Speaker 1 (01:12):
What is what?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Did the new coordinators say that he was like a
work in progress.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Or something still developing?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Developing along those lines thirty two years old today still develops.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
A new head coach said that, oh is that's right
to the head coach.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, yeah, we talked about that, like that's a backhanded compliment,
sort of an insult. Well, it's like almost it's like saying,
like you got so much more to give, but it's
almost insinuating you haven't been giving it right. All right,
So we're gonna wrap this up with your phone calls now.
At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Scott Scheffler
says he'd give a major title up if the Cowboys won.
(01:48):
Got us thinking, when's the best time in life, in
your life to see your team win? Would you be
insulted or find it acceptable? Let's say your girlfriend said
you would you have so much potential if you went
to the gym more.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
She probably does see that. I don't blame her. Fair
all right?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Uh want to go to the phone call, say how
to Nick and Colorado? Nick, when do you think as
a fan is the best time to have your team
win the championship in any sport.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Hey, Rich, you nailed it, man, I was.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
My parents are.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Both from the Cleveland area, so I grew up a
Cleveland sports fan.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Nice hast that pass that curse on to my son
and uh when they won the twenty sixteen title, my
son was thirteen, completely into it.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I of course have been into it for life.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
My dad, unfortunately passed away now was still there. And
to watch that happen with the three generaate just I
don't have.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Any other championships compare it to because of Cleveland, but
it was.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I can't imagine a better one.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
All right, I can't tell you can't top that. You're
right about that. Hops is still around, Tops is still around.
You waited your whole life, and your kid was in
that perfect pocket of you know, those were his heroes.
He's collecting baseball cards and everything else.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's not fair, Nick one that argument.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't want to wait till in my fifties to uh,
to have the Mets win. But if it met, my
son was like old enough to really appreciate it, and
Papa Greg, Papa G was still around. My dad was
still around. Yeah, that would be the pockets. I mean,
you can't beat that story, so I'm not even gonna try. Thanks,
(03:19):
Ni La. Let's say how to Evan Evan as a fan,
when do you want your team to win? I know
the answers all the time, But if you had to
pick your twenties, your forties.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
When you're an old guy, like really old, Like, what's
the answer?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
All right, Hey, guys, long time listeninger. I love you, guys.
I love you, rich love you because you know Danny
d You're the man van Bier freaking awesome in the
corner and everybody does the freaking news death.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
All right, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Sam just got really sad because he left them out
in spot.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
All right, Sam, Sam's the man and that spot is
the fucking o.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
G right, pause, don't don't dump his call. Just dump
what he said, Yeah said we got was a good
all right?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Can continue on in the corner.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, Sam's above man in the corner that I freaking like.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
All the girls tell us, tell us when's the best
time to win?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You guys had to them on there the best way
to win, Like it's probably like early, like if you're
going to see it, like I like to see in
my twenties early thuries the World I remember my dad
saw them, saw the Dodgers win right when I was
born around I was born in eighty six, eighty eight.
He always wanted to see us see a title together
and he just missed out. He's killing the car crash,
(04:31):
you know of like ten years before the Dodgers won.
So he always promised me they ever get back to
the World Series, We're going to go, no matter what
the money is. And but he wanted to see them
later in his life too, in it's like sixties and seventies.
But I had one question for rich do you remember
Suburban Commando?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Of course I remember Suburban Commando. The hulks are at
not as fun as I.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Was watching that at five in the morning on tubue
and it was making me crack my butt up, Like
I think you should like watch that with your kids. Dude.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's one of the bait commanda. I'll put that on
the list like a Hogan classic. Rest in peace, Hollywood, hoolks. There,
that phone call is a roller coaster of emotions. Man, jeez,
thank you, buddy. Who else do we go next? Let's
go Jeff in Virginia Jeff. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Hey Jeff, Hey guys, great great show. Thanks being with
you guys, Thanks for taking my call. It's interesting you
bring this up in relation to the Cowboys because I've
been a lifel on Cowboys fan and I actually was
nine years old. That's like my first recollection of really
watching the Cowboys was in nineteen eighty one. I was
nine years old. I remember the catch, right, you two
(05:37):
and the Cowboys losing to San Francisco in the NFC
Championship that was eighty two.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, that's like one of my first sports memories. That's
why I brought that up. When Rich talked about his
World Series. When he was a kid, one of my
first clear memories was my family members freaking out about
Dwight Clark catching it like that, because I just remember
the family reacting to it and like, oh, this is
a big deal. I guess I was like five six
years old, but I remember that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Crying crying, right, And then I suffered through the Danny
White years, right, and then the one in fifteen season,
and I was in college when the Cowboys had their
run in the nineties and it was awesome. Right, you're
such a You're such a huge fan, like when you're
in college of everything, right, sports, and so I thought
(06:24):
that was the best time to see them come back.
And actually, you know, beat San Francisco in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You guys got the best of us more than often.
That was redemption.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
But now now your guy have I'm doing the math.
You got your fifties years old? Is now a time
where you like, now you feel like you really wanted
or not a climate a street light pole at fifty something.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You know, it's it's been so many years of suffering now, right.
It seemed like an eternity when you're a kid, but
now the gap is the drought has been so long.
It's just like I just I just I'm just happy
if they do anything.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Dude, less time, less time.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Uh, the Cowboys won anything like none of us had phones,
none of us had you probably didn't have internet. Thank you, Jeff.
Let's go to Troy in Virginia, be Tritsa buddy, Hey Troy.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, y'all doing.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Not too much.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'd say our age now because you.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Can afford to go see them if they make it.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I mean, in your twenties.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You kind of ass out.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, that's what Rich was saying.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I feel like right now, you know, if you're
a middle aged professional, if you're forty ish and you
got kids and you got you know, decent money, you
could be like, hey, guess what, son, We're going to
the game. Like that to me is like, that's the dream,
that's the ticket. Yeah, So I think about it.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's going to be I guess different for everybody. Yeah,
if you got kids in they're in that pocket where
it matters. I'm sure that adds the ads to the joy.
So think about it. And man, Scott Scheffler, it's amazing
he's such a winner because he's rooted for such a
loser his whole life. And by the way, for all
the Yankees fans, you could blame Covino. Do you know,
Danny g might not know this. I was saying, the
(08:05):
Covino Yankees curse.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Do you know this?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, it was a pretty good time to win. My daughter,
Melody was born right when the Yankees, it was what.
She was born November two. The Yankees won the World
Series November third, so I was still there in the hospital.
So on back to back days, Cavino became a father
and the Yankees won the World Series in two thousand
and nine, and I said, you had the greatest week ever.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's over now.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I have once said, isn't the curse of Melody my daughter?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
They just have to go get someone pregnant. Yeah, I
gotta break that curse. So, uh, we got to talk
you about this Christian Wilkins story only because what the
headline reads and what the reality is likely two different stories.
This goes back to something that we often like to
point out, there's always the truth and the twist, right,
So it seems like social media, even media here on
(08:57):
the radio, leads with the twist, like the spin, So
there's always the truth in the spin. The spin with
the story is that he was released from Danny's Raiders
because he kissed the teammate on the head. Is that
the truth or the spin? That's the spin. The truth
is he had a foot injury that he failed to
get operated on the Raiders Like all right, dude, this
(09:18):
is the final straw beat it. Yeah, I mean he
didn't rehab properly. In the timeline in which the Raiders
suggested they spent a lot of money, the guy you know,
signed one hundred million dollar deal. Now he's fighting for
that money. The scapegoat story might be like, yeah, he
was rubbing his teammates the wrong way and he kissed
the dude on the head. The spin is always the headline,
and the headline is he kissed the teammate and that's
(09:39):
why he's not on the team.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Well, you see the NFL reporters with their juicy write
ups about this, and then at the end they're like,
but that's not the whole story.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Of course, Yeah, there's more to this.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Christians, please, you need the just Alex Cora just said.
Baseball wasn't there headline with Alex Corr talking about how
baseball analysts a lot of times makeup rumors around the
deadline just because they did juice. Yeah, yeah, that was
a recent story this week. He has a past of
being well, according to his colleagues, sort of a freak.
They say, he's kind of a freaky dude. He's been
(10:12):
pinching cheeks, like cheeks in the in the huddle. He
was known for grabbing opposing players junk and like, you know, aggressively.
When he was in Clemson in the NFL, he was
kissing other players. When he was with the dolphins and everything.
But I'm not saying in like a sexual way, but
in like a freaky way, like in a weird way,
like what's this guy doing, Like I'm gonna get in
(10:33):
your head, right, getting your head type of way.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So he has a history of doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
So when he kissed his teammate and rubbed them the
wrong way, that became the headline. But again this goes
back to his foot but because of his antics, grabbing ass,
playing slab ass. A lot of this is alleged, by
the way, but footage I've seen it, but the headlines
the headline of Wilkins out because you know, kissing a
(10:59):
team at a in the head isn't really the full story.
But with that said, it does pose a question here
because I know your answer. You're man to man. Pet
Peeves or his rich likes to call it the man
to man no knows because I know Krino being that,
being that he's like a prideful like East Coast Italian guy,
(11:22):
half Italian, half Mexican, all the pride this guy has.
When another grown man grabs Cavino's neck with his hand,
like you know when someone goes behind you, like you
know why, because I grew up in New Jersey. There's
something about another guy nuput his arm around you, don't
you get fresh with me?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Almost taking his.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Hand like picture some big fat Italian guy taking his
big meat hook and that's exactly it and put it
on your neck, like hey, you'll get over your guy.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
My uncle used to do that to me and my
brother hate both of us would shake him off.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like I mean, and every big fat Italian guy thinks
they're Tony soprano and they have the right to do
that to you.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And that and that would happen to me a lot
growing up.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Give me, I had a guy, dude, this rich Remember
the story because I remember coming out on the air
in my younger days talking about it with this fat
botch of a loop. Took me by the back of
the necks that give me a kid, and I'm like,
what's up. He's like, you girl, you got over there?
You bet it?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
They gab I'm like, who are you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You smell like sausage. Get out of my face. You
got gobba gol on your cheek. And he was grabbed
me by the back of the neck like you gotta
they gave a kid, you understand. Look at me, you like,
get out of here, Vinnie Pastor And it's that and
you know what else they do too, and it's another
man to man. No, No, they'll grab you on the
cheek aggressively like you could. It could be a family memory.
(12:38):
You're like, yo, dude, beat it your butter, your buddy,
uh buddy's uncle Nunzio grabs you by the cheek, Get
over here, get out of here with that.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The only cheek grabs except the booty cheek grabs. Or
if it's Billy Madison telling the kids stay here as
long as you can, that's an okay.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Man to man.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
No knows because Christian Wilkins kissed his teeth. The alleged
story here is he kissed his teammate on the head
like forehead, and.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They're like, yeah, we don't like this guy anymore. Beat
it now.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yes, there's clear issues, and there's clear things that you
would say are assault, punching, spitting, slapping.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But I'll give you one.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I know Cavino hates and Danny this is like more
of a disrespectful amongst your crew type of things.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Have you ever had someone mush you?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They don't hit you like they put their hands like
on your head and push like like they mush you.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That's like because then I would have an HR problem
if they did that to me. Yeah, that's happened.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's one of those like I didn't hit you, but
like someone gets in your face and they get in
your face and they know well enough not to hit you,
slap your punch you, but they give you a little
like they hand on the head, like a little push you. Ay,
that's so again he has hit always being the freaky
What are those no nos to you? I would imagine
that the ones I expressed are pretty universal. Who likes
(13:56):
to be treated that way? Like get your hands off me.
I don't even care if it's out of like endearment,
Like I don't like that. So what are the man
to man?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No? No, you know what, I want to kiss you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I want to kiss you too, freaking me out? Name
if I I thought of another? And it's a power
move that I think we've all been on the receiving
end of. But it's so blatant to me that it
doesn't even work because I'm like, yeah, I see what
you're doing. I see what you're doing here as happy
Gilmot would see, I know what you're doing, and I
don't like it. When did he say that in Happy
(14:31):
Gilmour wont oh remember when he realized Shooter when he
sent him up on the ninth hole in the in
the sprinklers, I know what you're doing. I don't like
it if you see someone give you like an alpha
handshake where they they put their hand on top and
sort of pull you in, like like, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
What does that President Trump does?
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I was also thinking of the backslap, which you did
a Drone Powell the Treasury secondary, like let's lower those
interest rates, huh, like.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Like like stand up for a second comunit, Like it's
it's one of these moves like I'm going over with
a handshake. It's like when you pull someone into you
that's a tough guy. Yeah, it's aggressive and get over here,
beat it. I don't like that when somebody gives you
the dead hand, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's equally as offensive. I'm with you, Danny. So there's
a there's a happy medium, like Rich's.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Shirt size when someone goes to when someone goes to
give me a fist bump, I grab their hands and
I go Hong Kong you know that's.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
A man to man. No, no, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It rubs me the wrong way when people I barely know,
even when people I do know but barely know, and
they like they ask you personal questions about your finances
or how much you paid for the house, Like, dude,
I barely know you. Like maybe a friend of a
friend comes over. Yeah, nice place? Would you pay for it?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Mind your business? How about that? How about that? I
got one?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Sometimes this is okay, but if you don't really know someone,
or they're like you're taller than you and they're kind
of trying to pull some alpha move on you. They
lean on your shoulder. Oh where they're like, they're going
to lean on your shoulder, Like, why am I.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Your support right here? No, don't on me, dude, No, no, no. Yeah.
A lot of these are like you're trying to offa somebody.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
A lot of it's bubble space too, we learned as
little kids, like we all have this bubble around us.
Don't invade that space. So when somebody there's a lot
of room around you and another person they stand right
up next to you.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I don't like that, Like, move back a little get
out of my personal space.
Speaker 2 (16:22):

Halfway to the last swiggy Phil on the board. It's cold,
it's so cool. All right, we move on to round two.
By the way, just a side, not one.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
I don't know, Patrick, if you think this is interesting,
My sister back home in Wisconsin sent me a picture
of her thermometer this past week. He den index of
one oh seven. So imagine the range of one hundred
and fifty degrees from us.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know what, You're gonna have to add me to
that group text, because man, that sounds hot.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Oh man, sounds interesting for sure. That's so the sun
to Alaska right there?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Round two about as hot as our season. So round two?
What was I once quoted saying about taking risks? Hey,
I only take calculated risks, otherwise I'd be intercepted in
every game. B I believe in taking risks and not
worrying about the consequences.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Or see.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I believe the game risk with my good friend Max Crosby.
I played the game risk well my good friend Max
Crosby at the coffee shop this season. What did I
want to say about risk? Life's a risk? Carnalito? What's up, Phil? Yeah, Phil,
I'll go with be Hey, I'll walk off.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Winter swept the board.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Oh mama, Phil, at least for this match of Swiggy's.
It's the last one, and you do the honors. We're
gonna mail it to Washington State for you.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You might have to give this guy, some coozies. Thanks buddy, Hey, thanks,
great job to go Phil later, Phil, all right, guys
letter Patrick was like thirty something days.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah for the regular season, close, close, later, Cavino and
Rich goodbye, good ba Well mama. I uh.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
When he butchered that last question, his voice almost sounded
like Kovine.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I know it's crazy, you know, interestingly enough.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You know, forty eight hours from now, I said, we
have the trade deadline in baseball that first game. Now that,
now that you heard that Trey Lance is going to start,
does anyone else still feel like they want to get
a look at Trey Lance? Like, like, what a guy that?
When they took about the biggest bust of all time?
Whoa about Sally Scuds?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
At what point?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Does what point does Trey Lance get put on that list?
I know everyone has their favorites, but if he never
a bounced to nothing, you got to remember what the
forty nine ers gave up for him at number three.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Oh, that list is crazy of all the picks and
who those picks turned out to be.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, but I mean we love to say the same
biggest bust of all time the JaMarcus Russells.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah, we have the list his was the fattest bust
of all time because of that big payday he got
that was before the rookie contracts.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I just feel like Trey Lance has sort of got
by without a ton of criticists say not a lot
of people talk about it, Yeah, for whatever reason. So hey,
I wish him well man, Jim Harbaugh, you know, you
saw what he did with some young quarterbacks over the year.
So if something ever goes wrong with Justin Herbert Trey
Lance in the wings.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
No, you know, let's go to him buy for an
updates he was going on.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
We probably don't talk about it as much because the
forty nine ers continue to have success where you know,
and then the previous era that Danny mentioned, it would
set franchises back five six years if you mess stuff
that first overall pick.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Because Perdy sort of alleviated all that embarrassment by being great. Yeah,
and he helped Trey Lance probably not feel as much
of a bust, So you're right.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Absolutely, Yes, we do have some news from the NFL Commissioner,
Roger Goodell, sending a memo to all of the league
employees saying that their offices will remain closed through the
end of next week, people can work remotely from home
at this Following the shooting at three forty five Park
Avenue in Manhattan yesterday, that's where the NFL league offices
(24:33):
are located. Four people dead. One NFL employee was wounded
in the shooting. New York City Mayor Eric Adams says
the gunman was targeting the NFL's office, as a three
page note was found on his body as he complained
about the NFL concussions. Also claimed that he believed he
had CTE, so there are tie ins in New York.
(24:55):
Police say they believe that the gunman planned to go
to the NFL offices, but entered the Raw Elevator bank
in doing so. So there's an update on yesterday's tragedy
In New York City. Ravens tun and Isaiah Likely was
injured at the end of practice today rolled his ankle,
and head coach John Harbas says he's expected to miss
a few weeks of action because of that injury. Brown's
corner Martin Emerson Junior, suffered an achilles injury. Reports out
(25:17):
of Cleveland say the team believes that it is a
serious injury. Speaking of the Browns owner Jimmy and de
Haslam met with the media today, answering a variety of questions,
including saying the drafting of Sudor Sanders in the fifth
round was made by their general manager and not ownership.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
We have good process, okay. And if you'd have told
me Friday night driving home you all are going to
pick Shador, I would say that's not happening. But we
had a conversation early that morning, and then we had
a conversation later that day. I think we had the
right people involved in the conversation. At the end of
the day. That's Andrew Berry's call. Andrew made the call
to pick.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Shador Orioles and Jay's about to get underway in game
two of their double header. Baltimore grab game one sixteen
to four. Royal's designated picture chill for assignment, A's rookie
shortstop Jacob Wilson on the injured list with a fractured forearm.
Venus Williams, making a comeback to forty five year old,
will play mixed doubles at the US Open. She still
hopes to get a wildcard entry into the singles event,
(26:13):
and Happy Gilmore too. Had the largest US opening weekend
in Netflix history. Has forty six point seven million views
occurred on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the sequel Guys
Back to You TV.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know what that means?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Writings on the wall, and it says for a good
time called Rich Davis No, and it's it's saying that
if forty six point seven million tuned in to see
Happy Gilmore Too, whether you liked it or not, you're
gonna get Wedding Singer too. You're gonna get maybe water
Boy two, You're gonna get other sequels.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
What happened to Robbie Hart? The world needs tonight?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I had a great premise, and I know the Sandman's
friends with Dan Patrick, so you never know.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Maybe Sandler's listening. What if you do Adam Sandler as
Robbie Hart? Well, I remember medding.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Adam Sandler has that deal with Netflix, so he has
to put out more content.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
This is just too easy, I would.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Sam's cringing because he hates these he hates these quote forced.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Narrative, but there's a market for it. I love Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Don't give me what if Robbie Hart is all grown
up and him and Drew Barrymore Julia, Yeah, she'd be
in on it with Lee. So then what if Glenn
Guglia is their neighbor and Sandler is now his kid
is going to marry like Julia Glen Gulia's kid. And
get this because it was a twenty nineties movie based
(27:31):
in the eighties. If it's a current movie, it could
be based as a time piece in the two thousands,
flip phones, two thousands, everything.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
It's always about the character's kids, though, like, can they
have some other way to do a story?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Julia has an affair with with Glen Gulia and the
villain Wentz. But the fact that that many people tuned
in to watch Happy Gilmour Too shows you they'll tune
in for Wedding Singer too. That's the next one to come, guarantee.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
I bet you no offense. I just want to see
landline one again, Riches Davis. The richest thought of the
kid picks up the phone.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
No, there's some kids fiddling with a landline and he
calls his old phone number like or something as a kid,
and his childhood self picks up like hello, And it's
like a sci fi movie, very much in the vein
of you remember that great Jim cavizl movie frequency. They
have nineteen sixty nine Mets. That was a good one,
great movie. So I feel like here it is Landline and.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
You tell yourself as a little kid, you'll never see
another Mets World Series championship.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But I mean they have Gary Carter and Tell and
Greg Jefferys future star.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You're just speaking of the Mets' I'm glad you said
this because I have a bone to pick with Emil Jimenez.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
This umpire.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Struck out Brandon Neimo on three balls out of the
strike zone, and then we saw the water So strike
out on ball four, and then later in the later
in the game, after Wan Soto gets his manager thrown
out because he puts up a fuss, because let's be honest,
you can hate Sodo, but Cavino, you know, no one
knows the strikes on better than Wan Soto.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Oh no, yeah, he has a great eye.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
And he gets called out on a strike three, I
believe in the eighth inning, and it was sort of disgusting.
It was sort of disgusting how this umpire, Emil Jimenez,
punched out Sodo on a delayed third strike and then
and then looked at him almost with the hopes of
(29:37):
like go ahead, say something. It goes back to the
old saying Rich, the old saying fool me once, shame on,
you don't get fooled again. The best refs, umpires, whatever,
officials of the game. The best refs are the ones
you don't notice. It's like no one's there to see you.
Get out of the way, do your job and beat it.
(29:59):
This guy's made himself the main character. Emil jim Men
has beat it and they focused on his goofy face
for a good portion of the last couple of innings
because they the calls were greecious. It was they want
to close, treat them with this respect. They're doing a job,
but like, it's not about you. He was very dramatic
(30:19):
with his strike three call against Sodo. It was really inappropriate, dramatic.
He was trying to show him up, dramatic on a
terrible call. Yeah it was bad, and then it doesn't
credits him, it really does.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It makes him. Look did you see the stare at Soda?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh I did, yeah, like like almost like taunting him.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
And as far as him having a great eye, Look
look at this stat right here, Rich, you're gonna love
this one. Soda is the first player to have a
twenty five plus home run season with four different teams
before turning twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, I mean it's I mean, listen, love him or
hate him.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Wan Sodo knows the strikes own and he got out
a few times yesterday and it got me thinking. I
read a stat and it said seventy two percent of
Major League Baseball fans are in favor of the ASB system,
the assisted strikes and balls, Right, only ten percent of
fans say they're against it. So seventy two percent say yeah,
(31:14):
seventy two percent of fans yeah, okay. If you talk
about eighteen percent of people who are like yeah, whatever,
only ten percent of Major League Baseball fans are like, yeah,
I'm not for it. They've sampled it in spring training
and they did it at the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
If each team.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Gets, I know, if it was unlimited, it would be absurd. Yeah,
but if each team gets two times a game, and
if they're quick with it, you've seen them, they're quick
with it. If two times a game, a batter could
do the little tap on the helmet and immediately on
the big screen in the stadium, which is what they
say they would do. On the big screen, they show
where the ball is and if the ball strike call
(31:52):
gets overturned. If the team is limited to let's say,
to a game, I guess it could be a key moment.
You could save them. You could use it early in
the game, you could wait later. Who would be opposed
to getting it right? You gotta get it right. Everybody
at home knows what's right what's wrong. It's an easy procedure.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
With football.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Tournaments are more accurate than MLB, and they are because
if you hit that strike so and you know it's
a strike, you gotta get it right in those key moments.
And I was rich, that sounds fine. I love the
human element of baseball and I always will. But I
don't see there being any harm if you want a
crucial play or game determined by that some guy who
(32:31):
has a personal vendetta.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But get out of here. You just took the bat
at of Soto's hand.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
ME tell you it's really hard to call a game.
And I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what it's hurt.
Major League Baseball umpires the fact that every game, much
like the yellow first down line in football, where we
forget that. Oh yeah, the players don't see that. You
ever watch a football play and you're like, oh, he
was so close, and it's like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He doesn't see the yellow line.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
In baseball, that nice faint imaginary box that's on every
game now, the umpires are pretty damn good when you
think that they're calling a game ninety five hundred mile
an hour balls come in there.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
These guys are great.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I'm not taking a dump on the umpires, but I
think a couple times a game in a key moment
when a guy just misses one. There was there was
a play in another game, I forget what it was
where he was as down the middle as a ball
could be and the empires like, well, everyone including the
batter froze.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Like I'm sorry what Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
But you know what's even weaker about it is when
they doubled down on their mistake, Like there was an
umpire recently a Yank game. He even said, like that
one was on me, man, bad call. Yeah, he admitted it.
That was kind of interesting to see. You don't know,
you don't often see that. So hey, your final thoughts
on this? If you if you think baseball should throw
in the challenge next year. I think it's a no brainer.
But before we break, let's go to dB with a
(33:47):
little NFL note. He wanted add, what's up, Dan.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Guys the news just in Trey hendricks some of the
Cincinnati Bengals, does not have a new contract. However, he
is going to report to the team's training camp. He
had been away. This could be Maybe it's a good sign.
It's better than what Bengals fans had seen lately in
good faith. Perhaps yes, exactly, as Hendrickson was not with
the team, also avoids fines if he's back with the team.
(34:11):
But maybe this is a sign that the sides are
closer to a deal as he is expected a.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Report or something like that.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Is it a wild when these guys so casually skip
things that are like people's annual salaries per day.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
That's yeah, insane, just insane.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
So all right, thank you dB and your thoughts on
the Wan Sodo Emil Jimenez storyline last night and should baseball.
You got to watch it, you know, when we take
this break, find the clip. If you haven't seen it, Yeah,
just go to Twitter, look up soda. It's first thing
that pops. You got to watch it and let us
know if you think Baseball should seriously consider adding this
next year. Right, We got more Covin and Rich next
(34:48):
on Fox Sports Radio. Man, I just saw my homes
in the kitchen. He's all fired up. Dude looks ready
for the season. Man, If you missed Showtime Homes Trivia.
If you miss anything, catch Covino and Rich on the
app live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. For over
(35:12):
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the

the way tire buying should be. And coming up on
tomorrow's show, Ye halfway there already, Man, Midweek Major the
biggest stories in sports and pop culture. We decide together
(35:36):
are the mid week or major stories. Here on Covino
and Rich and remember over promised our bonus podcast. The
last two shows were great. We had Zach Brown on
recently and we talked about Hulk Hogan's career. A lot
of mixed emotions there, but we went over his greatest
(35:57):
moments and we talked about the fight game and how
pay per view will be no longer according to Turkey
Ali Chic as far as boxing, that's not over promised.
On Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, for free, you could
watch the show. It's quick, twenty two minute show, but
enjoy it. Thanks again for being part of this, so
that you don't think I'm only talking about my dude,
(36:19):
Wan Soda. I found the play that everyone's talking about.
Bad calls are not just happening to Juan Sota. The
pitcher was Baltimore oriole Zach Efflin, and he was pitching,
and they're saying it might be John Boy, your boy
even got involved in this, that it might be the
worst call ball strike in years. I thought the worst
(36:40):
call was that home run they called foul. Wasn't that
it's foul? He saw that Oh sorry gone. Clement was
at the at the in the batter's box of the
Blue Jays and this this ball was like as middle
as you could get fastball middle, and it was they're
saying worst call. Well you know why though, because the
(37:01):
catcher wasn't positioned properly with that one. But it was
a dead obvious strike. He was the position, he was
set up a little outside so it looked like, yeah,
but it was a perfect strike for sure.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
That's gone viral.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah, people love to complain, it happens all the time,
but that one what want Soda was like drastically obvious
that it was a personal situation. Yeah, it was out
of spite it was. It was clearly not a strike.
It was a blatantly delayed strike three call. And you
can't let that personal element interfere in that way. I
(37:36):
know everybody loves the personal element. So yeah, I think
the ASB system should be incorporated for times like that,
at least twice a game. I don't think there's any question.
I'm part of the seventy two percent that says, hell, yeah,
do it.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Well. I think it would make the better.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It would be hard to argue to a game because again,
these aren't like stop the game, put on the headphones,
going to tent goal, get the monitor. This is a
quick like you saw it in the All Star Game
when Edwin Diaz when the Mets was pitching. Remember, he's
like go to the thing within two within like what
five seconds tops, They're like strike like a matter of time.
If they're doing it in the All Star Game, doing
(38:11):
it preseason. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (38:13):
Yeah, and the fans in the stands at the All
Star Game seem to really enjoy it. Yeah, it's cool.
And I like your idea, Rich of having two. I
think if the team gets both correct, they should get
a third.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, if you get two right, you got to get
both right, you earn a third. But I don't see
why you want to attempt to even do this. It
would be great for baseball, but hey, we talked a
little baseball, We talked some football today. We talked a
little of everything. In fact, we didn't need a chance
to talk NBA. Now, there was a Lebron story that
we were going to try to hit on. Maybe we'll
get to that tomorrow. We'll get to it tomorrow. And
to wrap it up, speaking of MLB, what do you
(38:46):
think about Cal Rowley being the lead candidate now for MVP.
You think Judge can catch him as long as Judge
out ten they say ten days, but he can come
back maybe earlier with a DH spot perhaps. Why why
are we pretending that Aaron Judge still is not batting
like one hundred points time? Yeah, Cara, I mean Aaron
Judge was probably the premier candidate for MVP, but if
(39:08):
he's out cal Rawley, the odds have now gone up.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
For him to win it all. So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, Aaron Judge fatigue. I still think that it's hard
to argue that Aaron Judge is the best player in
Major League Baseball when he's even a little healthy. So, uh,
your thoughts, anything you miss always you can find at
Covine and Rich And we'll see you guys back here
tomorrow on Fox Sports Radio. Like you said, we'll play
midweek Major. We got a lot. We just start giving
away new prizes. We got to figure out what's next
(39:35):

back Briberall. We'll do that, and uh, until then, have
a great Taco Tuesday. Until tomorrow, Riven the Baby, see you.

up our discussion of when's the best time in life,
in life to see your team win at all? Well,
we figured out the best have to go to an amusement. Yeah, early, early,
(01:01):
get the when's the best time to win? We'll discuss.
We'll take your feedback live. Like you said from the
Fox Sports radio studio, speaking of Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
What is what?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Did the new coordinators say that he was like a
work in progress.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Or something still developing?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Developing along those lines thirty two years old today still develops.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
A new head coach said that, oh is that's right
to the head coach.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, yeah, we talked about that, like that's a backhanded compliment,
sort of an insult. Well, it's like almost it's like saying,
like you got so much more to give, but it's
almost insinuating you haven't been giving it right. All right,
So we're gonna wrap this up with your phone calls now.
At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Scott Scheffler
says he'd give a major title up if the Cowboys won.
(01:48):
Got us thinking, when's the best time in life, in
your life to see your team win? Would you be
insulted or find it acceptable? Let's say your girlfriend said
you would you have so much potential if you went
to the gym more.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
She probably does see that. I don't blame her. Fair
all right?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Uh want to go to the phone call, say how
to Nick and Colorado? Nick, when do you think as
a fan is the best time to have your team
win the championship in any sport.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Hey, Rich, you nailed it, man, I was.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
My parents are.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Both from the Cleveland area, so I grew up a
Cleveland sports fan.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Nice hast that pass that curse on to my son
and uh when they won the twenty sixteen title, my
son was thirteen, completely into it.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I of course have been into it for life.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
My dad, unfortunately passed away now was still there. And
to watch that happen with the three generaate just I
don't have.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Any other championships compare it to because of Cleveland, but
it was.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I can't imagine a better one.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
All right, I can't tell you can't top that. You're
right about that. Hops is still around, Tops is still around.
You waited your whole life, and your kid was in
that perfect pocket of you know, those were his heroes.
He's collecting baseball cards and everything else.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's not fair, Nick one that argument.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't want to wait till in my fifties to uh,
to have the Mets win. But if it met, my
son was like old enough to really appreciate it, and
Papa Greg, Papa G was still around. My dad was
still around. Yeah, that would be the pockets. I mean,
you can't beat that story, so I'm not even gonna try. Thanks,
(03:19):
Ni La. Let's say how to Evan Evan as a fan,
when do you want your team to win? I know
the answers all the time, But if you had to
pick your twenties, your forties.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
When you're an old guy, like really old, Like, what's
the answer?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
All right, Hey, guys, long time listeninger. I love you, guys.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Can continue on in the corner.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, Sam's above man in the corner that I freaking like.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
All the girls tell us, tell us when's the best
time to win?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You guys had to them on there the best way
to win, Like it's probably like early, like if you're
going to see it, like I like to see in
my twenties early thuries the World I remember my dad
saw them, saw the Dodgers win right when I was
born around I was born in eighty six, eighty eight.
He always wanted to see us see a title together
and he just missed out. He's killing the car crash,
(04:31):
you know of like ten years before the Dodgers won.
So he always promised me they ever get back to
the World Series, We're going to go, no matter what
the money is. And but he wanted to see them
later in his life too, in it's like sixties and seventies.
But I had one question for rich do you remember
Suburban Commando?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Of course I remember Suburban Commando. The hulks are at
not as fun as I.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Was watching that at five in the morning on tubue
and it was making me crack my butt up, Like
I think you should like watch that with your kids. Dude.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's one of the bait commanda. I'll put that on
the list like a Hogan classic. Rest in peace, Hollywood, hoolks. There,
that phone call is a roller coaster of emotions. Man, jeez,
thank you, buddy. Who else do we go next? Let's
go Jeff in Virginia Jeff. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Hey Jeff, Hey guys, great great show. Thanks being with
you guys, Thanks for taking my call. It's interesting you
bring this up in relation to the Cowboys because I've
been a lifel on Cowboys fan and I actually was
nine years old. That's like my first recollection of really
watching the Cowboys was in nineteen eighty one. I was
nine years old. I remember the catch, right, you two
(05:37):
and the Cowboys losing to San Francisco in the NFC
Championship that was eighty two.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, that's like one of my first sports memories. That's
why I brought that up. When Rich talked about his
World Series. When he was a kid, one of my
first clear memories was my family members freaking out about
Dwight Clark catching it like that, because I just remember
the family reacting to it and like, oh, this is
a big deal. I guess I was like five six
years old, but I remember that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Crying crying, right, And then I suffered through the Danny
White years, right, and then the one in fifteen season,
and I was in college when the Cowboys had their
run in the nineties and it was awesome. Right, you're
such a You're such a huge fan, like when you're
in college of everything, right, sports, and so I thought
(06:24):
that was the best time to see them come back.
And actually, you know, beat San Francisco in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You guys got the best of us more than often.
That was redemption.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
But now now your guy have I'm doing the math.
You got your fifties years old? Is now a time
where you like, now you feel like you really wanted
or not a climate a street light pole at fifty something.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You know, it's it's been so many years of suffering now, right.
It seemed like an eternity when you're a kid, but
now the gap is the drought has been so long.
It's just like I just I just I'm just happy
if they do anything.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Dude, less time, less time.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Uh, the Cowboys won anything like none of us had phones,
none of us had you probably didn't have internet. Thank you, Jeff.
Let's go to Troy in Virginia, be Tritsa buddy, Hey Troy.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, y'all doing.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Not too much.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I'd say our age now because you.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Can afford to go see them if they make it.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I mean, in your twenties.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You kind of ass out.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, that's what Rich was saying.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I feel like right now, you know, if you're
a middle aged professional, if you're forty ish and you
got kids and you got you know, decent money, you
could be like, hey, guess what, son, We're going to
the game. Like that to me is like, that's the dream,
that's the ticket. Yeah, So I think about it.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's going to be I guess different for everybody. Yeah,
if you got kids in they're in that pocket where
it matters. I'm sure that adds the ads to the joy.
So think about it. And man, Scott Scheffler, it's amazing
he's such a winner because he's rooted for such a
loser his whole life. And by the way, for all
the Yankees fans, you could blame Covino. Do you know,
Danny g might not know this. I was saying, the
(08:05):
Covino Yankees curse.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Do you know this?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, it was a pretty good time to win. My daughter,
Melody was born right when the Yankees, it was what.
She was born November two. The Yankees won the World
Series November third, so I was still there in the hospital.
So on back to back days, Cavino became a father
and the Yankees won the World Series in two thousand
and nine, and I said, you had the greatest week ever.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's over now.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I have once said, isn't the curse of Melody my daughter?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
They just have to go get someone pregnant. Yeah, I
gotta break that curse. So, uh, we got to talk
you about this Christian Wilkins story only because what the
headline reads and what the reality is likely two different stories.
This goes back to something that we often like to
point out, there's always the truth and the twist, right,
So it seems like social media, even media here on
(08:57):
the radio, leads with the twist, like the spin, So
there's always the truth in the spin. The spin with
the story is that he was released from Danny's Raiders
because he kissed the teammate on the head. Is that
the truth or the spin? That's the spin. The truth
is he had a foot injury that he failed to
get operated on the Raiders Like all right, dude, this
(09:18):
is the final straw beat it. Yeah, I mean he
didn't rehab properly. In the timeline in which the Raiders
suggested they spent a lot of money, the guy you know,
signed one hundred million dollar deal. Now he's fighting for
that money. The scapegoat story might be like, yeah, he
was rubbing his teammates the wrong way and he kissed
the dude on the head. The spin is always the headline,
and the headline is he kissed the teammate and that's
(09:39):
why he's not on the team.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Well, you see the NFL reporters with their juicy write
ups about this, and then at the end they're like,
but that's not the whole story.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Of course, Yeah, there's more to this.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Christians, please, you need the just Alex Cora just said.
Baseball wasn't there headline with Alex Corr talking about how
baseball analysts a lot of times makeup rumors around the
deadline just because they did juice. Yeah, yeah, that was
a recent story this week. He has a past of
being well, according to his colleagues, sort of a freak.
They say, he's kind of a freaky dude. He's been
(10:12):
pinching cheeks, like cheeks in the in the huddle. He
was known for grabbing opposing players junk and like, you know, aggressively.
When he was in Clemson in the NFL, he was
kissing other players. When he was with the dolphins and everything.
But I'm not saying in like a sexual way, but
in like a freaky way, like in a weird way,
like what's this guy doing, Like I'm gonna get in
(10:33):
your head, right, getting your head type of way.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So he has a history of doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
So when he kissed his teammate and rubbed them the
wrong way, that became the headline. But again this goes
back to his foot but because of his antics, grabbing ass,
playing slab ass. A lot of this is alleged, by
the way, but footage I've seen it, but the headlines
the headline of Wilkins out because you know, kissing a
(10:59):
team at a in the head isn't really the full story.
But with that said, it does pose a question here
because I know your answer. You're man to man. Pet
Peeves or his rich likes to call it the man
to man no knows because I know Krino being that,
being that he's like a prideful like East Coast Italian guy,
(11:22):
half Italian, half Mexican, all the pride this guy has.
When another grown man grabs Cavino's neck with his hand,
like you know when someone goes behind you, like you
know why, because I grew up in New Jersey. There's
something about another guy nuput his arm around you, don't
you get fresh with me?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Almost taking his.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Hand like picture some big fat Italian guy taking his
big meat hook and that's exactly it and put it
on your neck, like hey, you'll get over your guy.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
My uncle used to do that to me and my
brother hate both of us would shake him off.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like I mean, and every big fat Italian guy thinks
they're Tony soprano and they have the right to do
that to you.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And that and that would happen to me a lot
growing up.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Give me, I had a guy, dude, this rich Remember
the story because I remember coming out on the air
in my younger days talking about it with this fat
botch of a loop. Took me by the back of
the necks that give me a kid, and I'm like,
what's up. He's like, you girl, you got over there?
You bet it?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
They gab I'm like, who are you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You smell like sausage. Get out of my face. You
got gobba gol on your cheek. And he was grabbed
me by the back of the neck like you gotta
they gave a kid, you understand. Look at me, you like,
get out of here, Vinnie Pastor And it's that and
you know what else they do too, and it's another
man to man. No, No, they'll grab you on the
cheek aggressively like you could. It could be a family memory.
(12:38):
You're like, yo, dude, beat it your butter, your buddy,
uh buddy's uncle Nunzio grabs you by the cheek, Get
over here, get out of here with that.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The only cheek grabs except the booty cheek grabs. Or
if it's Billy Madison telling the kids stay here as
long as you can, that's an okay.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Man to man.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
No knows because Christian Wilkins kissed his teeth. The alleged
story here is he kissed his teammate on the head
like forehead, and.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They're like, yeah, we don't like this guy anymore. Beat
it now.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yes, there's clear issues, and there's clear things that you
would say are assault, punching, spitting, slapping.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But I'll give you one.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I know Cavino hates and Danny this is like more
of a disrespectful amongst your crew type of things.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Have you ever had someone mush you?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They don't hit you like they put their hands like
on your head and push like like they mush you.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That's like because then I would have an HR problem
if they did that to me. Yeah, that's happened.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's one of those like I didn't hit you, but
like someone gets in your face and they get in
your face and they know well enough not to hit you,
slap your punch you, but they give you a little
like they hand on the head, like a little push you. Ay,
that's so again he has hit always being the freaky
What are those no nos to you? I would imagine
that the ones I expressed are pretty universal. Who likes
(13:56):
to be treated that way? Like get your hands off me.
I don't even care if it's out of like endearment,
Like I don't like that. So what are the man
to man?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No? No, you know what, I want to kiss you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I want to kiss you too, freaking me out? Name
if I I thought of another? And it's a power
move that I think we've all been on the receiving
end of. But it's so blatant to me that it
doesn't even work because I'm like, yeah, I see what
you're doing. I see what you're doing here as happy
Gilmot would see, I know what you're doing, and I
don't like it. When did he say that in Happy
(14:31):
Gilmour wont oh remember when he realized Shooter when he
sent him up on the ninth hole in the in
the sprinklers, I know what you're doing. I don't like
it if you see someone give you like an alpha
handshake where they they put their hand on top and
sort of pull you in, like like, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
What does that President Trump does?
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I was also thinking of the backslap, which you did
a Drone Powell the Treasury secondary, like let's lower those
interest rates, huh, like.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Like like stand up for a second comunit, Like it's
it's one of these moves like I'm going over with
a handshake. It's like when you pull someone into you
that's a tough guy. Yeah, it's aggressive and get over here,
beat it. I don't like that when somebody gives you
the dead hand, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's equally as offensive. I'm with you, Danny. So there's
a there's a happy medium, like Rich's.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Shirt size when someone goes to when someone goes to
give me a fist bump, I grab their hands and
I go Hong Kong you know that's.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
A man to man. No, no, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It rubs me the wrong way when people I barely know,
even when people I do know but barely know, and
they like they ask you personal questions about your finances
or how much you paid for the house, Like, dude,
I barely know you. Like maybe a friend of a
friend comes over. Yeah, nice place? Would you pay for it?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Mind your business? How about that? How about that? I
got one?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Sometimes this is okay, but if you don't really know someone,
or they're like you're taller than you and they're kind
of trying to pull some alpha move on you. They
lean on your shoulder. Oh where they're like, they're going
to lean on your shoulder, Like, why am I.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Your support right here? No, don't on me, dude, No, no, no. Yeah.
A lot of these are like you're trying to offa somebody.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
A lot of it's bubble space too, we learned as
little kids, like we all have this bubble around us.
Don't invade that space. So when somebody there's a lot
of room around you and another person they stand right
up next to you.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I don't like that, Like, move back a little get
out of my personal space.
Speaker 2 (16:22):

Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Round two about as hot as our season. So round two?
What was I once quoted saying about taking risks? Hey,
I only take calculated risks, otherwise I'd be intercepted in
every game. B I believe in taking risks and not
worrying about the consequences.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Or see.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I believe the game risk with my good friend Max Crosby.
I played the game risk well my good friend Max
Crosby at the coffee shop this season. What did I
want to say about risk? Life's a risk? Carnalito? What's up, Phil? Yeah, Phil,
I'll go with be Hey, I'll walk off.
Speaker 1 (21:54):

letter Patrick was like thirty something days.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah for the regular season, close, close, later, Cavino and
Rich goodbye, good ba Well mama. I uh.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
When he butchered that last question, his voice almost sounded
like Kovine.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I know it's crazy, you know, interestingly enough.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You know, forty eight hours from now, I said, we
have the trade deadline in baseball that first game. Now that,
now that you heard that Trey Lance is going to start,
does anyone else still feel like they want to get
a look at Trey Lance? Like, like, what a guy that?
When they took about the biggest bust of all time?
Whoa about Sally Scuds?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
At what point?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Does what point does Trey Lance get put on that list?
I know everyone has their favorites, but if he never
a bounced to nothing, you got to remember what the
forty nine ers gave up for him at number three.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Oh, that list is crazy of all the picks and
who those picks turned out to be.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, but I mean we love to say the same
biggest bust of all time the JaMarcus Russells.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah, we have the list his was the fattest bust
of all time because of that big payday he got
that was before the rookie contracts.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I just feel like Trey Lance has sort of got
by without a ton of criticists say not a lot
of people talk about it, Yeah, for whatever reason. So hey,
I wish him well man, Jim Harbaugh, you know, you
saw what he did with some young quarterbacks over the year.
So if something ever goes wrong with Justin Herbert Trey
Lance in the wings.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
No, you know, let's go to him buy for an
updates he was going on.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
We probably don't talk about it as much because the
forty nine ers continue to have success where you know,
and then the previous era that Danny mentioned, it would
set franchises back five six years if you mess stuff
that first overall pick.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Because Perdy sort of alleviated all that embarrassment by being great. Yeah,
and he helped Trey Lance probably not feel as much
of a bust, So you're right.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Absolutely, Yes, we do have some news from the NFL Commissioner,
Roger Goodell, sending a memo to all of the league
employees saying that their offices will remain closed through the
end of next week, people can work remotely from home
at this Following the shooting at three forty five Park
Avenue in Manhattan yesterday, that's where the NFL league offices
(24:33):
are located. Four people dead. One NFL employee was wounded
in the shooting. New York City Mayor Eric Adams says
the gunman was targeting the NFL's office, as a three
page note was found on his body as he complained
about the NFL concussions. Also claimed that he believed he
had CTE, so there are tie ins in New York.
(24:55):
Police say they believe that the gunman planned to go
to the NFL offices, but entered the Raw Elevator bank
in doing so. So there's an update on yesterday's tragedy
In New York City. Ravens tun and Isaiah Likely was
injured at the end of practice today rolled his ankle,
and head coach John Harbas says he's expected to miss
a few weeks of action because of that injury. Brown's
corner Martin Emerson Junior, suffered an achilles injury. Reports out
(25:17):
of Cleveland say the team believes that it is a
serious injury. Speaking of the Browns owner Jimmy and de
Haslam met with the media today, answering a variety of questions,
including saying the drafting of Sudor Sanders in the fifth
round was made by their general manager and not ownership.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
We have good process, okay. And if you'd have told
me Friday night driving home you all are going to
pick Shador, I would say that's not happening. But we
had a conversation early that morning, and then we had
a conversation later that day. I think we had the
right people involved in the conversation. At the end of
the day. That's Andrew Berry's call. Andrew made the call
to pick.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Shador Orioles and Jay's about to get underway in game
two of their double header. Baltimore grab game one sixteen
to four. Royal's designated picture chill for assignment, A's rookie
shortstop Jacob Wilson on the injured list with a fractured forearm.
Venus Williams, making a comeback to forty five year old,
will play mixed doubles at the US Open. She still
hopes to get a wildcard entry into the singles event,
(26:13):
and Happy Gilmore too. Had the largest US opening weekend
in Netflix history. Has forty six point seven million views
occurred on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the sequel Guys
Back to You TV.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know what that means?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Writings on the wall, and it says for a good
time called Rich Davis No, and it's it's saying that
if forty six point seven million tuned in to see
Happy Gilmore Too, whether you liked it or not, you're
gonna get Wedding Singer too. You're gonna get maybe water
Boy two, You're gonna get other sequels.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
What happened to Robbie Hart? The world needs tonight?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I had a great premise, and I know the Sandman's
friends with Dan Patrick, so you never know.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Maybe Sandler's listening. What if you do Adam Sandler as
Robbie Hart? Well, I remember medding.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Adam Sandler has that deal with Netflix, so he has
to put out more content.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
This is just too easy, I would.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Sam's cringing because he hates these he hates these quote forced.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Narrative, but there's a market for it. I love Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Don't give me what if Robbie Hart is all grown
up and him and Drew Barrymore Julia, Yeah, she'd be
in on it with Lee. So then what if Glenn
Guglia is their neighbor and Sandler is now his kid
is going to marry like Julia Glen Gulia's kid. And
get this because it was a twenty nineties movie based
(27:31):
in the eighties. If it's a current movie, it could
be based as a time piece in the two thousands,
flip phones, two thousands, everything.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
It's always about the character's kids, though, like, can they
have some other way to do a story?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Julia has an affair with with Glen Gulia and the
villain Wentz. But the fact that that many people tuned
in to watch Happy Gilmour Too shows you they'll tune
in for Wedding Singer too. That's the next one to come, guarantee.
Speaker 8 (27:59):
I bet you no offense. I just want to see
landline one again, Riches Davis. The richest thought of the
kid picks up the phone.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
No, there's some kids fiddling with a landline and he
calls his old phone number like or something as a kid,
and his childhood self picks up like hello, And it's
like a sci fi movie, very much in the vein
of you remember that great Jim cavizl movie frequency. They
have nineteen sixty nine Mets. That was a good one,
great movie. So I feel like here it is Landline and.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
You tell yourself as a little kid, you'll never see
another Mets World Series championship.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But I mean they have Gary Carter and Tell and
Greg Jefferys future star.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You're just speaking of the Mets' I'm glad you said
this because I have a bone to pick with Emil Jimenez.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
This umpire.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Struck out Brandon Neimo on three balls out of the
strike zone, and then we saw the water So strike
out on ball four, and then later in the later
in the game, after Wan Soto gets his manager thrown
out because he puts up a fuss, because let's be honest,
you can hate Sodo, but Cavino, you know, no one
knows the strikes on better than Wan Soto.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Oh no, yeah, he has a great eye.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
And he gets called out on a strike three, I
believe in the eighth inning, and it was sort of disgusting.
It was sort of disgusting how this umpire, Emil Jimenez,
punched out Sodo on a delayed third strike and then
and then looked at him almost with the hopes of
(29:37):
like go ahead, say something. It goes back to the
old saying Rich, the old saying fool me once, shame on,
you don't get fooled again. The best refs, umpires, whatever,
officials of the game. The best refs are the ones
you don't notice. It's like no one's there to see you.
Get out of the way, do your job and beat it.
(29:59):
This guy's made himself the main character. Emil jim Men
has beat it and they focused on his goofy face
for a good portion of the last couple of innings
because they the calls were greecious. It was they want
to close, treat them with this respect. They're doing a job,
but like, it's not about you. He was very dramatic
(30:19):
with his strike three call against Sodo. It was really inappropriate, dramatic.
He was trying to show him up, dramatic on a
terrible call. Yeah it was bad, and then it doesn't
credits him, it really does.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It makes him. Look did you see the stare at Soda?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh I did, yeah, like like almost like taunting him.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
And as far as him having a great eye, Look
look at this stat right here, Rich, you're gonna love
this one. Soda is the first player to have a
twenty five plus home run season with four different teams
before turning twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, I mean it's I mean, listen, love him or
hate him.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Wan Sodo knows the strikes own and he got out
a few times yesterday and it got me thinking. I
read a stat and it said seventy two percent of
Major League Baseball fans are in favor of the ASB system,
the assisted strikes and balls, Right, only ten percent of
fans say they're against it. So seventy two percent say yeah,
(31:14):
seventy two percent of fans yeah, okay. If you talk
about eighteen percent of people who are like yeah, whatever,
only ten percent of Major League Baseball fans are like, yeah,
I'm not for it. They've sampled it in spring training
and they did it at the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
If each team.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Gets, I know, if it was unlimited, it would be absurd. Yeah,
but if each team gets two times a game, and
if they're quick with it, you've seen them, they're quick
with it. If two times a game, a batter could
do the little tap on the helmet and immediately on
the big screen in the stadium, which is what they
say they would do. On the big screen, they show
where the ball is and if the ball strike call
(31:52):
gets overturned. If the team is limited to let's say,
to a game, I guess it could be a key moment.
You could save them. You could use it early in
the game, you could wait later. Who would be opposed
to getting it right? You gotta get it right. Everybody
at home knows what's right what's wrong. It's an easy procedure.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
With football.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Tournaments are more accurate than MLB, and they are because
if you hit that strike so and you know it's
a strike, you gotta get it right in those key moments.
And I was rich, that sounds fine. I love the
human element of baseball and I always will. But I
don't see there being any harm if you want a
crucial play or game determined by that some guy who
(32:31):
has a personal vendetta.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But get out of here. You just took the bat
at of Soto's hand.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
ME tell you it's really hard to call a game.
And I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what it's hurt.
Major League Baseball umpires the fact that every game, much
like the yellow first down line in football, where we
forget that. Oh yeah, the players don't see that. You
ever watch a football play and you're like, oh, he
was so close, and it's like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He doesn't see the yellow line.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
In baseball, that nice faint imaginary box that's on every
game now, the umpires are pretty damn good when you
think that they're calling a game ninety five hundred mile
an hour balls come in there.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
These guys are great.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I'm not taking a dump on the umpires, but I
think a couple times a game in a key moment
when a guy just misses one. There was there was
a play in another game, I forget what it was
where he was as down the middle as a ball
could be and the empires like, well, everyone including the
batter froze.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Like I'm sorry what Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
But you know what's even weaker about it is when
they doubled down on their mistake, Like there was an
umpire recently a Yank game. He even said, like that
one was on me, man, bad call. Yeah, he admitted it.
That was kind of interesting to see. You don't know,
you don't often see that. So hey, your final thoughts
on this? If you if you think baseball should throw
in the challenge next year. I think it's a no brainer.
But before we break, let's go to dB with a
(33:47):
little NFL note. He wanted add, what's up, Dan.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Guys the news just in Trey hendricks some of the
Cincinnati Bengals, does not have a new contract. However, he
is going to report to the team's training camp. He
had been away. This could be Maybe it's a good sign.
It's better than what Bengals fans had seen lately in
good faith. Perhaps yes, exactly, as Hendrickson was not with
the team, also avoids fines if he's back with the team.
(34:11):
But maybe this is a sign that the sides are
closer to a deal as he is expected a.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Report or something like that.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Is it a wild when these guys so casually skip
things that are like people's annual salaries per day.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
That's yeah, insane, just insane.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
So all right, thank you dB and your thoughts on
the Wan Sodo Emil Jimenez storyline last night and should baseball.
You got to watch it, you know, when we take
this break, find the clip. If you haven't seen it, Yeah,
just go to Twitter, look up soda. It's first thing
that pops. You got to watch it and let us
know if you think Baseball should seriously consider adding this
next year. Right, We got more Covin and Rich next
(34:48):

tomorrow's show, Ye halfway there already, Man, Midweek Major the
biggest stories in sports and pop culture. We decide together
(35:36):
are the mid week or major stories. Here on Covino
and Rich and remember over promised our bonus podcast. The
last two shows were great. We had Zach Brown on
recently and we talked about Hulk Hogan's career. A lot
of mixed emotions there, but we went over his greatest
(35:57):
moments and we talked about the fight game and how
pay per view will be no longer according to Turkey
Ali Chic as far as boxing, that's not over promised.
On Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, for free, you could
watch the show. It's quick, twenty two minute show, but
enjoy it. Thanks again for being part of this, so
that you don't think I'm only talking about my dude,
(36:19):
Wan Soda. I found the play that everyone's talking about.
Bad calls are not just happening to Juan Sota. The
pitcher was Baltimore oriole Zach Efflin, and he was pitching,
and they're saying it might be John Boy, your boy
even got involved in this, that it might be the
worst call ball strike in years. I thought the worst
(36:40):
call was that home run they called foul. Wasn't that
it's foul? He saw that Oh sorry gone. Clement was
at the at the in the batter's box of the
Blue Jays and this this ball was like as middle
as you could get fastball middle, and it was they're
saying worst call. Well you know why though, because the
(37:01):
catcher wasn't positioned properly with that one. But it was
a dead obvious strike. He was the position, he was
set up a little outside so it looked like, yeah,
but it was a perfect strike for sure.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
That's gone viral.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah, people love to complain, it happens all the time,
but that one what want Soda was like drastically obvious
that it was a personal situation. Yeah, it was out
of spite it was. It was clearly not a strike.
It was a blatantly delayed strike three call. And you
can't let that personal element interfere in that way. I
(37:36):
know everybody loves the personal element. So yeah, I think
the ASB system should be incorporated for times like that,
at least twice a game. I don't think there's any question.
I'm part of the seventy two percent that says, hell, yeah,
do it.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Well. I think it would make the better.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It would be hard to argue to a game because again,
these aren't like stop the game, put on the headphones,
going to tent goal, get the monitor. This is a
quick like you saw it in the All Star Game
when Edwin Diaz when the Mets was pitching. Remember, he's
like go to the thing within two within like what
five seconds tops, They're like strike like a matter of time.
If they're doing it in the All Star Game, doing
(38:11):
it preseason. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (38:13):
Yeah, and the fans in the stands at the All
Star Game seem to really enjoy it. Yeah, it's cool.
And I like your idea, Rich of having two. I
think if the team gets both correct, they should get
a third.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, if you get two right, you got to get
both right, you earn a third. But I don't see
why you want to attempt to even do this. It
would be great for baseball, but hey, we talked a
little baseball, We talked some football today. We talked a
little of everything. In fact, we didn't need a chance
to talk NBA. Now, there was a Lebron story that
we were going to try to hit on. Maybe we'll
get to that tomorrow. We'll get to it tomorrow. And
to wrap it up, speaking of MLB, what do you
(38:46):
think about Cal Rowley being the lead candidate now for MVP.
You think Judge can catch him as long as Judge
out ten they say ten days, but he can come
back maybe earlier with a DH spot perhaps. Why why
are we pretending that Aaron Judge still is not batting
like one hundred points time? Yeah, Cara, I mean Aaron
Judge was probably the premier candidate for MVP, but if
(39:08):
he's out cal Rawley, the odds have now gone up.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
For him to win it all. So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, Aaron Judge fatigue. I still think that it's hard
to argue that Aaron Judge is the best player in
Major League Baseball when he's even a little healthy. So, uh,
your thoughts, anything you miss always you can find at
Covine and Rich And we'll see you guys back here
tomorrow on Fox Sports Radio. Like you said, we'll play
midweek Major. We got a lot. We just start giving
away new prizes. We got to figure out what's next
(39:35):
now that we've lost all the Yeah, we're gonna bring
back Briberall. We'll do that, and uh, until then, have
a great Taco Tuesday. Until tomorrow, Riven the Baby, see you.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
In the Promised Land. Goodbye, have a great one.
