We gotta talk Gardner Minshew and relax because whatever we
(01:28):
don't get to we have a bonus podcast over promised
on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. We do it once
a week where we cram in all the stuff we
didn't get to. Now, Gardner Minshew When I say his name, even,
what's the first thing that comes to mind? Spark plug
yeah right, fire crack like wild cor wild guy. Yeah yeah.
(01:53):
Mustache is another Smar mustache hair the photo shoot even
with the Raiders, like that man headband.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, he's like the animal.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hey, guys, giuse umpets now, me like football, So I
really enjoy the vibe as we all do of Garner Minshew.
Now is a guy like that more fun? When he's
your backup that gets a chance and he lights it up,
That might be a little more fun. Then when you're like, oh,
he's our starter now, Oh, I think so. I don't
(02:23):
want to put him in a box. I don't like
when people put you in a box or me in
a box, right, But I do see him as that
guy when he's a guy got his character in his
makeup and his way of playing that seems to fit
that role very Ryan Fitzpatrick like, where, I don't know
if I want this guy to be my starter, yo,
But if he has to start four games and he
(02:43):
goes three to one and he brings some excitement, change
the tempo of the game, could change the outcome, get
people fired up. It's a big raw ra guy. Yeah,
it could change the whole feeling of what's going on
in the moment. You want that from your backup. But
when you're looking at a full seventeen plus game schedule
ahead of you and you're like, oh, with the Raiders
and he's like our QB one, I don't know if
(03:06):
it has the same Hey five, you're wrong, right right,
Like it's we all probably have a middle infielder that
you're like, oh, you know what, I like that guy's heart,
But do you want him batting third every single day? Probably? Not,
by the way, your best hitter. It's so obviously different
now that he's got a bat first or second. In
(03:27):
today's world, more at bats more at bats man. It's
crazy how much that's changed in the past ten years
of baseball, and not even five years where your superstar
players not batting third or fourth anymore. Yeah, So I
bring up Minshew for a reason. I saw a clip
of him. He talked to some of the guys Big
Cat and those dudes on barstool, and he told the story.
(03:50):
And my takeaway was that it's one of two things.
I'll let you decide before I give you my opinion.
Gardner Minshew talks about how he loves football so much
and he's so competitive. There came a point when he
tried to break his own hand. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
The only thing I could do would be to get
a medical red shirt. But if I played in this
next game, then that would be off the table. So
you know, I get an idea, get an idea. I
go home, I grab a bottle of Jack Daniels, and
I grab a hammer and go back into my room.
I take a pull of Jack Daniels, put my hand
(04:34):
down on the table and put one.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Two, three, hit the hell out of my hand. Dude,
I'm sitting there shaking, but I know it's not broke.
So I'm like, God, come on, take another pull, one, two,
three again, still nothing. I'm just shaking at this point. Man,
this is but I knew it wasn't broken. So one
more time, another pool, another three hits and that was
all I could take. I couldn't break my own hand.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Do you I see Manzi shaking her han. Is that
psycho behavior or are you like that's a baller right there?
Psycho behavior?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Because I think there are easier ways to break your hand,
my guy, Oh that's your thought.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, yeah, I think right that's what we could have done.
This a lot easier to break out jack. Maybe some tequila. Yeah,
and then can you run over my hand or something.
I just like tequila would have been a much better decision.
It would have been a much better decision. Better be real.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
It just seems like we could have broken your hand
in a much easier way.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's the psychotic part. The way he did it. Well again,
if you missed it, it was he needed to be medical,
have a medical red shirt excuse for one more I
guess year of eligibility. Yeah, so that was his last
living brain cell, and that was his idea. He's like,
I'll just break my own hand. Then, well, think about it.
You could say desperate and crazy. You could say what
(05:46):
a competitor that he's thinking. Yah, I played meaningless snaps
and if I have to fill in again, this counts
as a year of my college career. I can't have
that if I have bigger goals. So well, it's not
my throwing hand. Hey give me, do I take my
left hand. It's psycho. It's crazy. It's both, it's it's
(06:07):
you know. It shows his dedication to the game, but
it also exposes how crazy this. We talked recently about
that rugby olympian who cut their finger off so they
could keep playing. Yeh, that's Psycho. I'm going Psycho rich
if I, if I have two choices, we are Psycho
his finger off during a Super Bowl so he could
stay in the game. So I'm going Psycho. You can say, man,
(06:28):
that's great, that's what I want. That's the heart and
the kind of leader I want. No, I think you're
just a maniac. I would never do that. Now, I
remember I had a I don't know. I'm not comparing
the two let's make that. I remember I had a
you ever go to get a root canal or something,
they put a crown on your tooth, and that doesn't
fit right. They give you like a temporary crown, and
(06:48):
your bite is off. My bite was so off once
the swelling went down, and it was bothering me so hard.
I took a nail file. I was filing it down
on my own, and I remember Rich being like, you
know what, and I know it sounds terrible, but bro,
it was driving me so crazy and I couldn't get
It was like over the weekend or something like that,
so I couldn't get an appointment, and I was filing
(07:10):
down this this tooth of mine. But it was it
was a temporary crown. But I remember Rich saying how
I was a maniac for doing that. Everyone has a
different threshold of pain and what's okay, Well, I'm just
gonna keep that in mind, dental pain and if I
remember correctly, but dude, that bite was driving me crazy.
I gotta call you out with the whole story, yeah,
because you know I have to. I'm pretty sure it
(07:33):
was around the time where let's just say, maybe your
ex were spending a lot of money, and you were like,
you were like, have you had in La house or
New York house? You were going back and forth and
You're like you were like to save money, you had
a dental student do your work.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yeah, that's true. And I was a night You're like, dude,
what do you do? I was gripping onto that chair
so had That's probably what happened. That's probably why I
had such an off bite. So I'm trying to fix
it myself with a nail five. I remember seeing you know,
had a metal file in his mouth, and I'm like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He's like, no true story. Again, I'm not comparing him.
I'm just saying, sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.
Let me tell you, I look at this guy and say,
while while this is such crazy behavior, this is the
type of guy you want on your team. I forgot
a guy that's willing to do anything. We live in
(08:25):
a world where people question all the week ass reasons
guys sit out games and load management and all a
little tweak, a little bit, they're on the il garna minshew.
I promise you hearing that story, Danny, you'll, as a
Raiders fan, never questioned his heart not at all. I mean,
this is football. It does show you how tough he is.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I think a lot of Raider Nation is hoping that
they have rich Gannon two point zero because if you
think back to Gannon, he stuck his neck out to
get a first down. And when the Raiders were playing
the Cults in that very important game towards the end
of last season, both teams needed a win to try
to sneak into the playoffs. Raiders left it all out there.
(09:04):
Who wouldn't let them win that game? Minshew? He was
sticking his neck out left and right, and I remember
thinking to myself, Man, we need a dude like that,
and they got him, and I'm I'm convinced that that
performance got him that money, that thirty million from the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Man, well, listen, Gardner, Minshew, your thoughts right? Kind of
attitude or just psycho?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I mean trying to break your own hand with a hammer.
You ever watch those horror movies manse where like like
a saw where they're trapped and it's like never die.
It's like, would you be able to saw off your
own leg? I don't live.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
There's certain things I don't think I can do, like
the one where she has to go in where all
the needles.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Are, Like I'd be like, I'll just kill me. Yeah,
you know the sign off. Maybe I can solve my leg,
maybe liver die. But we buried a key inside your
eye socket? Well just kill I'm good.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
But this guy, think about the dedication. You're in college
drinking really a cell premise. I don't know if I
remember that one.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There was one, Yeah, like there's a key behind your arms,
key you have to dig out your eyeball. Gross? Yeah, no, good.
Think about it. You're in college drinking cheap PBRs in
Milwaukee's Best and hook it up with mediocre looking people,
you know, stumbling home from the bar with no jacket
on and the freezing winter cold. This guy's contemplating breaking
his hand for sports and eligibility. Yeah, that's craziness. Yeah again,
(10:24):
I'm sticking with my answer of psycho, you're you're your example.
But the bull was probably hooking up with a mediocre
look good girl because your buddy was with her friend.
Guy's going to break his hand. That was my version
of taking one for the team. Yeah, this guy was
imagine that, Imagine it really is like you said it. No,
disrespect to Gardner minshew, that is your last living brain cell, Like,
(10:44):
all right, let me get a hammer, sit back.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, No, you needed somebody else to do it, at
least not yourself. You're not going to hit yourself as
hard as you think.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You're Jim Carrey punching himself and liar, liar, She smashes
his face in a toilet seat. Yeah, it's so funny.
You guy's ever seen one hundred and twenty seven hours? No, yes,
uh I think it's.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
His name is Aaron Ralston who falls in that crevass
in Utah and then like a yeah rock lands weirdly
and like pins his arm in there and he has
to literally cut his own arm off to survive to
get out. Yeah, and that, remember it makes sense. But
what Gardner Minshew did? I just find that to be
like unnecessary torment.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And uh Manzi's right too. If you're gonna do that
and use your last living brain cell to make this happen,
you gotta let someone else smash your Yeah, like that
just seems so odd. Like to do it yourself, you
gotta just sit there with drives clothes, like all right.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Do it, go go.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I can't do that on your own. I don't I
don't want to bring up like a terribly gross topic
here on sports. He brought up my ex wife and
she spent money, So I was holding you back. I'm
just saying, like, if if you had to do something
to declay yourself ineligible for a sporting event or team
or organization, I don't know, would you be like would
(12:05):
you think of the least painful? Would be like, honey,
slam my door, but slam my hand in the door
of the car, maybe you break a finger or so like,
there's got to be a better answer than break out
the hammer Gardner Minshew? And then he did he like
is he right handed?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Left handed?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Like?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Which hand did he try to break? Did he is
not throwing handed his non throwing hand. You gotta ask
you what do you what would he? Would you see
a break out the hammer? Are you talking about Minshew?
Or that Olympic dude from the back office break out
the hammer? Talking about Anthony Amaratti? I'm not talking Okay, right, Uh,
let's say what's up to Terry in Mississippi? Terry Gardner,
(12:42):
Minshew psycho or.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Austin Gardner went to Brandon High School. I want to
Pupilow High School. Uh, missip be not that big a
state in population, It's less than three million. And he
had a reputation as this psycho man. That dude was
crazy and with all kinds of crazy shit and jack.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, you know what to hear what Terry said? Hit
the podcast, check the podcast. Can't say that on the radio.
Theory he's podcast unfiltered, Yeah, unfiltered podcast on Fox Sports Radio.
Just check Covino and Rich. But he does bring up
a good point of of Again, some people are just
made of a of a different cloth, like like the
(13:25):
jackass idiots, you know, like that we grew up with.
Did you hear what Steve Ho's latest stunted? Know what
I'm saying if you ask a guy who's cut from
that cloth or that makeup who clearly Gardner Minshew seems
to be like asking him to do something crazy like
that isn't isn't out of question the way it would
be for someone like you and me. No, these are
(13:46):
people to get like weird tattoos for people that like,
oh a few broken bones that you know, these guys
get that on a weekend. Dumb yeah, staple my junk,
what like you know the latest thing Steve O did.
This is a this is a stunt he's doing you
because you're thinking in twenty twenty four, how do I
know he got these guys pushing on unit tattooed on
his face. No, no, I saw that. I was in
(14:07):
the past even more so you know what the next thing?
They have to push the envelope so far to shock
anyone in twenty twenty four. Yeah, but apparently Steve O
is getting breast in plants. Are you serious? And it's
gonna be for a bit and then it's like I'll
get him removed in another.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Point and he's sober up, he's still doing these things
even being sober.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
He's on drugs. Understand where your mind goes. He said,
I always want to know who would be like to
feel so Steve, Oh, that's so he has brain cells
none left. But my point is, if you're cut from
that cloth, you're open to more. You're open to, you know, things,
things that a normal person wouldn't you like. If you're better,
you're minshe's crazier than the average guy likes im proving it.
(14:49):

it's like loser of fantasy football, we get to pick

in high school. We had this three week hail football camp.
I mean it was terrible, and uh he was gonna
be a starter anyway. He had another stick his finger
up on a table and smash it with a broom
handle so he didn't have to go through the three
weeks of camp. He knew to be fine by sea.
Speaker 11 (15:41):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Tuesday edition of Last One Standing again, your chance to
win more cn R on FSR prizes. Okay, Monzi, while
she did not win that compelling round of Summer Games trivia,
do you want to get to an update? Months?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
I need somebody to explain to me how this surfing
works at the Olympics, because there's actually a Costa Rican
female in the semi finals. Here she's taking on a
Brazilian girl and I see them going together catching different.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Waves, and I just want to know how, Like do
you just think it's a good wave?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
So I'm gonna give her extra points?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Like is it subjective? No, it's like you know in sprinting,
like you want a great start, everything has to go
perfect right, right, like you catching a great wave is
also part of it. You just have to catch That's
why that moment of that of that Uh was it
a Brazilian guy? The guy that the way to capture
that photo? Yes, he thought it was a perfect ten
moment because not only did he dominate the situation, he
(25:27):
also caught the perfect wave. It's like, how you're on
the wave and he got nine? Yeah, like Matza, you
know when we would go boogie boarding? Sure, sure, because
I think it is really the elements. You know, sometimes
you get lucky, sometimes you don't right right, because it's like.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
How do you know what kind of wave you're You're
you're hoping it's gonna be a good wave.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right, It's sort of there's a lot of luck involvement.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
There's a Tika in the semi finals. I don't know
if it's going well because I can't. I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I hope she wins it.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
I hope that Thika gets on too the next she's
in the semifinals right now against a Brazilian girl Hennessy,
but he saw is her name, so.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Hopefully she moves forward.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Other Olympic news, the volleyball excuse me, and men's volleyball
defeated Brazil in the quarterfinals match in four sets. They're
gonna face Poland on Wednesday in the semi finals. Women's
three on three basketball defeated Canada and won the bronze.
It was the final day for gymnastics. Simone Biles won
silver on the floor and Jordan Chiles won the bronze.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So that's eleven total medals for Biles.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
It ties her for second most all time by a
female gymnast. We are close to the official week one
of the NFL preseason. Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce says
that both Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew will play a
legit quarter at their preseason game on Saturday. Danny g
against the Vikings, but he's like, I don't know who's
gonna go first, who's gonna go second.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
They I can't tell you.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
One has stood out more than the other.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
They've both had.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Good moments, So the Raiders still don't know. Head coach
Sean Payne of the Broncos said he's gonna announce on
Wednesday the starters for their preseason opener on Sunday against
the Colts. Dimigo Ryan's, head coach of the Texans, said
the starters will play in Friday's preseason game.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Against its Burg.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
The Chiefs and star kicker Harrison Butker have agreed to
a four year, twenty five point six million dollar contract extension,
making him the highest paid kicker in the NFL and
tying him to the team through the twenty twenty eight season.
One last thing I'll tell you about the Olympics sis
guy Filipino gymnasts Carlos herie Ulo. He became the first
male Olympic gold medal medalist in the history of the Philippines.
(27:23):
What is he getting, Guys, let me tell you a
fully furnished two bedroom condo valued at twenty four million
Philippine pestoles, which is about four hundred and fifteen thousand US.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Dollars won the showcase show addition to another free house.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
What he's getting ten million in cash of Filipino money,
so it's one hundred and seventy three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
US and a meet and greet with Manny Pokina, No
karaoke night, Carrio three.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Million or Filipino pestoles again from the House of Representatives,
which is due to two thousand dollars US money, a
lifetime of free colonoscopies once he turns forty five.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
He's twenty four, I know, and that's important.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
One hundred thousand philippines worth, a free furniture, a lifetime
a free ramen, free buffets, her local establishment, and a
lifetime of free engineering designed by Nexa Engineering.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And the person's like, I don't know what this is,
but he's getting a new car. Geez, you know what
supply of moved to the Philippines and win a medal.
In my goodness, you're set your set. So that's what
that guy got. Way to go. That's awesome, I know.
Right back to you guys. Good for him. Graduate we
get what thirty seven thousand dollars for gold medals? Yeah,
(28:40):
thirty seven to five pay rent for a few months,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
And she brought up surfing. Do you remember that time,
because you know, I think when we right outd the
time we first met. Then you get a surfing accident
with that and you were holding a little tiki medallion. Yes, yeah,
I remember that. I had actually lost the surfing medallion yes,
I got into the into the accident. It's it's funny
you remember that when we were kids. I'm convinced that
the same five episodes of The Brady Bunch aired well.
(29:07):
You're not that far off because the way it worked is,
to my knowledge, they had the ratings of what episodes
tested well. That's why you always saw the same What's Happening,
the same Gilligan's Island, the same Brady Bunch, because people
like those specific episodes.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Remember the two part Grand Canyon times.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Did you see rerun recording the Dowie Brothers, Yeah, you
know what I mean, Like, it's because that tested well,
so they would play those over and over again, or
Gilligan's Island like crossover episode. So I guess you're so
not only not only did we have the replays or
the reruns, I should say, but they knew which ones
tested well. That's so true. So we actually did see
(29:48):
those like five six times a week probably, and we
were so patient, which was watching reruns. Huh yeah, it's
all you needed. Different. Well, Well, thank you bout anyas
also good show. Uh Now, I wanted to ask you
this out, Big Mic. I wanted to Big Mic with
the with the Panthers slides. Did you mean do you
mean beach mic? Beach beach mic with his panther slides.
(30:09):
He had panther slides yesterday. I want to like my
slides door, They're matched my for door and my watch
and my shirt. I wanted to take his panther slides
off his feet and slap him in the head. Hold on,
I think my feet are getting burnt. I'll be right back.
My toes are getting really red. You know, people do
(30:30):
neglect their feet when they put some screen, and that's
the burns the quick You don't want red feet. Yeah,
that's why he's been living around today. You're all sun burned, red,
sunburn on. So big Mike, who runs his place with
his burn totsies. I want to take one of his
panther slides and slap him over the head with it
because we we disagreed on something. A lot of a
(30:53):
lot of shows sports radio and TV. You're bringing up
this list of NFL players, theted who is the current
best player in the league, and Mike's trying to just
you know, argue with me, Well, the best player in
the league is not the most valuable, and I'm like,
I know, the little semantics like who's the best player
versus who's the most valuable? Right though, but I ask
(31:16):
you this, I'll post this question. Well, we'll fire out
some answers when we get back. If I were to say,
what one player do you think is the best in
the NFL, and you could say, well, Burston the most
valuable are different stories. I would find it hard to believe.
If you asked all thirty two gms and owners if
(31:37):
you could take one player right now and put them
on your team, everyone would say Patrick Mahomes. That wasn't
the question, though, What was the actual question? Who's the
best player in the NFL? Okay, well, those are two
different questions.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
That's a horse crowtre two different, specifically different questions, that's
what Mike was saying.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
So why doesn't he take his panthers slide off and
hit you over the head with this because those are
two different questions. Do you think that's a very different question? Well,
why would you have to pose the question differently if
the first one wasn't good enough? The answer quding is
there are any different questions? They answer according to the
NFL players when asked in that survey, and apparently from
what I understand too, there are a lot of locker
(32:17):
rooms that just had a bunch of crumpled up like
I'm not filling out this nonsense. So it's I don't
even know how accurate it is. Best player in the
NFL Tyree Hill and player you'd most want on your
team are two different questions.
Speaker 11 (32:31):
Next question.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
You think the answer, you think you're going to get
different answers In every sport. You know, who's the best
baseball player, Who's the most valuable baseball player?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Those are two different questions. Rich, they don't even have
Mahomes as number two.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Mahomes is number four, number four on this list. Yeah,
according to the players. So I ask you, and you're
going to say the number two answers, Well, it's two different,
two different questions. Do you think who's the best player.
I'm also trying to reemphasize what Mike was trying to
say here, and I do see what he was saying.
I'm saying, the best player in football is the you
know what the best playing football is is the one
(33:08):
that every GM and owner would salivate over if they
had a chance to get him. And there's a lot
of great players from the mccaffreys and Lamar Jackson's and
Trent Williams and TJ. Watts and Josh Allen's. But if
you asked every single GM and owner y'all, you could
pick a guy. You don't think all of them be
like Patrick Mahomes hands down. Doesn't that just answer the
(33:31):
question then? But maybe the players have more insight than
you like we think that as fans. We think that
based on his performance as well, but maybe they see
the the intangibles that maybe we don't. As fellow professional
NFL I would argue three of the last five Super
Bowls going to four out of five of them speaks
(33:52):
another story. But your thoughts, So think about this though,
if we already announced, well they said he was number
four on the list who came in for a second
and third over Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, I was gonna
let them think about it, you know, I mean I
mentioned I already said it. Lamar Jackson, Christian McCaffrey, your
thoughts Do you believe that best player is a different
(34:17):
conversation than most Valuable Player? I know they do it
every year at the end of the year when MVPs
are voted on. But if you were to say, who's
the best player in football?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I don't think it's I don't think it's up for question.
The answer is Patrick Mahomes changed my mind. Next at
covid on Rich the numbers eight, seven, seven, nine to
nine on foxhord Live from the Tyraq dot com studio.
(34:52):
This guy likes Taull Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio,
and we're live from a tirack dot com studio. Remember
a special edition, a Tuesday edition tomorrow of last one
Standing more prizes to give away. Who's taking hold of
the c in our gold tomorrow? Well we'll find out.
We're gonna take your phone calls on this Mahomes conversation.
(35:14):
But I want to just bring up two things. Sure.
Number One, sometimes you get how how young some of
these guys are that we root for. Anthony Edwards twenty
three years old today, twenty three, it's a baby. I
feel like he's I mean, I know he hasn't been
around for that long, but hey, partying with a ron
over the weekend. Anthony Edwards twenty three. And you know
(35:36):
we always glorify and applaud greatness in sports, how about
when it's the opposite what the Chicago White Sox are
doing right now. It's like disgustingly, Benny or twenty one,
now twenty and I just looked up. They're on pace
to be worse than the nineteen sixty two Mets. Yeah,
they're gross, that's bad. All the other worst teams are
like in the eighteen hundred, so it's hard to compare.
(35:57):
It's a different era to think that I'd have to
quit as a fan to think that they may win
less than forty games. What a nightmare? Right? How do
you turn that around? All right, let's go to your feedback.
There's that survey of who's the best player in the
NFL that the players did, and the fact that Mahomes
isn't number one is ludicrous. What don't you understand? Can
(36:20):
I please try to explain what I think the thought
process is. First of all, the players are always going
to have a different opinion, right in the fans, they're
asking the best players in the NFL. According to the
NFL players. When I think of Patrick Mahomes, his greatness
is undeniable, okay, and they recognize it and that's why
he's fourth. But all around football player, you can't see
(36:42):
how they're thinking. Tyreek Hill or Christian McCaffrey, in my opinion,
might be a number one, even though they had him
number three here, because he's an all around great football player,
like Patrick Mahomes is very specific, he's a great quarterback.
But Christian McCaffrey probably could do so many things on
the field where the other players are like, he's just undeniable,
(37:03):
Like he's just a football player. What Holmes a great athlete.
He's a great quarterback. We know his greatness.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Listen, you put you put McAffrey on a kyro, speed
is undeniable. The things that that guy could do. Mahomes
wishes he could do.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
But you put you put McCaffrey on a great team
like the Niners. You know, he's a game changer. He's
on the Panthers. You know, just say he's a great
player on a stinky team. Maybe that's where the thinking
comes from. You know, Tyreek Kill's on the Dolphins, and
we're not sure if the Dolphins are a borderline maybe
wildcard team, maybe they missed the postseason. Mahomes is the
type of guy that you could take if I said,
(37:39):
take a Garbaggio team in the NFL, put Matt Mahomes
on the team, I think their postseason team. There's not
a team in this league that I think wouldn't make
the postseason with Mahomes. Maybe the Patriots quarterbacks, very specific
you McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill. These dudes are blocking, they're catching,
they're running. Maybe there's all around in a football player's opinion, clearly,
(38:03):
and by the way, don't you think they know more
than you? Well, I just got to throw that out then, yeah, okay,
so it comes from somewhere. Rich Let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
If Lamar Jackson is already your quarterback or Josh Allen,
then who would you pick.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I think any of those gems would secretly be like
we want. Mahomes is a winning in tangible. The guy
is a winner. I think. I'm not disagreeing with you.
Give me Dinny's saying is probably where the thought process comes.
Think of the I love Mames, you know, think of
the lower tier teams in the NFL other than the Patriots,
because I did say that one. Can you think of
a team that you could confidently say even if they
(38:42):
had Mahomes they wouldn't make the postseason. I think every
other bottom feeder you'd be like, well, if you gave
the Cardinals Mahomes, and you know they do have Marvin
Harrison Junior in the ard, Well, if you gave the
Washington Commanders Mahomes say that so confidently when he has
so many weapons, he has a lot of wide receivers.
Of the Chiefs are ranked in the bottom third of
the league. They are not known for their wide receivers.
(39:03):
Yes he did. He never had elite wide receivers. He
had Travis Kelcey. But as I mean, all I'm saying
is that the fact that Mahomes isn't the go to
answer is wild to me. Greg, what about Tree? That
was not this past year? Greg in New York with
Someboddy what's going on?
Speaker 8 (39:22):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Heybody, they first off love the show.
Speaker 10 (39:28):
I would have to agree with Dan.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's like, if your quarterback is already a top five quarterback,
then Tyreek Hill is probably more valuable to you than
Patrick Mahomes. If you get what I'm saying. It's an argument.
I'm just thinking, Well, for Rich's argument, you can say, well,
who's more valuable than the quarterback? But that's not the question.
There's Rich ruining the question again. The question was the
(39:53):
best player in the NFL, not the most valuable player
in the NFL. Who is the best football player in
the NFL. You don't think Patrick Mahomes the best wubball player.
But you're posing two different questions and trying to angle
your answers. Mahmes, Mahomes may be the most valuable, you
could say, brock Perty, if you really want to get
into semantics, is the most valuable because he's based on value,
(40:14):
can't you?
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Guys both both agree that those two questions, though get
conflated like they in diagram, that they bleed over.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And I would argue they're not as different as you think,
because I think both the answers. I would say my
answer to both of those questions is Matt Patrick Mahomes.
I'm still waiting other than the Patriots, give me a
team that wouldn't make the postseason if you inserted Mahomes
on their team right now.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I wonder what the narrative would be rich if your
Niners hadn't lost the Super Bowl. And I say that
because they let that Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
So yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Because you guys, I mean all TV, just about all
TV and radio shows. We're pretty hard on Patrick Mahomes
out the gate last season, he was struggling a little
bit as well as the team.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Again, the reason we're even posing this question is because
the players voted and best player in the NFL, according
to the players, number one Tyreek Kill, followed by Lamar Jackson, McCaffrey,
and then Mahomes. Rich is saying, and we all agree.
I mean, Mahomes, who cares, He's he's great, we all
love him. But I'm trying to figure out where the
(41:16):
thought process came from. How could the players say that
is what Rich is saying when clearly Mahomes is number one. Yeah,
I know, you know what, I'll I'll die on this hill,
even though because broke my heart twice in the super athleticism, Like, yeah,
we all know Mahomes has undeniable athleticism. But maybe they're
just saying, yeah, but Lamar Jackson is even better, McCaffrey
(41:37):
is even better. Lamar Jackson hasn't won a big playoff
game in his life. Talking about football, players didn't say
who's the biggest winner in this They're saying all around,
who do you think is the best football player a
playoff game? But you keep changing the question I'll change it,
I'll change time. I answer the question if you keep
changing it, Well, receiver can't win a Super Bowl by himself,
(41:59):
rich act. Well, we'll see tomorrow, Rivendercci baby, see you

We gotta talk Gardner Minshew and relax because whatever we
(01:28):
don't get to we have a bonus podcast over promised
on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. We do it once
a week where we cram in all the stuff we
didn't get to. Now, Gardner Minshew When I say his name, even,
what's the first thing that comes to mind? Spark plug
yeah right, fire crack like wild cor wild guy. Yeah yeah.
(01:53):
Mustache is another Smar mustache hair the photo shoot even
with the Raiders, like that man headband.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, he's like the animal.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hey, guys, giuse umpets now, me like football, So I
really enjoy the vibe as we all do of Garner Minshew.
Now is a guy like that more fun? When he's
your backup that gets a chance and he lights it up,
That might be a little more fun. Then when you're like, oh,
he's our starter now, Oh, I think so. I don't
(02:23):
want to put him in a box. I don't like
when people put you in a box or me in
a box, right, But I do see him as that
guy when he's a guy got his character in his
makeup and his way of playing that seems to fit
that role very Ryan Fitzpatrick like, where, I don't know
if I want this guy to be my starter, yo,
But if he has to start four games and he
(02:43):
goes three to one and he brings some excitement, change
the tempo of the game, could change the outcome, get
people fired up. It's a big raw ra guy. Yeah,
it could change the whole feeling of what's going on
in the moment. You want that from your backup. But
when you're looking at a full seventeen plus game schedule
ahead of you and you're like, oh, with the Raiders
and he's like our QB one, I don't know if
(03:06):
it has the same Hey five, you're wrong, right right,
Like it's we all probably have a middle infielder that
you're like, oh, you know what, I like that guy's heart,
But do you want him batting third every single day? Probably? Not,
by the way, your best hitter. It's so obviously different
now that he's got a bat first or second. In
(03:27):
today's world, more at bats more at bats man. It's
crazy how much that's changed in the past ten years
of baseball, and not even five years where your superstar
players not batting third or fourth anymore. Yeah, So I
bring up Minshew for a reason. I saw a clip
of him. He talked to some of the guys Big
Cat and those dudes on barstool, and he told the story.
(03:50):
And my takeaway was that it's one of two things.
I'll let you decide before I give you my opinion.
Gardner Minshew talks about how he loves football so much
and he's so competitive. There came a point when he
tried to break his own hand. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
The only thing I could do would be to get
a medical red shirt. But if I played in this
next game, then that would be off the table. So
you know, I get an idea, get an idea. I
go home, I grab a bottle of Jack Daniels, and
I grab a hammer and go back into my room.
I take a pull of Jack Daniels, put my hand
(04:34):
down on the table and put one.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Two, three, hit the hell out of my hand. Dude,
I'm sitting there shaking, but I know it's not broke.
So I'm like, God, come on, take another pull, one, two,
three again, still nothing. I'm just shaking at this point. Man,
this is but I knew it wasn't broken. So one
more time, another pool, another three hits and that was
all I could take. I couldn't break my own hand.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Do you I see Manzi shaking her han. Is that
psycho behavior or are you like that's a baller right there?
Psycho behavior?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Because I think there are easier ways to break your hand,
my guy, Oh that's your thought.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, yeah, I think right that's what we could have done.
This a lot easier to break out jack. Maybe some tequila. Yeah,
and then can you run over my hand or something.
I just like tequila would have been a much better decision.
It would have been a much better decision. Better be real.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
It just seems like we could have broken your hand
in a much easier way.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's the psychotic part. The way he did it. Well again,
if you missed it, it was he needed to be medical,
have a medical red shirt excuse for one more I
guess year of eligibility. Yeah, so that was his last
living brain cell, and that was his idea. He's like,
I'll just break my own hand. Then, well, think about it.
You could say desperate and crazy. You could say what
(05:46):
a competitor that he's thinking. Yah, I played meaningless snaps
and if I have to fill in again, this counts
as a year of my college career. I can't have
that if I have bigger goals. So well, it's not
my throwing hand. Hey give me, do I take my
left hand. It's psycho. It's crazy. It's both, it's it's
(06:07):
you know. It shows his dedication to the game, but
it also exposes how crazy this. We talked recently about
that rugby olympian who cut their finger off so they
could keep playing. Yeh, that's Psycho. I'm going Psycho rich
if I, if I have two choices, we are Psycho
his finger off during a Super Bowl so he could
stay in the game. So I'm going Psycho. You can say, man,
(06:28):
that's great, that's what I want. That's the heart and
the kind of leader I want. No, I think you're
just a maniac. I would never do that. Now, I
remember I had a I don't know. I'm not comparing
the two let's make that. I remember I had a
you ever go to get a root canal or something,
they put a crown on your tooth, and that doesn't
fit right. They give you like a temporary crown, and
(06:48):
your bite is off. My bite was so off once
the swelling went down, and it was bothering me so hard.
I took a nail file. I was filing it down
on my own, and I remember Rich being like, you
know what, and I know it sounds terrible, but bro,
it was driving me so crazy and I couldn't get
It was like over the weekend or something like that,
so I couldn't get an appointment, and I was filing
(07:10):
down this this tooth of mine. But it was it
was a temporary crown. But I remember Rich saying how
I was a maniac for doing that. Everyone has a
different threshold of pain and what's okay, Well, I'm just
gonna keep that in mind, dental pain and if I
remember correctly, but dude, that bite was driving me crazy.
I gotta call you out with the whole story, yeah,
because you know I have to. I'm pretty sure it
(07:33):
was around the time where let's just say, maybe your
ex were spending a lot of money, and you were like,
you were like, have you had in La house or
New York house? You were going back and forth and
You're like you were like to save money, you had
a dental student do your work.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yeah, that's true. And I was a night You're like, dude,
what do you do? I was gripping onto that chair
so had That's probably what happened. That's probably why I
had such an off bite. So I'm trying to fix
it myself with a nail five. I remember seeing you know,
had a metal file in his mouth, and I'm like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He's like, no true story. Again, I'm not comparing him.
I'm just saying, sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.
Let me tell you, I look at this guy and say,
while while this is such crazy behavior, this is the
type of guy you want on your team. I forgot
a guy that's willing to do anything. We live in
(08:25):
a world where people question all the week ass reasons
guys sit out games and load management and all a
little tweak, a little bit, they're on the il garna minshew.
I promise you hearing that story, Danny, you'll, as a
Raiders fan, never questioned his heart not at all. I mean,
this is football. It does show you how tough he is.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I think a lot of Raider Nation is hoping that
they have rich Gannon two point zero because if you
think back to Gannon, he stuck his neck out to
get a first down. And when the Raiders were playing
the Cults in that very important game towards the end
of last season, both teams needed a win to try
to sneak into the playoffs. Raiders left it all out there.
(09:04):
Who wouldn't let them win that game? Minshew? He was
sticking his neck out left and right, and I remember
thinking to myself, Man, we need a dude like that,
and they got him, and I'm I'm convinced that that
performance got him that money, that thirty million from the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Man, well, listen, Gardner, Minshew, your thoughts right? Kind of
attitude or just psycho?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I mean trying to break your own hand with a hammer.
You ever watch those horror movies manse where like like
a saw where they're trapped and it's like never die.
It's like, would you be able to saw off your
own leg? I don't live.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
There's certain things I don't think I can do, like
the one where she has to go in where all
the needles.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Are, Like I'd be like, I'll just kill me. Yeah,
you know the sign off. Maybe I can solve my leg,
maybe liver die. But we buried a key inside your
eye socket? Well just kill I'm good.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
But this guy, think about the dedication. You're in college
drinking really a cell premise. I don't know if I
remember that one.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There was one, Yeah, like there's a key behind your arms,
key you have to dig out your eyeball. Gross? Yeah, no, good.
Think about it. You're in college drinking cheap PBRs in
Milwaukee's Best and hook it up with mediocre looking people,
you know, stumbling home from the bar with no jacket
on and the freezing winter cold. This guy's contemplating breaking
his hand for sports and eligibility. Yeah, that's craziness. Yeah again,
(10:24):
I'm sticking with my answer of psycho, you're you're your example.
But the bull was probably hooking up with a mediocre
look good girl because your buddy was with her friend.
Guy's going to break his hand. That was my version
of taking one for the team. Yeah, this guy was
imagine that, Imagine it really is like you said it. No,
disrespect to Gardner minshew, that is your last living brain cell, Like,
(10:44):
all right, let me get a hammer, sit back.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, No, you needed somebody else to do it, at
least not yourself. You're not going to hit yourself as
hard as you think.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You're Jim Carrey punching himself and liar, liar, She smashes
his face in a toilet seat. Yeah, it's so funny.
You guy's ever seen one hundred and twenty seven hours? No, yes,
uh I think it's.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
His name is Aaron Ralston who falls in that crevass
in Utah and then like a yeah rock lands weirdly
and like pins his arm in there and he has
to literally cut his own arm off to survive to
get out. Yeah, and that, remember it makes sense. But
what Gardner Minshew did? I just find that to be
like unnecessary torment.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And uh Manzi's right too. If you're gonna do that
and use your last living brain cell to make this happen,
you gotta let someone else smash your Yeah, like that
just seems so odd. Like to do it yourself, you
gotta just sit there with drives clothes, like all right.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Do it, go go.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I can't do that on your own. I don't I
don't want to bring up like a terribly gross topic
here on sports. He brought up my ex wife and
she spent money, So I was holding you back. I'm
just saying, like, if if you had to do something
to declay yourself ineligible for a sporting event or team
or organization, I don't know, would you be like would
(12:05):
you think of the least painful? Would be like, honey,
slam my door, but slam my hand in the door
of the car, maybe you break a finger or so like,
there's got to be a better answer than break out
the hammer Gardner Minshew? And then he did he like
is he right handed?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Left handed?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Like?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Which hand did he try to break? Did he is
not throwing handed his non throwing hand. You gotta ask
you what do you what would he? Would you see
a break out the hammer? Are you talking about Minshew?
Or that Olympic dude from the back office break out
the hammer? Talking about Anthony Amaratti? I'm not talking Okay, right, Uh,
let's say what's up to Terry in Mississippi? Terry Gardner,
(12:42):
Minshew psycho or.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Austin Gardner went to Brandon High School. I want to
Pupilow High School. Uh, missip be not that big a
state in population, It's less than three million. And he
had a reputation as this psycho man. That dude was
crazy and with all kinds of crazy shit and jack.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, you know what to hear what Terry said? Hit
the podcast, check the podcast. Can't say that on the radio.
Theory he's podcast unfiltered, Yeah, unfiltered podcast on Fox Sports Radio.
Just check Covino and Rich. But he does bring up
a good point of of Again, some people are just
made of a of a different cloth, like like the
(13:25):
jackass idiots, you know, like that we grew up with.
Did you hear what Steve Ho's latest stunted? Know what
I'm saying if you ask a guy who's cut from
that cloth or that makeup who clearly Gardner Minshew seems
to be like asking him to do something crazy like
that isn't isn't out of question the way it would
be for someone like you and me. No, these are
(13:46):
people to get like weird tattoos for people that like,
oh a few broken bones that you know, these guys
get that on a weekend. Dumb yeah, staple my junk,
what like you know the latest thing Steve O did.
This is a this is a stunt he's doing you
because you're thinking in twenty twenty four, how do I
know he got these guys pushing on unit tattooed on
his face. No, no, I saw that. I was in
(14:07):
the past even more so you know what the next thing?
They have to push the envelope so far to shock
anyone in twenty twenty four. Yeah, but apparently Steve O
is getting breast in plants. Are you serious? And it's
gonna be for a bit and then it's like I'll
get him removed in another.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Point and he's sober up, he's still doing these things
even being sober.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
He's on drugs. Understand where your mind goes. He said,
I always want to know who would be like to
feel so Steve, Oh, that's so he has brain cells
none left. But my point is, if you're cut from
that cloth, you're open to more. You're open to, you know, things,
things that a normal person wouldn't you like. If you're better,
you're minshe's crazier than the average guy likes im proving it.
(14:49):

it's like loser of fantasy football, we get to pick
your tattoo. I don't roll back. Yeah, I don't play

in high school. We had this three week hail football camp.
I mean it was terrible, and uh he was gonna
be a starter anyway. He had another stick his finger
up on a table and smash it with a broom
handle so he didn't have to go through the three
weeks of camp. He knew to be fine by sea.

I need somebody to explain to me how this surfing
works at the Olympics, because there's actually a Costa Rican
female in the semi finals. Here she's taking on a
Brazilian girl and I see them going together catching different.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Waves, and I just want to know how, Like do
you just think it's a good wave?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
So I'm gonna give her extra points?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Like is it subjective? No, it's like you know in sprinting,
like you want a great start, everything has to go
perfect right, right, like you catching a great wave is
also part of it. You just have to catch That's
why that moment of that of that Uh was it
a Brazilian guy? The guy that the way to capture
that photo? Yes, he thought it was a perfect ten
moment because not only did he dominate the situation, he
(25:27):
also caught the perfect wave. It's like, how you're on
the wave and he got nine? Yeah, like Matza, you
know when we would go boogie boarding? Sure, sure, because
I think it is really the elements. You know, sometimes
you get lucky, sometimes you don't right right, because it's like.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
How do you know what kind of wave you're You're
you're hoping it's gonna be a good wave.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right, It's sort of there's a lot of luck involvement.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
There's a Tika in the semi finals. I don't know
if it's going well because I can't. I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I hope she wins it.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
I hope that Thika gets on too the next she's
in the semifinals right now against a Brazilian girl Hennessy,
but he saw is her name, so.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Hopefully she moves forward.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Other Olympic news, the volleyball excuse me, and men's volleyball
defeated Brazil in the quarterfinals match in four sets. They're
gonna face Poland on Wednesday in the semi finals. Women's
three on three basketball defeated Canada and won the bronze.
It was the final day for gymnastics. Simone Biles won
silver on the floor and Jordan Chiles won the bronze.

So that's eleven total medals for Biles.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
It ties her for second most all time by a
female gymnast. We are close to the official week one
of the NFL preseason. Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce says
that both Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew will play a
legit quarter at their preseason game on Saturday. Danny g
against the Vikings, but he's like, I don't know who's
gonna go first, who's gonna go second.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
They I can't tell you.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
One has stood out more than the other.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
They've both had.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Good moments, So the Raiders still don't know. Head coach
Sean Payne of the Broncos said he's gonna announce on
Wednesday the starters for their preseason opener on Sunday against
the Colts. Dimigo Ryan's, head coach of the Texans, said
the starters will play in Friday's preseason game.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Against its Burg.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
The Chiefs and star kicker Harrison Butker have agreed to
a four year, twenty five point six million dollar contract extension,
making him the highest paid kicker in the NFL and
tying him to the team through the twenty twenty eight season.
One last thing I'll tell you about the Olympics sis
guy Filipino gymnasts Carlos herie Ulo. He became the first
male Olympic gold medal medalist in the history of the Philippines.
(27:23):
What is he getting, Guys, let me tell you a
fully furnished two bedroom condo valued at twenty four million
Philippine pestoles, which is about four hundred and fifteen thousand US.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Dollars won the showcase show addition to another free house.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
What he's getting ten million in cash of Filipino money,
so it's one hundred and seventy three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
US and a meet and greet with Manny Pokina, No
karaoke night, Carrio three.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Million or Filipino pestoles again from the House of Representatives,
which is due to two thousand dollars US money, a
lifetime of free colonoscopies once he turns forty five.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
He's twenty four, I know, and that's important.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
One hundred thousand philippines worth, a free furniture, a lifetime
a free ramen, free buffets, her local establishment, and a
lifetime of free engineering designed by Nexa Engineering.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And the person's like, I don't know what this is,
but he's getting a new car. Geez, you know what
supply of moved to the Philippines and win a medal.
In my goodness, you're set your set. So that's what
that guy got. Way to go. That's awesome, I know.
Right back to you guys. Good for him. Graduate we
get what thirty seven thousand dollars for gold medals? Yeah,
(28:40):
thirty seven to five pay rent for a few months,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
And she brought up surfing. Do you remember that time,
because you know, I think when we right outd the
time we first met. Then you get a surfing accident
with that and you were holding a little tiki medallion. Yes, yeah,
I remember that. I had actually lost the surfing medallion yes,
I got into the into the accident. It's it's funny
you remember that when we were kids. I'm convinced that
the same five episodes of The Brady Bunch aired well.
(29:07):
You're not that far off because the way it worked is,
to my knowledge, they had the ratings of what episodes
tested well. That's why you always saw the same What's Happening,
the same Gilligan's Island, the same Brady Bunch, because people
like those specific episodes.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Remember the two part Grand Canyon times.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Did you see rerun recording the Dowie Brothers, Yeah, you
know what I mean, Like, it's because that tested well,
so they would play those over and over again, or
Gilligan's Island like crossover episode. So I guess you're so
not only not only did we have the replays or
the reruns, I should say, but they knew which ones
tested well. That's so true. So we actually did see
(29:48):
those like five six times a week probably, and we
were so patient, which was watching reruns. Huh yeah, it's
all you needed. Different. Well, Well, thank you bout anyas
also good show. Uh Now, I wanted to ask you
this out, Big Mic. I wanted to Big Mic with
the with the Panthers slides. Did you mean do you
mean beach mic? Beach beach mic with his panther slides.
(30:09):
He had panther slides yesterday. I want to like my
slides door, They're matched my for door and my watch
and my shirt. I wanted to take his panther slides
off his feet and slap him in the head. Hold on,
I think my feet are getting burnt. I'll be right back.
My toes are getting really red. You know, people do
(30:30):
neglect their feet when they put some screen, and that's
the burns the quick You don't want red feet. Yeah,
that's why he's been living around today. You're all sun burned, red,
sunburn on. So big Mike, who runs his place with
his burn totsies. I want to take one of his
panther slides and slap him over the head with it
because we we disagreed on something. A lot of a
(30:53):
lot of shows sports radio and TV. You're bringing up
this list of NFL players, theted who is the current
best player in the league, and Mike's trying to just
you know, argue with me, Well, the best player in
the league is not the most valuable, and I'm like,
I know, the little semantics like who's the best player
versus who's the most valuable? Right though, but I ask
(31:16):
you this, I'll post this question. Well, we'll fire out
some answers when we get back. If I were to say,
what one player do you think is the best in
the NFL, and you could say, well, Burston the most
valuable are different stories. I would find it hard to believe.
If you asked all thirty two gms and owners if
(31:37):
you could take one player right now and put them
on your team, everyone would say Patrick Mahomes. That wasn't
the question, though, What was the actual question? Who's the
best player in the NFL? Okay, well, those are two
different questions.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
That's a horse crowtre two different, specifically different questions, that's
what Mike was saying.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
So why doesn't he take his panthers slide off and
hit you over the head with this because those are
two different questions. Do you think that's a very different question? Well,
why would you have to pose the question differently if
the first one wasn't good enough? The answer quding is
there are any different questions? They answer according to the
NFL players when asked in that survey, and apparently from
what I understand too, there are a lot of locker
(32:17):
rooms that just had a bunch of crumpled up like
I'm not filling out this nonsense. So it's I don't
even know how accurate it is. Best player in the
NFL Tyree Hill and player you'd most want on your
team are two different questions.
Speaker 11 (32:31):
Next question.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
You think the answer, you think you're going to get
different answers In every sport. You know, who's the best
baseball player, Who's the most valuable baseball player?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Those are two different questions. Rich, they don't even have
Mahomes as number two.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Mahomes is number four, number four on this list. Yeah,
according to the players. So I ask you, and you're
going to say the number two answers, Well, it's two different,
two different questions. Do you think who's the best player.
I'm also trying to reemphasize what Mike was trying to
say here, and I do see what he was saying.
I'm saying, the best player in football is the you
know what the best playing football is is the one
(33:08):
that every GM and owner would salivate over if they
had a chance to get him. And there's a lot
of great players from the mccaffreys and Lamar Jackson's and
Trent Williams and TJ. Watts and Josh Allen's. But if
you asked every single GM and owner y'all, you could
pick a guy. You don't think all of them be
like Patrick Mahomes hands down. Doesn't that just answer the
(33:31):
question then? But maybe the players have more insight than
you like we think that as fans. We think that
based on his performance as well, but maybe they see
the the intangibles that maybe we don't. As fellow professional
NFL I would argue three of the last five Super
Bowls going to four out of five of them speaks
(33:52):
another story. But your thoughts, So think about this though,
if we already announced, well they said he was number
four on the list who came in for a second
and third over Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, I was gonna
let them think about it, you know, I mean I
mentioned I already said it. Lamar Jackson, Christian McCaffrey, your
thoughts Do you believe that best player is a different
(34:17):
conversation than most Valuable Player? I know they do it
every year at the end of the year when MVPs
are voted on. But if you were to say, who's
the best player in football?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I don't think it's I don't think it's up for question.
The answer is Patrick Mahomes changed my mind. Next at
covid on Rich the numbers eight, seven, seven, nine to
nine on foxhord Live from the Tyraq dot com studio.
(34:52):
This guy likes Taull Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio,
and we're live from a tirack dot com studio. Remember
a special edition, a Tuesday edition tomorrow of last one
Standing more prizes to give away. Who's taking hold of
the c in our gold tomorrow? Well we'll find out.
We're gonna take your phone calls on this Mahomes conversation.
(35:14):
But I want to just bring up two things. Sure.
Number One, sometimes you get how how young some of
these guys are that we root for. Anthony Edwards twenty
three years old today, twenty three, it's a baby. I
feel like he's I mean, I know he hasn't been
around for that long, but hey, partying with a ron
over the weekend. Anthony Edwards twenty three. And you know
(35:36):
we always glorify and applaud greatness in sports, how about
when it's the opposite what the Chicago White Sox are
doing right now. It's like disgustingly, Benny or twenty one,
now twenty and I just looked up. They're on pace
to be worse than the nineteen sixty two Mets. Yeah,
they're gross, that's bad. All the other worst teams are
like in the eighteen hundred, so it's hard to compare.
(35:57):
It's a different era to think that I'd have to
quit as a fan to think that they may win
less than forty games. What a nightmare? Right? How do
you turn that around? All right, let's go to your feedback.
There's that survey of who's the best player in the
NFL that the players did, and the fact that Mahomes
isn't number one is ludicrous. What don't you understand? Can
(36:20):
I please try to explain what I think the thought
process is. First of all, the players are always going
to have a different opinion, right in the fans, they're
asking the best players in the NFL. According to the
NFL players. When I think of Patrick Mahomes, his greatness
is undeniable, okay, and they recognize it and that's why
he's fourth. But all around football player, you can't see
(36:42):
how they're thinking. Tyreek Hill or Christian McCaffrey, in my opinion,
might be a number one, even though they had him
number three here, because he's an all around great football player,
like Patrick Mahomes is very specific, he's a great quarterback.
But Christian McCaffrey probably could do so many things on
the field where the other players are like, he's just undeniable,
(37:03):
Like he's just a football player. What Holmes a great athlete.
He's a great quarterback. We know his greatness.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Listen, you put you put McAffrey on a kyro, speed
is undeniable. The things that that guy could do. Mahomes
wishes he could do.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
But you put you put McCaffrey on a great team
like the Niners. You know, he's a game changer. He's
on the Panthers. You know, just say he's a great
player on a stinky team. Maybe that's where the thinking
comes from. You know, Tyreek Kill's on the Dolphins, and
we're not sure if the Dolphins are a borderline maybe
wildcard team, maybe they missed the postseason. Mahomes is the
type of guy that you could take if I said,
(37:39):
take a Garbaggio team in the NFL, put Matt Mahomes
on the team, I think their postseason team. There's not
a team in this league that I think wouldn't make
the postseason with Mahomes. Maybe the Patriots quarterbacks, very specific
you McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill. These dudes are blocking, they're catching,
they're running. Maybe there's all around in a football player's opinion, clearly,
(38:03):
and by the way, don't you think they know more
than you? Well, I just got to throw that out then, yeah, okay,
so it comes from somewhere. Rich Let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
If Lamar Jackson is already your quarterback or Josh Allen,
then who would you pick.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I think any of those gems would secretly be like
we want. Mahomes is a winning in tangible. The guy
is a winner. I think. I'm not disagreeing with you.
Give me Dinny's saying is probably where the thought process comes.
Think of the I love Mames, you know, think of
the lower tier teams in the NFL other than the Patriots,
because I did say that one. Can you think of
a team that you could confidently say even if they
(38:42):
had Mahomes they wouldn't make the postseason. I think every
other bottom feeder you'd be like, well, if you gave
the Cardinals Mahomes, and you know they do have Marvin
Harrison Junior in the ard, Well, if you gave the
Washington Commanders Mahomes say that so confidently when he has
so many weapons, he has a lot of wide receivers.
Of the Chiefs are ranked in the bottom third of
the league. They are not known for their wide receivers.
(39:03):
Yes he did. He never had elite wide receivers. He
had Travis Kelcey. But as I mean, all I'm saying
is that the fact that Mahomes isn't the go to
answer is wild to me. Greg, what about Tree? That
was not this past year? Greg in New York with
Someboddy what's going on?
Speaker 8 (39:22):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Heybody, they first off love the show.
Speaker 10 (39:28):
I would have to agree with Dan.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's like, if your quarterback is already a top five quarterback,
then Tyreek Hill is probably more valuable to you than
Patrick Mahomes. If you get what I'm saying. It's an argument.
I'm just thinking, Well, for Rich's argument, you can say, well,
who's more valuable than the quarterback? But that's not the question.
There's Rich ruining the question again. The question was the
(39:53):
best player in the NFL, not the most valuable player
in the NFL. Who is the best football player in
the NFL. You don't think Patrick Mahomes the best wubball player.
But you're posing two different questions and trying to angle
your answers. Mahmes, Mahomes may be the most valuable, you
could say, brock Perty, if you really want to get
into semantics, is the most valuable because he's based on value,
(40:14):
can't you?
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Guys both both agree that those two questions, though get
conflated like they in diagram, that they bleed over.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And I would argue they're not as different as you think,
because I think both the answers. I would say my
answer to both of those questions is Matt Patrick Mahomes.
I'm still waiting other than the Patriots, give me a
team that wouldn't make the postseason if you inserted Mahomes
on their team right now.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I wonder what the narrative would be rich if your
Niners hadn't lost the Super Bowl. And I say that
because they let that Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
So yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Because you guys, I mean all TV, just about all
TV and radio shows. We're pretty hard on Patrick Mahomes
out the gate last season, he was struggling a little
bit as well as the team.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Again, the reason we're even posing this question is because
the players voted and best player in the NFL, according
to the players, number one Tyreek Kill, followed by Lamar Jackson, McCaffrey,
and then Mahomes. Rich is saying, and we all agree.
I mean, Mahomes, who cares, He's he's great, we all
love him. But I'm trying to figure out where the
(41:16):
thought process came from. How could the players say that
is what Rich is saying when clearly Mahomes is number one. Yeah,
I know, you know what, I'll I'll die on this hill,
even though because broke my heart twice in the super athleticism, Like, yeah,
we all know Mahomes has undeniable athleticism. But maybe they're
just saying, yeah, but Lamar Jackson is even better, McCaffrey
(41:37):
is even better. Lamar Jackson hasn't won a big playoff
game in his life. Talking about football, players didn't say
who's the biggest winner in this They're saying all around,
who do you think is the best football player a
playoff game? But you keep changing the question I'll change it,
I'll change time. I answer the question if you keep
changing it, Well, receiver can't win a Super Bowl by himself,
(41:59):
rich act. Well, we'll see tomorrow, Rivendercci baby, see you
in the Promised Life.
