Speaker 3 (00:33):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'll give you props for a second because I don't often.
We were in Vegas once and you know, Covino's big
fight guy, and it's always like, dude, this guy says
every week I'll fight.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Of the week.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
He's so ingrained that We were at a casino and
there's Tafebo Lopez and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Is that Tafeble Lopez.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He walks up to Cavino's like, Yo, Covino, did they
bring it in?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
HOI come on, Cavino, it's my guy. Covino.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
By the way, I felt really cool about that for
sure for me, So I'm a tea female guy. But
I'm from born I'm from Union, but born in Nork,
New Jersey, home of Ja course sevens and put it
this way, it's gonna be a great fight.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Enjoy the weekend. As we get ready for Super Bowl Week,
we're gonna be apt.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And the East Coast getting ready for a what is
this spot a bomb cyclone?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You know that shit is not awesome. Stay safe now.
Predictions are a big thing. People are making predictions, bro
It's the prediction market rage exactly. But we're seeing a
lot of predictions on social media creep up this week.
So off to Dome. We're gonna tell the story and
we're gonna give you some of our best and worst
predictions in sports.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You start digging into the players a little more, being
that we're you know, you have two weeks to prepare
for a Super Bowl and for us that you know,
when you do podcast, video, radio, TV, it's a lot
of time two.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Weeks, So you start digging in.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Like I found out, Sam Donold's grandpa's name is Dick Hammer,
and he's the Marlborough Man, and he was an Olympian
and every and then I'm looking up Drake May stuff,
and I'm like, I only look up Drake May. There's
a tweet that re emerged. I thought this was ridiculously awesome.
There was the dude Farcas who tweeted in twenty twelve,
(02:13):
holy crab, Drake May is the best athlete I've ever
seen playing up a league and still the best in
the league. And twenty twelve, fourteen years ago, when Drake
May was not even ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Old, just a little kid, but came from an athletic family.
You know, big brother played college basketball and everything. But
you know, I guess it was pretty obvious that as
a little kid he was just school and all the
other little kids with exposive speed and skill, and he.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Threw it out there.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
And we live in a world now where you could
see the digital footprint of the proof.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I love that shit because, you know, as a coach,
I feel like, should I start making bold predictions.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Like yeah, a little doing this kid's the shit like poy,
You're gonna me wrong a lot more than you're right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But it is cool the fact it's someone this dude, Farcus,
Scott Farcas was watching a probably a little pop Warner
football game, and he did go on to say, yeah,
he was stiff farming kids three years older than him.
And if you have kids, you know that nine and
like eleven and twelve is a big difference. So Drake
May was that kid at nine.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He was him. Yeah, you know it's gonna be May.
And look at him today. Is this Drake May in
twenty twelve or today? I can't tell, right he.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
May Maybe he was that size then and just such
a baby face.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Though.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The other one that I thought was interesting because once
you saw that tweet, you're always gonna hear someone say, well,
have you seen the page Beckers one WNBA star and
college basketball star Page Beckers someone tweeted when she was
in sixth grade? Sixth grade standout this remember the name
fort minor style, Gary Knox Say's Page Beckers sixth grade?
(03:48):
Think Diana Tarassi best sixth grade g I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
She meant guard but org too. Yeah, she was just
straight gangsta on the court. She's a Saint Louis Park
but called it back then. So imagine how good she was,
how great she was as just a little kid.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I feel like you only see that when there's like
a high school basketball standout A lot of times when
a baseball or football players fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, they're still
finding their body and getting bigger, and they're still growing basketball.
That's why that like annual like McDonald's high school game, you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Always do see those guys end up in the NBA.
There was a lot of people that saw me hit
my twenty seven little league home runs instaid the same thing.
Thing is I just I know, but there's no digital footprint,
there's no social media proof. And I didn't grow after fourteen,
the same way there was a right up on you
in the Union noodle. No. Well, I'm sure there's a
(04:43):
lot of articles about the bombs that I hit, but
you know I didn't grow after twelve. Really, I if
I had a time machine and I could use it
only once, I think I would go back in time
to see that happen. Oh, okay, it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
You know it probably was.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He probably doesn't tell us the part where they were
all like ground ball inside the park, up runs.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Inside the park. Home runs never count, that's my rule. Now,
it got us thinking on the back and left field,
but out of the park, into the dark, got us
thinking of other famous sports predictions, and man, when you
start thinking of them, name it is one of the
first that comes to mind.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh yeah, because Joe Namath. Back then, the Baltimore Cults. Yeah,
they were Baltimore. They were a heavy favorite over Joe
Namath and the Jets. So when he's like, I guarantee
a victory, everyone thought he was full of shit.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
To be honest, garandee wee.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
As I pointed out to you as we were preparing
the show, this image of Namath walking out as a winner.
How many times does an NFL package end with this?
Like this is part of the It's always Dwight Clark,
the catch, and this is always part of I said, packaging.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You got distract.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now everyone's thinking about Joe Namath's NFL package.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Kiss me photo.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm hiding it under my fear, kiss me my bag,
but no name it. That's one of the greatest predictions
of all time. This is before social media. This is
when you know, this is before people would make predictions
all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
This is when it was bold to make a.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Prediction, like you say something like that, you gotta walk
the talk. And that's what made him a legend. And
if we're talking predictions. I think the guy that sort
of invented the blueprint, the guy bold enough to really
do it, was a young before he was Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clays. Mama called him Cashus. I'm gonna call him Cashus.
Nineteen sixty four. He was a seven to one underdog
(06:32):
against Sonny Liston, and he gave the whole folk like
a butterfly, sting like a bee, and hetkotum like Muhammad
Ali on me time the sixth round. Listen didn't get
out for the seventh.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
If you're watching what you should be on the YouTube page,
you could listen to over Promised. But if you're watching
that picture that Spotty put up, there's so many fascinating
things about that because it's such a split second in time. Yep,
the fact that back then it wasn't the same cameras
we have now where it's a click click, click, clicklick
that is the shot.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And then a young Larry Merchant you always.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Love to point out, Look between his legs, Look in
the back. There's Larry Merchant. Yeah, back in the back, back,
And that is arguably one of the greatest sports photos
of all time, oh easily.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And you know what happened after that?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I am the greatest.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And he was because he called it and it happened.
But with great predictions, there's bad predictions, especially in sports.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
To the good ones.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Do you believe that the Simpsons have predicted some of
these things?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Everything you think back to the future, they said, the
Miami Marlins Cubs.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I mean, I've done some of it. Some of it
is fake, yeah, I just coincidence, coincidence, coincidentance. But when
it comes to sports, a lot of people have hot
takes and love to live in the world of predictions.
That's not what we do. But it's fun to give
your opinion and throw it out there. But some of
the worst ones haunt some of our colleagues making predictions.
(07:58):
When you do a radio show, podcaster, TV show, I
would you would think you're more vulnerable, Like my dad
likes to be like, Oh, if I were you, I
would hate to get it wrong. I'm like Dad, look around,
everyone gets it wrong. You're way more wrong than you're right.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I was like that my Super Bowl. I'll keep you.
I'll tell you one thing I got right this year
and one thing I got wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
My Super Bowl prediction was Ravens Lions. Neither team made
the playoffs. However, I also said the Chiefs are gonna
miss the playoffs, and everyone thought I was crazy. So
you're gonna miss, You're gonna hit, It's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Well, when you think of worse predictions in sports. And
I say this respectfully because I admire Max Kellerman, Max Max,
Max Drama Show Max. I love Max as a fight guy,
as a sports guy. But he did say Brady was done,
and that haunts huntil this day. Brady said, hold on.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Tom Brady's just about done.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It could be his next game he plays, it could
be a year from now, but he is going to
fall off a cliff.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That was the line fall of the cliff. And uh,
just for the record, that was in twenty sixteen. Tom
Brady played many more years and won three more Super Bowls.
After Max Kellerman said that, I know, and it haunts
him till this day. So again, I'm not trying to
add salt to the wound. But sometimes you gotta have
that hot take and be a loudmouth. And that's what
(09:17):
Skip Bayless does. And he's also known for some of
the worst takes because he's always just thrown crazy stuff out.
I'm pretty sure he said that Johnny Manzel would be
bigger for Cleveland than Lebron James ever was.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
That's exactly like that.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean, listen, I get it because at the time
Menzel Johnny football, he came with the hype the Browns
are such a down and out organization. But yeah, that
was sort of like grand opening, grand closing that never
worked out the way they wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I admire the prediction, it just did not work out.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And don't think that people don't hear this stuff and
use it as motivation, because one that comes to mind
for me and you personally is our old agent telling
us that he put the feelers out there and he's
talked to everybody and there's no room in the world
of sports for Cavino and Rich And then we told
that guy to lick.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Our ass and within within a month we got this gig.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So within a month we were hired by Fox Sports
Radio nationwide. And that's the truth. So I think he
made a bad prediction when he said that, and I
used that as motivation to fuel the fire.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Well, there were some if you want to dive deeper
into this look it up on your own time. But
this is huge when new TV show's debut. I recently
saw a list where it was like TV shows and movies,
people got wrong and there were critics.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
So, like The Office, this is terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'm surprised at the last, like an episode, there was
someone that thought South Park wouldn't last twenty something years
lay tatters. So there's always someone that has a really
shitty prediction.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
And speaking of prediction, there was I guarantee there were
someone that's like, you know, this Marvel Universe thing probably
won't work out.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Barbie, you're making Barbie a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Talking with your favorites, hit us up at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio, hashtag over promised, And speaking
of predictions, I'm just gonna throw this out there to everybody,
the over promised Fox Sports Radio Nation to you. We
don't like to make them, but it's fun to speculate.
What's Lebron James gonna do? Speaking of Lebron and predictions,
(11:18):
what's he gonna do? There's a lot of rumblings of
what his next move is gonna be. And he was
just asked, Hey, is this your last game in Cleveland,
and if you missed it, this is what he said.
Oh Lebron James, Lebron j.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
You're during the game at any point, do you think
like that this could be the last game I play here?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So I better soak it in.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I mean yes, I mean every road arena I've been in,
you know. I think I talked about that. That just
trying to take take everything and I take the moments
for granted because it could be. You know, obviously I
haven't made a decision on the future, but very well
could be.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So very well could be his last game at Cleveland
sort of open end. Did could be foreshadowing? Leave it
to your interpretation. My interpretation is this his relationship with
the Lakers isn't that great? No, they just got beat
last night pretty bad too in Cleveland, and man, I
(12:16):
think they're both looking to move on and figure out
a way. And I think deep down Lebron either he
retires or he retires in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Runs it back one last time.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I'm back one last time, because a guy in Cleveland,
he's not going out without some sort.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Of farewell Hurrah. That would be the first time a
person went to Cleveland three times on purpose. Ever, fun
times in Cleveland again Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, so he did what seven years in Cleveland, then
four and then he's with Miami for back in Cleveland,
and now eight with the Lakers. With the Lakers, and
you could see that that relationship has run its course
a little bit, right, and the whole Genie Bus controversy
of he wasn't grateful when they drafted his son and
he's saying, oh, I thought we were cool. I think
(13:04):
all of these things are just leading to the point
where they make a nice little trade. It's either a
matter of the Lakers, wait, they don't have to really
give up anybody, or they make a trade that could
benefit them and Cleveland at the same time where he
ends his career and they get someone there.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It's what is Lebron's value, right, because it's short term value,
but it's still Lebron James, ticket sales money, everything. Like
you got to ask yourself, is Cleveland down for that?
What is Cleveland willing to give up if that scenario
presents it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
They got some big men that the Lakers could use.
So we ask you again, predictions, what does Lebron do?
My guess, I wouldn't put my money on it. But
my guess is he retires a cavalier.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, all right, now, something we do every week, you
don't have to let you know who might be asked.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh no, this is different, though, Rich, This is official.
Oh we're not even debating. Yeah, I mean some people
may think it might be asked. We're here to tell
you an over promised it's ass and that yeah is
the Pro Bowl. It's officially ass.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Pro Bowl's ass.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And I'll quote spot because I agree with what we
were saying before, Like the Pro Bowl sort of is
for losers because if you make it to the Super Bowl,
you can't be in the Pro Bowl. So mahomes what
we're saying the other day. He only has been in
like one Super Pro Bowl in the last decade a
team I've only been in I think three and uh
last one in twenty three And I really don't give
(14:29):
a squad about it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
And you know who's playing in this one?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Should horse answers. That really watered down the reputation, and
it made you realize that it's been asked for a while. Honestly,
the cake for years to bo Getters, Travis Kelcey, Josh Allen,
like these guys are probably yeahing, no thanks, people go now,
because I feel like I might as well.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But it used to be in Hawaii you would take
your family. Now used to mean some Yeah, there was
a it was a meaning to it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So it's official, it's not it might be asked, it's
officially asked. With all the news surrounding the Pro Bowl,
and as far as might be asked, we're still figuring
it out. But it seems like this week the NFL
Hall of Fame might be asked, you're gonna leave out
Bill Belichick might be asked. But some people are saying, hey, hey,
(15:19):
these writers and voters, they have integrity.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Officially asked the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Well, listen, there's no football this weekend. There's a fight
this weekend. But since we're gonna be in San Francisco
next week, next week's over promised. We're gonna have I
anticipate multiple bonus over promise because we're gonna be talking
to a lot of athletes, celebrities, the who's who of
the Bay Area because we're gonna be there all week
media row. So next week, not only our daily Shawn
(15:49):
Fox Sports Radio, look out for Bonus Podcast and Bonus
over promise.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
So who's gonna be out there in Santa Clara besigns
all the athletes and pro bowlers. Oh, dad, sports check,
Hot Sports checks, Hot Sports.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And maybe we'll do a segment and a whole special
one Hot sports Chicks. Yeah, so Bonus pods next week, Hey,
hot sports chick, Hey, hot sports chick.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Reporter. Hey, it's up, what's up?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
What's ups? He'll be in a Hot Sports Chick. He'll
be Hot who meets sports. So next week, well, Bonus pod.
So let me get my my Super Bowl bet in
right now, get it in like fleeing' we're talking bets. Yeah,
but I got a bet, Yes, bets.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I want to take a look real quick at the
Patriots schedule because I'm not one to say, well, you know,
their schedule was weak, but when you make a bet,
you do have to analyze. This guy wants to take
a look at the Patriots cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
How did they get here? Why are you here? How
are you here? Right, that's the question. Let's look at
the schedule. Four New England Patriots this year, they started
against the team with the worst record in the league,
the Raiders. They actually lost that game win. I know,
(17:07):
Miami losing team the Steelers, who stunk, but they did
make the playoffs under five hundred Panthers, Bills.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They played the Bills.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Twice obviously because that's their division team.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Other than that, Saints, Titans, Browns, Falcons, Bengals, Jets, Bucks, Giants, Ravens,
Jets again, Dolphins again. Do you know out of their
seventeen games, fourteen of those games, fourteen of those games
(17:42):
or against losing record teams, they only played three games
against a team over five hundred and two of those
are the Buffalo Bills, and one of those were the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And I don't look at the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
As like ooh, that's like that was early Aaron Rodgers
struggles Steelers. Right, So I hate to time this back
to fights, but they're battles, right. Have you been battle tested?
Is always the question is who did you play? Who
did you fly fight? And that's the question. Matter of course,
Stevenson this weekend, it's like.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, but who did he be? Who did he fight?
Tia Fimo fought a lot of tough competitors. So that
being said, Rich, I do see major seahawks and then
especially when your grandfather is uh Cara Dick camra Well.
And then you go to the playoffs from that hammer bloodline,
and you play a great defensive team like the Texans,
but C. J. Stroud may have played the shittiest game
(18:31):
a quarterback has played in the playoffs. And then you
played in the championship game against the team that had
a backup quarterback and it was a snow game that
really got thrown for a loop. So I think that
the path to the Super Bowl to the Patriots, God
bless him.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
They got there.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
They did what they needed to do, which is what
you could ask all you could ask any team. But
I think when you line them up and size them
up against Seattle, who beat the Niners a couple times,
get the one seed, and then in the playoffs and
then they beat the Rams in a close game.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
By the way, Donald's in a zone.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Donald is playing lights out.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I like the Seahawks minus four and a half, but
the bet I like even more because I think if
the Seahawks win, the MVP is clear, So spot throw
it up. I made that image. By the way, you
like that nice glorious Sam Donald? Plus you sure you
should get it tattooed if it happens, plus one twenty five,
Dick Camer's grandson wins the MVP. Plus one twenty five
(19:31):
bet one hundred twenty five because I think the Seahawks
win the game either. And if the Seahawks win the game,
Smith and Jigbu would have to get like one hundred
and eighty yards two hundred yards.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
For him to be the MVP.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I don't think there's a running back you know it
is Kenneth Walker gonna run for two hundred yards. So
I think I think it's a very safe bet to
say Sam Donald's your MVP.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, Dick Cameras and be looking down very proud this
weekend or next week. And I should you think Sam
Darnold will at any point we'll look up and be yeah,
is there a prop where he thanks to camera? I
like to thank God, my teammates, my coaching stef ever. Well, guys,

fight guy, and it's always like, dude, this guy says
every week I'll fight.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Of the week.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
He's so ingrained that We were at a casino and
there's Tafebo Lopez and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Is that Tafeble Lopez.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He walks up to Cavino's like, Yo, Covino, did they
bring it in?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
HOI come on, Cavino, it's my guy. Covino.
Speaker 2 (00:57):

sure for me, So I'm a tea female guy. But
I'm from born I'm from Union, but born in Nork,
New Jersey, home of Ja course sevens and put it
this way, it's gonna be a great fight.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Enjoy the weekend. As we get ready for Super Bowl Week,
we're gonna be apt.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And the East Coast getting ready for a what is
this spot a bomb cyclone?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You know that shit is not awesome. Stay safe now.
Predictions are a big thing. People are making predictions, bro
It's the prediction market rage exactly. But we're seeing a
lot of predictions on social media creep up this week.
So off to Dome. We're gonna tell the story and
we're gonna give you some of our best and worst
predictions in sports.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You start digging into the players a little more, being
that we're you know, you have two weeks to prepare
for a Super Bowl and for us that you know,
when you do podcast, video, radio, TV, it's a lot
of time two.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Weeks, So you start digging in.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Like I found out, Sam Donold's grandpa's name is Dick Hammer,
and he's the Marlborough Man, and he was an Olympian
and every and then I'm looking up Drake May stuff,
and I'm like, I only look up Drake May. There's
a tweet that re emerged. I thought this was ridiculously awesome.
There was the dude Farcas who tweeted in twenty twelve,
(02:13):
holy crab, Drake May is the best athlete I've ever
seen playing up a league and still the best in
the league. And twenty twelve, fourteen years ago, when Drake
May was not even ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Old, just a little kid, but came from an athletic family.
You know, big brother played college basketball and everything. But
you know, I guess it was pretty obvious that as
a little kid he was just school and all the
other little kids with exposive speed and skill, and he.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Threw it out there.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
And we live in a world now where you could
see the digital footprint of the proof.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I love that shit because, you know, as a coach,
I feel like, should I start making bold predictions.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Like yeah, a little doing this kid's the shit like poy,
You're gonna me wrong a lot more than you're right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
But it is cool the fact it's someone this dude, Farcus,
Scott Farcas was watching a probably a little pop Warner
football game, and he did go on to say, yeah,
he was stiff farming kids three years older than him.
And if you have kids, you know that nine and
like eleven and twelve is a big difference. So Drake
May was that kid at nine.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He was him. Yeah, you know it's gonna be May.
And look at him today. Is this Drake May in
twenty twelve or today? I can't tell, right he.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
May Maybe he was that size then and just such
a baby face.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Though.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The other one that I thought was interesting because once
you saw that tweet, you're always gonna hear someone say, well,
have you seen the page Beckers one WNBA star and
college basketball star Page Beckers someone tweeted when she was
in sixth grade? Sixth grade standout this remember the name
fort minor style, Gary Knox Say's Page Beckers sixth grade?
(03:48):
Think Diana Tarassi best sixth grade g I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
She meant guard but org too. Yeah, she was just
straight gangsta on the court. She's a Saint Louis Park
but called it back then. So imagine how good she was,
how great she was as just a little kid.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I feel like you only see that when there's like
a high school basketball standout A lot of times when
a baseball or football players fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, they're still
finding their body and getting bigger, and they're still growing basketball.
That's why that like annual like McDonald's high school game, you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Always do see those guys end up in the NBA.
There was a lot of people that saw me hit
my twenty seven little league home runs instaid the same thing.
Thing is I just I know, but there's no digital footprint,
there's no social media proof. And I didn't grow after fourteen,
the same way there was a right up on you
in the Union noodle. No. Well, I'm sure there's a
(04:43):
lot of articles about the bombs that I hit, but
you know I didn't grow after twelve. Really, I if
I had a time machine and I could use it
only once, I think I would go back in time
to see that happen. Oh, okay, it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
You know it probably was.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He probably doesn't tell us the part where they were
all like ground ball inside the park, up runs.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Inside the park. Home runs never count, that's my rule. Now,
it got us thinking on the back and left field,
but out of the park, into the dark, got us
thinking of other famous sports predictions, and man, when you
start thinking of them, name it is one of the
first that comes to mind.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh yeah, because Joe Namath. Back then, the Baltimore Cults. Yeah,
they were Baltimore. They were a heavy favorite over Joe
Namath and the Jets. So when he's like, I guarantee
a victory, everyone thought he was full of shit.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
To be honest, garandee wee.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
As I pointed out to you as we were preparing
the show, this image of Namath walking out as a winner.
How many times does an NFL package end with this?
Like this is part of the It's always Dwight Clark,
the catch, and this is always part of I said, packaging.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You got distract.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now everyone's thinking about Joe Namath's NFL package.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Kiss me photo.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm hiding it under my fear, kiss me my bag,
but no name it. That's one of the greatest predictions
of all time. This is before social media. This is
when you know, this is before people would make predictions
all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
This is when it was bold to make a.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Prediction, like you say something like that, you gotta walk
the talk. And that's what made him a legend. And
if we're talking predictions. I think the guy that sort
of invented the blueprint, the guy bold enough to really
do it, was a young before he was Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clays. Mama called him Cashus. I'm gonna call him Cashus.
Nineteen sixty four. He was a seven to one underdog
(06:32):
against Sonny Liston, and he gave the whole folk like
a butterfly, sting like a bee, and hetkotum like Muhammad
Ali on me time the sixth round. Listen didn't get
out for the seventh.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
If you're watching what you should be on the YouTube page,
you could listen to over Promised. But if you're watching
that picture that Spotty put up, there's so many fascinating
things about that because it's such a split second in time. Yep,
the fact that back then it wasn't the same cameras
we have now where it's a click click, click, clicklick
that is the shot.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And then a young Larry Merchant you always.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Love to point out, Look between his legs, Look in
the back. There's Larry Merchant. Yeah, back in the back, back,
And that is arguably one of the greatest sports photos
of all time, oh easily.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And you know what happened after that?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I am the greatest.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And he was because he called it and it happened.
But with great predictions, there's bad predictions, especially in sports.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
To the good ones.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Do you believe that the Simpsons have predicted some of
these things?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Everything you think back to the future, they said, the
Miami Marlins Cubs.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I mean, I've done some of it. Some of it
is fake, yeah, I just coincidence, coincidence, coincidentance. But when
it comes to sports, a lot of people have hot
takes and love to live in the world of predictions.
That's not what we do. But it's fun to give
your opinion and throw it out there. But some of
the worst ones haunt some of our colleagues making predictions.
(07:58):
When you do a radio show, podcaster, TV show, I
would you would think you're more vulnerable, Like my dad
likes to be like, Oh, if I were you, I
would hate to get it wrong. I'm like Dad, look around,
everyone gets it wrong. You're way more wrong than you're right.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I was like that my Super Bowl. I'll keep you.
I'll tell you one thing I got right this year
and one thing I got wrong.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
My Super Bowl prediction was Ravens Lions. Neither team made
the playoffs. However, I also said the Chiefs are gonna
miss the playoffs, and everyone thought I was crazy. So
you're gonna miss, You're gonna hit, It's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Well, when you think of worse predictions in sports. And
I say this respectfully because I admire Max Kellerman, Max Max,
Max Drama Show Max. I love Max as a fight guy,
as a sports guy. But he did say Brady was done,
and that haunts huntil this day. Brady said, hold on.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Tom Brady's just about done.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It could be his next game he plays, it could
be a year from now, but he is going to
fall off a cliff.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That was the line fall of the cliff. And uh,
just for the record, that was in twenty sixteen. Tom
Brady played many more years and won three more Super Bowls.
After Max Kellerman said that, I know, and it haunts
him till this day. So again, I'm not trying to
add salt to the wound. But sometimes you gotta have
that hot take and be a loudmouth. And that's what
(09:17):
Skip Bayless does. And he's also known for some of
the worst takes because he's always just thrown crazy stuff out.
I'm pretty sure he said that Johnny Manzel would be
bigger for Cleveland than Lebron James ever was.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
That's exactly like that.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean, listen, I get it because at the time
Menzel Johnny football, he came with the hype the Browns
are such a down and out organization. But yeah, that
was sort of like grand opening, grand closing that never
worked out the way they wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I admire the prediction, it just did not work out.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And don't think that people don't hear this stuff and
use it as motivation, because one that comes to mind
for me and you personally is our old agent telling
us that he put the feelers out there and he's
talked to everybody and there's no room in the world
of sports for Cavino and Rich And then we told
that guy to lick.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Our ass and within within a month we got this gig.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So within a month we were hired by Fox Sports
Radio nationwide. And that's the truth. So I think he
made a bad prediction when he said that, and I
used that as motivation to fuel the fire.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Well, there were some if you want to dive deeper
into this look it up on your own time. But
this is huge when new TV show's debut. I recently
saw a list where it was like TV shows and movies,
people got wrong and there were critics.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
So, like The Office, this is terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'm surprised at the last, like an episode, there was
someone that thought South Park wouldn't last twenty something years
lay tatters. So there's always someone that has a really
shitty prediction.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
And speaking of prediction, there was I guarantee there were
someone that's like, you know, this Marvel Universe thing probably
won't work out.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Barbie, you're making Barbie a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Talking with your favorites, hit us up at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio, hashtag over promised, And speaking
of predictions, I'm just gonna throw this out there to everybody,
the over promised Fox Sports Radio Nation to you. We
don't like to make them, but it's fun to speculate.
What's Lebron James gonna do? Speaking of Lebron and predictions,
(11:18):
what's he gonna do? There's a lot of rumblings of
what his next move is gonna be. And he was
just asked, Hey, is this your last game in Cleveland,
and if you missed it, this is what he said.
Oh Lebron James, Lebron j.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
You're during the game at any point, do you think
like that this could be the last game I play here?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So I better soak it in.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I mean yes, I mean every road arena I've been in,
you know. I think I talked about that. That just
trying to take take everything and I take the moments
for granted because it could be. You know, obviously I
haven't made a decision on the future, but very well
could be.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So very well could be his last game at Cleveland
sort of open end. Did could be foreshadowing? Leave it
to your interpretation. My interpretation is this his relationship with
the Lakers isn't that great? No, they just got beat
last night pretty bad too in Cleveland, and man, I
(12:16):
think they're both looking to move on and figure out
a way. And I think deep down Lebron either he
retires or he retires in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Runs it back one last time.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I'm back one last time, because a guy in Cleveland,
he's not going out without some sort.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Of farewell Hurrah. That would be the first time a
person went to Cleveland three times on purpose. Ever, fun
times in Cleveland again Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, so he did what seven years in Cleveland, then
four and then he's with Miami for back in Cleveland,
and now eight with the Lakers. With the Lakers, and
you could see that that relationship has run its course
a little bit, right, and the whole Genie Bus controversy
of he wasn't grateful when they drafted his son and
he's saying, oh, I thought we were cool. I think
(13:04):
all of these things are just leading to the point
where they make a nice little trade. It's either a
matter of the Lakers, wait, they don't have to really
give up anybody, or they make a trade that could
benefit them and Cleveland at the same time where he
ends his career and they get someone there.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It's what is Lebron's value, right, because it's short term value,
but it's still Lebron James, ticket sales money, everything. Like
you got to ask yourself, is Cleveland down for that?
What is Cleveland willing to give up if that scenario
presents it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
They got some big men that the Lakers could use.
So we ask you again, predictions, what does Lebron do?
My guess, I wouldn't put my money on it. But
my guess is he retires a cavalier.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, all right, now, something we do every week, you
don't have to let you know who might be asked.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh no, this is different, though, Rich, This is official.
Oh we're not even debating. Yeah, I mean some people
may think it might be asked. We're here to tell
you an over promised it's ass and that yeah is
the Pro Bowl. It's officially ass.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Pro Bowl's ass.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And I'll quote spot because I agree with what we
were saying before, Like the Pro Bowl sort of is
for losers because if you make it to the Super Bowl,
you can't be in the Pro Bowl. So mahomes what
we're saying the other day. He only has been in
like one Super Pro Bowl in the last decade a
team I've only been in I think three and uh
last one in twenty three And I really don't give
(14:29):
a squad about it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
And you know who's playing in this one?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Should horse answers. That really watered down the reputation, and
it made you realize that it's been asked for a while. Honestly,
the cake for years to bo Getters, Travis Kelcey, Josh Allen,
like these guys are probably yeahing, no thanks, people go now,
because I feel like I might as well.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But it used to be in Hawaii you would take
your family. Now used to mean some Yeah, there was
a it was a meaning to it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So it's official, it's not it might be asked, it's
officially asked. With all the news surrounding the Pro Bowl,
and as far as might be asked, we're still figuring
it out. But it seems like this week the NFL
Hall of Fame might be asked, you're gonna leave out
Bill Belichick might be asked. But some people are saying, hey, hey,
(15:19):
these writers and voters, they have integrity.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Officially asked the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Well, listen, there's no football this weekend. There's a fight
this weekend. But since we're gonna be in San Francisco
next week, next week's over promised. We're gonna have I
anticipate multiple bonus over promise because we're gonna be talking
to a lot of athletes, celebrities, the who's who of
the Bay Area because we're gonna be there all week
media row. So next week, not only our daily Shawn
(15:49):
Fox Sports Radio, look out for Bonus Podcast and Bonus
over promise.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
So who's gonna be out there in Santa Clara besigns
all the athletes and pro bowlers. Oh, dad, sports check,
Hot Sports checks, Hot Sports.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And maybe we'll do a segment and a whole special
one Hot sports Chicks. Yeah, so Bonus pods next week, Hey,
hot sports chick, Hey, hot sports chick.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Reporter. Hey, it's up, what's up?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
What's ups? He'll be in a Hot Sports Chick. He'll
be Hot who meets sports. So next week, well, Bonus pod.
So let me get my my Super Bowl bet in
right now, get it in like fleeing' we're talking bets. Yeah,
but I got a bet, Yes, bets.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I want to take a look real quick at the
Patriots schedule because I'm not one to say, well, you know,
their schedule was weak, but when you make a bet,
you do have to analyze. This guy wants to take
a look at the Patriots cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
How did they get here? Why are you here? How
are you here? Right, that's the question. Let's look at
the schedule. Four New England Patriots this year, they started
against the team with the worst record in the league,
the Raiders. They actually lost that game win. I know,
(17:07):
Miami losing team the Steelers, who stunk, but they did
make the playoffs under five hundred Panthers, Bills.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
They played the Bills.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Twice obviously because that's their division team.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Other than that, Saints, Titans, Browns, Falcons, Bengals, Jets, Bucks, Giants, Ravens,
Jets again, Dolphins again. Do you know out of their
seventeen games, fourteen of those games, fourteen of those games
(17:42):
or against losing record teams, they only played three games
against a team over five hundred and two of those
are the Buffalo Bills, and one of those were the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And I don't look at the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
As like ooh, that's like that was early Aaron Rodgers
struggles Steelers. Right, So I hate to time this back
to fights, but they're battles, right. Have you been battle tested?
Is always the question is who did you play? Who
did you fly fight? And that's the question. Matter of course,
Stevenson this weekend, it's like.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, but who did he be? Who did he fight?
Tia Fimo fought a lot of tough competitors. So that
being said, Rich, I do see major seahawks and then
especially when your grandfather is uh Cara Dick camra Well.
And then you go to the playoffs from that hammer bloodline,
and you play a great defensive team like the Texans,
but C. J. Stroud may have played the shittiest game
(18:31):
a quarterback has played in the playoffs. And then you
played in the championship game against the team that had
a backup quarterback and it was a snow game that
really got thrown for a loop. So I think that
the path to the Super Bowl to the Patriots, God
bless him.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
They got there.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
They did what they needed to do, which is what
you could ask all you could ask any team. But
I think when you line them up and size them
up against Seattle, who beat the Niners a couple times,
get the one seed, and then in the playoffs and
then they beat the Rams in a close game.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
By the way, Donald's in a zone.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Donald is playing lights out.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I like the Seahawks minus four and a half, but
the bet I like even more because I think if
the Seahawks win, the MVP is clear, So spot throw
it up. I made that image. By the way, you
like that nice glorious Sam Donald? Plus you sure you
should get it tattooed if it happens, plus one twenty five,
Dick Camer's grandson wins the MVP. Plus one twenty five
(19:31):
bet one hundred twenty five because I think the Seahawks
win the game either. And if the Seahawks win the game,
Smith and Jigbu would have to get like one hundred
and eighty yards two hundred yards.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
For him to be the MVP.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I don't think there's a running back you know it
is Kenneth Walker gonna run for two hundred yards. So
I think I think it's a very safe bet to
say Sam Donald's your MVP.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, Dick Cameras and be looking down very proud this
weekend or next week. And I should you think Sam
Darnold will at any point we'll look up and be yeah,
is there a prop where he thanks to camera? I
like to thank God, my teammates, my coaching stef ever. Well, guys,
