Sports Radio against streaming live as we speak. You know what,
I feel like I've been neglecting the insho chat going
there right now at Covino and Rich FSR. I'm steak
around because we're going to play last one Standing this hour.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
But yeah, they've all been talking about how their parents
also have the old phones.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh really, yeah, look, all people count, all people matter.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
My mom.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Mike Michael runs his played place, said that Errol Siegel,
guy's a good guy. They went to high school together.
They were there, they were colleg Drimmage.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Was it college?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, you know, eighty one year old Errol Siegel who
can't prince his tickets out. I hope they make that right.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Errol was just super senior when Mike was a freshman.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Say that it was the baby play together once, right,
And by the way, Mike's only a few years altenated me.
For the record, we're just messing with you know. Yeah,
he's he's extra spry when he has these refreshers. So
Fernando Menos is the story.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, let me let me. Let me tell you why
this guy's making it a terrible mistake.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Don't drink the props.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Let me tell you about the NFL draft. This is
something that started in a nineteen in my opinion, in
my vision, like the nineteen eighties looking like offices, like
offices with that like that wood paneling and like old
ass landlines.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Like yeah, it was like a conference room at a hotel.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Like you know, the smell of cigars, like just a
bunch of you know, front office, NFL gms and personnel,
you know, like doing like a half half ass like
you know, visual draft like it was more about, say.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
You know, more than Rocky Bombo.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, No, absolutely, you know panel what panetly Absolutely, you
know so cigar smoke.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Absolutely, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It just went from that.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
And if you watched from l Way to Marino, which
is a grade thirty for thirty, you really do get
the vibe of what an early nineteen eighties draft room
looked like. Yeah, it was old school, might as well
have been a VFW be came a thing. It looked
like a VFW hall with like tan landlines and again
cigarette and cigar smoke. Now a city shuts down and

(05:15):
it's like a it feels like a billion dollar opportunity.
It is We're talking streets are flooded. Whether it's Nashville
or Detroit. Really took the next level. That was crazy, dude.
It's this is big time. It's big, it's huge. It's
really an opportunity for a city to make a ton
of money and showcase what they're all about. Yeah, and

(05:36):
that's great and that's grand, But I think for people
like Fernando Mendoza. Granted number one Raiders. We get all
that one of the biggest names in the draft, if
not the biggest name. He doesn't come from a small
family of five, and that's it.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Rich. You had no cousins growing up, none, zilch zero.
That's truth.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's real.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Dog.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Not only is he close to his intimate family is
his mom and his brother and his dad. This guy
has eight hundred extended mendo like he knows them, but
they have family reunions.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'm not making that up. I swear to you. So
I ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
If you come from a proud Cuban family and they're
all in that Miami area and they're all pumped about
their little Fernando, and you're real close to your mom
and your family who've done everything for you, you don't think
there's a nice side to the story where he wants
he chooses the unpopular. Yeah, I'm going to Pittsburgh. I'd
rather stay with my family in Miami. That's a beautiful thing. Sam, Honestly,

(06:43):
I would do that. That's wonderful guy. I back them up.
I would do the same thing. You know.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I call me a big mama's boy. It's the right
thing to do. Mama's boy.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, it's the right thing to do. I'll call you
mama's boy. Your mom did your lunder until you were
almost thirty. Fine, and I love and respect and honor
her every day.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I have a question. Is it true your mom folded
your underwear until you're almost thirty?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
It was she was It was her pleasure. Bro, She's
to tell me it's my pleasure, Steven, it's her pleasure.
Your stained boxer briefs right here, her pleasure. But you
know what, Fernando Mendoza is a good kid. He it
makes the story makes sense. He wants to spend that
time with his who's more important, his family or the

(07:25):
random mustache having fans.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Of Pittsburgh get out of it here. I have the
answer to that.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
But Sam, can you hit me up with some how
do you not see that there's there's There could be
two ways to look at it, but there's not. Though
we haven't heard some abba in a second, Fernando talk
has been low on the show. While you keep some Abba,
let me tell you that Fernando Mendoza not going to

(07:50):
Pittsburgh to be the number one pick. In the NFL draft.
Walk through that tunnel, that sponsored tunnel where there's lights
and cameras yet and it's a lot of shine for
people that are really looking for it.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
And he doesn't need all that. Bro, you can let
me talking.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
You canna interrupt every sentence just because your a mom
is boy and you want to go home because your
momm would make you chicken cutlets. How could you not
see the flip side of this, because there is no
flip side. There is Family's everything he's entering would be
he'd be nothing.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
If it wasn't for his family.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
He cried and thanked his mom with the heisman. It
was beautiful his mom.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
You know, they him and his mom and dad and
some family members could go to the NFL draft. You
know this right, It's not like they're banned. Yeah, but
he rolls deep. That's my point. He has a lot
of family. It's not just four or five people. He
has a lot of family. He's a Cuban kid in Miami.
They're all over the place out there. Your thoughts eight seven,

(08:41):
seven ninety nine one Fox, it's a big story today.
It's a terrible decision. And you know what the NFL
is thinking right now, Oh, this is awful. You boneheaded kid.
We get it. You love your family. Accommodate the mom,
accommodate the dad.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
And you know they would.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's gonna be the number one pick. Danny G you're
a Raiders fan. Is this upset you?

Speaker 7 (09:01):
No?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
I mean I feel like, hang on, rich you know
you're on your third refresher over there. It is. It
is difficult. And I've read this before that it's difficult
for Fernando Mendoza's mom to travel. So you got to
keep that in mind.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yes, first class do whatever they need to do. It's
like going to see.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
You know what. It's like. It's like, I can't even.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Think of a good enough analogy if it would be
like go to the Oscars, right, and let's say Timothy
Chalome is up for every war and he's like, I'm
just gonna sit this one out.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, I get that. And for the fans, this is
gonna be not as fun of a night as maybe
they imagine, because I imagined him with Roger Goodell holding
up the Raider jersey.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
And that's what everyone thinks. And it's a moment hugging
the commissioner, walking through the tunnel, folding the brim of
the hat before he puts it on.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
This is part of his story.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Those of you who might not know, his mom has ms.
She has multiple sclerosis. It's a big part of the story.
I'm not sure that's the reason, but you know, it's
also something consider you and I know, but I but
I do feel like she was at the National Championship,
she was at the draft.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
They would do the NFL.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I promise you, the NFL would do everything in their
power to give missus Mendoza first.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Class National title game was in Miami here.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
But what I'm saying, but the first class treatment the
Mendoza family would receive. You can't doubt that. It's not
like it's like, well, how are they going to accommodate
the family?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, he's number one, So if he wanted special accommodations,
they would.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
They would, they would. They would have a lounge with
Butler's right next to the stage of Fernando's.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Like, that's what I need.

Speaker 8 (10:32):
D me.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
This is a big misstep by I mean Mendoza. He
may not care, but the NFL hates this.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
They hate it. I don't hate it as much. And
the thing that I was gonna say was They also
hate it because he's the only story of this draft.
Like the draft is not littered with skill position players,
it's not full of quarterbacks. He's the only story and
it's likely to be done with the stories over within
the first hour of making the pick because of the

(11:01):
Dog and Pony show. But just remember the story last
year was should Or Sanders who wasn't there. So should
Or Sanders wasn't at the NFL Draft, and it still
was something that we did talk about a lot. But
I think I think the draft has become way too big.
I have actually no problems with him now staying home.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Ratings or ratings will suffer by the way.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
Cameras think people aren't going to watch because he's not
in attendance.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
But cameras are still going to be up his.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Nose in the living room, right, Yeah, you think a
Raider fans like, screw this.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I'm not watching.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's probably gonna be way more heart hugging to see
his name called, and he's hugging and embracing all his
family there in his living room, crying with all.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
His Cuban relatives. Let's also be real with this. The
Raiders could make the pick now. They could make the
pick right now, but they don't do it because it's
their TV show and he's just not playing a part
of their TV show. He's not being there with the
you know, come out, walk out, give the commissioner a
big hug.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Hey, guys, they're doing a boy meets World reunion and
Tapeng is not coming, Like do you, I mean say
the same by the Mello They're doing a hang But
guess who's not gonna be there. Zach Morris this he's
the star and Dan Byer, I know what you're saying, Like,
probably right, ratings probably won't be affected. But my thought
is it's a movie, it's a concert, and you're you're

(12:22):
missing the.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Star, the lead singer.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
The only as you said, in a draft that doesn't
have a lot of sexy, flashy names, all eyes would
be really honed in on that first ten to fifteen
minutes where it's like the build up to Mendoza holding
up the Raiders, Jersey, Tom Brady probably on hand, the commissioner.
It's a moment that's just gonna not happen. Essentially, I
don't really care. I'm not a Raiders fan, but I

(12:45):
feel like even as I guess I do care because
as a as an NFL fan, I think it's a
cool moment. I would like to say to me, is
a I understand that the NFL care is. That is
a fact that's not debatable. This is big for the NFL.
But a nothing burger of a story. The guy made
a choice. It might not be a popular one, but
it's a good one. Nothing more important than family. Given

(13:05):
Godella big Huggs is the big miss here. I don't
see it that way. Let's go to the phones at
eighty seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Who do we got Danny G? Danny G Raiders fan?

Speaker 4 (13:18):
He doesn't even care.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
We got a you know, the Mark Mendoza. His third
cousin is online five Mark.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
The Animal Mendoza from Twisted Sister. Yeah, they're related. They'll
be there at his house. We're at a big party.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Let's talk to Mark about this.

Speaker 8 (13:31):
Mark.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Man? What up?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Mark?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (13:34):
Hey, guys, red Shaw, I know you want to suo
and everything, but you're wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (13:39):
I mean I have a zero perside Cuban, but I
am Italian and just remember, don't ever take sights against
the family. He like he's he's the first guy that
never get the draft, which he's not. And show it right, Bil,
you remember that part and dumping dumber where they're crying
and there was a wrinkle up the hundred bills and
blowing their nose and crying best owners and canal poor

(14:00):
owner at all.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Hey man, rich Ketam, you're you're telling me how wrong
I am. I couldn't disagree more, to be honest. And
he comes from a big, big, old school Cuban family.
It makes all the sense of I might not even
surprise even a little bit by this decision. I have
a question, you know what, I thought about it more
and I'm even more right by the way. Hold on,
hold on, can you puse your question? Remember, because I

(14:25):
think you're gonna forget?

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Why do you think?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Why do you think I'm gonna forget? Remember when we
grew up, there was things like.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Block parties and family reunions, things that like barely exist.
It's so tough to get people together nowadays, Like when's
the last time you had a real family reunion? Last
time I think we had a real family reunion. My
family's only been in this country for like sixty years,
maybe like in the eight like eighty something, nineteen eighty
something at a park. Okay, seriously, this this family held

(14:54):
you blay whiffleball against your uncle Fetessey time.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Somehow is able to gather eight one hundred their family
men every four years, and they're committed to it.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
That was it. They don't need to get together in
a special moment. That goes to show you in a
world where where so hard.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's so hard to get together with family, they still
manage to do that, proving this is we've known this
prior to this, this story today, proving how close they are.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
So nobody should be surprised by this.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
That's actually a wonderful thing in today's world, that this
guy's choosing family instead of the limelight of being there
in Pittsburgh. That's how I see it. It's one hundred
percent how I see it. All Right, we got we
got a squeeze call?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Is the true?

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Your mom just texted you? That's my boy.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
No, she can't text on a I don't know how
to do. My mom holds the phone because a hot potato.
You know, I said, I I thought of something else,
and it maybe even more right. Let me tell you
why I'm even more right.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
No one's agreeing with you.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
You gotta tell you why I'm even more right. Maybe
in your mind you're right, I'm more right. And then
we'll take the phone calls. We have last one standing.
But here's my final point. Dan Bayer said it and
it didn't even dawn on you knuckleheads, you fools.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
There's no mystery.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Part of the joy of the family would be like,
oh my god, is uh is he gonna get picked
in the second round with the thirty knife pick the
ravens choose, and it's like, oh my god, it happened
to get the phone call? That might be these these uh,
these moments of surprise, these moments of mystery.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
It doesn't have to be a surprise party.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
But Danny, I'm saying, those moments of of of pure surprise,
and you, Bilee, happened when you when who's the greatest
player in the NFL right now, right now? Patrick Mahomes arguablyieh,
where was he when when you got drifted? Who gives
it diddly squat. My point is when there's a mystery,
there might be a cool thing, like you're with your family,

(16:48):
the tears happy. It's Oh my god, I'm gonna be
a ram Oh my god, I'm gonna be a seahawk.
We everyone in his family in the world knows he's
gonna be a raider. Go hold up to Jersey, Hunt
the commissioner.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
All right, we got phone quickly here Rich the trucker
is driving through Georgia.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Budd Hey, guys, how are we doing so quick? I
was I married into a family. My father in law
was a Puerto Rican and I went to my first
family reunion, and let's just say there was at least
one hundred and fifty there. So I think the Latin
community is gonna be I think Rich is wrong on
this one.

Speaker 9 (17:23):
Man.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, dude, he have his fly Cubano party in Miami. Man,
Miami's gonna go wild for this guy.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
All right, we have time for one more call before
we get the last one standing.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
You guys keep saying Cuban. What I so badly want
a nice Cuban sandwich? How good is that? So?

Speaker 4 (17:39):
I asked Riches daydreaming about Portos. Alright, let's talk. Let's
suck to Carly in Illinois.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Carly, I'm I'm thinking about Sophia Vergara. Rich is thinking
about sandwiches.

Speaker 10 (17:52):
Car casino, right, rich family comes to worst first. Always
just because you're out with your kids playing ball, you
think that makes you the best stats in the world. Now,
I think they're going to grow up and walk away
from you. Wait and see how it feels. Wait until
they walk away and they move away and you can't

(18:16):
see in this office they knew he was going to
be number one at Indiana when Brady was there.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
No, I think he's got to be. I think this
is right on point, right on brand.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
It shows why he's different and why he's special and
why we love him because of decisions like this. All right,
so your thoughts want to get to everybody, but we can't.

Do you happen to know his lifetime batting average off
off the top of the let's see.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
I'll look it up right now. But here's a crazy stat.

sixty eight Fall Classic.

Speaker 10 (39:10):
You know.

I said three to zero three. World Series should have
went higher. Dan Beyer, great guests, man, Yeah, you were
you were more on par there three twenty three career hits.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
And we had the players of interviewing lu Bronc.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
That is true.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
You know how we've interviewed lou Brock before he passed away.
We were in the studio and they go, do you
guys want lou Brock on of course, Kavino and I
was big baseball fans, like, yeah, sure the hell.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
It was to the All Star Game years ago and
it was Luke Brock was promoting steal a bass, steal
a taco for Taco.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Bell and he kept saying it over and over like.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
He was in promo and We're like telling all these
great He's telling us all these great old school stories
like yeah, and then I was in the World Series
or was nineteen seventy. By the way, if you steal
a bae, steal a taco, but he can't steal the base,
steal the taco.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, that's great that.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
It was really cool though, being in the presence of
a legend like lou Brock. But man, tell us about
the Cardinals. They tell us behind the scenes, Well, man,
I played with some great players. But know what I've
always said, steal the base, stealing taco. It was honestly,
it was a real pleasure and eating a legend throwing
this out there too. This I don't know if I'm
wrong here I have his rookie. Is he on the

(40:35):
same car? And notice now, who's all with Tommy John?
You know how they would have two people on one carder?
You know whose rookie car was like that? Ozzie Smith
was on a rookie card with someone?

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Was it Terry Pendleton? Who wasn't Ozzie Smith?

Speaker 4 (40:48):
Also?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
But I have lou Bronx's Rookie. I'm pretty certain, am
I lose my mind? Was Ozzie Smith on a card
with someone? His tops rookie was just him? Ozzie was
on a card with someone right? Anyway, thank you guys
for playing along. Last one standing. We normally do that
on Mondays, but we had Big Poppy yesterday so we
switched it around. But every day we're giving away prize

(41:09):
is having a good time and appreciate all the feedback.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Today. Now there's a few things going on. Let's keep
our fingers crossed for the.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
News tonight, right, world news, and let's enjoy some baseball
and I want your thoughts on this.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
Fernando Mendoza thing, because.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Sometimes the unpopular decision is the right decision. Yeah, he's
staying home with his family as opposed to going to
Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Are you opposed to.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
If this is the case, if he is staying behind?
I mean that was the honest Don't you think the
Mendoza family needs to really do some cool bonus footage
of where like cameras are there, but also fun interviews
and they do like features, Like there's gotta be something
because if he's like the name of this draft, it
can't just be like, yeah, there he is sitting with
his uncle and number one he's like, hey, he thumbs up.

(42:00):
I think they need to have like a notable reporter
there where they're doing. Like maybe I'm not saying a
game with him, but you know what I'm saying, Like
there needs to be something a little more there. Yeah,
this guy, like with the presentation of the jersey and
like it needs to have a little little pizzazz with
lack of a better word, No, bezaz is a great word, man,

(42:20):
I know, I don't know, I can't think of many
words better than pizzazz.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Well, you know what I think about that? Tonight. I
will see you guys tomorrow. Have a great night.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Enjoy It's a Tuesday, little baseball, little NBA, and that
means MIDWEK Major tomorrow, no doubt, have a great one.
Until then, enjoy your Tuesday. Rid baby the promise. Thank you,
