I'm gonna call up the YouTube chaff and say, how
to you guys, YouTube dot com slash at Covin on
rich FSR. Back to Kavino. He's the type of guy
on vacation that really does activity. He's like I saw
(01:24):
him crocheting something with his girlfriend. He's the guy that
does all the activities of the resorts. Offers macro Ma.
He's macro may. I don't know what big difference.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
My grandma would be hyped Danny if the result she
had crochet needles all over there right apart, very soothing.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think I feel like Kavino's girlfriend, as we know
because we play the game, is a Kavino or Belichick.
Cavino has a younger girlfriend named Jordan, who's in her
early thirties. She pulls him into all these activities like
let's go, you know, let's go play archery, let's go
you know, boarding and stuff. He does these things so
(02:04):
out of his comfort zone. So I'm sure we'll hear
some stories tomorrow. Kevino will be back, but right now
I want to continue my deep thought, and then we
are going to play will Rich's mom. No, we're gonna
give away some Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio, Nerve Football's.
I texted my mom, I said, be ready in fifteen minutes.
We're going to give you a call. We're simply gonna
give my mom basic sports and entertainment questions. And it's
(02:29):
really like, do our boomer parents know these answers? We'll
do that coming up, all right, But my thought about
Tyreek Hill. When you see all these guys baseball, football, basketball,
whether it's Kevin Durant or Nick Bosa, Tyreek Hill, all
(02:51):
the Tommy John surgeries in baseball ACL's achilles, it might
sound like a stone ear. I promise you I didn't
just take a bong rip like it's college days. I
really think, man, that perhaps have we physically outgrown the
(03:13):
nature in which these sports were designed to be played,
Because in the sixties, seventies, eighties, kind of like we
watch old highlights, and these guys were in shape, but
they were like they had like dad bods. They weren't
as big.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They all looked like Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
They all looked like Clayton Kershaw's man boobs. They all,
you know, like Ozzie Smith was just like a skinny,
slender athletic shortstop, you know. Joe Montana. Joe Montana had
like my muscle mass. Like these guys were just athletic dudes.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
There were men.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They had like dad strength.
They had like you know, like your your grandpappy would
they have the ability to like lift stuff and you're like, yeah, Grandpa,
you never worked out, why are you so strong? I
feel like athletes had that type of physique. Guys got injured,
but not the way they do now. And is it
because when you add size, strength, speed, athleticism, the ability
(04:13):
to jump in ways that guys couldn't back in the day,
Like we talk about all these like, hey, what if
someone of this generation played this generation? I promise you
everyone now would whoop anyone else in another generation. I
don't care what anyone says, they would whoop their ass completely,
without a doubt, the most doodoo NBA team would beat
(04:34):
the best NBA team thirty forty years ago, just based
on size, strength, ability, baseball guys back in the day,
we're throwing what low nineties tops and they had what
two pitches. Guys now are throwing five different pitches and
you could tell by how the fatigue they can't do
it for more than five or six innings. So my
(04:55):
question is, are we just two big, wrong and fast.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And not flexible enough?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Two? Well, we are flexible, but is our body not
designed for the speed, strength and size of how you
get hit today, how fast you throw today?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But don't we always hear that when you add the
muscle mass you lose some flexibility.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That is true, but I just think about it, Danny
g like, not necessarily, but yes, there I feel like
there's something to be said about what I'm saying where
there's so many injuries to elite athletes. But is that
maybe because when you throw one hundred and two miles
an hour, you break one hundred. Every guy's got guys
(05:39):
that could throw a hundred now and they've been doing
it since they're teenagers. And wide receivers are running faster
and jumping higher than they ever have, and guys that
are hitting them even though you can't hit helmet to
helm anymore, they're just bigger. Is there anything to this thought,
Damn buyer.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I think that there is something to it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I don't know is to jump off point the Neighbor's injury,
because I think that is separate from say pitchers in
baseball not being able to get a grip and throwing
out their elbow because of the amount of for how
hard they throw in what they're trying to do with
a baseball. Maybe there's maybe there's some similarities with that.
(06:19):
I do think at some point that the physical nature
of all of these athletes has gotten to a level
where maybe we had never seen before. But like Malik
Neighbors tearing out his knee, I just think is we
just thought that fake AstroTurf in this fake grass stuff
was going to be sufficient. And it's back where we
started in the mid to late eighties when we started
(06:41):
to take that turn away from astro turf, when it
started to get so bad.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now. Cavino, as you know, is a big boxing guy,
and he loves to point out that, you know, we've
got stronger and bigger, and physiques are more impressive. Your brain,
the human brain hasn't changed. Yes, you know, let's get
to this, so guys, you get hit now, it's different
(07:08):
than getting hit in different generations. I feel that everyone's
bigger and stronger, and it's unbelievable to think that people
don't talk about this. More like, again, look at all
your baseball pitchers. These guys are ripped. They're throwing one
hundred miles an hour. Mechanically, they're probably you would argue, oh,
they're probably more mechanically sound than ever before. They know
(07:30):
every angle. There's no more old school like Satchel Page
wind up. They realize, well, that's not the way you're
gonna get momentum. There's pitching coaches for kids. My kid
is five, Sam, he plays pony ball. Not the next
step above Shetland is when they don't do the coach
pitch and the t ball pinto the kids are pitching,
(07:51):
and the best ones have pitching coaches at seven or
eight years old. That's the kids sports world specialization. The
kids sports world filters then into travel ball colleges and
the pros. And I just feel like there's something about
almost like we've overtrained. We're too strong, we're too fast,
(08:12):
we're too everything, and it leaves us so susceptible to
just getting injured all the time.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I think you look at players like football from the
nineteen twenties or like its inception all the way to
the fifties. Guys weren't weight training, and they were playing
a lot of times both ways, so they were like
out of weight. They weren't all bulked up specializing in
one position. I feel like football players who played in
that era, they a lot of them just lived like long,
normal lives. Like Johnny Lujack played way back in the day.
(08:39):
He died a couple of years ago at the age
of ninety eight, and he played football for a long time.
And I think guys today, a lot of football players,
maybe they played in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, they
might be dying in their fifties, sixties, seventies because they
just take so much abuse over the course of their life.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm just saying, like like a wide receiver, now correct
me if I'm wrong. I could be completely wrong. I
don't think though. I don't think that though. When we
were kids. If you're kid of the eighties and nineties,
Andre Reid, Michael Irvin, Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Mark Duper,
Mark Clayton, like you know Chris Carter. Yeah, they got
banged up. But you name every team in the NFL,
(09:15):
and I could almost feel like you could tell me
how they've missed a year or half a year because
of some legitimate major injury. It is wild to me.
It used to be the anomaly when when a running
back would have some crazy knee injury. Now it's everyone,
and it's like, hey, we'll see you next year because
medicine is so great. But guys are being torn apart,
(09:36):
and I want to take your feedback.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I think guys are asked to do more from you know,
certain aspects if you're I don't know why. I feel
that quarterbacks were only suffering maybe a knee injury here there, or.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Like a like if Joe Montana got smushed, Yeah, a.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Shoulder, you know, graphic and gruesome that as that injury was. Like,
those were the type of injuries. Now with guys being
more mobile and moving around and doing those things. I
don't know, I don't know. I don't know if there's
scientific data that has that information. But I do think
that you are doing more so you are more susceptible
(10:18):
to certain types of injuries.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, quarterbacks just.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Run are more mobile and run more than they did,
you know, thirty forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
The routes, receivers are running the crossover dribbles and quick movements.
These NBA players are making the one hundred and two
mile an hour fastballs, pitchers are throwing. There just seems
to be so much more stress on the body because
we're demanding more that everyone just can't and don't give
(10:46):
me this, bs it. Guys are just tougher back in
the day. No guys ruppering his achilles or you know,
acl injury and just keep playing. Don't tell me guys
are so tough that they played a season you know,
terribly injured. Well it wasn't. Don't give me that bs Yes, dandy,
Oh that was me. Oh what's up? Sam?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I just think Also, guys in the last forty years
are you know, eating more protein. They're just bigger, they're stronger,
and yeah, like you said, our skull and our brain
are the same, but they're getting hit and it's more
like a collision than it was in the past than
it does more damage to the body, like offensive linemen
in the fifties, or like in the two hundred and
two hundred and fifty pound range.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Now they're over three hundred pounds.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
So in the in the game of football, and I
don't know if this is like this in any other sport.
I don't think that there is, because I think football
is so unique. I think that football was has just
gotten more complex, got more complicated throughout the years. Yes,
it's not just hand off to the running back, throw
the ball to the tight end or wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So there are.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
There are schemes that cuts the athleticism everything, But the
athleticism is the word, right, because all all this, everything
I'm saying cross sports comes down to the athleticism that's
needed to play in today's professional sports world.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yes, And I think forty years ago and I just
used that as an example, I don't know how many
times we were talking about ambulance balls and I'm talking
about the throws that the quarterbacks make where their wide
receiver is going to get killed. And someone like Jack
Tatum in the nineteen seventies and Danny's Raiders made a
living off of that, right, crushing a wide receiver wide
(12:23):
receiver on a slant. Now that's kind of been eliminated.
Teams aren't doing that as much anymore. So, someone may say, well,
they look at what Jack Tatum did to these guys
in the nineteen seventies. With all that being said, I
do think NFL teams now are so deep in trying
to find any edge that they can get that they
push those lines to maybe you end up putting guys
(12:45):
in tough spots because you're trying to get any advantage
that you can get.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's amazing when you always hear it. At the combine.
They'll be like, man, this guy's three hundreds of then
pounds and he runs a whatever forty and you're like, wow,
you know, my dude, big Trent Williams and the Niners
just seems like, how can he be that big and
strong and that agile? And I heard o'givem props. I
think it was Nick Right or Brew who used to
(13:10):
do Brusard, who used to do odd couple. On FS one,
they were talking about how for the Ravens, can the
Ravens whether this Lamar might be injured storm and it's
like they were talking about, how have you load up
that line, fall back and get all these all these
guys who were named it are all six three six four,
three hundred pounds full back. You know the size of
(13:33):
Derrick Henry, and you're thinking, like, these guys are just
they should not be that fast and agile for their size.
It's it doesn't make sense to me. Let's go to
Nick and Alabama. You're on with coven On Rich. What's up, Bud.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
I appreciate each guys taking my call.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Man, I didn't think I really didn't think you'd take it.
I listen to you guys all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I love you. Thanks for.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Listen, guys. I think you're missing the boat.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Oh, let's hear it.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Look, I mean I played I played sports, and I
quit college football because my coach, God bless them, Gary Barnett,
wanted me to take steroids. And that was back in
nineteen eighty two. But I was a cop for thirty
six years, and I've seen people destroy.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Themselves because they take body enhancing drugs, whether it be testosterone,
dianabol testosterone, hgh whatever. Here's the problem. There's the part
that nobody wants to talk about. When you grow the
muscle so fast, the tendons don't grow. You have to understand,
(14:40):
like you can have the biggest quad in the whole world,
but the tendons that are around it. The steroids don't
make those grow like that.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So whether it's illegal or illegal enhancements or supplements, you're
saying that our body's not designed for that, like our
buddy Mauser and hit us up in and said he goes.
It's interesting because all these injuries happen. Yet we could
all agree that equipment in all sports has gotten safer. Helmets, padding, baseball, basketball, compression.
(15:11):
This that like the equipment and everything that the pictures
don't throw complete games any longer. Yeah, pictures so well,
they average five six innings, so it's a very different game.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Rules have been changed to make the game. A lot
of games safer, Like my friend's father was a center
for IOW in the early nineteen seventies and they're terrible,
and you were allowed back and then to like when
the center was snapping the ball, you could push the
center's like face down into the dirt, like you could
just like pile drive him and he and my friend's
dad he's passed away now. He he had nerve damage
(15:43):
in his shoulders and neck and he developed Parkinson's later
in life. You wonder if maybe the rule changes help people,
but they have too much weight on their frame and
like our collar mentioned the tendons issue.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, Bob in Texas, you're all with Kevin on retch.
What's up, Bob?
Speaker 8 (15:57):
I think when you compare generations, it's like find China
against Stoneware. And the players today have been more specialized
and they play less sports when they're younger and everybody's
a pitcher for the rest of their life or they're
a receiver for the rest of their life, and they
don't get they're not as much all around athletes and
(16:17):
well rounded and maybe not choosing the right sport. But
if you look at some of the players today, they
could not play in the seventies because they couldn't throw
a complete game.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, but they're bigger and stronger. They just don't have me.
I don't know that they're just it just it makes
no sense because if the guys are bigger, faster, stronger,
and more agile, how are they also more fragile. That
just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
There's also there's muscles, and then there's joints, and it
seems like a lot of these issues are happening around
the joint, and you know there's the hamstring strange obviously,
but like at the so the joints aren't being strengthened
it And I'm reading a couple of things and checking
out AI and seeing all the all these different sort
of effects that are having on it, and a lot
(17:06):
of it is players are training for explosiveness, not for
joint stability. Different to protect quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Like we said, that's a great answer, that's already a
great answer. Yeah, the the fic is on are you
are you an explosive off the off the snap, but
the explosiveness versus like you said, stability joints stability.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Yeah, yeah, like you know, locking in a knee versus
just like getting a good explosive jump. Protecting certain players
in the way that the routes are designed to protect
those players are creating more awkward collisions. So that's creating
more awkward injuries.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
What was what was the jumping off pointr.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Tyree Hill and neighbors. You could say, well, all the
all the guys. It seems like every year or so,
multiple elite guys. Den I'm just saying every year, multiple
elite guys are out. And I just feel like when
we were kids, and I'm not doing the oh back
in the day because I don't think those guys are
certainly not stronger, are better, and not tougher. It just
there's something to be said about like these guys are
so big and so strong and so fast, yet they're
(18:06):
also fragile.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, yeah, and that's why, like I think, like Tyreek's
situation last night is different than Malik Neighbors. Tyreek's injury
came on grass, like as we're talking about, like a
like a playing surface sort of thing. I think Melik
neighbors injury is directly related to the playing surface that
he played on, which is different to what we are
you know, to what we are talking about.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
And you know what is a huge part of strength,
conditioning and muscle building and all that is recovery time.
And if you're constantly playing, if you're constantly training, if
you're constantly you know, conditioning, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Drew Rosenhaus told me, Tyreek's gonna be ready for a
week exactly.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Like if you're not giving yourself, like you know, I
roll my ankle, I'm out out of the gym for
two weeks. It's like you got to give yourself that
proper time, and they are not allowed that proper time
to let things set in and strengthen properly before going
out and active.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, I appreciate you guys letting me he's a great time.
I'm glad I appreciate you guys let me before you know,
I was gonna say, I'm glad you guys let me
air out this thought because I do feel like we
don't talk about it enough and I hate the old
and I'm glad we didn't go back in the day
people were tougher, because that's not where I was going.
I was just going that everyone's bigger, stronger, and better. Now,
(19:21):
why are we so hurt? I don't remember when you
were a kid in the eighties or nineties, an NFL
season or an MLB season didn't go by where multiple
ace pitchers or quarterbacks or wide receivers were all out
with like big acl Achilles, Tommy John. It just wasn't
a thing.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I'll tell I'll tell you this.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Just saw John Carlo Stanton grounded into an inning ending
double play.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh, they could have threw that ball to the center
fielder and then first base, he still would have been out.
That guy slow as hell. Yeah, look, but they threw
that ball at first base. He was halfway down the line.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
But also if you were to talk about who was
the maybe best fit, who's the best in shape baseball player?
And John Carlo, Yeah, who's always hurt? John Carla the
best example of a guy that with his shirt off.
Do you tell your wife, Hey, I'm here, sweetheart, listen ill, hey,
honey money not to give Ben Sheets, you know, not
(20:11):
to have him catch astray. But I covered the Brewers
twenty some years ago, and Ben Sheets in the locker
room was great, magnificent. And Ben Sheets with his shirt off,
wasn't John Carlos Stanton like not even close, not even
close to it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Dude, Kershaw mahomes. Look at all these guys that seems like.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, yeah, right, Kershaw is catching strays, you know, for
for for what he is, you know, what he looks like.
So there's yeah, it's it's an interesting And there are
guys that play the same sports in that way, I
feel like everybody in the NFL kind of looks the same,
you know, like in like in some way or another,
I mean taking out the lineman.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
But but situations, we'll get a you know, we'll get
another hunk who is married to Olivia Culpo has a
baby now, my guy Christian McCaffrey means there anyone more
ripped and conditioned than him. Yeah, he's always always fighting
the injury bug because he's just such a competitor and
(21:11):
the quickness and as the spot said, the emphasis on
explosiveness that is such a big part of it. Wrap
it up, Dan in Idaho. Then we're gonna play a game,
giveaway some prizes here. What's up, Dan?
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Hey, you know, one of the things I've always said,
especially with the achilles, the knee injuries, the acl is
just what did we do twenty thirty forty years ago
as kids?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
What did we do every day all day, especially in
the summers.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
We rode bikes, and no kids ride bikes anymore. And
I think that's a big part of why there's so
many lower extremity in bro.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Dan, I love your thought that that's interesting. It's almost
so ridiculous. No, but it's almost so ridiculous, actually, but
it's so ridiculous that it almost goes along with my thought,
like we're trying to come out with an answer, and Dan,
I'll be honest, that's one hell of a contributing answer,
Like why it makes no sense? Did you know Tyreek
kill not ride enough? Did he not play, you know,
(22:07):
ride bikes on the neighborhood? Did he not have a
mongoose or.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
A GT Some college dude needs to do a study
on that, or a huffy or a swin?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, where's your huffy?
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
You know, Nick Bosa? Will you not ride in your
I don't know. I don't know how much bike riding
has fallen off over the years.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It has quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Take So hey, listen, we'll take the rest of your feedback.
Dan Byer's got an update coming up.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Is aren't a huffy anymore? That's that's all we have
to say. You gotta be a little more huffy.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Ye, I'm gonna get my mom on the phone because
we're gonna use Oh I have her on the phone
right now, Thanks Matt. Because my mother, we're gonna play
a game called will Rich's Mom.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
This is a fun one because it's really a matter
of you. You decide will my mom know the answer
to a random sports question? If you could guess whether
she gets a right or wrong, you want a prize.
It's that simple. We'll play next five chances to get
too correct. We're going two out of five. They only
need to bat five hundred, four hundred. Danny Jesus, I
love it. He's making it easy for you. So if
(23:05):
you want to end eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox,
we do that next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

front mp D ME.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
What's going on man, Anthony Volpez.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
He had a solo home run for the Yankee store
at top of the Red Sox won nothing in the
top of the third inning and game one of their
American League Wild Card Series. It is a best of
three matchup in the other ALWC. The Tigers top the
Guardians today by a score of two to one.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Scooball cat bet someone a coffee. I'm sorry, Dan buy
Friend throt will Cavino wear his vulpy T shirt tomorrow
to work?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yes, yes he will, Yanks listen and somebody on the
screen right now is wearing a vulpe jersey with vulpe
on the back of it, which I think we've talked about,
is so annoying because the yeah, the Yankees don't have
vulbet on the back. What do Yeah, sorry, tire, that's
all right, that's all right. Trek scoobl fourteen strack in
seven and two thirds for Detroit today is there up
(32:03):
one to zero and the National League Cubs beat the
Padres three to one. Saya Suzuki and Carson Kelly hit
back to back home runs for Chicago in the fifth inning,
giving the Cubs the lead they would never relinquish that
Reds and Dodgers coming up at nine Eastern time tonight
coming up on Thursday forty nine Ers and Rams on
Thursday Night Football. Earlier today on cambi Are in San Francisco,
forty nine Ers GM, John Lynch said he expected Party
(32:25):
and wide receiver Ricky Piersoll to be questionable. No practice
for either today. That also includes wide receiver Juwan Jennings.
Party did meet with the media, says that it's toll
right now, feels better than it did after week one,
but also said that if there was a game tonight,
he would not be able to play, gives him forty
eight hours likely to be questionable for the game against
(32:46):
the Rams. Tyreek Hill had surgery on his injured knee.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says the realistic goal is for
him to be ready by the start of the next season.
Dolphins are signing wide receiver, said Rick Wilson, junior Off
the Saints practice squad. Raiders tackled Colton Miller headed to
I are with a high ankle sprain and hairline fracture
in that ankle. Former Syracuse basketball star Lawrence Moten died
at the age of fifty three and Minnesota Links forward
(33:08):
and the FISA Kllier r at a statement today saying
that there is a lack of accountability from the WNBA's
front office, saying.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
This, I'm concerned about the future of our sport. Everyone
deserves to hear the truth.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We have the best players in the world, we have
the best fans in the world, but right now we
have the worst leadership in the world.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
That from the Link Star. Collier's scathing words directed at
Commissioner Kathy Engelbert, saying that the league believes it succeeds
despite its players. She complained about the officiating, the TV deals,
how they treat their star players so lot in that
statement from Collier earlier today, Back.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
To you, Rich Dan, thank you around the room. Dumb
question before we go to break. This might be the
dumbest question of the day. Turf toe real big story
this year, Brock Purdy, you know, seems to be a
struggle early on and Joe Burrow. The extreme case of
that is what has now sidelined Burrow for the foreseeable future.
(34:04):
If you asked one hundred Cincinnati Bengal fans, if it
meant Burrow being back in action, would you lick his
toe once a day? How many? How many people would
say yes?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Not many?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Know where you're going with I thought you were going
to say, like the red That's where I thought it
was going.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Think about like Bengals fans that paint their face like
they're damn Bengal, like the diehard fans, And you said,
hey man, he's got to lick his toe once a
day and he'll be back.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, there's gonna be a few of those fans that'll
do it.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
What about I think I think fifty percent of Bengals
fans because that's a fan base that's thought this was
the year they were Thurston. They were like Thurst and
Howl the third they thought this was the year that
they were going to get to the next level. And
then Burrow's out. So I guarantee I changed my answer.
Seventy out of one hundred Bengals fans would lick Joe
Burrow's toe once a day for the rest of the
season if it meant him being healthy.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Wow, I'm sticking to it, Depraved.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
All right, listen, we got more Cavina on rich We'll
give you some playoff updates in the world of the
wild Card and talk a little more NFL. No more
toull licking, So don't worry. That's all coming up right here,
Cavino and rich Man the best two hours of the day.
(35:23):
Hang with you, guys, Unless, of course, I'm coaching my
kids hit like a nice double, then I'm proud of them.
You can't conditionally be proud of your kids off. That's
something I'm learning to right Hey, cavin on rich Fox
Sports Radio. Now, if you ever wanted to try an
Olympic or Paralympic sport, try fencing. It's safe, it's easy
to start. Find the beginning class near you at USA
(35:44):

It's a once in a generation event. The Harlem Globetrotters
one hundred Year Tour. Come be part of the legacy
that never stops. Be there when history's made. D up uh,
Harlem Globe Trotters one hundred Year Torq, get your tickets
(36:06):
today at Harlem Globetrotters dot com. All right, I wanted
to re angle my dumb question. There was actually a
better note. A better question was posed by Danny and
Io Sam. I said, turf toe. Huh, it's a big
problem this year. Brock Purdy. Who knows what's gonna happen
in the next forty eight hours or is it gonna
be Mac Jones on Thursday Night? And then I said
(36:28):
the Bengals whole season got flipped upside down because Joe Burrow.
It looks like most of the season he's out and
it's all turf toe. This is not good. And we
describe turf toe take your thumb and pull it back
until it hurts, and that hyper extension and snap of
that tendon would be the equivalent to what turf toe
(36:51):
on your big toe is. And I said, put a
Cincinnati Bengals fan licked Joe Burrow's toe once a day
for the whole season if it meant Burrow's back. A
better question was posed, that's not as weird. Would you
would you endure that injury if it meant Joe Burrow
didn't like If I said, hey, you're Bengals fan. You
(37:12):
have turf toe for the next three months, but Joe
Burrow's fine? Do you think fans would take on the
pain for the player they root for. Do Sundays, Mondays
and Thursdays mean that much to you? Like Danny g
if I told you, you know, the Raiders weren't a
better spot, but uh, you know genty out it pull
the grond muscle. If I said, Danny, he's fine, but
(37:32):
that means you pulled the grind muscle.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Now this is gonna have to be for a playoff winner,
a championship.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah no, yeah, Now you're not that you're what is
your team one in three, two and two?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
What they yeah? One and three?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Like for you, it doesn't apply. But there are times
where you're in you're in playoff mode. Like I you.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Know, if you said in order to win a playoff game,
then you'd see me coming into work on crutches. I
know that.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I still think the Phillies are one of the favorites
to really take the World Series. I think they're really
well balanced squad. Yet, know, Zach Wheeler, what if I
told some of these bonehead, die hard Phillies fans, who,
by the way, they really are the most passionate. You
gotta respect Philadelphia sports fans. Do you think someone that
would take on the injuries of players missing if it
(38:17):
meant that guy's healthy. And I think the answer is yes.
People paint their face, people spend thousands of dollars, people
buy jerseys, people get tattoos. You tell me they want
to endure an injury, Dan Byer.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Someone ate horsepoop after a celebration, of course, so they
had already won to do it. Yeah, Like, if that
allowed you to win, tells you everything that you need
to know.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I guarantee you go up to the Bay Area. I'm
not saying I would do this. I got other things
going on. I got to be Coach of the Year
for sports and I like to stay active. But I
guarantee there's Niner fans that if you said, hey, would
you take on Bosa's acl I bet you they would.
I bet you this in die Hard Bang Bang Niners
gang people that say, yeah, dude, I'll take on the
(39:02):
injury in some hypothetical world.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Transfer it from him to me.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
But well, because think of it, we're so diehard, Sam.
It's not like people break their TVs. People cry, people
are emotional, you see how I mean? Sports bring out
so much passion in people. And I really think that, like,
if you told me what would I do for the
Mets to have made the playoffs this year, and instead
of just sitting around today and then playing I probably
(39:27):
would have taken on a little something maybe who knows.
Just saying this conversation could become very morbid. It can
become I mean, no one's saying they're gonna take on
any deadly things, but I mean, like, like, if you know,
if I told you I was gonna win some big thing,
but Sam, you have to break your big toe.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
I think you'd break your big toe. Well, Danny brought
up to this scene. Go ahead, Danny, you can oh
my casino. Oh yeah, the guys like where they say like,
you can walk out of here with the money, but
we're gonna break your knees or we'll break your hand
and you get nothing with something like that. Yeah, and
the guy's like, yeah, take the broken hand. Yeah, they
smash his fingers with the hammer.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
If I like Sam, if I told you, Iowa like
shock the world like next year and there's the undefeated
football playoff and won the whole thing. But we got
to smash your hand with a hammer.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
See, but that heals. It needs to be something that
lasts forever, like herpes.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Never handed out herpes.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
We're giving Sam.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I just want a broken hand. This is I'm not
going to consider that other option.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
This is a simple hand injury.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Thank god Cavino's back tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
For the record, Sam would get herpes if I would
wuld score thirty or more in a game.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I go out and make bad.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Decisions, right Yeah, all right, Hey, guys, I want to
thank all of you for holding down the four. Dann Bayer,
thank you for being a fantastic co host, and Danny
g just being the best producer in the biz. And
I was Sam. You bring the joy and spot.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
You're pretty cool too, Ice stream videos.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Best video guy in the biz, and our buddy Cavino
will be back tomorrow and he'll probably have a smile
on his face because what the Yankees up one nothing.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
And your Mets aren in. You're going to chair for
my Dodgers tonight because we got Blake Snell versus Hunter Green.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I am and I'll tell you why. Because f the
Reds and something I want to talk about tomorrow. I
think I have to accept the fact that my son
wants to be a Dodgers fan. Yeah, so I don't
know how to feel about this. We'll discuss all this.
Thanks for hanging with Convenion Rich until tomorrow. A Riven
there you baby, see you in the Promised Land. Goodbye.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Let me just let you know.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We're doing it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

I'm gonna call up the YouTube chaff and say, how
to you guys, YouTube dot com slash at Covin on
rich FSR. Back to Kavino. He's the type of guy
on vacation that really does activity. He's like I saw
(01:24):
him crocheting something with his girlfriend. He's the guy that
does all the activities of the resorts. Offers macro Ma.
He's macro may. I don't know what big difference.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
My grandma would be hyped Danny if the result she
had crochet needles all over there right apart, very soothing.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think I feel like Kavino's girlfriend, as we know
because we play the game, is a Kavino or Belichick.
Cavino has a younger girlfriend named Jordan, who's in her
early thirties. She pulls him into all these activities like
let's go, you know, let's go play archery, let's go
you know, boarding and stuff. He does these things so
(02:04):
out of his comfort zone. So I'm sure we'll hear
some stories tomorrow. Kevino will be back, but right now
I want to continue my deep thought, and then we
are going to play will Rich's mom. No, we're gonna
give away some Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio, Nerve Football's.
I texted my mom, I said, be ready in fifteen minutes.
We're going to give you a call. We're simply gonna
give my mom basic sports and entertainment questions. And it's
(02:29):
really like, do our boomer parents know these answers? We'll
do that coming up, all right, But my thought about
Tyreek Hill. When you see all these guys baseball, football, basketball,
whether it's Kevin Durant or Nick Bosa, Tyreek Hill, all
(02:51):
the Tommy John surgeries in baseball ACL's achilles, it might
sound like a stone ear. I promise you I didn't
just take a bong rip like it's college days. I
really think, man, that perhaps have we physically outgrown the
(03:13):
nature in which these sports were designed to be played,
Because in the sixties, seventies, eighties, kind of like we
watch old highlights, and these guys were in shape, but
they were like they had like dad bods. They weren't
as big.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They all looked like Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
They all looked like Clayton Kershaw's man boobs. They all,
you know, like Ozzie Smith was just like a skinny,
slender athletic shortstop, you know. Joe Montana. Joe Montana had
like my muscle mass. Like these guys were just athletic dudes.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
There were men.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They had like dad strength.
They had like you know, like your your grandpappy would
they have the ability to like lift stuff and you're like, yeah, Grandpa,
you never worked out, why are you so strong? I
feel like athletes had that type of physique. Guys got injured,
but not the way they do now. And is it
because when you add size, strength, speed, athleticism, the ability
(04:13):
to jump in ways that guys couldn't back in the day,
Like we talk about all these like, hey, what if
someone of this generation played this generation? I promise you
everyone now would whoop anyone else in another generation. I
don't care what anyone says, they would whoop their ass completely,
without a doubt, the most doodoo NBA team would beat
(04:34):
the best NBA team thirty forty years ago, just based
on size, strength, ability, baseball guys back in the day,
we're throwing what low nineties tops and they had what
two pitches. Guys now are throwing five different pitches and
you could tell by how the fatigue they can't do
it for more than five or six innings. So my
(04:55):
question is, are we just two big, wrong and fast.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And not flexible enough?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Two? Well, we are flexible, but is our body not
designed for the speed, strength and size of how you
get hit today, how fast you throw today?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But don't we always hear that when you add the
muscle mass you lose some flexibility.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That is true, but I just think about it, Danny
g like, not necessarily, but yes, there I feel like
there's something to be said about what I'm saying where
there's so many injuries to elite athletes. But is that
maybe because when you throw one hundred and two miles
an hour, you break one hundred. Every guy's got guys
(05:39):
that could throw a hundred now and they've been doing
it since they're teenagers. And wide receivers are running faster
and jumping higher than they ever have, and guys that
are hitting them even though you can't hit helmet to
helm anymore, they're just bigger. Is there anything to this thought,
Damn buyer.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I think that there is something to it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I don't know is to jump off point the Neighbor's injury,
because I think that is separate from say pitchers in
baseball not being able to get a grip and throwing
out their elbow because of the amount of for how
hard they throw in what they're trying to do with
a baseball. Maybe there's maybe there's some similarities with that.
(06:19):
I do think at some point that the physical nature
of all of these athletes has gotten to a level
where maybe we had never seen before. But like Malik
Neighbors tearing out his knee, I just think is we
just thought that fake AstroTurf in this fake grass stuff
was going to be sufficient. And it's back where we
started in the mid to late eighties when we started
(06:41):
to take that turn away from astro turf, when it
started to get so bad.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now. Cavino, as you know, is a big boxing guy,
and he loves to point out that, you know, we've
got stronger and bigger, and physiques are more impressive. Your brain,
the human brain hasn't changed. Yes, you know, let's get
to this, so guys, you get hit now, it's different
(07:08):
than getting hit in different generations. I feel that everyone's
bigger and stronger, and it's unbelievable to think that people
don't talk about this. More like, again, look at all
your baseball pitchers. These guys are ripped. They're throwing one
hundred miles an hour. Mechanically, they're probably you would argue, oh,
they're probably more mechanically sound than ever before. They know
(07:30):
every angle. There's no more old school like Satchel Page
wind up. They realize, well, that's not the way you're
gonna get momentum. There's pitching coaches for kids. My kid
is five, Sam, he plays pony ball. Not the next
step above Shetland is when they don't do the coach
pitch and the t ball pinto the kids are pitching,
(07:51):
and the best ones have pitching coaches at seven or
eight years old. That's the kids sports world specialization. The
kids sports world filters then into travel ball colleges and
the pros. And I just feel like there's something about
almost like we've overtrained. We're too strong, we're too fast,
(08:12):
we're too everything, and it leaves us so susceptible to
just getting injured all the time.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I think you look at players like football from the
nineteen twenties or like its inception all the way to
the fifties. Guys weren't weight training, and they were playing
a lot of times both ways, so they were like
out of weight. They weren't all bulked up specializing in
one position. I feel like football players who played in
that era, they a lot of them just lived like long,
normal lives. Like Johnny Lujack played way back in the day.
(08:39):
He died a couple of years ago at the age
of ninety eight, and he played football for a long time.
And I think guys today, a lot of football players,
maybe they played in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, they
might be dying in their fifties, sixties, seventies because they
just take so much abuse over the course of their life.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm just saying, like like a wide receiver, now correct
me if I'm wrong. I could be completely wrong. I
don't think though. I don't think that though. When we
were kids. If you're kid of the eighties and nineties,
Andre Reid, Michael Irvin, Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Mark Duper,
Mark Clayton, like you know Chris Carter. Yeah, they got
banged up. But you name every team in the NFL,
(09:15):
and I could almost feel like you could tell me
how they've missed a year or half a year because
of some legitimate major injury. It is wild to me.
It used to be the anomaly when when a running
back would have some crazy knee injury. Now it's everyone,
and it's like, hey, we'll see you next year because
medicine is so great. But guys are being torn apart,
(09:36):
and I want to take your feedback.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I think guys are asked to do more from you know,
certain aspects if you're I don't know why. I feel
that quarterbacks were only suffering maybe a knee injury here there, or.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Like a like if Joe Montana got smushed, Yeah, a.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Shoulder, you know, graphic and gruesome that as that injury was. Like,
those were the type of injuries. Now with guys being
more mobile and moving around and doing those things. I
don't know, I don't know. I don't know if there's
scientific data that has that information. But I do think
that you are doing more so you are more susceptible
(10:18):
to certain types of injuries.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, quarterbacks just.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Run are more mobile and run more than they did,
you know, thirty forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
The routes, receivers are running the crossover dribbles and quick movements.
These NBA players are making the one hundred and two
mile an hour fastballs, pitchers are throwing. There just seems
to be so much more stress on the body because
we're demanding more that everyone just can't and don't give
(10:46):
me this, bs it. Guys are just tougher back in
the day. No guys ruppering his achilles or you know,
acl injury and just keep playing. Don't tell me guys
are so tough that they played a season you know,
terribly injured. Well it wasn't. Don't give me that bs Yes, dandy,
Oh that was me. Oh what's up? Sam?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I just think Also, guys in the last forty years
are you know, eating more protein. They're just bigger, they're stronger,
and yeah, like you said, our skull and our brain
are the same, but they're getting hit and it's more
like a collision than it was in the past than
it does more damage to the body, like offensive linemen
in the fifties, or like in the two hundred and
two hundred and fifty pound range.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Now they're over three hundred pounds.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
So in the in the game of football, and I
don't know if this is like this in any other sport.
I don't think that there is, because I think football
is so unique. I think that football was has just
gotten more complex, got more complicated throughout the years. Yes,
it's not just hand off to the running back, throw
the ball to the tight end or wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So there are.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
There are schemes that cuts the athleticism everything, But the
athleticism is the word, right, because all all this, everything
I'm saying cross sports comes down to the athleticism that's
needed to play in today's professional sports world.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yes, And I think forty years ago and I just
used that as an example, I don't know how many
times we were talking about ambulance balls and I'm talking
about the throws that the quarterbacks make where their wide
receiver is going to get killed. And someone like Jack
Tatum in the nineteen seventies and Danny's Raiders made a
living off of that, right, crushing a wide receiver wide
(12:23):
receiver on a slant. Now that's kind of been eliminated.
Teams aren't doing that as much anymore. So, someone may say, well,
they look at what Jack Tatum did to these guys
in the nineteen seventies. With all that being said, I
do think NFL teams now are so deep in trying
to find any edge that they can get that they
push those lines to maybe you end up putting guys
(12:45):
in tough spots because you're trying to get any advantage
that you can get.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's amazing when you always hear it. At the combine.
They'll be like, man, this guy's three hundreds of then
pounds and he runs a whatever forty and you're like, wow,
you know, my dude, big Trent Williams and the Niners
just seems like, how can he be that big and
strong and that agile? And I heard o'givem props. I
think it was Nick Right or Brew who used to
(13:10):
do Brusard, who used to do odd couple. On FS one,
they were talking about how for the Ravens, can the
Ravens whether this Lamar might be injured storm and it's
like they were talking about, how have you load up
that line, fall back and get all these all these
guys who were named it are all six three six four,
three hundred pounds full back. You know the size of
(13:33):
Derrick Henry, and you're thinking, like, these guys are just
they should not be that fast and agile for their size.
It's it doesn't make sense to me. Let's go to
Nick and Alabama. You're on with coven On Rich. What's up, Bud.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
I appreciate each guys taking my call.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Man, I didn't think I really didn't think you'd take it.
I listen to you guys all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I love you. Thanks for.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Listen, guys. I think you're missing the boat.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Oh, let's hear it.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Look, I mean I played I played sports, and I
quit college football because my coach, God bless them, Gary Barnett,
wanted me to take steroids. And that was back in
nineteen eighty two. But I was a cop for thirty
six years, and I've seen people destroy.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Themselves because they take body enhancing drugs, whether it be testosterone,
dianabol testosterone, hgh whatever. Here's the problem. There's the part
that nobody wants to talk about. When you grow the
muscle so fast, the tendons don't grow. You have to understand,
(14:40):
like you can have the biggest quad in the whole world,
but the tendons that are around it. The steroids don't
make those grow like that.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So whether it's illegal or illegal enhancements or supplements, you're
saying that our body's not designed for that, like our
buddy Mauser and hit us up in and said he goes.
It's interesting because all these injuries happen. Yet we could
all agree that equipment in all sports has gotten safer. Helmets, padding, baseball, basketball, compression.
(15:11):
This that like the equipment and everything that the pictures
don't throw complete games any longer. Yeah, pictures so well,
they average five six innings, so it's a very different game.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Rules have been changed to make the game. A lot
of games safer, Like my friend's father was a center
for IOW in the early nineteen seventies and they're terrible,
and you were allowed back and then to like when
the center was snapping the ball, you could push the
center's like face down into the dirt, like you could
just like pile drive him and he and my friend's
dad he's passed away now. He he had nerve damage
(15:43):
in his shoulders and neck and he developed Parkinson's later
in life. You wonder if maybe the rule changes help people,
but they have too much weight on their frame and
like our collar mentioned the tendons issue.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, Bob in Texas, you're all with Kevin on retch.
What's up, Bob?
Speaker 8 (15:57):
I think when you compare generations, it's like find China
against Stoneware. And the players today have been more specialized
and they play less sports when they're younger and everybody's
a pitcher for the rest of their life or they're
a receiver for the rest of their life, and they
don't get they're not as much all around athletes and
(16:17):
well rounded and maybe not choosing the right sport. But
if you look at some of the players today, they
could not play in the seventies because they couldn't throw
a complete game.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, but they're bigger and stronger. They just don't have me.
I don't know that they're just it just it makes
no sense because if the guys are bigger, faster, stronger,
and more agile, how are they also more fragile. That
just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
There's also there's muscles, and then there's joints, and it
seems like a lot of these issues are happening around
the joint, and you know there's the hamstring strange obviously,
but like at the so the joints aren't being strengthened
it And I'm reading a couple of things and checking
out AI and seeing all the all these different sort
of effects that are having on it, and a lot
(17:06):
of it is players are training for explosiveness, not for
joint stability. Different to protect quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Like we said, that's a great answer, that's already a
great answer. Yeah, the the fic is on are you
are you an explosive off the off the snap, but
the explosiveness versus like you said, stability joints stability.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Yeah, yeah, like you know, locking in a knee versus
just like getting a good explosive jump. Protecting certain players
in the way that the routes are designed to protect
those players are creating more awkward collisions. So that's creating
more awkward injuries.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
What was what was the jumping off pointr.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Tyree Hill and neighbors. You could say, well, all the
all the guys. It seems like every year or so,
multiple elite guys. Den I'm just saying every year, multiple
elite guys are out. And I just feel like when
we were kids, and I'm not doing the oh back
in the day because I don't think those guys are
certainly not stronger, are better, and not tougher. It just
there's something to be said about like these guys are
so big and so strong and so fast, yet they're
(18:06):
also fragile.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, yeah, and that's why, like I think, like Tyreek's
situation last night is different than Malik Neighbors. Tyreek's injury
came on grass, like as we're talking about, like a
like a playing surface sort of thing. I think Melik
neighbors injury is directly related to the playing surface that
he played on, which is different to what we are
you know, to what we are talking about.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
And you know what is a huge part of strength,
conditioning and muscle building and all that is recovery time.
And if you're constantly playing, if you're constantly training, if
you're constantly you know, conditioning, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Drew Rosenhaus told me, Tyreek's gonna be ready for a
week exactly.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Like if you're not giving yourself, like you know, I
roll my ankle, I'm out out of the gym for
two weeks. It's like you got to give yourself that
proper time, and they are not allowed that proper time
to let things set in and strengthen properly before going
out and active.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, I appreciate you guys letting me he's a great time.
I'm glad I appreciate you guys let me before you know,
I was gonna say, I'm glad you guys let me
air out this thought because I do feel like we
don't talk about it enough and I hate the old
and I'm glad we didn't go back in the day
people were tougher, because that's not where I was going.
I was just going that everyone's bigger, stronger, and better. Now,
(19:21):
why are we so hurt? I don't remember when you
were a kid in the eighties or nineties, an NFL
season or an MLB season didn't go by where multiple
ace pitchers or quarterbacks or wide receivers were all out
with like big acl Achilles, Tommy John. It just wasn't
a thing.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I'll tell I'll tell you this.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Just saw John Carlo Stanton grounded into an inning ending
double play.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh, they could have threw that ball to the center
fielder and then first base, he still would have been out.
That guy slow as hell. Yeah, look, but they threw
that ball at first base. He was halfway down the line.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
But also if you were to talk about who was
the maybe best fit, who's the best in shape baseball player?
And John Carlo, Yeah, who's always hurt? John Carla the
best example of a guy that with his shirt off.
Do you tell your wife, Hey, I'm here, sweetheart, listen ill, hey,
honey money not to give Ben Sheets, you know, not
(20:11):
to have him catch astray. But I covered the Brewers
twenty some years ago, and Ben Sheets in the locker
room was great, magnificent. And Ben Sheets with his shirt off,
wasn't John Carlos Stanton like not even close, not even
close to it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Dude, Kershaw mahomes. Look at all these guys that seems like.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, yeah, right, Kershaw is catching strays, you know, for
for for what he is, you know, what he looks like.
So there's yeah, it's it's an interesting And there are
guys that play the same sports in that way, I
feel like everybody in the NFL kind of looks the same,
you know, like in like in some way or another,
I mean taking out the lineman.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
But but situations, we'll get a you know, we'll get
another hunk who is married to Olivia Culpo has a
baby now, my guy Christian McCaffrey means there anyone more
ripped and conditioned than him. Yeah, he's always always fighting
the injury bug because he's just such a competitor and
(21:11):
the quickness and as the spot said, the emphasis on
explosiveness that is such a big part of it. Wrap
it up, Dan in Idaho. Then we're gonna play a game,
giveaway some prizes here. What's up, Dan?
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Hey, you know, one of the things I've always said,
especially with the achilles, the knee injuries, the acl is
just what did we do twenty thirty forty years ago
as kids?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
What did we do every day all day, especially in
the summers.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
We rode bikes, and no kids ride bikes anymore. And
I think that's a big part of why there's so
many lower extremity in bro.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Dan, I love your thought that that's interesting. It's almost
so ridiculous. No, but it's almost so ridiculous, actually, but
it's so ridiculous that it almost goes along with my thought,
like we're trying to come out with an answer, and Dan,
I'll be honest, that's one hell of a contributing answer,
Like why it makes no sense? Did you know Tyreek
kill not ride enough? Did he not play, you know,
(22:07):
ride bikes on the neighborhood? Did he not have a
mongoose or.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
A GT Some college dude needs to do a study
on that, or a huffy or a swin?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, where's your huffy?
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
You know, Nick Bosa? Will you not ride in your
I don't know. I don't know how much bike riding
has fallen off over the years.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It has quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Take So hey, listen, we'll take the rest of your feedback.
Dan Byer's got an update coming up.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Is aren't a huffy anymore? That's that's all we have
to say. You gotta be a little more huffy.
Speaker 1 (22:33):

to Vegas, and she wants to go see the Wizard.
She wants to see the Wizard of ozit this, and
she wants to see the Raiders play at home. So
I said, wait for you something to get his next contract.
(31:04):
All right, Mom, thank you, I love you, thanks for playing.
And Matt, congratulations, you won our second edition of will
Rich's Mom. Now, all right, let's go to Dan Buyer
front mp D ME.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
What's going on man, Anthony Volpez.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
He had a solo home run for the Yankee store
at top of the Red Sox won nothing in the
top of the third inning and game one of their
American League Wild Card Series. It is a best of
three matchup in the other ALWC. The Tigers top the
Guardians today by a score of two to one.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Scooball cat bet someone a coffee. I'm sorry, Dan buy
Friend throt will Cavino wear his vulpy T shirt tomorrow
to work?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yes, yes he will, Yanks listen and somebody on the
screen right now is wearing a vulpe jersey with vulpe
on the back of it, which I think we've talked about,
is so annoying because the yeah, the Yankees don't have
vulbet on the back. What do Yeah, sorry, tire, that's
all right, that's all right. Trek scoobl fourteen strack in
seven and two thirds for Detroit today is there up
(32:03):
one to zero and the National League Cubs beat the
Padres three to one. Saya Suzuki and Carson Kelly hit
back to back home runs for Chicago in the fifth inning,
giving the Cubs the lead they would never relinquish that
Reds and Dodgers coming up at nine Eastern time tonight
coming up on Thursday forty nine Ers and Rams on
Thursday Night Football. Earlier today on cambi Are in San Francisco,
forty nine Ers GM, John Lynch said he expected Party
(32:25):
and wide receiver Ricky Piersoll to be questionable. No practice
for either today. That also includes wide receiver Juwan Jennings.
Party did meet with the media, says that it's toll
right now, feels better than it did after week one,
but also said that if there was a game tonight,
he would not be able to play, gives him forty
eight hours likely to be questionable for the game against
(32:46):
the Rams. Tyreek Hill had surgery on his injured knee.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says the realistic goal is for
him to be ready by the start of the next season.
Dolphins are signing wide receiver, said Rick Wilson, junior Off
the Saints practice squad. Raiders tackled Colton Miller headed to
I are with a high ankle sprain and hairline fracture
in that ankle. Former Syracuse basketball star Lawrence Moten died
at the age of fifty three and Minnesota Links forward
(33:08):
and the FISA Kllier r at a statement today saying
that there is a lack of accountability from the WNBA's
front office, saying.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
This, I'm concerned about the future of our sport. Everyone
deserves to hear the truth.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We have the best players in the world, we have
the best fans in the world, but right now we
have the worst leadership in the world.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
That from the Link Star. Collier's scathing words directed at
Commissioner Kathy Engelbert, saying that the league believes it succeeds
despite its players. She complained about the officiating, the TV deals,
how they treat their star players so lot in that
statement from Collier earlier today, Back.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
To you, Rich Dan, thank you around the room. Dumb
question before we go to break. This might be the
dumbest question of the day. Turf toe real big story
this year, Brock Purdy, you know, seems to be a
struggle early on and Joe Burrow. The extreme case of
that is what has now sidelined Burrow for the foreseeable future.
(34:04):
If you asked one hundred Cincinnati Bengal fans, if it
meant Burrow being back in action, would you lick his
toe once a day? How many? How many people would
say yes?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Not many?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Know where you're going with I thought you were going
to say, like the red That's where I thought it
was going.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Think about like Bengals fans that paint their face like
they're damn Bengal, like the diehard fans, And you said,
hey man, he's got to lick his toe once a
day and he'll be back.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, there's gonna be a few of those fans that'll
do it.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
What about I think I think fifty percent of Bengals
fans because that's a fan base that's thought this was
the year they were Thurston. They were like Thurst and
Howl the third they thought this was the year that
they were going to get to the next level. And
then Burrow's out. So I guarantee I changed my answer.
Seventy out of one hundred Bengals fans would lick Joe
Burrow's toe once a day for the rest of the
season if it meant him being healthy.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Wow, I'm sticking to it, Depraved.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
All right, listen, we got more Cavina on rich We'll
give you some playoff updates in the world of the
wild Card and talk a little more NFL. No more
toull licking, So don't worry. That's all coming up right here,
Cavino and rich Man the best two hours of the day.
(35:23):
Hang with you, guys, Unless, of course, I'm coaching my
kids hit like a nice double, then I'm proud of them.
You can't conditionally be proud of your kids off. That's
something I'm learning to right Hey, cavin on rich Fox
Sports Radio. Now, if you ever wanted to try an
Olympic or Paralympic sport, try fencing. It's safe, it's easy
to start. Find the beginning class near you at USA
(35:44):

It's a once in a generation event. The Harlem Globetrotters
one hundred Year Tour. Come be part of the legacy
that never stops. Be there when history's made. D up uh,
Harlem Globe Trotters one hundred Year Torq, get your tickets
(36:06):
today at Harlem Globetrotters dot com. All right, I wanted
to re angle my dumb question. There was actually a
better note. A better question was posed by Danny and
Io Sam. I said, turf toe. Huh, it's a big
problem this year. Brock Purdy. Who knows what's gonna happen
in the next forty eight hours or is it gonna
be Mac Jones on Thursday Night? And then I said
(36:28):
the Bengals whole season got flipped upside down because Joe Burrow.
It looks like most of the season he's out and
it's all turf toe. This is not good. And we
describe turf toe take your thumb and pull it back
until it hurts, and that hyper extension and snap of
that tendon would be the equivalent to what turf toe
(36:51):
on your big toe is. And I said, put a
Cincinnati Bengals fan licked Joe Burrow's toe once a day
for the whole season if it meant Burrow's back. A
better question was posed, that's not as weird. Would you
would you endure that injury if it meant Joe Burrow
didn't like If I said, hey, you're Bengals fan. You
(37:12):
have turf toe for the next three months, but Joe
Burrow's fine? Do you think fans would take on the
pain for the player they root for. Do Sundays, Mondays
and Thursdays mean that much to you? Like Danny g
if I told you, you know, the Raiders weren't a
better spot, but uh, you know genty out it pull
the grond muscle. If I said, Danny, he's fine, but
(37:32):
that means you pulled the grind muscle.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Now this is gonna have to be for a playoff winner,
a championship.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah no, yeah, Now you're not that you're what is
your team one in three, two and two?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
What they yeah? One and three?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Like for you, it doesn't apply. But there are times
where you're in you're in playoff mode. Like I you.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Know, if you said in order to win a playoff game,
then you'd see me coming into work on crutches. I
know that.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I still think the Phillies are one of the favorites
to really take the World Series. I think they're really
well balanced squad. Yet, know, Zach Wheeler, what if I
told some of these bonehead, die hard Phillies fans, who,
by the way, they really are the most passionate. You
gotta respect Philadelphia sports fans. Do you think someone that
would take on the injuries of players missing if it
(38:17):
meant that guy's healthy. And I think the answer is yes.
People paint their face, people spend thousands of dollars, people
buy jerseys, people get tattoos. You tell me they want
to endure an injury, Dan Byer.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Someone ate horsepoop after a celebration, of course, so they
had already won to do it. Yeah, Like, if that
allowed you to win, tells you everything that you need
to know.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I guarantee you go up to the Bay Area. I'm
not saying I would do this. I got other things
going on. I got to be Coach of the Year
for sports and I like to stay active. But I
guarantee there's Niner fans that if you said, hey, would
you take on Bosa's acl I bet you they would.
I bet you this in die Hard Bang Bang Niners
gang people that say, yeah, dude, I'll take on the
(39:02):
injury in some hypothetical world.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Transfer it from him to me.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
But well, because think of it, we're so diehard, Sam.
It's not like people break their TVs. People cry, people
are emotional, you see how I mean? Sports bring out
so much passion in people. And I really think that, like,
if you told me what would I do for the
Mets to have made the playoffs this year, and instead
of just sitting around today and then playing I probably
(39:27):
would have taken on a little something maybe who knows.
Just saying this conversation could become very morbid. It can
become I mean, no one's saying they're gonna take on
any deadly things, but I mean, like, like, if you know,
if I told you I was gonna win some big thing,
but Sam, you have to break your big toe.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
I think you'd break your big toe. Well, Danny brought
up to this scene. Go ahead, Danny, you can oh
my casino. Oh yeah, the guys like where they say like,
you can walk out of here with the money, but
we're gonna break your knees or we'll break your hand
and you get nothing with something like that. Yeah, and
the guy's like, yeah, take the broken hand. Yeah, they
smash his fingers with the hammer.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
If I like Sam, if I told you, Iowa like
shock the world like next year and there's the undefeated
football playoff and won the whole thing. But we got
to smash your hand with a hammer.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
See, but that heals. It needs to be something that
lasts forever, like herpes.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Never handed out herpes.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
We're giving Sam.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I just want a broken hand. This is I'm not
going to consider that other option.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
This is a simple hand injury.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Thank god Cavino's back tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
For the record, Sam would get herpes if I would
wuld score thirty or more in a game.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I go out and make bad.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Decisions, right Yeah, all right, Hey, guys, I want to
thank all of you for holding down the four. Dann Bayer,
thank you for being a fantastic co host, and Danny
g just being the best producer in the biz. And
I was Sam. You bring the joy and spot.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
You're pretty cool too, Ice stream videos.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Best video guy in the biz, and our buddy Cavino
will be back tomorrow and he'll probably have a smile
on his face because what the Yankees up one nothing.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
And your Mets aren in. You're going to chair for
my Dodgers tonight because we got Blake Snell versus Hunter Green.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I am and I'll tell you why. Because f the
Reds and something I want to talk about tomorrow. I
think I have to accept the fact that my son
wants to be a Dodgers fan. Yeah, so I don't
know how to feel about this. We'll discuss all this.
Thanks for hanging with Convenion Rich until tomorrow. A Riven
there you baby, see you in the Promised Land. Goodbye.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
