Cavino and Rich. Now, I want to let you know
on today's show, we're gonna get to one of your Yankees. Cavino,
how is Devin Williams gonna change baseball forever? Well, today's
(04:14):
a special day, not only two days away from Valentimee's Papa,
but it's pitchers and catchers reporting. Man, I thought that
was Friday. Yeah, catchers, pictures, and catchers are reporting. So
we're getting closer and closer to baseball now, which always
helps the post Super Bowl blues.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
About NBA Laker updates. We're going to talk about Robbie Cano,
but I got to give us a quick update on
a really fun conversation we had yesterday. We were talking
about Aaron Rodgers and we spent a good amount of
time having a really funny yet informative conversation. Well, we
(04:54):
went over every team. Really where could he possibly end
up if he doesn't retire. It really was a a
team by team breakdown of Oh, he can't go there next,
can't go there next? All right, that's a possibility. Dan
Bayer was weighing in, Danny g We all had our
thoughts and we said, twenty seven Giants.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
There was a few possibilities.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Raiders, there was like five or six teams. We narrowed
it down that twenty six teams. It's just impossibly. I
was talking to my dad on the way in, Oh,
I haven't talked to you. Super Bowl week sounded great.
Caught up with my dad. Oh, hi, Rich is your father.
And by the way, every voicemail he leaves me starts
with high Rich, it's your father.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Hi Rich is your father.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I know, I know what you dad, And he said
that was a great conversation, and we talked about it
even more. And by talking it out even more with Dad,
it's like, you know what, I see it going totally different.
I go, what do you mean? He goes, Oh, Aaron
Rodgers is such a peculiar yet intriguing dude that in
(05:57):
the world that all you guys living today can't just
guy team up with someone and just do a podcast
and make a ton of money. And then the season
starts and inevitably, unfortunately, there will be a top tier
quarterback that goes down.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Happens all the time, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, and Danny g you ever thought yesterday, We never
even thought about the idea of that team doesn't exist
yet because it could be a top tier team that
loses QB one and all of a sudden, Aaron Rodgers
is the answer to come in and save the team.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah, we didn't go over that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That was like the one blind spot we had in
that conversation, Like there could be any top tier team,
the forty nine ers, you know, the Eagles, the Bucks.
There could be any team that's a good NFC team
or AFC team where QB one goes down and the
quick fixes. Man, we have so much talent, we can't
just throw the season away. Aaron Rodgers, And I think
(06:57):
that's the answer, because I don't think there's a very
clear one. So since there's no clear fit, we're trying
to put a square peg in a round hole. Why
not just say he doesn't play and then the minute
unfortunately someone will get hurt. That's where Aaron Rodgers steps in.
It would be a great possibility and a great solution.
But would he be mentally and physically ready and prepared
(07:21):
to jump right back into the NFL. I'm stay in shape.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, I mean you would have to hope and assume he's.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Got a big ego so to sit around and be like, oh,
I'm oh wait, I don't know if he's that kind
of guy rich.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But he would also love to be the guy that
comes in and saves the day.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
That part is true to what goes.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Down unfortunately, knock on wood, Mike McDaniel, Yo, Aaron Rodgers,
he goes down to South Beach, saves the day. There
is a he hero, Joe Burrow, you know, high ankle
sprain out for eight weeks. There go my hero.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Aaron Rodgers comes running in justin Herbert Man rotator cuff.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
He can be a hero, babe. We're off to find
the hero, the Dame Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It could be anywhere.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
And yet we can't get this guy to do karaoke
at listener events.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
No, no, only when I want yeah, yeah, when he
comes out organically. Yeah, when you put pressure on me,
I don't want to sing. We need to be metalla.
Oh yeah, let's do it, me and you sam Ooh yeah,
well you mean next year's halftime performers. Let's hope because
it's in San Francisco, all right? You know what, rich,
(08:36):
I think that is a strong possibility. But only if he's.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like mentally prepared in that way.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm not saying that he falls off, but what if
he really makes a solid mental decision that he's done.
Sometimes when people make that decision, it's hard to come
back from it. Then again, there's so many pro athletes,
well the fighting and football.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Where they get that itch. You know, they say they're done.
But they want to play again.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I know he is, you know, one of one, the
guy you know went to ten Super Bowls, one seven
of them. There's a part of me that thinks Tom
Brady could step on the field tomorrow. But then again,
he's conditioned TB twelve, that's his You know, he looks
better now than he did coming out of the combine
twenty five years ago. But you're gonna look at Tom
Brady and say, you know, if he wanted to at
(09:21):
what forty six next year? You don't think Tom Brady,
if he wanted to, could be the quarterback of your Raiders.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
Danny j oh Just this past postseason, there's the video
of him throwing the nice tight spirals to Gronk pregame
and the internet blew up, like, see, this guy could
join a team right now. He could suit up for
the Raiders if maybe he signs his ownership shares to
his son.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Did you happen to see that clip of Colin? When
Tom Brady was on the Herd, tom Brady talked about
how when you hit a certain age, your football knowledge,
like Tom Brady's football a Q is unmatched. He said
that Super Bowl, he went into it against the Chiefs.
He knew what every defenders like little ticks and movements were.
(10:08):
He knew by looking at a linebacker are they going
to come at me? Or are they going to drop back?
Because he studied so much film, like when their arms move,
like I could tell that you know they're not going
to rush me. Tom Brady so studied and so disciplined
that I think, just based on his football IQ and
the fact that he stays in shape, could still be
a quarterback. So if you don't think Aaron Rodgers could
(10:30):
take a six month little break, come back mid season
if a team needs him, no doubt. Yeah, Tom Brady
was still playing well in his last season. Aaron Rodgers
hasn't played well in two years now. Yeah, but he
turned it on towards the very end. He sucked Aaron.
Aaron Rodgers also did come back in like record time.
He didn't come back as they didn't need him, but
he was on pace to come back in record time
(10:53):
from an achilles injury. So it's not like he's a
old man winter. It's not like he's Bartolo Cologne trying
to get back on the mountain. Okay, but his focus
is in a cave somewhere on a darkness retreat playing
the bongos. Tom Brady's focus was on football. There's a
big difference there. Where's your mind at, where's your head at?
As the basement Jack said. And by the way, since
you brought it up, if you think Tom Brady could
(11:15):
get back out there, and if you think in this
hypothetical Aaron Rodgers would just step out of the podcasting
booth to jump right back into football, this brings up
the Robinson Canoe story today. Yeah, Robin Cano thinks he
could very well just hop right back on an MLB team.
And I'll tell you this, every sport's different, right, I
don't know if I buy into that, man, Every sport
(11:36):
is different. Of course, that's a very blanket statement. Let
me explain. The downward curve at the end of someone's
career is steeper in all sports. Like you fall off
that cliff at different heights in different sports like the NBA,
you go from averaging twenty six to twenty two to eighteen.
You know, production goes down. You're a little slower football,
(12:00):
you know, wide receiver gets a little slower nine hundred
yards instead of twelve hundred. I feel like in baseball.
Some of these sluggers, it's just over. I don't know
what happens. You go from hitting thirty forty bombs, hitting
two sixty two seventy, and then all of a sudden,
it's like eighteen home runs, betting two to oh one.
It in baseball, it happens quick. And Robbie Cano, you
(12:21):
saw him go from a guy that was batting three
hundred something with a lot of home runs but knocketting
it a ton of ribbies. He still ended his major
league career seventeen year major league career batting three to
oho one, so he's still over three hundred. Great hitter.
He was so slick and so good in his prime
at second base that he got a lot of criticism
for being.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Lazy because he looked slazy.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
He looked like he was playing lazy because he played
so smooth and so effortless. Give me a year like
a prime year for Robbie Cano as a Yankee or
a Mariner. Give me like just a home run RBI
average stat line like in like a Robbie Cano All
Star year. I'm gonna have to look it up because
I was looking up his Mexico stats. You are in
Mexico Reference dot com. I was on Mexico Reference dot com.
(13:06):
That's where he played last. And that's why people think
that he still got some juice. If you don't know,
he played in the Mexican League and before that, he
think he played on the SpongeBob SquarePants team.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And I'm not even making.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That UPO wait to go Canoe. The point I was
gonna make was, but he lit it up in the
Mexican League, batting like four sixty something or four thirty something,
and he was hitting bombs and he was on his
major streak. So people were like, he still got some juice.
But Robbie Cano, Yeah, his best years were with the Yankees,
(13:40):
for sure. I got it right. Here took you too long?
Here we got it, wasn't long. I was telling you
about the Mexican League. Robbie Cano a great example of
a typical canoe year. Let's say twenty thirteen with the Yankees,
his last year before he decided to go to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Before he went for the bag and ruined his career.
Forty one home runs.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I'm sorry, no, twenty nine home hold on, here we
go one second, I'm sorry, twenty seven home runs one
hundred and seven, Ribby's bat at three fourteen. The year
before that thirty three home runs ninety four RBI three thirteen.
And then you go from that to like you already referenced.
I was gonna say, you're playing on a minor league
(14:22):
team on SpongeBob SquarePants Night and there's like, you know,
six hundred people in the stands and you're and they're like, yeah,
that used to be Robbie Cano, Like like you looked
to quote, you know, one of my favorite movies that
you've never seen because you're too cool. Angels in the outfield,
your boy Tony Danza, Remember the kid goes you used
to be Mel Clark and he's a a kid I
(14:43):
used to be. I'm still Mel Clark ale. Oh wait,
he plays the aging pitcher and I'm still Mel Clark.
Oh great cast. I mean, how is it not Danny Glover,
Christopher Lloyd, Tony Danza. Cavino's too cool for that, as
he would say, when did that come out the nineties?
I was too busy getting ass. I mean, it's true.
What if Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey's in it, McConaughey plays
(15:04):
center field. Now he gets lifted up and he catches
a ball. So you know what else he hasn't seen
Mighty Ducks. You know what? Because I was too busy
ol chasing ass.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Okay, I get that you were chasing ass back then.
You're not doing that now, So you can watch them now,
I am. You already got the ass to stop.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You could have taken all these girls on a date
to your home to watch these movies, I know, and
then gotten what you want.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
You can watch them now when I watch them now
with your daughter.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, what sport she's scrolling on social media. Mighty Ducks
is so fuch classic. I mean, he's so good. I
made a Gordon Bob Bay reference recently and he's like,
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Didn't break up with him.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
But much like Mel Clark, I used to be you,
I used to be Mel Clark, Robbie Cano. He used
to be Robbie and he also used to be on steroids,
and they used to make bad decisions for leaving the Yankees.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
What if some of his bombs in Mexico came off
with Trevor Bauer That changed her mind?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh that would be good because they ever know they
never fail because bowers better than the.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Bower.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So based on this though, because there's a common thread
going on, could Aaron Rodgers say, ah, I'm gonna continue
as a broadcaster and host of sports Jeopardy all of
a sudden come back in the league if someone get
gets hurt. Can Tom Brady still play? Can Canoe still play?
Because Canoe said that today it's pitchers and catchers, everyone's
(16:23):
talking baseball. Canoe says that he could still play at
a high level. He could play major League baseball. What
are or are there other athletes that come to mind
realistically where you think I bet they could still play.
Dwight Dwight Howard comes to mind because the Lakers needed
a big man right and he's always chirping like yo.
Terrell Owens was always in the conversation, says he kept
(16:45):
his body fit. But now a lot of time has passed.
I'm glad you said the beginuse the Kaepernick stuff. For years,
te O was the guy where I was was the answer.
I remember thinking, like, man, is he that much of
a pain the ass that no one wants to take
a chance on him? Because remember he would show his
own combine videos and he was ripped and he'd sleep
in you know, the the chamber where he reverses aging,
and I thought, TiO is the answer. Oddly enough, I
(17:09):
made fun of him moments ago, but I really think
pun intended. I think Bartolo Colombe could still eat innings.
I maybe not now, but a couple of years ago.
Bartolo Cologne is just a guy. Well he whatever threw
one hundred. I wouldn't downplay it because he had that
that rubbery arm and he's a crafty pitcher.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I you know, he probably still.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Has some heat because he's got a lot of weight
behind it, so I wouldn't I wouldn't say no to that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
How old is he?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I mean now spot age check me on Bartolo Colomne.
I know it's also your favorite fragrance, Bartolo Cologne Cologne
fifty one rich. I mean, obviously he can't do it now,
but I really think if you rewinded a couple of years,
there was video of him like throwing BP and Bartolo
Cologne was never a guy that over powered you. He
(18:00):
just threw eighty eight to ninety and knew where to
place the ball. Who could still compete at a high level,
if not professionally, doesn't matter to the sport. Because even
in the world of fighting. I don't know if you
saw this, Rich but Keith one time Thurman is saying
he's making a grand comeback in twenty twenty five. You
(18:20):
see it in fighting all the time because they get
the itch and fighters never know when they're done. Yeah,
you know there's a guy that played for my team
last year and played for monse You and Denny ge'z Dodgers.
Is there any guests left in the tank for j
D Martinez? He looked lost at the playball. Yeah, I
(18:41):
was gonna say last year. I mean, I know he's
adventuring into pickle ball now, but j D Martinez, there
were rumors like, yo, his veteran presence is so he's
a great clubhouse guy exactly. But there were times last
year where I knew the pitcher was throwing an outside
slider and he would just chase and miss by five
feet like.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Oh I got hot? Take ready?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Has anyone said this based on this conversation, I truly
think Gronk could have been more productive if he played
this season than Travis Kelsey. As lazy as Kelsey looked
in the Super Bowl. Have you seen some of the
tape of this dude. He wasn't even moving on half
of those boys. There are some embarrassed. There is some
isolated place from the super Bowl, Super Bowl. There's some
(19:23):
isolated place from the super Bowl that made Travis Kelsey
look like he was the last guy off the snap
every time, not blocking down Mahomes.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
No, he's nouting. He's never been a big blocker. I've
seen video on him before where he's no George Kittle. Yeah,
I mean his mo is get down the field fifteen
yards and stand around kind of in wait for Mahomes
to scramble and throw to you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
You see him throwing his hands off, Like, yeah, he's
looking lazy. And I'm not hating, I'm just stating.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
I like Kelsey was extra pouty as well as Mahomes
was in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
And if you don't believe me, I didn't notice it
during the game, watch the tape. There's a lot of
clips that are surfacing on social media and you're like, Wow,
that dude didn't even block anybody, and the guy he
was supposed to block ended up tackling either of the
running back or mahomes Damn. I know it's slow mo
on Instagram at TikTok, but there are plays that they're
showing where the ball snapped and he's a He's a
(20:16):
good like second behind everyone else as far as reaction,
and the defenders is getting two steps before. Kelsey's reacting
like Gronky could have been Gronky more productive. I think
I think he could still play a little bit. Sucks
when you don't have the refs on your side. Huh yeah,
who else comes to mind? Fox Sports Radio Nation eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. There's a difference between
(20:37):
he looks like he could still play and then really
believing he could still play. Like we just interviewed Drew Brees.
Dude looked like he could still play. Look, he was
in great shape, he looked young. What did he say
to you?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
He said that he thinks he could if he didn't
have arthritis in his shoulder.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He said the last year that he played his football
IQ and he was giving himself props. He said, I
I could. He said I could still play today mentally,
but and it is physically his whole body. He just
had his shoulder. He's like, yo, anything beyond thirty or
forty yards. I just couldn't do it anymore. Even his
last season, he was just you know, short passes here
(21:12):
and there, couldn't couldn't throw it deep, he said.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
He said he couldn't throw past forty five yards.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
He said, if everything was under forty yards, he could
be elite right now in the NFL, he said, if
he could use his other arm, Yeah, trade his other
arms because it's fresh that he could definitely play. So
who else do you think is sitting around that could
still play? It's a good question at a professional level.
We'll take your feedback next. And by the way, we
(21:36):
learned two months ago, it's not Mike Tyson or is it.
Did he hang in? Did he hang enough to give
you say? No? I mean he's also fifty eight right,

your feedback at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox

the heater as a golf polo or a work polo
or an everyday polo. But get this, guys, Travis Matthews
anonymous with with golf.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Right, it's a golf brander.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Was you thought that, Steve Covino, I play mini golf
at best. I don't golf. They're going into casual gear.
And that's what I was rocking at the Super Bowl,
and it looks good. I got compliments from all the
pro bowlers and football players out there.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
I don't golf really well.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
If you're ready to elevate your game, I'll Steve Cavino visit.
Travis Matthew dos see how Page Brannic winked at me
when I was rocking. You get twenty percent off your
first order. These bell bottom jeans I'm rocking are a
little tight, but they make my buttler good. Right, Monte
(23:48):
Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That's all that looks good.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
My algorithm is just Kendrick Gabar and Pink Pony Girl.
By the way, ioway Sam has been doing dance since Sunday,
and he's not alone. It's the most watched ever halftime
show of all time. Over one hundred and thirty million
people tuned in or hate it. So you get that
there was one hundred and twenty six million that tuned
in for the Super Bowl, highest rated super Bowl ever, right,
(24:15):
high stakes. That's what I attributed to NFL's growing swifties,
big game, big teams, high stakes. One hundred and twenty
six million tuned in, one hundred and thirty plus million
tuned in to watch Kendrick Lamar. That doesn't mean it
was awesome, but it means a lot watched. Yeah, so
you could love it, you could hate it. But what's
undeniable is that I was and thirty three million.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
That's a third of our country.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Right that I think right now is Cavino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio, Sam's on the ones and Tuesdaany's
on the phones, Duaney G eight seven to seven ninety nine,

Speaker 2 (25:15):
You know what, I got the feeling of Kavino.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I heard you got the feeling for the flavor.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I As we get to the phone calls, we're going
to talk about those retired players, NBA, NFL. A lot
to get to today. But as now a coach of
you know, my daughter's softball team and my son's baseball team.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
If you're the manager, make up your mind.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Well when I say manager, you make fun of me.
So what do you want? I want the truth, Rich,
I'm the manager, transparency. Yeah, so it's a bummer. Still,
I got that feeling of like, oh man, it's raining outside.
Practice is canceled, Like today was supposed to be my
son's first t ball practice. It's supposed to rain all
week here in LA.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Did you cancel it? That also makes you the general manager?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I had to be. They said fields are closed today. Yeah,
I'm with the GM and the manager.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm the coach. Wow, I'm just fun and things. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Shout out to my buddy Jeff soup On, former baseball
pitcher is the guy that runs my kids pony ball,
So get him out there. What a league they got
Jeff soup On and the softball king of the Valley,
Rich David.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
I mean, do you think Soupon could still throw in
them majors?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You know, he looks trim and good for no offense,
No for you.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
He's been retired for a while, and but you know what,
that's what.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
We're asking Sam play it's dead.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Who do you think could make that sweet comeback and
still be able to play and compete at a professional level.
There's a lot of stories in the news. We brought
up Tom Brady. That's an obvious one. Aaron Rodgers. If
he were to retire, he'd be on standby for any
team that would need him in an emergency cause. And
there's always a star QB one that goes down in
the beginning of the season. He'd be the guy that
would be able to jump in Robinson Cano as of today,
(26:55):
pitchers and catchers. Robinson Cano in the news saying that
he could still play at a professional he's forty two
years old.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Though, who else comes to mind? I told you in
the world of fighting.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Fighting one time, Keith Thurman wants to get back in
the ring at that one forty pound division and compete
with these young guys and one of my favorite fighters,
not because I like him personally, because he was just exciting.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Anytime someone says, oh, Connor McGregor, I'm like, I don't
want to see it anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Because that's a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Father time. My friends and I would never talk smack.
I would love to see it, but I don't believe
it at all. As far as I think he's washed,
and I would love for him to prove me wrong.
I would never say it to his face. I'm a fan,
but I don't think he could do it. Go buddy.
Remember Joe Bimel was trying to do that, yo. Joe
Bimel former baseball pitcher when weber Dodger Danny. He was
(27:45):
real close to making a professional comeback. He does baseball
clinics for kids in high school and college and young pros.
Joe Bimel in his early forties was throwing more heat
than he did in his big league career, and he
actually got a minor league deal and I was hoping
it worked out. Yeah, because there was new methods of training.
He actually got bigger and stronger. As a result, got
more heat on his fastball, but again father time won.
(28:08):
But he was real close to making it back to
the big leagues after retiring. So who do you think,
just based on the eye test, I guess and how
people take care of themselves, could actually still play. I
do think Gronk could still play. He's in good shape.
He's thinner now, but I think you know, he could
have still played if you wanted. He could bulk up. Yeah.
And by the way, let's bring it back to the
original thought. And then, Danny, I want to hear your
(28:30):
thoughts and we'll go to the phones. The original thought
was yesterday we at length we talked about where on
Earth could Aaron Rodgers land, and it never dawned on
us to think, well, maybe nowhere he doesn't retire, but he,
you know, chills out and then inevitably there will be
a top tier team that loses a quarterback due to
injury and incomes Aaron Rodgers to save the day, and
(28:53):
Cavino saying will he be ready? And I think the
answer is yes.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Not too long ago, I remember seeing Marshaw Lynch being
interviewed and he said he felt like he could still
run over some players.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
That's so weird that you said that, because that's who
I had in my mind.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
I was like, am I crazy to think Marshall Lynch
can still.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Go out there?
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Felt those last couple of seasons with the Raiders. He
obviously wasn't as fast, but he still could bold defenders.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Over right, That's what I'm thinking, Like, I'm not expecting
him to be quick, but I think he could be effective.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
By the way, you know he's in a movie. I
saw him in a trailer or something for a movie.
Either that or I dreamt it guy. He's also got
a podcast with Gavin Newsom. Does anyone listen to me?
I may have had the weirdest dream, but I'm pretty
sure in a movie. I think we're all dreaming, right,
I don't know what we're talking about. Marshall Lynch, I
think has been in several movies. What's more likely to
(29:44):
him playing in the NFL? Get or for anyone to
listen to a podcast Love Hurts That looks pretty good.
Oh yeah, there's a Billboards offer right now that came
out last Friday, so I was ready, So he might
be able to still play. But he's got a whole
other career sort of taken off as an actor. Ain't
that wild? Marshall Lynch. So we'll wrap it up with
(30:05):
your phone calls? Who do you think still has the juice? Roger?
Speaker 10 (30:08):
Hey, Roger Vermont, you're on, Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
What's somebody?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I said, Roger, and you said, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Howbout that?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Yeah, well yeah, it's yeah, Roger works. So this is
not really current, but I think into his late forties
personal Walker could have still helped the team time.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, he was ripped it in shape.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Yeah, he was training while he fought in the UFC, right, right,
he did. Yeah, he was the answer to this question
a decade or say, fifteen years ago.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
He's like sixty sixty one.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And he kept himself in great shape.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's the thing not all athletes do, because they live
and eat the way they used to and they don't
make those adjustments post their career and either get way
out of shape or they just stopped lifting like Gronk did.
Go you know, what about what about a wide receiver?
We said, t o, But I mean after he retired,
(31:07):
Ocho Cinco still seemed like he was taking care of
himself doing you know, media stuff. Do you think Ocho
Cinco a couple years later, if he wanted to, could
have pushed or I think, like the end of his career,
he was fading even when he was on a team.
I always got that that vibe. Let's go to Joel
in since he what's up Joel?
Speaker 9 (31:27):
He'll heybody, So one guy think that nobody's talking about
recent and I think he was still ball out and
probably be top five in his position at pro level.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Andrew Luck, Oh yeah, if he wanted to take the chance. Yeah,
he retired in his body, didn't go through a full,
you know, full full career of NFL play, so maybe
he could come back.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
It made me think of does he even belly now?
Though I'm Andrew Luck. Yeah, but he had such skill,
He's such a skillful player. What happened to Victor Cruz?
Why did he retire? Too much salsa dance? Too much
salsa dancing? I think he turned a salsa dance instructor,
isn't it? Isn't that true?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
You know, like Gurley got hurt.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm like one of one of these guys that were
sitting around like a Todd Gurley was sitting around, but
then he realized, you know what, man, I still could play.
I rested off the injury or something. Some of these
guys are so young man. Some of them retired are
like McAfee retired early to do a podcast. Oh he
could make their Victor Cruz retired early to do salsa dancing.
I mean better than the Cruise is only thirty eight
(32:32):
now and he's been out in the league.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
How many years? What's up?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Nick and Cincy?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
I was saying Jamie Moyer.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
I think it's still.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Was one hundred and forty seven when he retired.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Jamie Moyer could collect uh Social Security and still don't
just stuck around. I put them together in my brain.
Darren Oliver, remember how long that guy played? Darren Oliver,
That dude, I like he was playing forever. I feel
like Darren Oliver if we were, if we would have
played on the road again.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think Darren Oliver played for every Major League Baseball
But Jamie Moyer, he looked like he was at least
fifty five when he was still playing. Well, you look up,
Darren Oliver. Let's go to MANSI for an update by yos.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Yeah, yeah, guys, that's right, thank you, right right on.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Cue there.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Chief Stein and Travis Kelcey on his podcast, said that
he knows everyone wants to know what he's going to
do about his future, but that he's going to take
some time, not going to rush his decision on whether
he's going to return for a thirteenth NFL season. Colorado
quarterback Shadors Sanders revealed that his first two Top thirty
visits with NFL teams will be with the Browns and
the Giants, who hold the second and third overall picks
in the upcoming draft. Baseball just around the corner show
(33:37):
hal Tani will not go on a rehab assignment or
pitching the Cactus League this spring before returning to pitching,
keeping him available to DH Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Likely we'll start
the Dodgers season opener in Tokyo and Roki Sasaki can make.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
His debut the very next day in Game two.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
And in the NBA Bucks Star Damian Lillard will be
out for tonight's game against the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Allow a full recovery.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Damian Lillard the team Bucks Star, not the other team Minnesota, Minnesota.
What I'm gonna keep saying all the words around the
timber what timber wolves?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Wolves are timber wolves?
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I really don't hear it, Like every everyone tells.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Me, where's wolves?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Did you get confused or did you know who I
was talking about?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, great, thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's being incredibly rude all the time. Yeah, the club.

Speaker 1 (34:46):

Speaker 2 (34:47):
We'll take the rest of your feedback at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Who do you think still
has the juice? Who do you think could still play
at a professional level, because that's what Robinson Cano said today.
And by the way, you're down and Oliver, Yeah, he'd
answered twenty years, twenty years in the bigs, and believe
it or not, he had long stretches on teams and
still played for nine different teams. I really thought the
(35:08):
answer was gonna be like fifteen because I feel like
Darren Oliver was such your go to middle reliever, left
handy out of the pen for every team at one point. Well, hey,
we got more Cavino and Rich, Danny g Iowa, Sam

Speaker 8 (37:50):
Know baseball or don't forget, it's gonna be NBA All

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Look at that. So an action pack weekend. And again
I'll never get commuted to watch shows that I recommend.
But Danny J Paradise really good, really good, really really good.
All right, Hey coming up, Spot's got midweek major. But
there's a there's a guy in the Yankees that it's possible.
Could we know he could change everything?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Change could start with one person, right, it always does.
It always does one person to stand up, and there's
power in that. It could be a significant social change
that affects the world forever, like I don't know, Rosa
parks on a bus, or it could be something as
stupid as like someone at work decides, hey, how can
we don't do our emails this way? And it's like,
you know, maybe the only person? Yeah, the change, every change,
(38:36):
whether it's big or small, starts at one person. And
I think that one person could be as a Yankees fan,
I really do think that one person could be Devin Williams,
because well, I'll explain, pitchers and catchers have reported, so
we get all excited about baseball, at least I do.
I know everyone here does. Dodgers fans do post football blues.
(38:59):
If you're not into the and you're like, all right, baseball,
let's go. Is that it's sot of funny when you
do see some of your favorite big leaguers come back
a little out of shape. Oh yeah, and they get
back at the shape real quick. But you realize that
from September October through the holidays, there's some guys that
put on five to ten pounds of you know, a
little dad bought action, and then you know by opening
day they're good.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
But I haven't see some of the Mets. I'm like, oh,
what's going on this guy?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
People?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You know, Wan Soto looks like he's six months pregnant.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I saw the pictures more.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Like one bloto, one bloto, good one bro.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I like that one one blowough you would like that,
you would like that good thing. He's gonna be a player.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
He is.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
He's definitely pregnant, but you're seeing players in a different
uniform orlander in.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
His giant skier right.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Like, oh wow, I'm just shocked. That's the first time
I heard someone say wombloatout. That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (39:51):
I'm mad. I didn't think of it. A factory over here.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
But Devin Williams is known for being one of the
best closers in baseball. He's now a Yankee. Now, if
you could picture Devin Williams, he had a bit of
that intimidation factor because he had a sweet beard. He
had a nicely groomed beard that fit his face. I mean,
completely intimidating, other than when Pete A. Lonzo hit a
three run home run off of him to send the
(40:14):
Brewers home and have Bob Bucher's last call before he
passed away be terrible. Besides that, I mean, it wasn't
like a hobo beard. It wasn't disheveled. It was very maintained.
He looked handsome and looked good. I'll be honest, handsome dude,
handsome Latino guy with a beard. And he said that
he hadn't seen himself without the beard in years because
(40:36):
he was being questioned.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Hey, when's the last time he shaved. He's like, I
couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
And he said he'd hold onto the beard for as
long as he could until the Yankees made him shave it.
Dave reported, he shaved his beard and it's not good.
And I saw him and I was like, dude, I
couldn't believe what I saw. I'm like, where's the rest
of his face? Monci? I just texted you the picture.
Have you seen the before and after? It looks like
he's missing I'm saying he's a bad looking guy, but
(41:01):
the beard balanced out his face so much it elongated
his face a good three inches. I feel like he's
missing three inches four inches of chin.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Yeah right, it's baby, it's like a different person.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
He looks like he looks like he looks like a
badass dude that you would not want to face. Like cheeks.
He went from intimidating closer to.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
He looks like he looks like boss baby.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Now yeah, so and and here's the kicker.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
He's saying that, you know, the beard gave him confidence.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
And I know that sounds lame, but that's why I
think this could cause a change. And we'll explain next

Cavino and Rich. Now, I want to let you know
on today's show, we're gonna get to one of your Yankees. Cavino,
how is Devin Williams gonna change baseball forever? Well, today's
(04:14):
a special day, not only two days away from Valentimee's Papa,
but it's pitchers and catchers reporting. Man, I thought that
was Friday. Yeah, catchers, pictures, and catchers are reporting. So
we're getting closer and closer to baseball now, which always
helps the post Super Bowl blues.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
About NBA Laker updates. We're going to talk about Robbie Cano,
but I got to give us a quick update on
a really fun conversation we had yesterday. We were talking
about Aaron Rodgers and we spent a good amount of
time having a really funny yet informative conversation. Well, we
(04:54):
went over every team. Really where could he possibly end
up if he doesn't retire. It really was a a
team by team breakdown of Oh, he can't go there next,
can't go there next? All right, that's a possibility. Dan
Bayer was weighing in, Danny g We all had our
thoughts and we said, twenty seven Giants.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
There was a few possibilities.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Raiders, there was like five or six teams. We narrowed
it down that twenty six teams. It's just impossibly. I
was talking to my dad on the way in, Oh,
I haven't talked to you. Super Bowl week sounded great.
Caught up with my dad. Oh, hi, Rich is your father.
And by the way, every voicemail he leaves me starts
with high Rich, it's your father.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Hi Rich is your father.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I know, I know what you dad, And he said
that was a great conversation, and we talked about it
even more. And by talking it out even more with Dad,
it's like, you know what, I see it going totally different.
I go, what do you mean? He goes, Oh, Aaron
Rodgers is such a peculiar yet intriguing dude that in
(05:57):
the world that all you guys living today can't just
guy team up with someone and just do a podcast
and make a ton of money. And then the season
starts and inevitably, unfortunately, there will be a top tier
quarterback that goes down.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Happens all the time, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, and Danny g you ever thought yesterday, We never
even thought about the idea of that team doesn't exist
yet because it could be a top tier team that
loses QB one and all of a sudden, Aaron Rodgers
is the answer to come in and save the team.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah, we didn't go over that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That was like the one blind spot we had in
that conversation, Like there could be any top tier team,
the forty nine ers, you know, the Eagles, the Bucks.
There could be any team that's a good NFC team
or AFC team where QB one goes down and the
quick fixes. Man, we have so much talent, we can't
just throw the season away. Aaron Rodgers, And I think
(06:57):
that's the answer, because I don't think there's a very
clear one. So since there's no clear fit, we're trying
to put a square peg in a round hole. Why
not just say he doesn't play and then the minute
unfortunately someone will get hurt. That's where Aaron Rodgers steps in.
It would be a great possibility and a great solution.
But would he be mentally and physically ready and prepared
(07:21):
to jump right back into the NFL. I'm stay in shape.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, I mean you would have to hope and assume he's.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Got a big ego so to sit around and be like, oh,
I'm oh wait, I don't know if he's that kind
of guy rich.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But he would also love to be the guy that
comes in and saves the day.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
That part is true to what goes.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Down unfortunately, knock on wood, Mike McDaniel, Yo, Aaron Rodgers,
he goes down to South Beach, saves the day. There
is a he hero, Joe Burrow, you know, high ankle
sprain out for eight weeks. There go my hero.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Aaron Rodgers comes running in justin Herbert Man rotator cuff.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
He can be a hero, babe. We're off to find
the hero, the Dame Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It could be anywhere.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
And yet we can't get this guy to do karaoke
at listener events.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
No, no, only when I want yeah, yeah, when he
comes out organically. Yeah, when you put pressure on me,
I don't want to sing. We need to be metalla.
Oh yeah, let's do it, me and you sam Ooh yeah,
well you mean next year's halftime performers. Let's hope because
it's in San Francisco, all right? You know what, rich,
(08:36):
I think that is a strong possibility. But only if he's.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like mentally prepared in that way.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm not saying that he falls off, but what if
he really makes a solid mental decision that he's done.
Sometimes when people make that decision, it's hard to come
back from it. Then again, there's so many pro athletes,
well the fighting and football.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Where they get that itch. You know, they say they're done.
But they want to play again.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I know he is, you know, one of one, the
guy you know went to ten Super Bowls, one seven
of them. There's a part of me that thinks Tom
Brady could step on the field tomorrow. But then again,
he's conditioned TB twelve, that's his You know, he looks
better now than he did coming out of the combine
twenty five years ago. But you're gonna look at Tom
Brady and say, you know, if he wanted to at
(09:21):
what forty six next year? You don't think Tom Brady,
if he wanted to, could be the quarterback of your Raiders.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
Danny j oh Just this past postseason, there's the video
of him throwing the nice tight spirals to Gronk pregame
and the internet blew up, like, see, this guy could
join a team right now. He could suit up for
the Raiders if maybe he signs his ownership shares to
his son.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Did you happen to see that clip of Colin? When
Tom Brady was on the Herd, tom Brady talked about
how when you hit a certain age, your football knowledge,
like Tom Brady's football a Q is unmatched. He said
that Super Bowl, he went into it against the Chiefs.
He knew what every defenders like little ticks and movements were.
(10:08):
He knew by looking at a linebacker are they going
to come at me? Or are they going to drop back?
Because he studied so much film, like when their arms move,
like I could tell that you know they're not going
to rush me. Tom Brady so studied and so disciplined
that I think, just based on his football IQ and
the fact that he stays in shape, could still be
a quarterback. So if you don't think Aaron Rodgers could
(10:30):
take a six month little break, come back mid season
if a team needs him, no doubt. Yeah, Tom Brady
was still playing well in his last season. Aaron Rodgers
hasn't played well in two years now. Yeah, but he
turned it on towards the very end. He sucked Aaron.
Aaron Rodgers also did come back in like record time.
He didn't come back as they didn't need him, but
he was on pace to come back in record time
(10:53):
from an achilles injury. So it's not like he's a
old man winter. It's not like he's Bartolo Cologne trying
to get back on the mountain. Okay, but his focus
is in a cave somewhere on a darkness retreat playing
the bongos. Tom Brady's focus was on football. There's a
big difference there. Where's your mind at, where's your head at?
As the basement Jack said. And by the way, since
you brought it up, if you think Tom Brady could
(11:15):
get back out there, and if you think in this
hypothetical Aaron Rodgers would just step out of the podcasting
booth to jump right back into football, this brings up
the Robinson Canoe story today. Yeah, Robin Cano thinks he
could very well just hop right back on an MLB team.
And I'll tell you this, every sport's different, right, I
don't know if I buy into that, man, Every sport
(11:36):
is different. Of course, that's a very blanket statement. Let
me explain. The downward curve at the end of someone's
career is steeper in all sports. Like you fall off
that cliff at different heights in different sports like the NBA,
you go from averaging twenty six to twenty two to eighteen.
You know, production goes down. You're a little slower football,
(12:00):
you know, wide receiver gets a little slower nine hundred
yards instead of twelve hundred. I feel like in baseball.
Some of these sluggers, it's just over. I don't know
what happens. You go from hitting thirty forty bombs, hitting
two sixty two seventy, and then all of a sudden,
it's like eighteen home runs, betting two to oh one.
It in baseball, it happens quick. And Robbie Cano, you
(12:21):
saw him go from a guy that was batting three
hundred something with a lot of home runs but knocketting
it a ton of ribbies. He still ended his major
league career seventeen year major league career batting three to
oho one, so he's still over three hundred. Great hitter.
He was so slick and so good in his prime
at second base that he got a lot of criticism
for being.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Lazy because he looked slazy.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
He looked like he was playing lazy because he played
so smooth and so effortless. Give me a year like
a prime year for Robbie Cano as a Yankee or
a Mariner. Give me like just a home run RBI
average stat line like in like a Robbie Cano All
Star year. I'm gonna have to look it up because
I was looking up his Mexico stats. You are in
Mexico Reference dot com. I was on Mexico Reference dot com.
(13:06):
That's where he played last. And that's why people think
that he still got some juice. If you don't know,
he played in the Mexican League and before that, he
think he played on the SpongeBob SquarePants team.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And I'm not even making.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That UPO wait to go Canoe. The point I was
gonna make was, but he lit it up in the
Mexican League, batting like four sixty something or four thirty something,
and he was hitting bombs and he was on his
major streak. So people were like, he still got some juice.
But Robbie Cano, Yeah, his best years were with the Yankees,
(13:40):
for sure. I got it right. Here took you too long?
Here we got it, wasn't long. I was telling you
about the Mexican League. Robbie Cano a great example of
a typical canoe year. Let's say twenty thirteen with the Yankees,
his last year before he decided to go to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Before he went for the bag and ruined his career.
Forty one home runs.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I'm sorry, no, twenty nine home hold on, here we
go one second, I'm sorry, twenty seven home runs one
hundred and seven, Ribby's bat at three fourteen. The year
before that thirty three home runs ninety four RBI three thirteen.
And then you go from that to like you already referenced.
I was gonna say, you're playing on a minor league
(14:22):
team on SpongeBob SquarePants Night and there's like, you know,
six hundred people in the stands and you're and they're like, yeah,
that used to be Robbie Cano, Like like you looked
to quote, you know, one of my favorite movies that
you've never seen because you're too cool. Angels in the outfield,
your boy Tony Danza, Remember the kid goes you used
to be Mel Clark and he's a a kid I
(14:43):
used to be. I'm still Mel Clark ale. Oh wait,
he plays the aging pitcher and I'm still Mel Clark.
Oh great cast. I mean, how is it not Danny Glover,
Christopher Lloyd, Tony Danza. Cavino's too cool for that, as
he would say, when did that come out the nineties?
I was too busy getting ass. I mean, it's true.
What if Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey's in it, McConaughey plays
(15:04):
center field. Now he gets lifted up and he catches
a ball. So you know what else he hasn't seen
Mighty Ducks. You know what? Because I was too busy
ol chasing ass.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Okay, I get that you were chasing ass back then.
You're not doing that now, So you can watch them now,
I am. You already got the ass to stop.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You could have taken all these girls on a date
to your home to watch these movies, I know, and
then gotten what you want.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
You can watch them now when I watch them now
with your daughter.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, what sport she's scrolling on social media. Mighty Ducks
is so fuch classic. I mean, he's so good. I
made a Gordon Bob Bay reference recently and he's like,
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Didn't break up with him.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
But much like Mel Clark, I used to be you,
I used to be Mel Clark, Robbie Cano. He used
to be Robbie and he also used to be on steroids,
and they used to make bad decisions for leaving the Yankees.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
What if some of his bombs in Mexico came off
with Trevor Bauer That changed her mind?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh that would be good because they ever know they
never fail because bowers better than the.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Bower.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So based on this though, because there's a common thread
going on, could Aaron Rodgers say, ah, I'm gonna continue
as a broadcaster and host of sports Jeopardy all of
a sudden come back in the league if someone get
gets hurt. Can Tom Brady still play? Can Canoe still play?
Because Canoe said that today it's pitchers and catchers, everyone's
(16:23):
talking baseball. Canoe says that he could still play at
a high level. He could play major League baseball. What
are or are there other athletes that come to mind
realistically where you think I bet they could still play.
Dwight Dwight Howard comes to mind because the Lakers needed
a big man right and he's always chirping like yo.
Terrell Owens was always in the conversation, says he kept
(16:45):
his body fit. But now a lot of time has passed.
I'm glad you said the beginuse the Kaepernick stuff. For years,
te O was the guy where I was was the answer.
I remember thinking, like, man, is he that much of
a pain the ass that no one wants to take
a chance on him? Because remember he would show his
own combine videos and he was ripped and he'd sleep
in you know, the the chamber where he reverses aging,
and I thought, TiO is the answer. Oddly enough, I
(17:09):
made fun of him moments ago, but I really think
pun intended. I think Bartolo Colombe could still eat innings.
I maybe not now, but a couple of years ago.
Bartolo Cologne is just a guy. Well he whatever threw
one hundred. I wouldn't downplay it because he had that
that rubbery arm and he's a crafty pitcher.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I you know, he probably still.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Has some heat because he's got a lot of weight
behind it, so I wouldn't I wouldn't say no to that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
How old is he?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I mean now spot age check me on Bartolo Colomne.
I know it's also your favorite fragrance, Bartolo Cologne Cologne
fifty one rich. I mean, obviously he can't do it now,
but I really think if you rewinded a couple of years,
there was video of him like throwing BP and Bartolo
Cologne was never a guy that over powered you. He
(18:00):
just threw eighty eight to ninety and knew where to
place the ball. Who could still compete at a high level,
if not professionally, doesn't matter to the sport. Because even
in the world of fighting. I don't know if you
saw this, Rich but Keith one time Thurman is saying
he's making a grand comeback in twenty twenty five. You
(18:20):
see it in fighting all the time because they get
the itch and fighters never know when they're done. Yeah,
you know there's a guy that played for my team
last year and played for monse You and Denny ge'z Dodgers.
Is there any guests left in the tank for j
D Martinez? He looked lost at the playball. Yeah, I
(18:41):
was gonna say last year. I mean, I know he's
adventuring into pickle ball now, but j D Martinez, there
were rumors like, yo, his veteran presence is so he's
a great clubhouse guy exactly. But there were times last
year where I knew the pitcher was throwing an outside
slider and he would just chase and miss by five
feet like.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Oh I got hot? Take ready?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Has anyone said this based on this conversation, I truly
think Gronk could have been more productive if he played
this season than Travis Kelsey. As lazy as Kelsey looked
in the Super Bowl. Have you seen some of the
tape of this dude. He wasn't even moving on half
of those boys. There are some embarrassed. There is some
isolated place from the super Bowl, Super Bowl. There's some
(19:23):
isolated place from the super Bowl that made Travis Kelsey
look like he was the last guy off the snap
every time, not blocking down Mahomes.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
No, he's nouting. He's never been a big blocker. I've
seen video on him before where he's no George Kittle. Yeah,
I mean his mo is get down the field fifteen
yards and stand around kind of in wait for Mahomes
to scramble and throw to you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
You see him throwing his hands off, Like, yeah, he's
looking lazy. And I'm not hating, I'm just stating.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
I like Kelsey was extra pouty as well as Mahomes
was in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
And if you don't believe me, I didn't notice it
during the game, watch the tape. There's a lot of
clips that are surfacing on social media and you're like, Wow,
that dude didn't even block anybody, and the guy he
was supposed to block ended up tackling either of the
running back or mahomes Damn. I know it's slow mo
on Instagram at TikTok, but there are plays that they're
showing where the ball snapped and he's a He's a
(20:16):
good like second behind everyone else as far as reaction,
and the defenders is getting two steps before. Kelsey's reacting
like Gronky could have been Gronky more productive. I think
I think he could still play a little bit. Sucks
when you don't have the refs on your side. Huh yeah,
who else comes to mind? Fox Sports Radio Nation eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. There's a difference between
(20:37):
he looks like he could still play and then really
believing he could still play. Like we just interviewed Drew Brees.
Dude looked like he could still play. Look, he was
in great shape, he looked young. What did he say
to you?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
He said that he thinks he could if he didn't
have arthritis in his shoulder.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He said the last year that he played his football
IQ and he was giving himself props. He said, I
I could. He said I could still play today mentally,
but and it is physically his whole body. He just
had his shoulder. He's like, yo, anything beyond thirty or
forty yards. I just couldn't do it anymore. Even his
last season, he was just you know, short passes here
(21:12):
and there, couldn't couldn't throw it deep, he said.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
He said he couldn't throw past forty five yards.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
He said, if everything was under forty yards, he could
be elite right now in the NFL, he said, if
he could use his other arm, Yeah, trade his other
arms because it's fresh that he could definitely play. So
who else do you think is sitting around that could
still play? It's a good question at a professional level.
We'll take your feedback next. And by the way, we
(21:36):
learned two months ago, it's not Mike Tyson or is it.
Did he hang in? Did he hang enough to give
you say? No? I mean he's also fifty eight right,
all right, your thoughts at coviing on Richem. Will take
your feedback at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox
More next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, whether

pro bowlers and football players out there.

Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That's all that looks good.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
My algorithm is just Kendrick Gabar and Pink Pony Girl.
By the way, ioway Sam has been doing dance since Sunday,
and he's not alone. It's the most watched ever halftime
show of all time. Over one hundred and thirty million
people tuned in or hate it. So you get that
there was one hundred and twenty six million that tuned
in for the Super Bowl, highest rated super Bowl ever, right,
(24:15):
high stakes. That's what I attributed to NFL's growing swifties,
big game, big teams, high stakes. One hundred and twenty
six million tuned in, one hundred and thirty plus million
tuned in to watch Kendrick Lamar. That doesn't mean it
was awesome, but it means a lot watched. Yeah, so
you could love it, you could hate it. But what's
undeniable is that I was and thirty three million.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
That's a third of our country.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, that's insane.

Well when I say manager, you make fun of me.
So what do you want? I want the truth, Rich,
I'm the manager, transparency. Yeah, so it's a bummer. Still,

Practice is canceled, Like today was supposed to be my
son's first t ball practice. It's supposed to rain all
week here in LA.

them majors?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You know, he looks trim and good for no offense,
No for you.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
He's been retired for a while, and but you know what,
that's what.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
We're asking Sam play it's dead.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Who do you think could make that sweet comeback and
still be able to play and compete at a professional level.
There's a lot of stories in the news. We brought
up Tom Brady. That's an obvious one. Aaron Rodgers. If
he were to retire, he'd be on standby for any
team that would need him in an emergency cause. And
there's always a star QB one that goes down in
the beginning of the season. He'd be the guy that
would be able to jump in Robinson Cano as of today,
(26:55):
pitchers and catchers. Robinson Cano in the news saying that
he could still play at a professional he's forty two
years old.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Though, who else comes to mind? I told you in
the world of fighting.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
Fighting one time, Keith Thurman wants to get back in
the ring at that one forty pound division and compete
with these young guys and one of my favorite fighters,
not because I like him personally, because he was just exciting.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Anytime someone says, oh, Connor McGregor, I'm like, I don't
want to see it anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Because that's a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Father time. My friends and I would never talk smack.
I would love to see it, but I don't believe
it at all. As far as I think he's washed,
and I would love for him to prove me wrong.
I would never say it to his face. I'm a fan,
but I don't think he could do it. Go buddy.
Remember Joe Bimel was trying to do that, yo. Joe
Bimel former baseball pitcher when weber Dodger Danny. He was
(27:45):
real close to making a professional comeback. He does baseball
clinics for kids in high school and college and young pros.
Joe Bimel in his early forties was throwing more heat
than he did in his big league career, and he
actually got a minor league deal and I was hoping
it worked out. Yeah, because there was new methods of training.
He actually got bigger and stronger. As a result, got
more heat on his fastball, but again father time won.
(28:08):
But he was real close to making it back to
the big leagues after retiring. So who do you think,
just based on the eye test, I guess and how
people take care of themselves, could actually still play. I
do think Gronk could still play. He's in good shape.
He's thinner now, but I think you know, he could
have still played if you wanted. He could bulk up. Yeah.
And by the way, let's bring it back to the
original thought. And then, Danny, I want to hear your
(28:30):
thoughts and we'll go to the phones. The original thought
was yesterday we at length we talked about where on
Earth could Aaron Rodgers land, and it never dawned on
us to think, well, maybe nowhere he doesn't retire, but he,
you know, chills out and then inevitably there will be
a top tier team that loses a quarterback due to
injury and incomes Aaron Rodgers to save the day, and
(28:53):
Cavino saying will he be ready? And I think the
answer is yes.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Not too long ago, I remember seeing Marshaw Lynch being
interviewed and he said he felt like he could still
run over some players.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
That's so weird that you said that, because that's who
I had in my mind.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
I was like, am I crazy to think Marshall Lynch
can still.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Go out there?
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Felt those last couple of seasons with the Raiders. He
obviously wasn't as fast, but he still could bold defenders.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Over right, That's what I'm thinking, Like, I'm not expecting
him to be quick, but I think he could be effective.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
By the way, you know he's in a movie. I
saw him in a trailer or something for a movie.
Either that or I dreamt it guy. He's also got
a podcast with Gavin Newsom. Does anyone listen to me?
I may have had the weirdest dream, but I'm pretty
sure in a movie. I think we're all dreaming, right,
I don't know what we're talking about. Marshall Lynch, I
think has been in several movies. What's more likely to
(29:44):
him playing in the NFL? Get or for anyone to
listen to a podcast Love Hurts That looks pretty good.
Oh yeah, there's a Billboards offer right now that came
out last Friday, so I was ready, So he might
be able to still play. But he's got a whole
other career sort of taken off as an actor. Ain't
that wild? Marshall Lynch. So we'll wrap it up with
(30:05):
your phone calls? Who do you think still has the juice? Roger?
Speaker 10 (30:08):
Hey, Roger Vermont, you're on, Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
What's somebody?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I said, Roger, and you said, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Howbout that?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Yeah, well yeah, it's yeah, Roger works. So this is
not really current, but I think into his late forties
personal Walker could have still helped the team time.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, he was ripped it in shape.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Yeah, he was training while he fought in the UFC, right, right,
he did. Yeah, he was the answer to this question
a decade or say, fifteen years ago.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
He's like sixty sixty one.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And he kept himself in great shape.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's the thing not all athletes do, because they live
and eat the way they used to and they don't
make those adjustments post their career and either get way
out of shape or they just stopped lifting like Gronk did.
Go you know, what about what about a wide receiver?
We said, t o, But I mean after he retired,
(31:07):
Ocho Cinco still seemed like he was taking care of
himself doing you know, media stuff. Do you think Ocho
Cinco a couple years later, if he wanted to, could
have pushed or I think, like the end of his career,
he was fading even when he was on a team.
I always got that that vibe. Let's go to Joel
in since he what's up Joel?
Speaker 9 (31:27):
He'll heybody, So one guy think that nobody's talking about
recent and I think he was still ball out and
probably be top five in his position at pro level.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Andrew Luck, Oh yeah, if he wanted to take the chance. Yeah,
he retired in his body, didn't go through a full,
you know, full full career of NFL play, so maybe
he could come back.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
It made me think of does he even belly now?
Though I'm Andrew Luck. Yeah, but he had such skill,
He's such a skillful player. What happened to Victor Cruz?
Why did he retire? Too much salsa dance? Too much
salsa dancing? I think he turned a salsa dance instructor,
isn't it? Isn't that true?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
You know, like Gurley got hurt.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm like one of one of these guys that were
sitting around like a Todd Gurley was sitting around, but
then he realized, you know what, man, I still could play.
I rested off the injury or something. Some of these
guys are so young man. Some of them retired are
like McAfee retired early to do a podcast. Oh he
could make their Victor Cruz retired early to do salsa dancing.
I mean better than the Cruise is only thirty eight
(32:32):
now and he's been out in the league.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
How many years? What's up?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Nick and Cincy?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
I was saying Jamie Moyer.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
I think it's still.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Was one hundred and forty seven when he retired.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Jamie Moyer could collect uh Social Security and still don't
just stuck around. I put them together in my brain.
Darren Oliver, remember how long that guy played? Darren Oliver,
That dude, I like he was playing forever. I feel
like Darren Oliver if we were, if we would have
played on the road again.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I think Darren Oliver played for every Major League Baseball
But Jamie Moyer, he looked like he was at least
fifty five when he was still playing. Well, you look up,
Darren Oliver. Let's go to MANSI for an update by yos.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Yeah, yeah, guys, that's right, thank you, right right on.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Cue there.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Chief Stein and Travis Kelcey on his podcast, said that
he knows everyone wants to know what he's going to
do about his future, but that he's going to take
some time, not going to rush his decision on whether
he's going to return for a thirteenth NFL season. Colorado
quarterback Shadors Sanders revealed that his first two Top thirty
visits with NFL teams will be with the Browns and
the Giants, who hold the second and third overall picks
in the upcoming draft. Baseball just around the corner show
(33:37):
hal Tani will not go on a rehab assignment or
pitching the Cactus League this spring before returning to pitching,
keeping him available to DH Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Likely we'll start
the Dodgers season opener in Tokyo and Roki Sasaki can make.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
His debut the very next day in Game two.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
And in the NBA Bucks Star Damian Lillard will be
out for tonight's game against the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Allow a full recovery.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Damian Lillard the team Bucks Star, not the other team Minnesota, Minnesota.
What I'm gonna keep saying all the words around the
timber what timber wolves?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Wolves are timber wolves?
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I really don't hear it, Like every everyone tells.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Me, where's wolves?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Did you get confused or did you know who I
was talking about?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, great, thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's being incredibly rude all the time. Yeah, the club.

Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Who do you think still
has the juice? Who do you think could still play
at a professional level, because that's what Robinson Cano said today.
And by the way, you're down and Oliver, Yeah, he'd
answered twenty years, twenty years in the bigs, and believe
it or not, he had long stretches on teams and
still played for nine different teams. I really thought the
(35:08):
answer was gonna be like fifteen because I feel like
Darren Oliver was such your go to middle reliever, left
handy out of the pen for every team at one point. Well, hey,
we got more Cavino and Rich, Danny g Iowa, Sam

I'll never get commuted to watch shows that I recommend.
But Danny J Paradise really good, really good, really really good.
All right, Hey coming up, Spot's got midweek major. But
there's a there's a guy in the Yankees that it's possible.
Could we know he could change everything?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Change could start with one person, right, it always does.
It always does one person to stand up, and there's
power in that. It could be a significant social change
that affects the world forever, like I don't know, Rosa
parks on a bus, or it could be something as
stupid as like someone at work decides, hey, how can
we don't do our emails this way? And it's like,
you know, maybe the only person? Yeah, the change, every change,
(38:36):
whether it's big or small, starts at one person. And
I think that one person could be as a Yankees fan,
I really do think that one person could be Devin Williams,
because well, I'll explain, pitchers and catchers have reported, so
we get all excited about baseball, at least I do.
I know everyone here does. Dodgers fans do post football blues.
(38:59):
If you're not into the and you're like, all right, baseball,
let's go. Is that it's sot of funny when you
do see some of your favorite big leaguers come back
a little out of shape. Oh yeah, and they get
back at the shape real quick. But you realize that
from September October through the holidays, there's some guys that
put on five to ten pounds of you know, a
little dad bought action, and then you know by opening
day they're good.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
But I haven't see some of the Mets. I'm like, oh,
what's going on this guy?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
People?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You know, Wan Soto looks like he's six months pregnant.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I saw the pictures more.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Like one bloto, one bloto, good one bro.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I like that one one blowough you would like that,
you would like that good thing. He's gonna be a player.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
He is.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
He's definitely pregnant, but you're seeing players in a different
uniform orlander in.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
His giant skier right.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Like, oh wow, I'm just shocked. That's the first time
I heard someone say wombloatout. That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (39:51):
I'm mad. I didn't think of it. A factory over here.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
But Devin Williams is known for being one of the
best closers in baseball. He's now a Yankee. Now, if
you could picture Devin Williams, he had a bit of
that intimidation factor because he had a sweet beard. He
had a nicely groomed beard that fit his face. I mean,
completely intimidating, other than when Pete A. Lonzo hit a
three run home run off of him to send the
(40:14):
Brewers home and have Bob Bucher's last call before he
passed away be terrible. Besides that, I mean, it wasn't
like a hobo beard. It wasn't disheveled. It was very maintained.
He looked handsome and looked good. I'll be honest, handsome dude,
handsome Latino guy with a beard. And he said that
he hadn't seen himself without the beard in years because
(40:36):
he was being questioned.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Hey, when's the last time he shaved. He's like, I
couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
And he said he'd hold onto the beard for as
long as he could until the Yankees made him shave it.
Dave reported, he shaved his beard and it's not good.
And I saw him and I was like, dude, I
couldn't believe what I saw. I'm like, where's the rest
of his face? Monci? I just texted you the picture.
Have you seen the before and after? It looks like
he's missing I'm saying he's a bad looking guy, but
(41:01):
the beard balanced out his face so much it elongated
his face a good three inches. I feel like he's
missing three inches four inches of chin.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Yeah right, it's baby, it's like a different person.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
He looks like he looks like he looks like a
badass dude that you would not want to face. Like cheeks.
He went from intimidating closer to.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
He looks like he looks like boss baby.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Now yeah, so and and here's the kicker.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
He's saying that, you know, the beard gave him confidence.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
And I know that sounds lame, but that's why I
think this could cause a change. And we'll explain next
