Last night, I'll quote Danny g Man, that might have
been the most exciting NBA night in twenty years. He
sounds just like that, Just like that.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
First of all, I don't sign anything like peractly most exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yo, what tonight and we got to talk about Yeah,
we obviously had a Nuggets Jamal Murray sort of night,
New York Nick sort of night, not a Laker's dang
sort of night. Does so many layers. Then before that
you had the excitement of the Knicks at the Garden
versus the Sixers. So a lot of great NBA yesterday.
We'll talk some NBA playoffs, so talk NFL. We're two
(02:10):
days away from the draft. Teams are breaking out new uniforms.
You know, I love that Dan Byer. That's the only
time he's a Rich Davis guy when we talked about logos, uniforms,
all that type of stuff. So shout out to the Texans, Jets, Lions, Broncos.
I want to dive into that for a second. And
a great question about Action Stars, because tonight is the
(02:30):
night Arnolds and Sylvisto Stallone got to sit the two
weakest impressions I ever heard, back to back and belly
to belly, just throwing it out there. You got the
Sons and Tea Wolves, you got the Pacers and Bucks,
you got the MAVs and the Clippers, and you got
this TMZ special I know, so set the DVR. It's
a sit down with Arnold. You heard rich Arnold and Stallone.
(02:52):
But what makes it still loon? What makes it legendary?
It is the first time they've had to sit down before.
It's on Fox tonight. It's called Rivals, Friends and Icons,
but they reveal their mount rushmore of Action stars. So
we'll debate that. I'll here on the show perfect taking
it back on a Taco Tuesday. Now we're going to
(03:14):
get into the NBA. I'm going to gather my thoughts.
I'm sure you're going to do the same. Lakers, Nuggies, Sixers, Nicks.
I mean there were other games with those are the
two that stand out. But before we get to that,
I just want to remind everyone with the draft two
days away and everyone thinking, my team's banking their future
(03:34):
on this guy or that guy? Do they go with
this or that? Do they go you know, with Drake?
Do they go who do they go with? I want
to just take it back a really long time ago.
Do do do? That's Frank Stallone? Take it back, You're
more of a Frank Stallone guy. I'm more of a
(03:54):
Sylvester Stallone guy. By the way, I saw Frank Stallone
do some tunes at a club once. He does like
old standards. You saw who Frank Stallone? And you say
I'm a Frank Stalone guy. I'm sorry. I never went
to see him live. Take you back. This guy had
front row seats. I'm a fan. He was standing around
(04:17):
a garbage can of Philly that was on fire. Okay,
I want to take you back really long time ago. No,
not to like the eighteen or nineteen hundreds, to the
year twenty twenty one, a wop in three years ago
where teams bank their future on the following quarterbacks. Let
me just read this just to show you how this
is the twenty twenty one draft. Yeah, just to show
(04:39):
you how fickle and ridiculous and stupid we all look
when we're rooting for our teams, thinking, oh, they got
the guy Trevor Lawrence. I'm not saying that's a failed experiment.
He's good, but he was supposed to be like the man.
I think that's still a work of progress. He's a
bone of fine starter and the Nfah, he's a quality QBB.
(05:02):
Now he's not a bust by any means. No, no, no, no,
not a bust. But I think when you look at
his stats. Danny g sent me something the other day
that was mind boggling. It was Trevor Lawrence's stats side
by side with Gardner Minshew, and they were, as they
said in My Cousin Vinnie, identical how I games play,
(05:23):
games play really identical. It's like, you know, Colin does
it a lot, Stars Cowherd does those blind comparisons of
these two guys, You'll never guess who they are, right,
Trevor Lawrence and Gardner Minshew. Dude got the same resume.
Would have never guessed that. So Trevor Lawrence good, but
let's not get crazy. It's just one we associate with
(05:44):
being a starting quarterback and minshew, he's he's a spark plug.
He's a good quarterback. No diss on him, but I
would never have thought that. Thanks for sending me that,
Danny G. Now we have secret chats around? Oh yeah,
are you having clandestine conversations as Mike Tyson said Clendeta those.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In our group chat that just needsnor me.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I guess I was busy that day, yeah, Cavido, Yeah,
Covino was uh the scroll through some cheeks and boxing
updates on Instagram, and I was busy watching dance videos
on TikTok. So, before you're so stoked about Caleb Williams
or Drake may or Jayden Daniels, JJ McCarthy, ooh boo, Nicks,
I know Danny g' is like I hope Michael Pittocks
(06:23):
Junior falls to the raiders. Before you get excited about
any of these guys, let me remind you of five
names from just four years ago. Okay, so, Trevor Lawrence
not a boss. I got five more, go ahead, the
new Denver Bronco, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Mac
Jones and Kyle Tresk. So you got you're one for five. There,
(06:48):
I guess one for six. But listen to Trevor Lawrence's numbers.
Here's the side by side. Gardner minshewt two seasons as
a starter, fifty nine tds, twenty four interceptions, ninety point
two QB rating, forty nine games. Lawrence fifty eight tds,
thirty nine interceptions, eighty five passer rating, fifty games.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Oh wow, so Minshew has better?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now say, yeah, Minsh's even better at But it's the
perception of and this happens at a lot of workplaces,
not just the NFL. You could be the guy that's
been working at the company, working your way up, and
you don't get that same respect as the high end
person they bring into the company. It's like you could
say it's the brock party effect, right because he was
the last pick, he has to work that much harder
(07:32):
to prove himself. Meanwhile, Trey Lance is sitting on his
ass in Dallas, like, did they gonna give me a
chance if Dak messes up? It's wild when you think
of it that way.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Looking at thirty nine interceptions to fifty eight tds, I
wouldn't have guessed that for Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So just a reminder that you never know. You never
know how it pans out. You could be all excited
or disappointed. Reason you could be all excited about your
Zach Wilson or Mac Jones or Kyle Trask or Trey
Lance and then no, it ends up being the case
a brock Purty slides through and is the star. So
(08:07):
just always keep that in mind. You never know. So
I'm pumped throughout the draft. In two days we got
great cover Chare at Fox Sports Radio. You'll be watching,
you'll be listening. But my point is take it, e's
take it. Don't get too exciting because you never know.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Do you Guys think there's one really quick Covin and
you think there's one wild card quarterback like JJ McCarthy,
Bo Nicks. There's certain fans that are like or commentators
who say, I don't think he's going to translate all
that well to the NFL, but then when we look back,
he might be that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean, I think that's the beauty of sports. You
never know how it's going to translate until it happens. Well,
there's a sense of JJ McCarthy gets the highest praise
on planet Earth from Jim Harbaugh, Like, you guys don't
know he's the best quarterback in the draft, and you know,
you don't know. Is it the fact that he played
on a ridiculously good Michigan team And some are saying,
(08:59):
like he could have done more, but it didn't call
for it, you know how a lot of times, like
a guy like Brock Purty, Oh, he managed the game
in the second half, well, they were winning, like JJ McCarthy,
didn't really need to do much more. So they're saying,
maybe he's the hitting Jim. And I've heard a lot
of people say that Caleb Williams is one of those
all about me type of guys. Now I don't know
(09:19):
that at all. I don't know the guy. I don't
know the personnel and coaches at USC. But you see
a lot of online chatter that, like, yall watch Kaitleb
Williams is gonna be a bust. He's a he's a
selfish guy, he's not a team guy, a little bit
of a cry baby. So we'll see. Jim Harbaugh, you mentioned,
you know JJ McCarthy. Jim Harbaugh also thought his Michigan
tattoo look cool. That is, Oh did you see it?
(09:42):
I did. Look, here's just my quick opinion on that.
He's got one more than I do. Okay, so I
can't criticize, but I think if you're gonna go in,
you gotta go further in. Danny g you're a guy
with a lot of tattoos, right, You're gonna get a
tattoo of a logo or anything like you got. You
can't go small like that. Twenty seven isn't that? Manch Yes?
How many you have? Twenty seven is a lot? Is
(10:03):
how many Little League home runs I had? So I
think that's a lot. That should be your tattooed by it?
So JJ McCarry that, yeah, haven't wait? How many home
runs did hit Little League? Twenty seven? You should get
a tattoo that says twenty seven dongs but on your
lower back seven That would be a great tattoo. I
mean facts, Damn Byer, what's upbody?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Jim Harbaugh should get a tattoo under his armpit of
a guy videotaping so like you only see it, like
you it's like a secret.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
How do you do what you did?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Dann Byer? Any of these quarterbacks. Like I mean, listens
as Charles Barkley said last night, hold on, we get
the exact quote. I hit up Danny g with this
last night. To quote Charles Barkley after the game. Hold
on to quote Sir Charles terrible, terrible, terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I believe he.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Said, hindsight is whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hindsight's whatever.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
This may be a cop out, but I do think
this situation that you're in plays a big role, of course,
and a guide. Today, Jake Brownings resigned a two year
deal with the Bengals, who was great when Joe Burrow
was out. I think it helps set Zach Taylor's there to,
you know, help him become that quarterback, just like Andy
Reid and the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
We've talked about.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Our situation, yep. Coaches, uh, you know how they assimilate,
like just so many factors that you just don't know
until it happens. Like I said, I hate to compare
everything to a fight, but people always talk about, dude,
who you got, and it's like, you know what, I
really won't know until I see it.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Sure, I think the Minshew Trevor Lawrence one of those
is interesting because Minshew spent time in Jacksonville, you know, like, yeah,
in the in the previous years and so yeah, so
maybe it said, oh we keep Minshaw at Minshew and
bypassed Trevor Lawrence us they.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Said Dann Bayer. They say it all the time, hindsights whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You know what I saw last time. I'm watching the
postgame by the NBA, and I'm glad someone else caught
it besides me. I'm like, did he just say hindsights whatever?
And then someone tweeted, you know how they put live
tweets up on the TNT show once in a while,
it said, hindsight is whatever? Was that Socrates or Charles Barkley?
Such a great that was Charles, Sir Charles Barkleys. All Right,
(12:13):
So not only is it Draft week, but some crazy
games in the NBA. Again, some good ones tonight, but
last night was wild. Of course, the Magic calves like
Rich Davis calves over the Magic and the Knicks over
the seventy six ers. Gotta talk about that, the Nuggies
over the Lakers. But man, let me ask you this,
(12:36):
the ending of the Knicks and Lakers game in sanity,
there's there's a couple of questions at play here, we'll
pose them. Would love your feedback.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You know what I love.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I heard Ben Maller talking about it wasn't Babaganoche this time,
it was who gets the blame sausage? Because that's what
we get. Lebron throws blame sausage at the officiating, at
the refs.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Lebron says, why do we have a replay center if
we're not gonna get it right? So he throws the
blame sausage at the officials. But Ben Mahller, and the
way I see it too, is you gotta throw some
blame sausage at a d because here's a guy that
played hard the first three quarters of the game, and
I know he had found trouble. I get all that,
but as Ben Mallarde said, and it's true, you scored
(13:24):
as many points as he did in the fourth quarter,
that's unacceptable, dude, unacceptable.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
The way he was rolling through those first three quarters,
he was getting any shot he wanted over the joker
I would. I don't care how many fouls. If I'm
the head coach of the team, I'm leaving him on
the floor until he fouls out.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know, it's also unacceptable. Every joke I'm thinking in
my head about blame sausage that I can't say on
Fox Sports Radio. Should you give your tiny little baby sauce?
Blame sausage too? Uh? Do you know what? Ho am
I giving my baby? Blame sausage too. I'm you're a
little blame me, Blame me at breakfast flame little Lake cocktails.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
We got blame Smokey's I mean a d played well
throughout most of the game. But I said to Danny
g and listen, there's so many things we said yesterday,
and he was salty press Do I do not have
the basketball inside and never have claim to?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I thought, Rich, I thought you were going to tweet
out at the end of that game in all caps.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I told you, I told you, guys, who's a basketball expert?
Kenny Smith? I felt like, you know, you don't need
to be an expert, but two eyeballs and make an observation.
But yesterday I said, guys, there's a few factors. We're
gonna need D'Angel Russell to step it up in the
first half and knock down at least five threes. I said,
(14:52):
you know, no leads big enough for the Lakers if
they get ahead.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Lebron, you asked me, how many points do the Lake
need to be up by? Oh yeah, Danny's like thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I think he said thirty five thirty five, and I
thought he was joking, but when you see how good
the Nuggets are, he was dead on because it didn't
matter how much of a lead you have. And we're
never those told told you so type of guys. But yesterday,
the three of us, we pretty much predicted how that
game would play out. Were like, the Lakers need to
play damn near perfect, and they did and still couldn't
(15:27):
get it done. I did want to point this Outcavino's
it's a matter of again them stepping up in the
fourth quarter and the Lakers I don't want to see disappearing.
But Lebron had two big threes back to back then
like for a minute, they pulled the little away again.
But as you said, and Anthony Davis did play I
think ten minutes if not more in the fourth quarter,
(15:48):
So I'm not blaming it on him, though sometimes sometimes
there's no blame. You just gotta give credit where credits due,
and Jamal Murray had to it's like they asked Ad.
I don't know if you saw the clip, but Ad
at the press conference, he's like, can you tell us
what happened at the end of the game, And he's like,
Jamal Murray made the shot and he drops the mic
and leaves. I mean like, if he doesn't make the shot, right,
(16:10):
you got to give credit to Jamal Murray for making
a hell of a shot and credit to the Nuggets
were pulling it off. Can you take us through that
last play and just what happened and what unfolded and
what was I don't know if you were screened or
what happened on that last play.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Jamal made a shot.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm out, Oh snigky if you you're cool, If you
I'm out, I'm forty, dude, I'm out. And yoh. Ad
played great, but there were a couple of times where
and this is just to show he played a league again.
Because Jokic is so not your traditional looking beast on
(16:49):
the court, right. He's just a big goon, as we
will say, the big Surbian goon that you know doesn't dominant.
It doesn't matter what he looks like. Do you sound
like you sound like your dad and my mom?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It's his mannerisms though, like the way it looks almost
like he's just chucking a shot up.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I watch anything about my
mom right, not.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
His looks, it's his body movement, it's.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
The body language. But he does look like a goon.
I'm like, I'm not like my dad, who can't watch
a movie unless everyone's attractive, saying my mom is like,
why would they put him in the movie. He's so ugly.
I'm like, like, it doesn't matter, Mom, can you just
watch the movie. He's not a model, he's an I
said to my dad. I recommended a movie to my dad,
and he's like, I can't watch it. I don't find
her attractive. I'm like, Dad, Melissa McCarthy is funny, not
(17:30):
everyone's hot. Anyway. My mom cuts up everybody like he's
a singer.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Mom.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He's not in the cover of Men's Health.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And cheering it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He's the greatest sing of mind. Have you heard his
music anyway? So my point is, you know, he's a
serbian goon, as you said, unconventional in the fact that
he's not flashy and he effortlessly I was telling Danny
g before the show. We keep in mind that Anthony
Davis is one of the top seventy five NBA players
of all time. Anthony Davis is arguably one of the
(17:59):
best defensivelayers in the NBA. Guess why You're Serbian goon
as you called them, could be top fifteen, top ten
of all time, dude. What I was going to say
is the Serbian goon we love you. Say that respectfully.
Was he'd call for the ball, he'd do that old
guy Jim move where he would back he'd go inside
(18:21):
and just literally back up, back up while he was
dribbling until he was close enough to the basket and
just muscled his way over Anthony Davis. Who on Earth
other than Jokic could muscle their way over Anthony Davis
that way. There were times that literally was what you
would do, Danny g If you were a teenager and
you were playing against a kid a little younger, You're like,
I know how to get a basket every time, I'll
(18:42):
just dribble and back up, back up and bully. He
bullied Anthony Davis. That's unprecedented.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
They spin around and lay the ball up.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Name another big man that that has been bullied that
Anthony Davis got bullied by I can't think of anything
in that way.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's awesome to see its fundamental basketball. And again Jamal Murray,
we discussed it last week. Even though they're very rated,
they have the championship to prove it, but maybe the
most underrated duo in basketball. And Jamal Murray had his
first right because Charles Barkley was like, was that your
first buzzer beater? Yes, what every kid dreams of. He
(19:17):
did it in a big spot, first in the NBA.
You just got to credit the Nuggets. So I don't
want to throw blame sausage. I just want to credit
Jamal Murray and keep your blach to yourself. Yeah. I
think that was a great game. It was a great
comeback probably, So let me post a question we'll discuss
in a few and, by the way, devastating for the
(19:38):
Lakers because that's the question. I'm glad you said that
of the two teams that somehow let it fall apart,
the two teams that are both oh and two. Now,
was it the Sixers letting what seemed to be a
pretty clear w slip away at Madison Square Garden or
was it a winded Lakers Mile High could have stole
(20:00):
one in Denver. What hurts more the Lakers not getting
it done or the Sixers letting fresh Muttadel hit a
three pointer when daven chatted us up. When he missed
the three and they kick it back out to him.
You gotta look back, and the Sixers are gonna say,
there were four Sixers under that rim and the one
(20:21):
big guy who's the big guy in the Knicks that
went that got that key rebound. Do you know the
Dan Bayer who got that key rebound? Yes, that's what
it was, dude. He muscled through like four defenders to
grab that rebound. I was gonna say, fred Estein, that
was that's a type of tire fire. But yeah, that guy, no,
really that was. That was the key play right there.
(20:41):
Somehow he came up with it just to back the
deep Merecenzo, he gets a second shot, hits it. Bam.
I done. Didn't seem up for a second, like the
Sixers took their foot off the gas, like, oh, we'll
get the rebound. Dude, you get that rebound. Of games over,
which game was more exciting at the end, it was insane.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Watched Nicholas Batoum in the final fifteen seconds, and you're
gonna say to yourself about four times, what.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Are you doing? What are you doing? Do something?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Sleeping?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Do something? Do something? Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
There was so much going on. I'm glad you said that,
because I will. I'll check it out right now. I'll
sent you guys at Clippers. I'm sorry Sixers, they played
like Clippers.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
At the end of the Sixers TV call, they were
talking about having a fun postgame.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
With forty five seconds left, they said, it was done.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's done that last Yeah, Sam listening to this, I
think Sam has it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Hey, welcome back. Yeah, meat pumpets. Bro Rich don't even
know about backwater because he's a nerd. That's Ia Sam.
He knows water. He does. We got Dan Byer, Elijah Spotty,
Is Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. I got
a story about this song I love, Oh hold on
Cat use a wrestaurant? OK. Sure, I'll make it quick.
(24:11):
I don't go on and on. And like you, I
went to the CD store with my hard earned Bennegan's
money and I'm looking through CDs to buy this is
back in the late nineteen hundreds, and was that in
black and white? It was black and white. Back when
I was a kid, I used to picture with my
grandparents living in black and white. And I saw the
CD from the Meat Puppets that Iowa Sam is playing
(24:32):
right now, and it was a little sticker on it
and it said they're my favorite efing band Kurt Colebain,
and I was like, oh, yeah, I gotta get it.
I was way into Nirvana. That album stunk. If there
was two good songs on that CD, you were lucky.
And that was the risk you took way back in
the day, taking it back out of context, I know,
taking it back On a Tuesday, we're live from the

Don't miss our Draft night coverage this Thursday, eight pm.
(25:38):
It's gonna be a lot of fun. First round, Jay Glazer,
Steve Kaime, The prest Game Show last night with Kenny
and Charles Racing Yeah, Rob Stone, pick By, pick everything.
First round right here on Fox Sports Radio, presented by
Express Pro Now Deven chen Zos, Three, Jamal Murray, he's
(26:00):
three Meat Puppets my favorite pant What was the maybe?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Maybe they has Kirk Comde and he like cheeseburgers. He's like,
of course you like, uh, mister Rogers a puppet. I
love pup loves meat. Meat Pupp's taking him out of context.
But he actually covered was it Lake of Fire? So
he cover itself is better than the cover is better.
I bought a Meat Puppets album in it was like,
this is weird. I know that Backwater's a good song.
(26:24):
I wasn't a fan. I love that song that you
played though, But so based on those threes at the
end of the games last night.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
You forgot to mention Lebron's three that rimmed in and out.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Do you think because the defender tripped and they thought
it was a foul that he had too much of
a thought, like you know when you have too much
time to think about it.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Right before that, he had swished to long threes in
a row. And it's it's interesting because prior in the
third quarter, especially, a lot of the Nuggets shots were
rimming in and out. They were even joking about the
rim being too tight on that side of the arena, man,
and it happened to Lebron at the very end of
the game.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It was a more devastating loss, is it. I think
it's clearly the Lakers losing to the Nuggets when we
already discussed what Lebron had said, you have to play
perfect to beat these guys. They should have had that
game and they lost it. Now they're down O two.
But then again, Cavino, when you're in the garden and
(27:18):
you got the knicks on the ropes, you're about to
tie it up. Maxi and Embiid both scored over thirty, right,
I mean, like you had a game and you just
sort of let it slip with some sloppy play, Like
Dan Bayer said, some of the Sixers just fell asleep
in the last forty seconds of the game. That to
me is a game that they sort of just let slip.
Just watch the last two minutes of that game, and
you won't believe your eyes. You're like, trust your eyes,
(27:40):
You're like, what the hell this is?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
It was sloppy as could be aggressive.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
There was one missed call on the Sixers.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
One missed call, but it's a it was a wild
ending to that game. Look, I think it's more devastating
for the Lakers because they're the Lakers. I just think
there's just more expectation on Lebron and Ad and these
guys to at least take one game, and that was
the game.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Yeah, let's also be real, the Nuggets are much more
of a title contender than the Knicks are. So if
you were to beat the Nuggets, then that tells you
more about the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Dann Byer facts because if the Lakers took out the
Nuggets in this series, we'd be like, whoa Lebron, what
a big upset that world. If the Sixers beat the
NIXT you'd be like, oh, it's a solid series. Yes,
you would have been shocked if embiid arguably, you know what,
top three player in the NBA won the first round
of the playoffs. Would anyone be surprised?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
dB, what do you make of Darvin Ham not challenging
that late foul call on Lebron? I think there was
fifty seven seconds left earlier, and we the buzzword now,
we keep hearing the word marginal. That overturned the D'Angelo
What looked like was a foul to his face because
the ball was out of his hands, I guess. But
Lebron touches that nugget with a fingertip and they call
(28:51):
a foul. Darvin Ham had two timeouts. Don't you think
that would have been overturned. I'm gonna be completely honest.
I was at LAX picking up my mom last time.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You could be like Danny you said it, brom so well,
I know that.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I know that was a talking point this morning on
the other shows. Well they're idiots. Uh No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I saw I saw a lot of memes and I
think you were Comito said to me, it's uh ham
after that foul and it was beetlejuws from the Howard Stern.
It's like, hey, what are you doing? Just hanging around?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Who meo me?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Just hanging around beetle juice style?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And that Clay Matthews Jersey is that is that?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Is that hanging around?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Well?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Honestly, that's the part Like I knew, I knew the
Nuggets were going to come back. Rich, you texted me
when the Lakers had a ten point lead. I did, no,
That's why I didn't text you. But what did I say, Rich?
When you texted the lead had been cut to.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Ten it's too big, ago here we go?
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I said, no, lead is safe. We knew it was coming.
It's just a matter of can they hold on or not.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I mean, I can't be the only one because I'm
like to say, I'm more than a casual NBA fan.
I watch, I just don't watch intently like Danny g
watching the Lakers or Corvino watches the Yankees. Like I'm
not an every day watcher. But if you can't tell me,
the intensity levels and the NBA playoffs just confirm that
the regular season is so irrelevant. This next level.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
But that's another part of this though that I do
think that is interesting is if the Lakers are who
they appear to have been without letting these two games
slip away, then why are you the eighth seed? Why
are you why aren't you fighting with Denver in Oklahoma
City and Minnesota? And in terms of like how the
playoffs are now, there are obviously levels. All you have
(30:37):
to do is just not be in the play in,
you know, just be a top six seed. Like I think,
I think all of that plays in to the point
of when you look at the Lakers and what could
have been, and like, if you're playing who we think
is the best team in the West, they're the defending
champs of that much, and you can do this to them.
And I understand that it's matchups, but if you could
get through Denver, you could get through anybody in these playoffs.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
And why did you.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Put yourself in the position that you need you know
that you're in right now to have to do that.
That's that's a bigger picture story.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
As I was fixing up my pompadou this morning, getting
ready over your Harold was great to thank you man.
I was listening to Dan Patrick You made a good
point too, He said. You could talk about how good
the Lakers have played all day, right, you could say
they had had a twenty point lead, and think of
how good they had to play to get that lead.
They had to play that bad and worse to lose
the game. So it's about consistency. It's about being able
(31:28):
to keep it up the entire game, and it just
sucks they need you to see them lose a lead
like that.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
It's a good point, It's a really good point. It's
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
The shots that had been falling throughout the rest of
the game, even the easy ones right at the hoop,
suddenly were rimming out. And then the rebounds that they
were getting earlier non existent. And you saw the Nuggets
how well they were rebounding the entire game. That was
a big problem for the Lakers. But I was super,
just super upset with Darvin Ham. The substitutions were not
(32:01):
right me. Austin Reeves, yes, I was hanging around. Austin
Reeves was cold. He didn't sub he didn't use the
timeouts correctly. In fact, there was a dude shouting on
YouTube this morning, hilarious thirty seconds of how he felt.
This was titled Darvin Ham makes me not want.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
To be alive? All right, listen, yeah, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You gotta be out of your mind. Why did my
parents have me?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
This is coaching.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I am being tortured. I'll never have kids because of you.
Down screen?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
What are we doing, D'Angelo Russell gave Vincent, why can't
we switch it? If you're not switching, get attached to
the screen or arms extended, so Jamal Murray can't Carl,
you don't guard the screen, you judge Jabal Murray, Carl's
right off it.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
How do you gonna guard this handoff?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Didn't when there's three steps of space, you know, because
he was screened you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
What is the point of any Lakers employee? What anyone
that works.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
For the Lakers? What exactly do you do here? The
shot went up? Why is rouiy hochimur not already sprinting back?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I'm guessing that guy's gonna be a great sports parents Lozenge.
After that, I'm discussing he had money on the game.
I don't know. Well, thank you for that, you know, Danny,
I have a good hypothetical for you. But let's go
to Dan Buyer for an update, Dan, what is going
on outside of the NBA playoffs yesterday?
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Well, NBA playoffs today? Because honesty, Teta Koombo is out
tonight for the Bucks. Milwaukee's ruled him out for the
second straight game. He's not gonna play tonight against the
Pacers in a game that tips at eight thirty Eastern time.
The triple header actually starts with a Western Conference playoff
games Sons and Timberwolves seven thirty Eastern time from Minneapolis.
Mavericks and Clippers wrap it up at ten Eastern. Kawhi
Leonard questionable with a knee injury. Produced Hack eed he
(33:50):
has filed paperwork to be eligible for the twenty twenty
four NBA Draft. The Broncos have exercised the fifth year
option on the contract of cornerback patrick's Ertan, while the
NFL that Or says the Commanders have received calls from
teams about the second overall pick, one of those coming
from the Raiders, according to the report. As for the Patriots,
who sit at three of the NFL Network says the
team hasn't received a good enough off to move the pick,
(34:13):
but still would be willing to move out of that spot.
Mentioned this earlier, but the Bengals did resign quarterback Jake
Browning to a two year deal. College Football News Colorado
running back Dylan Edwards has entered the transfer portal in
the Premier League Arsenal blank Chelsea today five Nils so
Arsenal back on top by themselves in the Premier League.
Point guard Haley van Lit has not committed to transferring
(34:33):
to TCU, despite reports about a week ago that she
was going to be a member of the horn Frogs program.
The LSU transfer is still keeping her options open and
looking where to play next. Guys, back to you, Hey.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Dan Byer, did Browning's girlfriend re sign with her yoga pants? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I will admit I completely forgot about that, But now
that you bring it up, maybe this package deal.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Everyone Browning was filling in for Joe Burrow. They kept
going to Browning's all in the suite and you wore
that like full show, the full body spandex with that.
She was wearing the yoga pants that I think had
the crease in the crack that that you know, those
are the ones you were at the gym, right, Yeah,
once I wear to my CrossFit class. Yeah, but I
do remember that. So there's lots to get to on
(35:17):

there's something cool going on tonight. Aside from all the
great games Timberwolves, Timberwolves, my softball game on Bellball, Rich's
softball game be Huge, Pacers Box, MAVs Clippers, there's a
(37:14):
special that airs tonight. And what's wild about it is
you've seen them together before stallone stallone. Absolutely, you've seen
Stillona Chartzenegger together BFFs. But they've never apparently, according to
the promos on Fox. According to Harry Levin TMZ, they've
never had to sit down together. Name is Harvey. What
(37:36):
did I say, Harry, Harry Harvey to old guy names,
who cares? There's a new special Tonight Rifles the guy
that stands up with a cup of coffee and talks
about you know, teeny Baba romance. That guy, No, he's cool.
I like him. I like him to rivals, friends and
icons like tonight, I like the black dude with the
Predator dreadlocks. Yeah, came out there. Yeah, So now the
(37:59):
title says it all. They started off as rivals, but
much like any great athlete, you need someone to bring
out your greatness. For every Muhammad Ali, there was a
Joe Frasier, right, So for every Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Yeah,
for every Stallone, it was a Schwarzenegger. They elevated each
other from rivals, friends to icons. It premieres tonight at
(38:21):
eight pm, I believe, at eight pm on Fox, and
they had an interesting conversation about action star Mount Rushmore's
Now what's funny is that, Like you said, they never interacted,
never did interviews or sit down together. Now spot you
and I recently talked about how there were like funny,
subtle nods to each other, like in the movie Twins.
(38:42):
Remember Arnold and Danny DeVito. Of course Arnold, Remember he
comes from the lab on that island. Yeah, and he
comes to watch California. Yeah, California. It's a great movie.
He gets to the United States and remember he stops
and he looks at a billboard and it's a billboard
of Stallone, and he looks at it and goes, yeah, like
you know, that was a little subtle nod to like
(39:02):
not or a sneak this, you know, playful disc back
in the day because they were rivals. They did something
similar in Last Action Hero I remember. So here's what
they said about the melt Rushmore of action stars.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
I would put Clint on it. Clint Eastwood was always
my hero, my inspiration. He was one of those guys
just like Retch Park and Bodybuilding that spend time with
me and talk to me and what you have to
come up with I think I already got.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
I think it goes to Bruce.
Speaker 11 (39:36):
He's a very multi faceted guy. He can do drama
in comedy and whatever and all the same. But he
was in very quite a few seminal action films that
really like Diehard, the Classic and those things don't go away.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
I want to make sure you heard he said Bruce
from die Hard, not to be confused with Bruce Lee
Roy or Bruce Lee. It's Bruce will stallone's talking about.
So they added to the Mount Rushmore, including obviously themselves
with Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis. Now, if you're a bozo,
Mount Rushmore means your top four, your top four Action
Star Bart, you gotta be a real bozo to not
(40:14):
know that. Some people don't know that. I know, ask him, like,
how many is that? So before we dive into it,
are there obvious ones for you? Because I don't necessarily
agree with what they said. I'm not dissing on Bruce Willis.
Dude's a legend, But I got my own. You're allowed
to make your own, and that's what the fun of
this is. I think we're going to keep Arnold and
Sly on Mount Rushmore? Who are the other two? According
(40:38):
to you? And of course, I mean, how can we
not get inside from the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Big Mike.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Now, Big Mike, you can't put yourself on this list?
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Well, I obviously I would not be putting myself on
this list. It wouldn't be fair to everybody else. People
feel bad Stallone, Arnold big Mic No, I have, but
I have to agree first off that it shouldn't be
Bruce Willis it should be Bruce Lee.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Oh, that's number one. That's your pick, that's my pick,
absolutely Bruce Lee.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
And we're missing the discussion of all these action heroes,
which one would actually beat the crap out of all
the other ones like in real life? Right Cigal No,
it's it's that's gonna have to be Dulph Lunger. But
that's not my But he's not on my Mount Rushmore,
my number four Mount Rushmore. Sigourney Weaver, Oh wow, who.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Look at you? Controversial alien was just amazing looking out
for the women. Caitlin Clark Jersey on, No, that's it.
That's a really great answer. It really, you know, I
wasn't even thinking along those lines because I'm a sexist
a hole, That's what that's why, because I'm thinking, is
it who is it? Van Damn? Oh, So you can
(41:50):
add a woman if you want, or guy, of course
she can. That's a great answer to your top four.
We're gonna keep Stallan and we're gonna keep Arnold. Give
us your other two at eight, seven to seven, nine nine,
on Fox and I know the phones are a little
wishy washing today, so at coving On, rich On, Twitter,
and Instagram, we will give you our Mount Rushmoores next.

Last night, I'll quote Danny g Man, that might have
been the most exciting NBA night in twenty years. He
sounds just like that, Just like that.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
First of all, I don't sign anything like peractly most exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yo, what tonight and we got to talk about Yeah,
we obviously had a Nuggets Jamal Murray sort of night,
New York Nick sort of night, not a Laker's dang
sort of night. Does so many layers. Then before that
you had the excitement of the Knicks at the Garden
versus the Sixers. So a lot of great NBA yesterday.
We'll talk some NBA playoffs, so talk NFL. We're two
(02:10):
days away from the draft. Teams are breaking out new uniforms.
You know, I love that Dan Byer. That's the only
time he's a Rich Davis guy when we talked about logos, uniforms,
all that type of stuff. So shout out to the Texans, Jets, Lions, Broncos.
I want to dive into that for a second. And
a great question about Action Stars, because tonight is the
(02:30):
night Arnolds and Sylvisto Stallone got to sit the two
weakest impressions I ever heard, back to back and belly
to belly, just throwing it out there. You got the
Sons and Tea Wolves, you got the Pacers and Bucks,
you got the MAVs and the Clippers, and you got
this TMZ special I know, so set the DVR. It's
a sit down with Arnold. You heard rich Arnold and Stallone.
(02:52):
But what makes it still loon? What makes it legendary?
It is the first time they've had to sit down before.
It's on Fox tonight. It's called Rivals, Friends and Icons,
but they reveal their mount rushmore of Action stars. So
we'll debate that. I'll here on the show perfect taking
it back on a Taco Tuesday. Now we're going to
(03:14):
get into the NBA. I'm going to gather my thoughts.
I'm sure you're going to do the same. Lakers, Nuggies, Sixers, Nicks.
I mean there were other games with those are the
two that stand out. But before we get to that,
I just want to remind everyone with the draft two
days away and everyone thinking, my team's banking their future
(03:34):
on this guy or that guy? Do they go with
this or that? Do they go you know, with Drake?
Do they go who do they go with? I want
to just take it back a really long time ago.
Do do do? That's Frank Stallone? Take it back, You're
more of a Frank Stallone guy. I'm more of a
(03:54):
Sylvester Stallone guy. By the way, I saw Frank Stallone
do some tunes at a club once. He does like
old standards. You saw who Frank Stallone? And you say
I'm a Frank Stalone guy. I'm sorry. I never went
to see him live. Take you back. This guy had
front row seats. I'm a fan. He was standing around
(04:17):
a garbage can of Philly that was on fire. Okay,
I want to take you back really long time ago. No,
not to like the eighteen or nineteen hundreds, to the
year twenty twenty one, a wop in three years ago
where teams bank their future on the following quarterbacks. Let
me just read this just to show you how this
is the twenty twenty one draft. Yeah, just to show
(04:39):
you how fickle and ridiculous and stupid we all look
when we're rooting for our teams, thinking, oh, they got
the guy Trevor Lawrence. I'm not saying that's a failed experiment.
He's good, but he was supposed to be like the man.
I think that's still a work of progress. He's a
bone of fine starter and the Nfah, he's a quality QBB.
(05:02):
Now he's not a bust by any means. No, no, no, no,
not a bust. But I think when you look at
his stats. Danny g sent me something the other day
that was mind boggling. It was Trevor Lawrence's stats side
by side with Gardner Minshew, and they were, as they
said in My Cousin Vinnie, identical how I games play,
(05:23):
games play really identical. It's like, you know, Colin does
it a lot, Stars Cowherd does those blind comparisons of
these two guys, You'll never guess who they are, right,
Trevor Lawrence and Gardner Minshew. Dude got the same resume.
Would have never guessed that. So Trevor Lawrence good, but
let's not get crazy. It's just one we associate with
(05:44):
being a starting quarterback and minshew, he's he's a spark plug.
He's a good quarterback. No diss on him, but I
would never have thought that. Thanks for sending me that,
Danny G. Now we have secret chats around? Oh yeah,
are you having clandestine conversations as Mike Tyson said Clendeta those.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In our group chat that just needsnor me.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I guess I was busy that day, yeah, Cavido, Yeah,
Covino was uh the scroll through some cheeks and boxing
updates on Instagram, and I was busy watching dance videos
on TikTok. So, before you're so stoked about Caleb Williams
or Drake may or Jayden Daniels, JJ McCarthy, ooh boo, Nicks,
I know Danny g' is like I hope Michael Pittocks
(06:23):
Junior falls to the raiders. Before you get excited about
any of these guys, let me remind you of five
names from just four years ago. Okay, so, Trevor Lawrence
not a boss. I got five more, go ahead, the
new Denver Bronco, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Mac
Jones and Kyle Tresk. So you got you're one for five. There,
(06:48):
I guess one for six. But listen to Trevor Lawrence's numbers.
Here's the side by side. Gardner minshewt two seasons as
a starter, fifty nine tds, twenty four interceptions, ninety point
two QB rating, forty nine games. Lawrence fifty eight tds,
thirty nine interceptions, eighty five passer rating, fifty games.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Oh wow, so Minshew has better?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now say, yeah, Minsh's even better at But it's the
perception of and this happens at a lot of workplaces,
not just the NFL. You could be the guy that's
been working at the company, working your way up, and
you don't get that same respect as the high end
person they bring into the company. It's like you could
say it's the brock party effect, right because he was
the last pick, he has to work that much harder
(07:32):
to prove himself. Meanwhile, Trey Lance is sitting on his
ass in Dallas, like, did they gonna give me a
chance if Dak messes up? It's wild when you think
of it that way.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Looking at thirty nine interceptions to fifty eight tds, I
wouldn't have guessed that for Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So just a reminder that you never know. You never
know how it pans out. You could be all excited
or disappointed. Reason you could be all excited about your
Zach Wilson or Mac Jones or Kyle Trask or Trey
Lance and then no, it ends up being the case
a brock Purty slides through and is the star. So
(08:07):
just always keep that in mind. You never know. So
I'm pumped throughout the draft. In two days we got
great cover Chare at Fox Sports Radio. You'll be watching,
you'll be listening. But my point is take it, e's
take it. Don't get too exciting because you never know.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Do you Guys think there's one really quick Covin and
you think there's one wild card quarterback like JJ McCarthy,
Bo Nicks. There's certain fans that are like or commentators
who say, I don't think he's going to translate all
that well to the NFL, but then when we look back,
he might be that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean, I think that's the beauty of sports. You
never know how it's going to translate until it happens. Well,
there's a sense of JJ McCarthy gets the highest praise
on planet Earth from Jim Harbaugh, Like, you guys don't
know he's the best quarterback in the draft, and you know,
you don't know. Is it the fact that he played
on a ridiculously good Michigan team And some are saying,
(08:59):
like he could have done more, but it didn't call
for it, you know how a lot of times, like
a guy like Brock Purty, Oh, he managed the game
in the second half, well, they were winning, like JJ McCarthy,
didn't really need to do much more. So they're saying,
maybe he's the hitting Jim. And I've heard a lot
of people say that Caleb Williams is one of those
all about me type of guys. Now I don't know
(09:19):
that at all. I don't know the guy. I don't
know the personnel and coaches at USC. But you see
a lot of online chatter that, like, yall watch Kaitleb
Williams is gonna be a bust. He's a he's a
selfish guy, he's not a team guy, a little bit
of a cry baby. So we'll see. Jim Harbaugh, you mentioned,
you know JJ McCarthy. Jim Harbaugh also thought his Michigan
tattoo look cool. That is, Oh did you see it?
(09:42):
I did. Look, here's just my quick opinion on that.
He's got one more than I do. Okay, so I
can't criticize, but I think if you're gonna go in,
you gotta go further in. Danny g you're a guy
with a lot of tattoos, right, You're gonna get a
tattoo of a logo or anything like you got. You
can't go small like that. Twenty seven isn't that? Manch Yes?
How many you have? Twenty seven is a lot? Is
(10:03):
how many Little League home runs I had? So I
think that's a lot. That should be your tattooed by it?
So JJ McCarry that, yeah, haven't wait? How many home
runs did hit Little League? Twenty seven? You should get
a tattoo that says twenty seven dongs but on your
lower back seven That would be a great tattoo. I
mean facts, Damn Byer, what's upbody?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Jim Harbaugh should get a tattoo under his armpit of
a guy videotaping so like you only see it, like
you it's like a secret.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
How do you do what you did?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Dann Byer? Any of these quarterbacks. Like I mean, listens
as Charles Barkley said last night, hold on, we get
the exact quote. I hit up Danny g with this
last night. To quote Charles Barkley after the game. Hold
on to quote Sir Charles terrible, terrible, terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I believe he.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Said, hindsight is whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hindsight's whatever.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
This may be a cop out, but I do think
this situation that you're in plays a big role, of course,
and a guide. Today, Jake Brownings resigned a two year
deal with the Bengals, who was great when Joe Burrow
was out. I think it helps set Zach Taylor's there to,
you know, help him become that quarterback, just like Andy
Reid and the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
We've talked about.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Our situation, yep. Coaches, uh, you know how they assimilate,
like just so many factors that you just don't know
until it happens. Like I said, I hate to compare
everything to a fight, but people always talk about, dude,
who you got, and it's like, you know what, I
really won't know until I see it.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Sure, I think the Minshew Trevor Lawrence one of those
is interesting because Minshew spent time in Jacksonville, you know, like, yeah,
in the in the previous years and so yeah, so
maybe it said, oh we keep Minshaw at Minshew and
bypassed Trevor Lawrence us they.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Said Dann Bayer. They say it all the time, hindsights whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You know what I saw last time. I'm watching the
postgame by the NBA, and I'm glad someone else caught
it besides me. I'm like, did he just say hindsights whatever?
And then someone tweeted, you know how they put live
tweets up on the TNT show once in a while,
it said, hindsight is whatever? Was that Socrates or Charles Barkley?
Such a great that was Charles, Sir Charles Barkleys. All Right,
(12:13):
So not only is it Draft week, but some crazy
games in the NBA. Again, some good ones tonight, but
last night was wild. Of course, the Magic calves like
Rich Davis calves over the Magic and the Knicks over
the seventy six ers. Gotta talk about that, the Nuggies
over the Lakers. But man, let me ask you this,
(12:36):
the ending of the Knicks and Lakers game in sanity,
there's there's a couple of questions at play here, we'll
pose them. Would love your feedback.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You know what I love.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I heard Ben Maller talking about it wasn't Babaganoche this time,
it was who gets the blame sausage? Because that's what
we get. Lebron throws blame sausage at the officiating, at
the refs.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Lebron says, why do we have a replay center if
we're not gonna get it right? So he throws the
blame sausage at the officials. But Ben Mahller, and the
way I see it too, is you gotta throw some
blame sausage at a d because here's a guy that
played hard the first three quarters of the game, and
I know he had found trouble. I get all that,
but as Ben Mallarde said, and it's true, you scored
(13:24):
as many points as he did in the fourth quarter,
that's unacceptable, dude, unacceptable.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
The way he was rolling through those first three quarters,
he was getting any shot he wanted over the joker
I would. I don't care how many fouls. If I'm
the head coach of the team, I'm leaving him on
the floor until he fouls out.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know, it's also unacceptable. Every joke I'm thinking in
my head about blame sausage that I can't say on
Fox Sports Radio. Should you give your tiny little baby sauce?
Blame sausage too? Uh? Do you know what? Ho am
I giving my baby? Blame sausage too. I'm you're a
little blame me, Blame me at breakfast flame little Lake cocktails.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
We got blame Smokey's I mean a d played well
throughout most of the game. But I said to Danny
g and listen, there's so many things we said yesterday,
and he was salty press Do I do not have
the basketball inside and never have claim to?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I thought, Rich, I thought you were going to tweet
out at the end of that game in all caps.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I told you, I told you, guys, who's a basketball expert?
Kenny Smith? I felt like, you know, you don't need
to be an expert, but two eyeballs and make an observation.
But yesterday I said, guys, there's a few factors. We're
gonna need D'Angel Russell to step it up in the
first half and knock down at least five threes. I said,
(14:52):
you know, no leads big enough for the Lakers if
they get ahead.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Lebron, you asked me, how many points do the Lake
need to be up by? Oh yeah, Danny's like thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I think he said thirty five thirty five, and I
thought he was joking, but when you see how good
the Nuggets are, he was dead on because it didn't
matter how much of a lead you have. And we're
never those told told you so type of guys. But yesterday,
the three of us, we pretty much predicted how that
game would play out. Were like, the Lakers need to
play damn near perfect, and they did and still couldn't
(15:27):
get it done. I did want to point this Outcavino's
it's a matter of again them stepping up in the
fourth quarter and the Lakers I don't want to see disappearing.
But Lebron had two big threes back to back then
like for a minute, they pulled the little away again.
But as you said, and Anthony Davis did play I
think ten minutes if not more in the fourth quarter,
(15:48):
So I'm not blaming it on him, though sometimes sometimes
there's no blame. You just gotta give credit where credits due,
and Jamal Murray had to it's like they asked Ad.
I don't know if you saw the clip, but Ad
at the press conference, he's like, can you tell us
what happened at the end of the game, And he's like,
Jamal Murray made the shot and he drops the mic
and leaves. I mean like, if he doesn't make the shot, right,
(16:10):
you got to give credit to Jamal Murray for making
a hell of a shot and credit to the Nuggets
were pulling it off. Can you take us through that
last play and just what happened and what unfolded and
what was I don't know if you were screened or
what happened on that last play.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Jamal made a shot.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm out, Oh snigky if you you're cool, If you
I'm out, I'm forty, dude, I'm out. And yoh. Ad
played great, but there were a couple of times where
and this is just to show he played a league again.
Because Jokic is so not your traditional looking beast on
(16:49):
the court, right. He's just a big goon, as we
will say, the big Surbian goon that you know doesn't dominant.
It doesn't matter what he looks like. Do you sound
like you sound like your dad and my mom?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It's his mannerisms though, like the way it looks almost
like he's just chucking a shot up.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I watch anything about my
mom right, not.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
His looks, it's his body movement, it's.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
The body language. But he does look like a goon.
I'm like, I'm not like my dad, who can't watch
a movie unless everyone's attractive, saying my mom is like,
why would they put him in the movie. He's so ugly.
I'm like, like, it doesn't matter, Mom, can you just
watch the movie. He's not a model, he's an I
said to my dad. I recommended a movie to my dad,
and he's like, I can't watch it. I don't find
her attractive. I'm like, Dad, Melissa McCarthy is funny, not
(17:30):
everyone's hot. Anyway. My mom cuts up everybody like he's
a singer.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Mom.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He's not in the cover of Men's Health.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And cheering it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He's the greatest sing of mind. Have you heard his
music anyway? So my point is, you know, he's a
serbian goon, as you said, unconventional in the fact that
he's not flashy and he effortlessly I was telling Danny
g before the show. We keep in mind that Anthony
Davis is one of the top seventy five NBA players
of all time. Anthony Davis is arguably one of the
(17:59):
best defensivelayers in the NBA. Guess why You're Serbian goon
as you called them, could be top fifteen, top ten
of all time, dude. What I was going to say
is the Serbian goon we love you. Say that respectfully.
Was he'd call for the ball, he'd do that old
guy Jim move where he would back he'd go inside
(18:21):
and just literally back up, back up while he was
dribbling until he was close enough to the basket and
just muscled his way over Anthony Davis. Who on Earth
other than Jokic could muscle their way over Anthony Davis
that way. There were times that literally was what you
would do, Danny g If you were a teenager and
you were playing against a kid a little younger, You're like,
I know how to get a basket every time, I'll
(18:42):
just dribble and back up, back up and bully. He
bullied Anthony Davis. That's unprecedented.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
They spin around and lay the ball up.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Name another big man that that has been bullied that
Anthony Davis got bullied by I can't think of anything
in that way.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's awesome to see its fundamental basketball. And again Jamal Murray,
we discussed it last week. Even though they're very rated,
they have the championship to prove it, but maybe the
most underrated duo in basketball. And Jamal Murray had his
first right because Charles Barkley was like, was that your
first buzzer beater? Yes, what every kid dreams of. He
(19:17):
did it in a big spot, first in the NBA.
You just got to credit the Nuggets. So I don't
want to throw blame sausage. I just want to credit
Jamal Murray and keep your blach to yourself. Yeah. I
think that was a great game. It was a great
comeback probably, So let me post a question we'll discuss
in a few and, by the way, devastating for the
(19:38):
Lakers because that's the question. I'm glad you said that
of the two teams that somehow let it fall apart,
the two teams that are both oh and two. Now,
was it the Sixers letting what seemed to be a
pretty clear w slip away at Madison Square Garden or
was it a winded Lakers Mile High could have stole
(20:00):
one in Denver. What hurts more the Lakers not getting
it done or the Sixers letting fresh Muttadel hit a
three pointer when daven chatted us up. When he missed
the three and they kick it back out to him.
You gotta look back, and the Sixers are gonna say,
there were four Sixers under that rim and the one
(20:21):
big guy who's the big guy in the Knicks that
went that got that key rebound. Do you know the
Dan Bayer who got that key rebound? Yes, that's what
it was, dude. He muscled through like four defenders to
grab that rebound. I was gonna say, fred Estein, that
was that's a type of tire fire. But yeah, that guy, no,
really that was. That was the key play right there.
(20:41):
Somehow he came up with it just to back the
deep Merecenzo, he gets a second shot, hits it. Bam.
I done. Didn't seem up for a second, like the
Sixers took their foot off the gas, like, oh, we'll
get the rebound. Dude, you get that rebound. Of games over,
which game was more exciting at the end, it was insane.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Watched Nicholas Batoum in the final fifteen seconds, and you're
gonna say to yourself about four times, what.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Are you doing? What are you doing? Do something?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Sleeping?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Do something? Do something? Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
There was so much going on. I'm glad you said that,
because I will. I'll check it out right now. I'll
sent you guys at Clippers. I'm sorry Sixers, they played
like Clippers.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
At the end of the Sixers TV call, they were
talking about having a fun postgame.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
With forty five seconds left, they said, it was done.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's done that last Yeah, Sam listening to this, I
think Sam has it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, checked this out.

Is Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. I got
a story about this song I love, Oh hold on
Cat use a wrestaurant? OK. Sure, I'll make it quick.
(24:11):
I don't go on and on. And like you, I
went to the CD store with my hard earned Bennegan's
money and I'm looking through CDs to buy this is
back in the late nineteen hundreds, and was that in
black and white? It was black and white. Back when
I was a kid, I used to picture with my
grandparents living in black and white. And I saw the
CD from the Meat Puppets that Iowa Sam is playing
(24:32):
right now, and it was a little sticker on it
and it said they're my favorite efing band Kurt Colebain,
and I was like, oh, yeah, I gotta get it.
I was way into Nirvana. That album stunk. If there
was two good songs on that CD, you were lucky.
And that was the risk you took way back in
the day, taking it back out of context, I know,
taking it back On a Tuesday, we're live from the

Don't miss our Draft night coverage this Thursday, eight pm.
(25:38):
It's gonna be a lot of fun. First round, Jay Glazer,
Steve Kaime, The prest Game Show last night with Kenny
and Charles Racing Yeah, Rob Stone, pick By, pick everything.
First round right here on Fox Sports Radio, presented by
Express Pro Now Deven chen Zos, Three, Jamal Murray, he's
(26:00):
three Meat Puppets my favorite pant What was the maybe?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Maybe they has Kirk Comde and he like cheeseburgers. He's like,
of course you like, uh, mister Rogers a puppet. I
love pup loves meat. Meat Pupp's taking him out of context.
But he actually covered was it Lake of Fire? So
he cover itself is better than the cover is better.
I bought a Meat Puppets album in it was like,
this is weird. I know that Backwater's a good song.
(26:24):
I wasn't a fan. I love that song that you
played though, But so based on those threes at the
end of the games last night.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
You forgot to mention Lebron's three that rimmed in and out.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Do you think because the defender tripped and they thought
it was a foul that he had too much of
a thought, like you know when you have too much
time to think about it.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Right before that, he had swished to long threes in
a row. And it's it's interesting because prior in the
third quarter, especially, a lot of the Nuggets shots were
rimming in and out. They were even joking about the
rim being too tight on that side of the arena, man,
and it happened to Lebron at the very end of
the game.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It was a more devastating loss, is it. I think
it's clearly the Lakers losing to the Nuggets when we
already discussed what Lebron had said, you have to play
perfect to beat these guys. They should have had that
game and they lost it. Now they're down O two.
But then again, Cavino, when you're in the garden and
(27:18):
you got the knicks on the ropes, you're about to
tie it up. Maxi and Embiid both scored over thirty, right,
I mean, like you had a game and you just
sort of let it slip with some sloppy play, Like
Dan Bayer said, some of the Sixers just fell asleep
in the last forty seconds of the game. That to
me is a game that they sort of just let slip.
Just watch the last two minutes of that game, and
you won't believe your eyes. You're like, trust your eyes,
(27:40):
You're like, what the hell this is?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
It was sloppy as could be aggressive.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
There was one missed call on the Sixers.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
One missed call, but it's a it was a wild
ending to that game. Look, I think it's more devastating
for the Lakers because they're the Lakers. I just think
there's just more expectation on Lebron and Ad and these
guys to at least take one game, and that was
the game.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Yeah, let's also be real, the Nuggets are much more
of a title contender than the Knicks are. So if
you were to beat the Nuggets, then that tells you
more about the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Dann Byer facts because if the Lakers took out the
Nuggets in this series, we'd be like, whoa Lebron, what
a big upset that world. If the Sixers beat the
NIXT you'd be like, oh, it's a solid series. Yes,
you would have been shocked if embiid arguably, you know what,
top three player in the NBA won the first round
of the playoffs. Would anyone be surprised?
Speaker 4 (28:29):
dB, what do you make of Darvin Ham not challenging
that late foul call on Lebron? I think there was
fifty seven seconds left earlier, and we the buzzword now,
we keep hearing the word marginal. That overturned the D'Angelo
What looked like was a foul to his face because
the ball was out of his hands, I guess. But
Lebron touches that nugget with a fingertip and they call
(28:51):
a foul. Darvin Ham had two timeouts. Don't you think
that would have been overturned. I'm gonna be completely honest.
I was at LAX picking up my mom last time.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You could be like Danny you said it, brom so well,
I know that.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I know that was a talking point this morning on
the other shows. Well they're idiots. Uh No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I saw I saw a lot of memes and I
think you were Comito said to me, it's uh ham
after that foul and it was beetlejuws from the Howard Stern.
It's like, hey, what are you doing? Just hanging around?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Who meo me?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Just hanging around beetle juice style?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And that Clay Matthews Jersey is that is that?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Is that hanging around?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Well?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Honestly, that's the part Like I knew, I knew the
Nuggets were going to come back. Rich, you texted me
when the Lakers had a ten point lead. I did, no,
That's why I didn't text you. But what did I say, Rich?
When you texted the lead had been cut to.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Ten it's too big, ago here we go?
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I said, no, lead is safe. We knew it was coming.
It's just a matter of can they hold on or not.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I mean, I can't be the only one because I'm
like to say, I'm more than a casual NBA fan.
I watch, I just don't watch intently like Danny g
watching the Lakers or Corvino watches the Yankees. Like I'm
not an every day watcher. But if you can't tell me,
the intensity levels and the NBA playoffs just confirm that
the regular season is so irrelevant. This next level.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
But that's another part of this though that I do
think that is interesting is if the Lakers are who
they appear to have been without letting these two games
slip away, then why are you the eighth seed? Why
are you why aren't you fighting with Denver in Oklahoma
City and Minnesota? And in terms of like how the
playoffs are now, there are obviously levels. All you have
(30:37):
to do is just not be in the play in,
you know, just be a top six seed. Like I think,
I think all of that plays in to the point
of when you look at the Lakers and what could
have been, and like, if you're playing who we think
is the best team in the West, they're the defending
champs of that much, and you can do this to them.
And I understand that it's matchups, but if you could
get through Denver, you could get through anybody in these playoffs.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
And why did you.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Put yourself in the position that you need you know
that you're in right now to have to do that.
That's that's a bigger picture story.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
As I was fixing up my pompadou this morning, getting
ready over your Harold was great to thank you man.
I was listening to Dan Patrick You made a good
point too, He said. You could talk about how good
the Lakers have played all day, right, you could say
they had had a twenty point lead, and think of
how good they had to play to get that lead.
They had to play that bad and worse to lose
the game. So it's about consistency. It's about being able
(31:28):
to keep it up the entire game, and it just
sucks they need you to see them lose a lead
like that.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
It's a good point, It's a really good point. It's
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
The shots that had been falling throughout the rest of
the game, even the easy ones right at the hoop,
suddenly were rimming out. And then the rebounds that they
were getting earlier non existent. And you saw the Nuggets
how well they were rebounding the entire game. That was
a big problem for the Lakers. But I was super,
just super upset with Darvin Ham. The substitutions were not
(32:01):
right me. Austin Reeves, yes, I was hanging around. Austin
Reeves was cold. He didn't sub he didn't use the
timeouts correctly. In fact, there was a dude shouting on
YouTube this morning, hilarious thirty seconds of how he felt.
This was titled Darvin Ham makes me not want.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
To be alive? All right, listen, yeah, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You gotta be out of your mind. Why did my
parents have me?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
This is coaching.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I am being tortured. I'll never have kids because of you.
Down screen?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
What are we doing, D'Angelo Russell gave Vincent, why can't
we switch it? If you're not switching, get attached to
the screen or arms extended, so Jamal Murray can't Carl,
you don't guard the screen, you judge Jabal Murray, Carl's
right off it.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
How do you gonna guard this handoff?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Didn't when there's three steps of space, you know, because
he was screened you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
What is the point of any Lakers employee? What anyone
that works.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
For the Lakers? What exactly do you do here? The
shot went up? Why is rouiy hochimur not already sprinting back?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I'm guessing that guy's gonna be a great sports parents Lozenge.
After that, I'm discussing he had money on the game.
I don't know. Well, thank you for that, you know, Danny,
I have a good hypothetical for you. But let's go
to Dan Buyer for an update, Dan, what is going
on outside of the NBA playoffs yesterday?
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Well, NBA playoffs today? Because honesty, Teta Koombo is out
tonight for the Bucks. Milwaukee's ruled him out for the
second straight game. He's not gonna play tonight against the
Pacers in a game that tips at eight thirty Eastern time.
The triple header actually starts with a Western Conference playoff
games Sons and Timberwolves seven thirty Eastern time from Minneapolis.
Mavericks and Clippers wrap it up at ten Eastern. Kawhi
Leonard questionable with a knee injury. Produced Hack eed he
(33:50):
has filed paperwork to be eligible for the twenty twenty
four NBA Draft. The Broncos have exercised the fifth year
option on the contract of cornerback patrick's Ertan, while the
NFL that Or says the Commanders have received calls from
teams about the second overall pick, one of those coming
from the Raiders, according to the report. As for the Patriots,
who sit at three of the NFL Network says the
team hasn't received a good enough off to move the pick,
(34:13):
but still would be willing to move out of that spot.
Mentioned this earlier, but the Bengals did resign quarterback Jake
Browning to a two year deal. College Football News Colorado
running back Dylan Edwards has entered the transfer portal in
the Premier League Arsenal blank Chelsea today five Nils so
Arsenal back on top by themselves in the Premier League.
Point guard Haley van Lit has not committed to transferring

looking where to play next. Guys, back to you, Hey.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Dan Byer, did Browning's girlfriend re sign with her yoga pants? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I will admit I completely forgot about that, But now
that you bring it up, maybe this package deal.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Everyone Browning was filling in for Joe Burrow. They kept
going to Browning's all in the suite and you wore
that like full show, the full body spandex with that.
She was wearing the yoga pants that I think had
the crease in the crack that that you know, those
are the ones you were at the gym, right, Yeah,

great games Timberwolves, Timberwolves, my softball game on Bellball, Rich's
softball game be Huge, Pacers Box, MAVs Clippers, there's a
(37:14):
special that airs tonight. And what's wild about it is
you've seen them together before stallone stallone. Absolutely, you've seen
Stillona Chartzenegger together BFFs. But they've never apparently, according to
the promos on Fox. According to Harry Levin TMZ, they've
never had to sit down together. Name is Harvey. What
(37:36):
did I say, Harry, Harry Harvey to old guy names,
who cares? There's a new special Tonight Rifles the guy
that stands up with a cup of coffee and talks
about you know, teeny Baba romance. That guy, No, he's cool.
I like him. I like him to rivals, friends and
icons like tonight, I like the black dude with the
Predator dreadlocks. Yeah, came out there. Yeah, So now the
(37:59):
title says it all. They started off as rivals, but
much like any great athlete, you need someone to bring
out your greatness. For every Muhammad Ali, there was a
Joe Frasier, right, So for every Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Yeah,
for every Stallone, it was a Schwarzenegger. They elevated each
other from rivals, friends to icons. It premieres tonight at
(38:21):
eight pm, I believe, at eight pm on Fox, and
they had an interesting conversation about action star Mount Rushmore's
Now what's funny is that, Like you said, they never interacted,
never did interviews or sit down together. Now spot you
and I recently talked about how there were like funny,
subtle nods to each other, like in the movie Twins.
(38:42):
Remember Arnold and Danny DeVito. Of course Arnold, Remember he
comes from the lab on that island. Yeah, and he
comes to watch California. Yeah, California. It's a great movie.
He gets to the United States and remember he stops
and he looks at a billboard and it's a billboard
of Stallone, and he looks at it and goes, yeah, like
you know, that was a little subtle nod to like
(39:02):
not or a sneak this, you know, playful disc back
in the day because they were rivals. They did something
similar in Last Action Hero I remember. So here's what
they said about the melt Rushmore of action stars.
Speaker 7 (39:17):
I would put Clint on it. Clint Eastwood was always
my hero, my inspiration. He was one of those guys
just like Retch Park and Bodybuilding that spend time with
me and talk to me and what you have to
come up with I think I already got.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
I think it goes to Bruce.
Speaker 11 (39:36):
He's a very multi faceted guy. He can do drama
in comedy and whatever and all the same. But he
was in very quite a few seminal action films that
really like Diehard, the Classic and those things don't go away.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
I want to make sure you heard he said Bruce
from die Hard, not to be confused with Bruce Lee
Roy or Bruce Lee. It's Bruce will stallone's talking about.
So they added to the Mount Rushmore, including obviously themselves
with Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis. Now, if you're a bozo,
Mount Rushmore means your top four, your top four Action
Star Bart, you gotta be a real bozo to not
(40:14):
know that. Some people don't know that. I know, ask him, like,
how many is that? So before we dive into it,
are there obvious ones for you? Because I don't necessarily
agree with what they said. I'm not dissing on Bruce Willis.
Dude's a legend, But I got my own. You're allowed
to make your own, and that's what the fun of
this is. I think we're going to keep Arnold and
Sly on Mount Rushmore? Who are the other two? According
(40:38):
to you? And of course, I mean, how can we
not get inside from the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Big Mike.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Now, Big Mike, you can't put yourself on this list?
Speaker 6 (40:45):
Well, I obviously I would not be putting myself on
this list. It wouldn't be fair to everybody else. People
feel bad Stallone, Arnold big Mic No, I have, but
I have to agree first off that it shouldn't be
Bruce Willis it should be Bruce Lee.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Oh, that's number one. That's your pick, that's my pick,
absolutely Bruce Lee.
Speaker 6 (41:04):
And we're missing the discussion of all these action heroes,
which one would actually beat the crap out of all
the other ones like in real life? Right Cigal No,
it's it's that's gonna have to be Dulph Lunger. But
that's not my But he's not on my Mount Rushmore,
my number four Mount Rushmore. Sigourney Weaver, Oh wow, who.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Look at you? Controversial alien was just amazing looking out
for the women. Caitlin Clark Jersey on, No, that's it.
That's a really great answer. It really, you know, I
wasn't even thinking along those lines because I'm a sexist
a hole, That's what that's why, because I'm thinking, is
it who is it? Van Damn? Oh, So you can
(41:50):
add a woman if you want, or guy, of course
she can. That's a great answer to your top four.
We're gonna keep Stallan and we're gonna keep Arnold. Give
us your other two at eight, seven to seven, nine nine,
on Fox and I know the phones are a little
wishy washing today, so at coving On, rich On, Twitter,
and Instagram, we will give you our Mount Rushmoores next.
Plus we'll talk more NBA Finals and the Draft in
(42:11):
two days. Hang tight more next
