Speaker 3 (01:34):
Pat.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And by the way, I got to ask tooy, Colin,
have any interest in TV Chemeos. I'm watching it, you
know when you're watching Happy Gilmore too, And there's a
Dan Patrick as Pat Daniels. I'm like, I wonder if
Colin every once.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
In a day he was actually in one of the
the Cars movies.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh that's the blimp. He was the blimp. He's just
his voice. But yeah, that's cool. That Yeah, man, I
want to be on I want to be in a
Sandler movie. I want to be in a Cars movie
one day. All right, hey, in for Colin and let's
get back to this NFL list. NFL on Fox came
out with the Power rankings, and of course these lists
(02:11):
are made to be talked about, criticized, They're made to
be talked about yeah, we've established that this is courtesy
of NFL. On Fox. Ralph Vakiano O, Ralph Guy. I like, yeah, Ralph,
but she's saying we're talking about it, and props to him,
(02:32):
ralphie v Oh. The one that stood out the biggest
I grab was the Steelers. And the truth is it's
not that anyone's wrong, it's a question mark. It's like, really,
the Steelers, Okay, they're six on the NFL power ranking,
and do you think the Lions are nine?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And the Lions are nine? Great, great point, Danny G,
like you would assume that they'd be a little higher.
And then the other thing that really really stood out,
especially to Rich Davis here again I'm you know that
is Rich Danny G super producer if you want to
chime in on the phones at eight seven seven for
the Herd eight seven seven for the Herd. Rich as
a forty nine Ers fan, a forty nine Ers fan
(03:10):
who watches the schedule closely, knows and talks about and
preaches all the time that the forty nine ers are motivated,
the windows not closed, and they have an easy, breezy schedule.
So when you see that they're ranked at eighteen You're like,
wait a second, it makes no sense. And the meaning
we played yesterday was to see if we could guess
(03:30):
the top fifteen, and the forty nine Ers were not
in the top fifteen. You're like, wow, then who is
bro It's the most disrespectful omission I've seen on a
list in a decade. And then we post the question,
how can you say the forty nine Ers are in
the bottom the bottom tier of the league, cause you
(03:50):
got to fit the Steelers in there somewhere to cause
some controversy. You know, there's a few teams that you
wonder are they top fifteen, like we said the Cardinals,
the Vikings, because again the forty nine Ers are ranked eighteenth.
Mark my words, the forty nine ers are gonna go
twelve and five or better. You know who they don't
play too. I'm gonna tell you who they don't play.
(04:11):
I want to hear this list I do. They don't
play the Bills, they don't play the Ravens, they don't
play the Bengals, they don't play the Steelers, they don't
play the Chiefs, they don't play the Chargers. They don't
play the Eagles or the Lions or the Packers. The
Niners have the softest. They don't play anybody in the
top ten. They play the softest schedule ever, so you
could say that maybe come playoff time they might get
(04:33):
whooped by like the Eagles or Lions if they have
the personnel's not there are gonna be a soft ten
and Oero. Look at the Niners schedule. Seahaw, I'm gonna
give you the first month, Yeah, Seahawks, Saints, Cardinals, Jags,
and they play the Rams tough divisional game. The Bucks
are solid, Falcons, Texans, Giants, Rams, Cardinals again, Panthers, Browns, Titans. Like,
(04:53):
this is a week ass schedule that if the Niners
are even eighty percent of what they were a couple
of years ago, they're over under in Vegas is around
eleven for a reason, because they're not playing anyone of value.
And then for fun, we did speculate on do you
think Perdy and McCaffrey being new dads bond over that.
(05:14):
Are they more motivated or more exhausted with the new
ones in their life? No, no, when you're but they're
not up late changing diapers. Don't people need to realize
you thing? Brock Party is doing a three am changing.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I highly doubt that, highly doubt that, which the bad
teams aren't going to all stay bad.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Rich.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
We see this every NFL season. A couple of those
teams are gonna have turnarounds. Well, they're gonna lose quarterbacks
with injury. I mean, Rich, you were just the schedule,
they could easily be nine to three going to their
bi week easily.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, I mean it. Then again, we're really downplaying the fact.
I know they lost weapons, and I know the forty
nine ers. The big narrative for a while is like, man,
they're letting everyone go, but they still have the core
offensive line they worked on in the off season, they
drafted offensive defensive line, they still have. I think Ricky
Piersoll is gonna have a breakout year. You saw towards
(06:04):
the end of the year. He was coming on. They
need him. Ayuk will come back at some point, and
McCaffrey's one hundred percent going into the season. George kittle
brock Purdy, I don't think it's just the sentiment of
everyone thinking their window has closed because they had a
few chances to pass three plus years. You remember, going
into last year, the big sentiment was the Bills window
closed right yea, and the Bills Jeon Diggs is gone.
(06:26):
They were one of the elite teams of the AFC,
and you know, a play away here and there from
really going all the way. So I think the Niners
are completely disrespected, and I think I hate to say
it because you know nothing against the young dudes on
the Cardinals. But how how could you make a list
where you rank the Cardinals four slots better than the
(06:48):
Niners on this.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
You doubted the Cardinals all last season. Remember I doubt
the Cardinals every year.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I think there are certain teams that you subconsciously like
you're not doing on, but you disrespect even the Vikings rich.
You always leave them out of the conversation. Like when
we were trying to think of the top fifteen, Vikings
were number fifteen. Oh yeah, they got a rookie quarterback
that was pretty good though, you know, and to add
the insult to injury, the Cowboys right after your forty
(07:15):
nine ers at nineteen and the Jaguars at twenty. That's
your NFL Power rankings by Ralph Vakiah. No, well, the Cardinals,
keep in mind, though they also have a pretty meager schedule,
so maybe you know they start against the Saints. Who
do you see, Let's see the Cardinals. First month, Cardinals
play the Saints, Oh, Saints Panthers, then they go to
(07:37):
forty nine, ers to San Francisco and then the Seahawks.
Then they play the Titans and the colt So like
the Cardinals have a pretty soft.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
But you're just you're asking Kyler Murders stay healthy, right,
and that's something he's had a problem doing the last
couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Marvin Harrison Junior to step up to be that top
guy they think he could be. So I don't know what. Yes,
DNYG makes a solid point though we're even speculating, like
we know based on the schedule, like oh, there's always
a team that turns it around, always a surprise team,
and always a team that's supposed to be good and
thinks so, yeah, multiple teams, and we say it every
year one of pitches. One of Rich's top catchphrases is man,
(08:13):
the parody of the NFL. That's what makes it great,
the parody of the NFA. They've made fun of me
for years because I love the word p A r
I t y. Butcause every year it's not just Us,
Colin dan Patrick. Everyone will point out the fun fact that,
unlike baseball in the NBA and other sports hot dog eating,
you know, the top four right basketball baseball, there's always surprising.
(08:36):
The NFL is the one league where, without fail, there's
four team playoff teams now right, every year, more like
half of them or more than half of them are
turnover from the previous year. And you look at the
standings and you say, no, not this year, You'll have
the same teams, and you're right, it's always somebody new,
someone will fall off, like last year. The Niners missed.
(08:57):
Last year, you know, the Bengals missed. There's teams where
you're like, oh, no, all right, I had them. But
I do agree. When Rich and I agree, it's fact
because we often disagree. But when it comes to a
forty nine ers, the health factor is also a major
part of it. And McCaffrey, from what we know, is
completely healthy this season again, extra motivated, new Dad, and
(09:20):
Purdy is healthy. So to have them eighteenth is a
head scratcher. And we go to your thoughts now again
the top five Packers, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Eagles. But there's
surprises you know number six is the Steelers, and we
want to know your thoughts A seven to seven for
the herd at Colvino and Rich. But the fact that
(09:41):
we're even talking about it is what makes today so special,
so much fun. You got some preseason football, you got
the MLB trade deadlines, a special day here on Fox Sports.
That's why you got us Covino and Rich. Oh man,
oh man, I'm just trying to find some man. And
you know when you you see something and it's from
(10:02):
a reputable source and you're like, oh, oh, it's said
that according to CBS Sports, which who died. Now, No,
it's not like it's not like it's not like it's
not like the noodle. You know, no one died. They're
saying that Brendan Ayuk is quote nowhere close. Yeah, he's
gonna be a while, he's gonna I think that. Can
(10:24):
you Is it safe to say that if Rock Purdy
and McCaffrey are both playing a full season, the Niners
are in the playoffs? Yeah? I think that's based on
the soft schedule and based on Kyle Shanahan finds way
is to win, and you know what we're forgetting. I
know you could say stop it rich. I think the
return of Robert Sala as a defensive Robert Salo was
(10:48):
the ultimate defensive coordinator motivator. And I'm not saying he's
not head coach potential, but Robert Salah is your quintessential,
like I want that guy as by defensive forty.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Guys are just better coordinators than they are head coaches.
Spags in Kansas City was a terrible head coach. He's
an off awesome defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So you look at Robert Sall and say, and he's
coming home and he has unfinished business and he went
to the Jets. I what a bet taste in his mouth.
And you know that the guys that were remaining from
a couple of years ago are all pumped to have
Roberts there. So I think the Niners disrespected. In fact,
if you want to go to some feedback, Danny g
we got the phones running on the herd or what
(11:29):
we do.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Let's start with Baker in Illinois. What's up, Baker, Baker?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey, Baker, are you there?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I'm here?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What's up? Bud?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Hey? Uh oh? You you mentioned a few times football
from tonight until Valentine's Day. So I did a little looking.
And if we go to the eighteen game schedule in
the NFL and play the Super Bowl on the Sunday
before President's Day, yeah, every six to seven ish years,
(12:02):
and starting in twenty twenty seven, the Super Bowl would
be played directly on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Wow, we'll get that. I could get you know, you
could two birds with one stone, Honey games on. I
think I think that will happen. I romance. I heard
our very own Dan Patrick here on the network talking
about how you know, according to the NFL, it will
happen at some point, and it only makes sense, right.
I mean, I think once you start pushing it beyond that.
(12:32):
You know how the NCAA is, like, let's put one
hundred teams in the tournament like slow down sixty something.
The bracket's enough. We don't need one hundred teams in
March madness. I think eighteen is perfect. I feel like
pushing it beyond that. Now you're getting selfish. Now it's
a moneyed grab. Now it's injury prone, it's too much,
too much preseason no one cares about anyway. Cut that
(12:53):
back one more game and you're gonna end up doing
if you do eighteen games, and you've heard the rumors
of maybe every team has some type of international game
two bye weeks. I think we're gonna settle on that
and that will be the NFL moving forward for quite
a while. Yeah, right's perfect time has an internet? What
one international like? And you have a base like the
forty nine ers. There's some teams that would play in
(13:14):
Mexico City and some teams that would playing in Germany
or you know, I think one international game two by weeks.
Eighteen games, cut back the preseason because no one plays anyway,
and the Monday after the super Bowl is a holiday
and everyone's a winner. Eight seven seven forty four thirty
four thirty seven A seven seven four thirty four to
(13:34):
thirty seven. That's a seven seven four the Herd. Thanks again, Baker.
That's Baker Mayfield representing his number eleven. Thanks Baker, number
eleven on the Power Rank games one of favorite quarterbacks. Yeah,
they're ranked top fifteen at number eleven. Who else do
we got, Danny g Let's go to Virginia Beach? Sager?
What's up? Sager?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Man?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
What a buddy?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So just wanted to kind of share some thoughts here
first of all Sagas around the world United. I know
you guys work with one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, I was gonna say, this is Saga on our
video team, and I'm like, look at this, I know
two Sagas.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now, yeah, exactly. I'm incredibly jealous about the fact that
there was somebody named Saga at Super Bowl fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Eight other than me.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Nice because you know, I am a lifelong Niners fan,
and you know, with that said, man, I just want
to say that I don't want people talking about us.
I'm fine with eighteen on the power ranking.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And you know what, George Kittle, George Kittle shares your sentiment.
I've seen Kittle say sorry, we're boring, Sorry, there's no
story and Saga. You know, if it's not clear, I'm
a Niners fan as well. Rich Davis, lifelong Niners fan,
and I feel like it's disrespectful and I sometimes feel
like I do have those Homer goggles on.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't want to sound like I'm jaded, but I
do think if you put the Niners at ten, eleven, twelve,
I'd get it because they did take perhaps a step
back with personnel. But eighteen, you're telling me the Niners
are in the attom half of the team according to
that that power rankings. And again, your Niners weren't the
only ones. Host on this list pointed out too, the
Lions totally should be higher than they are. The Niners
(15:11):
on this list are next to the Cowboys and Jags,
Like you really think the forty nine ers the Cowboys, Jags,
and Bears, you think they're in that category. No, And
by the way, you know, Danny g pointed out your
excitement level for the forty nine ers and football. There's
two things to get rich, this excited smut and the
(15:32):
NFL true story. And it's to look at my Instagram algorithm.
It's ass and the forty nine er. I don't try
to stifle him, but not often forty nine er ass
though you could hear the excitement in his voice. On
a personal note, you know you mentioned how today's an
exciting day, baseball's pop and so many teams are still
in it. How do you balance that out for real?
(15:52):
For real? Because usually around this time you shift gears
because your mets usually stink and they let you down
at this point, so you shift all your focus to football, Like,
did I feel your head's going to spin off. I
feel your excitement level for the NFL's there. I could
hear it in your voice, and you still got to
be excited about your Mets. Yeah, that's rare. That's a
rare situation for a lot of people to be it.
(16:12):
Let me. Let me tell you, that's a lot to balance.
I'm not expecting you to care so much, but I'm
just it's a fact. If you go back to the
eighties till now. I'm a kid of the eighties and nineties,
if you're roughly fortyish, the forty nine Ers and the
Mets have historically never been good at the same time,
except when I was a little boy in the mid
(16:34):
eighties when when Montana was peaking and Darryl Strubberry and
not good. And other than that, If you historically go
from the mid eighties till now, anytime the Mets are
making some type of run, forty nine Ers stink, And
when the forty nine ers are good, the Mets stink.
So I think the answer is I'm just going to
ignore my weif and kids. You know what I think.
I think you come here for solutions. I think it's
(16:57):
that's how you do it. Hey, Emmy, Ben my kids
that dad's just gonna be a little mentally unpresent for
the next couple of months. Kids are gonna be tugging
on your pant leg and you're gonna be focused on
the game and on the moves being made. That's how
you balance it, guys. But seriously, like you could hear
Rich's excitement just talking about the NFL, just knowing there's
preseason tonight, and you know what's knowing there's power ranking
mixed into that too. He feels me on this one.
(17:18):
I got two little kids. I just signed them up,
both of them up for fall ball yesterday. So if
you're living that mom or dad coaching parents sport life,
I'm looking at the fall and I'm like baseball, playoffs, football,
and I'm gonna be coaching. I'm gonna be coaching girls
softball and boys baseball in the fall, and they play
soccer too. I'm taking a step away from soccer. I'm like,
(17:40):
you're not able to take a step on a personal note.
When you say yes to all of those things, you're
saying no to others, and a lot of times something
slips as a result, something gets falls through the cracks exactly.
And that's either your relationship or your work work. What
are you saying.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I'm saying, not responding to Covina's exactly say.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
When you got your life here coaching this, watching that,
on this, baseball, football, kids and everything else, things do
fall through the cracks. That's absolutely true. Don't let it
happen to you. You got to prioritize. Remember you tell me
yes that you were George Kittle. It's it's a life balance.
Are you telling me? Is it pe Alonzo over myself?
(18:21):
I'm saying, don't let it be your kids and don't
let it be your relationship, because that's a lot to juggle,
and those are high priority things. These are things that
you get passionate about and that's a lot to balance.
It's true. Know what I'm know what I'm doing as well.
This is that the timing is right. I'm I'm trying
to think of the best way to maximize my football watching.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I can.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You don't tell you I'm a maniac. I I You
don't think the nation of the Herd could hear that
in your voice. You don't need to explain you're the
most hyped up guy anyone's ever heard. Last season, I
bought because they're so cheap. Now, like the Roku t Yeah,
like a fifty sixty inch TV, it's like two hundred bucks.
I bought two additional TVs, so I keep them in
(19:06):
the guest bedroom and I roll them out so my
living room looks like a sports bar. And now I'm
redoing my backyard and my honey. I think we need
a couple of screens. We need a couple of screens
if we're gonna be if we're gonna build a cooking area,
we need a big screen out there. So it looks
like you're waiting in line at an amusement park. Yeah,
you know what. I think you guys are gonna take
a back seat. I'm sorry, Wow, I'm sorry. Here we
(19:29):
go alr P, time and death. Yeah, sorry, Covino on
wretch after twenty years were done. I had something, Remember,
something takes a back seat. That is true. Everything you
say yes to you're saying no to something else. Sign
Who do we got?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Danny Glmar David in Minnesota wants to ask you guys
about the vikings.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
David, Yo, yo, how doing?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Man? Yo?
Speaker 8 (19:48):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't I'll tell you about your vikings. If you
think I'm disrespecting them. I'm not. I'm excited about your
your quarterback. I'm excited about McCarthy, and I'm also you
know what I think. I think Justin Jefferson is just
the most electric wide receiver. So I think you've got
a lot to be excited about.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
You really do so, you think because I was so
sad when he got injured right away? You know, I
was excited to see JJ McCarthy play. So do y'all
think what do y'all think the Vikings will do like
racker By this this season coming up?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Well, look at it this way. You have a you
have you have an offen, you have a quarterback whisperer
as your head coach, you have great coaching, you have
great personnel, And I look at it this way. Two,
you made disagree or agree if the Vikings took it
that far with Sam Donald. And this is no disrespect
to Sam Donald. If you really believe in JJ McCarthy
as a really great young talent, then you should be
(20:42):
able to duplicate that with him. I'm not saying you're
gonna go thirteen and four again or two, but you
you are a winning team. Playoff should be the goal.
The playoff should be the goal for the Vikings again,
especially again with that personnel. The only hesitation is that
that division looks awfully competitive. The Lions, who knows, and
(21:03):
then the Bears that you're get to assume at some point,
Caleb Williams and that team is going to step it
up to next next level. So you have four teams
that all have that might be the one division of football.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Let's take a lookxie. Let's
take a looxie. The Lions are gonna be solid, Packers
are going to be great. The Bears is the question mark,
gonna be really good. I think the NFC North and
(21:25):
I stand by this statement, is the only division where
all four teams think they can make the postseason. And
I know, deep down inside there are teams that realize
down inside, deep deep down inside one of your Greeds.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Remember, yeah, and Rich I disagree a little bit because
with Pete Carroll now in Vegas, I think the entire
a f C West thinks they can run.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Man, you talking about me with the Niners goggles, I'm
not saying what I think because I gotta see Geno
Smith deliver on the field to the universal studios the other day, Right,
unless they put Max Crosby in that Minion's duplicating machine
that I don't know what you think is going to defense.
(22:10):
I sure love the Raiders, and I think when the
Raiders are good, it's good for football. But I think
they're still a little while, a little bit away. But
you know what, that is a division where that might
be your number to answer, because I think every other
division is one team that has the reality of like,
all right, we're not there yet. But I think the
NFC North, all four of those teams are going into
the season. You know, Chicago's like, no, we got a
(22:32):
new coach, We're revamped, we got Kayla Williams, it's time.
The line's like, we're going back. The Packers, Jordan Love,
they they have every reason to think they're going to
be back. They they're number five on that list, they're
six on that list. And Minnesota. I think all four
of those teams think they could win that division. There
(22:52):
was a question being posed by will Bond and Kornheiser yesterday,
did you see who's the biggest start to ever come
out of Minnesota. Kirby Puckett has to be Kirby Puckett.
That's the first star sports star in Minnesota. I mean,
biggest star would be Prince Right now, it was sports
star Dan Gladden's mullet, Dan Gladden's mullet. And by the way,
who's the face of the Vikings, Because that's something we're
(23:13):
gonna get to in a minute. Best best star in
Minnesota in Minnesota history. All right, I have a top three.
It's gotta be puck I'm gonna go Pucket, Garnet, Randy Moss.
I think that's fair. Dare you leave Fran Tarkenton off?
The generational bucket's undeniable, like for your boomer dad, Fran Tarkting.
(23:35):
But I mean, you know, out ofside, out of mind.
I guess that's a bad way to look at it.
But your friend Tarketing, for sure, Pucket was a beast
with the twins. Frank Frank Viol's mustache. Frank Oh Viol's
mustache is a good one. Now I have a story
and it involves a very famous rock band. And I
think this rock band I speak of is a rare
(23:57):
exception because most wrong band's lead singer is the main guy.
He's the face of the band. He gets all the
ass accolades, accolades. Yes, he's the guy who gets all
the accolades, right, the lead guys. But there's some bands,
in some teams where it's not necessarily the lead singer
or the quarterback that's the face of the team. So
(24:19):
what do you think about the vikings? Who's the face
of that? For answer is a great question, you know what,
think about because they might be an exception. Think about
that and I want to hear your story. And by
the way, number one answer on the board when I
think about it, guy that's not the lead singer that
is the most popular. There's two answers. They might be tied,
and I want to hear a story. I'm going to
say it's not the coolest band. But Fallout boy Pete
(24:41):
Wentz people know him because he dated Ashley Simpson and
people the rock dude Pete Wentz, he's like the bass player.
I don't think people know Patrick Stumpy. Yeah, that's that's
a rare sort of situation. Same with NFL football. Team's
any team where hey, maybe it's a receiver or maybe
it's a running back that's the face of the team
and not the court a rare exception. I was also
(25:01):
gonna say Tommy Lee because of his uh penis, I
mean his drumming skills. And yeah, so you know your
thoughts and we'll hear Cavino's story and we'll talk more
NFL next Cavino and Rich and for Colin on The
Herd one More Heard. The Herd streams twenty four hours

get to, and that's why we have a brand new
podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so much
fun in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
(25:45):
time for. Yeah, you blubber list lame in me. Well,
you know what it's called over promise. You should be
good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,

you to be a part of it. We're gonna be

(26:31):
Spot He's doing his best spots on the videos, Fox
Sports Radios, YouTube and everything at Covino and Rich or
streaming Live Sports Radio. Twoey love hanging with you, buddy
as always, you too, Thank you guys for having me in, Danny,
g Ryan, the whole crew is here. Covino on Rich
In for Colin, I say it's more on season, not
because you guys, because I'm looking at all my group
(26:52):
text with your you know you got your your threads
where I'm allergic to those, so yeah, keep me on.
You're telling me you don't have a Yankees group. I do,
but it's usually lots of complaining. And no, I'm saying, Danny,
you said you have a Dodgers group chat where your brother.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Your brother's saying moronic stuff. I mean, he's like, what
are the Dodgers doing? Shake my head, Padres got Mason
Miller and Sears from the A's bad enough. We don't
trade for Hellsley like the Mets and Duran like the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
So yeah, he's just going on and we made a
great point off the air.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
There's certain organizations more than others to blame for this
or that you think of. But you just want to
hear those big names and any other key player or
position player or scrappy kind of guy that you need
for the playoffs. You don't want to hear that right now.
You want that big player name. You don't want the
guy you have to look up to see his stats
on baseball right now. Listen, you are not a GM
(27:44):
remember that, right because when you when you when you're like, oh,
we go, all we got was a middle reliever and
a fourth outfielder. That might be what your team needs,
and you know you're right. People are waiting to be like,
is hell contra on the move? Is someone going to
give some ridiculous offer for schemes? Is someone gonna do that?
That's what everyone's waiting for. Yeah, for sure, And again
(28:04):
anything less is uncivilized. I just uh it just even
the teams that make moves, the fans are buffoons. My
met fan friends are like, this not a World Series team.
I'm like, they're not even in it. There's and I
say to them, they along with the Phillies, Cubs, Dodgers,
all the NL teams that are like doing well right
(28:25):
now are all within a game of each other. To
say no one's in the world Tiars contender is ridiculous.
You just got two big key components of your bullpen.
I just would love all these fans to be GMS
for a day because I said before the one thing
we always need to remember with sports management is that
you have to give up something to get something. Every
(28:48):
sports fan says the same thing. They want all these
big stars, and they're like, yeah, we'll give up a
couple of minor leaguers stubbing an idiot, Well, Rich, I
agree with you. Speaking of idiots Casino and rich Infracolin
on her we got to talk navviy in real quick
for hot water that never runs out. Go tankless with
Navvian right now, save hundreds on a new high efficiency
(29:08):
tankless water heater with local rebates. Well, find the name
of your navvy and contractor in tankless water heater at
Tanklessmadesimple dot com Tankless Made Simple dot com. And I
will say it is a big difference when we redid
our house tankless instead of that big bulky cylinder cylinder
like like you're you know, the old the old timy
(29:29):
times right on the side of the hassle house, a
little panel. All right, let's get into it. It's time
for the herd Line news.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
No, no, this is the herd Line News.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
What's up, guys? So, uh, we'll do a little football here.
Number one, pick cam Ward. They've had a kind of
an up and down. He's going an up and down
start to camp so far. But I thought this was
very funny and interesting the way he described the offense
right now. It was a very gen z Gen Alpha way.
And I think this ties into a segment that you
guys do. And he talked about it where he mentions
(30:05):
is the way that many kids, including mine, talked to
that here's ken Ward.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
Just think we're very med right now from my position
to upfront to the receivers position. But at the end
of it all starts with me. I just don't think
where we need to be.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
But we got it.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
We got a little bit of time. So get on
page from our receivers, watch field more and be actro football.
It might not be where I wanted to be, but
also you know I'm throwing the fifteen sixteen different people
every play, but so that's something that you know, we
got to say at the presses and continue to get
work on.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
So he's saying they're mid, right, Yeah, you gotta be
peak at this point. You can't be mid. You gotta
be peak. That's my fourteen year old told me this week.
He said, Dad, no, he said, he said, it's not
that deep, my guy. What as long as he doesn't
say that you're looking shopped, because that's the insult, Dad,
(30:56):
you're looking chopped.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Earlier, you said that there's always a surprise team in
the NFL. I think the Titans are going to be
a surprise team better than thank you. They are buried
at the Power rankings, the Fox Power Rankings. But I
think cam Ward's gonna shock a lot of people and
they're gonna be pushing for a playoff spot. Maybe not
make the playoffs, but they're gonna be pushing.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
For a playoff spot. But again that that division is
not very good. It's not very good. Is this the
year where Trevor Lawrence makes some noise and we start
talking about how he also like, like, uh, who we
talked about are justin? Herbert is not bringing it? I
mean the narrative that Trevor Lawrence is the guy is
gonna go away eventually totally.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I can't. I cannot figure him out. Like came in
just is this massive prospect in college? Number one pick
and Krevil Lawrence was when he came into the NFL.
They talked about it like Dutson's ol Way Andrew, Look,
has there been a prospect like this?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
And you know nothing? Nothing? This story was wild, guys.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
So and I think you touched on yesterday on your show,
But Luka Doncics was on the Today Show this week
and talked about his offseason workouts and weight loss, and
wait until you hear what they asked him.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
At the end, I was saying, me and my team
just try some new things, you know, different food, different practices.
I actually gave up playing basketball for one month, which
I never done in my life. So it was kind
of challenging.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You felt like you needed to step away from the
game in order to focus on on the fitness aspect
of it. Yeah, so it was just diet and exercise,
that's it. Yeah, No, Zempig, No, none of those shots
are no thing. How zem big, how they and so listen,
I had abs when I was twenty five. The dude's
a young man. How insulting. Then, by the way, I
(32:34):
said yesterday too on our show, it's not like he
was Chubbs from Team Wolf, remember the guy that pays
from Pleas Big Adventure. It's not like he was that fat. Yeah,
diet makes a difference. Why is this so hard to believe?
He's twenty five years old, and by the way, he's
on the cover of Men's Fitness. You see these shots everywhere.
He's slim and trim and looking great. But it's hard
(32:56):
default setting that's automatically thinking, oh, he must be on
a zempic. Now, it's like that's or he just switched
his diet up and got motivated and it's the biggest fu.
I think it's great revenge. You'd be like, yeah, look
at me now, I'm in great shape. But now if
you can keep that up, that'd be honest. I don't
think it's so insulting when a young man who is
a premier athlete just trims up and you're like, oh,
(33:18):
zempic he wasn't again, he wasn't a Lizzo. You just
lost What are we doing here? It's like asking a
girl with really great boobs like those are fake? Right? No?
They no, actually couldn't be real. It's just what we assume. Yes,
it is wild. Just you see who else is really ripped?
Speaker 10 (33:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Just on a side note, have you guys seen boat
Sasha Ver? Wow? My wife crazy, he's ripped right now?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Anyway, that's the news voice, Thank you too, week Well
that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the herd
Line news. All right, So I have a story, and
my story sad to My story's great. I think I
love my story because it was so random, so out
of nowhere. I saw a rock superstar. It's debate, I
(34:10):
could say rock god perhaps I saw rock God in
the most random of places, and I know it's Los Angeles.
We're out here in the mean streets of LA. But
it's not like you bump into celebrities all the time.
This was pretty random. But he's from a band where
you could say all the guys in the band are superstars.
And that's gonna lead to a conversation of well, who's
(34:31):
the superstar, who's the face of this team? And we're
gonna focus on the NFC today. Yesterday we talked about
the faces of the AFC. We're gonna talk about who's
the face of each team in the NFC and who
is the real face of whatever band? Okay, and I'm
gonna tell you my story and we want you to
play along. Eight seven to seven for The Herd. Thank
(34:51):

and we're gonna talk punishments. Old school punishments will explain why,
so start thinking about them. Eight seven seven for the Herd.
Through that in a few minutes. But I want to
set up this story and get you thinking. Okay, So
(35:59):
my daughter was bugging me all week that again. She's
a fifteen just about to be sixteen year old pain
in the ass, right, she's in sheer camp. She's in
that stage of her life. But she's like, dad, Dad,
can you take me to Coldstone Creamery? There's a new
Taco Oreo taco ice cream thing there, and I'm like,
(36:21):
all right, Melody, do we really need that? All week
she's bothered me, and then just the other day my
answer is, yes, you need that. I know, summertime, colt Stone,
trying to get home to watch the Yankee game. It's
been a long ass day. You know, I don't need
Coldstone Creamery. Okay, Luca, all right? So exactly I'm trying
to try to trim up, trying to trim off, but
I want to look like Luca, Come on, dude, Coldstone
(36:43):
got the floodgates. I don't gotta have it right. So,
oh my god. Then she put the teenage guilt trip.
You said that you? And then I'm thinking to myself
as a dad, well, these moments are gonna be few
and far between. She's going to be getting her license
within a year. This kid wants me to take her
to get ice A few moments left her. She's gonna
want to hang out with you. So I started feeling
(37:03):
all guilty about it, and I did one of those
dad moves where I didn't tell her where we were going,
but I pulled in. She's like, where we Oh, we're
a Coldstone. Oh it's usually like a Disney move, not
a Coldstone move, like a surprise. We're a cold Stone
Cream Creek. Relax, We're going to Disney next week, right,
she spoiled, But I didn't want to go, so I
reluctantly went. That's a part of the story. I didn't
(37:25):
want to go. And I'm in there and she's just
taking her time trying to figure out what to order,
and you all kids want cotton candy whatever anyway, but
she's claiming she'd never been to Coldstone, so she's taking
her time, and I'm like, come on, and I see
(37:45):
the silhouette of a rock star come walking my way,
and I'm like, no, no way, this can't be. No way.
I'm seeing things right now and I didn't have my
glasses on either, so I'm like, there's no way. And
then he comes in to the light and he's right
there next to me, and he's looking at the menu.
He acknowledges me. He gives me like a vato nod, like, hey,
(38:06):
what's up, best say? And I look at this guy.
He looks at me, and I'm like, there's no way
he's this guy. And then he starts looking at the
thing and he's trying to figure out his order, and
I'm like, hey, man, you want to order first. He's
like nah, Man, He's like, I don't know what I want.
You guys. Then we start bessing and I'm like, yeah,
my daughter's been bothering me all week because she wants
this taco thing, and now she can't figure out what
(38:28):
she wants. He's like, man, I've had a hankering for
ice cream all week. Man, all week. I figured I
had to get here. Now. This guy is arguably a
rock god, a rock god. He could be the face
of the band, but there's multiple faces of the band.
And again, I want you to start thinking of who's
the face of your team, who's the face of the
(38:49):
NFC team. We're gonna get to that later. But this
guy was none other than are you ready? Paul Stanley
of Kiss Dude? And I'm not even a big kid fan,
but he is a rock legend. You know, He's a
guy most people recognize with the star painted on his
face right oh of Kiss. But he was there ordering.
(39:11):
I don't know if I would have recognized him. That's ridiculous.
Is Paul Stanley's a seventy three year old got the
star hair, get some whipped cream and some chocolate sauce
and then made me paint his face. And I'm not
the biggest Kiss fan, but I totally acknowledge how Mammoth,
how massive that band is worldwide. And you could say, yeah,
Gene Simmons is the lead singer, but it's like a duo.
It's like Axel Rose and Slash, two megastars in that band.
(39:34):
They're all superstars at that point. The birth the birthday
cake surprise of the or the cake batter Batter Better.
And I'm here to tell you that Paul Stanley loves
the birthday cakes. A fron told him I would call
him out on his good order the better Nutter butter,
and they said, uh, mister Stanley, do you like it,
love it or gotta have it? He was like, I
gotta have it. No nobody knew who he was except
(39:57):
for me, so I was like, yo, man, I'm a
big rock fan. Cool to see you. I didn't fan
boy out and ask for a pick, because I you
have the moment, I have the story. I didn't want
to be a lame o fan, but I play his
stuff every weekend on Ozzie's Boneyard. That's on Sirius XM
Channel thirty eight. I'm a big rock fan of all rock.
That's why I got into radio in the first place.
(40:19):
I'll have the chocolate devotion. I'll have the chocolate devote
many kiss Well, that's wild. So again, am I the
biggest kiss fan? No, not at all, But we have
to acknowledge he has a lot of stadium anthems. You
can't go to any game you know, in the US
of A or anywhere in the world without here in
a kiss song.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
He wants to rock and roll all night, party every day,
and also have the delightful peanut butter. Oh and he
licked it up, licked it up. So, guys, what I
want you to start thinking about is who is the
face of the band? Is it always the lead singer?
Not always the lead singer, not always the quarterback. And
this does tie in, like Kevino said, not always the quarterback,
because coming up in a little bit, I have a
theory about what it's says if your team's face is
(41:02):
not the quarterback. We went over the AFC yesterday on
our show. We'll recap that quick, and I want to
go over the NFC and we'll do that coming up
in a little bit. But look at the clock. Fifty
is hit fifty.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
There's a What we gonna do is go back back
into town throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School
went fifty hits. That's fifty after CNR give you the
time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
All right, So we are Covino enrich In for Colin
on the Herd, and we do this every Thursday. We reminisce,
we throw it back, but we get you involved. The
most inclusive show on radio eight seven seven for the Herd,
eight seven seven for the Herd. Right, yes, A seven
seven four thirty four to thirty seven. Now, this is
(41:53):
where a super producer, Danny g comes in because he
always gives us a fun meme or something that's gone
to help us here with the discussion. And there was
a story out of Cowboys Camp and a meme that
went along with it said there were so many fights
at Cowboys Camp that Brian Schottenheimer had players and coaches running, Yeah,
(42:15):
at a professional level, at a professional level, you know,
I gotta do some laps. He was calling out laps
for again players and coaches because there was so much
baby bickering. It's like you went spot during commercials. I mean,
now you guys do last when you know, I coach
a bunch of little kids. I coach my daughter softball
and my son's baseball, And sometimes you think you're punishing
(42:37):
them and they want to do it, and I'm like, yeah,
but look who you're comparing the Cowboys to, right, we
let a bunch of little kids, exactly a bunch of
little kids. Sometimes I'll be like, hey, pick up one
more rock or flower or something. You're gonna do laps.
I run and you want to run. But so the
question is, is based on the Cowboys old school punishment,
what were those punishments you experienced from coaches, parents, teachers
(43:01):
that maybe wantn't fly today or maybe the ones that
you remember most as a kid, becaus a few definitely
pop in my head. We'll go over old school punishments
and of course more NFL coming up. And for Colin
on the herd could be non rich

It's funny you bring that up, because I have a story,
a mind blaster about something that happened and cold Stone
Creamery this week. I ran into a really famous, a
(01:04):
really mega famous rock star at cold Stone Creamery this week.
True story, and that'll lead us to faces of the NFC,
because I want to know if you think this guy
I ran into is the face of this famous, mega
famous band. Okay, okay, we'll talk you. I'll tell you
this story. You're not gonna believe me. And every time
(01:24):
I say Cold Stone Creamery, rich the ice cream shop,
I always say Stone Cold Creamery, like the wrestler has
his own ice cream shop. Man. I mean, listen, it's
an easy thing to miss.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Pat.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And by the way, I got to ask tooy, Colin,
have any interest in TV Chemeos. I'm watching it, you
know when you're watching Happy Gilmore too, And there's a
Dan Patrick as Pat Daniels. I'm like, I wonder if
Colin every once.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
In a day he was actually in one of the
the Cars movies.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh that's the blimp. He was the blimp. He's just
his voice. But yeah, that's cool. That Yeah, man, I
want to be on I want to be in a
Sandler movie. I want to be in a Cars movie
one day. All right, hey, in for Colin and let's
get back to this NFL list. NFL on Fox came
out with the Power rankings, and of course these lists
(02:11):
are made to be talked about, criticized, They're made to
be talked about yeah, we've established that this is courtesy
of NFL. On Fox. Ralph Vakiano O, Ralph Guy. I like, yeah, Ralph,
but she's saying we're talking about it, and props to him,
(02:32):
ralphie v Oh. The one that stood out the biggest
I grab was the Steelers. And the truth is it's
not that anyone's wrong, it's a question mark. It's like, really,
the Steelers, Okay, they're six on the NFL power ranking,
and do you think the Lions are nine?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And the Lions are nine? Great, great point, Danny G,
like you would assume that they'd be a little higher.
And then the other thing that really really stood out,
especially to Rich Davis here again I'm you know that
is Rich Danny G super producer if you want to
chime in on the phones at eight seven seven for
the Herd eight seven seven for the Herd. Rich as
a forty nine Ers fan, a forty nine Ers fan
(03:10):
who watches the schedule closely, knows and talks about and
preaches all the time that the forty nine ers are motivated,
the windows not closed, and they have an easy, breezy schedule.
So when you see that they're ranked at eighteen You're like,
wait a second, it makes no sense. And the meaning
we played yesterday was to see if we could guess
(03:30):
the top fifteen, and the forty nine Ers were not
in the top fifteen. You're like, wow, then who is
bro It's the most disrespectful omission I've seen on a
list in a decade. And then we post the question,
how can you say the forty nine Ers are in
the bottom the bottom tier of the league, cause you
(03:50):
got to fit the Steelers in there somewhere to cause
some controversy. You know, there's a few teams that you
wonder are they top fifteen, like we said the Cardinals,
the Vikings, because again the forty nine Ers are ranked eighteenth.
Mark my words, the forty nine ers are gonna go
twelve and five or better. You know who they don't
play too. I'm gonna tell you who they don't play.
(04:11):
I want to hear this list I do. They don't
play the Bills, they don't play the Ravens, they don't
play the Bengals, they don't play the Steelers, they don't
play the Chiefs, they don't play the Chargers. They don't
play the Eagles or the Lions or the Packers. The
Niners have the softest. They don't play anybody in the
top ten. They play the softest schedule ever, so you
could say that maybe come playoff time they might get
(04:33):
whooped by like the Eagles or Lions if they have
the personnel's not there are gonna be a soft ten
and Oero. Look at the Niners schedule. Seahaw, I'm gonna
give you the first month, Yeah, Seahawks, Saints, Cardinals, Jags,
and they play the Rams tough divisional game. The Bucks
are solid, Falcons, Texans, Giants, Rams, Cardinals again, Panthers, Browns, Titans. Like,
(04:53):
this is a week ass schedule that if the Niners
are even eighty percent of what they were a couple
of years ago, they're over under in Vegas is around
eleven for a reason, because they're not playing anyone of value.
And then for fun, we did speculate on do you
think Perdy and McCaffrey being new dads bond over that.
(05:14):
Are they more motivated or more exhausted with the new
ones in their life? No, no, when you're but they're
not up late changing diapers. Don't people need to realize
you thing? Brock Party is doing a three am changing.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I highly doubt that, highly doubt that, which the bad
teams aren't going to all stay bad.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Rich.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
We see this every NFL season. A couple of those
teams are gonna have turnarounds. Well, they're gonna lose quarterbacks
with injury. I mean, Rich, you were just the schedule,
they could easily be nine to three going to their
bi week easily.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, I mean it. Then again, we're really downplaying the fact.
I know they lost weapons, and I know the forty
nine ers. The big narrative for a while is like, man,
they're letting everyone go, but they still have the core
offensive line they worked on in the off season, they
drafted offensive defensive line, they still have. I think Ricky
Piersoll is gonna have a breakout year. You saw towards
(06:04):
the end of the year. He was coming on. They
need him. Ayuk will come back at some point, and
McCaffrey's one hundred percent going into the season. George kittle
brock Purdy, I don't think it's just the sentiment of
everyone thinking their window has closed because they had a
few chances to pass three plus years. You remember, going
into last year, the big sentiment was the Bills window
closed right yea, and the Bills Jeon Diggs is gone.
(06:26):
They were one of the elite teams of the AFC,
and you know, a play away here and there from
really going all the way. So I think the Niners
are completely disrespected, and I think I hate to say
it because you know nothing against the young dudes on
the Cardinals. But how how could you make a list
where you rank the Cardinals four slots better than the
(06:48):
Niners on this.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
You doubted the Cardinals all last season. Remember I doubt
the Cardinals every year.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I think there are certain teams that you subconsciously like
you're not doing on, but you disrespect even the Vikings rich.
You always leave them out of the conversation. Like when
we were trying to think of the top fifteen, Vikings
were number fifteen. Oh yeah, they got a rookie quarterback
that was pretty good though, you know, and to add
the insult to injury, the Cowboys right after your forty
(07:15):
nine ers at nineteen and the Jaguars at twenty. That's
your NFL Power rankings by Ralph Vakiah. No, well, the Cardinals,
keep in mind, though they also have a pretty meager schedule,
so maybe you know they start against the Saints. Who
do you see, Let's see the Cardinals. First month, Cardinals
play the Saints, Oh, Saints Panthers, then they go to
(07:37):
forty nine, ers to San Francisco and then the Seahawks.
Then they play the Titans and the colt So like
the Cardinals have a pretty soft.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
But you're just you're asking Kyler Murders stay healthy, right,
and that's something he's had a problem doing the last
couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Marvin Harrison Junior to step up to be that top
guy they think he could be. So I don't know what. Yes,
DNYG makes a solid point though we're even speculating, like
we know based on the schedule, like oh, there's always
a team that turns it around, always a surprise team,
and always a team that's supposed to be good and
thinks so, yeah, multiple teams, and we say it every
year one of pitches. One of Rich's top catchphrases is man,
(08:13):
the parody of the NFL. That's what makes it great,
the parody of the NFA. They've made fun of me
for years because I love the word p A r
I t y. Butcause every year it's not just Us,
Colin dan Patrick. Everyone will point out the fun fact that,
unlike baseball in the NBA and other sports hot dog eating,
you know, the top four right basketball baseball, there's always surprising.
(08:36):
The NFL is the one league where, without fail, there's
four team playoff teams now right, every year, more like
half of them or more than half of them are
turnover from the previous year. And you look at the
standings and you say, no, not this year, You'll have
the same teams, and you're right, it's always somebody new,
someone will fall off, like last year. The Niners missed.
(08:57):
Last year, you know, the Bengals missed. There's teams where
you're like, oh, no, all right, I had them. But
I do agree. When Rich and I agree, it's fact
because we often disagree. But when it comes to a
forty nine ers, the health factor is also a major
part of it. And McCaffrey, from what we know, is
completely healthy this season again, extra motivated, new Dad, and
(09:20):
Purdy is healthy. So to have them eighteenth is a
head scratcher. And we go to your thoughts now again
the top five Packers, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Eagles. But there's
surprises you know number six is the Steelers, and we
want to know your thoughts A seven to seven for
the herd at Colvino and Rich. But the fact that
(09:41):
we're even talking about it is what makes today so special,
so much fun. You got some preseason football, you got
the MLB trade deadlines, a special day here on Fox Sports.
That's why you got us Covino and Rich. Oh man,
oh man, I'm just trying to find some man. And
you know when you you see something and it's from
(10:02):
a reputable source and you're like, oh, oh, it's said
that according to CBS Sports, which who died. Now, No,
it's not like it's not like it's not like it's
not like the noodle. You know, no one died. They're
saying that Brendan Ayuk is quote nowhere close. Yeah, he's
gonna be a while, he's gonna I think that. Can
(10:24):
you Is it safe to say that if Rock Purdy
and McCaffrey are both playing a full season, the Niners
are in the playoffs? Yeah? I think that's based on
the soft schedule and based on Kyle Shanahan finds way
is to win, and you know what we're forgetting. I
know you could say stop it rich. I think the
return of Robert Sala as a defensive Robert Salo was
(10:48):
the ultimate defensive coordinator motivator. And I'm not saying he's
not head coach potential, but Robert Salah is your quintessential,
like I want that guy as by defensive forty.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Guys are just better coordinators than they are head coaches.
Spags in Kansas City was a terrible head coach. He's
an off awesome defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So you look at Robert Sall and say, and he's
coming home and he has unfinished business and he went
to the Jets. I what a bet taste in his mouth.
And you know that the guys that were remaining from
a couple of years ago are all pumped to have
Roberts there. So I think the Niners disrespected. In fact,
if you want to go to some feedback, Danny g
we got the phones running on the herd or what
(11:29):
we do.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Let's start with Baker in Illinois. What's up, Baker, Baker?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey, Baker, are you there?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I'm here?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What's up? Bud?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Hey? Uh oh? You you mentioned a few times football
from tonight until Valentine's Day. So I did a little looking.
And if we go to the eighteen game schedule in
the NFL and play the Super Bowl on the Sunday
before President's Day, yeah, every six to seven ish years,
(12:02):
and starting in twenty twenty seven, the Super Bowl would
be played directly on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Wow, we'll get that. I could get you know, you
could two birds with one stone, Honey games on. I
think I think that will happen. I romance. I heard
our very own Dan Patrick here on the network talking
about how you know, according to the NFL, it will
happen at some point, and it only makes sense, right.
I mean, I think once you start pushing it beyond that.
(12:32):
You know how the NCAA is, like, let's put one
hundred teams in the tournament like slow down sixty something.
The bracket's enough. We don't need one hundred teams in
March madness. I think eighteen is perfect. I feel like
pushing it beyond that. Now you're getting selfish. Now it's
a moneyed grab. Now it's injury prone, it's too much,
too much preseason no one cares about anyway. Cut that
(12:53):
back one more game and you're gonna end up doing
if you do eighteen games, and you've heard the rumors
of maybe every team has some type of international game
two bye weeks. I think we're gonna settle on that
and that will be the NFL moving forward for quite
a while. Yeah, right's perfect time has an internet? What
one international like? And you have a base like the
forty nine ers. There's some teams that would play in
(13:14):
Mexico City and some teams that would playing in Germany
or you know, I think one international game two by weeks.
Eighteen games, cut back the preseason because no one plays anyway,
and the Monday after the super Bowl is a holiday
and everyone's a winner. Eight seven seven forty four thirty
four thirty seven A seven seven four thirty four to
(13:34):
thirty seven. That's a seven seven four the Herd. Thanks again, Baker.
That's Baker Mayfield representing his number eleven. Thanks Baker, number
eleven on the Power Rank games one of favorite quarterbacks. Yeah,
they're ranked top fifteen at number eleven. Who else do
we got, Danny g Let's go to Virginia Beach? Sager?
What's up? Sager?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Man?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
What a buddy?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So just wanted to kind of share some thoughts here
first of all Sagas around the world United. I know
you guys work with one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, I was gonna say, this is Saga on our
video team, and I'm like, look at this, I know
two Sagas.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now, yeah, exactly. I'm incredibly jealous about the fact that
there was somebody named Saga at Super Bowl fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Eight other than me.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Nice because you know, I am a lifelong Niners fan,
and you know, with that said, man, I just want
to say that I don't want people talking about us.
I'm fine with eighteen on the power ranking.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And you know what, George Kittle, George Kittle shares your sentiment.
I've seen Kittle say sorry, we're boring, Sorry, there's no
story and Saga. You know, if it's not clear, I'm
a Niners fan as well. Rich Davis, lifelong Niners fan,
and I feel like it's disrespectful and I sometimes feel
like I do have those Homer goggles on.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't want to sound like I'm jaded, but I
do think if you put the Niners at ten, eleven, twelve,
I'd get it because they did take perhaps a step
back with personnel. But eighteen, you're telling me the Niners
are in the attom half of the team according to
that that power rankings. And again, your Niners weren't the
only ones. Host on this list pointed out too, the
Lions totally should be higher than they are. The Niners
(15:11):
on this list are next to the Cowboys and Jags,
Like you really think the forty nine ers the Cowboys, Jags,
and Bears, you think they're in that category. No, And
by the way, you know, Danny g pointed out your
excitement level for the forty nine ers and football. There's
two things to get rich, this excited smut and the
(15:32):
NFL true story. And it's to look at my Instagram algorithm.
It's ass and the forty nine er. I don't try
to stifle him, but not often forty nine er ass
though you could hear the excitement in his voice. On
a personal note, you know you mentioned how today's an
exciting day, baseball's pop and so many teams are still
in it. How do you balance that out for real?
(15:52):
For real? Because usually around this time you shift gears
because your mets usually stink and they let you down
at this point, so you shift all your focus to football, Like,
did I feel your head's going to spin off. I
feel your excitement level for the NFL's there. I could
hear it in your voice, and you still got to
be excited about your Mets. Yeah, that's rare. That's a
rare situation for a lot of people to be it.
(16:12):
Let me. Let me tell you, that's a lot to balance.
I'm not expecting you to care so much, but I'm
just it's a fact. If you go back to the
eighties till now. I'm a kid of the eighties and nineties,
if you're roughly fortyish, the forty nine Ers and the
Mets have historically never been good at the same time,
except when I was a little boy in the mid
(16:34):
eighties when when Montana was peaking and Darryl Strubberry and
not good. And other than that, If you historically go
from the mid eighties till now, anytime the Mets are
making some type of run, forty nine Ers stink, And
when the forty nine ers are good, the Mets stink.
So I think the answer is I'm just going to
ignore my weif and kids. You know what I think.
I think you come here for solutions. I think it's
(16:57):
that's how you do it. Hey, Emmy, Ben my kids
that dad's just gonna be a little mentally unpresent for
the next couple of months. Kids are gonna be tugging
on your pant leg and you're gonna be focused on
the game and on the moves being made. That's how
you balance it, guys. But seriously, like you could hear
Rich's excitement just talking about the NFL, just knowing there's
preseason tonight, and you know what's knowing there's power ranking
mixed into that too. He feels me on this one.
(17:18):
I got two little kids. I just signed them up,
both of them up for fall ball yesterday. So if
you're living that mom or dad coaching parents sport life,
I'm looking at the fall and I'm like baseball, playoffs, football,
and I'm gonna be coaching. I'm gonna be coaching girls
softball and boys baseball in the fall, and they play
soccer too. I'm taking a step away from soccer. I'm like,
(17:40):
you're not able to take a step on a personal note.
When you say yes to all of those things, you're
saying no to others, and a lot of times something
slips as a result, something gets falls through the cracks exactly.
And that's either your relationship or your work work. What
are you saying.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I'm saying, not responding to Covina's exactly say.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
When you got your life here coaching this, watching that,
on this, baseball, football, kids and everything else, things do
fall through the cracks. That's absolutely true. Don't let it
happen to you. You got to prioritize. Remember you tell me
yes that you were George Kittle. It's it's a life balance.
Are you telling me? Is it pe Alonzo over myself?
(18:21):
I'm saying, don't let it be your kids and don't
let it be your relationship, because that's a lot to juggle,
and those are high priority things. These are things that
you get passionate about and that's a lot to balance.
It's true. Know what I'm know what I'm doing as well.
This is that the timing is right. I'm I'm trying
to think of the best way to maximize my football watching.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I can.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You don't tell you I'm a maniac. I I You
don't think the nation of the Herd could hear that
in your voice. You don't need to explain you're the
most hyped up guy anyone's ever heard. Last season, I
bought because they're so cheap. Now, like the Roku t Yeah,
like a fifty sixty inch TV, it's like two hundred bucks.
I bought two additional TVs, so I keep them in
(19:06):
the guest bedroom and I roll them out so my
living room looks like a sports bar. And now I'm
redoing my backyard and my honey. I think we need
a couple of screens. We need a couple of screens
if we're gonna be if we're gonna build a cooking area,
we need a big screen out there. So it looks
like you're waiting in line at an amusement park. Yeah,
you know what. I think you guys are gonna take
a back seat. I'm sorry, Wow, I'm sorry. Here we
(19:29):
go alr P, time and death. Yeah, sorry, Covino on
wretch after twenty years were done. I had something, Remember,
something takes a back seat. That is true. Everything you
say yes to you're saying no to something else. Sign
Who do we got?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Danny Glmar David in Minnesota wants to ask you guys
about the vikings.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
David, Yo, yo, how doing?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Man? Yo?
Speaker 8 (19:48):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't I'll tell you about your vikings. If you
think I'm disrespecting them. I'm not. I'm excited about your
your quarterback. I'm excited about McCarthy, and I'm also you
know what I think. I think Justin Jefferson is just
the most electric wide receiver. So I think you've got
a lot to be excited about.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
You really do so, you think because I was so
sad when he got injured right away? You know, I
was excited to see JJ McCarthy play. So do y'all
think what do y'all think the Vikings will do like
racker By this this season coming up?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Well, look at it this way. You have a you
have you have an offen, you have a quarterback whisperer
as your head coach, you have great coaching, you have
great personnel, And I look at it this way. Two,
you made disagree or agree if the Vikings took it
that far with Sam Donald. And this is no disrespect
to Sam Donald. If you really believe in JJ McCarthy
as a really great young talent, then you should be
(20:42):
able to duplicate that with him. I'm not saying you're
gonna go thirteen and four again or two, but you
you are a winning team. Playoff should be the goal.
The playoff should be the goal for the Vikings again,
especially again with that personnel. The only hesitation is that
that division looks awfully competitive. The Lions, who knows, and
(21:03):
then the Bears that you're get to assume at some point,
Caleb Williams and that team is going to step it
up to next next level. So you have four teams
that all have that might be the one division of football.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Let's take a lookxie. Let's
take a looxie. The Lions are gonna be solid, Packers
are going to be great. The Bears is the question mark,
gonna be really good. I think the NFC North and
(21:25):
I stand by this statement, is the only division where
all four teams think they can make the postseason. And
I know, deep down inside there are teams that realize
down inside, deep deep down inside one of your Greeds.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Remember, yeah, and Rich I disagree a little bit because
with Pete Carroll now in Vegas, I think the entire
a f C West thinks they can run.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Man, you talking about me with the Niners goggles, I'm
not saying what I think because I gotta see Geno
Smith deliver on the field to the universal studios the other day, Right,
unless they put Max Crosby in that Minion's duplicating machine
that I don't know what you think is going to defense.
(22:10):
I sure love the Raiders, and I think when the
Raiders are good, it's good for football. But I think
they're still a little while, a little bit away. But
you know what, that is a division where that might
be your number to answer, because I think every other
division is one team that has the reality of like,
all right, we're not there yet. But I think the
NFC North, all four of those teams are going into
the season. You know, Chicago's like, no, we got a
(22:32):
new coach, We're revamped, we got Kayla Williams, it's time.
The line's like, we're going back. The Packers, Jordan Love,
they they have every reason to think they're going to
be back. They they're number five on that list, they're
six on that list. And Minnesota. I think all four
of those teams think they could win that division. There
(22:52):
was a question being posed by will Bond and Kornheiser yesterday,
did you see who's the biggest start to ever come
out of Minnesota. Kirby Puckett has to be Kirby Puckett.
That's the first star sports star in Minnesota. I mean,
biggest star would be Prince Right now, it was sports
star Dan Gladden's mullet, Dan Gladden's mullet. And by the way,
who's the face of the Vikings, Because that's something we're
(23:13):
gonna get to in a minute. Best best star in
Minnesota in Minnesota history. All right, I have a top three.
It's gotta be puck I'm gonna go Pucket, Garnet, Randy Moss.
I think that's fair. Dare you leave Fran Tarkenton off?
The generational bucket's undeniable, like for your boomer dad, Fran Tarkting.
(23:35):
But I mean, you know, out ofside, out of mind.
I guess that's a bad way to look at it.
But your friend Tarketing, for sure, Pucket was a beast
with the twins. Frank Frank Viol's mustache. Frank Oh Viol's
mustache is a good one. Now I have a story
and it involves a very famous rock band. And I
think this rock band I speak of is a rare
(23:57):
exception because most wrong band's lead singer is the main guy.
He's the face of the band. He gets all the
ass accolades, accolades. Yes, he's the guy who gets all
the accolades, right, the lead guys. But there's some bands,
in some teams where it's not necessarily the lead singer
or the quarterback that's the face of the team. So
(24:19):
what do you think about the vikings? Who's the face
of that? For answer is a great question, you know what,
think about because they might be an exception. Think about
that and I want to hear your story. And by
the way, number one answer on the board when I
think about it, guy that's not the lead singer that
is the most popular. There's two answers. They might be tied,
and I want to hear a story. I'm going to
say it's not the coolest band. But Fallout boy Pete
(24:41):
Wentz people know him because he dated Ashley Simpson and
people the rock dude Pete Wentz, he's like the bass player.
I don't think people know Patrick Stumpy. Yeah, that's that's
a rare sort of situation. Same with NFL football. Team's
any team where hey, maybe it's a receiver or maybe
it's a running back that's the face of the team
and not the court a rare exception. I was also
(25:01):
gonna say Tommy Lee because of his uh penis, I
mean his drumming skills. And yeah, so you know your
thoughts and we'll hear Cavino's story and we'll talk more
NFL next Cavino and Rich and for Colin on The
Herd one More Heard. The Herd streams twenty four hours
a day, seven days a week within the iHeartRadio app.
Search Herd to listen live or on demand whenever you like. Hey,
(25:24):
we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day five
to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we never
have enough time to get to everything we want to
get to, and that's why we have a brand new
podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so much
fun in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
(25:45):
time for. Yeah, you blubber list lame in me. Well,
you know what it's called over promise. You should be
good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we want
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life
and relationships and Rich and I are arguing about something
or we didn't have enough time. It will continue on
our after show called over Promised. Well, if you don't
(26:06):
get enough Covino on Rich make sure you check out
over Promise and also Uncensored by the way, so maybe
we'll go at it even a little harder. It's gonna
be the best after show podcast of all time. There
you go, over Promising. Remember you could see on YouTube,
but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with Cavino and
Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts. Uh, it's moron season. Whoa you're talking about?
(26:31):
Spot He's doing his best spots on the videos, Fox
Sports Radios, YouTube and everything at Covino and Rich or
streaming Live Sports Radio. Twoey love hanging with you, buddy
as always, you too, Thank you guys for having me in, Danny,
g Ryan, the whole crew is here. Covino on Rich
In for Colin, I say it's more on season, not
because you guys, because I'm looking at all my group
(26:52):
text with your you know you got your your threads
where I'm allergic to those, so yeah, keep me on.
You're telling me you don't have a Yankees group. I do,
but it's usually lots of complaining. And no, I'm saying, Danny,
you said you have a Dodgers group chat where your brother.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Your brother's saying moronic stuff. I mean, he's like, what
are the Dodgers doing? Shake my head, Padres got Mason
Miller and Sears from the A's bad enough. We don't
trade for Hellsley like the Mets and Duran like the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
So yeah, he's just going on and we made a
great point off the air.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
There's certain organizations more than others to blame for this
or that you think of. But you just want to
hear those big names and any other key player or
position player or scrappy kind of guy that you need
for the playoffs. You don't want to hear that right now.
You want that big player name. You don't want the
guy you have to look up to see his stats
on baseball right now. Listen, you are not a GM
(27:44):
remember that, right because when you when you when you're like, oh,
we go, all we got was a middle reliever and
a fourth outfielder. That might be what your team needs,
and you know you're right. People are waiting to be like,
is hell contra on the move? Is someone going to
give some ridiculous offer for schemes? Is someone gonna do that?
That's what everyone's waiting for. Yeah, for sure, And again
(28:04):
anything less is uncivilized. I just uh it just even
the teams that make moves, the fans are buffoons. My
met fan friends are like, this not a World Series team.
I'm like, they're not even in it. There's and I
say to them, they along with the Phillies, Cubs, Dodgers,
all the NL teams that are like doing well right
(28:25):
now are all within a game of each other. To
say no one's in the world Tiars contender is ridiculous.
You just got two big key components of your bullpen.
I just would love all these fans to be GMS
for a day because I said before the one thing
we always need to remember with sports management is that
you have to give up something to get something. Every
(28:48):
sports fan says the same thing. They want all these
big stars, and they're like, yeah, we'll give up a
couple of minor leaguers stubbing an idiot, Well, Rich, I
agree with you. Speaking of idiots Casino and rich Infracolin
on her we got to talk navviy in real quick
for hot water that never runs out. Go tankless with
Navvian right now, save hundreds on a new high efficiency
(29:08):
tankless water heater with local rebates. Well, find the name
of your navvy and contractor in tankless water heater at
Tanklessmadesimple dot com Tankless Made Simple dot com. And I
will say it is a big difference when we redid
our house tankless instead of that big bulky cylinder cylinder
like like you're you know, the old the old timy
(29:29):
times right on the side of the hassle house, a
little panel. All right, let's get into it. It's time
for the herd Line news.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
No, no, this is the herd Line News.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
What's up, guys? So, uh, we'll do a little football here.
Number one, pick cam Ward. They've had a kind of
an up and down. He's going an up and down
start to camp so far. But I thought this was
very funny and interesting the way he described the offense
right now. It was a very gen z Gen Alpha way.
And I think this ties into a segment that you
guys do. And he talked about it where he mentions
(30:05):
is the way that many kids, including mine, talked to
that here's ken Ward.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
Just think we're very med right now from my position
to upfront to the receivers position. But at the end
of it all starts with me. I just don't think
where we need to be.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
But we got it.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
We got a little bit of time. So get on
page from our receivers, watch field more and be actro football.
It might not be where I wanted to be, but
also you know I'm throwing the fifteen sixteen different people
every play, but so that's something that you know, we
got to say at the presses and continue to get
work on.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
So he's saying they're mid, right, Yeah, you gotta be
peak at this point. You can't be mid. You gotta
be peak. That's my fourteen year old told me this week.
He said, Dad, no, he said, he said, it's not
that deep, my guy. What as long as he doesn't
say that you're looking shopped, because that's the insult, Dad,
(30:56):
you're looking chopped.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Earlier, you said that there's always a surprise team in
the NFL. I think the Titans are going to be
a surprise team better than thank you. They are buried
at the Power rankings, the Fox Power Rankings. But I
think cam Ward's gonna shock a lot of people and
they're gonna be pushing for a playoff spot. Maybe not
make the playoffs, but they're gonna be pushing.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
For a playoff spot. But again that that division is
not very good. It's not very good. Is this the
year where Trevor Lawrence makes some noise and we start
talking about how he also like, like, uh, who we
talked about are justin? Herbert is not bringing it? I
mean the narrative that Trevor Lawrence is the guy is
gonna go away eventually totally.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I can't. I cannot figure him out. Like came in
just is this massive prospect in college? Number one pick
and Krevil Lawrence was when he came into the NFL.
They talked about it like Dutson's ol Way Andrew, Look,
has there been a prospect like this?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
And you know nothing? Nothing? This story was wild, guys.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
So and I think you touched on yesterday on your show,
But Luka Doncics was on the Today Show this week
and talked about his offseason workouts and weight loss, and
wait until you hear what they asked him.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
At the end, I was saying, me and my team
just try some new things, you know, different food, different practices.
I actually gave up playing basketball for one month, which
I never done in my life. So it was kind
of challenging.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You felt like you needed to step away from the
game in order to focus on on the fitness aspect
of it. Yeah, so it was just diet and exercise,
that's it. Yeah, No, Zempig, No, none of those shots
are no thing. How zem big, how they and so listen,
I had abs when I was twenty five. The dude's
a young man. How insulting. Then, by the way, I
(32:34):
said yesterday too on our show, it's not like he
was Chubbs from Team Wolf, remember the guy that pays
from Pleas Big Adventure. It's not like he was that fat. Yeah,
diet makes a difference. Why is this so hard to believe?
He's twenty five years old, and by the way, he's
on the cover of Men's Fitness. You see these shots everywhere.
He's slim and trim and looking great. But it's hard
(32:56):
default setting that's automatically thinking, oh, he must be on
a zempic. Now, it's like that's or he just switched
his diet up and got motivated and it's the biggest fu.
I think it's great revenge. You'd be like, yeah, look
at me now, I'm in great shape. But now if
you can keep that up, that'd be honest. I don't
think it's so insulting when a young man who is
a premier athlete just trims up and you're like, oh,
(33:18):
zempic he wasn't again, he wasn't a Lizzo. You just
lost What are we doing here? It's like asking a
girl with really great boobs like those are fake? Right? No?
They no, actually couldn't be real. It's just what we assume. Yes,
it is wild. Just you see who else is really ripped?
Speaker 10 (33:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Just on a side note, have you guys seen boat
Sasha Ver? Wow? My wife crazy, he's ripped right now?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Anyway, that's the news voice, Thank you too, week Well
that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the herd
Line news. All right, So I have a story, and
my story sad to My story's great. I think I
love my story because it was so random, so out
of nowhere. I saw a rock superstar. It's debate, I
(34:10):
could say rock god perhaps I saw rock God in
the most random of places, and I know it's Los Angeles.
We're out here in the mean streets of LA. But
it's not like you bump into celebrities all the time.
This was pretty random. But he's from a band where
you could say all the guys in the band are superstars.
And that's gonna lead to a conversation of well, who's
(34:31):
the superstar, who's the face of this team? And we're
gonna focus on the NFC today. Yesterday we talked about
the faces of the AFC. We're gonna talk about who's
the face of each team in the NFC and who
is the real face of whatever band? Okay, and I'm
gonna tell you my story and we want you to
play along. Eight seven to seven for The Herd. Thank

and we're gonna talk punishments. Old school punishments will explain why,
so start thinking about them. Eight seven seven for the Herd.
Through that in a few minutes. But I want to
set up this story and get you thinking. Okay, So
(35:59):
my daughter was bugging me all week that again. She's
a fifteen just about to be sixteen year old pain
in the ass, right, she's in sheer camp. She's in
that stage of her life. But she's like, dad, Dad,
can you take me to Coldstone Creamery? There's a new
Taco Oreo taco ice cream thing there, and I'm like,
(36:21):
all right, Melody, do we really need that? All week
she's bothered me, and then just the other day my
answer is, yes, you need that. I know, summertime, colt Stone,
trying to get home to watch the Yankee game. It's
been a long ass day. You know, I don't need
Coldstone Creamery. Okay, Luca, all right? So exactly I'm trying
to try to trim up, trying to trim off, but
I want to look like Luca, Come on, dude, Coldstone
(36:43):
got the floodgates. I don't gotta have it right. So,
oh my god. Then she put the teenage guilt trip.
You said that you? And then I'm thinking to myself
as a dad, well, these moments are gonna be few
and far between. She's going to be getting her license
within a year. This kid wants me to take her
to get ice A few moments left her. She's gonna
want to hang out with you. So I started feeling
(37:03):
all guilty about it, and I did one of those
dad moves where I didn't tell her where we were going,
but I pulled in. She's like, where we Oh, we're
a Coldstone. Oh it's usually like a Disney move, not
a Coldstone move, like a surprise. We're a cold Stone
Cream Creek. Relax, We're going to Disney next week, right,
she spoiled, But I didn't want to go, so I
reluctantly went. That's a part of the story. I didn't
(37:25):
want to go. And I'm in there and she's just
taking her time trying to figure out what to order,
and you all kids want cotton candy whatever anyway, but
she's claiming she'd never been to Coldstone, so she's taking
her time, and I'm like, come on, and I see
(37:45):
the silhouette of a rock star come walking my way,
and I'm like, no, no way, this can't be. No way.
I'm seeing things right now and I didn't have my
glasses on either, so I'm like, there's no way. And
then he comes in to the light and he's right
there next to me, and he's looking at the menu.
He acknowledges me. He gives me like a vato nod, like, hey,
(38:06):
what's up, best say? And I look at this guy.
He looks at me, and I'm like, there's no way
he's this guy. And then he starts looking at the
thing and he's trying to figure out his order, and
I'm like, hey, man, you want to order first. He's
like nah, Man, He's like, I don't know what I want.
You guys. Then we start bessing and I'm like, yeah,
my daughter's been bothering me all week because she wants
this taco thing, and now she can't figure out what
(38:28):
she wants. He's like, man, I've had a hankering for
ice cream all week. Man, all week. I figured I
had to get here. Now. This guy is arguably a
rock god, a rock god. He could be the face
of the band, but there's multiple faces of the band.
And again, I want you to start thinking of who's
the face of your team, who's the face of the
(38:49):
NFC team. We're gonna get to that later. But this
guy was none other than are you ready? Paul Stanley
of Kiss Dude? And I'm not even a big kid fan,
but he is a rock legend. You know, He's a
guy most people recognize with the star painted on his
face right oh of Kiss. But he was there ordering.
(39:11):
I don't know if I would have recognized him. That's ridiculous.
Is Paul Stanley's a seventy three year old got the
star hair, get some whipped cream and some chocolate sauce
and then made me paint his face. And I'm not
the biggest Kiss fan, but I totally acknowledge how Mammoth,
how massive that band is worldwide. And you could say, yeah,
Gene Simmons is the lead singer, but it's like a duo.
It's like Axel Rose and Slash, two megastars in that band.
(39:34):
They're all superstars at that point. The birth the birthday
cake surprise of the or the cake batter Batter Better.
And I'm here to tell you that Paul Stanley loves
the birthday cakes. A fron told him I would call
him out on his good order the better Nutter butter,
and they said, uh, mister Stanley, do you like it,
love it or gotta have it? He was like, I
gotta have it. No nobody knew who he was except
(39:57):
for me, so I was like, yo, man, I'm a
big rock fan. Cool to see you. I didn't fan
boy out and ask for a pick, because I you
have the moment, I have the story. I didn't want
to be a lame o fan, but I play his
stuff every weekend on Ozzie's Boneyard. That's on Sirius XM
Channel thirty eight. I'm a big rock fan of all rock.
That's why I got into radio in the first place.
(40:19):
I'll have the chocolate devotion. I'll have the chocolate devote
many kiss Well, that's wild. So again, am I the
biggest kiss fan? No, not at all, But we have
to acknowledge he has a lot of stadium anthems. You
can't go to any game you know, in the US
of A or anywhere in the world without here in
a kiss song.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
He wants to rock and roll all night, party every day,
and also have the delightful peanut butter. Oh and he
licked it up, licked it up. So, guys, what I
want you to start thinking about is who is the
face of the band? Is it always the lead singer?
Not always the lead singer, not always the quarterback. And
this does tie in, like Kevino said, not always the quarterback,
because coming up in a little bit, I have a
theory about what it's says if your team's face is
(41:02):
not the quarterback. We went over the AFC yesterday on
our show. We'll recap that quick, and I want to
go over the NFC and we'll do that coming up
in a little bit. But look at the clock. Fifty
is hit fifty.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
There's a What we gonna do is go back back
into town throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School
went fifty hits. That's fifty after CNR give you the
time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
All right, So we are Covino enrich In for Colin
on the Herd, and we do this every Thursday. We reminisce,
we throw it back, but we get you involved. The
most inclusive show on radio eight seven seven for the Herd,
eight seven seven for the Herd. Right, yes, A seven
seven four thirty four to thirty seven. Now, this is
(41:53):
where a super producer, Danny g comes in because he
always gives us a fun meme or something that's gone
to help us here with the discussion. And there was
a story out of Cowboys Camp and a meme that
went along with it said there were so many fights
at Cowboys Camp that Brian Schottenheimer had players and coaches running, Yeah,
(42:15):
at a professional level, at a professional level, you know,
I gotta do some laps. He was calling out laps
for again players and coaches because there was so much
baby bickering. It's like you went spot during commercials. I mean,
now you guys do last when you know, I coach
a bunch of little kids. I coach my daughter softball
and my son's baseball, And sometimes you think you're punishing
(42:37):
them and they want to do it, and I'm like, yeah,
but look who you're comparing the Cowboys to, right, we
let a bunch of little kids, exactly a bunch of
little kids. Sometimes I'll be like, hey, pick up one
more rock or flower or something. You're gonna do laps.
I run and you want to run. But so the
question is, is based on the Cowboys old school punishment,
what were those punishments you experienced from coaches, parents, teachers
(43:01):
that maybe wantn't fly today or maybe the ones that
you remember most as a kid, becaus a few definitely
pop in my head. We'll go over old school punishments
and of course more NFL coming up. And for Colin
on the herd could be non rich
