Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports. Yo, what's up, buddies? What's
up to you? How are you listen to you? Listen
to you? Listen to you? Listen to you, listen to you?
You're out of here. Cadino and Rich is Fox Sports Sunday.

(00:21):
Listen to spot Hey, what's up Spotty? What's up? World?
Thank you guys for hanging out with us. Maybe you
heard of us, Maybe you heard us filling in for
Dan Patrick earlier this week. If not, hey, you're here
with us today. Danny g is hanging out to say
here on the update, almost running the boards, and uh man,
it's like another week without football, Like, what the heck

(00:43):
do you do on Sundays? Hey? By the way, rich, Um,
I'm not worried about football right now. I'm worried about
my pay rate when we fill in for Dan Patrick.
Do we get Dan Patrick money? Or just seriously, Danny,
you didn't have to laugh out loud week. Honestly, my
girlfriend asked me that, I'm like you choking me? Yeah,

(01:04):
She's like, do you get extra like extra like high five?
It's like when a minor league spot starts for mac Scherzer,
you get her money? Right? I got. I got an
extra side of meatballs. That's about it. Extra extra pack
of gum. You got a coconut donut, half a donut
that was left in the lobby. It was left in
the kitchen. I got nothing, but what a great week. Honestly,

(01:25):
you know it's old hat, Rich, We've done this for
a million years. But what's what's your old hat? Day? Borghetti?
Dirty Yankees had from when you're a kid. You know
that sweat stained John Wetland, that Brett Farve hat. That
that old hat. We've been doing this a long time,
you know, filling in for Dan Patras. Look at this
like man, good week, fun week. We've been busy. We

(01:46):
filled in for Gottlieb, Dan Patrick and here we are
on our own shift. Cavino Enriched Fox Sports Sunday. If
you have anything to say, eight seven seven on Fox,
we have lots of nonsense to get into the shelf,
wide leaders of nonsense. Coveno. You don't work at a factory.
It's a shift that radio. You do a show, Covino.
I don't care. It's a shift to me. I love

(02:07):
what I do, but it's still work. Alright. Well, um,
I wanted to ask you because you said you are
a guy that's been doing radio for a long time,
sports radio, rock radio. Comino is the type of guy
much like me. You've made your rounds over the last
ten twenty plus years doing radio broadcasting, TV radio. Are
you the type of guy I'm the type of guy style, No,

(02:29):
you're not. Are you the type of guy that saves
ticket stubs? And I asked you. I ask you that
because as I'm prepping for today's Fox Sports radio show,
and you know, there's not really much going on. Honestly,
if you're the type of guy that doesn't, I'm not
your friend. Here's the thing. I have a theory on this,
and I'll tell you where I'm going, because there's a
a new world record for the most expensive ticket stub

(02:53):
that was sold in an auction. But you are the
guy like if you go see Yankees Angels on Tuesday Night,
you're keeping that ticket stuff. I've learned a lot of
lessons throughout life, right. One of them is never trust,
Never trust a big button a smile. They were so
right about that too. You know, back the day it

(03:14):
didn't really matter me. Now I looked back and like
they were so right. Never trust a big button a smile.
What are the lessons have you? Papa Roach taught me
that the things you own own you, and we learned
that in fight club. You know, the things you own
owned you. And I learned that later on in life.

(03:35):
So you know, I used to keep everything. I really did.
I used to keep everything because it meant a. I
put all this value on nonsense and memorabilia and collectibles
and autographs, things that amount to nothing dust collectors. Really,
I mean, I went to your house yesterday and I
helped you carry a probably five pounds CD case. I mean,

(03:59):
out of context, you're right, who has c ds. I'm
a guy who built his career in radio and music, right.
I ended up on sports radio, But I built my
career in rock radio and in music, and I'm a
big music lover as much as I love sports. So
I'm not getting rid of that. You kept it in
your storage area. But you said, well, most of the
usual autographed, and I get that. But Danny g your

(04:19):
guy that's worked in sports radio, all types of radio
and broadcasting. Do you if let's say you're covering the
A Mayweather fight five years ago and they give you
the laminate with the little chain around your neck. It's like,
Danny G. Credential, do you keep that and throw that
crap out? I would save that. I have all those,
I would save those. But how how long has it

(04:41):
been now that we've been using digital tickets at events?
So that like that? That, by the way, Danny G
is one of the angles I was going to go
up because I think it has to be at least
the last five almost ten years. Where if I was
living when I was living in New York, and I
was printed out Met tickets to go, you know, I'll
see the Mets and the Phillies on a Thursday night.
You're printing out a piece of paper. It's not a stub.

(05:03):
But you're gonna keep the sheet of paper. Now you
just scan a QR code exactly. So now you're just
you know, keeping a bunch of sheet. Yeah, for no reason. Yeah,
So here's my Yeah, that was a good one. It's
a good one. No need to uh hit the button
on me. I meant what I said, and I said
what I meant. So I keep the lanyards, the laminins,

(05:26):
the credentials, no doubt, no dignity. Again. I've been doing
radio since the late nineties. Right, don't hate yourself. It's
the truth. I'm not trying to impress Anybody's the truth.
It's not bragging. If it's true, you're showing credibility. Yeah.
I have every laminit till this day Deonte Wilder style
ramos till this day. Till this day, I have every

(05:50):
laminit for everything I work and went I went to.
I have every ticket stuff I don't have, like movie
I have like movie stubbs from like maybe a first
day or like the first time I took my daughter
to see him. Where your high school girlfriend you have that?
Here's the deal. Here's the deals is concert tickets, concerts
events in other words, events, concert tickets, ball games, and credentials.

(06:15):
If I have un don't do that anymore, Danny. But
do you stay out a fancy hotel, you gotta take
the room key and put it somewhere in your crib.
You know what, express I have a ton of those.
Here's where I think rich is heading. That stuff doesn't
mean did Lee squat too rich? And I gotta be honest.

(06:36):
It baffles and boggles me because you know you live once,
and you know those are the one prideful thing that
I said, like, like I said, I learned my lessons.
I don't have anything but those things to to like, hey,
show my kid, or show somebody look at all the
things I've done. That's the only thing I have. Or
those stupid credentials and those stupid ticket stuffs. And I'll

(06:59):
tell you what thing. I think part of what I'm
trying to get at here is the ticket stub is
the thing in the past, people print out a ticket
on a piece of office printer paper, or as Spot
pointed out, you scan it, you got a QR code
on your phone, you open up a little wallet on
your iPhone, and it's it's there, but it's it's nothing

(07:21):
memorable about it. So I'm gonna say that that has
replaced the importance and novelty of a ticket stubb the
same way no one wants an autograph anymore. People want
a selfie. If you meet Aaron Rodgers and he's cried
at a coffee shop over Shateleen Woodley, you don't want
Aaron Rodgers to sign your Starbucks napkin. You want Aaron
Rodgers to turn around and give you a quick little selfie. Right, Okay,

(07:42):
I'm not gonna debate that it's lost its luster a
little bit, but I still keep build thinking those things
to commemorate the moment. If I could, if I have
the stub, if I have a credential. Um. But it's
sort of a weak analogy. But every time we talk
about the the death of a of a loved one,
people always say, you take their clothes and you make

(08:04):
a quill. Right, they always say that. People always say that,
take their shirts, you make a quill, make a quill
out of them. And I've seen them and they're nice,
But people always say that. So I'm here to give
you a different sort of take on that. I saw
one of our bosses do this and it was the
one time and I hated this guy. Total d bag. Yeah,

(08:24):
totally was and it is um. But the one thing
I was envious of is he took all of his
like favorite ticket stubs and put him in some sort
of crazy collage and had him printed out and it
looked so dope, like a printed poster. Yeah. Yeah, so
you know, I know you don't put a lot of

(08:44):
value on them, rich, but if you're able to, you know,
get your best ones, like mind go like my my
special ones would be like when the Yankees really hit
their heyday in their prime and started winning in the nineties.
I had all the first like my first playoff game
that mattered as a young adult. Right, I have all
those ticket stubs. You take your Metallica, your you know,

(09:05):
you're your Nirvana ticket stubs. You're Alice and chane Ke
whatever it is, right, whatever game? Oh man, I sawd
Lebron play that day. Oh Nets and Cavaliers. Yeah, you know.
You put them together. You print out some sort of
poster sized collage, put it up in your man cave
or your office. See that's what I'm talking about. So

(09:25):
there's a guy there. It looks cool, man, it looks
really cool when I saw it, and I made a
little mental note, rich like, yeah, one day. That's why
I kept them so I could do something like that. Well,
I'll give you this. There's a reason I bring it up.
I didn't bring it up just to be like yo,
Comino told me about your ticket stubs. Uh, there was
an auction and records were broken, and I'd play a

(09:46):
little guessing game. But you're probably not in the mood. No,
I am, okay. What I love a good guessing game.
What athlete, what athlete. There's two ticket stubs that sold
for an exorbitant amount of money. It two different players, debuts,
different sports. Who do you think has the fan base

(10:06):
or the history where their first appearance That ticket stub
is worth something because there was an auction and both
of these tickets, one of them Babe Ruth and Jordan's,
Onis Wagner, I'll give you the Jordan's. Jordan's Michael Jordan's
four debut ticket fetched four hundred and sixty eight thousand

(10:28):
dollars in an auction for the stub for sixty eight
for the Jordans first game in the NBA. I thought
of you worth more than that. I mean, keep in
mind there was like probably twenty people on hand. It's
just who kept that stub. Maybe you didn't know the
significant No, I think a lot of people kept it.
That's why the values not so high. Danny g let
me ask you, what would you do? And this has

(10:50):
happened to me as well. I've been on my way
out of a playoff game or a cool event and
there's people that are like, yeah, I'll give you twenty
bucks for your stuff because they try to make like
montages or like you know, like at then get out
of Yeah, kid, I've been to a super Bowl, you know,
very lucky enough that I've been to a super Bowl.
You leave the super Bowl, everyone's like, you know, fifty

(11:11):
bucks for your stuff because they probably put together plaques
and remember Billia with those stubs, like hey, it's a
Stafford Jersey with the ticket stub. And you know. I
was at the Metallica Live performance, which happened in the Oakland,
Alameda parking lot before the Raiders a f C championship
win and best football game of my life. On the

(11:32):
way out, a guy offered to be a hundred dollars
for the stub, and I said, no, I still have
you went to the you went to the last play
at and Paul McCartney and every if someone said hey
you beardy guy, and you hear me, I'll have you.
So you still have that stuff for last place. It
commemorates the moment. So you got a lot of things

(11:54):
that do that. I mean, you bought a T shirt
from some dude in the street, Like, you don't have
a lot of things you hold on from that moment.
So I keep him in my rubber maid bin in storage.
I have them all. I got it all. I asked
you all my lanyards hanging on a all my lambin,
it's my credentials hanging on a hanger in my closet,
and two hangars full your girlfriend. You must that if

(12:16):
you want to play along at home. For those of
you keeping score at home, I don't know who does that,
but I used to say that all the time. Michael
Kay still says that. For those of you keeping score
at home. Uh, if you go to my Instagram at
Steve Covino, you could. I actually posted a picture of like,
you know, a lot of my Chili peppers, Uh, Yankees, credics,

(12:37):
you know, all the things that meant something to me.
Or either I worked it or I went so all right,
Michael Jordan's people just joining us. I brought it up
for a reason. Ticket stubs, because to two ticket stubs
both went for almost half a million dollars. The first
one you got right, which was Jordan's first game in
the NBA four hundred and sixty eight thousand. Muhammed Ali's debut. No,

(12:57):
I'm no, that's not like Sunny List. I mean you're not.
You're on the right track as far as generation very
important moment in not only sports history but culture and
Robert Oh Jackie Robinson, Jackie Robinson, Jackie Robinson the ticket

(13:19):
stuff for his first game when he played in the
major leagues four dred and eighty thousand dollars. Nice? How
much for branch Rickey's hat? Uh that the nice when
he saw that when helped him Southern Company to the contract.
That is twelve dollars now, but I'm telling you it's uh,
it's pretty wild that someone held onto that stuff. And
you would think more people did, right, I would have thought, so,

(13:41):
you know, half a million dollars though you're giving it up.
I mean, we see crazier things. But still it's just
the ticket. Some silly n probably go to silly NFC
have a monkey's head goes for because for a million.
So this is Jackie Robinson and Michael Jordan's first game ever,
right right? Not bad? And the number three. So this

(14:03):
these two surpassed the original one, which was the same
ticket stuff from Jordan's debut for two hundred sixty four thousand,
but it was a check ticket. So now that's the
third most valuable. Jordan has two of the three. Top
it was the most ticket though, what do you mean,
so I assume maybe it was like punched or or
something weren't used. Well, I think they could be used,

(14:26):
but they weren't maybe like ticket like maybe like you know,
maybe before before it was like some senior usually they
ripped them. Maybe back then, Hey, you're probably right now.
Before it was just some guy with a little bi
computer thing. It was probably some old lady that was like, Rich,
it's funny you bring this up, man, because and we're

(14:46):
gonna get to all your phone calls too. Doesn't mean
anything to you eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
Cavino and Rich And is there one, by the way,
in this generation that your foresight might mean something like
Lebron's first game in Cleveland. Yeah, one that you're holding
on two years ago. I mean, you know, for maybe
one even one in the future. Maybe you know, like
you know, maybe you got you got one that you
think is going to have value. But you always hear

(15:10):
the stories of Yeah, man, I was rummaging through my
uncle's you know, basement, and I found her my grandma's closet,
and I found these old cards. You never hear the
stories of Stubbs. So maybe the thought wasn't to keep
that stuff back. Then, that's weirder things you can find
at grandma's closet, especially your old stinky uncle's. Yeah, and

(15:32):
guess what I found in my old stinky uncle's closet.
All right, we're gonna take your feed your feedback, your
phone calls, all that. I don't want to enough. Fox

You know why why cousin some posh? Alright, Danny g
is here, Ramos, Steve the Sayer and of course Spotty

(17:01):
and Cavino and Rich Yeah yeah, eight seven, seven nine
nine on Fox. Let's get straight to your phone calls.
I brought up memorabilia, specifically ticket stubbs, because I know
Cavino is the type of guy that keeps everything and
two of the highest pieces of sports memorabilia and the
ticket stub world, we're just sold that an auction what
was it, four hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars from

(17:24):
Michael Jordan's debut game with the Bulls and Jackie Robinson's
first game four hundred and eighty thousand. Does this show
that n f T s, that people are spending all
these money on n f T s, that there really
are just a fat and people still like the physical Yeah,
maybe buying these moments, Yeah, that's great on but to
actually have the piece from that moment is still getting

(17:48):
so much value. I'm with you. And if there's this
much value on Jordan's game and Jackie Robinson, you know
I mentioned I was guessing before you know, I don't
know Babe Ruth's debut. Rich gave me a little guessing
test on you know what was what? And if there's
that much value there, there's there has to be value
on other games that we just don't know about other events.

(18:09):
I mean, there's not an updated lists, but what I'm
seeing just with a simple Google search, because we don't
use our brains anymore. But when you google most valuable
sports memorabilia ever sold in an auction in the top ten.
Babe Ruth's contract, just the actual contract, almost a million bucks.
You got. Let's see Mark McGuire seventy home run ball

(18:31):
last time it went up for auction, three million dollars onus.
Wagner's cards are always out of control. Um, Babe Ruth's
jersey close to five millions. So Babe Ruth is gonna
be on this list. You're right about that. I think
my grandpap he has Babe Ruth's Goopolin paperboy head and

(18:51):
Dan hit us up on Twitter. Last week Kobe card
sold for two million, known as the best card in existence.
Two millions. All right, let's go to Tom and Arizona. Tom,
you are on Fox Sports Radio. Can be Tom understood.
These guys who collect collect these days like the elephant
man's bones or Napoleon's penis. I don't get it. No,

(19:12):
no resputants, Yeah, respute, Yeah, I got a I got
a question about the Rams quarterback and he if he
goes on the page and stays five more years of
be like over seventy thousand, five hundred touchdown, does that
get him in the hall with one hand? Does he
have to win a second one? I mean, Jim funk
is the only guy to get not get in with
two rings? And Eli not up to vote yet, and

(19:34):
does he does that get does that get him in
with one ring? And also does he like get it?
Thank you guys, I'll hang up. Listen. Yeah, Eli as
a whole other. Yeah, I think you know. I'll tell
you what ELI benefits. ELI beating Brady twice gets him
in period. ELI benefits you took the words right out
of my mouth, meat love rest in peace. The fact
that he beat Tom Brady twice and Eli Manning beat

(19:58):
the undefeated Patriot season, then he's a Manning and the
optics that he's a good dude. I don't know. I
think Eli gets in. Then Stafford put up those numbers,
but a lot of people say it's you know, garbage
numbers in Detroit. I don't know. That's that's a tough one.
Speaking of memorabilia, Eli did have that little scandal with memorabilia.

(20:18):
Remember got swept under the rug? Yeah, Manning's can sweet
things under the right. They're like they're like the birds
on a memorabilia scandal. Oh ja, that is true. Oh
Jay Simpson landed his button prison fin Hey, Twitter world,
all right, Chris and Iowa you're on with con retch. Hey, Hey,

(20:39):
thanks guys. Um. I do a little bit of collecting,
and you know, I have some UM cards for or
not cards, but ticket stubs from games that I went to.
And you know, the conditions are the conditions are great, um.
And I think a lot of stuff on this auction
market it's about what condition it's in and how well

(21:00):
it's been held up and whether or not you you
kept it for you know, for the memory, or whether
or not you kept it with the intent to hang
onto it. Um. And I also wouldn't be surprised if
you see a lot more of this stuff as we
go to a more digital world and hard copies of
things just become where you know, you can buy old,

(21:21):
old video games, you know, for ridiculous prices, just because
you know they're just not that MANI out there anymore. Right, Thanks,
even a guy like me who keeps these things I
haven't like in a rubber you know, in a rubber band,
so because I kept them from my own little, you know,
personal collection. If you want something to have value, have
to get it great and send it off to be

(21:42):
great and has to be gem mint. Now listen, when
you look at the most expensive sports memorabili ever, we're
looking at a lot of jerseys, boxing gloves, ticket stubs,
game warn things, baseball cards, basketball cards. I'm not gonna lie.
I've said this to you before. If I was balling
like millionaire billionaire, if I was Dicky Bezos Jeff Bezos style,

(22:05):
I always say, you like Dicky dB. Yeah, everybody's got
a price. Yeah, if I'm the millionaire, If I'm the
million dollar man, I want Abe Lincoln's top hat. But
all the memorabilia I'd want in the world of sports
wouldn't be like that jersey or something I'd want like
the dumb funny things like I want Bobby Valentine's mustache.
When he wore the Skies. I would want the bloody

(22:26):
sock of Kirk Chilling. I would want the items that
have like a really good story behind them, because just
having a jersey or a card that's not the that's
the talking piece. You would want. Some talking pieces have
a story, like the infamous story of David Wells when
he had pay Booth's hat he wore in a game.
Remember they made him take it off. So I mean,

(22:49):
you can have a nice piece of memorabilia still has
a story like Yo, it does baby Booth's hat in
a way, and then David Wells wore in a game. Wow.
So again, talking tickets stops. They're selling for high amount nowadays.
I got mine. He means something to me. How about
you want to go to uh Keith Keith in Jersey?
What's up? Keith? Do it? Yeah? I was thinking the

(23:13):
first thing right when Brady retired, When I was thinking,
if you remember his last touchdown was to Evans. If
I'm not mistaken, then he chucked that ball in the stands.
Imagine how much that dude was praying that Brady retires.
That means you caught his last football that he ever
threw in the in the NFL, the greatest player to
ever play the spot and let alone the tickets on

(23:35):
his first game. If I'm not mistaken, I think my dad.
I think my dad may have gone to that. I
have to do with check with him. But what do
you think about that ball? Is there any proof about it?
Or because Evans threw it in the stands, I'm pretty
sure that No, I'm pretty sure that's a follow up.
I'm gonna look it up. I remember that because no

(23:56):
one knew at that moment it would be the last touchdowns,
because I don't think Evans or any one was even
thinking about it. The guy put it, he's putting in
a fuction right then. That is the story. It's not
that it's not the bone head Danny g mid season.
It's like that was that was the record breaking touchdown,
his last touchdown. Yeah, I don't think anyone was thinking

(24:17):
about it in that moment. So, yeah, a fan got
it and it's going to be auctions off. I always
I always go to guys I find called catch a
baseball in a game or anything, or I was next
to that guy. You you you debate with the guy
right there, because what don't you leave the stadium. It's
not worth anything. You got to get it authenticated. Thank you, buddy.
How much is that piece of Evander Holyfield's ear go for?

(24:38):
That's something i'd want, That's something i'd want. You want that? Yeah? Yeah,
don't you million dollars for? Don't you have the Mets jersey?
Uh where Benny Bayanni won the hot dog getting contest
that I had ketch up and mustard on my friends.
My friend Michael wrapped us up in Miami that we'll
get an update from our buddy Steve to say, what's up, Mike. Yeah.

(24:58):
I was listening to uh some radio station this week
and they actually interviewed the guy who sold the ticket
for for the Michael Jordan's game, and what they said was,
or what he had said was he had heard about
the Jackie Robinson ticket that was being sold, or maybe
it was the previous Michael Jordan ticket was one of those,
and so he knew he had gone to that game

(25:18):
and the reason the ticket was unpunched is because somebody
gave him the two tickets and the other ticket was
just unused. He went to the game by himself. Yeah,
we had people hit us up saying, yeah, you forget
it's it's it seems like forever ago. But it's not
where you'd go to a game, you'd hand the ticket,
they tear it or they or they had like a

(25:40):
whole puncher, but you have the whole little scanning ticket
thing with the computer gun. That's that's relatively five to
ten years. By the way, Brady's last touchdown ball is
currently on auction on Leland's. The current bid is a
hundred and fifteen thousand dollars in let's go, let's do
let's do a go funds as Dan Patrick, Dan but

(26:02):
a KP. We'll do fifteen Yeah, his first touchdown pass
football when for like four d so this could fetch
maybe around the same, maybe a little more. It's cool.
I like your n f T thirteen days left. Let's
do it. Tangible items still have value. I like that
because I'm old school. I thinks for life. I'm old school.

(26:24):
Steve Comno, but rich mild take. There's something kind of lame,
like if you're wearing a concert T shirt of a
show you didn't go to. Feel like this false advertising.
So I know you're saying if in my uh, in
my office, if I had a game six eight six
World Series, and you weren't there. I'm the number one

(26:44):
meth fan, you know, but I wasn't there. I get
the value of it, like if it's presented and displayed
real nice in a plaque and the tickets there and stuff,
and you know, but you weren't there. That's kind of weak,
you know. So think about that for a minute, and uh,
we'll go to Steve. Just what up, Steve? Hello, here
we go, Hello, gentlemen. We got NBA eight games effect

(27:06):
on the Sunday schedule right now, five minutes to go
till halftime at Golden State Warriors leading fifty two forty

seven hundred times. In golf, cep Strata took the Honda Classic,
the first p G A winner from Austria. Back to you,
Welcome back, Vino and Riches, Fox Sports Sunday. Do you
have any member Billy Steve When I was a kid, Yeah,

(28:35):
which a saving ticket stuff like you were talking about. Yeah,
remember who autographed your first baseball, football, basketball any any
Do you remember your first autograph? Uh? Boy, the very first. No,
I do remember. I got a Raleigh Fingers autograph when
I had a broken arm. So he autographed my cast
just like my classmates. I want Raleigh finger mustache trimmings

(28:57):
in a zip buck bag. That to me that the
value of the value has to have value. U bit
Roberts is my answer. Remember the he was on the
padres at the time, baseball player from the nineties or eighties.
Bit Roberts that I just looked it up Abbott's Beckett's.
Beckett says, it's worth negative two dollars. Okay, I have
to I have to pay someone, ok negative two dollars.

(29:18):
Remember who you're because when when you think back right,
it was a different time. They would sell magazines or
publish mailing addresses of our favorite baseball players. You remember
that he's crazy. You could write. You could write to
your team and hope that they send you something back.
This is very random, but I I did this once
and I had success. You would have thought I follow

(29:40):
up and do it again, but I never did. I
figured guys like Don Mattingley and Dave Winfield were way
out of my sort of wheelhouse of getting anything in return.
So I wrote to Bobby meets Him, who was a
utility fielder for the Yankees. I loved them. I remember Bobby.
He was my favorite player on the team at the time.
I rooted for the underdog. I wrote him, Dear Bobby
meets Him, You're my you Yankee. I love Steve Comin.

(30:02):
Yeah yeah, And I said no, no. I sent some cards.
I love if if you autographed these, and you know
I root for you all the time. Love Steve Cavino
seven tops, Let's good border, Yeah, eight six, eighty seven.
Dude sent them all back autographed with some Yankee you know, memorabilia,
Yankee pen like all this Yankee stuff. You would have
thought I would have said, oh wow, you have thought

(30:24):
I wrote to Steve Bomboni after that, but I did.
I stopped that Bobby Meet You, But I do have
one last question. According to Steiner Sports and Autograph, Bobby
Meetr card from the eighties, surprised you're buying one last question,
though again we're talking about ticket stuffs because they actually

(30:45):
have value. The Jordan's Jordan's Debut eighty four debut and
Jackie Robinson's sold for about half a million. UM. If
you were to go into your shoe box of of awesome,
wherever you keep your little mementos, what is your greatest
ticket stub or lanyard? If you work the event? I

(31:08):
mean we work in the industry. A super Bowl that
I've been through probably probably probably a super Bowl and
like a little plastic sleeve, it's a massive heavy weight bound, right,
and you got the credentials for that. Well, to wrap
up the memorabilia and the swag conversation, I will say,
this is something you could do. I used I made
fun of my brother for this. My brother did this

(31:29):
when he was like a teenager. I don't know why.
But if you have a little kid and you want
to get some freebees. My brother, we call him top Jimmy.
He's the king. Jimmy mailed wrote a letter two every
single team in Major League Baseball and faked his fandom like, hey,

(31:53):
Bothamore Orioles, I'm your biggest fan. Can you please send
me some cool stuff? I'm a little too, don't have
been a little say, um, Kansas City Royals fan, Hey,
Minnesota Twins, I'm a biggest fan, and no joke. There
was a time when I was in high school. My
brother was probably a little teenager at the time weekend

(32:14):
every week to be like, yeah, it was a package here, Jimmy,
you got a package from the Pirates. It was such
a poser thing to do because he wasn't a fan,
but he was like, let me see who writes yo.
Most teams got back to him. You gotta respect that
hustle though. You gotta respect that. So anyway, guys, hold
onto your ticket stumps. You may have a treasure you
don't know. We have something in a shoe box, a
cigar box, you know, in your rubber maid bin and

(32:36):
your storage wherever, and you're attic. You may have something
to value that you didn't even think anything, you know
anything of it. So cool story. I like it well.
Today and this weekend is the tenure anniversary of one
of the greatest sports quotes of all time. We will
get to that next and pay tribute to some of

(32:56):
the great moments in sport quote history. Next right here
on coven On Rich. Yeah to him, he's the king,
and he also somebody caught the reference. I love it.
And he also emailed and mailed packages to every MLB
team brother Tom Jimmy shouting him out. What up? Kevin

(33:17):
and Ritch on Fox Sports Radio the number if you
want to say, what's up? Eight seven seven on Fox
whoa Jimmy. Um, We're gonna get to a bunch of
random stuff today. Again, this is the time of the year.
We just say this is the armpit of the sports stuff,
especially with no spring training on the horizon, Like the
arm pit is being nice. I wasn't use another party

(33:37):
part to describe this. Before the show, Danny g I said,
I said to you today, I said, today's where personalities
must shine. Yeah, this is where shows like ours really coming.
Handy sports calendar because during I remember when football season started,
I would get calls occasionally with some listeners saying, tell

(33:58):
him to get back to the NFL talk, stop clowning around.
But then when NFL is over, I need some guys
who are good at clowning around. Yeah. You know, what's
the analogy. Do you ever see when the teleprompter goes
out in a news broadcast and those guys don't know
how to think on their feet and they're like, I mean, like,
that's a lot of sports people over Yeah, exactly, And

(34:19):
we're the guys that can roll up. The teleprompter goes out,
Ordino and Rich the sports. The sports prompter went out.
In fact, I do want to get to the great
quotes in sports because it is the anniversary of one
of the best. But uh, well, we'll touch on this
a little more later. But MLB tomorrow's the day. Hunh.
They don't come up with some of the tomorrow, we're
looking at a delay in the start of the season,

(34:41):
a reduced schedule. And then I wondered, there's no updates.
They suspended talks until tomorrow for baseball. Man baseball struggles already,
you know, so to add this to it. Well, I
was also thinking, like, it's a silly question, but I've
seen no one really answer it. In what increments do
they start to postpone or canceled. Danny j is like,

(35:02):
all right, we don't have an agreement five games after
schedule or do they immediately be like, hey, listen, no
agreement now we're at one forty games. Step even within
the thinking of that, no, because the players are saying, hey,
whatever we miss will make up, and they're like you
and MLB saying no, you're not, you're not gonna you know,
if you miss the game, you lose the game. But
I mean they could say, well, we haven't come to

(35:23):
an agreement by Monday, we're gonna miss games. But that
could be well, now we're gonna play one fifty six
and stead of one sixty two, and you you missed
six games. But it could very well be coveno that
right out the gate, they're like, all right, you know what,
we're gonna push this back, push us. It's a hundred
and twenty game season, and right out the gate you're
you're losing games. Could very well be a blessing in
disguise for baseball. You don't know, right, I mean, think

(35:45):
of the changes that need to be made. Anyway, we
may look back and say, you know what, it's like
that that basketball season that started on Christmas? What year
was that? It's the best one. We're like, hey, you
know what, that was a great season. It was just enough,
just the perfect amount, a hundred twenty seven games. Although
I want the season to start, you know when it's

(36:06):
supposed to start, because I'm a fan, he might be
with baseball needs Yeah, you listen, Football is the only
sport where people would lose their mind if they lost anything, right,
you want more. It's like, all right, now, seventeen games,
we got sixteen, we need seventeen. I want to be
surprised of eventually that well, I think eighteen Johnson, They're
gonna figure this out. But baseball, you're right if they

(36:27):
said one twenty blessing and disguise, possibly for the fan
because it means a little more. You know, it's a quick,
quicker season. But they're not gonna want to MLB what
what is the day rate that guys like Garrick Cowen
shares Er will lose like hundreds of thousands of dollars
a day, I mean money to franchises lose money again,

(36:48):
you know, they think of how many people go to
those games. You're talking about canceling forty games? Uh, forty
two games. That's that's that's twenty one nights in each
stadium of hot dogs being sold, no beer being sold,
no jerseys and T shirts or anything. So want to
give up that money. By the way, that NBA lockout
you were talking about eleven hundred and sixty one day

(37:11):
lockout started on July one that year ended on December eight. Yeah,
so December that season for whatever reason, it just it was.
It just felt perfect. It was it was the perfect
amount of NBAS perfect amount. So maybe looking back in
retrospect will be like, you know what, that two baseball
seasons perfect means that there's guys on Fox Sports Radio

(37:34):
and FS one that they are honed into the NBA
from day one, like guys like Nick right right, he's
he's talking about the NBA in the middle of the
football season. Not that I can't compartmentalize, which, by the way,
the word compartmentalized, we have to compartmentalized. It's the only
way to say compartmentalized. Somebody owes you five dollars, So

(37:54):
I look at it and say, until football is over,
I can't be focus on the NBA. Now is when
I feel like you're playing catchup, Like all right, let me,
let me reassess the NBA. Where we're at and who's
peaking and where teams are going. So, man, especially with
no baseball, a lot of eyes on the NBA. A
bet NBA wins. Sure. I said, today is the anniversary.

(38:16):
This weekend is the anniversary, the tenure anniversary. It's anniversary
Tony Tony, Tony style, It's anniversary dinnversary. It's the anniversary
of one of the greatest sports quotes I think of
our lifetime. Glad do you say that though, because I
feel like sometimes you disagree with me just for the
fun of it, just for the smell of it. But

(38:37):
when Rich and I agree, Covino and Rich, when we
agree as fact, uh and we agree, this is one
of the best. You know it but still underrated. Ten
years ago a guy by the name of Pete Webber
said this, who do you think you are? I thank you?

(39:01):
And he goes on some crazy rant after that, though
I thought, I kind of he's like, you know, Chris
now his wife or something you look at. I mean,
he never finished a sentence. He was just kept restarting
his thoughts and my dad, Dick whatever, I know, you

(39:22):
love him. He went on this crazy ran afterwards. But
that is such a great quote. I don't know what
it means, but I think I know what it means,
like who do you think you are? Whoever you think
you are, whatever you think you are, you're not because
I am I love that. Who do you think you are?
So he's saying, like, who do you think you're? Like
I think you think you're the man. I am another

(39:46):
great one, another great one. I mean, let's throw him
out there. Eight seven seven nine Fox. It was like,
you know how the moon landing, they had like a
quote prepared, like it's one small step for a man. Yeah,
but it came out one small step for man. I
think Pete Webber had something that's planned in his mind
and it just came in the in the heat of
the moment, came out wrong. No, I think no. I

(40:08):
think that was the heat of the moment, and that's
exactly how it came out. He's like he's been in
his dad's shadows. Dad is the infamous Dick Webber, you know,
bowling legend. Yeah, no, I don't. And you know people
are like, yeah, whatever, Pete Webber, You're never gonna be
Dick Webber. And he wins his tournament. No one expects
him to. You know, he was feeling his mustache that
day and he just you know, everything just exploded perfectly

(40:30):
at once. Well do you think you are eight seven
seven nine nine on Fox? Your favorite sports quotes? The
best ones. We'll get to him next right here on
Covino and Rich uh My teleprompters out, I don't have
to say, hey, welcome back. We are Caveno and Rich

(40:51):
on Fox Sports Sunday. We are Coveno and Rich with
Spotty Danny g Ramo, Steve de Sager. We're just that
is in the building. What's up, Greg? Thanks for hanging
out with us. Eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.
It's uh one of those days, like you said, no
more football, were the the armpit of the season. You

(41:12):
had a different body part you were gonna say. Not
a whole lot going on, which means we could have
some fun. We can take your phone calls. I hope
you're having a great weekend. Eight seven seven on Fox.
Hit us up at Coveno Enrich. What's up to our
people listening on Fox Sports Radio dot Com, the I
Heart App and s x M eight three Again Cavino
and Rich. It's a very special anniversary of one of

(41:35):
our favorite sayings. We've been doing radio for a long
time and one of our favorite sayings was from Pete Weber,
who do you think you are? Well? The thing is
he sort of loses it in the moment, and let's
be honest, I mean, think of the setting. It's bawling, which,
by the way, on a total side note. I want

(41:56):
to start a team. Anyone here on the West Side
want to start a team with me? Danny G what
are you doing on Wednesday night? I want to start
a team. Call it strike Force or something cool like that.
You could be Tito Santana. I'll be Tito Santana. You
could be who is it? Rick Mortell? You could be
Rick Mortell, the model. Um let's go to your phone, calls,
your feedback, your favorite sports quotes, the right o, the

(42:22):
Pete Webber one, just for the just for the record,
ten years ago, little time stamp feel old yet I
feel like I remember that like it's bowling. So for
him to be so amped up like that is what
makes it stands out stand out even more. But you
think about it, he did live in his dad's shadow
a little bit. But Pete Webber, pet w he's the

(42:42):
guy and he let the world know that day. And
I love that quote. Who do you think you are?
I am Yo Ramos? I heard you play the other
one before. I'm a man, I'm forty a man. That's
my Gundy. That's a famous you know, sad about the
famous quote. Sad about that as when I first heard it.
I'm like, yeah, he's old, right, and then you turned

(43:03):
forty and you're like, he's young. You know what the
best quote is though, Like, I don't want to steal
the thunder from everyone calling up to say what's up.
Appreciate you guys hanging out with us eight seven seven
ninety nine Fox, but I'll never forget when you know,
he's one of my favorite players. Going up Reggie Jackson, Mr.
October sort of like I don't know something. He just
I don't know what happened to him, but he was like,

(43:24):
I must kill the queen. Remember that, don't honestly that
before you were probably born. He did say, I'm the
stir I'm the straw that stirs the drink, which is
a straw that stirs one. Speaking of the Yankees, there's
a book of yogisms, but my favorite might be baseball

(43:44):
is mental, the other half is physical. I quote Yogi
every day on the show when I say it's getting
late early. You know, he had a way about him
that he would just say things and they were yogiisms.
It's getting late early doesn't even make sense, but it does.
So we're gonna go over some of the greatest quote,
which one stood out to you as we honor the
great Pete Webber. Ten years later, ten years later, on

(44:05):
this day, Ben in Missouri, you're Ben, what's up? Ben?
I hate to admit it as a chief fan, but
Al Davis let's just win baby, all Davis, just win baby. Um.
He had a lot of good drops. Yeah, like the
great any relation to you, Rich No, Uh, I'm gonna

(44:27):
get the haircut of his son though. Yeah. Um, speaking
of the NFL, I mean the one that we You
say it all the time and probably don't realize how
much you say it. Can't wait, Bart Scott, can't wait?
We actually here's what happens. Like you start to make
things your own and he's sort of like, I don't
want to say you make it better, but when I

(44:48):
do it, and when we do it, I'm like, can't wait.
But it's really can't you really emphasized that, can't emphasize
it in a different way? Remember like his head was
all steamy, Remember that you can't wait? I love that,
Bart Scott. Um, let me give you another one and
then we'll go to John and Chicago. I don't know
what made me think of it, but remember Tara Owens

(45:09):
crying that's my quarterback. That's my quarterback. I remember me.
I'm like, that's my quarterback. John and Chicago, what's up man?
Given Rich's uh second time calling and love the show.
So you gotta derailed me from my original subject. But
you want to go with quote to be Havny and
Jerry Jones Andy, I like the old I want some

(45:30):
more glory hole. Um. Anyways, did Jerry Jones say that
or producer Spot Jones? Probably, but probably both of them.
But anyways, uh, you guys got me, uh tickle pink.
You're sitting here talking about collectibles. Man, I was out
of town working. I had, like, uh, I grew up,
you know, collecting football cards, NBA cards and uh you

(45:53):
know every every baseball cards, Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie car
toy even you know Brett Farve all this stuff. Anyways,
I had my my collectibles, uh my car collections stored
up in the attic. And when I was out of town,
somebody broke in my house. Then not only went up
in the attic, they took a fan, like an actual

(46:15):
fan that blows air, like you know, just a little
box fan. I'm like, dude, I'm surprise they didn't take
the broom in the dust fan everything. Huh yeah. But um, anyways, uh,
I wish basually baseball baseball would just get back into it. Man,
I'm actually looking forward to it now that football has
gone well. You might have to wait longer than you think.

(46:37):
Who knows, tomorrow is a big day. Um, let's go
to Daniel in Phoenix without Daniel, Hello, big fan as well. Guys, Um,
when you said greatest sports quote, I thought we were
talking about practice and Allen Ivers were talking about practice.
You could yeah, yeah, that's a good game. We're talking
about practice. It's funny you can't even hear practice without
thinking that that's what I'm talking about. Like, there's there's

(46:59):
a lot of memorable quotes in sports, but some are
just like you hear practice here, practice you're talking about
and and uh, Rich, I see riches qewing one up
right on his Google here. That's the same. Like when
you hear practice, do you think Allen iverson? But when
you hear playoffs, what do you think? Rich? Do you

(47:21):
think Jim Mora like playoffs playoffs but like his voice,
his voice cracking and the like the disgust like playoffs.
Playoffs are you kidding to me. I mean two separate quotes,
two separate sports, but like one word, and every time
I hear that word or by saying this, I totally

(47:44):
think of it. Playoffs. I have one. I have one
for you guys, the late great Denny Green. They are
who thought they were and we let them off the hook.
We are. Yeah, that's a great one, man. These are
these are all these are all great. They were you
know listen. Comino made a great point though. There's certain
words like if someone says I can't wait, you think Partscott,

(48:06):
someone says playoffs you like playoffs practice, playoffs practice? Yeah,
that was honestly, because just one word and you follow
up with that. Those those two might be the most quotable. Well,
when something leaves such a cultural impact, like I'll give

(48:27):
you a lame example, but when someone says umbrella, someone
in the room is thinking ella, ella, hey, Like Rihanna
has infiltrated your mind. Like there's their songs and athlete quotes.
There's a lot of things in pop culture that has
infiltrated your brain that you really can't think normal. Like
there's some good quotes in sports, and we'll leave those,

(48:48):
Like someone says good luck. You don't you just automatically
picture Liam Neeson good luck when the person says good luck,
when the president says it, good luck. Like for example,
you know you miss a dred percent of the shots
you don't take. That's a great quote, and everybody knows,
Oh that's Wayne Gretzky, you miss a hundred percent of
the shots you don't take. But people don't necessarily quote

(49:08):
that as much as they say playoffs practice. So anyway,
the numbers eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, as we celebrate Pete
Wember and his amazing quote, which one stand out to you? Ella, Ella, Hey, hey, hey,

(49:32):
it's in your head, right. I can't see umbrella without
the LA can't. Are you saying that you can't see
umbrella without thinking about Rihanna? It's true. That is Cavino.
I'm Rich coven On Rich on Fox Sports Radio, Danny
Gez here, spots here, Ramos on the ones and twos,
and the Sakers got the update, and you guys and

(49:53):
you ladies, everybody at eight seven seven nine nine on Fox,
We're gonna go to your phone calls, and then there's
a couple of little updates in the world of MLB.
If you're a big baseball fan. Um, we'll clear a
few of the rumors up. How about that? Yeah, we
got the scoop from Scoop's Callahan. Scoop's Callahan will be
chiming in with all the baseball No. How so, going
over the greatest quotes in sports because it's the anniversary

(50:17):
of Pete Webber's who do you think you are? I am?
I just you know something I still say to this day,
even when I argue with whoever I say that, I
heard you said it to your girlfriend once. I didn't
want to sound like an aggressive guy, but you know

(50:37):
one of my favorite ones, which before we go to
the phones, A seven seven fox. It's not even that
it was that memorable when it happened, but it lives
on social media, which you know, made it viral somehow.
I don't know the blueprint of what and why things
go viral. But when Jim Gray, he's talking to Mike Tyson,

(50:58):
is like, I broke my back, Like I mean, Mike,
you broke your back. I broke my back spinal like
come on, you know, anytime, even like till this day,
Deante Wilder style to this day, to this day, to
this day, this is a very famous quote. That's the
bronze bomber Deante Wilder till this day, but till this day.

(51:21):
Any time you hear someone say something about like my back,
someone's into jumping back. I broke my back. I broke
my back, final final, I broke my back right when when?
What do you mean, Mike, you broke your back? Spinal
you come on my noises, my back is broken. Final Final.
The crazy part about that is even when that sad
story where the girl fell off the stage at the

(51:43):
RAMS celebration and they're like, she broke her back, my
first thought was, Spinal, I broke my back. I had
to say it. I thought that, what do you mean?
You broke your back? Mic? I broke my back broken.
I'm a I'm a fight fan, Like I don't think
I remember that, but it lives online and you become
a famous quote. So we're going to you now the

(52:04):
ones that stand out. There's great quotes that maybe don't
have the longevity. I'm just thinking of, like everyone, Richard
Sherman shut down Crabtree and he's like, sorry, cram Tree,
remember that like in front of Aaron Andrews and speaking
of Aaron Andrew, didn't you say something that he says
something Brady? That was his quote? Man, you mad bro?

(52:28):
Play take me through it the best corner of the
game when you try me? What a sorry receiver like
crab Tree? That's the result you're gonna get. Don't you
that we're talking about me? Who was talking about you? Crabtree?
You don't you want me? You're not best you real quick? Well? Hey,
the phones are all the Cousins. You like that? That

(52:49):
was that was a big Kirk Cousins. You like that? Um,
the super handsome Jimmy Grappolo, remember Aaron Andrews Like, Yo,
feeling good, baby? I got one. I'm just here so
I won't get it. Find Marshawn. You know what, here's
the thing and before we go to the phone, because
there's no wrong answer here. We're having fun talking about it.
But some of them are quotable when they weren't necessarily

(53:10):
meant to be quotable. Like any time I hear the
words struggling, I think it's Joe nameeth. I think it's
Joe nameeth. I don't care about the team struggling, struggling.
I don't want to kiss struggling. I mean, that's any
time here, struggling, struggling, struggling, struggling, struggling, Curtis in Texas.

(53:41):
What's up man, Comine Rich? Ye, never forget the famous
line of sometimes I feel like cutting off my wings
by Bruce Jenner. So dumb, I don't remember saying that
one JP and Providence. What's up? Comino? Rich? So many
how my goes? You know you believe in miracles. But

(54:02):
since you went Teo Santana and Rick Montell, I gotta
go the nature boy, Rick Fla. If you want to
be the man, you gotta beat the man. You know what, Man,
you just open up this conversation into a whole other
arena because we know because when it comes to wrestling,
I mean there's so many Randy Savage. When Randy has

(54:24):
the million quotable quote, the cream will rise to the
top and he does the Bacho Man's legendary are such
famous quotes, their T shirts, they're bumper stickers. They're like
they're ingrained in our mind. You know, we we say
these things all the time. You know that's my takeaway here,
Rich to be honest. Rick Flair styling profile and limousine rideing,

(54:45):
jet flying, kiss, stealing, wheeling and dealing. Yeah, I mean
Rick Flair has some legend everyone. So let's go to
Vegas and Ben what's up? Ben? Hey? Guys? Great show?
Thanks Ben? Hey. So one it keeps popping through my
Actually in football season is uh the great Dan Wilkins
Colorado Universities is uh? Uh? This is Division one football, baby,

(55:09):
They saying the intermurals like that, there you go, Uh
Scott and k C What up? Scott? The first one
that I have two real quick, if you'll indulge me.
Jerry Grandville when he told the rep this is the NFL.
So I'm a stands for not for long. When you
keep making play, keep making calls like that. By the way,

(55:32):
there's uh, thank you, buddy. There are times Spot made
a point where there are times where the quotes come
out where like you feel as though they sort of
messed up. Like I feel like the Pete Webber that
we're celebrating the tenure anniversary actually think it's a messed
up thing. Are you know? Like remember when Mel Gibson

(55:52):
that audio of him being a maniac yelling at his
ex wife came out and he's like, you know, I
am right now. I keep like he was just saying
words like something. He says, you've no right now, You've
know you've no right now? You know right? Do you
watch Space Force on Netflix, Steve Carrell, I don't. It's

(56:12):
like some dumbinant. It's like if you like The Office,
it's not as good by far, but it's still entertaining.
They go to the moon and the young African American
woman steps on the moon and she had a whole
speech planned out, and she what comes out of her mouth,
it's great to be black on the moon. And everyone
at Nassay's like, like I again became a T shirt

(56:32):
and became it became viral and everything like but it
was like a mistake, Like she had a whole like beautiful,
like I'm the first woman and like that's what she said. Well,
let me let me ask you this. By the way,
Season two of Space Wars came out last week. Really
buy my space pants and check it out space Pants. Um,
you know we opened it up to wrestling now sports bowling, uh,

(56:55):
but for fun, because we're big Rocky fans. What's Rocky
Rocky bumb Boa. You know what's his famous quote? Because
the one that comes to mind to me. I mean,
there's so many sticks. Its whole place stinks. But as
far as motivational, it's a let me tell you something.
You already know. The world they know sunshine and rainbow

(57:17):
of rainbow speech. But by the way that everybody, I
don't even like it that much. Everybody. Do you know
it's from Rocky Balboa. Yeah, it's from Balboa. It's not
even from the original. Very mean and nasty. Please now, okay,
how to if you are it will beat you to
your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You know who plays his son in that one, My

(57:37):
little bent Amilia Jack from this is us. No mil Ventimilia.
I was right the first time, Thank you. I mean
most famous as Jack. What do you think Milo Ventimilia
is best known for, not the number one? Like you
asked me a question, Peter, wasn't Jack. The answer was
my Little Bentimilia. But Rocky Balboa for whatever reason, like

(57:57):
he has so many great quotes people or public or
social media loves to loves to quote the life's not
all sunshine and rainbows and what's crazy? Is that Balboa
the Rocky Balboa movie, the sixth Installment. I loved it,
but it doesn't have the hype of the ones when
we were growing up. It's not an Academy Award winner,
or it doesn't have the like the fun hype of

(58:18):
Rocky four when we were kids Cold War in the eighties.
Balboo was a good movie. But that quote, you're right,
if you were to quote Rocky, it's nothing from the
original Rockies. That's the quote. It's about you get and
keep moving. Is that whole speech? I feel like in
the other Rocky, in the other Rocky movies, Apollo and
Mick have better quotes. I got one. There is no

(58:40):
tomorrow there is that's come on. That's a that's a
great one. Right, So hey, we're opening it up. We'll
take your phone calls. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
It's the armpit of of sports right now. So we're
having fun. Thanks for having fun with us, Fox Sport Sunday,
Caveno and Rech Who do we got? That is Jeremy
in case? What has spoken? What's up? Um? Anytime I

(59:06):
meet anybody named Ricky, I go back to boys in
the Hood. True you know, I thought he was gonna say,
there's gonna go some Ricky Bobby stuff. I thought he
was a tight into come on, rick give him the
heater he went, he threw me. Yeah, yeah, he going

(59:26):
to give me some Rick Vaughan stuff. I thought it
was gonna be Rick Vaughan or something. Yeah, you ain't kidding.
He went boys in the hood. I kind of think
of anything that we're missing because we can move on.
A lot of people call, but we could. I want
to get the phone Phil in Kentucky. We'll go to you, Phil.
What up? I've got a bad story on the pret weverthing.
And then I've also got a sports let Scotty Pippen

(59:47):
mailman Don de every on Suntime. And then if you
go back and watch that Hope Bowing match, he missed
a spirit and there was a guy that teered and
he got mad about sportsmanship. So whenever he ended up winning,
but I think he was yelling at that guy. You know,
it's so funny man, because he loses it. Like I said,
I feel like all of his frustrations come out in
that moment. So great. It really is a great moment.

(01:00:10):
And and by the way, I'm not even being facetious
when I say it. I love watching poland I grew
up polling, I love pawling, So for me, it is
one of the greatest quotes. I do like that moment,
but I don't know if I remember that backstory. But
it's the anniversary again ten years ago. Pete Webber, who
do you think you are? I am? Who we got next?
That is Kevin in Alabama? What's up Kevin? Hey? How

(01:00:31):
are you guys? Listen? I don't know if you mentioned
this one yet, but all the ones you mentioned are great,
and I love all the rants and everything, but this
one made it to the top of my list recently,
and I can't watch a football game anymore without thinking
about it. When it happens when you're finished with something,
brand Musburger, second down in nine, Thank you, Keif, Thank

(01:00:53):
you Buddy Connor and mass what's up Connor? I got
one for you? How about Johnny Most how a check
stole the ball? Let's go to thank you Connor at
least seven to be not as good as others, but
I don't want to be me. I'm just are we
going to open it up for sports announcers? Zero feedback?

(01:01:15):
You're just like, Okay, you know what am I gonna
What am I gonna say? Connor? I appreciate your support.
I like the guy, and I was like, what the past?
What the past? With the past? What the past? All right?
Who do we got next? Oh? By the way, to
answer this, uh, Pete Webber has addressed this. What does

(01:01:37):
he say? I guess what everyone? This is what he says, quote,
I guess Whatever he wants to know is where did
I come up with? Who do you think you are?
I am well being caught up in the moment of
throwing the strike and being as as excited as I was.
This is Pete Webber. I had a kid runing against
me during the match and he was doing it loud

(01:01:57):
enough for me to hear, and it kind of be
mad these guys of media and people know, don't make
me mad mania. He's like the mac and Row because
I'll just get better when I'm mad. But what I
really wanted to say was who do you think you're
rooting against? I'm the man I told you. I told
you you were right, like in the moment and it

(01:02:22):
so so this is what people ever wanted to say,
much like spaceports or the actual moon landing. Right, He
wanted to say, who do you think you're rooting against?
I'm the man, and it came out, who do you
think you are? I'm gonna get I think I'm gonna

(01:02:42):
get that tattooed somewhere. Yeah, it's a good idea. You
won't regret that. Thanks, all right, um, comin and rich
to Sager, let's get an update my butt. Well. Tomorrow,
negotiators for the locked out MLB players and owners will
meet again in Florida. Tomorrow, of course, is the date
that MLB at least set as a deadline to salvage

(01:03:02):
the season openers on March thirty one. So they had
some talks today. Things resumed ten am Eastern time tomorrow
at MLB. The players don't agree. MLB says that by
the end of the session tomorrow, whether it's day or night,
either there's a deal, which doesn't seem likely, or the
league will start to cancel regular season games. I'm seeing
I'm seeing things, Steve where they're saying the sides are

(01:03:24):
quote far apart on the eve of the deadline. That's
not I mean you sort of want to think, like
like getting negotiation, think about it with work with on
air people on a radio or TV station, at contracts
with players, like you know, usually it's like, all right,
we're making progress. They're far apart. Well they have had
some progress, but the major stuff like the luxury tax, yeah,

(01:03:45):
absolutely they're far apart. So if you're far apart on
only say a couple of issues, I mean minimum pay
is another one, taxes, then yeah, you are absolutely far apart.
It's the worst part of it's the worst part of
the game. You ever see that famous quote, worst part
of the game. A little kid taxes alright ahead, and
there's gonna be another discussion because once we start canceling
March thirty one April first games and beyond, players are

(01:04:08):
gonna say, hey, we can still schedule doubleheaders, right, we
can still get full pay for a full season, And
the owners are gonna say no, and then they're gonna
have to settle that as well. It's not gonna get better.
As for the NBA, Philadelphia one at New York today
one one oh nine. That's five straight losses for the next.
James Harden a triple double including sixteen assists, Joel Ebad

(01:04:28):
score thirty seven points. Utah one at Phoenix one eighteen
one fourteen. Devin Booker did have thirty points in defeat,
but the Son's record now forty nine and twelve. Yes,
their first place in the West, but about to go
to five games, not five and a half over Golden
State because the Warriors are still leading early fourth quarter.
It's Golden State seventy four over Dallas Steph Curry twenty

(01:04:49):
two points and nine assists, and Detroit and Houston each
have chances at wins there in the final seconds. Pistons
leading at Charlotte one sixteen to one fourteen, and the Rockets,
who have a similarly awful record Like the Pistons, Rockets
are only down late against the Clippers, also in progress.
Nuggets have started there up twenty to sixteen at Portland

(01:05:12):
late in the first quarter. College hoops one week left
in the regular season. Wins in the top twenty five
for Houston, Illinois and Yukon at Maryland. The turp speed
number twenty two Ohio State sixty. Maryland was five and
twelve in conference. Nebraska was one and sixteen in conference play,
but got a victory tonight at Penn State ninety three
to seventy and HL winners for Carolina and for Dallas,

(01:05:33):
which won four two over Buffalo, which has lost six
in a row. Kyle Larson won the NASCAR race in
Southern California. Austin Dylan finished second. Tampa Bay Bucks All
Pro guard Ali Marpet retired. He turned twenty nine. Twenty nine.
He turns in April and engulfed Sep Straca took the
Honda Classic back to you, Thanks Steve. My favorite ute.
By the way, I just found that it's uh, if

(01:05:54):
it's on the internet, it must be true, Abe Lincoln.
He did say that, Yeah, I remember that. Great again.
We are Fox Sports. We are Cavino and Rich. Hope
you're having a great weekend nine nine on Fox at
Covino Enrich on social media and if you like what
you hear on Fox Sports Sunday, hit us up on Patreon, Patreon,

(01:06:14):
dot com, slash Cavino Enrich Monday through Thursday. But this
is the highlight of our week, guys, kicking it with
you wherever you are. Thanks for being here with us.
Now we tired. We heard the update and a lot
of basketball going all right, that's where our attention focus
is now that football is over. Basics especially with baseball.
Not speak for yourself. I love ex throwing on the
other channel with the NBA. At this point of the season,

(01:06:39):
you know, you're in petitive corn hole. You're you're you're
gearing up for the playoffs. It's so it's so funny
because you play a full season in in every sport.
Obviously that's a dumb statement, but towards the end of
the season, it seems more so now than ever, like
teams are entering the postseason hot or revamped to the

(01:07:03):
point where it's like like the forty Niners this year
in football. I'm not just saying this because I'm a
Niners show, but they entered the playoffs and you know,
they were ten and seven, snuck in as a wild card,
but once the playoffs started, it was like, yeah, yeah,
they may have stuck in, but now we're in the playoffs.
The Niners can play with anyone. The championship rounds, man,
the fight fans like, oh, these are the championship rounds.
Like that was the feeling. The feeling was get in.

(01:07:27):
They're healthy. Now they're amped. Now they're ten and seven,
but they can get They beat the Packers, they beat
the Cowboys, they were beating the Super Bowl champion Rams
in the fourth quarter by ten. So sometimes the team
that's hot going in is as good as anyone. And
I just want to throw it out there and then
we'll get back to your phone calls about nonsense. But

(01:07:49):
just keep in mind where the Brooklyn Nets are going
to be in a month room now. If Kevin duran
and Ben Simmons and people are healthy and Kyrie is
able to play every game because COVID stuff is lifted,
that team might be ready at just the perfect time
where they're a team that's plainting slightly over five hundred
basketball get in, and who's gonna want to play that team?

(01:08:13):
Danny g Who's gonna want to play the Nets? If
Durant and Simmons are healthy and Kyrie could play every
game when COVID stuff is lifted, it's like they could
be They could be coming together at just the perfect time.
This is the argument that the regular season in the
NBA really does not matter. You get in, who's you
will want to play? Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons healthy, next team?

(01:08:37):
You can say that about a lot of playing five
basketball now that could be no. So like it's momentum
it's it's timing. And you know, these are all factors
that for everything for baseball for more than ever, more
than ever compared to when we were kids. Now it's
like teams have these strategies like you know, we're pofs uh,
let's go back to your phone calls and maybe we'll

(01:08:58):
touch on a little more nbent a little bit. But
just remember where the where the Brooklyn nets are right now?
And hey, look at the Sixers. James Harden playing like
he's got a little uh, a little strutting step, a
little revenge on his mind, but that he's all of
a sudden he could play again. And now, all of
a sudden, how bad would people want to see an
East battle at some point between the Sixers? And and

(01:09:18):
then that proves thought, you know what that proves James Harden.
It proves like I mean, we all know that he's capable, right,
but you know now he's putting up big numbers again.
It's like when you fight with your girlfriend or wife,
or you're in the dog house and all of a sudden,
you're doing all these nice things to you know, get
off the counch. You're capable of, always capable of all
these nice things all the time, and you're doing all

(01:09:39):
these little things all the time. When the laundry and
you brought and you brought me Starbuck, Like, where was that?
Where was that? I know? This is what you're capable of.
This is what you're capable of when when you wanted exactly, Uh,
Pete in San Diego. Let's go back to your phone calls.
What's up coming on? Rich got a sports quote for you.
Let's hear him. You're telling me Jesus Christ can't hit

(01:10:03):
a curve ball. Yes, Harris, my favorite Cleveland Indians picture.
Second to uh the wild thing, thanks Buddy, um Tony
quote was up your But Joe, can you tell me
two things Harris claimed to put on the baseball? Come on?

(01:10:24):
What what? What it was it? Harris? But I mean
I can make stuff up? Or was it a quote?
They say something? One of them put a little maybe
I put a little hall to pin you up my nose.
Get it running real good? And what was the uh
he did? Uh? Barbara Saul that was feminine proba believe
he said Fadger Hill was one of them. He had
a few things that he would put on the ball,

(01:10:46):
quoting Major League of course you don't know Tony in
Santa Clarita. Hey, League of their own. Tom Hanks are Ukraine.
There's no crane in baseball. It just crane and weird.
Was that a bad? Bad? Was it? Really? It was horrible? Ukraine?

(01:11:07):
Man struggling, I thought, I thought I was struggling, I thought,
but I thought that was too much of a stretch.
It must be a mean. I just thought he had
a weird accent, like like like like inventing Anna's accent
on Netflix. I thought that. I was like, did that
guy just say like, does he say crying? Like? I
thought that, but I was giving him the benefit of
the down. But then again, you say crayon weird? I

(01:11:29):
say crayon one, Yeah, c r A and any other
brainbusters Reno, Steve, what's up? Man? Could be known rich?
That guy's making me crane? I yeah, you know. Hey, Hey,

(01:11:50):
I'm a North Jersey boy living in Reno. Reggie Jackson
was my favorite. The Magnitude of Me, he said, And
I always thought that was cool. Magnitude and that is great. Yeah,
the Magnitude of Me. And Drago from Rocky had some
good ones like you will Lose and if he dies

(01:12:11):
he dies, I must put his best line fight for
me translation fight for me, for me, for me. Yeah,
that has some good ones, some good stuff. Ralph Irvin
the Superstar Update guy, no offense, Steve to say, a guy,
I do want to see you guys in a battle
one day for best sports update at least like a

(01:12:33):
mud wrestling comptance. You want to see Ralph and see
why it was so weird about that. Ralph convinced us
that we needed to watch the Rocky four re cut,
and he was right. If you are a Rocky it
was different, it was different. It was worth watching. It's
a it's not a different movie. But you realize how
much footage they did not use, what they took out,

(01:12:53):
what they put in the new version. But yeah, if
you if you're at a loss of what to watch,
because it is the armpit of the sports season, of
the sports year, the Rocky four re edit that Stallone
worked a year on, Danny G Have you watched it?
I have not. I feel like you would get it.
I feel like you'd be like interesting, especially coming from
Ralph Iffin. I think I may though, because yesterday on
one of the weekend shows, Ralph accidentally dropped an s

(01:13:14):
bomb during his update. It was so good. It was
so good, man, Ralph gets has Wow, Steve the Saker
is gonna say some crazy stuff coming out. All right,
we have more coven on Rich in your phone calls
next right here. On Fox Sports Radio, Yo Ramos is
on point today with our song references on point like

(01:13:35):
non point right now. Now. I'm hungry though, meat Loaf, Yeah,
stop it, meat Loaf mom. I'm a little hungry, but
rocking out on meat Loaf's behalf is Caveno and Rich
on Fox Sports Sunday eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Fox Sports Radio dot Com or Stomping Grounds sx
M ET three. Thank you guys for being here. We're
at Covino and Rich. On social media, you can find

(01:13:57):
me at Steve Covino speaking rocking, and I posted a
really cool picture of this guitar I have made of
car parts. Check it out at Steve Cavino. If you
don't believe me, Average Davis at Spots Center, and thank
you guys for being here. Tomorrow a big day Manyana Baseball.
Oh yeah yeah, why because I'm going I'm getting haircut.

(01:14:18):
Tomorrow's a big day because Major League Baseball decides what
what the future holds for now, and I'm convinced, um
because I'm a Mets fan and the Mets have high hopes,
there won't be a season just because the Mets actually
have what looks to be like a squad. You say
that about the Mets all the time, and it's true.
They always have great pitching and no one hitting for him.

(01:14:40):
So well, Sterling Marte might be the guy who knows
we all know that nothing's gonna happen by tomorrow, right,
can we all just you were listening to Steve the
Singer's we all, I mean, we are all hopeful, but
nothing's gonna happen. I felt like Steve the Sager was
a little too glass half empty for me. I'm more
of a gla have full type of guy. I'm like, oh, yeah,

(01:15:01):
Rob Manfred's involved, and every yeah, maybe they all know.
You're right, there's not too much. There's too much ego
at play from both sides. It's gonna take it's gonna
take way more time. Let me get you an analogy
at the beginning, middle and end of the day. And
I'm sorry, Rich, I want to hear your analogy, but
all it does is is lose younger fans once again.

(01:15:22):
So baseball does another great job of really just you know,
not gaining any supporters. Who's waiting. You know, older people
like yeah, come on, let's get out with the season.
Young people like yeah whatever, yeah, whatever, it's not a
young man's game that they're trying to gain young fans.
And they were on the right track with bat flips

(01:15:42):
and you know, letting these young guys have fun, but
a work stoppage and and it's a season that might
not the start is is not a good way to
keep any momentum going. That's for sure. Yeah, it's not
helping you know what. It's like you were saying, it's
it's you know, they're gonna butt heads on this. It's
sort of like when you have if you watch Ozark,
stop but hid. It's like, oh, if you watch Ozark,

(01:16:03):
which I just finished, season four comes back in April.
The last few episodes, it's like the Mexican Cartel and
the FBI, no one's gonna No one wants to budge
for the other person. When you have two people with
egos and cloud, no one wants a budge for the
other person. Do you think the players are gonna back
all right? You know what? Just what's goods this done? No?
They they both will stay strong. And I don't know, man,

(01:16:26):
what what would make you unhappy? If you lost? How
many games? Would you be okay? With a hundred and
twenty games season? Let's say the season started May one
hundred thirty games. Sounds good like we lost a month's
worth of games, because I feel like that's where we
should be at, anyway we should be on. Ask yourself

(01:16:47):
is ridiculous. Ask yourself this like I'm a fan and
that's ridiculous. Ask yourself this, well, answer this question. You
are a middle aged man, which sounds weird because we
are for yourself. What are you gonna live to? Two?
Maybe when you're an old guy sitting in a rocking
chair feeding the ducks, And that's quite pastic you got

(01:17:08):
and you got a little grandkids. I have a little
bell like the guy from Breaking Bad. Yes, yes, you're
an old Mexican guy in a chair with a bell. Yes,
when you're old Pepito sitting in your chair with a
bell feeding ducks. Years from now? Is the door or
am I not wearing for door? You're should be hopeful

(01:17:32):
you're not wearing a hospital gal um. Are you going
to see a baseball season that's still a hundred and
sixty two games? There's no way that schedule and everything
about baseball was built for the time of you know,
Babe Ruth, like that era. We don't live in that
world anymore. Is too you know, I hate to sound cliche.

(01:17:54):
We all know the problem. It's too slow. It's too
slow for kids. Kids are entertained and I say kids
meaning like you know, teens and twenties somethings are entertained
in seven to fifteen second TikTok increments, not a four.
And by the way, there were times where Cavino, you're
a huge Yankees fan, I'll give you credit. I can't
even do this. Cavino will sit through like the four

(01:18:14):
hour Yankees game where it's like a sixth. If the
Yankees are losing like eight two, Comino will still watch
a game I have. I've I have a three run
roun baseball, a four run if I've done in my
whole life. If a Grand Slam can't tie the game,
I'm turning the game off. If it's like middle of
the summer, I feel like you're you're you're not really
invested then if that's your mentality. Emmett in Olympia. You're

(01:18:36):
on with coven On Rich a fun Sunday. We're making
the best of it. Not much sports going on with U. Buddy,
Hey guys, how you doing? I want to talk about
drops and you know quote uh Ramost get ready, I
gotta ask you something in like a minute year But
one of my favorite drops is it's in the system.
It's Kobe White saying wow, Wow, Bro Wow, and then

(01:19:00):
the John do you have? I think it was Jonas
I heard this on the network. You saved a bunch
of the random people saying the name Joe Flacco. Is that?
Is that? Is that correct? You have that? Is it?
Joe Flacco? Montage nice? That is correct? I have a
bunch of Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco, Flacco, Joe Flacco,
Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco. I don't know what that's funny,

(01:19:23):
but it is. But why what's your wife's funny? But
it didn't make me Lebron James, Joe Flacco, Joe Floco funny.
I don't know why it's funny. Thank you? Almost Ramos
has taken request now Ramos has taken request four. The
hours over. I want to hear the new Ralph Irvan drop.
Can we hear that? Now, Ralph Irvan, let's hear it.

(01:19:45):
Burger all alone in first place after the third round

(01:20:26):
It is it is. I'm Covino, that is Rich. We're
at Covino and Rich. On social media is Fox Sports Sunday.
Spotty's here again, Ron Most is here, Danny g Steve
to Seger and thank you guys for hanging. Do you
have anything to say? Eight seven seven on Fox We'd
like to hear from you. I got something to say
before you even get to the phone calls and a
couple of fun stories in the world of sports. If

(01:20:48):
you're following this Golden State Dallas Mavericks game the whole game.
The whole game, the Warriors were whooping them. I mean, listen,
it's a three point game with eight seconds left. But
Dallas has outscored Golden State in the fourth quarter thirty
to thirteen. So this is a game that even during

(01:21:10):
the Stag's update, it's like he even referenced, like, well,
Golden States in control, so they should be five games behind.
I don't know much of a delay we're on right now,
but it's one oh four, one oh one. That's the update.
Eight seconds left, one oh four, one oh one, the Mavericks,
and they just fouled the Mavericks, so the Mavericks will
go to the line. But yeah, we're talking about a
fourth quarter fail thirty to thirteen. And as we speak, Rich,

(01:21:33):
I mean, Mavericks are a good team, but I'm saying
the Golden State that's a that's that's a home game.
You you give up a twenty point lead going into
the fourth quarter. Yeah, I mean, Mavericks are good when
they want to be. Luca turned it on as what
I'm saying that you can obviously turn it on great players,
but Also, as we speak, Mazzy Donald and Covington's beef
is trending on social media. Did you see that, Kobe

(01:21:57):
Covington and Mazzy dobbin beef and all day you have
C two seventy two, let's hear about it. It's honestly,
the beef is weird because they used to be pals.
That's the thing they used to be. That's the story.
The story is they used to be inseparable, hanging every day.
Now they're both hating on each other, talking lots of smack,

(01:22:18):
something about backstabbing backs. Yeah, I don't know the backstab
but or what it was. Maybe it was something they
call a blood feud. The blood feud goes back to
a brotherhood. Eight years together every single day side my side.
They were best friends. Now they're bitter enemies. You know what,
It reminds me of when Seawan Michael's kicked Marty Janetti

(01:22:40):
through the glass window. It's kind of honestly of the
barber shop. You're joking, but it's kind of like that
reminds me when when the when the Hulkster and Macho
Man and the Megapowers exploded. Brother, Yeah, I'm thinking of
like dumb wrestling references. But yeah, Covington says that Mozzy
Dolls the one person on Earth he doesn't given an
s about. Says he wants to send that guy straight
to hell, and luckily he gets to do it in

(01:23:02):
the octagon next Saturday. Can I give you one other
dumb wrestlinger? Obviously hold On Covington is is ranked number one,
He's the number one walter weight, mos Vy Doll is
number six. Usman is the champion. So you know, it's
a big fight. Whoever wins is probably going to get
another big shot. But it's not even about that at
this point. It's just all the back and forth and
with social media hyping it up. You know, people are

(01:23:22):
really you know, picking size and and and stirring up
the beef. The beef, I tell you, it's trending as
we speak. One of the last times he far remember
you got all those props from President Trump. Well, you
know it's funny is that's the one thing they do
have in common. And they asked Trump who he's rooting
for or something like that, and I think he's torn

(01:23:43):
on the subject because he's a fan of both guys. Well,
the fact will be huge Oh look look here, I
just read this. This is courtesy of I guess tmz um,
Mr President number forty five. Oh is not torn. He
knows where his loyalty stands. He knows the person that

(01:24:03):
put his whole platform for him. That's what No, that's
what Kobe said, Colby coming coming there. It is so
he's saying. Covington is saying that Trump is rooting for him.
But I think that Trump's a fan of both guys.
Look at that. So the beef grows. The beef continues
mas Vidal and fifteen, we have the best beef, just

(01:24:26):
the best. It's the best. It's the greatest beef. We
spaking of I made a couple dumb wrestling references. Let
me give you one more tweet I saw from at
the Dad tweeted this out. My friends is going through
a divorce, and he said, quote, you know nothing about betrayal,
Like I didn't see Hulk Cogan joined the n W
at the Best of the Beach in nineties six. That
is betrayal. But I'm curious to see what happens here. Well, hey,

(01:24:49):
it's great hype, right, it's great. UC to seventy two.
We need more that any other um updates on the
trend spot now all right, so anyway, we'll keep you
posted on that. So we'll keep you posted on the
game here, Mavericks up one O six one one seven
seconds left. So it looks like Dallas over Golden State

(01:25:11):
looks like a cool UFC beef going on, trying to
hype a fight up. And right now, I want to
tell you about something we call the look moth theory. Now,
Covino and Rich, we've been doing this for a long time,
so we have lots of stupid theories that we've come
up with throughout the years. And to look my theory
is basically just and it's cool because I would tell
these stories and then we would realize that everyone throughout

(01:25:32):
the country would now, yeah, yeah, I did the same thing.
So we named it the look myth theory. I mean,
the universal things that you thought you might have been
in the only person that did it. You're the only
kids not like, for instance, leaving you're shooting hoops by yourself.
You're like, if I get this three pointer in, she's
gonna like me. And you're like thinking of the girl

(01:25:52):
like you liked in like junior high, like who didn't
do that. It turns out everybody did that. Yeah, wait,
I'm not the only guy that shot like a three pointer.
Said oh, if I get the shot in, she's gonna
like me back. Exactly. Everyone did that. So we realized,
you know, I would tell stories about how I'd be
hitting three point buzzer beaters in my backyard, like I

(01:26:15):
was Steph Curry before he was even stuff, before he
was even Steph Curry, I was hitting three pointers. I
was hitting nothing but the bottom of the net, and
I'd be in such a zone. And then, of course,
the second you say, yo, look look ma look still
look my theory. Still look my theory. As soon as
she looks, you're just dang, you're just breaking everyone. You

(01:26:37):
built a guesthouse with all the bricks, Yeah, you're just
hitting brick after brick. Wait, but I was just hitting everyone.
I swear. I know, Steve, and I was watching. She
wasn't watching. She's just trying to make you feel good.
So he talked about this with Machine Gun Kelly. Machine
Gun Kelly puts a video on social media him draining
three pointers getting ready for the celebrity NBA All Star

(01:27:00):
Game weekend. Look at this hype video mg K who,
by the way, I happen to see on Friday night.
He was at the Avril Levine concert at the Roxy
out here in l A A five not not. He
walked right past me. I'm like, yo, this dude is big.
He's tall. Machine Gun Kelly um mg ky hype video
and everything plays like garbage. And as we said, he

(01:27:21):
must have felt bad about playing so poorly in the
celebrity game because Machine Gun Kelly had a reputation that
you know, he's he's obviously a great rapper and you
know rock star too, but he had game. He did
not show that game NBA All Star Weekend. Know what
is Maybe it's the pressure, obviously, right, But you know
I grew up thinking like my mom is the worst,
Like ever, Oh, you can never do nothing anytime my

(01:27:44):
mom look like that. I can never make a shot,
right because I'm trying to show off and the second
she wasn't there, I'm hitting everyone. And how many stories
have you heard, like of the kid who sucked it
literally but hit a home run when his parents weren't there,
showed up late like it was like his one home run.
You know, because kids and people put more pressure, I
guess on themselves, even subconsciously. I mean people, I've seen

(01:28:05):
people say, you know my friend, you know his girl,
it's a great singer. You're out having drinks at a
karaoke night and you're like, yo, she's a good singer,
and it could have just been the wrong song, or like, no,
the karaoke version was in the wrong key, and that's
because then then your buddy's like, yeah, usually she's much
better than this. It's the look moth theory. You told

(01:28:29):
it when we filled in for Dan Patrick. I don't
know how it came up, but the classic Cavino rich
story of Cavino you overhyped it and you were like,
Karreno's got the best story. It's not the best story.
It's just I was at I was at a banning
cage and see said nights and I was there with
my high school girlfriend. I mean, have to go I
have to go this far back to tell you about
my failures. I want you to know, Yeah, you've had

(01:28:50):
a good thirty run stretch. I mean, I mean kicking
ass for the last thirty something years. But I remember
I was at the banning cage and all of a sudden,
like my girlfriend, the times, entire family, the entire family, sisters,
their boyfriends, her parents, like her uncle, like the weird uncle,
like the whole family. He just came strolling by, and

(01:29:14):
my girlfriend goes, guys, guys, you gotta you gotta stop
and watch. He's really good. She's trying to sell me
to the family. Well, I mean, I'll back you up.
Cano you know, he was an all state baseball player,
got a baseball scholarship to college. So but but the
story goes the families watching you dude. But again, just
like any other look my theory story. I was hitting ropes,

(01:29:36):
frozen ropes. I was just I was slapping the ball.
Get at a. I was just you know, driving the ball.
By the way, I missed that feeling in a big
way of of the batting cage right like, oh, that
would have been home run. Definitely. It's a smacking it.
And the second that, you know, everyone was there behind me.
When I tell you this is the greatest example, Like

(01:29:57):
I went from smacking every ball to missing every actually
missing missing every single one. Oh, for those of you
watching Love is Blind, Danny J. You're watching Love is Blind, right,
how pathetic was it when that dude, Shane was at
Wrigley Field. Oh man, I can't I can't wait to
take batting practice at Rigley Field and all the other

(01:30:19):
people are were not athletes and changed like I put
college ball. And he was with dude and he you
could tell he had a nice swing. Yeah, it's whenever
you put too much pressure on yourself or hype yourself
too much, or you get in your own head, which
is exactly what he did on that episode. It was
it was pathetic and he hated himself afterward because how
many chances do you get to swing a bat at
a professional stadium. This guy missed every one of them.

(01:30:42):
So anyway, that was my story. I went from, you know,
just driving the ball to missing every one. Now, if
you asked me if I was, you know, putting pressure
on myself, the answer would be no. But it's subconscious,
you know, you don't even realize what's happening. And unfortunately
Rich had a look sort of a look dad theory
gone wrong to it. I'll explain. And by the way,

(01:31:02):
you see this a lot in the NFL where I'm
trying to blank. Now I should know because I was
such a oh so deep in the NFL this year,
there was a quarterback that got a spot start that
never would have should never have touched the field, like
there was something something COVID related. And I remember seeing
his parents in the in the stands. Who was it?
I'll never remember was it was it? The was it?

(01:31:23):
Goff was out and it was like Detroit's backup. Someone's
parents were there and this guy like was getting murdered
on the field and it's like, oh, they watch him
his whole life and he's doing terrible. Now he's in
the NFL. But well, today, my my my family's visiting
from the East coast. We live out here in l A.
But my family's all back east and Sunday mornings, now

(01:31:43):
that's not football season, we'll playing playing softball and my
dad comes to the game. By the way, Rich just
so you know, he plays with a bunch of like
seven year old guys, old guys. So he's really good, right,
and Rich takes I'm I got a back riche up now,
you know. Rich takes on stress hacks like he's Mike
Piazza on the Mets or something like just monster swings.

(01:32:04):
Nothing short or compact about his swing. He's not slapping
the ball. He puts every ounce of his strength into
every swing. Uh, but it's very piazza like to be.
I mean, when you're swinging for softball, I would say
it's not bragging when you're talking about softball ch hitting, Yo,
dannyg Ramos, I'm not even kidding you because I enjoy

(01:32:29):
it out of the post. That was a good ball player.
So as an adult, it's it's big, it's you know
what that is. That's like a that's like a fat
guy home run, Like you're you're you're hitting balls like
a fact. But again against a really good high arch. Okay,
and yeah, I'm I'm I'm you know those are hard.

(01:32:50):
Again bragging about softball lamest thing ever. But just for
the story purposes, I have to tell you a good
softball player and you're getting a lot of heights like
these are like high over high arc and I'm getting
bomb hitting bombs. My dad's actually visiting the studio right
now also because he was at the game. Y know,
first at bad I pop up to left field swinging

(01:33:14):
a bad pitch. Sorry, I love like, I love your
failure here. I think it's great. I And this is
where I had to bring this up only because you
recently brought the look my theory, but this is now
the look that theory. I guess too. It just happened.
And by the way, your dad, here's stories of you
hitting these monster bombs every week. And and the thing
is that the last time my dad probably what was

(01:33:36):
the last time hit a monster probably like high school
baseball and little league was the last time you know,
your parents were probably at a game or something you
played at, right, little league, high school, college? Yeah? Absolutely
so second at that, I get up runners on base,
I'm like, all right, I'm fine, now ready, I only
get the back Danny J. Would you believe something I've

(01:33:57):
never done my whole life in softball. I take a
monster hack like a like a nice low inside pitch.
I'm like, I'm gonna try to yank this one down
the line. I'm gonna try to hit a bomb here
in front of my dad. I gets just under it.
I hit a pop up to the catcher. You know

(01:34:18):
when you know, when you know when you hit like
the little blue to the catcher and it's out because
it goes above you. I was like, should be ashamed.
That's really embarrassing. You put too much oomp into that one, right,
I would imagine yeah, And it's just it's just how
do you pop up to the catcher. I don't think
I've done that my whole Oh did you Dad like
put his hand over his head. He goes, oh, I

(01:34:39):
might have to pinch hit for you next time. So
just just know that you are not the only person.
If if you're the type of guy that let's to
take it away from me, who cares about me? If
you play golf, if you're a great golfer and for
some reason you're on vacation and your wife comes golfing
with you and she's like, I know you golf with
your buddies and you and you know you you you
always talk about what a great golfer you are. And

(01:35:00):
I'm sure there's guys that have been to a driving
rangeo into like, uh, what's the place golf and stuff? Now,
what's what's the place top golf. There's guarantee those guys
that have been like, honey, let's go to top golf
and this is a kind of golf with his buddies
all the time, golfing stuff. Though Daniel Russo went right,
that's where he took uh, what's your name, Elizabeth Shoo. Yeah,

(01:35:21):
I guarantee those guys that have taken their wife golfing
and the wife's like, I thought you're a good honey,
Like I'm sure this happened. You know where this happens,
and and and by the way, this ties in, this
ties in a little bit. This always happens. Like balling.
If you bowl right, and then you go in ball
with a bunch of like random friends, you're going on
lanes that aren't aren't oiled properly, and you know, so

(01:35:42):
you're there and you you're talking up all your bowling game,
and then you're going out with like generic bowling balls
and neon colors, rocking ball and in terrible conditions. In
other words, it's like it's a it's an equalizer. You're
on on an even playing field, so you could be
a really decent bowler and then look terrible. And now
you're making excuse I know you have to break. Will
come back with your phone calls and your feedback. The

(01:36:04):
times where you looked like, well you yeah, you look
like a dope in front of your family, the new
girl you were dating, your wife, your work buddies. Let's
say you wanted a work trip and your boss is like,
you want to golf with me Johnson and you're like,
oh yeah, I'll try to show off to the boss
and you stunk stunk it up. We'll take your phone calls.
Next eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox, You're hanging

(01:36:24):
with Cavino and Rich Yo Comno and Rich Fox Sports
Radio eight seven seven on Fox. I was thinking about
what you said about bowling. Cavino, want to join the league,
start a team, right, you know, it could be fun.
But we're talking about the look mole. Looked at theory

(01:36:46):
about how you could be golfing with your co workers
and you stink. Meanwhile, you're pretty good golfer. You can
be playing softball or baseball in front of your parents
or someone and you're hitting pop ups. Meanwhile you're the
guy that usually ripping line drives. Like when you have
people there, there's an odd little pressure to be like
I want them to see him good. Yeah, there's a
pressure you put on yourself. It might be subconscious or

(01:37:08):
a pressure that people put on you, but it just
seems to to work out that way. And it seems
like I'll give you another example. You ever see the
idiot that brings his own like pool que to like
a billiard hall or you know, to a bar. If
you bring your own, if you bring your own, if
he doesn't bring it, like he's Minnesota fats, then he failed.
You know, if he loses, like the guy that brings

(01:37:29):
his own stick and he's putting it together. Better be good,
Better be good. But you know someone hyped them up.
They're like, oh, oh, you know, watch, she's gonna be good.
There's more of a chance of him stinking like a
Blincoln in that moment. Like what I mean, like when
Ted Lasso broke out his own darts. Be pretty good,
that would be pretty good. That was cool. So anyway, Uh,

(01:37:49):
it's the look moth theory, and it starts in childhood
when you're doing amazing things on your skateboard, your bicycle,
you're hitting threes, you're doing amazing things, and then you
try to show your mom and you fail miserably, and
then she turns around and you start doing it all
over again and she looks again. You fail. That happened
to Rich his dad's in town and and off the here.

(01:38:11):
Rich said he'd never popped up to the catcher and
his entire softball in front of your dad. I couldn't.
I couldn't believe it, but hey, it happens to everybody.
Just figured out share that silly story. There is stuff
going on in sports spot You're like spots that off
theory goes. You know, there is stuff going on. I said, yeah, dude,
it's February, NBA, there's a couple of storylines. Is hockey
going on right now? But it really is taking your

(01:38:34):
statement and someone else on social media took your statement
literally like there's nothing going on. Yeah, the Lakers are
playing the Pelicans as we speak, but you know, nothing,
nothing really that exciting on this on this Sunday, especially
when you come off of the NFL season where every game,
every game rama. She'll back me up. The magnitude of
every NFL game is a big, big The magnitude of

(01:38:55):
every NFL game is such that if they're so significant
that you just you know you you pay a little
more attention to the NFL season than you do to
February and NBA or NHL. Now, before we get to
an update with Steve de Seger, I don't want to
be all serious. I know we're not the show to
bring you the serious stuff, But is it wild to

(01:39:17):
you when you see these elite athletes like the Loma
Chenkoes and the clitch Goes fighting the mayor of Kiev.
So that's he's leading by example there. It's amazing. Yeah,
we're talking legendary boxers. You know, the clich Goes dominated
the heavyweight division for over ten years and they you know,

(01:39:38):
let people see the ruin in the heavyweight division because
well obviously they wouldn't fight each other, but they were
so dominant, and then to see them having to defending
their country, it's it's wild. It's just pretty cool. I mean, listen,
it's already, it's already, it's already a terrible everything about
it's terrible, but it's it's wild to think that you

(01:39:59):
go from elite fleet making millions in a prize fight
to you know, having to defend your your land, your home.
And you know, you're talking like some really rich dudes
and they're multimillionaires. But you know what, I bring it
up not to get into war or politics or any
conversation like that. I bring it up to be like,
you know, maybe just a little eye opener to remind
ourselves how how lucky many of us are to you know,

(01:40:22):
to not have to live in a place where stuff
like that's going down. You know a lot of times
your own little problems seemed pretty big and you're like,
you know what, my problems are not big problems. The
thing that you know, you could be complaining about some
nonsense and you're like, you know what, Lomachenko is getting
ready to possibly go to battle, not in a ring,

(01:40:42):
in war. It's it really is like you forget sometimes
when our grandparents a little major league baseball players and
athletes went to war, like that seems crazy now when
you're like, yeah, Joe Tomagico, imagine if like the elite
athletes today said I'm taking a time out from myself,
of the athletes in the in the prime of their
career in the less yeah, so many great years. It's
it's amazing when again, I don't I don't want to

(01:41:05):
get into this other than just say, hey, let's all
remember how lucky we are, and it's it's real life,
and it's a it's a terrible thing that's going on.
But to see these guys and the pride they have
from their for their homeland, right, Lomachenko is the latest.
I just saw that picture surface of him today in
his at his military garb. I don't know you'd call

(01:41:26):
it his fatigue. Let's go to our buddy, Steve, because
I said, Garb, Yes, yes, spots spots that Garb Garb. Yeah.
It's pretty wild, right, Steve Sager, to see these elite
athletes like we forget that our grandparents generation athletes went
to war. It's it's it's crazy to think. Steve the

(01:41:50):
Sager brought up the Denver Nuggets. There up fourteen now
on Portland's Denver ten games over five dred. He said, nuggets,
And I'm notut have been joking. I immediately said who's
the greatest? For my first I was who's the greatest
Denver nugget of all time? Is there a clear answer
for you? I used to rock at Janelen Rose Jersey

(01:42:11):
back in the day. What's the answer is it Alex English?
Is it to kembe Matumbo? Is it Carmelo with his thing?
You're like, who is the oh Nuggets? Yeah? Who's the
w Yeah? But as far as before him, I think
Alex English would be my choice. Yeah, I just think
I'm hungry. And then I and then I also said,

(01:42:33):
I said, I said, I said, what's a tougher conversation?
What's the best Denver nugget of all time? Or what
is the best nugget nuggets all day? You guys forgot
Chauncey Billups and I think you forgot burger king nugg
step to think about it. You know, I just started

(01:42:58):
immediately thinking of you know, like my jerseys and things
like that. Um Carmelo Anthony was would have probably have
been maybe stuck there, Yeah, but you know, legendary. So
give me your nugget combo, your your Denver nugget and
your fast food nugget. Okay, I'm going everyone, everyone can
play along your best. It's called dummy fishing with Cavino

(01:43:19):
and rich best Carmelo Anthony, and I'm gonna go with
with one that no one's gonna say, because I don't
even think they exist anymore. Maybe somewhere there's one left.
But growing up again, I'm from Union, New Jersey. I
used to go to Roy Rogers and they would have
the best nuggets, man, And I'll stand my ground and
stick with it with their sweet and sound war sauce.
So no one else is gonna say it, so, I'll

(01:43:40):
say Carmelo Anthony Roy Rogers, if you could find one somewhere,
there's gotta be one out there left. I'm going Yo
Kitch Chick fil A, all right, Danny, I'm going fat
lever and raising Kines, raising Caines A good choice, good
che spot. You have an answer, he Spottes is already

(01:44:00):
ordering Grandpa right now, ordering nuggets. I told his wife
to put some Diner nuggets in the oven. Right. Oh yeah.
If you're if you're living the mom or dad life,
din on nuggets part of your life. When did they
get him? When did that become the thing? Your daughter's twelve,
Do you remember dining on nuggees? I don't. I don't know.
I don't think. I think every parent on planet Earth.
I wish I would have. I wish I would have known.

(01:44:22):
Have din your kid. They eventually develop a palette and
they get to the point where they don't want it anymore,
and you sort of wish that they did because it
was easy back then, you know what I mean. Like,
you're gonna five Dino nuggies as you call them, nuggets,
five dining nuggets in the toast, driven with a little
mac and cheese cup is like the go to, like

(01:44:44):
I'm gonna feed my kids healthy. And then you're like, well,
this is the reality. It's like, you know, what's the reality? Kids?
That's what you eat too. Yeah, you end up eating
the leftovers for sure, the leftover nuggets. You know. I
was also listening to Steve di Seger while you were
thinking about chicken nuggetes, and I was thinking of Jamal
Murray and uh Carl's Jr. Now, don't sleep on the

(01:45:07):
classic McDonald's had good nuggets until you realize what we're
in it. Right when you were a kid, though, you're like, yeah,
whatever these are. These are great. I don't care if
they are shaped all the same size. They're fantastic. They
had little boots and then little round ones. Yeah, like
the round the boots. By the way, which is better
the boot one or the round one. The boot one

(01:45:27):
you could get the corners of the cup of the
sweet and sour sauce, Like you could really dig in there.
Everybody knows what you're talking about, right, boot one. All
you left me was to boot one. Thanks. Anyway, you know,
he was talking, he was mentioning the Knicks, and you know,
my my mind was thinking, man, they stink. They're the weakest.
The Knicks stink. They really are that bad. And it

(01:45:50):
made me think of your dad's in studio today, and hey,
even though you sucked it up at softball, we're having
a fun show. So I gus, your dad got to
witness you perform some greatness in the form of radio
fun on the air here on Fox Sports Radio. Um,
your dad has a famous story that he quit the Yankees,
So like, at what point, Like, can you just quit

(01:46:12):
a team just out of frustration? Like your dad made
a conscious choice, right, Greg, at one point you quit
the Yankee, didn't you say? Your car got stolen? One
too Bronx right with the school of the Bronx and
had a cost stole and and uh when the Mets
came along, I just said time for a change. And uh,
I live in Queens and the Mets playing Queens, and

(01:46:33):
uh and they and they were I guess newer, newer organizations.
You start, you start to see a few little kids
in l A. But like, I'm a Rams fan. They
won the Super Bowl. That's not gonna hurt them. But
I'm just saying, like, would you blame a Knicks fan.
If they said for just saying you know what I mean,
I'm I'm just I'm quitting the Knicks because I always

(01:46:53):
had the mentality of like you ride by your team,
ride or die right the rider, die fan, no matter what.
And you know, I accepted your dad's answer because it
was your dad and he was like, hey, you know what,
screw the Bronx, I'm moving for the Mets. And he's
stuck with them, by the way, terrible choice looking back, right,
you had your moments of glory, right moment of moments,

(01:47:15):
I'm thinking sixty nine and eighty six. Would that be
a sort of okay move to quit your team if
they were that. I've mentioned this to you before. I
have a buddy who lives on Long Island. He's a
huge Yankees guy, Knicks guy, Giants guy, typical New York guy, Yankees, Giants, Knicks.

(01:47:36):
He has two preteen teenage boys and he's like, I
can't pay them or get them, they won't be Knicks fans.
He's like, they love Steph Curry, they love lebron they
love all these they love trade young They they don't
want to root for the Knicks. He's like kids I'll
take you to the garden. We'll go into Manhattan and
they're like, now, Dad, but here's here's why you do

(01:47:57):
have to stick by your team though, so like I
wouldn't him anybody's for saying, you know what, I quit
the Knicks. I'm just enough, I'm gonna do I like
this team. I think I think of how close like
a zion or something in the future. Right then what then?
What now? All of a sudden, You're I'm gonna quit
the uh? I was liking the bulls Now I'm back
to the Knicks. Like, you can't do that, which you
gotta stick with your team. I think look at a
couple of years ago when free agency was remember the

(01:48:19):
one year where everyone thought this is the Knicks year.
They was gonna end up there, But it was wherever
Kyrie and Kevin Durant like they remember they were all
deciding what we're gonna go somewhere together, and then they
chose Brooklyn over the Knicks. That was the nail in
the coffin. I bet for a lot of Knicks fans
were like, We're never gonna do it. All the free
agents chose Brooklyn over the Knicks, over playing at the Garden.

(01:48:43):
To me, I don't blame anyone for giving up on
a team that is that bad for that many years.
That's that's That's all I'm saying. And I'm and I mentality,
I have to have hope that they turn it around eventually,
because if you did quit on that team, then all
of a sudden you're back. You know that. That's kind
of that's called bandwag. You know a lot of people
do it. I just I just think that that did

(01:49:04):
make that choice, and he stuck with he quit the
Yankees and still with the Mets for the past, you know,
thirty something years more than that. Yeah, probably I was
trying not to date you, Greg. Yeah, I mean think
about it, fifty years we have more coven on rich
your thoughts, can you give up on your team? Will
take a few phone calls on that if they're that

(01:49:26):
bad for how long? Like if you're saying, if you're saying, well,
the Knicks haven't been a true contender since Patrick Ewing
and John Starks and Oakley and we're that's we're talking
third like almost thirty years ago, twenty five ish plus
years ago. If that's the story, Yeah, the biggest story
since then was like lisanity, and that was two weeks.

(01:49:48):
It was like a feel good two weeks of two
weeks of good basketball. Well your feedback next, Mark coven

Patreon dot com, slash Cavino Enriched. Now, um, who comes
to mind? I don't want to put you on the spot.
Yes you do, get off me. But when I say
and I'll let everyone think about it for a second.

(01:50:51):
What player comes to mind? When I say who retired
a little too soon or before their time? Think about it.
We'll take two phone calls. Go back to it because
there was a retirement in the NFL, not not the
household name, but a Pro bowloy years old. We'll get
to it in a second, but let's say, what's up

(01:51:11):
to Bob in Minnesota? Bob, you're on with coven On Rich.
What's up? Man? Doing well? Doing well? How are you guys,
good man? What's on your mind? Um? I had some
thoughts on that bandwig and fans stuff that you guys
are talking about. I was saying, how the Knick stink right?

(01:51:32):
And I've never been a guy to say it's okay
to quit on your team. I hate that. I feel
like you're not a real fan. But you think about
how bad they are and Roses out again, Kimball walkers
down for the season, Like every everything they do just
stinks to the high heavens and they really are that bad.
Like to even think about there the last good team

(01:51:53):
they had, you have to go thirty years ago, you know,
so you blame Ramo has bet a great point during
the break we're talking about how if you're a Cubs fan,
wasn't it all the more sweet than in after waiting
like almost a hundred years but do you want to
wait a hundred years? Do you want to wait? You know?
You like, is there a new rule? Like you get one,

(01:52:14):
you get one move throughout a lifetime, but you gotta
stick with it. Like like Bob, you're you're a t
Wolves fan. You're a Timberwolves fan in Minnesota. I am, Like,
you gotta ask yourself, like, realistically, is your team gonna
win the NBA championship in the next five to ten years?
One player could change everything, you know what? Yeah, looking
with Golden State. Golden State went from you know, you're

(01:52:37):
honest with your honest if for the Bucks, I get it,
but it's it doesn't seem very good for a lot
of these teams because you also need free agents to
want to go places the NBA. I've heard Cowherd bait
this point before. You can't rely on just building with
young players in the draft. The NBA is based on,
like you need that combination of youth versus and and
like the veterans. And there's two things going on with
the Knicks. Ready you said this, and it's New York

(01:52:59):
we're talking mm gee. Players don't want to go there
because they know the organizations like tainted right, it's tainted meat.
It's tainted meat, and young fans don't want to root
because everybody knows stinks. So it's a lose. Loose. Kids
are floodier than ever. So so did we lose? Bob? Bob?
You Kevin's in in Culver City? Hey Kevin? Hey, what's up? Guys?

(01:53:23):
What's okay? I got a great one, my boys. A
huge was a huge Raiders fan. We watched the TUCU
game together and he quit the Raiders after the Killotle
Max Rad. He quit the Raiders and putting the Raiders
after the Kilttle Mack trade. He couldn't take it. He's
the biggest Rams fan. And I got one quick tid bit,
real quick. You guys have to watch Snowfall. It's an

(01:53:43):
amazing show. Bench it the first episode of land By
is the whole lamp By seat behind the scene. What
a show. Cool. Good to know man, Thank you Fall.
Check it out. Never I've never seen all Right, So
moving on, Rich you you talked about early retirement, and
you know there's gonna be different reasons. So market the

(01:54:07):
Pro Bowl guard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Steve to
say Here gave us that update before yeah, the sake
I heard the sacre saying I checked up on him.
He's gonna be e, he's gonna be twenty nine. We're
talking about you. You talk about when guys like Jeter
and Tom Brady retiring their forty ish and it's like
they're young men in life, but you know when sports
are old. This guy's twenty eight. He's made money, but

(01:54:30):
he's I think he's I think I read somewhere he
was due ten million next year. So you're gonna be
pretty confident in your retirement, or you know, it was
health thing. So maybe said listen, I don't want to
so I mean Barry Sanders number one. Obviously, he's the
main answer anytime you have this discussion, like a guy
that just went on his own and in his prime

(01:54:50):
and you wish he had more Megatron. Another Detroit Lion,
Like Detroit Lions seemed to come to mind, right. I
thought that Andrew Luck too. I was like, you know
he was, he was so young still, I thought, Andrew
Luck it's a good answer, Um, Andrew Lucky. Yeah, it's
it's he again. A guy that said, listen, I've made
a lot of money. I don't need to sacrifice anymore.

(01:55:12):
Jim Brown historically you know, didn't play until he was old.
Bo Jackson that was you know, injuries, injuries put him
put him down. That's the thing. You know. As a
Yankees fan, look have had a lot of things to
root for. But I really I always wish that Don
Manningly got a chance to play in the World Series

(01:55:33):
and win one if he would have played one more year,
one more year he retired nine, but again his injury
related like Barry Sanders comparison in a like in a
and that Don Manningly back issue does it to me?
Or two? As right? Megatron Calvin Johnson thirty years old,
that could have got He could have played wide receiver
in the NFL at an elite level for probably five

(01:55:55):
plus more years, right, Um, I mean, I know it
was historic moment and of course an HIV diagnosis for
Magic Johnson, But we forget Magic Johnson stepped away at
age thirty two. He could have played quite a while longer.
Maybe not, maybe not at the elite level that he
was playing out, but Magic Johnson thirty two, think of

(01:56:17):
thirty two in the NBA. Now five more years, twelve seasons.
He had twelve seasons in the because he had so
much impact in those twelve seasons, you forget then he
cut it a little early. Did you guys mentioned Luke Keickley.
It's a great example. I remember when Keickley stepped away.

(01:56:38):
And by the way, the forty Niners had a few
players that randomly pulled up one uh, A couple of
guys sighting like I'm just not gonna play. They were
like not everyday names. But remember like Patrick Willis and
Navarro Bowman, these guys all sort of walked away at
a young age. But you know what, I think what
you're seeing is some of these guys are looking ahead, saying, well,

(01:57:00):
every season, they're pressing their lives. They say, you've got
to look at yourself at thirty is probably some of
these guys and say, I've made millions if I manage
my money correctly and I'm feeling good, why press Why
press your luck? No wammy's no wammy stopped already got that,
you already got the big bucks, So why why go
for the whammy? If some guys signed the contract and

(01:57:20):
he made twenty plus million dollars in his playing career
and he's thirty, come on, alright, let'sen. We'll see guys
next week. Enjoy uh the first week of March. We'll
see you next time. I'll rivea there at you baby,
see you in the Promised everything at Kobe and on
Retch Sea
