I hope our Tuesday is better? Is it going to
be better for the White Sox. We'll get to that.
Plus we got to talk about people you want to

(01:30):
punch in the face. Oh, I feel like I'm looking
at one right perfect, I see too. Yeah, so start
thinking about We'll get to all that. And by the way,
Monday nights are mostly trash if it's not football season,
because you automatically have even if it's a garbage game,
you at least have Monday Night football, right, Speaking of
punching people in the face, I want to punch myself

(01:50):
in the face on a Monday night when I'm sitting
there watching a bachelorette. I'm like that life has to be.
But I don't know. I don't blame you, though, and
I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why because Monday
is like Thursday. Monday and Thursday. If you're a baseball fan,
you know those are the days your team is likely
to have a day off. And the Yankees were off
for you. So there's no baseball on a Monday, which
is the day most teams have off unless it's a
four game set, So no baseball, no football. Yet I

(02:13):
don't blame me for watching The Bachelorette.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well that show stinks. Now it's not even good trash TV.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, sometimes it's good, but nine times out of ten
it's stinks. Do you think aless it's luster because of
the Netflix shows are all like not rated network It's
why I can't watch sitcom shows well that rich.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
And it's the same thing every time, where the t's
and the promo is, oh, I can't do this anymore,
and the contestant is crying he's gonna walk off the
show or she's gonna walk off the show. It's always
the same thing, and I can't. I can't do this.
It can't be in love with two people at the
same time. You know what the show is, you knew
what you were getting into.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
To sensitized Again, we have Netflix and HBO Max streaming
shows that are better than what you on network TV.
So you're bored by that. You have trashy dating shows
on these streaming networks, on these streaming apps that are
better than what you're getting on ABC. I'm saying like
if you have too hot to handle where they can't
keep it in their pants and they're saying, god knows
what I mean. Does the Bachelor have the same pizaz?

(03:17):
It's like watching Hard Knocks and Receiver and you see
the uncensored side of these NFL guys. Would you want
to watch like a CBS, Fox or ABC or you know,
NBC censored version of that. No, lots of people bored
in the bedroom because they're used to what they're seeing
on the hub. You know what I mean, Like you
become the sensitive. I want you to do that. What

(03:38):
So anyway, I had a boring Monday, so I'm really
pumped about this Tuesday. Pump for the show, Pump for
Last Ones Standing? We have games to play? Is the
greatest game, Last one Standing? Giving away prizes here on
the show Cavino and Rich and if you want to
play along at home in the meantime everything at Covino
and Rich. Can I give you one last pep peeve

(03:59):
about reality dating shows. Sure, there's one line that guys
say and women say it on the show too, But
when everyone says like ob scared to open up to
get hurt. It's like, stop being a bee like that's
I find that to be nonsense. Ob scared to open up?
What type of weenie are you? I've watch have been

(04:20):
hurt before. It could be a grown man. Stop being
a little okay. I don't know why it bothers me
so much. It's like we've all been hurt. Right, you've
been dumped? Your girl? Are you? She ended up? Come on,
you gotta people haven't processed their trump. You gotta big floppy,
no crying, fronted your traumas. No crying in sports or
baseball or dating. Hey, you've been dumped. I've been dumped,

(04:43):
Danny even dumped. I've been dumped every time. Danny, you've
been dumped. I've done the dumping. We've all been dumbed.
I was saying, you've been dumped, of course. Yeah. Would
you go on a reality show and be like ob
scared the open up period? Why are you mocking men's
mental health? You know men are to have emotions and
be emotional and deal with their traumas. No, don't you
see Instagram videos. Men are supposed to keep it bottled inside.

(05:06):
I've always said mental health as well, so I cry now,
speaking of crying, Like I said, we will talk white
socks in its few minutes, but let's talk NFL to
get it going. It's when keeping it real goes wrong,
as Dave Chappelle said, or as Chris Rocks. It's Chris Rock, dude, No, no,

(05:27):
no goes wrong. So he did. Chris Rock said. People
love to keep it real, real, stupid, real, dumb, real dumb.
I want to call this segment that we're starting today's
show with keeping it real, real, real dumb. And I

(05:50):
want to talk about the expectations of fans. Now, Danny,
we're fresh off a beautiful birthday, part of your kid.
You're one of our best buds, but you might fall
in the skin. I'm sorry. When fans enter a season,
do you want them to be unrealistically excited about their team?
Do you want them to be well, man, well you

(06:12):
know we're gonna lose. But isn't that what do you
want it to be? Realistically? And is short for fanatical? Right? Fanatic?
Isn't that what fans do? They root with blind faith,
They have faith in their team. So faith is I
have a belief, even if it's delusional to you, I
believe that we can win. You gotta keep the faith,
Billy joelstyle. You got to put up your belief sign

(06:34):
like your ted Lasso. What Rich is saying is every
year there's either a fan group of fans or an
organization that is the most delusional. They're super loud, and
they're super proud about their team. Oh they're gonna turn
it around this year. They might go all the way.
And you hear your buddy or the team or the

(06:54):
GM talking on TV and you're like, are they for real?
Do they really believe this or are they just saying
the right things. I'm not going to really pick on
Danny Gas as a team I'm calling out in the
NFL because.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
You were talking about the Raiders. But I think I've
been pretty realistic Mile Like yeah, Like, I like, well,
what did I say last season? USA Today had him
at three wins and I said, no, it's going.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
To be more like eight. Yeah, they finished eight nine,
So I was realistic. I'm rooting for them for your sake,
but I don't think they're playoff teams. So we're like, well,
maybe the little Raiders. It's like me with the Mets.
I get delusional and I'll admit it. There are times
where I'm like, you know, you just gotta make the
postseason and you know they got Lindor Alonso and Nimo,
And is there at fan base that's the most delusional
where it's like, all right, dude, you're the the fan

(07:40):
who cried super you know what. That's immediately Danny g
Who comes to mind, because you know what, the fans
are the loudest and most obnoxious, and they're always good,
but they always fall short. And the fans, I think
are just always with the belief of this is their years.
And I think Stephen A with the cigar and the
cowboy hat, added five mil to his contract just based

(08:02):
on his leaning into the anti cowboy vibe. I think
that would be the number one universal answer.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Though I do feel like this is the one off
season where Cowboy fans have come down to earth. In fact, yes,
training camp in ox and Ar, California, where we were
this past weekend not empty, but well on Saturday, two
Saturdays ago, they had their biggest attendance, but then the
following day, Sunday is usually pack crowded, and it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
It was light.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
So they've they've been low on their attendants there, and
the articles online are asking the question, is it because
Cowboy fans are fed up with Jerry Jones not adding
the ingredients they needed?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
This offseasons because everyone was at your party on Sunday,
That's why West Coast vatos are an oxidized. No, I
you know what, In fact, I thought that Donald Trump
said that's a lie. The crowds were huge. No again, yeah,
that could be like did you see speaking of Donald Trump?
It's it's actually a really funny picture, Like there's a

(09:05):
lot of photos like, look, no one even showed up
to see Kid Rock perform and photos like that show
up or look no one showed up for Trump or anybody,
but sometimes sound check it was That's exactly what it was.
So the pictures that are floating out and are going
viral about the Cowboys, maybe it is something we don't know,

(09:26):
but from what I'm hearing, rich the fans are coming
down to reality and they're trying to let it be
known because every year they're like, we're going all the way.
This is the year, man, this is it. So we
ask you keeping it real or keeping it real? Dumb? Well,
which which fans, which organization are the most delusional are
the worst at this. I'm calling them out ahead. It's

(09:47):
not the Cowboys. They have quote curb their enthusiasm a
little bit maybe so far this show, but I think
Cowboy fans are like, yeah, we'll make the postseason and
if Dak and Ceedee Lamb and I saw some ridiculous
stat that outside of CD Lamb, their second receiver has

(10:07):
like less than a thousand yards fewer than CD Lamb.
Like that team operates on Dak and CD Lamb. Like
you gotta hope they're healthy. Maybe they're one of those
fall off the playoff radar team. So you're right, I
think the fans aren't obnoxious this year. In the same breath,
you know what you're saying too, though, You're saying that
they have passionate fans that always believe. So on the

(10:30):
flip side of this, you could say they're delusional. You
can say they're really passionate and good for them. That's
a thin line. I love it, like a good fan
base there that supports their team. There's a thin line
between like, oh, it's I love your enthusiasm versus reality,
Like I'll have that like ugly friend that's like, yeah, tonight,
we're gonna get some girls, and you like, you're never
getting girls. But I like your enthusias I like your confidence. Yeah, dude,

(10:52):
we're gonna slay tonight. We're gonna beat some potties. No
you're not. You're gonna end up by yourself at your home,
you know, with the door locked. It's really rude, rich,
but I understand what you mean. I want to call
out a fan base, and it's a big fan base,
So my apologies to the Chicago Bears. I get it.
That's this year's number one. Vegas has you at eight

(11:13):
and a half wins. That's you know, Vegas pretty much
has you. As you're a five hundred team. You can't
go eight and a half and eight and a half.
But it's all Caleb Williams. It's all Caleb Williams height.
But we're talking about Vegas has them exactly at five hundred,
where if you have to pick over under you're picking
are they slightly better or worse than five hundred? And
I get it. They really fans are super pumped. That's

(11:35):
really what it comes down to. They really tweaked that team.
Besides Williams, they had a great draft. They had a
great draft. They acquired some big names. The now you
know the GM and coach, it's sort of their team
now what they're putting together. But you got to remember,
I'm going to name a bunch of people who are

(11:59):
pretty awesome that had awful first seasons. Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman,
Brett Favre. I saw this, Adam Vin Terry his terrible
first year kicking ended up being one of the best ever.
Steve Young is a buccaneer, Terry Bradshaw awful his first year.
And right now the Bears are plus four thousand in

(12:19):
Vegas to win the Super Bowl for the non gambler.
That's bet one hundred, win four grand. There's just belief
that CJ. Stroud is the savior, and you're forgetting that
division and every fans defense, in every organization's defense. One
of these years, one of these years is the year

(12:39):
they turn it around. Right, So that's what you're really
hoping for, and that's the beauty of the offseason. It's like, Yo,
this could be the year Clean Slate, let's go. I'm
rooting for him. But c J. Stroud was the outlier
last year. You know what's more, likely, Bryce Young, You're right, though,
the loudest and most passionate offseason fans you could delusional.

(13:01):
You could say, when keeping it real goes wrong is
the Bears. And while I'm you know, busting their chops
a little, I will say it's a great football city,
great stadium, legendary team. So it is a cool sentiment
to think football is probably better when the Bears are good.
Right by the way, Rich, I mean, have you seen

(13:23):
the White Sox? And maybe it's just like our baseball
team stinks so bad, we might as well just dive
full full force in the football. Cubbies are on there
on the outside looking him. Bulls ain't blowing up anyone's skirts,
so you know, maybe it's a matter of that too.
It's like a perfect storm of Yo, we need something,

(13:44):
and you know what, I'm rooting for it to be competitive.
But by the way, who's really the sausage King? Is
it Abe Frohman or Frank Thomas because he's always talking
about how the ladies love it too. Anybody know? Let
me know, I heard it was Andre Dawson, the real sauceage. Hey,
he comes out of the ivy and he's like it's me,

(14:06):
you know, I want to hear for some for some
Bears fans eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox chime
in because I'm I'm not rooting against you. Let it
be clear. I'm just saying keep it real, because I
was really saying though, it's very condescending, because they do
have a belief that this could be it pretty much.
You're you're saying, really now you really think, do you

(14:32):
really think the Bears are going all the way? Well,
be realistic. Look at the division Buddy boy Jordan Love
just got you know, his sick contract. That team in
the second half of the season was as hot as anyone.
There were a couple they were like a mistake away
from beating the forty nine ers in Santa Clara. They
beat the Lions. They almost what is it they they

(14:56):
they just had they had a great run at the
end of the year. I'm confusing them division stack. But
then you look and you say, well, then there's the
Lions who were beating the forty nine ers twenty four
to seven at half those high hopes for the Green
Bay Packers, and you might want to throw the Packers
into this conversation, too, rich. There are a lot of hype,
a lot of expectations, a lot of excitement. Danny G.
You think they're gonna use your former player Josh Jacobs

(15:18):
effectively in the Green Bay until he gets hurt. You
could say the NFC North in itsself could be the
biggest culprits of all. Right, guys, keep it red. Maybe
they beat each other up and they're all like ten
and seven, nine and eight, eight and nine, seven and ten.
Because then you're saying that might be the most delusional
division is Minnesota then the bottom feeder, because there's people

(15:40):
that say, well, not so fast man, justin Jefferson. Hell
got some quarterback question marks, right, So Sam Darnold may
may be that guy that shows you know he's got
the juice with a team and a coach, right. JJ
McCarthy and the Wings. I don't know what says you.
Fox Sports Radio Nation, we gave you our answers. Who

(16:02):
are the most delusional fans this offseason so far? The
Cowboys of twenty two, the Cowboys fans of twenty twenty four.
Can I give you the quick little, a quick little
rundown of maybe the first six weeks. I think of
the Bear schedule and when it has the high hopes
and seems to be the most delusion. Here's where, here's where, Like,

(16:23):
I don't even like my own conversation. Even though we're
having fun. We haven't seen Kayleb william take a snap.
Take a snap in the NFL. That applies to you,
but it also applies to people who are thinking hopes
going all the way. You haven't seen anything. So let's
take a look at the regular season. Let's just do
weeks one through six, which is a third of the

(16:43):
year essentially. Okay, they're playing at home against the Titans
week one. The Bears are already the line is already out.
They're four and a half point favorite. So I want
to give the Bears opening game. They'd be one. And
then they go to Houston and they play CJ. Stroud
on that team in Texas. Ooh, that's a tough one.

(17:04):
I'll say one and one. Why not? Then they go
to Indy to play Anthony Richardson, totally healthy, with a
pretty decent team around them, a great running back, healthy Richardson.
That's away again. Yeah on the road, man, I don't
know what do you think about that one? Let's give
it to him, all right? Two and one, two and one. Yeah,

(17:25):
but I'm saying, see, I'm even being generous right now.
You go back to Chicago, but you play the Rams
Matthew Stafford and a team that made the postseason last year.
I want to just call it two and two after
those four games. That again being generous, So two and two.
Then they play the Panthers. Sorry, big Mike. Who three
and two, Big Mike? He was wearing Panthers slides over

(17:46):
the weekend. Remember three and two. And then you go
to London, where they have to travel where. I know
this might not be a big deal to you, but
Trevor Lawrence has done it a few times ready. Jacksonville
seems to be always in London. They play the Jacks.
That could be an l I think they're a five
hundred team. I mean that might even be generous, A
five hundred team if you want to be generous there. Yeah,

(18:08):
that's tough. Those are all pretty evenly matched. Tough games
for the Bears. And again I'm projecting a schedule without
seeing Kayleb Williams take a snap in the National Football League.
But even if you keep going two games by two games,
they're all splits. Let's just keep up for fun. And
what we're saying is it seems like the fans are
the most passionate this offseason, super hyped, as they should be.
It's a new start, it's a new chapter. I get it.

(18:30):
But again that's what poses the question, which fans are
the most delusional? Are you keeping it real? I know, Danny,
you're high on the Commanders this year. Yeah, big time.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
I love Jaden Daniels and their new leadership and their
new head coach Dan Quinn, Yes, sir, in their new ownership.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
So they go to Washington, You're gonna throw an l there.
But then they go to Arizona. I'll give them a
w Now they're four and four. They played the Patriots
five and four. They play the Packers five and five.
This team reeks of five hundred football unless what less?
Caleb Williams is everything you think he's supposed to be

(19:07):
in the NFL in his first season. What if every
Bears fan just falls in love and it's like dream
that you know what, you know what they need to do,
and they're probably a banana peel away from doing it.
They need to do a new Super Bowl shuffle, because
you know what happens when you do that? Oh you win?
My name moves kleb No, God, think take yourself back
to eighty five though, right. You know how confident you

(19:30):
gotta be to just make a Super Bowl shuffle and
then win the Super Bowl, Like, you gotta really believe
in your team. If they're that component, I think that works.
If they're that confident, they had to come out with
a new saxophone player, a whole new get up thirty
nine seasons later. Hey, maybe next year, maybe on the
forty year anniversary, they'll bring out Jim McMahon with the shape. Well,
you know, based on the hype, you would think that's

(19:52):
coming next. My prediction, Oh, you're gonna see it. The
craziest part could I give you, guys, the craziest part
of the NFC. You ain't here to stop no trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl shovel. Come on,
come on. But by the way, yo, take it back
on a Tuesday. I wasn't a Chicago Bears fan, but
I thought that song was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
I really did, almost as cool as the eighty six Mets.

(20:14):
You're Super Bowl showing as a team or the Super
Bowl shuffling. I thought it was cool. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
What I corny even as a little kid, was all
the copycat teams.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yes, I thought it was so cool. I really did
they they That team was full of legends and they
went all the way. That's pretty awesome, man, that's confident.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh I saw how he long trying to wrap in
an l A Raiders version of it.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Why why that's when everyone wrapped like Fred Blinstone. Yes,
I love fruity pebbles in a major way. He loves
frudy pebble. My name is copy his name is Barney,
and is here to say I love fruddy pebbles and
a major Wait no, please know. So if you're that confident, Chicago,
where's the song? Is what I'm what I'm asking. Yeah,
let me hit you with this real quick and then

(21:01):
we'll make like your favorite slugger and move on. Okay,
That NFC North battles at the end of the year,
because you heard me give you the first like half
of the year and you only heard what one division matchup. Yeah,
the Bears are going to have this season in their
own hands because they end the season against the Packers

(21:24):
two weeks before that, they play the Lions. The Vikings
two weeks before that they play the Lions again, so
they wrap up their season. The NFC North battles for
the whole second half of the year. So your thoughts
predictions on Caleb Williams without ever seeing a snap in
the NFL, do you think you're you're innocent here? Do

(21:45):
you think people think that about your forty nine ers
because you've had your chance? I think my delusions lie
within the New York Mets. The forty nine ers are
a playoff team, and unless unless it's major injuries or
it's down and that they're good, I think they haven't
been good enough to win it yet. No I know.
I think the forty nine ers should win twelve or
more games. I like the over. The forty nine er

(22:07):
should win twelve thirteen regular season games, and then it's
a matter could they get past Lamar or Mahomes in
the Super Bowl or could they get past Jordan Lave
or dak or The Niners are a playoff team. No
one in that division is good enough to compete. Seahawks
aren't there, the Cardinals aren't there. The Rams might be
their only competition as far as the division. So the
question is who lost some key defensive players to keep

(22:28):
it real? Which fans really need to keep it real?
They're way too excited with that question. You could add
to our list besides the Bears and your thoughts on
the Bears, I'd love to hear from Chicago, let's do
it and what team needs to keep it real a
little bit going into the season. We'll take your feedback
next Cavin on Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Wait now, is that the Bears? Have the Bears taken

(26:02):
this year's title of slow down the Bears packers Like,
I'm surprised with CJ. Stroud and the success he had.
You don't see that braggadocious at least I don't. That's
not the vibe I'm getting from Texans fans. I think
I get you notice. I think Houston was just so
thrilled to Wow, what a big step in the right direction.
You're right, you would think that maybe Houston would be
a little like this year, next step. Not the vibe

(26:24):
I'm getting. So keeping it real? Who's not keeping it real?
Which team? Which fan base is the most delusional? We'll
go to your phone calls now at eight seven, seven
ninety nine out Fox, and then we got to talk
about the White Sox. So we'll go from the Bears,
Chicago Bears to the Chicago White Sock She's gotta get

(26:44):
some deep dip dish pezzs. In the meantime, Blue mel Noddies,
let's go to Mitch and Jersey what's up, Mitch?

Speaker 5 (26:52):
What's pop? Guys?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Hoping it is?

Speaker 5 (26:53):
Well, we're good, by the way, I think the White
there's a tank and there must be coming up at
there must no sun. We don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
I think Cale Caleb.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Is gonna fast four thou the Yards.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
They gonna make the wild cars and I see.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
I think he's dreaming a bit. And the Division Tough
Conference is the Jets.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
I love to see Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Dude, that's a great win. How do we forget that?
I have to say he's dead on about that. You
really think that Jets have a shot? Jay, Yes, Jets, Jets.
I think the big dreaming bro, Big dreaming bro. You know,
we grew up in New York. Every year the Jets

(27:39):
fans have high expectations and they stink every year, not
because they don't have a good team, because they're the Jets.
You're just talking about that fan base, h big dreaming.
I heard the great Dan Patrick. It was on one
of his Instagram clips. Someone asked him about the Jets
and Aaron Rodgers this year, and Dan Patrick put analytics

(28:00):
his sports mind aside, and he's like, I don't care
about anything other than that. I just feel about it.
I don't know what us say today says just to
pull you in, telling you that they're gonna win a
Super Bowl. Get out of town with that nonsense. Honestly,
I think that's a great answer, dude. I know you'll
hear some people go, but Noah, man, no, this is
their year. Okay, then then make it. Make a bet

(28:22):
with me. Now, as the kidd he say, dog water, bro,
you may you may not want to make this bet.
I know the Ohio riz is what they got. You're
a no wrizzler. Make this pt with me. I know
you're not gambling, man, but I will pick the Jets.
You take the Bears. If one team makes the playoffs
and the other doesn't, we get to pick what dinner

(28:42):
the other person buys. Chicago, not the Rizzly Bears, Jets
toilet water for days. They they both are going to stink.
That's my prediction. Okay, let's go to Carlos and Seattle.
What's up, Carlos, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 5 (28:58):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Man?

Speaker 6 (28:59):
What?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
What's teams? Fans are a little delusional going into this year.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
I'm a Cowboys fans man. I've been passionate since the nineties.
But right after Romo we became delusional.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Bro.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
You know, we Jack had that rookie season and we're thinking, oh,
my goodness is gonna happen? And then we just got
more delusional. And I hate Stephen A. Smith, but he's
always freaking right.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, but you're off the hook, man, because the cow
the Cowboys for years have been the team that cried
Super Bowl. Now it might be the Bears. Yeah, and
again attendance shows that it might be true. The fans,
the Cowboys fans are not as excited and delusional as
they normally are. So far you still have time. Well,
we'll give you some time. Yeah, Amber in Florida, Hi Amber,

(29:46):
how are you?

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (29:47):
I was just about to ask you some questions? Well, oh, man,
because I'm not like, I'm not a big big sports
for site Light left football and it's my route. Do
we always go back to our rootsite from Chicago up
in Chicago, I next in Florida for the last ten years.
And I remember you guys were talking about the Super
Bowl nineteen eighty five when the Bears won the Super

(30:09):
Bowl or yeight, yeah that song it was awesome. My
whole four I was from Chicago, Land and I've never
seen since that day in my lifetime a city that
came together more and as big as Chicago did that year.
It was incredible. So I am just speaking shout outs
for all of the sepowl in forties and fifties who
remember actually participating that. I have a question and that

(30:32):
is who do you think? Okay? In the first solutional,
I have to go on to say that the Chicago
Bears have disappointed me every single year since nineteen eighty five.
So my question is one, when is the last time
the Bears have been to the Super Bowl? I think
it was about five ten years ago.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
It was against Peyton Manning in Florida, and like O six,
like you guys. You guys even got the opening kickoff
for a touchdown. That was awesome. That was the great moment.
We actually remade the Super Bowl Shuffle on our show
at the time. You made Yeah when Robbie gold he
got the Golden foot. I remember that was one of
our lyrics we did. We actually did a parody of
all the players doing an updated Super Bowl shuffle. But

(31:12):
we appreciate you, Amber, and Amber, I'm gonna compare you
might you could you know you might feel the parallel.
The eighty five Bears feel very much to me like
the eighty six Mets because they were at patting with magic, swagger, character, everything,
and both teams have disappointed their fan base since. Yeah, no,

(31:33):
it's very very The character is the names. The very eighties.
They had such magic, both the montages and like they
overtook the city like the eighty six Mets on the
baseball version of the eighty five Bears. Yeah, I agree
with it. They do. They really are that magical mid
eighties vibe. And he had so many star players, so

(31:56):
many characters. Let's make music videos and the'uring commercials and
Jim McMahon might as well be Doc Gooding, you know.
Like it's very similar vibes. Thank you, Amber, we appreciate you.
Let's get an update and we're gonna go from the
Bears to the White Sox, Low and Kron. What's going
on the Rizly Bear? What Rizzly Bear? Isaac.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
I'm the punky anchor and named Loewen Kron. When I
hit the air, I have no idea what's going on?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I feel like I said, yeah, he's got the hip
hop skills of Jim McMahon for Barney Rubble.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
Oh no, that was more Yogi Bear than Barney Rubble.
They're both voiced by the same guy.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Anyway, that's true.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
Luckily, I do have a talented staff of writers working
underneath me, so they tell me that. San Francisco forty
nine ersad coach Kyle Shanahan said star running back Christian
McCaffrey has a strained calf, likely to be held out
of practice for a couple of weeks. Esp had reports
forty nine Ers now willing to listen to trade offers
for star receiver Brandon Ayuck have already gotten interest from
the Patriots and Browns. In this afternoon, re engaged in

(33:02):
discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers. At the Olympics, the US
men's basketball team today won its quarterfinal game handily over
Brazil by thirty five one twenty two to eighty seven.
The United States will face Serbia in the semi finals
on Thursday. And speaking of the Super Bowl shuffle earlier today,
in Serbia's dramatic overtime win over Australia, we had the

(33:25):
Sombore shuffle as in some Bore. Serbia native Nikola Yokovich,
who nailed the clinching basket, which was commemorated on the
Serbian telecast. Some Baby time out, some more shuffled baby.

(33:52):
US women's soccer team what its semi final match over
Germany and extra time one to nothing on a Sophia
Smith goal. They'll face Brazil in the final on Saturday.
Track and field American Gabrielle Thomas won gold in the
women's two hundred American Cole Hawker a name you want
to pronounce correctly. One gold in the men's fifteen hundred
American a meat e Lore, one gold in women's freestyle wrestling.

(34:14):
Fellas Back to you.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Hey, thank you Isaac, and thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation.
We're lying from the tire rack dot com studio. And
after the show, remember our podcast goes up. Danny g
like a manned scientist, hard at work putting it together.
If you miss any of today's show, be sure to
check out the podcast, our best of and the Best
of the Week, and our bonus podcast. Everything's there. Just
search Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast, follow

(34:36):
rate and reviews. I know you want to talk White
SOX will do that next. But I did want to
ask you Danny and the Fox Sports Radio Nation about
Brandon Ayuk. Sure, if this guy's at the fifty yard
line of practice, Bro Huggin, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan,
and you know, as a fan, let's say a guy
in the Yankees he's hesitant to sign. Is there a

(34:59):
party that's like beat it or not? Or do you
like or do you understand the games? And you know
it's business man, Yeah, still a business. Yeah. Unfortunately, that's
really way it is now.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I heard a couple of knuckleheads arguing this morning on
TV saying that Ayuk is actually more valuable than Debo
because he's as sending, whereas you can make the argument
argument that Deebo's you know done, yeah, descending exactly, but
he's at his peak right now.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
I think Debo more important to the offense because of
the confusion he brings depending on where you line him
up in the backfield in a slow position, wide out
like Deebo brings way more to the table, I think.
And McCaffrey, let's rest that calf But Niner fans, I
think would agree that if Brandon Ayuk doesn't want to play,
you know, let's see what Juwan Jennings has let's see

(35:50):
what Piersoll has out of the draft, right, So, I
mean there's guys that could fill that void, but man,
I'd like to keep Brandon Ayuk if you're a Niners fan.
But if there's that's a deal to be made, you'll
see it in the next couple days, I'm sure. So hey, well, good, right? More? Yeah,
beat it. We got more NFL talk, more Chicago talk again.

(36:10):
We got to talk about the White Sox because what
they're doing is remarkable and it's not necessarily good. We'll
explain more Cavino and Rich next on Fox Sports Radio.
How don't you hate when your fantasy football season is
over before it started? Like you start running back Tares's
acl or your QB one is out to lunch this year? Well,
don't worry about suffering through some ridiculous last place punishment

(36:30):
from your friends. Because Draftkinks has many ways to play fantasy,
so every week is like a whole new season, from
playing weekly contest for your share of millions to the
newest games from Draftkinks pick six. More ways to play
fantasy on DraftKings means more shots to win. Draftkinks. We
get you. So we got that. The crown is.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Big Dreaming, bro Well, big dreaming Caleb Williams is going
to take us all the way, Big Dreamers, Okay, Chicago.
Not that we're rooting against the Bears or the Packers
or whoever else was in that conversation. Like I said,
Packers did Bears fans forget that two of the best
teams in the NFC last year were in their division.

(37:38):
It's just that you don't know, We don't know. But
I understand where the excitement comes from. Of course, big draft,
big new quarterback, big new start, big dreaming, and some
big acquisitions. Yeah, Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio,
if you just joined us, it's basically who's the modern
day Cowboys? Fans. Well, when we say that, meaning which

(38:01):
team is a little uh, a little delusion with the
fan base who's not keeping it real? You could add
to that list or chime in at Covene on Wrinch
And if you're mad about anything we said, well we
said it respectfully, so leave us alone. Hey, if they
actually had fans, I would think the Chargers would be
in this category a little bit. Oh now see, I'm
just saying, did you know a Chargers fan? Good luck

(38:24):
saying I do. Isn't Mario Lopez? You know, the inventor
of butt wipes? Isn't he a Chargers fan? Go? Chargers Go? Yeah?
I mean you could argue that there's people that are
like man Jim Harbaugh, who I love, by the way,
he was great when he was a Niners head coach.
I like Jim and his khakis and his vibe. But

(38:46):
does he make that team a ten plus win AFC
wild card team? Maybe the truth is here's the great equalizer.
Nobody knows it. That's really everyone's full of crap. Now,
if you know a little something, We're gonna do last
one Standing next, how We're giving away some prizes, do
some trivia here on the show. But speaking of the Bears,

(39:06):
speaking of Chicago, we got to talk a little baseball.
Rich real quick, right quick again, Covino Rich Alive from
the tyreck dot Com studio. I'm gonna put you on
the spot like you always put me on the spot.
I'll put you on the spot first, easy one. I'll
put you on the spot first. Five years ago today,
you were hanging out with one of your heroes. Who
was it? I just saw a Facebook memory pop up
during the break five years ago today, on this day,

(39:28):
and I tagged you on Instagram, which means you didn't
look at Instagram during the break. Pee wee Herman No,
trying to think all my heroes late? Great pee wee No,
Derek Jeter, No, who SpongeBob? Yeah? Five years ago today,
you and I had a sit down with Mike Divan,
Right Divan, I went to his ranch five years ago today, Ah, Manine,

(39:50):
I hate how time flies for real. Now, we just
talked about the Bears. When the White Sox played the Cubs.
What's that called? It's not the Subway series. What's it called? Oh?
Because guess what the White so the deep dish dive? Nope, no, yea.
When I say, you're gonna be like, ah, I'm gonna

(40:11):
oh yeah, It's just that I put you on the spot.
See that's what Rich does to me all the time.
I'm so glad I get to give you a little doc.
You're the Windy City. No, well, the Windy City Showdown
is one of them, right, the Windy City Showdown this
weekend in the MLB Crosstown Classic what do they call it?
Across Thesstown class? What are they called the Dodgers Angels?
Because that doesn't have a lot of hype, But there

(40:31):
was the Freeway. So I bring that up because the
White Sox are in major jeopardy Alex Trebek's style of
breaking the record for consecutive losses in the MLB. They're
gonna make history tonight with twenty two most likely. Okay,

(40:52):
the record to my knowledge, Elias from the Sports Bureau,
Danny G, d Wayne Stats, all you stat guys out there,
please back me up. I think the record's twenty three
nineteen sixty one Philadelphia Phillies. The record is twenty three
losses in a row. So if they lose tonight, that's
twenty two. That means if they lose tomorrow against Oakland,

(41:16):
they tie the record at twenty three. If they got
Thursday off, if they're gonna beat anyone, Oakland's their best shot.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Hold on.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
They got Thursday off, which means they could break the
record on Friday against the Cubs. So in that Crosstown Classic,
I'm wondering, cross Town, is everybody going. Does everybody watch
just to see history in the making? Are you really

(41:42):
rooting to see the White Sox lose twenty four games
in a row and break the record? Well, if that
is the record, I'm pretty sure it is. What a
Chicago first doll over our show today, I wonder if
But that's how bad they wonder if White Sox fans
are rooting for the record or not. You know how
sometimes when it's so bad, say no, but the casual

(42:05):
fan like you or I, oh it's fun. Yeah, But
now I am tuning in to be like I'm checking,
like did they lose again? Are they losing? But I'm
saying White Sox fans, are you going with the mindset
of like, yo, if we're losing like this, we might
as well be the worst? Yeah, I know, so your
thoughts on this. They're that bad and we're gonna play
more games. Have some fun here. Cavino and rich on
