordan, which is basketball. He said something a
few minutes ago to Danny and it's a really interesting point.
That's I think a big factor, would I say, He said,
Michael Jordan has never lived in a world where what
(09:21):
he says and does is is open for a back
and forth and a criticism. Michael Jordan did what he did.
Who's gonna question him? A Chicago reporter. Yeah, we had
like a young player be like, man, Michael, shut up. Man,
he doesn't know what he's talking about. There's there's never
been a world where Michael Jordan, after a while had
to answer it to anyone because the reporters all looked
at him as like an icon. You know, he he left,
(09:44):
he won three in a row, left, came back, won
three in a row, and even when he was a wizard,
there was a sense of like he's doing it like
the good of the league. Like what a guy, by
the way, he's so revered and he's so special, special contributor.
Michael Jordan to get criticism from Shaq and Barkley, it's
expected at this point, right we all know that Shack
and Barkley's not kissing anyone's ass. But imagine growing up
(10:06):
idolizing Michael Jordan and now he's the guy dumping on
your game or it's gonna sting a What if Michael
takes a liking and throws like ridiculous props to someone
in particular, like an Anthony Edwards, like it's an or
maybe he's like you guys might not see yet, but
Michael Jordan here when ben Yam is gonna win six
(10:26):
or more like I did, like he could very well
throw some heavy weight. Let me ask you find someone
as a broadcaster, you know, has he found his new
basketball or is he going to be more of a
baseball guy. You think he's'd be great, or you think
he's gonna be I struggling a little bit, or are
we looking way too into it because special contributor means
he's just doing some minor stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
To me, this feels like NBC just trying to use
his name lean into the nostalgia of what they were
known for when we were kids, especially with the Ai
story We're Gonna get to and everything.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's what and the John Tesh.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, that's what I took away from it is that
they want to flash us back and bring that feeling.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Back everything with NBA and NBC. Ah, take marketing. It's
just just a marketing tickles the nostalgia wavos. It really does,
like tickles your fancy. Yeah, but you don't get a
Michael Jordan unless he wants to do it. Yeah, great
move for the NBA, But there's got to be great
incentive for this dude. He has too much to lose.
(11:22):
He would get in the return of round Ball Rock,
which is maybe the best sports theme ever you can
live the sn I want I want basketball. Let's do
that one, Sam, Why not? That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Good basketball came, it came.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Maybe they lean into this one, Bsketball, these are the lyrics,
so bring it back round ball Rock. What's your first
reaction when you saw the breaking news Michael Jordan? Like shock,
like oh wow, that's or intro. Why Honestly, my first
(12:03):
thought was why because again he's he's a billionaire, his
brand his chilling, he's doing what he wants he could
you know if Michael Jordan wants to buy a racing
company or whatever he wants to do. Here, here's the
thing here, here's what I thought, and I want to
hear what dB things too, I thought to myself. Michael
Jordan lived and played in a time where he got
(12:25):
away with so much, and yet we still loved him
because we didn't know all the backstories, right, we didn't know,
and he survived the world without social media, so he
just slid by. It's like our parents in a way,
you know how they Dad never checked in. He was
probably at the Newdy bar. But he just grew up
in that time and we loved him for it. Anyway,
Dad got home late because he was at the Newdy bar.
(12:45):
Michael Jordan, we don't know what he was up to.
We don't know what he was thinking. And he got
away in a time where it didn't exist. And Michael
Jordan's so big Cavino that I feel like we all
the collective us think that Michael Jordan's probably who good
for social media? Right? So why enter a world now
where I don't know if he has the equipment to survive,
(13:07):
Like does he have the social media skills to combat
with today's annoying person? Does he want to expose himself
in this way set himself up for again media scrutiny
of today? He got away with it Scott free back then,
like now he's putting himself out there to be exposed
with anything he does or says. Is that really worth it?
(13:27):
And is there anyone that doesn't look at the different
world and he's so loved, like he's a different world
He's entering That social media world is brutal.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
I don't hate Michael Jordan, but I definitely did not
cheer for him in the Bulls in the nineties, you know,
like in that case, I don't think that there's any
way that he is exposed in this scenario to get
him to do this. They're not gonna say, Michael, how
do you think pacers calves sorts out. I just I
don't think that's not his not analysis, not his wheelhouse.
(13:57):
Yeah that's so, then what's.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
His first name of you is with Chicago Born the Pope,
Michael sits down with the Pope, Michael sits down with
Maybe it's like interview things. Special Contributor is the story
for NBA on NBC.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Yeah, this isn't Charles Barkley sitting on the desk of
inside the NBA. People think that that's so, this is
a special contributor, So everything is going to be packaged. Also,
when you look at the last dance, it was so
heavily slanted towards Jordan. Jordan had the last word and everything,
And I think my opinion of why he's doing this
is he still wants his last word. We're at a
(14:34):
point where Lebron's career is coming to an end. We
are also at a point where we're getting just further
and further away from Michael Jordan's career as it is,
and I think that he still wants that voice for
his career and his generation and that final, you know,
final word. He didn't do the last dance to have
people tarnish his legacy. He did it to try to
(14:55):
increase the legacy and show everybody what he was all
about to a generation that wasn't familiar with what he accomplished.
I would have to think that that would be the
reason why he does something like this.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, and he has a team of brand people I'm
sure that are steering the ship and advice on what's
great for the brand for the future. Yeah, that's a
great point.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
There's gonna be no who do you think Brooklyn's gonna
take with a sixth pick like that is that is
not why you have Michael Jordan there at unless any point.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Unless he records a version of everything and then they
do a post game and it looks like he just
knows Everything's Michael. Let's see who Mike liked? The Knicks
or Celtics. Well, i'll tell you I feel like Game
four Celtics probably buy six Celtics by six. You know
you're familiar with this in radio.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Rich people do this in radio to make sure they
have their their butts covered from Monday.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Yeah, maybe their version of Tony Romo. You can just
call things before they happen, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Imagine he's just or maybe you know, speaking of marketing
and things like that. In today's world, we've seen guys
like Tom Brady, who's also a goat, pivot to a
guy that we didn't really know a whole lot about,
like to a guy with a lot of personality to share.
Like we just started to learn about Tom Brady in
the past few years, like really know about the guy,
(16:10):
right because he was under Belichick's wing and they kept
business business. We didn't know about Tom Brady the guy.
Maybe he's seen the goodest stunned for a guy like
Tom Brady, and he feels he has something to add,
but not everybody's kind in this world to social media man,
and you said it rich. Michael Jordan's such a beloved
hero of ours that it'd be interesting to see people
(16:31):
hating on him because of a misstep he may have
or something he says, or his opinion. Then that might
not be the case at all. Perhaps Dan Byer's right,
that's not what we're going to get from the situation.
If I were Michael Jordan, I would go around telling
people today that Nike's up ten percent today, not because
of the tariffs, but because of this announcement, Because I
just looked at Nike stock and I'm like, man, that's right,
the tariffy, yes, but yes, you don't know, you don't
(16:54):
think that's kind of part of it because when I
think Nike, I think Jordan, Nike's one of the top
three brands that will benefit from Tariff's.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
DB's point if it's to protect his legacy and his
era of basketball, bring back a mad with Shad and
they could do like a throwback Thursday type thing we do,
or they do like you know, the throwback throw jams.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That backwards marketing, or would you say Jordan's the exception
because you want to appeal to the younger guys.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
You do, but in this age nowadays, I mean my
teenagers ask about Michael Jordan all the time and look at.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
His YouTube clips and the ultimately connecting generations. Yeah, exactly
if Michael Jordan could bridge that gap of like father
son or mother daughter of mother son, watch any games
like Michael Jordan. Watch him, he's sitting down and you know,
or do you think NBC threw some money at him
that he couldn't reform. I don't think this. I don't
think so either. I don't think again, we're just asking
the why man. Maybe the timing's right, he said, Like
(17:44):
you said, rich people get bored.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
After a while.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Maybe he's done golfing.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
With the style of NBC's presenting, how this looks like
it's gonna be, you know, a flashback to what they
were famous for, then I feel like it's connecting the it's.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
A bridge, like you said, it's a bridge.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Hey. And you may think we're over speculating, guys, that's fine,
but we've never really got to know Michael Jordan in
that way, and he's probably the biggest icon. He is
the biggest living sports icon period. No. Is there another one,
you could say a soccer star for debate, No, but
here in this country is Michael Jordan. No, I don't
care soccer star or not messy. When you look at
(18:22):
the numbers, dude, social media, but that doesn't then you're
talking about social media numbers, what they those are? Worldwide,
worldwide impact. I'm not saying Jordan doesn't have that, but
I'm saying dollar companies based on their silhouette on a
shoe and branding clothing. That's a for debate again, And
I'm a Jordan guy myself, but I can't tell you
if Ronaldo is worldwide more popular. I don't know. I'd
(18:46):
say it's it's debatable. I think here's where I want
to go with this because there's another layer to the
NBC coming back to the NBA, coming back to NBC,
and it has to do with a dead guy. I'll
explain coming up. But I do want to hear from
you guys as far as what do you want to
see Michael Jordan do. Let's forget what he's really gonna do.
(19:07):
What role when you heard this announcement, what would you,
deep down inside want to see Michael do? Would you
want to see Michael sit down and interview No Jannis
or interview Anthony Edwards or some of the young players.
I'd want to see him. I'd want to see his
insight and true thoughts on the players in the game today.
Would you want to we're gonna get Would you want
to see him goofing around at a roundtable? Or do
you want to see him more of an analyst or interviews?
(19:31):
Like I said, your thoughts. But right now we've got
some breaking NFL.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
News, breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
I know this tickles Rich Davis's fancy, even though it's
not forty nine ers related we have more and what's that.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You know where his fancy is? I'm not sure you
want to tickle it.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
We have more NFL schedule news. Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm ready. I knew they're gonna lead it's it's Wednesday,
but I was like, they're gonna leak everything in the
next two days. Yep.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Fox is having an announcement which I'm about to to
tell you we found out earlier today. It's Cowboys and
Eagles to start the season. Fox has chosen to tell
America that on Saturday, December twentieth, get ready for a
doubleheader on Fox featuring the Philadelphia Eagles at the Washington Commanders,
followed by the Green Bay Packers going down to Chicago
(20:21):
to face the Bears. Wow, and this is interesting. This
is Saturday, December twentieth. This is week sixteen. This also
runs up against the first round of the college football
playoffs for the three games on that Saturday. So Fox
is saying, all right, college football playoff, bring it on.
We're gonna give you Eagles, Commanders, Packers, Bears on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So two Eagles games announced the right, Yes, correct, So
we know more about the Eagles than anybody so far. Yeah,
I mean as of Wednesday. I imagine Dani'll keep finding
out a little tidbits along the way. But Wednesday is
the official schedule release and every year, the teams, their
social media teams right now are probably trying to think
of the most clever, cool ways to release the schedule.
(21:05):
I'll be honest, I love it. Every team comes up with.
The first two games are tough, the Cowboys and the Commanders. Well,
those are two division games. They're guaranteed to play those teams.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Yeah, the Commanders will be in December again, week sixteen December.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Yes, we know that schedule watching tickles riches fancy. That's
why we should have played this instead of breaking news.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
The rich loves to look at the schedule.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
GETU watch it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I love it. So, I mean, we're gonna find out
all on Wednesday, and that's when guys could start planning
and women could start playing their little weekends away, their
their family trips, their bro weekend. So the schedule officially Wednesday.
Thank you DV for that update. So you're right, comm
You know, we got two egos their divisional games, so
they're expected and they were obvious, but both in big spots.
The opening game and of course leading into Christmas week,
(21:53):
all right, a Saturday game to compete, That's that's the thing,
competing with the College Playoff. You're gonna have to match
up Washington Philadelphia, all right. Now, coming up, what do
you want Michael Jordan to be doing at NBC? And
another layer of this, there's a promo for the NBA
on NBC and some people have a major problem with
(22:13):
it and it has to do with a guy, a
guy and AI, a guy that's dead and that AI
isn't Alan Iverson. So we'll get to that next CNR.

(24:26):
now again, we're live from Fox Sports Radio studios. And
for over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shit fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. As I
thought about Mother's Day yesterday, dude, that awesome fun fact
(24:47):
Danny G hit us up with three pairs of brothers
have hit home runs on Mother's Day, making their moms
the proudest moms of all time. Do you know who
they were? The Ripkins, the Conseco Twins, none thes were Uptons.
They're all fantastic guesses. But brother start it with conviction, though,
(25:08):
brothers to each hit a home run on Mother's Day.
In nineteen forty two, the Dimaggioso, Dom and Joe, who
I learned during a documentary that Joe DiMaggio he did
those Mister Coffee commercials and he had stopped drinking coffee,
but he did it because the guy bothered him so much.
And over the weekend they call him the marsh and
(25:30):
Jason Dominguez, twenty two years old for the New York Yankees,
hit three home runs in one game, and he became
the youngest player since Joe d broke Jod's record for
the Yankees to hit more than two home runs in
one game. So the DiMaggio's then in two. Okay, the Giambies,
the Giambos, Jason and the late Jeremy and Wilson and
(25:51):
William Contreras did it yesterday. Yeah, Mama Contreras nice. So
as as we celebrated Mother's Day yesterday, I can't be
the only guy that I wanted to give my wife
a little downtime, like honey, just chill. You know you
you do so much with the kids, but no matter
how much dad takes on, like your kids coming Dad,
We're gonna go to Starbucks and get mom coffee. Hey, kids,
(26:11):
let's go in the pool. They still like will run
to mom and bother her throughout the day, like just
their instinct. They're instant, like, Mom, wipe my mutt, Mom
I need No matter how bad you want to give
her a foot massage, you always end u rubbing her cheeks.
So yeah, moms never get a break. So I mean,
I couldn't be the only one that was like, we're
gonna give mom a break today, but within every hour
(26:33):
the kids bothered her about something because it's mom. You know,
the mom doesn't get a day off. I'm sorry, yeah,
now it is love your mom's let's go to your
phone calls about Michael Jordan. Yes, Michael Jordan. It's not
a lazy lebron Jordan debate. It's I promise you it's
not that Jordan's gonna be part of the NBA on
NBC coverage as what are they calling them again, the
(26:55):
special contributor. But again, I think Dan Byer hit the
nail on the head because we're asking me first and
first mostly why why why Jordan? Yeah? Is it time?
Why would Jordan want to do something like this? But
we're expecting some sort of crazy analysis and breakdown from
Michael Jordan. That's what we would want his opinions on
(27:18):
the game today, and I doubt we're gonna get that.
And then we suggested, well, maybe he does a quick
little interviews. It's like, well, do you see him as
a Bryant Gumbel type. I don't see that. I don't
see him as that role. And then Dan Byer off
the Year said, it's probably just gonna be some overly
produced little segment on Jordan's advice or something. Yeah, over
(27:43):
the produced where you can't really picture stuff brand him
in a negative light. Yeah, it's they it's like low
risk stuff, low risk stuff. Yeah, I think that's probably it.
And it's so disappointing because, yeah, we'd want so much
more from that. It be weird to see.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I'll give you the best analogy. I remembered it during
the break. I said to Dan Bayer, there was recently
something with a lot of promise, and you're like, that's it.
Didn't they said? Mariah Carey was going to sing all
I Want for Christmas is You before one of the
NFL games during the holidays, and they kicked it to
a pre done video of her in a studio doing it.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I'm like, I.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Thought she was gonna be like on the field or something,
So don't get your hopes up as well. So yeah,
just sort of bending the truth here for the headlines, like, yeah,
he's involved, but barely. Let's say hi to Tony and Virginua.
It's uptown.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Hello again, what's up, buddy? I think it would be
so cool that he was the sideline reporter. Now it'll
never happen, but stadline up for the halftime interviews walking
off the court.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, like, no one would give MJ the cold shoulder.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It just wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It wouldn't happen. How would our boy, George Odno feel
about this. That's a good cry, George. You can imagine
to take away. See that's the thing. These NBA guys coming.
They take over the all the broadcasting jobs, our actual broadcaster.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Can you imagine the MJ and like some oversized like
Bill it's the word, uh billis? What's the Billowy suit?
And he's on the sideline, the microphone. He looked, he
look out of place.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But you know it's interesting Covino, but up a good point.
The last time we saw Jordan's suited up was like
in those nice oversized nineteen ninety six he comes out,
Is he like all tapered now and a David Byrne.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Like himself like Carmelo, Yeah, oversized nineties Carmelo at the
draft with the shoulder pads and everything.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I mean, I don't know if I've seen MJ like
a nice fitted current day suit. Uh, Georgia T you're
on a Covini on Wretch's out, Buddy B and R.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (29:38):
Fellas? Shout out Spotty on the video A shout out
big Apple if you know you know. I have a
couple of things on Jordan. I agree with Danny g
about it being I don't want might say like a
crazy take.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
I don't want it. I want to keep the mistique alive.
I want to as much as and I'm not a
I'm not a I was a born in I wasn't
born early enough to see him do his thing. But
I saw the last dance, and it's one of those
things where when you saw it. During the time that
you saw it, it was still during the run where
the Lakers were still like people were like, oh, man,
Lebron's still doing something something. So again, competition mystique.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Do we need more stories from Jordan's Again, We've we've
gone through the whole gambling incident, his golfing, his his
other stuff. I'm not saying it's not bad or you
can't tell different iterations of it. I'm saying, just like
Tom Brady being the greatest football player.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
Of all times and not doing well in in like broadcasting,
it's one of those things where you can be great
at something, but you know.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
You only could be grant at that one something.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, I mean, Jordan's proven that he's not the best
owner in management, right, I mean that that didn't work
out well, but they will not expose him. Read the story.
Maybe it's Belichick's Jordan that's doing this for the NBA.
Maybe it's that you. Maybe they have a show Jordan
and Jordans. I'm here on this stode, I'm here with
Michael Jordan, and we're interviewing who exactly. Oh, you want
(31:12):
to say hi to someone real coid, Well, then we'll
go to them by, Uh, mister, but remember the guy
used to see at the clothing store. Wait, the guy
that would come in last minute?
Speaker 10 (31:20):
What up, mister but Yeah, I can't I can't believe
he used to make fun of my biggest medical condition.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well, you would always show up when the store was
closing in five minutes.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
Yeah, all these years, I reached back.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I reached back.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
I reached back to grab my wallet over my shoulder
and my butt's so big.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Now, if you don't know who mister but is, go
back to last Thursday's podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, we talked about people that came in as the
restaurant was closing or as the store was closing. There
was always a guy named mister Butt who would try
on jeans and stuff and I'd be like ready to
leave the store, like come on with this guy.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
He'd tear them too with his big But it was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Crazy, and it's even crazier to hear from him after
all these years. But thank you. All right, let's go
to your palin ours Dan Buyer for an update, dB.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
What's going on, buddy, guys, get some NFL stuff to
you in just a sec. But since we are talking
hoops for the first time in his career, Bucks forward
Giannis and Tetakumpo may be open to options outside of Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
A report from ESPN says.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Giannis right now is being open minded was the phrase
that was used about where his best long term spot is,
whether it be in Milwaukee or with another team, with
the thirty year old in Tetekumpo apparently mulling those decisions.
ESPN also reports a Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is expected
to be a game time decision for Tomorrow's Game five
(32:42):
against the Pacers because of his ankle injury.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Pacers up three to one in the best of seven series.
Game four.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Celtics and Nicks seven thirty Eastern Timberwolves and Warriors play
at ten Eastern time tonight. Prior to all of that,
at seven Eastern, the NBA Draft lottery takes place. The
Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets each have a
fourteen percent chance of getting the number one overall pick.
That's the best of any team in the lottery. Capitols
and Hurricanes skating game four to seven Eastern, Golden Knights
(33:10):
and Oilers nine thirty Eastern time. Ragin today watched out
the practice rounds for the PGA Championship in Charlotte at
Quill Hollow, Philadelphia Eagles will allp in defense of their
Super Bowl title, hosting the Cowboys in the kickoff game
starting the twenty twenty five NFL regular season that'll be
on Thursday, September fourth. Within this past hour, we found
out that a Fox doubleheader will take place in Week sixteen.
(33:33):
That's Saturday, December twentieth. Eagles at Commanders will be Game
one on Fox, followed by the Packers and Bears. And
to take it a step further, some good points on
social media, guys. With the NFL having that tripleheader on
Christmas Day, this allows those teams to play on that
would play on Saturday, an extra day of rest if
you were to play on Thursday, December twenty fifth. So
(33:55):
we may see any mixture of Eagles, Commanders, Packers base
playing on Christmas Day. That makes sense, Yes, yes it does.
All unfolding DV back to you, guys, all unfolding the
three teams with the best odds again Utah Jazz.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
A guy like Cooper flag beause remember when when remember
the last time there was a hype of like Zion
and everyone's like, oh, I hope the Knicks at the
time pick it, and he went to New Orleans. Are
any of those three teams like take keep using the
phrase tackle your fancy today? Any of those seemed like
a good fit.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
So when Victor Wembinyamo went number one overall and the
Spurs won the lottery, a lot of people thought it
was rigged because they didn't want another team to ruin
Webbin Yama. Yeah, and they felt that he was safe
with the Spurs. That's how I felt as well. I
had those three organizations. Utah with Danny Ainge there, Will
Hardy has just signed a contract extension. I think that
people are thinking that Utah could come up number one.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
They pick Utah would be that. My instinct was that too.
I feel like Charlotte's just never it's never worked.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Yeah, there's some of the things that maybe Cooper Flag
wouldn't be a star in Utah, but I disagree.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
We shall say I appreciate dam Buyer's opinion, but you
know whose opinion I really want? Michael Jordan's. Mike, what
do you got to say?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
What's mister to say about this all.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Yeah, thanks d Be. Now coming up, there's layer two.
I just want to go with this quick. There's Layer
two of the NBA going to NBC and we'll get
to that coming up. It has to do with a
guy that's no longer live. Yeah, what is that about.
We'll get to that. Plus last one standing. Danny G
has prepared another great nerve wracking round of our favorite game.
So we'll do that, give away some prizes all coming
(35:34):
up right here on Fox Sports Radio. It's Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back. We're live from
the Fox Sports Radio studio and now it's time for
our tire ract play of the day. Pacers Cavs game
got heated yesterday.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
The penalty two.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Do you bring up a very valid point there? The
momentum is all in Indiana's favor. What Matherin did there
is simply unacceptable and inexcusable.
Speaker 9 (36:09):
It just doesn't make any sense. And it's it's been
but flagrant two? Is he done? Did he say flagrant two?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Yeah? Flagrant two is an ejection.
Speaker 9 (36:19):
He said, flagrant penalty two?
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Path?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Now? That's what he said?
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yes, he's done. He didn't say that Mathern was ejected.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
He didn't add on that part, but that's the rule,
and it looks like Joseph is.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Walking him out of the arena as we speak.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
An ejection. Pacers went on, obviously to take that commanding
three to one lead over the number one seed CALVS,
obviously without Donovan Mitchell. That's courtesy of the Pacers Radio Network,
and that is our tire Iraq play Oh the Day,
Big win for the Pacers one nine and for over
forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the right
terres for how, what and where they drive fast and
(36:53):
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, Tiraq dot comway tire buying
should be now again. We're Covino and Rich at Covino
and Rich eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox DNYG says,
we have another call about Jordan. Is it Belichick's Jordan
or Michael Jordan?
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Hey, what's up buddy to that? Gregan Connecticut?
Speaker 12 (37:17):
Hey, so just thinking I don't understand exactly what Jordan's
gonna be doing, but it started making me think about
disastrous On air stuff with I remember do you remember
when Joe Namas got drunk and he did his interview Dragon,
I want.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
To kiss you. You know what, though, man, maybe this
is the new drunk. Okay when you think of the goats, right,
Tom Brady, he's broadcasting now. He put fear aside, and
ridicule and criticism aside. He put his image and legacy
aside and said, you know what, I want people to
know more about who Tom Brady is. And I'm gonna
take this chance. And greatness comes with a risk. I'm
(37:55):
gonna go out there and do my thing. Tom Brady
didn't have to do all this stuff, and he did.
Whose Derek Jeters now an analyst. The thing is, you
put yourself out there for criticism. We're not used to
seeing Michael Jordan in that vulnerable situation. Is that what
he's gonna do or not? They're saying special contributor, We
don't know. I'll say it's the first time we're gonna
see Michael Jordan, in my opinion, not in a bubble
(38:16):
of some protection or where we're all like, oh m
j N me overproduced overhype nonsense, which it probably will be.
But there's one other note on the NBA on NBC
and the we're gonna get to some NFL some schedule stuff,
we're gonna play a game. But they had a promo
for the NBA going to NBC, and I want you
to take a listen to the voice in the promo.
Speaker 8 (38:38):
Listen the NBA on NBC is bad. See you this
October for the NBA season tip off.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
WHOA Now that sounded really nostalgic, right because the voice
there is a gentleman by the name of Jim Fagan,
big time voiceover guy. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.
What they are using AI to put that together, and
that is now a prime example of when you know
(39:16):
there's strikes and media tries to figure out who gets
the rights to someone's voice when they're gone because we've
never really seen it. But to me, that hits your
nostalgia bone a little bit. It's kind of like perhaps
tickles it's him, Yeah, well he does tickle and.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
They are going to use his voice for the upcoming season.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
That's insane. We said the one redeeming benefit of the
fight two weeks ago fatal fury Garcia Tia Fimo Haini.
That card in Times Square. One of the redeeming benefits
was the nostalgic comfort food known as Jim Lampley's voice.
But he's still with us. He's still with That's what
(39:53):
I'm saying though. But there's something to be said about Yeah,
that voice is familiar with us, and we like the
nostalgia in the feel of it. They're just leaning into
it in a different way, you know. Respectfully. Let me
throw this out there. I don't think there's a baseball
fan on planet Earth that doesn't admire the legacy and
the greatness of Vin Scully. He's broadcasted long enough that
(40:14):
if they really wanted to, there will be in the future,
if not already, a way where they could probably have
him call game. Is that fair? We want to give
you directions on your Google match, but Vin Scully could
probably with the database of every word he said in
his life out they could do it? Should they would they?
Is it wrong or awesome? And is this just step one?
(40:36):
Your thoughts at coviing on rich and eight seven, seven
nine nine on Fox using the voice it's wrong and
I'll explain why. Yeah, Using the voice of Jim Fagan
for the NBA. More Next
