a Congrats to the brew crew. Baseball's heating up, and
as much as I can only think about football, I'm
a Mets fan, and when they were so awful early on,
(02:22):
I would never have imagined that with eleven games to go,
they'd be a couple up on the Braves for that
final wild card. The Padres lost yesterday, The Diamondbacks lost yesterday,
the Braves lost yesterday. So a good day for New
York Mets fans. So we'll talk to baseball. We'll talk,
like I said, some cheeseburgers on National Cheeseburger Day. We'll
talk about check but of course NFL the primary focus
(02:46):
this time of year here on Fox Sports Radio. Hold up, hey,
you believe that tomorrow is the start of week three already?
It doesn't feel real, right, isn't that insane? Just like that,
just like that week three begins. Well, I'll tell you
I don't want to ever be that guy. Know, Jay
(03:07):
Stu from the Doug Gottlieb Show has a major problem.
Who I mean, he's got a lot of them. He's
got a major problem when people are like, I can't
believe time's flying in there. Yeah he's there, Yeah, he's there. Ju,
I'm that guy.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I'm like, oh man, it's October first already, that you
are that guy that hates you for Well, he.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Just said he feels like your first segment should be
over already. You know later, guys, But I can't believe
it was school picture day at my kid's school, and
I'm like, well, they just started. I'm like, no, they didn't.
They started a month ago exactly. Yep. Times flying, How
ja su Seriously, man, before you know it's week four,
then week five, put up Halloween decorations week Crazy? How
(03:49):
it just keeps going in order every week?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
God, no, it really is going quick. But baseball's heating
up football like you said week three. And something I
wanted to start with was patience, not your amazing whistling,
but you could do it. It's a great song, not bad.
Bryce Young is twenty three years old. Can we start
(04:13):
by saying that Quise start by here? Did you hear
what they were saying at our old employer, Steven A
was going off on him. This is maybe the biggest
bust in NFL history. Blasphemous. He's a twenty three year
(04:34):
old guy on a crappy team. Give the guy a break.
It is sad, but it happens to all these young players.
He's not the only one. We've seen it happen so
many times, and you're starting to see it, I mean
not quite yet. I think you get a little more
Lee way a little more time with the Caleb Williams, obviously,
but you're seeing him scramble. He's got no protection, no
(04:54):
offensive line, and with all these young quarterbacks, his line
is offensive. It is offensive, is grand opening, grand clothed in.
Now he'll get more of a shot for sure. But
Bryce Young, you can't call it a day on this
guy yet, at least I don't think so. You know what,
part of the problem is part of the bust when
you give up on him so quickly, part of the problemo.
(05:18):
And this has happened to all of us. But I
feel like, especially Steve Covino, knowing you, Oh boy, have
you ever gone out on a double date and the
other guy? It's like captain romance and it makes you
look weak. It has happened. Yeah, it's happened. I went
out with this really rich guy one time. Remember his
name was Umberto. That's my classic story. Yeah, I went
(05:41):
out with my girlfriend at the time, her sister and
her older rich boyfriend, and he was ordering all these
expensive bottles of wine such as Umberto, such as Zoomberdo.
The dude was reciting poetry at the table for such
as Umberto. You were wearing an affliction T shirt. He
had a suit he was ordering for everybody at the table,
(06:02):
Sachas Umberto and every everything body like was leaning in on.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Every word he said, you know, go on, Humberto lobster
all around.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Talking about his recent trip to Barfelona, and like, all right,
enough of this guy making me look bad here. And
when he came to the bill, he expected me to
split everything that he was ordering. I was barely making
any I was getting paid in meatballs. This guy was
a millionaire and he was showing me up the whole time.
Umban have you know chimes in, I've been to the
(06:33):
Jersey Show. But it happens and you feel like the
weak link, you do, I get it. My point is
you know who I'm berto is? CJ Stroud. Yeah, that's
a good one, yeah, CJ Stroud. He came in like
what is Umberto? Yeah, because by coming in and making
the playoffs and now the Houston Texans two and zero undefeated,
(06:56):
guys like Danny g and people that know their football
are saying, maybe the Texans can make a run in
the AFC. Meanwhile, Bryce, Yeah, but not some people. It
does take a minute, and some people get the luxury
of learning from someone else, sitting back and relaxing and
taking it all in, and then when they get their shot,
(07:16):
they feel more comfortable. CJ. Stroud went in there and
he was running the system. He took great leadership. That's
an exception. And they were saying that. Collinsworth was saying
that about Caleb Williams this weekend about he's not just
out there making plays. He's out there being a quarterback
calling the shots. He's running the system like he is
(07:36):
the offense right now, and you got to give him
credit for that. He just needs more protection. You know,
some of these guys you expect them to be like CJ. Stroud,
but not everybody is CJ. Stroud. It takes longer for
them to develop. Is anyone else picturing Umberto looking like
I'm thinking Bobby Kannavall?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
For some reason, Umberto he had nice picturing them, most
interesting man alive.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I had this like Andy Garcia vibe about it. That's
what Sachazumberto, Well, he's already bought out a Cuban cigar
with one of those cutters. I didn't know what he
was ordering, like, it was just one of those I
was just out matched. He was talking about his boat
and his vacate. He he summers here and there. Anyone
who says they summer here and there with an Italian accent,
(08:22):
you want to punch him in there. Yeah, speaking of covignol,
give me your top three red wine? Red wine?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yeah, I drink Natty Ice. Did you tell him you
summer in Rosita, California?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Exactly right. So my point in saying this is you
can't expect I look, when you're throwing lots of money
at people and it's a win now, league, I get it,
that's what your expectation is. But it's an unrealistic expectation
to think that every young quarterbacks go to come in
there running the system, being the system and having the
wherewithal understanding of an NFL quarterback the way see j
(09:00):
Stroud has made it look really easy that it is
pretty amazing to see what he's doing. Not every quarterback's
going to do that. Most scenarios. Manning didn't do that.
Most scenarios are more like Bryce Young. If you want
to go back, the year was nineteen ninety eight. I
knew you were going there. I was in college and
I remember I was graduating. I remember this young stud
(09:23):
out of Tennessee, Peyton Manning and his rookie season Cavino.
The Colts went three and thirteen and he threw twenty
eight league league leading interceptions. Now, the only thing about
Peyton Manning is he came back year two honed in
and focused. And I think people are not seeing that
from Bryce Young And they were thinking, all right, growing pains. Yeah,
(09:46):
but not only not only your favorite show in the eighties.
Sometimes again they always say it, right the NFL. You
welcome to the NFL. Everybody's moving a lot quicker. There's
an adjustment period for some people. I hate to say this,
but everybody develops differently. Everybody grows differently there, but he
learns differently. And that applies in the NFL as well.
We're talking about really young men, like really really young men.
(10:07):
It might take him a minute a season. And like
I said, some people like a Patrick Mahomes had the
luxury of learning on the job and taking it easy.
They threw this guy into the deep waters and expected
him to know everything. The fact that CG. Stroud did it,
that's a great point, Rich doesn't mean everybody could do it.
He sort of ruined it. For everybody here. See how
(10:27):
some kids learn to swim, They really do, just throw
them in. Yeah, that's what Mexicans do at their family
parties with other people. The swimmings on tailor lessons and
they laugh at the little kids. Danny g hit us
up with a meme this morning, a little tweet meme
from RG three and it said when you speak on
Bryce Young, just remember this, And it was a picture
(10:50):
of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield side by side wearing
that Carolina Panthers uniform and it said both are thriving.
In fact, Baker Mayfield talked about this, they asked him
about Bryce Young. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Quarterbacks hard, especially for young guys, when you're not surrounded
with the pieces that internet not given the opportunity to
have success. A lot of the time, guys have the talent,
they might have the brains, but they don't have the
right opportunity, the right fit. I mean, I'm sitting here
right now in a way better fit than the other
places I've been. And that's not to put other teams down,
but it's a matter of the pieces around you, the coaches,
(11:25):
and for Bryce, a guy that's not going to relate
to this finding that belief within yourself again, and he'll
get it. His story's far far from finished.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Props to RG three. Props to Mayfield and Donald for
making that happen and what great stories to rally behind.
You know, I'm slowly becoming a Baker Mayfield fan just
because of what he went through and where he's gone
and how far he's grown. You know, I like watching
this dude. Now he's legit. Donald, We're seeing it in
(11:56):
a different team, different system. We always say that, Hey,
maybe that applies to you. You in your real life.
You know, you're not striving wherever you're at. Maybe a
change of scenery he works wonders. I think Caleb Williams
also time, man, maturity, things like that, right. I think
Caleb is a great example if you want to step
away from Bryce Young for a second, because going into
the season, I feel bad for the guy. Going into
the season, every expert, every network, it was a lock
(12:22):
pretty much, who's going to be your offensive rookie of
the year. Well, Caleb Williams. There was talk he's gonna
take this Bears team to the playoffs in year one.
He's got the weapons from you know, Ebra Flus. You
watched Hard Knocks. Everyone was way high on Caleb Williams.
Now they're saying, he's uh Trey Lancer with Neil Polish.
It's it's an adjustment, Caleb Williams. Two weeks and people
(12:47):
are talking smack already, and they're already talking about are
they going to trade Bryce Young? And trust us, we
get it. They gave up a lot for the guy.
So your expectations are high, but again, be realistic. Put
you yourself in his twenty three year old cleats for
a minute. Whatever it is that you do. Sometimes you
go into a new job and man, you just fit
(13:08):
right in and everything flows. Hey, rich when you went
into your first full time job as a young man
out of college, right, didn't you feel like it was
sort of hard to grasp certain things in the real world.
I know it was for me. Maybe not for everybody,
but for me it was. I remember I worked for
I'm not calling women out, but I worked for two
women at the time. Right, Man, I feel like they
(13:30):
were speaking a different language to me. They were using
all this business office jargon I didn't know. Right, they
were talking down to me, yelling at me. They almost
had me in tears because I wasn't able to comprehend everything.
I was doing one thing forgetting another because I'd never
been in that type of position before. But you know what,
fast forward, hey man, I got the hang of it.
I got the swing of it. I didn't understand why
(13:52):
I wasn't comprehending in beginning, but it was all so
new coming at me so fast. This guy's a young
twenty three year old dude. In the NFL, some people
grasp it. Some people have the protection to grasp it.
Some people get out there and they're sort of lost,
but eventually they get it. Mayfield, let me pull a
Baker Mayfield for us, sect sure, the same way he said,
(14:15):
I'm not talking bad about other teams I played for.
I'm not talking about other places I worked in a
bad way. But when we were at a ESPN and
they were like, hey, guys, come on in the ESPN
way and here's this and that, it's not the fit
we have here at Fox Sports Radio, that's all you
have to say, right, I mean, like management, they put
(14:35):
us in position here to to succeed, to strive, to
feel comfortable, to be ourselves right where there wasn't any
doubt or confusion, and that feeling of not being sure
about what you're talking about or what you're doing. Man,
I feel bad for this dude with all these expectations,
(14:57):
all these pressures, and again and a crappy team behind them, and.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Even more pressure because Chicago's Hall is not finished. Carolina
is still on the hook for a twenty twenty five
second round pick.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So your thoughts, we'll talk Bryce, we'll talk Caleb Williams,
we'll talk about patience, and your feedback is next at eight, seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox. Your Bud's covin on retch

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to, and that's why we have a brand
new podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so
much fun in our two hour show. We never get
to everything on because this guy is over promising things.
(17:03):
We never have time for yeah, you blubber list Well,
you know what it's called over promise. You should be
good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life
and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue
on our after show called over Promised. Well, if you
(17:24):
don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you check
out over Promised and also uncensored by the way, so
maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's
gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
There you go, over promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts. Oh can I give you
(17:51):
a little oh a pretty good man? Oh yeah, because
you hear me in the shower when it's just me
and I'm doing my scrub a dub and I'm whistling away.
Oh man, I'll bring a tear to your eye. What's
(18:13):
the best whistle song? Is it Scorpions? Oh? Winds of
Change a good one? That is a How about Billy Joel?
Oh that's a good one. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Usually I find whistling annoying when people do in public,
but if you can hit all the notes, it sounds good.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
About Don't worry, be happy. You know, you heard a
lot of whistling over the weekend at the Canela fight.
One of the undercards was so boring. It was the
Danny Garcia Lara fight and it turned into a bird
sanctuary because there's so many Mexicans, so many Mexicans there,
and we're racist if you weren't Mexican exactly. No, there's
(18:53):
always whistling going on. I mean it was Mexican Independence
Day and there was a lot of fine women there.
So Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radios National Cheeseburger
Day and we play some GNR patients GNR with CNR
because should we have more patients as a culture in sports?
(19:14):
With Bryce Young Todd, it's so high. They gave up
a lot for him and now we're saying he's done.
He's due to diapers. Gotta get rid of him. What
happened to. By the way, aren't we growing up in
a time where all these young kids are like, we
gotta give them grace. We got to give them grace.
Not in sports, but you gotta give this guy some
(19:35):
grace because he's twenty three years old. You're throwing them
out there into the deep waters. Expect them to play
well because Rich nailed it. You have this CJ. Stroud expectation.
I'm here to say that CJ. Stroud is an anomaly,
and the anomaly can't be the expectation. It just can't be.
You gotta let these guys grow somehow, don't start them
(19:57):
so fast. Then not everybody's going to jump out there
and perform the way CJ. Stroud has. I mean, it's
not gonna work every time. But it appears as though
the Jordan Love strategy that was mocked at first, like
they grabbed the quarterback, they got Aaron Rodgers, and minus
the recent injury, Jordan Love just got paid a ton
of dough and everyone says he's the hot young quarterback.
(20:18):
So maybe not throwing a twenty two to twenty three
year old into the NFL on a trash team. All
it does is bury your confidence and unless you have
an offensive line. And Danny, we've talked about that, how
they're giving some of these young quarterbacks nothing. They might
get a couple of weapons, but you can't get the
ball to the weapons if no one's blocking.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
And another example to your point, the Falcons got trashed
by a lot of people for taking Pennix Junior, and
it's gonna be good for him to sit behind absolutely cousin.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You know, I was racking my brain with that example.
That's exactly it. Danny g nailed it right there. That
might be the better formula. And who's to say that,
you know, I hadn't Bryce Young been put in that situation,
he would have developed into a G eight player, you
know what I mean. That's the sad part about it.
And that's why the Baker Mayfield story and the Sam
Donald opportunity is so great to see because they got
(21:09):
that second chance to prove that they belong and I'm
sure their confidence was crushed at one point. Where Coveno

patience goes Cavino. And it's something we all lack. And
as you said, a guy like c. J. Stroud, the
(21:54):
anomaly shouldn't be the expectation. Something else we got to
point out with a lot of the quarterbacks and players
in the NFL being uh, what's that word from Christmas story?
Fred g I was gonna say, fred Gile, With all
the fred Gila players, it's not crazy to have two quarterbacks.
(22:17):
In fact, having a pretty solid backup is a beautiful
safety net to have. God forbid something happens to Kirk Cousins,
you'd have Michael Pennix Junior. Look at the Dolphins now,
Tua may not be back. Ever, let alone, at least
in the next couple of months. Yes, Skyler Thompson, something
maybe you should have thought about yesterday. So no harm
(22:40):
in having a young guy learn a little bit. Maybe
I'm getting soft in my old age. In fact that
I am. I gotta hit the gym. But I do
feel for these young players. I do I feel bad
for the sweathirt season. No, no, no, because we're at the
age now. You know, we're the youngest in the game.
Don't get a twisted Covino and rich. We stay fresh.
But I'm at the point where I am looking at
(23:02):
these guys like, man, these guys are younger than my
little brother. Imagine that was like your brother or something.
It's twenty three years old. He's like, my career is over.
He's like, nah, man, you'll be all right. But they
might not get that shot because their confidence could be crushed.
These are young, young dudes, man, and everybody develops differently.
Like his athleticism is probably there might be there, but
(23:25):
the wherewithal the understanding the football IQ, it might take
him a little longer look at. It might not be
the right fit. There's so many factors, right, A guy
like Zach Wilson this poor dude gets drafted. The minute
he gets drafted more people are concerned about his hot mom. Yeah.
Ends up with the Jets, plays like trash on a
(23:46):
trash team. Then they bring in Aaron Rodgers revent the team.
Oh your backup? All right, I'm a backup. Aaron Rodgers
gets hurt a couple of plays into the season, He's
thrown in there. His confidence is shocked. Remember towards the
end of the year, it just seemed like it was
no hope for Zach Wilson. Wait, there was a rumor
about Zach Wilson today. Yeah, it was that the giants
are looking at that, was it, right, Zach Wilson. I
(24:08):
don't know how that came about, but these guys are
think of where you were in your early twenties. Imagine
someone told you, yeah, your career path. Yeah you're done, kid,
I told you, dude. I'm not trying to trying to
figure ou a full beard yet exactly. I'm just trying
to make it relatable. When I first started in radio,
it wasn't even like on the air, it was just
(24:30):
in radio. I was working in radio.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I couldn't comprehend anything. I really couldn't. It was just
too much at once, and all those people that were
pointing their finger at me and yelling at me, what
are they doing now? I'm on Fox Sports Radio. I
may have took me a minute, but I did pretty
well for myself. Everybody learns at their own pace. Unfortunately,
like we said, it's a win now sort of thing.
(24:52):
They got to give these guys a chance to develop
just a little more before they throw them away.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
A lot of people gave up on Kyler Murray last season.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
He's and he's looking great.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
And our very own Dan Bayer during the preseason said
don't sleep on him yet, and look at how he's
come out guns blazon to start this season. So it's
and I think that's the best example. Because of the size.
He's a smaller quarterback, he obviously has some wheels. If
you give him a couple of years to develop, he
could get to that point.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, we were saying, go back to baseball. Remember he
made a bad choice. His speed is dangerous. So yeah,
that's another great example. But the one RG three was
posting about today was again Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield.
Good for them, young guys need time. It really is.
It's a shame, but it's a win now league. Let
(25:41):
me ask you one last question then to wrap it up.
When you hear Steven A and guys like that saying
biggest bust in history, biggest bust ever, blasphemy, when does
it become the biggest bust?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What is the what is the leeway you give a
young guy if when he starts drinking the purple drink.
I'm saying, if this team goes two and fifteen, two
years in a row and it's like almost allah the
Browns a decade or so ago, and you're not winning
any games, I mean, it's you, Dann Bayer. You. What
do you think the leash here on Bryce Youngest?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I think the least is very very short, and I
think that's just the way that it is now in
the National Football League, which isn't fair. The biggest bust ever,
There's there's no way, absolutely absolutely not. There could have
been red flags with Bryce Young with size and everything.
JaMarcus Russell, you know, with the with the Raiders who
had all the talent in the world and didn't do
(26:32):
anything with it. Bryce Young is just not adjusting to
the NFL. He's second guessing himself. That to me, is
is more of a bust because of what you didn't
do with.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
The talent that you had.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Not that Pryce Young isn't talented, but I don't think
Bryce Young is wasting it.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And that's not just the talent that you have around
you as well. Yeah, you know so. I think that's
when you know rich, When you know you have all
that talent around you and you're still not stepping up, right,
That's that's a great indicator, would say. And you know what,
I hate to be cliche and give you another saying
one man's uh, trash is another man's gold is treasure
(27:11):
or something like that. Yeah, good one. Look at Jared
GoF his first few is in first few years. No,
but honestly, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Who's
to say in a year from now? What if I mean,
I don't want to be the speculation guy, but what if,
like the Dolphins said, hey, you know two of this
is not going to work. What what's trade package would
you get for Bryce Young? What if you threw Bryce
Young with Mike McDaniel and all of a sudden he's
(27:33):
got Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and most In and
a chan and all and the line what what happens there?
Is he the same Bryce Young that you're seeing in Carolina?
You know, I don't think so. I mean, but if
but if he was, then you then you really know
as Baker Mayfield, As Baker Mayfield said in that clip, Yeah,
I want to hear one more time. I do, actually, yeah,
because he's a great example.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Quarterbacks hard, especially for young guys, when you're not surrounded
with the pieces that internet not even the opportunity to
have success. A lot of the time, guys have the talent,
they might have the brains, but they don't have the
right opportunity, the right fit. I mean, I'm sitting here
right now in a way better fit than the other
places I've been. And that's that's not to put other
teams down, but it's a matter of the pieces around you,
the coaches, and for Bryce, a guy that's not going
(28:17):
to relate to this, finding that belief within yourself again
and he'll get it. His story's far far from finished.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Ae Well said, man, he's come a long way by
the way he went from like it's sort of a
polarizing guy that might have rubbed you the wrong way
to a guy you want to get behind and root for.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You know. You know what's interesting though about Baker is
Baker has kind.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Of found a spot.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, as you guys were actually talking to the first segment,
I was trying to think of, you know, if there
was like a TV star, sitcom star, star of TV
they went and tried to do movies and it didn't work,
but they just they're they're in their pocket and TVs
and they're magnificent in tvsy like.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
A David Swimmer. Yeah. Yeah, but not everybody is Alex P. Keaton,
Michael J. Fox. Sure, sure everybody. That's what made him great.
That's what made him an anomaly. Not everybody could go
from family ties to back to the future like this.
Look at that O'Neil, ed O'Neil get married with children.
No one really loved ed O'Neil movies. Then he went
to Modern Family and I had another ten year runner.
(29:13):
He's a great TV star. Hey, ed O'Neil was in
Wayne's World. Yeah, crazy uh doughnut shop owner. Yes, that.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And the point that I was gonna make was, remember
Baker Mayfield started as a walk on So what he
fits is. He fits is the underdog sort of role
when he became Baker Mayfield, Heisman Trophy winner, first overall pick.
Maybe that isn't isn't who Baker is. Maybe that's where
he doesn't thrive. Maybe you know, just doesn't work that way.
(29:42):
It's a great point. You did righte those expectations.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, right, when you erase those expectations, you hit the
rock bottom. Then you know you take away that stigma
by removing those expectations. Good point. You see you feel
for real, like you think about it. Actually, I mean
Dan led me there, so I gotta give Dan the credit.
I mean, yeah, when you when you when you're Baker
(30:06):
Mayfield and you're Heisman guy and you're like supposed to
be the best. Yeah, man, you stink. But then when
you stink and all of a sudden you're playing lights out,
you're like, man, he's come a long way. He's great. Yeah,
it's true, Like, uh, you only go off from there.
I felt that way about Ryan Fitzpatrick always when he
was the backup that gave everyone a little little spark
(30:26):
off the bench when the starter was hurt for a
couple of weeks. That was that was That's where he
that was his pocket when it was like should we
go with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a starting quarterback? No, I
don't root. I don't root against any of these guys
to succeed. So, uh, that's the story. That's the update.
And the speaking of quarterbacks, we're gonna have to talk
about what Miami should do because there's a lot of
(30:48):
rumors there too. So we'll get to the Wilson's being
thrown out there, Trey Lance. You hear a lot of
names in that mix. Start thinking about that, Start thinking
about cheeseburgers. I have some gripes of baseball. But let's
go to Dan Bayer for an update. What's up, dB? Yeah, yeahs.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
The ticket has been punched in baseball's postseason, as the
Milwaukee Brewers are NL Central champions.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They didn't even play this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The A's did the dirty work, topping the Cubs five
to three, so Milwaukee's magic number entering the day was one.
Cubs lost Brewers or division champs for the third time
in four years.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Just they celebrate after the game tonight because they already clinched.
I always find that odd when it's already when the
work is done to the and like.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
We did it, they absolutely will okay, win or lose.
And the funny thing is is the Phillies can clinch
a postseason spot. If your Mets lose and the Braves
lose to the Reds, Philadelphia would be able to clinch
a playoff spot. They could celebrate. You could have two
celebrations going on in different locker rooms in Milwaukee, depending
on how it all plays out. Tonight, love it, yes,
(31:51):
but still some baseball to be played. Your Mets start
of the day, rich tied with the Diamondbacks for the
second wild card in the National League. Diamondbacks and work
against the Rockies, up eight to two in the ninth inning.
White Sox Angels right now in Anaheim won nothing. Southsiders
over the Halos in the seventh day. Barn Burner, That
(32:12):
is right. I wonder how many people are actually there. Yes,
it's White Sox Angels. Don't know if Mike Harmon was
able to make it down notable White Sox fan here
at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
But yeah, a tough tough tickets he went down there.
They let him sit in the dugout.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, Harmon's batting. What's going on here? Packers quarterback Jordan
Love limited a practice with his knee injury. No practice
for Texans running back Joe Mixon. The Rams did not
place Cooper Cup on injured reserve, despite the fact that
Cup could miss multiple weeks because of that ankle injury.
Two time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning one of one
hundred and sixty seven modern era players now that have
(32:50):
been nominated for an Enshrime inn into the Hall of
Fame class of twenty twenty five, and the seventy six
ers in City of Philadelphia have reached the agreement to
bil new arena in downtown Philadelphia, pending city Council approval.
The new facility would cost an estimated one point five
billion dollars and would open in twenty thirty one.

Welcome back to the show, Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio.
Hope you're having a great week so far. This National
Cheeseburger Day, National Cheeseburger in Paradise though, is that Rich?
Iowa Sam? Jeez, we got the best squad man, Iowa
Sam bringing it. Danny G's the best in the game.
Super I was saying, Iowa Sam is quintessential. I was
(35:04):
Sam today. If you were to ever meet our great
board op and producer, I was Sam. Yeah. It's wearing
a free iheartshirt and a WAYNS world that Yeah today
is you? Yeah, thank you, Thank you very much, playing
some great sound effects, playing some great music. Do your thing,
Iowa Sam. Spotty's on the videos getting ready for Midweek Major.
The biggest stories in sports and pop culture? Are they
(35:25):
midweek or major? We do it every Wednesday and Rich
before we talk cheeseburgers on National Cheeseburger I mean, I
can't wait. I just wanted to say that I love
your that you're getting fired up about baseball again because
there's so much football action going on. But I love
the moves that are being made. I saw Marcus Stroman
warming up in the bullpen yesterday. You're seeing the teams
getting ready, you know what I mean. Just yeah, you
(35:47):
start making adjustments. But I don't know if you saw this.
I thought it was kind of cool. I just want
to point it out. Wan Soto reached like four milestones
with one home run yesterday. What were they? He hit
his fortieth. His fortieth also happened to be his two hundredth.
His two hundredth also happened to be what completed a
home run in every major League ballpark in Seattle. That's awesome.
(36:11):
And it also marked the first time Yankees had two
forty home run hitters him and Judge since Mantle Maris.
He did all that with one home run. Though. Kind
of cool, but again, just thinks to get excited about
as October, Like you said, the adjustments you start to
see closer. Yeah, Danny, you're saying it with the Dodgers too.
(36:33):
You wonder what back end relievers, I'm sorry, what back
end of the rotation guys, become relieved. What speedsters they
call up that could play a major par in the postseason,
but they always that guy start seeing like the Mets
called up I call him Little Acuna. Yeah, oh yeah,
he already hit a bomb. Little Acuna is the bomb.
He is the bomb. Does a guy like that make
the postseason roster? If they make it in you start wondering,
(36:55):
like there's always that spark plug you go the hot hand.
You know there are guys, the guys that have been
with the team in the bullpen or you know, the
fourth or fifth outfielder that don't necessarily make that twenty
five twenty six man postseason roster. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
For the Dodgers, Gavin Stone, it was just announced that
he's most likely done for the season. That injury riddled
pitching staff for the Dodgers is insane when you look
at how many pitchers have gone down. They lost Glass
now for the rest of the season, and they're talking
about maybe having Otani pitch in the Postseason's.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
The other thing I was getting to that Yamamota, you
number one guy or no. Right now he would be
is edging toward fifty to fifty right he's forty eight
forty eight. Yep, and they're talking about him out of
the bullpen. So you're seeing that postseason scramble auditions for
certain players. It's just a great time and it gets
you fired up because again, football excites you. I know
(37:49):
it's your favorite, but those little things that are starting
to happen gets you invested again. And again, what guys
are back for the playoffs may have missed most of
the year, Like not just because it's my Mets, but
Cody Senga is a legitimate ace in the National League,
and the Mets have not had him all year. Remember
he had one start and in that one start he
(38:11):
was pitching lights out and then hurt his leg. Sweet Ace,
I mean said you love a good sweet Ace Now
from the tire rack dot Com studios. Again, we're Cavino
and Rich and while we get excited about baseball, I
also want you to start thinking about your favorite cheese burger.
All right, your your number one spot, your number one
chain spot me when it comes to cheese spot, No
(38:33):
like chain burger places. I don't want to hear about
your local Bart's Burger, Bart's Burger and Poughkeepsie's Break. I
don't care where it is, but nobody knows it but
you and people in your hometown, so we can all
get Well, we'll talk about burgers, because who doesn't only
talk about food as well? So cho chos, we'll talk
(38:53):
about cheesebager chaeseburger coming up. We're also more NFL spots
got midweek Major But I said, I have a gripe
with Major Leaue Baseball, so let me get this off
my mind and we'll move along back to football and
other stuff. The question is simply this, who is accountable
when obvious blown calls are made? I've seen three of
(39:15):
them in the last twenty eight to forty eight hours,
and I get it. Guy does the little headphone movement
from the dugout coach replay. We're gonna go to New
York for the replay. Three plays were Garbaggio and they
were all wrong. And I'm wondering to myself, who is
accountable when they say, all right, uh, it's clear that
(39:38):
he was safe. Mcoll stands, who was out? Are we
just trusting some bonehead in a replay center? I want explanations.
The fans deserve it. You watch one hundred and sixty
two of these stupid things. No one's accountable, and like
you're saying, like, who's the guy in New York? They
go to, like, we want to know there was two
(39:58):
yesterday and the third, but and yesterday or two days ago.
But it has to be like irrefutable though. Number one, right,
Altuve hits a foul ball off his foot. Yeah, they're saying,
didn't hit his foot. Go to the replay, No, didn't
hit his foot. Altuv gets thrown out because he takes
his shoe and sock off to try to show the
(40:19):
umpire like, look, my foot is bruised. I got hit
the foot. I thought they threw himut because he had
ugly feet. Yeah, those feet, get out of here. You're
out here. Those ugly feet made him sniff a sock. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I thought you were gonna say he finally took his
jersey off. No, he won't take his jersey.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Of you that he's not hiding anything in his shoes, Danny,
So Altuve blown call number one. Clearly, the ball goes
off his foot. Yeah, he's in pain. And of course
you're you're thinking yourself, well, what's the point. Why why
go to the video, Why go to the replay? Why
go to New York. If they're not going to get
it right, that's the point of replay. I get it.
The point of replay is to get it right. If
you don't get it right, we all get it is
(40:54):
the butt. So if we all get it, Yeah, where's
the answers? Who do we punch in the face? This
is what ross to Trey Turner slides into second base.
Oh he doesn't just slide. They miss him by a mile.
Go to the replay center out, where's the tag play number?
(41:17):
You have to it has to be convincing. It has
to be obvious play number three. Yeah. Profar in a
tight game against the Astros, extra innings inside pitch now
they want him up there for the pitching matchup. They're saying,
ball hits him. He gets out of the way. The
(41:37):
ball comes nowhere close to hitting. I mean you could
clearly see the ball does not It was closed, but
it didn't hit him. Profar right, go to the replay
center in New York after further review, the ball hit him.
Take for his miss? Yeah, like how was that? What?
I guess what Rich is saying is he wants answers.
(41:58):
You really just want to face to punch and but
who's face do we punch when we know you got
it wrong? Everybody knows you. Now, how do you explain
that I loved it as a Mets fan hoping the
Padres lost On the next play, Manny Machado grounded out
for an inning and game ending out, but Profar should
have been in the batter's box. So my question to everyone,
(42:20):
it's more of a question to no one, I guess,
because who is accountable when you get a call wrong
in baseball, football, basketball, when replays there for a reason
and it's still wrong, who is held accountable? If you
f up at your job, you're accountable. If you who's
to replay? Like if I just spilled If I spilled
hot coffee all over the microphones and they short it out,
(42:41):
who's responsible? We know? We know Elias is at the
sports bureau. Who's at the review center? Some drabbroni that
keeps making mistakes. You don't have to answer that question.
I'll answer the question. We want to know. I want
to know. I think it's a great question, rich, So
I want the truth. Clearly, I'm not going to get
an answer, So I'm talking to the air like everyone else.
(43:03):
But last night baseball just really disappointed. Great, great run
at the playoffs, but when you miss three calls in
New York at the Review Center, something's got to change,
all right. We got more Coveno and Rich next right here,

I got gripes. With baseball, We'll talk cheeseburgers, a lot

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Wow, breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
The Milwaukee Brewers are your NL Central Division champions.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They got there.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The Cubs loss to the Oakland A's at home final
score A's five, Cubs three. Brewers win the division for
the second straight year, the third time in four years
they've won the NL Central.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Look at that cheese curds on you, Dan Byer, Yes, absolutely,
you got it. Tomorrow, let's go take that, Craig Cancel,
I dig it. Shout out to Bernie the Brewer. You
want to go down that slide one day? Hell yeah,
that would be dope. I would love to ST's making
a Congrats to the brew crew. Baseball's heating up, and
as much as I can only think about football, I'm
a Mets fan, and when they were so awful early on,
(02:22):
I would never have imagined that with eleven games to go,
they'd be a couple up on the Braves for that
final wild card. The Padres lost yesterday, The Diamondbacks lost yesterday,
the Braves lost yesterday. So a good day for New
York Mets fans. So we'll talk to baseball. We'll talk,
like I said, some cheeseburgers on National Cheeseburger Day. We'll
talk about check but of course NFL the primary focus
(02:46):
this time of year here on Fox Sports Radio. Hold up, hey,
you believe that tomorrow is the start of week three already?
It doesn't feel real, right, isn't that insane? Just like that,
just like that week three begins. Well, I'll tell you
I don't want to ever be that guy. Know, Jay
(03:07):
Stu from the Doug Gottlieb Show has a major problem.
Who I mean, he's got a lot of them. He's
got a major problem when people are like, I can't
believe time's flying in there. Yeah he's there, Yeah, he's there. Ju,
I'm that guy.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I'm like, oh man, it's October first already, that you
are that guy that hates you for Well, he.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Just said he feels like your first segment should be
over already. You know later, guys, But I can't believe
it was school picture day at my kid's school, and
I'm like, well, they just started. I'm like, no, they didn't.
They started a month ago exactly. Yep. Times flying, How
ja su Seriously, man, before you know it's week four,
then week five, put up Halloween decorations week Crazy? How
(03:49):
it just keeps going in order every week?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
God, no, it really is going quick. But baseball's heating
up football like you said week three. And something I
wanted to start with was patience, not your amazing whistling,
but you could do it. It's a great song, not bad.
Bryce Young is twenty three years old. Can we start
(04:13):
by saying that Quise start by here? Did you hear
what they were saying at our old employer, Steven A
was going off on him. This is maybe the biggest
bust in NFL history. Blasphemous. He's a twenty three year
(04:34):
old guy on a crappy team. Give the guy a break.
It is sad, but it happens to all these young players.
He's not the only one. We've seen it happen so
many times, and you're starting to see it, I mean
not quite yet. I think you get a little more
Lee way a little more time with the Caleb Williams, obviously,
but you're seeing him scramble. He's got no protection, no
(04:54):
offensive line, and with all these young quarterbacks, his line
is offensive. It is offensive, is grand opening, grand clothed in.
Now he'll get more of a shot for sure. But
Bryce Young, you can't call it a day on this
guy yet, at least I don't think so. You know what,
part of the problem is part of the bust when
you give up on him so quickly, part of the problemo.
(05:18):
And this has happened to all of us. But I
feel like, especially Steve Covino, knowing you, Oh boy, have
you ever gone out on a double date and the
other guy? It's like captain romance and it makes you
look weak. It has happened. Yeah, it's happened. I went
out with this really rich guy one time. Remember his
name was Umberto. That's my classic story. Yeah, I went
(05:41):
out with my girlfriend at the time, her sister and
her older rich boyfriend, and he was ordering all these
expensive bottles of wine such as Umberto, such as Zoomberdo.
The dude was reciting poetry at the table for such
as Umberto. You were wearing an affliction T shirt. He
had a suit he was ordering for everybody at the table,
(06:02):
Sachas Umberto and every everything body like was leaning in on.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Every word he said, you know, go on, Humberto lobster
all around.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Talking about his recent trip to Barfelona, and like, all right,
enough of this guy making me look bad here. And
when he came to the bill, he expected me to
split everything that he was ordering. I was barely making
any I was getting paid in meatballs. This guy was
a millionaire and he was showing me up the whole time.
Umban have you know chimes in, I've been to the
(06:33):
Jersey Show. But it happens and you feel like the
weak link, you do, I get it. My point is
you know who I'm berto is? CJ Stroud. Yeah, that's
a good one, yeah, CJ Stroud. He came in like
what is Umberto? Yeah, because by coming in and making
the playoffs and now the Houston Texans two and zero undefeated,
(06:56):
guys like Danny g and people that know their football
are saying, maybe the Texans can make a run in
the AFC. Meanwhile, Bryce, Yeah, but not some people. It
does take a minute, and some people get the luxury
of learning from someone else, sitting back and relaxing and
taking it all in, and then when they get their shot,
(07:16):
they feel more comfortable. CJ. Stroud went in there and
he was running the system. He took great leadership. That's
an exception. And they were saying that. Collinsworth was saying
that about Caleb Williams this weekend about he's not just
out there making plays. He's out there being a quarterback
calling the shots. He's running the system like he is
(07:36):
the offense right now, and you got to give him
credit for that. He just needs more protection. You know,
some of these guys you expect them to be like CJ. Stroud,
but not everybody is CJ. Stroud. It takes longer for
them to develop. Is anyone else picturing Umberto looking like
I'm thinking Bobby Kannavall?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
For some reason, Umberto he had nice picturing them, most
interesting man alive.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I had this like Andy Garcia vibe about it. That's
what Sachazumberto, Well, he's already bought out a Cuban cigar
with one of those cutters. I didn't know what he
was ordering, like, it was just one of those I
was just out matched. He was talking about his boat
and his vacate. He he summers here and there. Anyone
who says they summer here and there with an Italian accent,
(08:22):
you want to punch him in there. Yeah, speaking of covignol,
give me your top three red wine? Red wine?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yeah, I drink Natty Ice. Did you tell him you
summer in Rosita, California?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Exactly right. So my point in saying this is you
can't expect I look, when you're throwing lots of money
at people and it's a win now, league, I get it,
that's what your expectation is. But it's an unrealistic expectation
to think that every young quarterbacks go to come in
there running the system, being the system and having the
wherewithal understanding of an NFL quarterback the way see j
(09:00):
Stroud has made it look really easy that it is
pretty amazing to see what he's doing. Not every quarterback's
going to do that. Most scenarios. Manning didn't do that.
Most scenarios are more like Bryce Young. If you want
to go back, the year was nineteen ninety eight. I
knew you were going there. I was in college and
I remember I was graduating. I remember this young stud
(09:23):
out of Tennessee, Peyton Manning and his rookie season Cavino.
The Colts went three and thirteen and he threw twenty
eight league league leading interceptions. Now, the only thing about
Peyton Manning is he came back year two honed in
and focused. And I think people are not seeing that
from Bryce Young And they were thinking, all right, growing pains. Yeah,
(09:46):
but not only not only your favorite show in the eighties.
Sometimes again they always say it, right the NFL. You
welcome to the NFL. Everybody's moving a lot quicker. There's
an adjustment period for some people. I hate to say this,
but everybody develops differently. Everybody grows differently there, but he
learns differently. And that applies in the NFL as well.
We're talking about really young men, like really really young men.
(10:07):
It might take him a minute a season. And like
I said, some people like a Patrick Mahomes had the
luxury of learning on the job and taking it easy.
They threw this guy into the deep waters and expected
him to know everything. The fact that CG. Stroud did it,
that's a great point, Rich doesn't mean everybody could do it.
He sort of ruined it. For everybody here. See how
(10:27):
some kids learn to swim, They really do, just throw
them in. Yeah, that's what Mexicans do at their family
parties with other people. The swimmings on tailor lessons and
they laugh at the little kids. Danny g hit us
up with a meme this morning, a little tweet meme
from RG three and it said when you speak on
Bryce Young, just remember this, And it was a picture
(10:50):
of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield side by side wearing
that Carolina Panthers uniform and it said both are thriving.
In fact, Baker Mayfield talked about this, they asked him
about Bryce Young. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Quarterbacks hard, especially for young guys, when you're not surrounded
with the pieces that internet not given the opportunity to
have success. A lot of the time, guys have the talent,
they might have the brains, but they don't have the
right opportunity, the right fit. I mean, I'm sitting here
right now in a way better fit than the other
places I've been. And that's not to put other teams down,
but it's a matter of the pieces around you, the coaches,
(11:25):
and for Bryce, a guy that's not going to relate
to this finding that belief within yourself again, and he'll
get it. His story's far far from finished.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Props to RG three. Props to Mayfield and Donald for
making that happen and what great stories to rally behind.
You know, I'm slowly becoming a Baker Mayfield fan just
because of what he went through and where he's gone
and how far he's grown. You know, I like watching
this dude. Now he's legit. Donald, We're seeing it in
(11:56):
a different team, different system. We always say that, Hey,
maybe that applies to you. You in your real life.
You know, you're not striving wherever you're at. Maybe a
change of scenery he works wonders. I think Caleb Williams
also time, man, maturity, things like that, right. I think
Caleb is a great example if you want to step
away from Bryce Young for a second, because going into
the season, I feel bad for the guy. Going into
the season, every expert, every network, it was a lock
(12:22):
pretty much, who's going to be your offensive rookie of
the year. Well, Caleb Williams. There was talk he's gonna
take this Bears team to the playoffs in year one.
He's got the weapons from you know, Ebra Flus. You
watched Hard Knocks. Everyone was way high on Caleb Williams.
Now they're saying, he's uh Trey Lancer with Neil Polish.
It's it's an adjustment, Caleb Williams. Two weeks and people
(12:47):
are talking smack already, and they're already talking about are
they going to trade Bryce Young? And trust us, we
get it. They gave up a lot for the guy.
So your expectations are high, but again, be realistic. Put
you yourself in his twenty three year old cleats for
a minute. Whatever it is that you do. Sometimes you
go into a new job and man, you just fit
(13:08):
right in and everything flows. Hey, rich when you went
into your first full time job as a young man
out of college, right, didn't you feel like it was
sort of hard to grasp certain things in the real world.
I know it was for me. Maybe not for everybody,
but for me it was. I remember I worked for
I'm not calling women out, but I worked for two
women at the time. Right, Man, I feel like they
(13:30):
were speaking a different language to me. They were using
all this business office jargon I didn't know. Right, they
were talking down to me, yelling at me. They almost
had me in tears because I wasn't able to comprehend everything.
I was doing one thing forgetting another because I'd never
been in that type of position before. But you know what,
fast forward, hey man, I got the hang of it.
I got the swing of it. I didn't understand why
(13:52):
I wasn't comprehending in beginning, but it was all so
new coming at me so fast. This guy's a young
twenty three year old dude. In the NFL, some people
grasp it. Some people have the protection to grasp it.
Some people get out there and they're sort of lost,
but eventually they get it. Mayfield, let me pull a
Baker Mayfield for us, sect sure, the same way he said,
(14:15):
I'm not talking bad about other teams I played for.
I'm not talking about other places I worked in a
bad way. But when we were at a ESPN and
they were like, hey, guys, come on in the ESPN
way and here's this and that, it's not the fit
we have here at Fox Sports Radio, that's all you
have to say, right, I mean, like management, they put
(14:35):
us in position here to to succeed, to strive, to
feel comfortable, to be ourselves right where there wasn't any
doubt or confusion, and that feeling of not being sure
about what you're talking about or what you're doing. Man,
I feel bad for this dude with all these expectations,
(14:57):
all these pressures, and again and a crappy team behind them, and.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Even more pressure because Chicago's Hall is not finished. Carolina
is still on the hook for a twenty twenty five
second round pick.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So your thoughts, we'll talk Bryce, we'll talk Caleb Williams,
we'll talk about patience, and your feedback is next at eight, seven, seven,

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to, and that's why we have a brand
new podcast called over Promised. You see, we're having so
much fun in our two hour show. We never get
to everything on because this guy is over promising things.
(17:03):
We never have time for yeah, you blubber list Well,
you know what it's called over promise. You should be
good at it because you've been over promising women for years. Well,
it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we want
you to be a part of it. We're gonna be
talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life
and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue
on our after show called over Promised. Well, if you
(17:24):
don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you check
out over Promised and also uncensored by the way, so
maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's
gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
There you go, over promising, and remember you could see
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with
Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts. Oh can I give you
(17:51):
a little oh a pretty good man? Oh yeah, because
you hear me in the shower when it's just me
and I'm doing my scrub a dub and I'm whistling away.
Oh man, I'll bring a tear to your eye. What's
(18:13):
the best whistle song? Is it Scorpions? Oh? Winds of
Change a good one? That is a How about Billy Joel?
Oh that's a good one. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Usually I find whistling annoying when people do in public,
but if you can hit all the notes, it sounds good.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
About Don't worry, be happy. You know, you heard a
lot of whistling over the weekend at the Canela fight.
One of the undercards was so boring. It was the
Danny Garcia Lara fight and it turned into a bird
sanctuary because there's so many Mexicans, so many Mexicans there,
and we're racist if you weren't Mexican exactly. No, there's
(18:53):
always whistling going on. I mean it was Mexican Independence
Day and there was a lot of fine women there.
So Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radios National Cheeseburger
Day and we play some GNR patients GNR with CNR
because should we have more patients as a culture in sports?
(19:14):
With Bryce Young Todd, it's so high. They gave up
a lot for him and now we're saying he's done.
He's due to diapers. Gotta get rid of him. What
happened to. By the way, aren't we growing up in
a time where all these young kids are like, we
gotta give them grace. We got to give them grace.
Not in sports, but you gotta give this guy some
(19:35):
grace because he's twenty three years old. You're throwing them
out there into the deep waters. Expect them to play
well because Rich nailed it. You have this CJ. Stroud expectation.
I'm here to say that CJ. Stroud is an anomaly,
and the anomaly can't be the expectation. It just can't be.
You gotta let these guys grow somehow, don't start them
(19:57):
so fast. Then not everybody's going to jump out there
and perform the way CJ. Stroud has. I mean, it's
not gonna work every time. But it appears as though
the Jordan Love strategy that was mocked at first, like
they grabbed the quarterback, they got Aaron Rodgers, and minus
the recent injury, Jordan Love just got paid a ton
of dough and everyone says he's the hot young quarterback.
(20:18):
So maybe not throwing a twenty two to twenty three
year old into the NFL on a trash team. All
it does is bury your confidence and unless you have
an offensive line. And Danny, we've talked about that, how
they're giving some of these young quarterbacks nothing. They might
get a couple of weapons, but you can't get the
ball to the weapons if no one's blocking.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
And another example to your point, the Falcons got trashed
by a lot of people for taking Pennix Junior, and
it's gonna be good for him to sit behind absolutely cousin.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You know, I was racking my brain with that example.
That's exactly it. Danny g nailed it right there. That
might be the better formula. And who's to say that,
you know, I hadn't Bryce Young been put in that situation,
he would have developed into a G eight player, you
know what I mean. That's the sad part about it.
And that's why the Baker Mayfield story and the Sam
Donald opportunity is so great to see because they got
(21:09):
that second chance to prove that they belong and I'm
sure their confidence was crushed at one point. Where Coveno

patience goes Cavino. And it's something we all lack. And
as you said, a guy like c. J. Stroud, the
(21:54):
anomaly shouldn't be the expectation. Something else we got to
point out with a lot of the quarterbacks and players
in the NFL being uh, what's that word from Christmas story?
Fred g I was gonna say, fred Gile, With all
the fred Gila players, it's not crazy to have two quarterbacks.
(22:17):
In fact, having a pretty solid backup is a beautiful
safety net to have. God forbid something happens to Kirk Cousins,
you'd have Michael Pennix Junior. Look at the Dolphins now,
Tua may not be back. Ever, let alone, at least
in the next couple of months. Yes, Skyler Thompson, something
maybe you should have thought about yesterday. So no harm
(22:40):
in having a young guy learn a little bit. Maybe
I'm getting soft in my old age. In fact that
I am. I gotta hit the gym. But I do
feel for these young players. I do I feel bad
for the sweathirt season. No, no, no, because we're at the
age now. You know, we're the youngest in the game.
Don't get a twisted Covino and rich. We stay fresh.
But I'm at the point where I am looking at
(23:02):
these guys like, man, these guys are younger than my
little brother. Imagine that was like your brother or something.
It's twenty three years old. He's like, my career is over.
He's like, nah, man, you'll be all right. But they
might not get that shot because their confidence could be crushed.
These are young, young dudes, man, and everybody develops differently.
Like his athleticism is probably there might be there, but
(23:25):
the wherewithal the understanding the football IQ, it might take
him a little longer look at. It might not be
the right fit. There's so many factors, right, A guy
like Zach Wilson this poor dude gets drafted. The minute
he gets drafted more people are concerned about his hot mom. Yeah.
Ends up with the Jets, plays like trash on a
(23:46):
trash team. Then they bring in Aaron Rodgers revent the team.
Oh your backup? All right, I'm a backup. Aaron Rodgers
gets hurt a couple of plays into the season, He's
thrown in there. His confidence is shocked. Remember towards the
end of the year, it just seemed like it was
no hope for Zach Wilson. Wait, there was a rumor
about Zach Wilson today. Yeah, it was that the giants
are looking at that, was it, right, Zach Wilson. I
(24:08):
don't know how that came about, but these guys are
think of where you were in your early twenties. Imagine
someone told you, yeah, your career path. Yeah you're done, kid,
I told you, dude. I'm not trying to trying to
figure ou a full beard yet exactly. I'm just trying
to make it relatable. When I first started in radio,
it wasn't even like on the air, it was just
(24:30):
in radio. I was working in radio.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I couldn't comprehend anything. I really couldn't. It was just
too much at once, and all those people that were
pointing their finger at me and yelling at me, what
are they doing now? I'm on Fox Sports Radio. I
may have took me a minute, but I did pretty
well for myself. Everybody learns at their own pace. Unfortunately,
like we said, it's a win now sort of thing.
(24:52):
They got to give these guys a chance to develop
just a little more before they throw them away.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
A lot of people gave up on Kyler Murray last season.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
He's and he's looking great.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
And our very own Dan Bayer during the preseason said
don't sleep on him yet, and look at how he's
come out guns blazon to start this season. So it's
and I think that's the best example. Because of the size.
He's a smaller quarterback, he obviously has some wheels. If
you give him a couple of years to develop, he
could get to that point.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, we were saying, go back to baseball. Remember he
made a bad choice. His speed is dangerous. So yeah,
that's another great example. But the one RG three was
posting about today was again Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield.
Good for them, young guys need time. It really is.
It's a shame, but it's a win now league. Let
(25:41):
me ask you one last question then to wrap it up.
When you hear Steven A and guys like that saying
biggest bust in history, biggest bust ever, blasphemy, when does
it become the biggest bust?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What is the what is the leeway you give a
young guy if when he starts drinking the purple drink.
I'm saying, if this team goes two and fifteen, two
years in a row and it's like almost allah the
Browns a decade or so ago, and you're not winning
any games, I mean, it's you, Dann Bayer. You. What
do you think the leash here on Bryce Youngest?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I think the least is very very short, and I
think that's just the way that it is now in
the National Football League, which isn't fair. The biggest bust ever,
There's there's no way, absolutely absolutely not. There could have
been red flags with Bryce Young with size and everything.
JaMarcus Russell, you know, with the with the Raiders who
had all the talent in the world and didn't do
(26:32):
anything with it. Bryce Young is just not adjusting to
the NFL. He's second guessing himself. That to me, is
is more of a bust because of what you didn't
do with.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
The talent that you had.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Not that Pryce Young isn't talented, but I don't think
Bryce Young is wasting it.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And that's not just the talent that you have around
you as well. Yeah, you know so. I think that's
when you know rich, When you know you have all
that talent around you and you're still not stepping up, right,
That's that's a great indicator, would say. And you know what,
I hate to be cliche and give you another saying
one man's uh, trash is another man's gold is treasure
(27:11):
or something like that. Yeah, good one. Look at Jared
GoF his first few is in first few years. No,
but honestly, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Who's
to say in a year from now? What if I mean,
I don't want to be the speculation guy, but what if,
like the Dolphins said, hey, you know two of this
is not going to work. What what's trade package would
you get for Bryce Young? What if you threw Bryce
Young with Mike McDaniel and all of a sudden he's
(27:33):
got Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and most In and
a chan and all and the line what what happens there?
Is he the same Bryce Young that you're seeing in Carolina?
You know, I don't think so. I mean, but if
but if he was, then you then you really know
as Baker Mayfield, As Baker Mayfield said in that clip, Yeah,
I want to hear one more time. I do, actually, yeah,
because he's a great example.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Quarterbacks hard, especially for young guys, when you're not surrounded
with the pieces that internet not even the opportunity to
have success. A lot of the time, guys have the talent,
they might have the brains, but they don't have the
right opportunity, the right fit. I mean, I'm sitting here
right now in a way better fit than the other
places I've been. And that's that's not to put other
teams down, but it's a matter of the pieces around you,
the coaches, and for Bryce, a guy that's not going
(28:17):
to relate to this, finding that belief within yourself again
and he'll get it. His story's far far from finished.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Ae Well said, man, he's come a long way by
the way he went from like it's sort of a
polarizing guy that might have rubbed you the wrong way
to a guy you want to get behind and root for.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You know. You know what's interesting though about Baker is
Baker has kind.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Of found a spot.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, as you guys were actually talking to the first segment,
I was trying to think of, you know, if there
was like a TV star, sitcom star, star of TV
they went and tried to do movies and it didn't work,
but they just they're they're in their pocket and TVs
and they're magnificent in tvsy like.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
A David Swimmer. Yeah. Yeah, but not everybody is Alex P. Keaton,
Michael J. Fox. Sure, sure everybody. That's what made him great.
That's what made him an anomaly. Not everybody could go
from family ties to back to the future like this.
Look at that O'Neil, ed O'Neil get married with children.
No one really loved ed O'Neil movies. Then he went
to Modern Family and I had another ten year runner.
(29:13):
He's a great TV star. Hey, ed O'Neil was in
Wayne's World. Yeah, crazy uh doughnut shop owner. Yes, that.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And the point that I was gonna make was, remember
Baker Mayfield started as a walk on So what he
fits is. He fits is the underdog sort of role
when he became Baker Mayfield, Heisman Trophy winner, first overall pick.
Maybe that isn't isn't who Baker is. Maybe that's where
he doesn't thrive. Maybe you know, just doesn't work that way.
(29:42):
It's a great point. You did righte those expectations.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, right, when you erase those expectations, you hit the
rock bottom. Then you know you take away that stigma
by removing those expectations. Good point. You see you feel
for real, like you think about it. Actually, I mean
Dan led me there, so I gotta give Dan the credit.
I mean, yeah, when you when you when you're Baker
(30:06):
Mayfield and you're Heisman guy and you're like supposed to
be the best. Yeah, man, you stink. But then when
you stink and all of a sudden you're playing lights out,
you're like, man, he's come a long way. He's great. Yeah,
it's true, Like, uh, you only go off from there.
I felt that way about Ryan Fitzpatrick always when he
was the backup that gave everyone a little little spark
(30:26):
off the bench when the starter was hurt for a
couple of weeks. That was that was That's where he
that was his pocket when it was like should we
go with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a starting quarterback? No, I
don't root. I don't root against any of these guys
to succeed. So, uh, that's the story. That's the update.
And the speaking of quarterbacks, we're gonna have to talk
about what Miami should do because there's a lot of
(30:48):
rumors there too. So we'll get to the Wilson's being
thrown out there, Trey Lance. You hear a lot of
names in that mix. Start thinking about that, Start thinking
about cheeseburgers. I have some gripes of baseball. But let's
go to Dan Bayer for an update. What's up, dB? Yeah, yeahs.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
The ticket has been punched in baseball's postseason, as the
Milwaukee Brewers are NL Central champions.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They didn't even play this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The A's did the dirty work, topping the Cubs five
to three, so Milwaukee's magic number entering the day was one.
Cubs lost Brewers or division champs for the third time
in four years.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Just they celebrate after the game tonight because they already clinched.
I always find that odd when it's already when the
work is done to the and like.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
We did it, they absolutely will okay, win or lose.
And the funny thing is is the Phillies can clinch
a postseason spot. If your Mets lose and the Braves
lose to the Reds, Philadelphia would be able to clinch
a playoff spot. They could celebrate. You could have two
celebrations going on in different locker rooms in Milwaukee, depending
on how it all plays out. Tonight, love it, yes,
(31:51):
but still some baseball to be played. Your Mets start
of the day, rich tied with the Diamondbacks for the
second wild card in the National League. Diamondbacks and work
against the Rockies, up eight to two in the ninth inning.
White Sox Angels right now in Anaheim won nothing. Southsiders
over the Halos in the seventh day. Barn Burner, That
(32:12):
is right. I wonder how many people are actually there. Yes,
it's White Sox Angels. Don't know if Mike Harmon was
able to make it down notable White Sox fan here
at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
But yeah, a tough tough tickets he went down there.
They let him sit in the dugout.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, Harmon's batting. What's going on here? Packers quarterback Jordan
Love limited a practice with his knee injury. No practice
for Texans running back Joe Mixon. The Rams did not
place Cooper Cup on injured reserve, despite the fact that
Cup could miss multiple weeks because of that ankle injury.
Two time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning one of one
hundred and sixty seven modern era players now that have
(32:50):
been nominated for an Enshrime inn into the Hall of
Fame class of twenty twenty five, and the seventy six
ers in City of Philadelphia have reached the agreement to
bil new arena in downtown Philadelphia, pending city Council approval.
The new facility would cost an estimated one point five
billion dollars and would open in twenty thirty one.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Welcome back to the show, Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio.
Hope you're having a great week so far. This National
Cheeseburger Day, National Cheeseburger in Paradise though, is that Rich?
Iowa Sam? Jeez, we got the best squad man, Iowa
Sam bringing it. Danny G's the best in the game.
Super I was saying, Iowa Sam is quintessential. I was
(35:04):
Sam today. If you were to ever meet our great
board op and producer, I was Sam. Yeah. It's wearing
a free iheartshirt and a WAYNS world that Yeah today
is you? Yeah, thank you, Thank you very much, playing
some great sound effects, playing some great music. Do your thing,
Iowa Sam. Spotty's on the videos getting ready for Midweek Major.
The biggest stories in sports and pop culture? Are they
(35:25):
midweek or major? We do it every Wednesday and Rich
before we talk cheeseburgers on National Cheeseburger I mean, I
can't wait. I just wanted to say that I love
your that you're getting fired up about baseball again because
there's so much football action going on. But I love
the moves that are being made. I saw Marcus Stroman
warming up in the bullpen yesterday. You're seeing the teams
getting ready, you know what I mean. Just yeah, you
(35:47):
start making adjustments. But I don't know if you saw this.
I thought it was kind of cool. I just want
to point it out. Wan Soto reached like four milestones
with one home run yesterday. What were they? He hit
his fortieth. His fortieth also happened to be his two hundredth.
His two hundredth also happened to be what completed a
home run in every major League ballpark in Seattle. That's awesome.
(36:11):
And it also marked the first time Yankees had two
forty home run hitters him and Judge since Mantle Maris.
He did all that with one home run. Though. Kind
of cool, but again, just thinks to get excited about
as October, Like you said, the adjustments you start to
see closer. Yeah, Danny, you're saying it with the Dodgers too.
(36:33):
You wonder what back end relievers, I'm sorry, what back
end of the rotation guys, become relieved. What speedsters they
call up that could play a major par in the postseason,
but they always that guy start seeing like the Mets
called up I call him Little Acuna. Yeah, oh yeah,
he already hit a bomb. Little Acuna is the bomb.
He is the bomb. Does a guy like that make
the postseason roster? If they make it in you start wondering,
(36:55):
like there's always that spark plug you go the hot hand.
You know there are guys, the guys that have been
with the team in the bullpen or you know, the
fourth or fifth outfielder that don't necessarily make that twenty
five twenty six man postseason roster. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
For the Dodgers, Gavin Stone, it was just announced that
he's most likely done for the season. That injury riddled
pitching staff for the Dodgers is insane when you look
at how many pitchers have gone down. They lost Glass
now for the rest of the season, and they're talking
about maybe having Otani pitch in the Postseason's.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
The other thing I was getting to that Yamamota, you
number one guy or no. Right now he would be
is edging toward fifty to fifty right he's forty eight
forty eight. Yep, and they're talking about him out of
the bullpen. So you're seeing that postseason scramble auditions for
certain players. It's just a great time and it gets
you fired up because again, football excites you. I know
(37:49):
it's your favorite, but those little things that are starting
to happen gets you invested again. And again, what guys
are back for the playoffs may have missed most of
the year, Like not just because it's my Mets, but
Cody Senga is a legitimate ace in the National League,
and the Mets have not had him all year. Remember
he had one start and in that one start he
(38:11):
was pitching lights out and then hurt his leg. Sweet Ace,
I mean said you love a good sweet Ace Now
from the tire rack dot Com studios. Again, we're Cavino
and Rich and while we get excited about baseball, I
also want you to start thinking about your favorite cheese burger.
All right, your your number one spot, your number one
chain spot me when it comes to cheese spot, No
(38:33):
like chain burger places. I don't want to hear about
your local Bart's Burger, Bart's Burger and Poughkeepsie's Break. I
don't care where it is, but nobody knows it but
you and people in your hometown, so we can all
get Well, we'll talk about burgers, because who doesn't only
talk about food as well? So cho chos, we'll talk
(38:53):
about cheesebager chaeseburger coming up. We're also more NFL spots
got midweek Major But I said, I have a gripe
with Major Leaue Baseball, so let me get this off
my mind and we'll move along back to football and
other stuff. The question is simply this, who is accountable
when obvious blown calls are made? I've seen three of
(39:15):
them in the last twenty eight to forty eight hours,
and I get it. Guy does the little headphone movement
from the dugout coach replay. We're gonna go to New
York for the replay. Three plays were Garbaggio and they
were all wrong. And I'm wondering to myself, who is
accountable when they say, all right, uh, it's clear that
(39:38):
he was safe. Mcoll stands, who was out? Are we
just trusting some bonehead in a replay center? I want explanations.
The fans deserve it. You watch one hundred and sixty
two of these stupid things. No one's accountable, and like
you're saying, like, who's the guy in New York? They
go to, like, we want to know there was two
(39:58):
yesterday and the third, but and yesterday or two days ago.
But it has to be like irrefutable though. Number one, right,
Altuve hits a foul ball off his foot. Yeah, they're saying,
didn't hit his foot. Go to the replay, No, didn't
hit his foot. Altuv gets thrown out because he takes
his shoe and sock off to try to show the
(40:19):
umpire like, look, my foot is bruised. I got hit
the foot. I thought they threw himut because he had
ugly feet. Yeah, those feet, get out of here. You're
out here. Those ugly feet made him sniff a sock. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I thought you were gonna say he finally took his
jersey off. No, he won't take his jersey.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Of you that he's not hiding anything in his shoes, Danny,
So Altuve blown call number one. Clearly, the ball goes
off his foot. Yeah, he's in pain. And of course
you're you're thinking yourself, well, what's the point. Why why
go to the video, Why go to the replay? Why
go to New York. If they're not going to get
it right, that's the point of replay. I get it.
The point of replay is to get it right. If
you don't get it right, we all get it is
(40:54):
the butt. So if we all get it, Yeah, where's
the answers? Who do we punch in the face? This
is what ross to Trey Turner slides into second base.
Oh he doesn't just slide. They miss him by a mile.
Go to the replay center out, where's the tag play number?
(41:17):
You have to it has to be convincing. It has
to be obvious play number three. Yeah. Profar in a
tight game against the Astros, extra innings inside pitch now
they want him up there for the pitching matchup. They're saying,
ball hits him. He gets out of the way. The
(41:37):
ball comes nowhere close to hitting. I mean you could
clearly see the ball does not It was closed, but
it didn't hit him. Profar right, go to the replay
center in New York after further review, the ball hit him.
Take for his miss? Yeah, like how was that? What?
I guess what Rich is saying is he wants answers.
(41:58):
You really just want to face to punch and but
who's face do we punch when we know you got
it wrong? Everybody knows you. Now, how do you explain
that I loved it as a Mets fan hoping the
Padres lost On the next play, Manny Machado grounded out
for an inning and game ending out, but Profar should
have been in the batter's box. So my question to everyone,
(42:20):
it's more of a question to no one, I guess,
because who is accountable when you get a call wrong
in baseball, football, basketball, when replays there for a reason
and it's still wrong, who is held accountable? If you
f up at your job, you're accountable. If you who's
to replay? Like if I just spilled If I spilled
hot coffee all over the microphones and they short it out,
(42:41):
who's responsible? We know? We know Elias is at the
sports bureau. Who's at the review center? Some drabbroni that
keeps making mistakes. You don't have to answer that question.
I'll answer the question. We want to know. I want
to know. I think it's a great question, rich, So
I want the truth. Clearly, I'm not going to get
an answer, So I'm talking to the air like everyone else.
(43:03):
But last night baseball just really disappointed. Great, great run
at the playoffs, but when you miss three calls in
New York at the Review Center, something's got to change,
all right. We got more Coveno and Rich next right here,
