Speaker 2 (01:23):
Rich, nothing but pizza and bagels before I head back west.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, you're gonna come back here looking like.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But no, if I ever send you the justin Timberlake
mug shot, there's a silver lining to this, to that
story about JT getting arrested.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I heard he's bringing sexy back BAC blood alcohol content.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Oh jeez, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But if I what people are doing now is saving
that image of his mugshot in their phone. And if
I ever send it to you, that just means, hey,
I need a ride.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's what people are doing. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
What that's actually productive?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Hey, I want to that idea?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Right, It's part of a marketing ploy and any of
you guys knew it. He's starting a new group. It's
called in jail. That's what it's called.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But again, it's now the the bat signal for hey,
I need you to come pick me up.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I heard, I heard he asked the judge when when
could I drive again? And he said it's gonna be
May and jail.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
He's now a member of the Backdoor Boys.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Bringing Tipsy back.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Right, all right, I think we're done.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think we're done here. Have a good night everyone,
flat person bank all week.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Not a joking matter, but there is some silver lining
and funny stuff involved.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No one was hurt.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It was a bonehead decision, but consider a learning less Yeah,
if people could take away and say, listen, Uber and
Lyft make it so easy for the average person.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And if you're rich, why are you not have a driver? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I never understood that. Maybe maybe they want the freedom,
the freedoms of it.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
Yes, I would think in the Hampton's where they're like
removed from kind of you know, mainstream society, it's all
party out there. I think they just want to like
live a normal life for a little bit. But because
everyone's wealthy out there, everyone if you're rich though, I
never understood that. But then again, I'm not rich, so
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But when you see a lot of rich, when you
see a lot of athletes get popped for this, or
celebrities get popped for a Dui dwi. I'm always shocked
because with that income, not just.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Your income, the teams that a lot of athletes pay
for provide car service.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Doesn't the NFL have an ongoing if you need a ride,
the Players Association has as a the ability.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
You could have called Taylor Swift to swing by with
her jet to drive and drive him down the street.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You could have done that, could have done anything.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well again, just send the picture to whoever your designated
driver is and they'll get the idea. Hey, Rich, I
want to bring something up before we get into other
stuff in midweek Major and Chris Simms, Actually, you know what,
I'll keep you on that cliffhanger because there was something
I noticed at the Yankee.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Game yesterday and I want to bring it up.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
But Danny g has to tell us the six cheapest
sixteen ounce beers in baseball in football.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
That's right, yeah, coming up for this new NFL season,
A compiled list here compiled list a sixteen ounce beer
the price at every NFL stadium in front of me.
We did the top six, the most expensive, now the cheapest.
Where you like to be on the bottom of the
list here for I fans sake.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I think these might be teams that have some good,
blue collar, gritty fans, maybe smaller market team spilt.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Yeah, and who do you think is coming in at
eight dollars and forty cents?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know, I bet you're a work in class town
like Detroit's on the bottom of this list.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'm going to say.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
I'm going to say Denver because I feel like Denver's
a brew town buyer.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Give me Cincinnati. I like that. That's what I was
gonna take. Covino.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I somebody mentioned Green Bay. I'm going with that one.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
Iow, Sam, I'll just go Cleveland just because Dan took Cincinnati.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Eight dollars and forty cents. If you are a Patriots fan,
what yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow? It was like Sam Adams partnership. And maybe did
somebody guess Cleveland I did?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Coming in next to eight dollars and thirteen cents, tied
with the Cardinals and the Ravens. Fun times in Cleveland
for three teams are tied at eight dollars?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Even who do you think?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Ooh did it?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Did one of the ones? We mentioned Lions here?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Now?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
All three we didn't mention No way Bears.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
No, I'm going to go Saints now were part of
the top.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, they were eleven fifty.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, Jacksonville on Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Maybe Rich was talking. I'll give you a clue.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Rich was talking about, Oh, Minnesota is one of them,
and you were talking about a state your wife is from.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You think Cowboys got a cheat?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Oh jeez, okaid, Jerry's probably got I was just naming
teams and I was going to say Texans are Saints.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
He just said Saints.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
By the way, all thirty Cowboys are up towards the
top at nine dollars and fifty cents. The Colts, so
the Colts, Vikings, Texans all at eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Is there a correlation as to how much they pay
their quarterbacks?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
There might be.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Let's be honest, at Colts games, they should be forty
five bucks, right, forty five perfectly?
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Or four dollars and fifty cents all right? Who said Broncos?
I did seven dollars and fifty cents for the Broncos
in Denver. Yeah, not a bad price high there, And
then I think buyer, you guess Cinci, right I did.
They are one of the cheapest down second to last.
Six dollars and fifty nine cents. Wow, under seven bucks.
For a sixteen ounce beer, and two are tied for
(06:39):
the cheapest drink sixteen ounce beer in the NFL. Somebody
guessed the Lions. Yeah, Lions are there, and who else
is to anybody?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
The final team Titans.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
No, I'll give you a clue.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
This team is known for their inexpensive concessions.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
It's like their marketing.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh the Falcons, well, yes, oh because of Augusta.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Yeah, the Lions and the Falcon six dollars and twenty
five cents.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Okay, so hold on, let's put this again in perspective.
The cheapest beer Lions in the Falcons six twenty five
for sixteen outs?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
What's the most expensive? Again?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Up at the top, fourteen dollars and sixty seven cents
for the Eagles fan more than double.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's a big price difference for the same beer.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, you know, it's like it's like movie theater prices
at some of these stadiums right where it's.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Like unless one's serving PBR and one's serving like.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah again from fourteen sixty cent craft, No, you know
they're not though.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So those are the prices for sixteen outs beers this
coming season in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
And back to the MLB real quick.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm pretty pumped because Dan Byer mentioned Garrett Cole makes
his debut for the season tonight for the Yankees. I
don't expect anybody to care about the Yankees, but something
cool happened. I think we can all relate.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
To good because I don't care about the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Hear me out, you, Boso, you think anyone cares about
Grimace And I'm entertaining your stupid story.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
They bring out the King from Burger King, No, what
do you think they should?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
They're bringing out Garrett Cole.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
They brought up the Jack in the box Sky brown Head, And.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I just wanted to say, because again, so many things happen.
No one cares about the Yankees. This went under the radar,
but as a Yankees fan, I just want to bring
it to light. Anytime some young kid gets called up
to the big leagues and they get their first hit,
you only get one first hit or a first home run,
it's always a beautiful moment. You see the family there
in the crowd cheering their kid. On yesterday, Ben Rice
(08:45):
got called up because Anthony Rizzo's injured and he's out
in definitely. I think like ten weeks or something. I'm
not even sure yet with the wrist injury. So Ben
Rice comes up and the Yankees give him the roll
call and he turns around. He eats a bawl of
Rice and everyone goes wild because he's trying to do.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Something fun and different. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Then he comes up against Albert Suarez of the Orioles
and gets his first hit in his first game as
a professional baseball player. But dude, I've never seen a
guy smiling from ear to ear from home play all
the way running through first base. I've never seen such
(09:27):
glee from a grown man. I mean a young man,
but a grown man. He's twenty five in his debut
this way, and it was so noticeable that they were
commenting on it, like he can't even hide his smile,
because most dudes got that aggressive, determined sort of look
as they're running toward first. Then he gets on first
and it was like a little leaguer getting their first hit.
(09:48):
He dude smiling ear to ear and it was so
great to see, and his family's going nuts, and again
it's what sports is really about. These are great moments,
and because you're not a Yankees fan, you missed it.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
But I think you can all relate to. And then
the weakest part of the story was he's so pumped.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
He goes to high five first base coach Travis Chapman,
and Travis Chapman's not looking at him and leaves him hanging.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You that's great.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
So it's like it was like a roller coaster of emotions.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's like the happiest guy on the planet, and he's
telling everybody how surreal this was. It was magical, he said,
you know, making his major league debut was better than
the dream could ever be. The reality just was Trump's
the dream. But he went from hitting his single and
feeling all this glee and joy, to me, the most
(10:38):
empty feeling of all being left hanging when you're trying
to give someone a high five or shake their hand.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
So just wanted to throw that out there.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
If you see the highlight, I'm telling you, or if
you need a smile, watching this kid get his first
big league hit is.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
One of the best moments I've seen.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
There's only one that I can think that matches what
you're describing, because what you're just I is great because
there is a sense of like, yo, I'm gonna play
a cool.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I like it I like it, none of it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I like when they show the emotions, and you know,
when you're a young player getting that first hit, this
it's twofold.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's a wow, I got a hit in the bigs.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But once you get your first hit, you could then
settle in and play your game, you know, because if
you start out oh for three, oh for four, then
you start getting your own head like I gotta get
my first hit, like get it one for getting that
first hit out of the way is so important for
a young player. But do you remember this. I don't
if spot if you or I was saying, I want
to look it up. Who is the guy? It might
(11:34):
have been a Florida Marlin, Miami Marlin. They were interviewing
his dad in the stands while he while he hit
a home run. And the pure emotion you saw from
his dad, it gets you emotional.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Show.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I mean, dude, like, you don't need to hate the
Yankees to appreciate this moment.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And that's a great the one you speak of. I
forget who it was.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's an incredible moment for just you and I have
been watching baseball since we were a little can pie
haircutted kids. His reaction is one of the best I've
ever seen. It wasn't for a first hit in the bigs.
Was it Bobby Witt Junior?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Maybe it happened to him, but I remember it was
a National League guy, And I do remember his dad
being interviewed while the home run is hit, and you
see the pure emotion and enjoy, and you think of
all the hours that dad and mom put into him,
and you know, think of all the baseball practices and
catches in the yard and everything, and like you're there
on live TV and your kid hits a home run
(12:28):
in his first game.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's that true.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
You know, until you're a parent, I you know, you
and I are both self centered type of guys. When
you have a kid and you realize, like, wow, I
actually care about someone more than myself. Yeah, I can
only imagine what those parents feel like when you see
your kid make his NFL debut or get drafted in
the NBA. These things must be almost like it might
(12:51):
mean more to the parent than the kid.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
In a weird way, It's possible this kid was not
hiding his emotions. So instead of scrolling past that Yankee
clip like you always do when you see some goofy
looking young kids smiling on first base. Be sure to
watch that clip because it's one. It's one of the
ones that stood out to me. Well, hey, I'll watch that.
You watch the Mets win eight in a row tonight,
(13:14):
let's hope, and we'll go to your phone calls, your feedback.
I do want to bring up something though. We talked
about Grimace and we joked about oh the burger king
or uh, you know, bring out the big head from
jacket a box.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
There's a there's a viral trend. There's two trends that
have to do with food. Number one is have you
seen this trend where women are trying to keep up
with the pace their man eats at?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
No, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Like a woman and a guy, they'll have the same entree,
and the woman's whole joke as she sets up her
phone like in a hidden way and she tries to
keep the pace, and it just shows how gross we
are as good dues and how fast we eat. Like
these women are like struggling to keep up. I struggle
to keep up with you. I can only imagine what
your wife is but you don't realize, like whether it's pizza,
burger or anything. Guys eat fast and they're gross and
(14:00):
women are more pick pick little pieces. So that's a
funny trend. And the other trend is we forget you
bringing up mascots for for fast food. If I were
to say to you, another grown ass many.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Thrown ass man, oh Yo Kiato, Yeah, Taco Bell, the Chihuahua,
the chewi Wee.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I was sam Yo Kiato Taco Bell. I know you
love Taco Bell.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
There's a trend on social media where people are asking
teens and twenty somethings and they're like, you'll care, I want.
I don't know, because we forget that ad campaign is
from the late nineties.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So when you think of.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That little chihuahua ya Kiado Taco Bell, you go that, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Crap is over twenty five years old, so you got
to bring them back.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So it's been a minute. Like the same way we
forget that Wendy's isn't yellow anymore.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Right, Yeah, old way, old yellow Wendy's was the best.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Old yellow Wendies.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, no Yo Kato Taco Bell. That's that's that's old
guy stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh Man Sound Sucks eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is Cavino and Rich who do want to say
hello to real quick?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Before we move on, let's say how to John in Paradise, California.
I think you want to chime in on the death
of Willie Mays and how baseball legends is not many
old school guys left.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What's up, John?
Speaker 10 (15:24):
How are you doing today today?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Anyboddy?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Well, you know, I was listening to you, and I
was thinking about that, and I'm got I remember when
I was a kid kind of chose my age, just
as when I come home to the afternoon paper that
tells you how long ago that's been. They don't have
those anymore much, those papers at all.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Now.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
As a kid, I come home and I tear through
to the sports page and just to see if Reggie
Jackson had hit a home run, you know, I mean
just every day. I mean just I tear through to that,
and and that's kind of tieing those two eras together.
When REGGI, you know, when Reggie and Willie was still
right at the end of his career, when Reggie was
coming up with the AP and not many of them left,
and you know, I don't know what happened. I blinked
(16:04):
isan from thirteen to sixty all of a sudden, and
you know, and it's it's sad that we're losing all
those players. And I was talking to Dan when I
answered the phone, and he answer the phone. I didn't
even remember read you was still alive. You know, we're
so stuck in all this other crud. You don't nobody
read the paper anymore?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Yeah, listen, I mean, no one's read that.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
No one's read the paper unless you get a USA
Today under your hotel door. You know, I don't even
know they if they make papers, but I have, you know,
based on what you said, I had a random thought
and question and thanks.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
For the call.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
John just cried in journalism, Covino, let me ask you
the same way when you take your kids bowling, and
they would have no clue how to keep score because
it's all automatic. Now, Like if you're an old school
you know how to keep bowling score. Spare ten plus
your next throw a strike plus your next two throws.
Like you and I know how to keep score. You
(16:56):
know how to keep baseball score. Do you think a
kid knows how to read a box score?
Speaker 10 (17:02):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Because like you would, you would look in the daily
News or New York Times, you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Know, because probably not or maybe I don't know, Like
that's a good question.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
When I was, you know, New York Post, Daily News,
you would grab the paper and be like, oh, look
last night, you know, Darryl Strawberry went two for four
with a double Danny g What was the paper out
here that you would read the box score?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
And what was like the local LA paper.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Local La?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Whoa was there any the.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
La Times, the local paper, the local paper, the local news.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But the box score, damn buyer. I'd imagine you were
a kid that read the box scores as a kid, right, dB.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I'm still the Caps alive if I missed the game,
you know, by the way, to our last caller or
anyone that joined us, we were saying how Reggie was
sort of the guy they handed the baton too, you know,
the all school crew of Willie May's that era. The
Reggie documentary is on Prime Video if you want to
check it out.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
I will say this, guys, our box, like our paper
or local paper wouldn't get the late games.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
In so would say it would say late games, yes.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Yes, and so it would be you'd get the Yankees
and Mets and buy us the Brewers. But when it
went to print, maybe the Dodgers and Angels were playing
too late, so you wouldn't be able to get those
box scores.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
And that is a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Unlocked memory that West Coast people don't even know existed. Yes, correct, Yo,
Danny J. You didn't even know that existed.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Huh. Like on the East Cast, you'd get like the
New York Deaily News. The next day you'd be like, oh, the.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yankees one last night, all the Mets lost, Oh the Pirates,
the Phillies. But it would be like Dodgers. It would
just say late, there was no box score. So the
next day you would have a double box Cats from
Monday and from Monday. So they go a little reminiscing
on Kevin on Wretch talk about the living legends, Rest
(18:56):
in peace, Willie Mays. Now coming up. We down for
Midweek Major Cavino. We're down the biggest stories in the
world of sports and pop culture? Are they Midweek or
Major Plus?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I know Rich wants to go over Chris Simms quarterback ranking,
so yeah, because we'll do that.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
It's I feel like there's a little disrespect on some names,
and I think other people way overvalued. So again everyone's
going to have their own opinion. So I'll talk some NFL,
QBS and midweek major all next right here Canvin on
Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Get to that, though, I do want to say I
watched the clip you sent me of Ben Rice. Yeah,
the Yankee, the young Yankee, the kids gleaming ear to ear,
and even Michael Kay points out like he's not hiding
a smile.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Look at this kid.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
And you guys were thinking of Easton Diaz of the
Marlins in your previous conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Jannie, do you have that clib Diaz Kabino. He was
at City Field facing Jacob de Gram and they're interviewingan
Diaz's dad while the kids in the batter's box take.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
A listen to this great moment.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Waita, we're extremely happy for him. Is this an emotional
day for you?
Speaker 9 (22:20):
Very very emotionate, so awesome.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
But that's really what it's all about. That in the
Hokey Pokey.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So cool, the dad's losing it.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Watch he apologizes to the reporter. That's the best.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
All right, wow, no apology need it.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
And if you watch that Ben Rice clip when he's
you know, floating and gleaming from ear to ear, smiling
and his first big lead lead hit yesterday, they if
you watched a whole clip, you do see his family too,
going wild so that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Well, listen, that's that's that's a big part of it.
When you see the moms and dads and the crowd
cheering on their kids. Always always a very special moment.
You saw it all season with Brock Party over the
last year, so right, you saw a lot of Brock Party.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Dad every game. All right, let's do this mid Week Major?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Who do.
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week?
When mid Week Major? I love that we throw sports
and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and
it's like the kids.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
We definitely major.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
See in our score Midweek Major.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Ah, when you hear the horns, hey, you know you
have made it to the middle of the week. Before
I passed things over to the number one and only
hosted a segment. We usually roll the big Red Love Dice,
(24:28):
but since covenos all the way in New Jersey, I'm
gonna flip the pizza. Oh no, I have from NBC
Sports the Penny from Ben Mallor's TV show Benny Versus
the Penny wash your hand as Penny. I used can't
sanitizer on this before.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I here's some wipes all right, we're gonna get a
microphone on the penny.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Hold on all right ready? Oh and you got to
call it first.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Riches please go here we go. No, it is heads.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Oh that means rich gets first take.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'll receive. Is that a sound effect or was that real?
I can't tell you.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Oh it's real.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It's really good. Really I can't tell Thank you.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person from
Scotch Plains New Jersey besides Judy Blue Ah Man, Spotty boy.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Ah you doing guys, who's going first? I'm going first?
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's you know what. I have stories for you. Rich Okay,
you've had hair plugs right the chitatio, but I would
if I were, if I were going bald, they would.
I can't, Tony, So this one's for you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Pay attention to former La Galaxy star Landon Donovan was
broadcasting with Fox Sports our team that's part of the
Euro twenty twenty four coverage, and while covering the France
versus Austria game, he appeared on camera and people took
note of his odd hairstyle on the side of his head.
Immediately went viral, people speculating what was going on and
(25:48):
he his teammate Mike McGee had a posted a text
exchange between the two of them where Donovan revealed that
he actually two weeks earlier and had hair transplants and
they was a shore that it wouldn't show up on camera,
but it did.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
So if you look at it, it looks like it's
like a split in his hair.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Yeah, you can see little dots underneath, like he had
hair plugs going on.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
But he poked fun out and he had fun with it.
Midweek or major. Listen, I I think it's men. I'll
tell you why. I will because because you have hair pugs.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I feel as though it's such a it's such a
thing that guys should have investigate more if you lose
in your hair. I I you know, I know it
costs money, but you.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
See Portnoy's hair before and after we'll trade a lot
of people. Let does everyone go Turkey?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Rich just doesn't have hair plugs. He
just has a round trip ticket to Turkey on our
next vacation. Oh. But I will also say, you know what,
I'll say this is major because when it comes to
body positivity, women go all out and they support all
these things.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
And guys just make fun of each other, and we
need to normalize.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
These things a little more. You know, losing your hair
could be dramatic for a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Some people roll with it and that's cool. Some people
own it. Some people look good when they lose their hair,
but not everybody does.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And Landon Donovan was one of those guys who was
not really that stoked about losing his hair. And I
think they really misled him by saying they would notice
this really noticeable, right, And you know, for him to
just own it and put it out there, it just
makes it easier for other men to feel comfortable about it.
And so many people are going to Turkey for these procedures,
(27:25):
and I think there's no shame in that.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I think Sebastia Maniscalco the comedian got some done. Jerry
Seinfeld has a fresh hair new I think there's though
shame in it. You're right, Kevino made a great point women,
you know, they it's one of the few things women
got each other's back.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
On, like look at my new bub look at my moves,
look at this.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I got botox, I got this, I got that at
Guys should be able to do stuff without getting their
joybos busted.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So hey, you know what doing wade bogs? You ever
see that guy's hair before after?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Incredible?
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Great?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
All right, all right.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Travis Kelce has finally commented on the infamous Super Bowl
ring Typo. As you know, they receive their rings last week,
five and twenty nine diamonds, thirty eight rubies and one
big typo. On the list of the inside their road
to the Championship, it listed the seed wrong, big deal?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Who cares?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
It's a number.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
It's aid the Dolphins were the seventh seventy seeds instead
of the sixth.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Right, and so Kelsey commented by saying, I don't give
an s. He said, I like, it makes it seem
like we didn't even give an f about what seed
the Miami Dolphins were, So who cares? And he also
said it makes it more unique and exclusive, so he's
excited about it, having fun with him.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Midweker Major.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I think this is like a non story because honestly,
is anyone gonna remember what the seed they were?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's an inaccuracy, but they won the Super Bowl? Who cares?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I'm saying this is the skippity Ohio Riz. I think
we'd have to change the name of the show this segment.
I think this is a mid story, but I think
it's really weak. Spot that you have one job. This
happen right far too often when it comes to sculptures,
a statue recently exactly like this is your job. It
(29:03):
didn't go through a process where people checked it and
double checked it and spell checked it. Like you didn't
get it right, Like who's dropping the ball on this?
It's it's not that big of a deal. I get it,
but this is their Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
They couldn't get it right.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Come on, come on, it's weak, all right, Rich Another
one for you. You don't really like this one? Your
favorite minor league team, the Portland Pickles. Oh, I love
the point. You follow them very religiously.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
They're making history, Kerkins all day right by becoming the
first listen to this, the first American sports team to
offer THHC based libations inside its venue. The Pickles are
their wooden Back Collegiate Summer League founded in twenty fifteen,
and in order to entice fans to come to their game,
they partnered with cycling Frog Light Seltzer to sell THHD
(29:48):
seltzers at their game. The drinks contained two milligrams of
THHD I know, you know the levels, and four milligrams
of CBD, so not too much, but enough.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
To just have a little little happy buzz.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
That's like not as you know, Oregon is on the
list of where it's legal to sell marijuana growing list.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So is this midweek or major?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
This is major because we're headed in the right direction
where alcohol I think is more dangerous than weed. There's
a brand of THCHD in feud Seltzers. Perhaps Blue Ribbon
PBR has a brand ten milligrams each. I'd rather have
like one or two of those called a day than
loading up on booze. So hey, I think we're heading
in the right direction. I'm a fan. I'm a fan
of the THHD drinks.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I actually agree with Rich this one, and he's right,
man two. That's like, that's really that's light light, but
in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I'm cool with it. Portland Pickles, let's go all right.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
By the way, if you played for the Portland Pickles,
if you don't have a green baseball bat, then I
mean even playing fuck all right?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make it
or not make it in the big leagues.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Well.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
According to Buck Showalter, he has a specific list of
characteristics that he looks for when drafting players. The two
main ones that he said he looks for are whether
or not they have facial hair and whether or not
they have flat butts. Let me, let me explain. He said,
he's looking at how high their butt is. I don't
know why. Maybe if they do have good strong legs
(31:15):
and do squats. Well, there's so much of a baseball
swing that has to do with your your your core.
So and a full beard, and this I found interesting.
He said, the full beard is they're usually fully grown.
So if you see a guy with a full beard,
you have to like what you see because you're not
gonna get much more out of them because they pretty
much fully matured. And he also said, you don't really
(31:36):
see many guys playing with pancake asses.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Can I say that? Sorry?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, but so that was he's midweaker major. I think
it's major.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Buck Showalter a great mind in baseball. And those are
two silly things, but they both make sense. If a
prospect has a full beard, he's not going to grow anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
And yeah, well look at it. Maybe that's why the
Mets got Starling Marte when when he was there, and
maybe he's like yoing to that Moody some juicy butt.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
So I get it.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Julio Franko must have been his favorite prospect.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Guy. I heard he's drafting.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Uh uh, Summer rais million. Yeah, Summer Ray is gonna
be on the next days.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Oh boy, seriously, this is a mid story. It's an
interesting story, but it's a mid story. It's like, what
does Buck Show Walter and a young woman on the
prow have in common? They're both looking for dudes with
facial hair and big.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
But juicy butts.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah I didn't know that, but you know what, the
bigger the butt, the more you could play slap ass
in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah all right, well, you know, spot.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I think we're running out of time. You know, I
think that's a great story, ed Dann Bayer. But let's
go to Dan Bayer, Damn Byer, which got facial hair
and booty?
Speaker 5 (32:48):
We aren't talking Yankees?
Speaker 6 (32:50):
And can you know mentioned to the Garrett Cole story
making his season debut tonight, Aaron Judge not in the
lineup after he was hit on the hand by that
pitch last night against the Orioles. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw
is going to make a rehab start tonight for single
A Rancho Cucamonga. Dave Roberts, the Dodgers skipper, was on
our affiliate AM five to seventy LA Sports, home of
(33:11):
the Dodgers, and he intimated that Walker Bueler could be
headed for some rest, maybe in il stint as Bueler
got roughed up last night in Denver. In on Field
Baseball News, Price Harper homer twice. But that's all the
offense the Phillies got. They felled to the Padres today
five to two. Marlin Speed the Cardinals four to three.
Pirates all won nothing win against the Reds. Braves won
(33:32):
earlier today against the Tigers. Seven nothing comes for six
five victors against the Giants. Well, the Nationals took out
the Diamondbacks by a score of three to one. College
World Series Florida eliminated Kentucky earlier today by a score
of fifteen to four. Kentucky eliminated. Gators are going to
have Texas A and M later on tonight. They're going
to follow this Tennessee Florida State game. That right now
(33:55):
is in the bottom of the ninth inning. Tennessee up
on the Seminoles by a score of seven to t
to Euro twenty twenty four. Germany beat Hungary today to nil.
Switzerland and Scotland played to a one to one draw.
Pistons fired at coach Monty Williams after just one year,
Pacers in Pascal Siakim close to a four year MAX extension,
La Sparks rookie Cameron Brink done for the year with
(34:15):
a torn ACL and Yahoo Sports is the ncaa presentative
proposal of the Conference commissioners that would expand the sixty
eight team NC DOUBLEA tournament to either seventy two or
seventy six teams. This is an official This is a
proposal that will be reviewed over the next couple of
weeks and possibly months. The additional teams would come from
at large bids with an additional first for sight just
(34:37):
some of the plans laid out. If they do expand
the tournament, guys back to you.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
God, dB, there's expansion that makes sense. This expansion that
pushed the limits. You could argue the third wildcard in
baseball leaves a you know, like an eighty three eighty
four win win team that maybe doesn't deserve it in there,
but the fans can enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
If you're not a top sixty four team, beat it.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
I mean, I think a lot of people feel that
same way.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Listen, college football, I felt the opposite. It used to
be a vote. Then it was like, all right, you
have a game. Then now it's the four. I'm okay
with eight to ten or twelve teams. But once you start,
if you can't, if you can't be a top sixty
four basketball team, maybe it's time to revamp the program.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
The one silver lining I'll say is they seem to
make great efforts to keep that sixty four team bracket
that we all make our picks in intact. So the
bracket contest would not go away, because you would have
if you had seventy two teams, you'd have those eight
teams playing prior in games and then move on to
the bracket.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Gotcha, sort of like the play in in the NBA. Yeah,
where you still got eight teams, but the nine to
ten and okay, I could get with that.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I could get with that, all right. Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Bayer, Cavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio now, Cavino,
I do want to touch on this Chris Simms list.
I got no beef of Chris Simms, but he came
out with his list of the top forty quarterbacks in
the NFL. Well, and of course these things always get
people talking. But I want to point out a couple
that he ranked a little high and low in my opinion,
(36:07):
and we'll go over that next. I know we're in
the off season, but you can never talk enough NFL.
Mar Covin and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Cavino and Rich live from the tire rack dot com studios.
And just a quick reminder, it's getting late early. We
start the weekend officially tomorrow. Thursday's the new Friday, So
Tomorrow old School win fifty hits.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
We love to reminis and throw it back and.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Get you involved every Thursday, so stick around and join
us Manana for that.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I did want to point out two things. As much
as I love the grimmest hype of the New York
Mets being a New York Mets fan, something that enough
people aren't talking about is the impact of this young
star player. It's not getting They're not getting enough attention.
And I don't want to be the guy that blow
up their spot because let's keep them under the radar,
but Francisco Alvarez could arguably be the best young catcher,
(38:00):
top three catcher in the game. You know, the Mets
have been so back and forth this year. Remember they
started awful, then they played great, then got awful. Now
they're playing great. He was on the il during that
second cold streak. The Mets are eighteen and one in
Alvarez's last nineteen games.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I mean, again, like you said, it's not like he
came out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
He was. He's a good player and some of those
guys could be hugely impactful in the lineup. And I
used Judge as the reference last year, the minute he
went down for the Yankees, the lineup fell apart, the
team fell apart, and he's missing tonight's game. So I'm
hoping he comes back real quick. So to have him
back in your lineup, man, it's it's just hugely impactful,
(38:46):
like I said, And with the luck of Grimace, your
team's looking good.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Another thought before we get to this Chris Sims quarterback deal,
Monty Williams, did you see how much this guy is collecting? Now, dB,
I'm sure this is accurate because I know Doug was
talking about it. But our buddy Rob who listens, and
san Antonio said, have you guys mentioned that the two
buyouts of Monty Williams contracts between the Suns and the
Pistons are twenty and sixty five million equaling eighty five
(39:15):
million dollars in coaching payouts.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Not too bad, and he's fifty two years old, So this.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Guy could just chill forever. If I'm Monty Williams, do
you even want to go back at it? He just say,
you know what, what a fun time.
Speaker 6 (39:29):
You should find other teams that are bad that may
fire him after one season to rack it up even more.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Hey, anyone else who's up next?
Speaker 11 (39:36):
Some on?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Geez?
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Can you imagine that you get fired back to back
jobs and your payoffs are twenty and sixty five million dollars?
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Equally? Feel bad for him eighty five dollars in free money.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
There is a case not to damp in the parade
where there was offset money, where maybe if he gets
another job, they're not old as it's not old as much,
but still it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
All right, let's talk about Chris Simms, the son of
of course legend Phil Simms, who no longer with CBS.
Remember they said, we're done with blonde white guys.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Chris Sim's a good dude, though we've had some run
ins with Chris. Chris Simms always very nice to us.
He came out with a list and it's the top
forty quarterbacks in the NFL going into this season, and
he posted it on his ig, posted on his Twitter.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
It's everywhere. It's been around for a second, but it
finally got my attention.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
I'll tell you that. So every year he does his
annual QB list. Now you can imagine who's on the
top of this list. Danny g Iowa, Sam cove Spot,
no surprise, right, you got my homes at number one,
the usual suspects in your top five, Josh Allen Burrow,
Lamar Jackson. And then you get to that middle middle
ground where it's like, you know, Lamar, I'm sorry, Justin
(40:51):
Herbert CJ. Stroud, Stafford, dak Jalen, Hurtz Goff. A couple
that stood out to me. He has brock Purty down
at number seventeen. Do you think that is a little
bit of a diss or Do you think brock Purty
is on the bottom half of the NFL quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
This is what based on not just his foy.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Hey, these are who I think of the forty best quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Best quarterbacks, and I don't think that's a diss.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
I don't think anyone says that he's one of the
top quarterbacks as far do.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
You think he's in the bottom half? Danergy, you think
pat those.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Guys that's perfect for the team, and that's that's not
a diss at all. But I don't think he has
the same To put him in the category of a
Lamar Jackson would be inaccurate.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
He was an MVP candidate until the final three or
four games.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
I would think he should be somewhere right around eight.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
I think top. I think he's bottom of the top ten.
I think I think Rock Party is like nine or
ten or eleven around there. Trevor Lawrence he has his
number eleven. What the hell has Trevor Lawrence done?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
I think he's just basically on what these guys are
capable of, like potential wise, and although brock Party has
a knack for winning and he's great at what he does,
they are very much different as far as potential and
what's expected of them.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
He has. I think that's where he's coming from.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
I'm not necessarily saying that brock Perty belongs lower down there.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
I think that's where he's coming from.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
I think Trevor Lawrence way overrated at number eleven when
he's really been mediocre. Because didn't we talk about he
had the exact stats as who our boy Gardner Minshew,
who's number thirty nine on his list of the top
forty quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
It's disrespect saying that.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
He Again, why is Trevor Lawrence getting paid Because they're
not looking at his stats comparable to Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
They're basing it on what this guy's capable of. So
