Speaker 1 (00:01):
You don't listen to the Fox Sports. I wonder if
everyone knows we're live right now because it's Easter Sunday,
pass Over weekend. We're here. We're Cavino and Rich, happy everybody.
We got some NBA drama to get to today we'll
talk some baseball drama. I got some catberry eggs to

(00:21):
get to, got those mini eggs to get talking about
peeps to put in the microwave. Shouts my peeps, the
yellow Ones, the Pink Ones, the blue ones, all the
Pete families. I'm about to destroy. Now. The USFL is
on TV right now. I mean, I have a question.
I wrote that down. I mean, we have lots of important,
hard hitting things to get to, but I wrote here USFL.

(00:43):
Anyone care promoted at all? Well, that's the thing. I mean, Hey,
I'm interested. I used to watch the Jersey General's growing up.
I like Hershall Walker, Doug Foodie. And you chose the USFL.
But did you also choose Beta Max? You know what
kind of sucks you chose? Uh? Now h D d
v D as well? You know what the attendance to
the game not. Remember I'm from Union, New Jersey, right,

(01:07):
and people always like dude, who's your team? Like the Giants,
like the Jets, And I always say, you know, guys,
I picked poorly. I like the General's My dad took
me there, and you know that's why I don't really
have an NFL affiliation. But it's back, and I don't
feel like you got the hyper promotion it deserved or needed.
Put it that way. So I'm not hating because I'm

(01:27):
open to it. It's just I feel like no one's
talking about it. I saw I start more clips on
social media of Tara Owens catching a touchdown in some
Fanta league. Yeah, the f CFL t O was scoring
in West basically arena football but fan control this week. Yeah,
you're right, that got more hyped than the USFL. But anyway,

(01:48):
we're Cavino and rich and we are here, we are live.
We do wish you a happy holiday weekend, Happy Easter.
Hope you had a nice morning. I hope you enjoyed
your egg hunt. I hope you dined your Easter eggs.
Hope to the the easter bunny came. I hope you had
a happy pass over all that good stuff. If you
did the Easter egg dying with your kids, I mean
you're supposed to write, but my kid, my son, my

(02:11):
daughter is good. I hate to John Rich, but I'm
gonna if you celebrate Easter and you didn't do that,
kind of parent are you? Just I'm just saying, I'm
just saying, what type of parents are you? What kind
of parent are you? If you don't make the bunny cake,
the universal bunny cake that my mom's been making since
eighty six, some sort of bunny cake or eat eggs

(02:31):
or something to make it festive and fun, the universal
What are you doing? The universal mom bunny cake to
circle pans. The one pan is the face of the bunny,
and you use the other circle pan to make two ears,
and what is left is a bow tie. Yeah, it's
the mom bunny. I thought my mom invented it. She
got it from like the parade, the parade newspaper article

(02:53):
for Housekeeping magazine. For sure, she had a family. It
was called family circle, Family Circle. Anyway, you're supposed to
be doing those things, so we hope you enjoyed all
of that. My son's too. Every time he grabbed an
egg broke, well, of course, a little monster, a little monster,
little monster age for sure. I mean you boil your hard,

(03:13):
boil them first, right. Oh yeah, but what I'm saying
like he he was, he was wreaking him apart. I
would have given him raw eggs orry. But we will
talk Kyrie. Kyrie talking smack today in a loss to Boston.
We'll talk some baseball. We're talking baseball. Yankee sucking big time,
gotta keep it PG. We're talking baseball. We'll be talking

(03:38):
baseball later on. But you said, Kyrie, I wanna ask
you later when we when we discuss this passion or tantrum. Okay,
being a baby or being a man, think about that,
Think about that if sound bites. Yeah, so a little NB,
a little USFL little least are fun and some NBA

(04:03):
mixed with brunch. You can't say we're gonna talk to
USFL if you can't name one team New Jersey generals
besides them, No, it's the only team I need to know.
Name one guy in their roster, Uh, Doug Flutie. I'm
gonna give you a big megget about that one. He's
not a general, I bet you you know. But before
we get to sports and life and there's Mayweather news,

(04:27):
Rob Gronkowski wants to wrestle. We're gonna get to all this,
and I just say, I hope everyone had an Errol
Spence sort of weekend and Errol Spence victorious big fight
last night that I wasn't willing to pay for sort
of weekend. That spot pointed out, you know you're getting
a little older when less and less of your friends
are posting coach Hella photos. Every year, a few less

(04:49):
people you know go to Coachella. It's like your way
of being like, I'm getting a little older. I hope
you had a happy Coachella weekend. I said no Chella. No,
thanks to no Chella. Now, ever, since Kanye dropped out,
I know you're a huge Kanye. So there's lots going on.
But first and first, mostly we wish you a happy
holiday in a great weekend. We're Cavino and Rich and
we just got back from brunch. Really, we're at Rich's

(05:12):
house all day. So not only are we a show,
we're a family. We're a friendship. We've been doing us
a long time together for over seventeen years. Did you
get it invite to brunch? Hey blame Rich negative, Okay,
I'm just making sure because the family, I feel as
though I feel as though you guys will you guys

(05:33):
wouldn't have come. I've you wrong. Yeah, you know what
you did. And you know what I just figured Easter
with like kids running around, I don't know, We're not
We're not family. I feel like we're not blood family.
We're like fashion furious family. I mean, it's family. This
is a serious question before we dive into the hard

(05:54):
hitting stuff. Guys, because it is Fox Sports Radio. What
is the deal? Can I pull Seinfelds to deal with
everybody bringing their dogs to people's houses and supermarkets and
everything else. Keep in mind we're in California, We're in
l A. Things are different. Things are a little more
you know, laid back and and liberal and whatever. It's

(06:15):
my doggie, I get it. But Rich had like five
dogs at this house because everyone feels like it's okay
to bring their dog and not that it's not. But
it's like, when did that become a thing? Is my question.
I think it becomes a thing when you are pet owner.
That sort of breaks the initial ice, you know how

(06:36):
it was when I was a kid, Leave your dog
at home. I mean, it's not like people don't own
pets back in the day. I mean, in my particular case,
one of my wife's best friends. And by the way,
now I'm making a team like we had a ranger. Guys,
there was like five people there. Bobo, you missed nothing,
doesn't care, So like me, allow me to tell you

(06:56):
I don't want to come minus Danny g and Bobo.
Thank you. That makes more sense. You like the step
siblings that put it this way. Guys, it wasn't in
my place to invite people to rich his house. So
our buddy, our friend Shannon just got a puppy. She's like, hey,
if I come over and I leave the little puppy

(07:19):
and create at home, I can only stay for like
an hour or so and then I have to leave.
So what am I gonna suns to be the Norman
any supermarket around here? Forgetting You're you're making your You're
taking two separate things. Not it's just a way of
it's like this entitlement. Like my dog he comes with me.
It's like, says, who dog taking banana dumps on my floor? Well,

(07:39):
do you see Joe Manganello went to I believe it
was a Pittsburgh Penguins game, and they go to him
on the on the Cam like, there he is, from
True Blood, from Magic, Mike Joe Manganello, big big sports fan,
and there he is. He's got his dog and like
a harness on his chest. That's ridiculous. And I love
Joe Joe. I love that guy. You know, I want

(08:04):
to see him with Sophia Vergara, not a stupid dog,
no fence. Joe, great guy. But you know what, I
look at it this way. You're saying people just love
to bring the dog everywhere. I'm anti dog at restaurant
and supermarket. But if you got friends that are coming
over and they're like, hey, do you mind if I
bring my dog? It's followed. It's followed up with a

(08:25):
very important question. What type of dog we're talking has
a Saint Bernard? Now? Well, no, I think that's the answer.
If someone's like, yeah, I have a little Shitsu or
a little poodle or a little French bulldog or some
little dog makes a difference. It's like, that's a difference
to me. If you told me someone said, yea, he
might if I bring my my lab or my big

(08:46):
Golden Retriever over, I'd say, yeah. Not a good idea
for the for the people, for the Fox Sports Radio Family. Again,
I'm Steve Cavino. I'm not anti pet, anti animal, but
I am allergic to dogs. So you know what I'm here,
are just trying to enjoy a nice Easter brunch. I
got dogs up my nose. It's one thing if it's

(09:06):
one dog, but now it's like three or four dogs
because everyone brings their dog. It's a little much. And
I'm not calling anybody out like I'm saying, it's just
the way of life. It's just become the norm nowadays.
And everybody is so sensitive to everybody's feelings. Right in two,
what about mine as a guy who has allergies to dogs?

(09:27):
No one cares about me, just me, No one caresing.
Do not complain, not complaining, Just plain in justice, Plain
in if you want to paint the picture of Steve Camino,
my co host, who hates dogs. Also something that we've
talked about over the years that we definitely have to

(09:48):
bring up for the Fox Sports audience. I want enough
today change your mind because for years I've talked about
how I Rich Davis, what's up? Everybody love brunch? I
love it? It sounds so like um, I love it
sounds like I don't tell right, I'll tell you why.
I love. The word brunch is pretentious. I agree with that,

(10:10):
and I think that's where you're trying to be regal
and royal. How does that sound brunch? Yeah, a word combining,
combining breakfast to lunch sounds regal. Yeah, he alsbody thinks
he's King Hartley Racing starts with kings having brus It
starts with a d what ends with an ushi? But
I don't know if I could say it on fox
Worth Radio. And that's how it kind of sounds and

(10:34):
feels to me. Brunch again something that's become the norm,
like taking your dog everywhere you go. I said to Cavino,
I said, after today, you've got to be convinced that
brunch can't be beat. It's usually some type of combination
of omelets or eggs and bacon in a combination of

(10:56):
some type of pancake or French toast or waffles, and
you're gonna have booze involved, so you can have boozy
drinks like breakfast food to maybe like the booze during
the days when I'm on vacation. Otherwise it doesn't feel right.
So let me explain. First off, brunch to me, sounds
like something pretentious people do and talk about. That's not
who I am. I'm a kid from New Jersey. I

(11:17):
never had brunch in my life. I come to l
A and everyone's talking about brunch and mimosas and man mosas,
and it's just not my vibe right now. I will
say anything that gets people together, especially on a holiday.
I'm all four, and I'm thankful and grateful that rich
you had people over for Easter because it got us
all together. Not remember it was just about family, but

(11:42):
mosa on your on your behalf. Now. I did have
a good time, and I do appreciate it, But to
label it brunch and what's involved in brunch, I'm still
not a fan of. There's a few things that I
associate with nighttime activity, sexy time in the bedroom, scary movies,

(12:03):
and drinking. I don't I don't enjoy those things during
the day. Not a day drinker. I'm not a day
drinker unless I'm on a beach in Mexico, you know
what I mean. Like day sexy time, I don't like
that either. No one needs to see this in the daylight.
See Iowa, Sam knows what I'm talking about and grind Iowa, Sam,
hear me out. Literally, there's three there's three things that

(12:23):
I don't vibe with during the day. Sexy time, scary movies,
any movie. Really, I don't want to sit around watch
a movie during the day. It's not the mood. It's
not the time. I'll watch a ball game during the day.
I'm gonna watch a movie. My daughter hit me up yesterday, right,
it's like it's like three o'clocks. Like, Dad, you want
to watch Ghostbusters. I'm like, not until it gets dark.
Count it's against the rules. So I don't drink. I

(12:44):
don't have sexy time. I don't watch scary movies unless
it's nighttime. So when you see brunch, I'm like, okay,
so we're gonna be having man mosas at at eleven
twelve in the afternoon, like kind of savages are trying? Man,
this conversation up a bit. You can't because brunches think
because it's all things. He just doesn't like. The are
we're based in Los Angeles right now, and where we

(13:08):
are on a game day is prime to combine your
love of sports and eating breakfast slash lunch and alcah
like Lutton's eating like terror. We ate nothing of substance.
We had nothing but pastries and carbs. So basically we
had to get together, which was fun and fantastic company

(13:30):
and the and the celebration of Easter and to get together.
It was more important than any of my complaints right now.
But all we had was a gigantic carb overload. But
what was pastries and junk food? And You're gonna hate
yourself later. It was in the background. We were all chilling,
hanging out, games on in the background, were sipping on
some booze, having some mimosas it was a break boarding afternoon.

(13:51):
I bring this up because I just want the old
school bonehead guys like Cavino that listen, because I know
there's a lot of old school guys. Most of the
guys are gonna say, you sound and what was that
angry guys like the word that rhymes was angry bob,
angry owl. I'll tell you that she does not like
I'm gonna I think Danny would surprise you. I think

(14:11):
Danny g is a brunch It doesn't look like a
brunch guy, but I think I can promise you Danny
G is because if I told Danny J Hey, Danny G.
We're gonna we're gonna pour a nice cocktail, watch the
Dodgers game in the afternoon, and we're gonna have some
like French toast and bacon, and maybe my wife made
a little egg casserole thing. That sounds better than what

(14:31):
I just describes all these delicious breakfast foods, a drink
and a game and spots right spot me a great
point out here in l A. With everything is starting
three hours earlier football season Sunday afternoon baseball becomes earlier baseball.
You want to do something called a man moosa does.
I love breakfast, but I'm with Covino. I don't like

(14:53):
alcohol involved in it. That's for at night when I'm
before you get to the bedroom with your girl. That's
for then in the daytime. You want to take a
nap right after breakst for real, dude, I feel like
I'm participating in something like a little to beyond my foofiness,
you know what I mean? And yeah, I did love
that the game was on. I do love a drink,

(15:15):
but I felt like it was too early for a drink.
It makes me too sleepy drinks or sexy time you
seem like a real fun guy sexty times during the day. Man, Well,
you know what I ladies, for this series, I gotta
tie it into this is Fox Sports Radio, right, you
know what I was trying to do? Watch the Yankee game.
I like, if it's daytime sports over sexy time? Yeah, dude,

(15:36):
during the day, during the day, yes, during and a
lot of and a lot of times to drink to
yo yo bobo. No cap I still don't know how
to use that expression. No cap Still I still can't
figure that it's no capot bad, no booty um. No.
He he posed a question, I watch sports over sexy

(15:58):
time if it's during the day, Yes, I have his
girlfriend showed up naked and he's like Seavino's pitching minute
Nasty Nestor, and I want to Nasty nest bro nasty
nest for the Yankees today, he leads a league in strikeouts,
but he doesn't have a decision because the Yankees haven't

I don't know how you don't love brunch that we
could end it there. I mean, it sounds so pretentious,
commented name what's wrong? What what's wronger bunch? It's just

(18:58):
it's overhyphed. Okay, So why because people get real like, oh,
we're gonna brunch it up, right? Who cares? That's nice brunch?
Brunch brunch and then you get there and it's just
like like it's over indulging on pancakes pretty much. So
here's the thing. I'm thirty eight. I didn't know what
brunch was until I was in like my late twenties.
It wasn't a thing from where I'm from. It was

(19:19):
bunch my lunch dinner. But I do have a group
of friends that are friends of my girlfriend Brittany, her
church members. We go. We have a bros Brunch once
a month. Whoa wait a second, I'm sorry, rewind that
we have a brosunchros a prose brose brunch once a month.
Is there such a thing? It is? Now with us?

(19:41):
We go. Our next one is Wednesday, as a matter
of fact, prose brunch. I don't know how I feel
about that, but can we get for you Bobo, I'll
have the eggs, Benny and h depends on where we
got last. The first one we went was a vet
grew and it was not against I'm not against friends

(20:04):
getting together for whatever reason and having a good time, right,
can't just prefers a Saturday night with no name boxers.
That's how commit us to hang and then sexy time
after sports yeah, yeah, I'm having sexy time till I
watched Errol Spence and Ugas, which was a great fight
last night that I wasn't willing to pay, but I

(20:25):
heard it was a great fight. We'll talk about it
a little bit later on his brunched lame is a
pretentious it's just a little foofy and and honestly, I
had a great time. But I start of regret all
the boozing and the eating I did today. Yeah, I
really do. But I had a great time, so I
can't complain. I have a dumb question. I mean, then again,
so many of the question to ask are hard hitting,
so I know this comes as a surprise. Start hitting,

(20:46):
like John Carlos. Damn. Yeah, it is high, it is far,
it is gone. Oh just kidding, it is out. He's out.
Your announcer needs to step it up. Yeah, John Sterling
can't see anymore. In his defense, anytime Giancarlo gets ahold
of one, it looks like it's going. It's it's a

(21:07):
dumb question. But based on your no sexy time during
the day or during a game, what percent of you
guys do you think would turn down their woman's advances
if it was like fourth quarter of an NBA playoff game,
ten seconds left, high games inward, most like the inbound
passes about to happen. And I say this kindly desperate,

(21:29):
are you bottom of the night? Runners on base? In?
Your girls like come with me? And she's like, those
are baby test games. I don't got time for that.
I got bronchitis when it comes to that. You know,
I'm all about loving my woman and and all about
spreading the love and other things, all about spreading good
times dynomite. But there's a time and place and your

(21:50):
games on the line. That's just a little power struggle,
Like what's more important me or the Yankees? Unless you are?
But like, now is not the time I could see
I could see women doing that as a test. Yeah,
and I'm not playing that game like Aaron Judges up
in the bottom of the ninth with runners on tie game.
And that's when your girls like, yeah, come with me,

(22:10):
and you're like, what you could? You could judge all
you want. I'm picking the game in that scenario because
sexy time could wait until later. No, you got to
know a little bit about Carino. He'll always choose Aaron
Judge and says no to brunch Happy Easter, everybody, Um,
quick play a quick game of what ifs Now? Can

(22:31):
I sing some Creed for you? What if? What if? Fire?
What if? What what if? You know? The band that
people love to hate, but yet they sold ten million albums? Yea,
what if? Fire? Yeah? Nickelback and Creed cut from the
same cloth. Nickelback, Creed and Limp Biscuit. People they hate them,
but somebody loves him somebody maybe maybe not now, but

(22:54):
back then someone did what if now? First of all,
I just can't wait for when baseball really heats up
come playoff time. I know it's six months away, but
I could, I could see what's happening. My prediction, Danny
g and Bobo and I are gonna rumble because I'm
gonna overreact. Ten games into the regular season, I think

(23:18):
the Mets and the Dodgers are are on a collision course.
I think they are, like, I mean, it's ten games.
I know it's only ten games, good, but it just
looks like when you just look at chemistry and even
like the Mets, little things are going to Mets way
when little things never went the Mets. But but I'm
saying even the Mets. Two of their losses are blown saves,
so they could very well even be more ahead right now.

(23:40):
I just think the Mets and the Dodgers, and you
could argue, well, you have payroll, don't me look at
their the two highest payrolls in the National League. But
I just feel like Danny g I feel like we're
gonna rumble one in like six months, I hope. So
by the way, let's do it. Both Bobo and Danny
gerre rocking their Dodgers gear today, so they're hardcore into

(24:02):
the season. They both have jerseys on today almost Dodger white. Yeah,
and I got the baby blue with I just want
people to understand who we're talking to right high water
to try to find this jersey. You know, are you
feeling that the Mets could be a threat. I'm serious
because now we're getting into, guys, what we call the
Cavino and Rich Show with Bobo Danny Gan spot only
what eight games into the well some eight some ten

(24:25):
ten games into the season, Baseball overreactions. I gonna work
on the title. It's like, eight ten games in we're
calling this about that overreactions. Yeah, I'm already having problems
with the podcast description. I never thought I would type
this no sexy time during sports on TV for Covino

(24:46):
stay my grand I mean, I've always said why not both?
But you know, I don't like when people are trying
to pull that test on you, like which do you prefer?
I don't like that. How about we do one now,
we do one later. Give me a couple of over reactions.
Is is it fair to say over reaction? Like Flatty

(25:07):
Guerrero gonna hit fifty bombs and hit three hundreds he
like the star. Is what happened though, when he hit
he hit three bombs right the very next day he
struck out four times. It happens when you when you know,
you know it does happen because you know you had
such an amazing game the day before he was four
for four with three home runs against the Yankees. Next day,

(25:29):
you come in with all this pressure, like how do
I top that? And whether you think you are or not,
you're in your head a little bit four times in
a row, two of your biggest and and people complaining
this is a problem with baseball, But some of your
biggest tom run hitters, no surprise, are leading the league
in strikeouts. Otani, Vladi Guerrero, some of these guys, you know,

(25:51):
take a lot of strikeouts as well. Yeah. Look, as
much as I love, I hate how the game is
played today. I really do the strikeout home run mentality today?
Did the analytics? The analytics tell you like guys should
be swinging for the words, swing of the fences and
batting averages don't matter. It's for the birds, dude. You know,
I like the old school mentality of you know, try

(26:13):
to hit over three hundred, try to get two hundred
hits the season, doesn't I know it doesn't apply to
today's game. But when you watch guys and I hate
to sound like a homer because I'm a Yankees guy,
when you watch guys like Joey Gallo, I'm thinking, like,
get this guy out of here. But he walks. I
saw you out. I saw strikes out all the time.
I saw a step that's at Joey Gallow hits a

(26:35):
lot of home runs and he know, he bats like
we padded one ninety. But when you do the analytics,
because he walks and hits a lot of home runs,
he's as effective as a guy that hits like two eighties.
It's garbage, though you hit a lot of meaningless home
runs that don't mean jack to you know what. To
manufacture a run, you need two to three singles, so

(26:56):
you could argue ripping a double or a home run half,
you know, way less is still more productive, you know what.
It seems like though, it seems like you're striking out
three times, you know, six times for every time, yet
you almost at home run. It's a change, a boring
way to watch base I have a thought we're gonna
get through right after Steve the Sager's up ted. It's

(27:18):
a little a little what if what if? And and
your exaggerations, right, oh, yeah, exaggerations. You're you're I guess
you would say you're your far reaches ted games into
the season. But Steve, disa what's going on? Man? Give
us an update? Hello gentlemen, and happy Easter. And you
talked about MLB payrolls, which undoubtedly a high payroll helps
in the non salary cap league, but it's not everything.

(27:39):
The Angels and spent a lot last year and went nowhere,
and Mets and Phillies had two of the largest payrolls
in all of baseball last year, close to two hundred million,
and that didn't do him any good. Programming. Note that
we have NASCAR on Fox TV right now. They're on
lap one fifty out of two fifty scheduled in the
Dirt Race at Bristol. Chase Briscoe as a leader, Christopher
Bell is moved into second, Daniel Suarez is down to

(28:02):
third place. As for baseball, the Red Sox say they
expect to be without multiple unvaccinated players for an upcoming
series at Toronto that's due to start a week from tomorrow.
Starting pitcher Tanner, how for example, told the Boston Globe
today he is not vaccinated against COVID. Nineteen players who
are sidelined by vaccine issues are not paid and do
not accrue major league service while they're on the restricted list.

(28:25):
The Oakland A's this weekend for a series in Toronto
had three players on the restricted list. As for the
Sunday night ball game in San Diego, the Padres lead
to nothing over the Braves in the top of the
fifth inning. You Darvish is the starting pitcher. His last
start at San Francisco, he allowed nine runs in an
inning and to third. He has a to nothing advantage
over the Braves top of the fifth tonight. Hey, Steve Um,

(28:47):
I don't know how it always it always ends up
being like a divisive political conversation when you talk about vaccines.
But aren't we removed from the original vaccines enough now?
Where if people haven't got the boosters, is an unvaccinated
player almost gonna be in the same pool of people
that got vacs like a year ago and they haven't
done anything since. Well, it doesn't have anything to do

(29:09):
with boosters, and it does have to do with Canadian
Government's only the tes to Toronto. No, But I'm saying like,
if you got vaxed but never got a booster, and
the more time goes on, if you don't get a booster,
you are you sort of in that same category as
an unvaxed player. I don't know if it goes all
the way down to unvaxed Dr Steve, but yeah, they are. Well,
you're asking me as if I have a medical X. Yes.

(29:31):
I studied eight years of medicine before I got into radio.
It's the Canadian government that's saying you have to have
a second dose or the one dose of Johnson and
Johnson at least fourteen days before you get to the country.
I get it. I was just saying like, there's gonna
come a time where if, like in six months from now,
if you got vax a year and a half ago, yeah,
I would say to to give you great a better analogy.

(29:54):
If you got vaxed a year ago, right or early on,
it's the same as you have having have having had
COVID having anybody's never doing anything about it. And yeah,
neither person ever getting a booster right away. But even
your six six month example, that would be the end
of the baseball season. Yeah, that's true. They just haven't
changed their rules in kitch. As for games that already

(30:16):
took place this afternoon, the Dodgers seven and two now
with the Cincinnati Reds nine to one. You know, in
past years we've been able to see like the Pirates
early seasons with this team is going nowhere, or the
Padres a few years before, the Reds are going nowhere.
This is an awful team. They've lost six in a
row there, two and eight. I mean, they have a
thin roster, plus injuries. They're going nowhere. Freddie Freeman had

(30:37):
four hits three RBIs Stadium. So while the Dodgers are
seven and two of course, the Giants are seven in
two as well. They've won five in a row. X
Dodger Alex Wood with the win San Francisco eight one
winners against the Cleveland Guardians, and it was the Cubs
winning at Colorado six to four. Rockies record falls to
six and three. Baltimore with the five runs bottom of
the eighth beat the Yankees five nothing, Boston eight one

(30:59):
over minute Soda Toronto a four three winner against Oakland.
Toronto broadcaster Buck Martinez is stepping away to undergo cancer treatment.
As for the NBA playoffs, four more openers today after
the four games. Yesterday, Miami, top seed in the East,
whipped Atlanta one fifteen to ninety one. Trey Young at
the Hawks one of twelve shooting from the floor to
seed Boston one at the buzzer. A layup from Jason

(31:21):
Tatum beat Brooklyn one fourteen, Tatum with thirty one points.
Currently at Milwaukee, it's the Buck sev seventy four over
the Bulls with about eight minutes left in the game
and the Bulls are only shooting thirty four percent from
the floor in about a half an hour. The late game,
Number one Phoenix against New Orleans As for the NHL,
just six games total. They've got a couple of weeks

(31:42):
left in their regular season. St. Louis is leading eight
three at Nashville in the final couple of minutes. And yes,
the USFL will be on FS one tonight in about
twenty minutes with the Tampa Bay Bandits against the Pittsburgh
Maler's back to you, By the way, I feel as
though saying Washington full ball team and now the Commander's
feels way more natural. Like you know, I I never

(32:04):
slip up and say, oh, the Redskins, excuse me. I
feel like saying that Cleveland Guardians has taken a minute
for me. Like every time someone says that it still
sounds funny. Well l A Raiders Oakland writers that thing
here Guardians, and still slip every once in a while,
still say Tampa Bay Devil Rays once in a while
say and I'm the A. L. East Gidde Devil. Thank

(32:26):
you for coming back. Thanks Steve. It's Cavino and Rich
Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. You find us on social media at
Covino and Rich. Our buddy spot just posted a new
clip recently at Covino and Rich. Of course, Bobo and
Danny g are on the phones. Give us a call,
say what's something talking about these exaggerations and the what IF's.

(32:49):
Oh yeah, well I have a good I have a
good one if I want to get to in a
little bit. And I have to do with your Lakers,
Danny J. Bobo, I have a have a Lakers question
for you guys. But I think we'd be foolish not
to dive right into this Kyrie thing because it's it's
what's going on right now in the NBA. On Easter Sunday,

(33:09):
that game came down to the wire. I believe what
Tatum lay up wins it one, and the crowd in
Boston not kind to Kyrie because he, keep in mind,
he promised like yeah, I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna
win with you guys, and then he bailed. So there
is no love for Kyrie irving in Boston. But after

(33:30):
the game, if we have, if we do we have
the audio of Kyrie, I want you to take a
list of to Kyrie after the game. You know, it's
nothing new when I come into this building, what it's
gonna be like, But it's the same energy they have
for me, and I'm gonna have the same energy for them.
And it's not every fan. I don't want to attack
every fan, every Boston fan, but um, you know when
people start yelling and all this stuff is but so

(33:53):
much you can take as a competitor, and um, you
know we're the ones expected to be docile and be
humble and take humble approach the best the playoffs. So
he said fiddlesticks. There, we can't say that fiddle sticks
fiddlesticks And he did drop, you know, the energy line.

(34:14):
He's trying to match their energy rubber bigby buggy mumpers.
So he's not fe on it again. He got a
hard time in Boston, understandable passionate fans. They lost. He's salty,
and you think, I think, but I think we're seeing
I think we're seeing more real stuff infiltrate the world

(34:36):
of sports when it comes to fans, right, like like
that line of like, well you're a player and I'm
a fan, Like you're right, like you've always talked about.
You go to a store and someone's rude to someone
at the counter, It's like, what prevents that I will
come on the other side of that counter and whoop
your asks if you're you know, like you think my
minimum wage paycheck is keeping me behind this count. Yeah,
you've seen people in mouth off to someone at a
store and it's like, yo, just because you're counter say that. However,

(35:00):
this was my example. There's a difference here. Okay. I
worked in old timey times terrestrial radio. I worked at
k Rock in New York City on might come up right,
So you know, you would do live broadcast, had a
lot of aggressive concerts, and people would be drinking, and
people would be badgering me, like as if I was

(35:22):
the guy who represented k Rock radio. Yeah, they'd be like, yo,
you suck f k Rock and they would like throw
things at your van right, the right, the radio van. Right.
So so in this scenario, you have to realize they're
harassing me. So what's to stop me to at one
point eventually say I've had enough. They're harassing me. You guys,

(35:46):
you guys, Danny Jim Bubbo. I don't think they never
heard the theory. Yeah. I don't know what we can
say on Fox, but let's just say a listener in
New York Cavino was working an event for k Rock
some guy. We're talking like old school radio wars. There
would be radio wars in New York and in every city.
Someone climbed on the hood of Cavino's k Rock van

(36:09):
he was driving, drop their draws and took a number
two on the car. Was like, what are you doing.
I'm just a promo guy on the promo guy that hangs.
This is before like I was on the mike. Yeah,
I'm just on my come up and my points. I
would have aggressive fans in my face telling me I sucked,
and it's like, well, hey man, I'm just a person

(36:31):
and I can easily just step behind this booth and
punch you in the nose. Well, hold on, does that
mean that Kyrie has that? Seem right? Think about it
and we'll take your feedback, your thoughts on Kyrie and
how he's handling the Boston fans. Next right here on
Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's Cavino and Rich for the

(36:53):
Dollar Shave Club six plade razor brings noticeably smooth shades
with six stainless steel blades for swift terror removal and
a lubricating strip that keeps staying smooth. Dollar Shave Club
razors are sold at dollar Shave Club dot com or
in stores. Nice Cavino, Steve Cavino, that's Rich Davis. Happy Easter,

(37:15):
Happy pass over weekends. I hope you had a nice
day with your friends and family as eggs trying to
avoid those mini canberry eggs. The best that you can
shout out to my peeps, was there the best candy
on planet Earth? Now? I know Spotty is here, Bobo,
Danny g Steve to singer. What a crew man, What
a crew what a croup? You're having a good day now?

(37:36):
The question here is and we're gonna talk baseball and fights,
and oh man, we got a hot take on USFL.
Rich does Rich has a real hot take on USFL.
Don't you Rich? You know what, just because you're saying
that to set me up, I'm gonna now find a
hot tail on USFL. You off the air, you couldn't
stop talking you. It was it was hot. If you

(37:58):
think you're setting me up for some time of like, oh, Rich,
tell him I will come up with the hottest take
on that's you know, because there's there's games this weekend, bro,
And I feel like I feel like it came out
of left field, right. It's like bro as Barney Stinson said,
challenge accepted. No, Actually, we're talking about Kyrie and the
question is are we all on the same playing field,

(38:18):
and the answers no, that's my take. Kyrie went back
at the Boston fans. Boston fans were doing what Boston
fans do. They were giving Kyrie a hard time for
obvious reasons. He made promises to them that he didn't keep. Now,
I want to play the sound bite, but I also
want to go to the phone, so Rich, let's put

(38:39):
this sound real quick. This is what Kyrie said about
the Boston fans after the game. You know, it's nothing
new when I come into this building what it's gonna
be like. But it's the same energy they have for me,
and I'm gonna have the same energy for them. And
it's not every fan. I don't want to attack every fan,
every Boston fan, but um, you know when people start yelling,
when all this stuff is but so much, you can

(38:59):
take it say as a competitor, and um, you know
we're the ones expected to be docile and be humble
and take a humble approach the best of playoffs. I'm
I'm not man. There's a level of professionalism. Look, you
gotta say, shame on you fans, right, but fancy, what
do you expect from somebody's fans after their boozing the
whole time to stoop to their level. It's just not

(39:20):
worth it. And you've got you got a lot more
to lose when you're Kyrie. He's not a good look
blake in Arkansas. You're all with rich your thoughts on Kyrie.
He's a bump, deserves everything that's coming to him. He's
so it's like guiding a hot woman when you're after her.

(39:41):
When you're guiding her, you'll do anything. You'll put up
with that garbage. But at a starting point which you've
had enough, just as soon buy a fat girl because
I've had it. I was gonna say, I love your analogy.
I'm sure many thing it's like old school show but instinct,
but I think it's fantastic analogy. Um let me tell
you it. It dating a really attractive woman or ladies

(40:03):
dating an attractive guy, you do put up with more crap.
And I think the threshold of annoyance from Kyrie is
higher because he's so freaking good. Well, what do you
think about this? Is he stooping to their level. Is
this the way it should be nowadays? We'll take your
feedback next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Alright, Happy

(40:26):
Easter Sunday. I hope you had a great weekend. And
Errol Spence sort of weekend, a nasty Nestor sort of weekend.
Nasty Nestor Cortez. The Yankees Ace strikes out twelve and
they lose five. Nothing a stink. It's Fox Sports Radio,
Fox Sports Sunday ten game in over reaction, the Yankee stinker.

(40:47):
They're terrible, They're They're just garbage to watch, they really are.
They just stink. You can't score one run. They scored
one run yesterday, zero runs today against the Baltimore Orioles.
Give me a break, yet I watched like a sucker.
You know what, I've never got in to gambling on
baseball until this year, and knock on wood. So far,

(41:10):
so good because I have the simplest strategy ever. Okay,
I mean could end up being the lamest strategy. And
you can say, well, the money lines will mess you
up eventually. But if you in your own mind rank who,
you would say maybe the top ten to twenty pitchers
in baseball any time they don't play a top tier team.

(41:33):
I'm taking them on the money line, thinking even if
it's mine pitching, he always beats like average hitting. I
just think there's as Steve the Sager pointed out earlier,
I don't know if he's in the news room now
or he's uh getting a machiatto. But Steve, you were saying,
you were saying, like the red stink right, any time

(41:56):
a marquee pitcher plays the Reds. Yes, to me, the
money line is gonna be like minus to ten or
two hundred. I get if the Dodgers or the Mats
or Braves or someone good plays the Reds, if Shares
there's pitching or Kershaw or Bueller, I just feel like
that's a good bet because how often are the bottom
feeder is gonna beat the ace? Right? An ace pitcher

(42:18):
might have five losses all year. Do you think one
of those losses is going to come to the Marlins
of the Reds. You said, it's a simple strategy. I'm
gonna see how go. So far it's been treating me well,
so it makes sense. So we're Fox Sports Radio, Cavino
and Rich at Covino and Rich on social media, say
what's up or give us a call. Eight seven seven Fox,
You have lots of nonsense to get to. But we're

(42:40):
talking about Kyrie right now. Don't forget. We have to
get to Rich's hot take about the usfl Oh yeah,
we're really I'm really excited about that. I can't wait
for that. I can't wait. But it's gonna be a doozy.
I hope you had a happy Easter, Happy pants over.
Let's have a great rest of our weekend, and let's
get to your phone calls. So Kyrie snaps back at
the Boston Ants again. They have good reason to hate

(43:02):
on this dude, right they do. He snaps back at them,
claps back at them, whatever expression do you want to use.
That's on you, And I say shame on him. I
do because it's not an even playing field. He's a
professional basketball player. He's at his job. I'm not saying
that people have the right to stoop and be garbage right,

(43:27):
because that's what they are. But I think the mentality
he should be better. He has a lot more to
lose the mentality of you play professional sports and get
paid a lot of money, so I could treat you
like dirt. I think that's an old school mentality, but
it's not rich because they have a lot more to lose.
That is where the problem lies. I'm not I'm not
backing up Kyrie on all his moves. I'm saying you're
not gonna go to a car dealership, walk in and

(43:49):
be like, hey you over there, Hank, you suck at
selling cars if you and like you want to do that.
And if you go to Ralphs to get some some
bread and the cashier you don't say I like them.
I'm not seeing fans don't need to be better. They do,
but two wrongs don't make it right. I'm not so
by Kyrie stooping to the level we alright, fine, right,
we all admit fans are garbage sometimes, So then why

(44:11):
should the players stoop to that garbage level. They have
a lot more to lose and there at their job, right.
So we talked about back in the day when I
worked at k Rock and New York and people would
come up to me and it was like, dude, I
had nothing to lose, right I could. I could have
hopped over the barricade there and punched a guy right
in the nose, but it didn't because my job meant

(44:33):
more to me, and I wasnt gonna stoop to their
crappy level. So imagine, so now brodre car nowar bro
Old School back then set like Jupe. Back then it
was like Fahrenheit a fahrenheits to Phoenix, drink my most news,

(44:55):
My my, that's my stee. So anyway, my point is
even I, who had nothing, had a level of professionalism
where I didn't stoop to that angry drunken fans level.
You had nothing, You had a bottle of a John
Paul here. So so why in the world would we
say it's okay for Kyrie to do that? Because why
we we all bleed the same blood. We're all people.

(45:16):
Guess what this dude is on the court. He is better,
he should conduct himself as better. You sorry, man, I
don't agree you, Steve. I agree that everybody has a
breaking point. I understand that. But you're you're the first.
I mean, we so happened with Will Smith, right, You're
the first that when someone on social media it's like
your coarino, you stink. You you write them back and
hit him back and say you know what, you stink.

(45:38):
That's funny though, But Kyrie can't can't clap back at
some fans. Some fans like, yo, if you kiver, you stink,
He can't be like, well guess what if do you stink? Ah?
Come on, Bucks just beat the Bulls by the way,
nine three to eighties six. Wow, that went down through

(46:00):
the wire. So there you go. Congratulations honest and the
Bucks they're up one game to none over the Bulls.
Speaking of basketball, so guys, again, it does seem to
be a different world. We're living in cadeem hardist and style.
So do you think it's okay that the that the
players are now taking the power back and saying, you
know what, you're gonna heckle us, We're gonna heckle you. Yeah,

(46:23):
I'm it suffers, you know what Bill maher like, and
we're not. I don't care what your political views are,
that's not what I'm talking about. But he recently said
that comedy suffering because comedians are more concerned with the
haters and hecklers than they are with their comedy, right,
so they're getting heckled. And again it's just taking the
powerback sort of mentality like you're gonna heckle me, I'm

(46:43):
gonna heckle you instead of keeping your cool right and
it's going about your business like a professional. What happens
is the content suffers. You're off your routine, You're you're
not providing comedy. It's no longer funny. You're angry now
right and you know to pick you as agreed because
you let it get under your skin. What have we
said for years? Rich? For years? Who angers you? Controls you?

(47:06):
So Kyrie instead of just playing his game and being
above it, he's now heckling back with the players. I
don't let people bother me, little nanny an poof poof,
don't hurt anybody, And truthfully, I don't. Did you say
that any that? Any poof poof, poof poof? That's why
you suck? Can you know you suck? Bro? Bro? I
went to school with a bunch of foreign kids used

(47:28):
to say that, ain't Thattie poof poof? Hey, bro, don't
tell me you hang it up the kids to Bama school.
I was like, I stink? How about you stink? And
I was even at that. You know what, I'm not
gonna waste my hot take on this. I'm saving it
for the usflright. I can't wait stand by for we

(47:49):
gotta countdown on that. My point is just because it
seems to be the way of the world now where
you know there's there's no there's no more invisible sort
of blurred line that separates the players from the fans.
That doesn't make it right. The fans aren't right. I'm
not I'm not giving in on my opinion here. I

(48:10):
just think that we're realizing more and more that we've
for generations accepted the fact that people taunt athletes. They'll
be athletes that have family members who passed away, and
there's something dude in the outfield at a Phillies game
or Yankees game or Red Sox game, taunting a guy
who's like, mom died, Like, there are times witness there

(48:32):
are times where where you know, I've witnessed this. I
remember being in the bleachers with the creatures in the
Bronx and they were hecklin, somebody who's who's Who's relative dieing,
pushing up daisies Jesus. I was like, what is going
I didn't even know if they were talking. I was like,
oh my god, it's vicious. And again, these are the

(48:53):
bottom dollers of the earth, So why are we Okay,
withersial athletes and that they're Yankee bleacher creatures the bottom
of the bottom. So is that going to get into
the skin of an athlete? Sure, because we're all just human.
Let me but we can't justify that it's okay for
it to go both ways. Let's let's just acknowledge it's wrong.

(49:16):
Fans need to be better, you know what a great
fancy to be better, but players need to also be
a little tough skin. No litterally get a little tough skin. Um,
we'll take Emma's phone call, but I have one quick
story to wrap up this Kyrie conversation. When I was
living in New York. You guys know the story, but
Danny J. Bobo and everyone that's never heard this is
one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed in my life.

(49:36):
I'm at this little coffee shop. It was like I
roy it was. It was like this little cafe. It
even had like a name that I hated. Like, what
was it called spot the little coffee shop outside the
old Series Sex m building in New York City? I
see it. It was something like it pink Hold, So

(50:03):
what was it? There's a guy, This is great there's
a there's a dude standing behind the counter, and some
customers like yo, guy. And this guy's like, yo, where's
my coffee? And the guy's like, I'm making a man,
give me a second. Two seconds later, the guys like, yo,

(50:26):
I'm running late, where's my coffee? Talking to you? And
this guy behind the counter it's like, yo, I don't
got time for this. S rips off his work shirt.
He's bare chested, jumps over the counter. He's like, oh,
I say. He's like, you want to say that to
me right now? It's eight am? What you got? And
I was like, oh my god, this is the greatest

(50:47):
thing I've ever seen. I got some poison for the
spider homes. And the guy, the guy that was all bossy.
The customer was like, you're very lucky because I gotta
get out of here because I have a very important meeting.
Storms out of there. But this worker was like, yo,
just because you're on the other side of the counter,
just because you're a fan in the stands, just because

(51:08):
you're doesn't mean you're you're not gonna get punts in
the nose. Yeah you are. You're always taking a chance.
Every person has a breaking point, you can't keep pressing
somebody's button and think that they're gonna go. You know,
this is my job. I have to deal with it. No, Eventually, Peo,
we're gonna get to that point, Bobo. More and more
we're seeing the attitude of hey, you know, I'm gonna

(51:28):
come I'm gonna come back at you like you're supposed
to be better than you're lucky. I have a very
important meeting alright that Emmett in Olympia. You're on with
Kevin and Rich Vino, Rich, Danny g Bobo spot Happy
Easter guys, Yes, sir, now, I wanted to point out
something I actually saw on Twitter. We're waiting to the NBA,

(51:50):
and it doesn't always the Kyrie, right. I thought it
was interesting. So when Rudy Gobert got nominated for the
Defensive Player of the ward uh the Fense Player of
the Year award a couple of hours ago, I see
this tweet and it basically says, you know, kind of
complaining against how he you know, should not be there
because multiple of the top centers have you know, dropped

(52:11):
fifty on him, like you know, it was a Yo
kitchen mb and all that. So I just kind of
want to know is that valid because for me, you know,
I see where the point is. But also I feel
like the defensive player the year work kind of goes
to you know, people who block shots, like Rudy Gobert,
Like I mean, I mean a lot of NBA players
just allow fifty points. I mean it happens sometimes, like

(52:31):
especially against m B who's one of the best scores
in the NBA. It's just it's a great question, Emmett,
because I feel like there's certain awards in sports that
are so subjective to me. And I've always thought that
to come to mind. Defensive Player of the Year in
the n b A and you might agree that Gold
Glove winners in Major League Baseball now summer summer obvious,

(52:54):
Ozzie Smith when when Cavino and I were kids, And
you know, there are certain guys that are automatic, right,
But then there's other times whe're like, really, like are
you judging him on the difficulty of his place? How
many what's his percentage of put outs? Like I think
there are things that are objective, like Nolan Arronado every
year is the best third basement? Are we just sure

(53:14):
as or is it just because of his reputation. Don't
you do you know what I'm saying. No, I do, Yeah,
I think it's I agree with you, though, Ammon. I
think that it's it's what he does not and I
don't think it matters that guys scored on him. I don't.
I mean, we're talking about when the best in the
league scored on him, right, and he blocks everybody else.

(53:37):
It's an interesting question. Thank you, Emmon, Thank you every
for the call. We appreciate you. At A seven seven
on Fox. Can I tweet this out right now to
think the guy that started COVID, however, you know, is
the defensive player of the year. That's pretty awesome. Yes,
what's Rich has a hot take on the USFL. I'm
tweeting it out on the FSR account. Can't wait? All right? Awesome,

(53:59):
my hot is the hot takes on the USFL. Plus,
I got something that'll get us all thinking. It's it's
what possibly one of the biggest what ifs in sports
that no one talks about enough, we'll break it down
next right here in Coveno and Rich. Happy Easter. Anyone

(54:19):
that can sing along to this song, I'll give you
a techmobile high five. Informer down, detective movement down in
farmer So how it goes bom mom down, That's how
it goes man, Yeah, Copino, Enrich on Fox Sports Sunday, Bobo,

(54:45):
Danny g Spotty, Steve the Sager, Steve Covino, and Rich Davis.
Perhaps you know us from Serious six sim Perhaps you
follow us on Patreon We appreciate that Patreon dot com
slash Covino and Rich. Perhaps you know us from the
Store to Store the late Great Greats. You've seen me
getting free samples at Costco. That's me. I'm Steve Covino.

(55:08):
That is Rich Davis, Happy Easter, Happy pass Over weekend.
He's the guy that takes free coffee at Trader Joe.
That's me. It's me little coffee Trader Jose. So I
saw you guys on this TV show for it rhymes
with ESPN. Yeah, I think you've got canceled. Yeah. I
blame it on the pandemic pandemic. I blame everything I

(55:29):
see this extra thirty pounds, I got pandemic on the pandemic. Pandemic. Dude.
You know what, let's let's scrap up this Kyrie conversation
because I have another interesting thought about it. Kyrie. You know,
he's clapping back at the fans in Boston. He's a
professional athlete and these are numb skulls that are drinking,

(55:51):
having having a good time, you know, at the at
the game. Does that give them the right to you know,
across the line. No, it doesn't. And if we can
acknowledge that their scum of the earth, right, because I
I don't, I don't he called players like that. I
don't do that, but I'll boost somebody. If we all

(56:13):
could acknowledge that that's garbage behavior from a fan, How
can anyone justify that it's okay for the player to
retaliate the same way and it be okay. It's listen,
it's not. And I'll tell you what. You know what
I just saw before we go to the call, I
just hold on. I want to give props with her
due Tony Callen hit us up. Tony Callen on social

(56:35):
media at Covino and Rich Kyrie flipping the double bird
behind his head, Like what a classless act that is. Now,
I'm not saying what they were doing. The fans, we're
we're classy. I'm not saying it's a class moved by
the fans but this guys, this guy at a family
friendly event, right, the guy that people pay good money

(56:57):
to see, a guy who he assumes in a act
like a professor. He's flipping the bird to the fans.
So you're saying, in your rankings of classy where you
have James Lennon Jr. And Freddie Blassie, Ye, he's right now,
not today, not after that. He let the fans. Dude,
any time in life you let anyone get under your skin.
He who controls you your best never shines through after that.

(57:19):
He who angers man, you lose your cool. William in
Austin one of my favorite places. What's up, William? You're on?
Could be so I'm on definitely the side of the
athletes said it like kind of let it go. But
at the same time, I worked service industry and the
type of people that can afford those seats just sorry

(57:42):
to like bartenders, waiters every so. I can't even imagine
how they react when they get drunk in a ball
game and they're within an earshot, you know what I mean.
It's like a little back and forth, like you know what, man,
I'm gonna tell you a story story. I'm not but

(58:03):
one time rich. Now. We were interviewing kid Rock and
I asked him the stupidest question, which is no surprise.
So we're hanging out with kid Rock, and I think
it was like a theme that we were just asking
people this question. I said, kid Rock, my man. He said,
what's up, Cavino, good to see you. It's been a while.
Kid Rock, bring it in. We bro hugged, we mashed helmets.

(58:24):
Kid Rock. When you're laying like you kid Rock, Yes,
he does. He's like my man, Caveno. I don't know
about that. I said, kid Rock, when you're laying it
down in the bedroom when it's sexy time for you.
True story. Literally, second question you asked me, I said,
I think he's the first question I asked him. I go,
what kind of music do you listen to? And he said, man,

(58:48):
if you're worried about the music, then you ain't laying
it down. And he was so right about that. He goes,
if you're listening to music, then you ain't doing it right.
And then he said then he said, if you do
it in the afternoon. No. No. My analogy here is
Kyrie is so worried about the fans, worry about the game.
Man you you hear people when you talk about the zone.

(59:10):
They're not here in the fans. You're here flipping the
bird to families and fans who are heckling you. I
know that's I know they suck, but I think you're
not focused on the game if you're flipping the bird
at the fans. He's playing on the road in a
city that he did a little dirty. I think it's

(59:30):
a I think it's a fun back and forth. You
might say it's dramatic. I think Boston and Kyrie hating
each other is good for the NBA. Now this is
this is where it goes too far. Did you guys
see earlier this week when Miles bridges through his mouth
guard into the stands and it hit a girl in
the cheek. That's too much, But but you know it
was also too much like a loser fan that was

(59:51):
hanging over the brawling. That was like, as to screw
that guy. They're all buffoons. Be do than that. That's
a lesson, be better than than all the sheep. And
then it goes back to this, you know, would you
conduct yourself in such a way as a fan? Hopefully
the answers no, would you conduct yourself that way as

(01:00:13):
a professional. Hopefully the answer is no, and if you would,
you don't value your job. I'm sorry you don't. All right, um,
I got my big what if? But I just want
to ask you one other simple question. We'll go around
the room. Is it odd to you when you scroll
through social media on a holiday and there's like Instagram
models that don't even acknowledge it's like easter or passover,

(01:00:35):
and it's just like, here's my butt. It's like, you
know it's easter. You don't even take a time out,
so sc it's like like it's like you see it
on Christmas to it all holidays? Like like it though, No,
it's it's it's the equivalent of like save the Dolphins,
here's my butts, passover, just drop the pea. But yeah, exactly,
it's that's but it's the same thing as like happy holidays,

(01:00:59):
here's my It makes no sense. I'm always fascinated. You
scroll through and it's like, yeah, you're looking for some
news updates or sports update you like I want to
I roll rich, but I just like it instead. Did
you guys see that clip on SNL when Jake Killenhall
was on a week ago, they did a fake game
show called why did you like the Instagram post? If
you get a chance looking up later on Hulu or

(01:01:19):
you the bottom line, no matter what, is because you
really just want to get that person's attention to eventually
seep with him. Yeah alright, well let me cross that
off Instagram? What you like Instagram? Thirst on holidays? Bridges?
I think there's is there one more phone call about Kyrie? Guys? Yeah,
Mark in l A. Let's wrap it up with Mark

(01:01:40):
again if you just joined US. I feel like Rich
is trying to push off his hot take on the USFL. Yeah,
it's gonna be suspense. Can't wait building suspense to wrap
it up? Kyrie sort of lost his cool and guys
to tie it back into sports? What did marvelous Marvin
Hagler used to say back in the day when he
used to promote right Guard. He used to say, never

(01:02:03):
let him see you sweat. You know what I see
when I see Kyrie acting like a little baby? Is
that why you still use right Card? I used the
can like my dad did. Cand will be frozen. What
I saw was Kyrie sweating a bunch of like queenies

(01:02:25):
who were heckling him and and they lost it. Did
to make it better? Wrap it up? Mark in l A.
You're on the show. What's up? Marky? Mark? Yeah? Well yeah,
what up? Fellas he have to me? Kyrie is just
so damn sensitive. It's sitting of him the flat earther.
That's what you expect that the Boston fans they were saying,
not anything derogatory. They're just saying he's a bomb. He's
soft and he is the way he bolted out of

(01:02:46):
town and the way that Boston could the teammates couldn't
wait for him to leave. And he's just as great
as he is. I think he's just a cancer and
I love it. I hope to because do you know
the Boston fans are gonna keep doing it to him?
And I hope to. Do you want to talk about
like real talking? I mean, you see the way fans
give it to Tray Young and he loves it. I
love that guy. Happy Easter, Mark, You shut up a crowd,

(01:03:13):
you play like Trey Young, That's yeah it is, And
you play back to the crowd like Tray Young. Mark.
Way to wrap up that conversation. That's a babam perfect
way to end this conversation, thank you, because what has changed?
Think about it? What has changed? Fans have been heckling
players since the beginning of time. Okay, that's just how

(01:03:35):
it is. Opposing teams get heckled. We got these softy
pants who can't take anymore. And the only way to
shut them up is to play like Trey Young plays.
And here she who angers you controls you. And just
always remember if man, it's like when someone if you

(01:03:55):
have a nickname that you don't want people to call
you, you you know how you can ensure people keep calling
you that get mad about it? Right, And so Kyrie
has just ensured himself the rest of this series. He
will be destroyed. Um. Now, before we go to Steve
the Saga with an update. UM, Earlier, I was talking

(01:04:16):
about my theory on relativity, my theory on gambling on baseball. Now,
don't take my word for anything, don't take my advice,
but I will throw out something I was. I was
looking at tomorrow's baseball lines and to go out my
theory of power pitchers or good teams playing bottom feeders

(01:04:36):
and try to do that tomorrow. I sort of like
the Padres at home over the Red's money line. And
parlay that with the Dodgers at home versus the Braves
who were traveling late tonight tomorrow. I know, I know,
it's just up the coast to Los Angeles, but he
got Kershaw going second start of the year. So I

(01:04:58):
like Kershaw money money line, Dodgers money line, Padres versus
the Reds two team parlay. I think that that's my
pick tomorrow. I'm gonna give you the sweet Hollywood producer line.
I like it. I like it, Gold, Baby, Gold like it. Alright,
Steve to say, what's going on, my man, Let's start
with the NBA as Trey Young today was one of

(01:05:20):
twelve shooting from the floors that suck. At top seed Miami.
The Heat won fifine one. The final bo Brooklyn's Kyrie
Irving with thirty nine points in a loss at Boston
one fifteen one fourteen Jayson Tatum with the layup at
the buzzer to win. He at thirty one points. Milwaukee

(01:05:41):
beat Chicago six. The late game is underway at number
one Phoenix and the Sons in the first quarter lead
nineteen nine against the Pelicans New Orleans, shooting four of
eighteen from the floor. Three playoff games on Monday nights,
starting with Toronto at Philadelphia in the NHL St. Louis
and eight three winner at Nashville. Hockey's regular season ends
in two weeks. Florida won its tenth game in a

(01:06:02):
row six one at Detroit, and Minnesota clinched a playoff
berth with an overtime win this evening against San Jose
five to four. The Sharks have lost ten in a row.
Washington will clinch playoff birth if the Islanders lose tonight
in regulation, and right now the Islanders are losing three
two at Toronto to start the third period. They're just
Island boys, just trying to make it. Just Island boy,

(01:06:24):
just trying to make it. Steve sing along, We're not
Jordan's Speakes was a golf winner in a playoff over
Patrick Candley at hilton Head, South Carolina. The USFL was
going to be on FS one tonight, but that game
postponed due to weather. It'll be tomorrow night on FS one,
seven pm Eastern time. The Tampa Bay Bandits against the
Pittsburgh Maulers and the first game of the day. They're

(01:06:45):
in Birmingham. All the regular season games are in Birmingham.
That was delayed by an hour at the start due
to bad weather. Eventually, the Houston Gamblers got a seventeen
nothing halftime lead and beat the Michigan Panthers coached by
Jeff Fisher. Michigan lost seventeen twelve. NASCAR's Dirt Race at
Bristol is on Fox TV. However, due to rains, there

(01:07:08):
in a delay on lap one fifty out of two fifty.
We'll see if they're able to resume. It's Chase Brisco
in the league. Christopher Bell is running second. The Sunday
night ball game has San Diego Padres at home, leading
to one over the Braves in the bottom of the seventh.
The Padres got two in the second ending, one on
a basis loaded hit batter and then another on a
fielder's choice grounder. Finally, Atlanta responded top of the seventh

(01:07:31):
solo homer from Marcelo Zuna. So it is now end
of seven to one Padres. That I'm liking that I
did a not sounding of degenerate, But I did live
bet during this game when it was to nothing. It
was I bet the Braves plus two and a half
and it was like minus one thirty, so I was like,
so I like that this game is close translation that

(01:07:52):
it would be a close game at the end. Its exactly.
I was like, yeah, damn, come on, let's go. Thank you,
Steve the Seger, You're welcome. I'm gonna buy Steve the
Sagar a cameo from the Island Boys. He's the Steve
Sager giving sports updates. Steve de Sagers Sports up Day.

Happy Easter, Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio eight ninety
nine on Fox the I Heart Radio app. If you
missed any of our show Fox Sports Radio dot com,
please subscribe to our podcast, Fox Sports Radio dot Com.
Hit us up at Covino and Rich. I'm Steve Covino.

(01:08:35):
That's Rich Davis. How about the crazy what if? That
no one talks enough about? And even though Laker legends
are trying to make it seem like they want nothing
to do with it. I caught up last night. I'm
up to date, which is why I'm excited. Tonight. Winning

(01:08:57):
Time on HBO, all about the Lakers rise to dominance
in the eighties. Starts off in when Jerry Bust buys
the team, if you don't watch this show, I'm telling you,
I'm giving it, like the guarantee, the George Forban guarantee,
generalte I give it. I give it, the Men's Warehouse guarantee.

(01:09:19):
That's another one. Right, you're gonna like the way you look,
I guarantee it. I'm gonna give you every guarantee. This
show is fantastic. John c Riley as Dr Bussy Danny
g you gotta be loving this being that you're a
Lakers guy, Bobo. If you're not watching, I feel like
I want to see you down and make you watch
where the hell you He's gonna get it Emmy for

(01:09:39):
that role. Yes, I completely agree. He's so it's so great.
I completely agree with Jason seagull is Paul west Head.
You have pat Riley played by Adrian Brody, which I'm
waiting to see when the hair slick starts. Maybe that
maybe this week is when the hair slick happens. Norm
Nixon's son plays North. Oh dude, I didn't know that

(01:10:00):
that plays Magic Johnson is so good. Everything about this show. Yeah,
it's fantastic. Is really if you love sports, even if
you just love good television. I really do think it's
so well. I was gonna say that, Rich, I don't
think you need to care about the Lakers at all,
or basketball at all for that matter, to appreciate the
story that's going on here. Jerry Bus making the Forum

(01:10:20):
Lounge like a nightclub, Genie Buss looking through her dad's
photo album of nudes. You don't go the way out.
We all knew, we all knew, especially out here on
the West Side, right Bobo, that Paula Abdul was a
Laker girl, But I didn't know she was that influential
on on setting that sort of Laker girl tone like

(01:10:41):
she was if you want to according to the story,
if you want, I mean, this is exaggerations in this
TV show, right, So maybe that's not completely factual, but
she was just another dancer. If you do watch Winning
Time on HBO all about the Lakers rise, you do
realize at when Jerry Bust buys the team, the NBA

(01:11:03):
is not in a great spot, and they're like, how
do we get attention? And they tried to have like
rocket girls doing like kick line and stuff, and Jerry Buss,
who was sort of a playboy at the time see
John c Riley spot. You do it better. John c
Riley like, we want sexy, we want yeah sexy. So yeah,

(01:11:27):
the story goes, hold on, I'm getting it. The story goes,
is that Paula ab Duel into the Yeah, you realize
that Paula Abduel is influential in being like she makes

(01:11:49):
the sex. She's the Lakers girl. She turns cheerleaders into dancers.
The dancers now and that was sort of her where
initially where Paula Abdul got discovered. Then music videos and
dancing and paul will become an international superstar in the
eighties and nineties. Realized what a prominent role she played
in the story again according to this HBO Max side

(01:12:11):
of things, but but such a fun one. She was
a choreographer before she was I knew that, and she
was a Laker girl, but they really make her out
to be like the one and she started all this,
And if you're a Lakers fan or just follow the NBA,
it is sort of cool to, even if it is exaggerated,
to see Genie Buss's relationship with her dad and how

(01:12:32):
it was clear that she was always sort of like
his baby girl and she was going to eventually take over.
You could tell that she was so invested in what
her dad was doing with the Lakers. Dr Buss. Now
here's the crazy what if I want to throw at you.
There's so many great what ifs in sports, right. What
if Drew Bledsoe never got hurt with Tom Brady go
on to be the goat? Would have done Mattingly never

(01:12:55):
heard his back? Would he have won all those rings
with the Yankees? There's so many the whole thing, so
many great what ifs. There's so many legends we lost
early college legends, meaning like Hank Gathers and what if
Zion Williamson didn't gain forty I didn't too many crawfish?
What would Zion be doing right now? No, but you

(01:13:15):
see all these stories of what ifs in sports, right, Injuries,
untimely deaths, all these things play a factor if you're
watching this show. I don't even know if Laker fans
are even younger. Laker fans are so in the loop
on Jack McKinney. If I never lost the bust Douglas?
What if Mike Tyson never lost the bust to Douglass?

(01:13:37):
What if I never went to Tokyo. Jack McKinney was
hired as the head coach of the Lakers. He coached
fourteen games after Jerry West. After Jerry West. When when
when Dr Bust bought the team and Jerry West and
I'm step but you know I'm out, but I'm gonna
be part of the behind the scenes to the front office.
Jack McKinney coaches fourteen games. Apparently he was like a wizard,

(01:14:00):
like a basketball wizard, like changed offensive schemes and everything.
Took it real serious. I don't think a lot of
people knew him, according to the story, but they're like,
trust in him. This guy knows his basket. One of
the episodes is called who the F Is Jack McKinney,
And you realize this guy coach fourteen games fell off
a bicycle in a freak accident. By the way, when

(01:14:22):
you saw this episode, you went right to Wikipedia, didn't you? YEA,
because I did. I'm like, that's when you know it
shows great Danny g You know when you have to
go right after the episode, you have to go look
it up and see what the facts are because you're like,
you're so intrigued by it. So McKinney never returns to
coach the Lakers, so it creates a whole butterfly. When

(01:14:44):
you say bike accident, we're talking like he's on a
ten speed, not a motorcycle. Like we're talking like he's
in his brakes fail or whatever. He goes flying off
his bike and like breaks his head and yeah wild.
So the butterfly effect that follows I want to dive
into next right here. You know, Rich, the what if
Happy Easter Sunday? You got it on Fox Sports radio

(01:15:08):
people acting like they didn't love Creed. You still have
your Scott stap post. This is what if, Rich, because
that's what we're talking about, the big one ifs and
sports and we're talking Lakers. Turn it up, man, this
is some Creed. Don't act like you hate. What's your
favorite Creed song if you had to pick one back
in the day you dead? What if you lie? What

(01:15:35):
if my Creed song is torn? Man? What if his
solo career actually took off? What if? Yeah? So, anyway
we are Cavino and Rich. I think you're gonna say
my sacrifice with almost shirts winick me not Torn is
a really good one. Man. By the way, perhaps you've

(01:15:56):
heard me play some of that on Sex m Turbo
on the same Caveno rock Guy. That's Rich Davis from
Pop two K Pop Tupai Po Pop Tupai on sx M.
Might be you might be listening to us on s
x M eighty three is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday,
Happy Easter Weekend, Happy pass Over Weekend. Talking about the

(01:16:18):
what ifs? What if? Now? If you're watching Winning Time
on HBO, this is where I got the thought we
learned as as you said and Danny g back you up.
You know the show is interesting when in episodes over
you immediately hop on the internet and start googling. Wait
a minute, Wait a second, you go to God. Yeah,

(01:16:41):
you go to the Google machine. Learn. We learned a
lot about Dr Jerry Buss, his family, Paula Abdul, Magic Johnson,
his relationship. I love the part where he sort of
just dismisses Nike and they show what Magic would have

(01:17:02):
had nineties stock options down on billions. My wife said, well,
you know, if you want to play the what if game,
She goes, well, what if Magic did go with Nike,
and then Michael Jordan's didn't. Who's to say Nike would
have worked out the way it did. These are all
what ifs. And it brings us to the Biggest One.
Ifsterfly Butterfly? Is that Dr Jerry Buss? Yeah? But what

(01:17:27):
if I didn't put the team in my wife's name.
I'm glad I played in my wife's name. Well, if
you're watching the Big One. If Jack McKinney coaching a
coaching mind that seemed at the time was so different,
he he coached deffinitely differently than anyone else. He had

(01:17:49):
the template for the showtime Lakers of the eighties. The
guy coached fourteen games, fell off a bicycle in a
weird accident, never coach again for the Lakers. Paul past Head,
his assistant who's like teaching Shakespeare in college six months
before that, ends up coaching a championship Lakers team for
one year. He's out, and then a very hungry, ambitious

(01:18:13):
pat Riley takes over. So the biggest what if I
know I said it before. What if Drew Bledsoe never
got hurt with Tom Brady? Have ever really got a chance?
If Mike Tyson didn't get knocked out by holy Field,
I'm sorry by Buster Douglas. What if you know this accident,
her death didn't happen. If McKinney didn't get hurt. Would

(01:18:37):
we know pat Riley? Did pat Riley benefit more than
anyone else other than maybe Tom Brady on someone else's
Like we said last week, when you look up pat
Riley and again this might be Tuton common knowledge for
most people when you look up his Wikipedia, his resume,
the dude one on every level from that from that

(01:19:00):
point on, he won as an assistant coach, as a
head coach five times. Whatever he want as a player,
he had already won as a player already he won
in the front office to do just kept winning and
and is highly considered unless you if you take Phil
Jackson out the mix, he's probably the most touted revered

(01:19:21):
coach of the last fifty years. Pop Popovich too, You're right,
it's a good one. Pat Riley's in that conversation. Now
you might have just named the top three respected coaches.
I think the answer was pat Riley until Phil Jackson,
Phil Jackson, pat Riley and Povich. But would pat Riley

(01:19:43):
then out with though Craig T. Nelson in there for
my mount Rushmore he's a great coach. So I guess
we're asking you, like, what other what other? What ifs
in sports? Yeah, essentially, what what if? Has you up
at night the again? Oh my god? What if McKinney
never had that? What if if Tupac and Biggie were

(01:20:05):
still alive? Would the younger generation have loved them? If Nirvana?
If Kurt Cobain never died? What would have happened? So
your best and favorite what if? We'll take them next
right here on Covino and Rich. That's us, buddy, Cabino
and Rich, brought to you by one of our favorite cities.
We're gonna be there in a few weeks. Las Vegas.

(01:20:29):
It's the greatest arena on earth. Playing your trip today
at visit Las Vegas dot com. In fact, next weekend,
next weekend, see you there, there you go. How do
you think we got there? Visit Las Vegas dot com.
Oh by the way, guys, Bubbo, Danny j If we're
in Vegas next weekend and we're driving and we need
to be back for Fox Sports Radio five pm, what's

(01:20:51):
the latest you think we can leave Vegas driving one
o'clock at it? I was thinking and say, it's just
gonna say, you know how you were talking about brunch,
Better leave that bunch and I'm driving, so it'll it'll
be fast. Yeah, that traffic on the way back. Are
you taking your Mini cover piling him? That is our plan.

(01:21:14):
Will be in Vegas next weekend, coming back on Sunday
for next Sunday's Fox Sports Sunday with Cavino and Rich.
All right, we'll have some fun stories to share next Sunday.
Your feedback right now, and then I'll give you my
hot take on the usfl uh the what if, the
greatest what if no one talks about because people love
to talk about. Hey, what if the Blazers drafted Michael

(01:21:38):
Jordan's What if Tom Brady never got a chance and
Bledsoe never got hurt? What if this happened? What if that?
What if Mike Tyson never been the Holy Fields a year? Like,
there's a lot of what ifs in the world of sports.
What if this person saidly didn't die right? What if
this person wasn't injured? But if Canelo fought Mayweather in
his prime when you're both in their prime now Canelo

(01:21:59):
was one years old. I know there's lots of what ifs.
We're just doing out random once. I got one for you.
What if Dave Winfield, what what what what if Dave
Winfield war baseball pants and fit him? What if always
because he wore ballerina pants they were so tight? What
if Dave Winfield played another sport? As you guys know,
he was drafted in basketball and football. I got one.

(01:22:22):
Then what if was it Elway that was gonna be
on the Yankees? He was in the lineup with Donnie baseball?
Did you watch the Steinburner had him in the line
playing right field? I believe Yeah, what if Elway was
a Yankee? That would have been wild? But the big

(01:22:42):
one if that, I feel like no one talks about.
I think we're shedding some light on it with the
HBO show Winning Time about the Lakers. Jack McKinney, a
mastermind of an NBA, laid down all the groundwork for
for the Winning Dynasty. You always talk about how Buckshew
Walter built the nineties Yankees and Joe Tore gets the credit.

(01:23:05):
It's it's true. And and as this story goes, not
only Bucks Older and Jean Stick Michael, they were all
involved in creating that dynasty. And then Joe Tory came
in and sort of ran with it. It's really what started.
Jerry West consulting career too, because he watched tons of
tape of what McKinney did in Portland and was like,
that's the dude. And you as a Lakers fan, Danny

(01:23:30):
j and a lot of our West Coast listeners obviously Lakers. Lakers.
They run this town. No matter how good the Clippers
are and how bad the Lakers are, it doesn't it
won't even matter. Do you think most Laker fans know
the story of Jack McKinney. Not until right now, dude,
we're all sports fans. I had to look it at myself.
Fourteen games coached in the NBA, has a terrible bicycle accident,

(01:23:54):
never coaches again. They win the championship that year with
an interim coach, Paul west Ted who's played by Jason
Siegel from How I Met Your Mother, and Laker fans
know him because of the Magic Johnson story with the
two of them butting heads and Magic getting them out
that we knew what leading up to that. No, I
had no idea m kenney was the master. And then

(01:24:15):
you wonder if McKinney stayed in there, would he have
been the guy that won five plus championships in the NBA.
And pat Riley we don't know or is it was
pat Riley just gonna find a way no matter what.
That's what It sucks because you can't live in that
what if game, because you start driving yourself crazy about
things in your own life. What if? What if I
just tried a little harder. What if I didn't take

(01:24:36):
that trip to Cobo? What if I you know, you
just started thinking what if? What if I wore on them?
What if I weren't coming? And then it goes back
to what what Fred says? Rich Everything happens for a reason.
Reason did say that? He did say that? All right? Well,
on that note, do you want to take? Uh? I
got one for you would be back? What if? You know,

(01:24:59):
Lebron in the NFL. I'm throwing some of those obvious
ones you never planned on playing in the NFL. That's
the thing. Okay, then what if? Okay, all right, then
there's a better one each of us. What's your what
if that would have changed your life? Dang, I'll give
you one. I'll be all personal. I did. I dated
a girl for years and lived with her, never got
engaged and married, and I was close to getting engaged,

(01:25:20):
and I never did because I was like something told
me like oh, and then I think, like that was
in my twenties. What if I had like teenagers? Now,
what if I stayed with that woman started a life.
I think a lot of people that were in multiple
long term relationships always wonder what if I stayed with
that person that's a personal one. Then it's one of
those Hey, we moved to l A, what if we
stayed in New York? What if you know? What if

(01:25:42):
what about you? You know? Uh? One that comes to mind.
I don't think it's my final answer though, but but
it's the first thing that came to mind. Everyone. I
think everyone listening has some tough decisions to make when
it comes to family and work right or personal life
and professional life. And Rich and I got an offer

(01:26:02):
to do TV in New York and we did it.
We we had a great run of s n Y,
but then we got offered another season. And when we
were in New York, we were there for like six
months at a time. I was but my my wife
at the time was in l A with my kid,
and instead of making life easy and just coming to
New York, she stayed in l A because she wanted
to pursue her own things. She said, if you go

(01:26:24):
to New York for another season of your TV show,
it's gonna ruin our relationship. And I'm I'm there, like, well,
who's gonna you know, I gotta make money. I gotta
I gotta do my job. I gotta I get you know,
we have a kid here. I gotta work. But I
what if I was like, yeah, you know what I choose. Uh,
I choose to be here with my family. But then again,

(01:26:45):
how am I gonna How am I gonna bring on
the bacon? So I chose to do the TV show?
I do wonder you know, hey, what if it's a
good one? Um, I have one for you Spot. Yeah.
I don't know if people know this Spot had been
heart Quinn coupled bypass surgery a couple of years back.
What if you never went to the doctor when you're

(01:27:06):
a chest pain, I mean that would be dead. Like
we're hanging with pretty simple. What if a Spot never
went to the doctor when he felt some chest pain
and one day we're hanging with Spot. You know, like
you if rich? I'll go with that next bo bo
oh me. Uh. Father went to the Marine Corps straight
out of high school. I was supposed to go to

(01:27:26):
the Marine Corps. Started out of high school, found out
you could not go to any form of boot camp
with braces on your teeth, and literally derailed everything. But
look at that, damn smile, bro, look at that. Damn
Danny g rounded out, what's your what's your big one?
If to say, what's your big one? If you're Jack McKinney,
pat Riley, what if you're you're Tom Brady Drew Bledsoe,

(01:27:50):
what if? Early two thousands for me, I was programming
k c a Q hip hop station here in southern California.
I got a job offer to move to ID A
program a station there, and they offered a couple hundred
thousand a year, all these all these perks, and I
didn't take it. I turned it. I turned it down. Bro,

(01:28:11):
you could have been turned it down the big, the
big Buffuna. At the at the time, the West Coast
hip hop scene was popping, so it made sense to
be here. But I still think about Hawaii sometimes. Yeah, man, man, man, exactly,
I think you beat mine. Could have been doing hula

(01:28:33):
dances making some money. Oh yeah, but the one if soode, Hey,
if you have a chance to watch and you need
a new show. I'm not you know, I'm not getting
anything out of this, but honestly, winning time on HBO
all about the Lakers. Yeah, what if I never worked
for Yeah? Everybody, look, that's again the first one came
to mind. My relationship ended because I chose to work,

(01:28:55):
because I had to work. Sound very Kate and Toby
from This is Us really Yeah, yeah, we wonder, Oh,
hey man, what if I made that other choice? What
would have happened? I probably would have been in a
bad relationship that I shouldn't have been in any way.
But I do wonder. Also there's certain fan bases you
could probably predict, like what each fan base would say

(01:29:15):
is their team's moment? Oh yeah, yeah, like tuck rule.
You know what if they had called that correctly, of course,
and that would have that that could have also changed
whether or not Belichick went Brady next year. That's what
And Brady's admitted that on that and h our boy
in Nashville was holding right now, Titans fans, so what
do you think he's so, you know what, let's go,

(01:29:36):
let's go one yard hide. What's up, Ali? Ali? What's up?
Hey man? What's your what if Kevin Dyson has not
stopped at that one yard line? Like, what if he's
not stopped? Hey, dude, Seattle could say the same thing. Yeah,
what if Seattle, what if Marshawn ran the ball? If

(01:29:57):
Marshawn ran the ball, you could you could say, Wow,
the Seahawks won back to back. Yeah, there's a lot
of these. How many how many baseball pitchers let up
like a game winning like World Series ending home run
and then like what if I just to a curve ball?
What if I just do something else? Then that's a
you know, Ali, that's a good one because that was
a Super Bowl ending play exactly. That was a that

(01:30:21):
he just got cackled at the one yard line. Yeah, yeah,
that was a like if he if he would have
just broke free one more foot, oh, that would haunt you.
You know. It's as a New York Mets fan, sadly
die hard Mets fan, I think two things. Beltron looking
at that third strike, Carlos Belton Adam Wayne Right throwing

(01:30:43):
the hook, and belt Carlos Beltron just standing there like
knees buckling Beltron like he was a robot guy. Beltron
belt He does have very like a robot a transform.
What if Dave Roberts let Clayton Kershaw pitch a perfect game?

(01:31:06):
I assume that annoyed you did it not? I can't
tell you all he's been talking about. I'll tell you
what I had. The same take is Jeff Passon did
over at ESPN. He was like, he was like, you know,
if it was a no hitter, yeah, pull him out.
He's pitching no hitter. It's a no hitter. Perfect game.
There's been There's there's a quarter million baseball games that

(01:31:27):
have been played in history. There's twentysomething perfect games, Like,
how do you not give him a shot? Only twenty
one of those in the modern history sent him out.
The reason send him out in the eighth inning, and
if he gets caught up at all, you yank them.
But eighty pitches. It wasn't like a hundred pitches through
through seven eighty pitches. I know it's the beginning of

(01:31:51):
the season. People say, Carlos Santana, I'm sorry, um, Johan Santana,
Carlo Santana, I was, obviously I was to give his
amazing guitar skills. In his long hair he has, he
has wrestler hair. Oh, ye, the certain pictures could could
say they were their careers were a little ruined because

(01:32:12):
they were pushed. They Johan Santana was never the saint
of wife for you. What if? What if they never
casted Michael J. Fox back to the future and stuck
with Eric Staltz? Would it be a legendary movie? And
what Eric Stults has been a star? Eric Stultz was
the original Marty McFly, As the legend goes, most people

(01:32:33):
know that what if they never made the change because
he wasn't delivering the way they wanted him to, so
they redid like most of the movie with Michael J. Fox.
A great question. He must he must stay up at
night thinking what if I was just Marty McFly. You
know what, I'll give you one more sports one just
since we are on Fox Sports. I'm a big Mets fan.
Do you mean to tell me you built out of

(01:32:57):
a del I always think about what if my family
raised me a Yankees fan, and I actually and I
actually and I got to I'm thinking like in my
prime year in the nineties, when I was in like
junior high in high school, the Yankees won the World Series.
When I was in high school and college I can't
imagine the fun I would have had. Here's a here's

(01:33:18):
a universe. Meanwhile, I got I got one highlight when
I was a little baby boy, when I was when
I was a tea ball kid in the Mets one
in six six years old. Guys like Spotty who came
into their own older in life often wonder, what if
I was just born and raised in a different place.
Oh yeah, right, Like if I grew up in the
South and I found the gym like twenty years earlier,

(01:33:39):
right right, you know, like a different setting. You could
have been like a totally different guy. People people lose
sleep every night cano around the world of the what
IF's in life. But I just think a great what
if that I've never heard people discuss on any sports
platform is what if Jack McKinney never fell off a
bicycle in nineteen seven d nine, Paul west Head didn't

(01:34:03):
have to take over, and then in turn pat Riley
takes over. Pat Riley was handed the Lakers based on circumstance.
I gave you one the other day. I just totally
made it up. It wasn't based on any sort of truth,
but I said, what if Freaky Henderson chose football, not
that he was ever a standout football player, but with
that speed and that physique and that ye brought up

(01:34:23):
the point that he was as a Barry Sanders, as
a Walter Payton of that era, fastest could be. Could
he have translated? What if he chose football? What if
bo Jackson had never heard his hip? Would he would
have gone down as one of the best running backs
of all time? Yeah? That that kills. Can you imagine

(01:34:45):
how he must feel? Because I I do wonder that
a lot. What if? It will take a few more
last minute what ifs, and of course before the end
of the show, I will find my usfl super hot.
So don't go anywhere. Comin on Rich Easter something hang
with you guys here on Fox Sports Radio. Double a boo,

(01:35:10):
m c uh como Rich Fox Sports Radio. You know
a lot of people think that this song is about
brass Monkey, like the beer with the orange juice. It's
actually about the cocktail mix, special cocktail mix they called
the Brass Monkey fun fact about the Beastie Boys. Are

(01:35:30):
you dropping random knowledge on Runny Lonely beast I b
all by myself without nobody until I came here hanging
out with Rich and Bo Bo and spot d NYG,
the whole Fox Sports Radio family. Happy Easter. What's up
for everybody? If you missed anything Fox Sports Radio dot com.
And if you like what we do, yeah, put it
this way. If you don't like what we do, you
have bad taste. Like what we do. I appreciate that.

(01:35:53):
And you can hear more of us at Patreon dot com, Slash,
Cavino and Rich just look us up. Cavino and Rich
and Rich a bunch of people on the phones see
on Fox the what ifs in the world of sports
and life, the what ifs, Because if you watching Winning
Time on HBO, what if? I mean, there're so mad.
What if Jack McKinney never fell off a bicycle, hurt himself,

(01:36:15):
never coached for the Lakers again, would we even know?
Pat Riley, we're packaging this as a what if, but
it's really the butterfly effect, right, And it's happened with
every story. Somebody goes down, someone comes up and they'd
never have a career if that person didn't go down.
Story Don't they always credit Ken Griffey Jr. With saving

(01:36:37):
baseball in Seattle? Like if if Griffy Jr. In that playoffs,
the series and it was against the Yankees that year,
you would have safe Coo Field. You would have baseball
in Seattle, notts of what ifs. The Houston Rockets can
never second guess their decision taking Hackema la Jouan at

(01:37:03):
number one, but Sam Bowie Portland's booy they gotta be
I mean still to this day, Trafted, I mean, Baba
Bowie would have been better than you know what I
say about Sand Bowie. Fuf fuf FOOI. By the way,
PDX Briant hit us up. Hit us up on social
media too, if you don't want to call at Covino Enrich.

(01:37:23):
The tuck rule play was a huge turn of events
for New England and Tom Brady against the Raiders in
two thousand and one playoffs. If the decision had remained
a fumble, it would have almost certainly sealed the game
for Oakland and not the start of Brady's Super Bowl runs.
Thank you, pd X Brian, Brian, you got more feedbacks
and you know, yeah, keeps going is all at Covino

(01:37:45):
and Rich on Twitter, that's a touch screen, he saying, Okay,
well too late for that. What if my Chicago Bears
had drafted Patrick Mahomes. That's from Tracy. Tracy Esposito. You
want his grubby Easter Sunday sticky finger on your laptop screen.
Can you imagine if I was in Chicago now I'm

(01:38:05):
doing John c Riley. I know they do sound similar.
What if Lynn Bias that's from That's Michael P. DeAndrea.
That's what I was thinking earlier. Lam Bias is one
of those. Could he have been a generational Michael Jordan's
Magic Johnson Lebron James type of players You'll never Ryan
never know. What if Scotty Norwood made the field goal

(01:38:26):
instead of pushing it right? Oh my god, Buffalo would
have It would have changed the whole vibe. I mean, listen,
they lost four in a row up in Buffalo, but
one in three would have felt a lot better. Siege says,
what if Trent Green didn't tear his a C on
preseason and Kurt Warner wasn't relegated to back up QB
the next two or three years? Would he be a

(01:38:47):
biased ramps? Yeah? Would he be uh stocking shelves at
the supermarket? Still, Kurl, you don't know? What if? What
if Barry Bonds never used the clear How many home
runs would you have finished with? And would they have
built a brand new stadium in San Francisco office back?
You know, that's like, these are great ones. I'm glad
to be bring up bring up Barry Bonds too, because

(01:39:09):
people who were talking about sacred numbers all the time, Like,
didn't that go out the window in the nineties and
two thousands when Barry Bonds broke all the records, like you,
hite runs change baseball? The numbers are sacred? Since when, yeah,
do do you honor seventy three? Do you admire? Do
you honor the seventy Mark McGwire if not Barry Bonds?

(01:39:30):
Or do you or you still like no, marais sixty
one and you're like, well, so say hit sixty something
a few times? Right? Yeah, come on. Lots of what ifs.
They're they're fun to think about them. So Adam in
Salt Lake, based on winning time with the Lakers and
Jack McKinney, what is your what if? Well, my waterf
is not too surprising. What if in game six of them?
I mean to the NBA Finals, they did call it

(01:39:52):
push off on Michael Jordan and that iconic least shot.
Imagine that they're like, nah, no, I mean that series,
they still would have won that Russell. Yeah, but instead
of being one of the greatest career ending shots. Push
off Ben in Missouri. You're out with coven on. Rich, Hey,
what about the nineteen World Series? To call it first base?

(01:40:15):
The call first base would haunt me if Yeah, I
got a lot of Cardinals fans and all I gotta
do is mentioned nineteen. That is a terrible call at
first face, you know. And as far as calls at
first base on on important place, I always think that
Gala Rag is perfect game. That was the weakest. Jerry West,
I think, yeah, I think that that is. It was

(01:40:36):
the umpire Jerry West. Uh Bill West? Right, Adam West.
Adam said, your favorite of that? Man? I know it's
Kanye West. Yeah. Yeah. Frank and so Cal what's up? Frank? Frank?
Frank whoa? Hey? Rich and Steve? Hey, Frankie is Frank?
Do you remember me from then? I'm the security guard

(01:40:58):
it used to be there. Get out of here. Of course.
I heard you guys last week and I try to
get in and I said I'm gonna try it this week.
Happy Easter. By the way, Frank, we were at l
A Live recently for a meeting, you know, an important
and important, very official meeting, and we we passed the
old ESPN building and we're like, I wonder Frank's there,
and he is. That was Perkins walking out and our

(01:41:19):
only regret was not coming in to see see and
say how do you so great to hear from you, man, Man, Yeah,
I miss you guys. By the way, this is a
true story. Man. The most knowledgeable guy there when we
worked there was Franking Eat the security. What a pleasure
it was to work with Frank. Yeah, the same here, guys.
I enjoyed our time together. Frank, you might be the

(01:41:40):
only person I missed it. Just don't telling it. I'm
telling you, just kidding. I have a couple of what
if I'm a big, big fan, I know, I know Riches.
What if the forty and Old five had drafted Aaron
Rodgers instead it of Alex Smith? And my other one

(01:42:01):
is what if the forty Niners had drafted either DeShawn
Watson or Patrick Mahomes instead of Solomon Thomas. Yeah, those
the draft picks you watch your team go by. It's
hindsight scenarios. But yo, Frank, those are great ones to
change the whole whole franchise through these these picks. And

(01:42:23):
you know what, Frank, if you watched, which I'm guessing
you did because you're a Niners fan. The Joe Montana
Joe Cool, Joe Montana under Cool, under pressure, Yeah, Cool,
under pressure, the Joe Montana documentary. When they lost that
NFC Championship game to the Oh the worst call because

(01:42:44):
the Redskins would go onto the Super Bowl and the
forty Niners would fall short. Joe Montana went to l
A to film a commercial and that's where he met
his wife. So he said, it was the worst. It
was like the best luck out of like a bad situation.
So you know what, and this this thought transcends for
But I do you want to say, hey, Frank, give
us a call any Sunday night. You're you're you were
always great to talk to and we love talking to

(01:43:06):
here on Fox Sports Radio. Thank you, man. Let me
give you a quick treat t a question guy. All right,
USFL since we're talking about that, can you, okay, can
you name the quarterback that passed for the most yards
in a professional football game in the Los Angeles Coliseum.

(01:43:26):
Is it Steve Young in the USFL? No, but he
was playing against the guy. I'm just going is it
possible Doug Flut he played there? Uh, there wasn't that.
It wasn't dog Fut. Okay, what is it, Frank? It
is Jim Kelly Houston Gamblers and seventy four yards and

(01:43:49):
Norm Van Backland has the NFL record there four yards,
which still stands. By the way, I'm not just saying this.
I did know that. I just didn't think of it.
Stop it. I'm serious. Happy, Happy Easter, buddy. Um And
by the way, fun fact, uh, I said Jim West
with the gala raga. Yeah, perfect game. The blown calls

(01:44:11):
Jim Joyce, Jim Joyce, I think recently retired, So Jim Joyce.
I gave his name, but yeah, what if? Yeah, that's
that was the one of the weakest calls ever. Dave
in Boston, what's up, Dave? What if? The you know
people want people wonder if Mookie Wilson would have beat
that out. And I only say that because when you

(01:44:32):
watch different angles, keep in mind Buckner's on his heels, slow,
old guy, not a great defensive guy. He knows that too,
So he's that's why he's moving extra. He knows he
has to get that ball, and he starts beat Wilson. Yeah,
so maybe it's yeah, maybe it's a let's say Mook
gets an infield single, but Ray Night doesn't round third.

(01:44:53):
Then so now you're like, who's on deck? I don't
even know who's on deck? Lenny dis you, I'm saying, like,
then you gotta think, yeah, totally different play, and Bucker
is not, you know, the guy that everyone blamed by
the way, that's the weakest. People often forget that there
was still another game and that Bill Buckner was an
incredible All Star All Star player, Like what you look

(01:45:16):
at his numbers, You're like, poor guy had such an
amazing career and he's remembered for that nonsen. Now, Robert
and Tucson wrapped this up. Buddy hey as being a
long time fan of the Green and goal, what if
the Atlanta Falcons didn't kicked far over to the curb him?
I mean, I I often wonder how effective these guys

(01:45:39):
would have been on other teams. The way when Frank
just called Robin, he said, what if the Niners chose
Rogers might not might not. You can see that for anybody.
And these are not that this is a bad point.
It's a great point, but it might not have worked
out the same way for him, right, Like what if
Johnny Manzel didn't end up on the Browns, he might
still be playing Who knows? You don't you don't know,
you know. I mean you could say, you could say

(01:46:00):
no way Man's l but you don't know. Like Aaron Rodgers,
what if Aaron Rodgers was drafted by his hometown team
he wanted to play for. Let's just say it didn't
work out and Aaron Rodgers was you know, he was good,
but because he didn't have the personnel around him, maybe
Aaron Rodgers isn't the guy you know today, right, you
gotta look at that way. What if Mitchell Trabitsky. I mean,

(01:46:22):
it looks like he's going to get another shot of things,
but what if that just wasn't the right fit for
him in Chicago? You never know these things. Yeah, that
the fit matters though. Um, thank you for the calls,
and we still got a few. But I want to
go to the feedback to at Covino and Rich. Happy Easter, everybody. Uh,
this is from O g vi Era. What if the
Arizona Cardinals drafted Lamar Jackson instead of Josh Rosen, no

(01:46:46):
need to draft Kyler Murray in So again, this is
all the butterfly effect too, right, So let's see Kevin
Cedar home given Marshaw Lynch the ball at the one
yard line changes the Seahawks. There was there was a
this is one of those TikTok video is I'll never remember.
So if someone knows the answer to this, Rich, you
can hit me up. There's one of those like there
was a meaningless touchdown in the eighties or nineties in

(01:47:08):
a game where it was like we're talking like meaningless touchdown,
meaningless game. But because of that, it's slightly changed the
draft order, and it's like the whole world was Yeah, man,
the moment my my hottest of all hot takes about
the USFL. Right after an update with Steve what's up
Steve two programming notes, USFL was all weathered out tonight.

(01:47:31):
So the game that was due to be on FS
one will be tomorrow seven pm Eastern. No you got now?
You got plans on Monday night Pittsburgh Malors, Tampa Bay
Bandits who's not going to be tuning in for that.
Those are your plans. I feel like you just made
those team names up, but I know you didn't know. Actually,
this is the one thing the USFL has going for
it is they're using the same team names, colors, logos, helmets,

(01:47:52):
all of that from back in the eighties when the
U s FL was actually trying to challenge. I'm all
for I just don't think they hyped it enough. Well.
They are saving money by playing all the games in
one spot. Unfortunately, when bad weather comes in, you had
an hour delay at the first game of the day,
and then you had no game for the last game
of the day. You know what it's like, Steve, It's

(01:48:13):
like when you put I play Softwall here in l
A right, and you know when you're waiting for the
game before you to end, and you're just sitting there
like but that's what this feels like. If they're all
playing in the same place, they're also waiting like game
game before us is still going on. Yeah, tonight's game
FS one was supposed to start at eight pm Eastern time,
but when the first game of the day got delayed
in its start, then this got delayed by an hour,

(01:48:36):
and then it never started anyway because of the severe
weather it's turned out and weather update on Fox TV
right now is NASCAR's dirt race at Bristol. They had
a rain delay at lap one fifty out of the
two fifty schedule, and how they have another rain delay
with about five laps left in the race at minimum
fifteen minutes more in this delay to hope they as

(01:48:57):
they hope to track drives out and it's not a
gear track, it's a dirt race or a mud race
at this point in Bristol, Tyler Reddick in the league,
Kyle Bush second, Joey Legano third. In the Sunday night
ball game at San Diego, the Padres beat Atlanta two
to one, and the Padres only had three hits. Meanwhile,
the Braves Matt Olsen had two hits but the rest
of his teammates for Atlanta to for twenty seven with

(01:49:17):
ten strikeouts. And the late game in the NBA playoff

Back to you, do you think Kyrie's Matt still? You
think he's sitting around eating cabberry eggs. I think he's
like Chad eating in the mini eggs. Now, I'm looking
this up. By the way, the biggest what ifs Bleacher

(01:50:24):
Report actually put out a list years ago of the
biggest what ifs in sports, and we named a lot
that they had on this corny list. They made, um
what if here's one for the Giants fans, What if
Dusty Baker had left russ Orties in the game and
oh too remember that? Remember, like, look, these are fun
things talking about. You can't live life that way. It's

(01:50:45):
like we're just talking about his stocks. It's like someone saying, no,
what if I would just keep my money in on Apple?
It's like, well you didn't, right, So what if what
if Babe Ruth to continue to pitch Carino? You know,
what if bo Jackson's hip had held up a lot
of these I mean, would have became a Laker? Yeah?
What if Joe Montana overthrew Dwight Clark in the end

(01:51:09):
zone and lost that game? Would have Daz Bryant would
have been called a kitch, which it was, which it was.
I agree with you on that, But there's a lot
of a lot of what ifs. I like Arnie Spaniard
have h never mind, I like put Dwight Clark. What
Joe Montana talked about at Clark's funeral? Did you see
that though, that part where he was like, I just
remember it was it wasn't called the throw, it was

(01:51:32):
called the cash. That's true, That's true, all right. The
hot take of all hot takes on the USFL. Pay
attention to everyone. Is this gonna be another example of
overpromising and underproducing? I tweeted this out an hour and
a half ago. I'll be honest, guys, I didn't think that.
I thought the us FL would fold by the time

(01:51:53):
I had to make this announcement. That's why I thought
I didn't. I thought I thought if I delayed long enough,
I could have been like, see, I tell you, might
as well just save it for the other side. Now
for the last second, I know, now, what could a
hot take about the us L F l B. I
think it might be you know what I think? All right,
I'll give you something if you are a degenerate gambler.

(01:52:15):
And I said that in a fun way, not a brute.
If you like the gamble on, it's fun, you have
to have some action. A lot of times when league's
debut Vegas and the odds makers don't have it figured
out quite yet. So a lot of people like to
gamble on these type of situations because you're like you
if you're betting the money, if you're if you're betting

(01:52:35):
a money line in baseball, or if you're betting the
NBA playoffs or if you're bet in mid season in
the NFL, it's wild. How Vegas has it pretty good? Like,
it's amazing how accurate the odds makers in Las Vegas are.
If you're talking about the US those casinos aren't built
on you know, yeah, exactly. How do you think they

(01:52:59):
have all those nice in Vegas with your money? The USFL.
If you think you got a knack for something, roll
with it, because the reality is there's no one that's
an a USFL expert. It's the one time where you
have some weird odd equal advantage. No, I don't know.
Maybe there is somebody on the case that claims to

(01:53:21):
be say, the Tampa Bay Bandits are playing tomorrow night.
Who's Tampa playing tomorrow night? Steve, Pittsburgh Maulers and Pittsburgh Malers.
I don't you tell Dan Patrick Cullin Cowherd, all the
greatest minds in sports, good luck none of them, even
though what's gonna happen tomorrow night. The name sounds violent,

(01:53:42):
by the way, Pittsburgh Mawlers, it sounds like like it's
not even politically correct. Do you guys remember the TV
show in the eighties per Perfect Strangers, with Larry and Balki.
Don't be ridiculous. Of course they do. And by the way,
that was Balky. That wasn't mana gen nobly? Yeah, yes,
we remember there was anace in Chicago. There was an
episode of Perfect Strangers in the eighties where Balki joined

(01:54:04):
the company football pool and he picked the winners based
on who would win in like life. By the way,
is this your hot tache? No? No, no, no, yes
it is. It is, because I'm gonna do my hotache.
Is that on the usfl if you're if your hot
tache has to deal with Larry Appleton and Balky bar
Talcoal Barcon was from Perfect Strangers six. I can't imagine

(01:54:29):
that hot of a take. Balki would do something like
that to be like, who cause it? Lowry? Who's playing Balky?
It's a the Falcons versus the Bears. Oh, don't be ridiculous.
A bear could kill the falcon, so he picked the bears.
I'm gonna say, like tomorrow mawlers and bandits, a maler
a bandit? What band it's got nothing? I'm going maulers,

(01:54:51):
maulers tomorrow nut but a bandits like pretty slide with
anyone Are you sure that one game him is a
hot take? Guys, you don't even know. I'm deleting that
tweet immediately from my own integrity, from my from my
own integrity, Please David call hot ta. Come on, you

(01:55:15):
know what, maybe maybe it's not even a mild take.
He's from Alaska, was coldy, You know what? How about this?
Do you think there's someone in the broadcasting world richest week? Honestly,
Danny J Bobbo, I'm not trying to backpedal from my

(01:55:36):
crap take. You are maybe I am. You are on
a unicycle. Do you think there's someone at Fox, ESPN, NBC, CBS,
Bleacher bar stools. Do you think there's someone somewhere that's like,
I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna corner the
market on us, like they really that's Ariel Hawani story
of success. You know Ariel Hawani. We used to work

(01:55:56):
with him. Nice guy, nice guy, but he wanted to
break through us as a baseball guy because he loves baseball.
He's an Expos fan. He's Canadian, dude. If I'm not mistaken,
but he said, you know what, I could really make
it in broadcasting if I corner the market and this
mixed martial arts stuff. No one else seems to care
as much as I do if I become an expert
in this field, like it was a whole strategic thing. Yeah,

(01:56:16):
I just wonder if there's some up and comer in sports.
It's like, listen, this is a saturated sports world with
a lot of great broadcasters. I'm going all in on USFL.
You should do that and uh and extro. That's why
I'm here to make I'm Fox Sports lead analysts on USFL.
They worked well, Happy Easter, will wrap it up more.

(01:56:37):
Covin on rich on Fox Sports Radio. Next. Yeah, that's
the only thing hot in here. What are you saying?
Saying your takes are weak? Cold takes from Rich Davis
the USFL d Answer this, Do you think there'll be
one person from the USFL that becomes an impact player

(01:56:58):
in the NFL. It's not impossible. Have been with the alliance,
didn't it? What about what about real estate in Birmingham?
All the games will be played there, Maybe a big
investment buy some property. Hey, we're Cavino and rich An
nine on Fox again. Wishing you a happy pass over

(01:57:21):
Easter weekend. Happy to be here, on Fox Sports Radio.
Remember to join us on Patreon, Patreon dot com. Slash
Covino and rich I may not have a hot take
on the USFL that's awesome. You definitely didn't. But how
about this, guys, I'm gonna redeem myself. Easter is the
best candy holiday. Change my mind. Well, you're saying because
for years we always were conditioned to think that it's Halloween, right,

(01:57:45):
Halloween is the is the is the holiday for candy?
Halloween saying that Easter has up its games so much
it's not even recently it's Halloween. Halloween is better. Halloween
is many sized versions of what we already have, but
it's a bigger variety. It's not just chocolate and caramel
and nasty bunnies. You say nasty bunnies. I don't like

(01:58:07):
the nasty bunnies. I'm not talking about the playboys. I'm
talking about the ones that come with the yellow eyes
and a big scary pink eyes. Rich I'm I'm feeling
the need to like back you up here because I
feel like I know what you're trying to say. Richards
trying to say for him that Easter markets their own
specific Easter style candy. There's no specific other than candy corn.

(01:58:31):
There's no specific Halloween candy. But when Easter rolls around,
you get the Cadbury Mini eggs, the Cadbury eggs, the
Peeps and so on and so forth, you get Easter candy.
Jelly Beans are everywhere, well, jelly beans are according to
our our pal gen Lata, jelly beans are Easter's car

(01:58:51):
And I said, well, then Cadbury Mini eggs are Easters crack. Yeah,
but I'll tell you what. So what holiday has the
best andy? One's quick to say, like boo, I'm with you.
That the number one answer on the board. It's probably
gonna be Halloween. But is it the right answer? You
se would say Halloween if you're not using your head Halloween. Thanks.

(01:59:12):
I like many versions of things. They're still different, they're
still made for Halloween. I love many versions of things
and the only original Halloween things like you get those
wax fangs. Who eats that Kane eats those you're supposed
to like to turn into like gummy like like that's
that's butt cheeks. Those those So we're going to brunch

(01:59:34):
this week, Yeah, let's brunch. It. Richest hot take is
when it comes to best candy Holiday East, Halloween's in
second place. Let's just say when the Easter Bunny was
putting together my kid's baskets this morning, I was like, man,
this is a good selection. Halloween, Valentine's Day. It's really

(01:59:54):
just like, well, let's put on a red rapper for
Valentine's Day. Oh, let's make the mini for Halloween. Easter
dominates a candy scene. I'm out, alright, Steven Spotty, Danny
g Perfect Boe Well, Steve to singer. We're Covino and
Rich and we'll see you guys next weekend. I'll weave
a therety baby, see you in the promised lang By guys,
