Baseball's heating up, and we gotta go over all the
(01:28):
games this weekend, which I know you're still recovering from Rich.
I'm telling you, man, I feel like like the NFL
is drunk. That's my take to start the show. The
NFL is either high, take up like a cartoon.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, home home on the range.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You gotta be like a like a cartoon. Play yeah,
like a cartoon. Hoboat a little with my laundry and
a stick exactly. I think the funniest comment was from
one of our listeners, Chris Benson. Chris Benson says, can
you imagine that Rich actually rolled out his extra TV
this weekend? You know how he brags about his extra
TV so that he could watch an extra game in full,
(02:08):
he goes Rich really rolled out an extra TV just
to watch that miserable ending for his forty.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I put that on the big one, the screen game
of the week. I rolled out an extra TV just
to watch that game was ultimately frustrating.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'm not like as a Niner, I'm not too like nervous,
but I'm more just like mad that they lost it. Yeah. No,
it's not like a make or break post season's over.
That was just weak to me. It just rereaked of
a game you had in complete control the whole time,
the whole time. You know when you see those projected
(02:44):
winner charts standing literally the whole time.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Until the end. Yo, damn, that's that Rich.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know, who hasn't led at all anytime in any
game Miami.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't think they've led in any game yet. Yeah, Rich,
your Niners were in control all that game, almost the
whole time.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And the one win that the Dolphins got was at
the buzzer against Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I was wondering how that's possible.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, that was like the fun stat But yeah, the
forty nine ers, you know those charts where it shows
projected winner the forty nine ers one looks like a
mountain range. All of a sudden, it's like the Grand Canyon,
like like down in the final second of the game.
Terribly embarrassing loss for the forty nine ers because I
(03:28):
would say, well, not equally as embarrassing, but pretty weak.
How the Falcons lost as well, It's like, how do
they not call that on the Chiefs again?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Even more blatant at the end of that game.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But lots of random games, yeah, lots of surprises.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Like Rich said, it seems like the NFL is drunk.
I'll let him explain. I think that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The forty nine ers, Well, there's other games to start with,
but I'll start there because as bad as that was,
there were some good takeaways, and I thought the good
take aways with that. Brock Purty played fantastic might have
been one of his best games ever. Rock Purdy was unbelievable,
and he set that team up to win. I don't
care about the fact that there was no debo McCaffrey Kittle.
(04:13):
Rock Purty played like an NFL quarterback that should have
came away with a W. And that is what everyone
always questions, like, well, he's go out the weapons. Rock
Purty should have won that game. Not his fault. Ronnie
Bell stinks and should already be cut.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Not his fault.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, he made use of Jennings ay Yuk like, he
used what he had and he used it well. He
played well, he threw for two ninety two to three tuddies.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
It wasn't on him.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Starting to worry about Ayuk. I think I saw him
on a milk carton that's missing. Where is the guy
that he demanded this big money. He's still on the
sideline fighting with the rams. What is going on?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So he was pretty pissed off at the end of
that game.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
That was a game that as a Niner shed I'm
not too worried about, because you know, you hope to
be at full strength down the stretch, but.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You know, little little losses like that add up.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think the biggest surprise to me might be Danny
G's Raiders, because I thought they had something going for
a second. And hey, it's like I say every week
sometimes we played down to the compet two shoes. I
was befuddled and shocked, and I'm like, Andy Dalton, this
might be even easier for you guys.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, and Andy.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Dalton look like the guy we saw at a Bengals
uniform a decade ago.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You want to talk about inconsistent. In Week one, the
Raiders held Justin Herbert to one hundred and forty four yards.
And then yesterday Andy Dalton he looked like Andy Dalton
of twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. He threw some really nice
pass He was throwing dimes all over there. Yeah, he
was leading his receivers receivers open.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Perfectly dropping it right. Yeah. Zone.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
We can't say enough about how focused in he was.
And you could say what you want about the Raiders.
He did look good though, Rich, No, he did, and
that's a pretty good defense. I know Max Crosby was
banged up and not himself, but next guy up man.
The Raiders did not have any pass rushers having any
success yet yesterday, and then on offense, Minshewt threw that
fifty four yard dime of his own and tied it
(06:06):
up seven to seven. And I'm like, all right, it's
gonna be a little bit of a dog fight.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
But what we saw with Andy Dalton is the team
follows their quarterback's personality, and Andy Dalton inspired the whole team.
They were Adam Archiletta on the broadcast said when it
was Bryce Young, he was dejected at QB and the
whole team kind of was dejected.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Aside from his three hundred and nineteen yards and three touchdowns.
Can I just compliment that sweet fade? He has the
sweetest ginger fade in all the land. I gotta pub
one ginger fad and it's the number one ginger frag Never
seen bolder with a better face, seriously, like, I'm always
impressed by it. So he was looking slick, he was
looking crispy. But you can say what you want about
the Raiders. He really did look good. Rich I was like, wow, yeah,
(06:50):
but I don't know. It just shows you the NFL
is drunk. Well, like I said, just it's there's something
like the fact that justin fields is three and zero.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Russell Wilson's never going to see the field no way.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Andy Dalton the only quarterback so far after three weeks
that has three hundred plus yards passing and three touchdowns
in a game. Only Andy Dalton, who saw that come.
NFL is drunk the most yards by a quarterback in
one game. Caleb Williams is in a losing effort, Like
what is going on? The Seahawks are three to zero,
two games up on the Niners. Can graduations, Dan Bayer,
(07:24):
I mean, could it be could it be coaching that
just some good coaching adjustments, Maybe Pete Carroll had worn
out his welcome and I or have the Seahawks not
played anyone worthy yet?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
dB?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I think that I think that all of that is true.
But to the to the last point of beat who
you're supposed to beat, a lot of teams aren't doing
that in the NFL. Preciseconiers didn't do it, the Raiders
didn't do it yesterday. To that point, I can't knock
Seattle for being three at zero considering that they have
done things that others can't.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Right now, and you know what looks you know, I mean,
I'm I'm a schedule watcher. I know it's a couple
of week away, but you know, it seems to be
a pretty awesome game, like and it's weeks away, not
this week, not the week after. The forty nine Ers
play on a Thursday night against the Seahawks in a
couple of weeks, and that might be a statement game
(08:15):
for your team or the Niners trying to bounce back
after this rough one and two starts. So that Seattle
Seahawks forty nine Ers game, I believe it's Thursday, October tenth.
That Gino Smith to DK metcalf combo is dangerous if
they if they're on you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What was it? What do you throw for a seventy
seven yard pass? Seventy one yard pass? Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Just playing nice Thursday October tenth. It's a couple of
weeks away, but that forty nine er Seahawks game could
be something.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Seahawks schedule gets a lot difficult next week they're part
of the Monday night doubleheader. They are at Detroit next week,
so it does tough enough. But again, you want to
bank these wins now because I think nine gets you
in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, and you know what, Dan Buyer, Interestingly enough, you
said the Lions they won yesterday. But when we talked
about Sam Donald and I showed support, like, you know,
they're not gonna be as bad as you think. I
didn't think this was gonna happen, but I was. I
was on the Sam Donald's gonna be better than you
think bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I felt it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I was like they still got the weapons, Sam Donald,
like don't count this guy out. He's got a decent
ginger fight. I'm not quite Dalton, it's like close, not
even in the bomb park, but you know, I gotta
give it credit. But no one on planet Earth was
talking about how Caleb was gonna have a rough star.
The Bears aren't looking good at all. People thought when
(09:35):
Jordan Love went down, the Packers might as well call
to day.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Malik Willis looked like a man on a mission.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, none of it makes sense, and it just goes
to show you you really don't know. As we keep
proving the point over and over again every week, the
NFL is surprising you, and it goes to our original
point that we've said a million times. You really don't
have a great feel until week eight. Is that why
from six to eight the ratings are in an all
time high? Like can you look at the NFL and say,
not only is it just a great product like a
(10:06):
good drama on HBO or Showtime or Netflix.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Teams don't you guess it? Like you don't know what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Teams taking other teams lightly, it's styles making fights like
we always say, it's a matchup, Maybe it's maybe we
just forget that all these guys are NFL level to
all these guys have potential to beat you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
And every team is in it because the oh and
two teams yesterday they all went six and one.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So the teams had the teams they went into yesterday
oh and two. Bottom of the marrow. We're six and
one was a big narrative on the old red zone
with Scott Hansen. That was one of the most notable storylines.
For sure, none of it makes sense, but again, those
teams are.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Due to win.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
On Friday when we were going over our picks, I'll
pat myself on the back because I claimed my losses,
so I'll claim my wins. My solar power parlay hit nicely.
Remember we said it was like bet one hundred win
like four hundred eagles, just scrape by Lion and Chiefs.
But I remember talking about what do you think the
the locks are and Cavino, which of these do you
(11:06):
think is a no brainer? I jumped on the Jets,
and knowing Cavino is all about y'all buccaneers man at.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Home, I did think that, but I went with the Jets.
Yet that was not our pool.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
When I asked you on the air, you were you
were saying, like, Yo, there's no way the Bucks are
at home and come on, there's no way they'll lose.
I'm not denying it. I'm just saying, as far as
they're lock and key, I went with the Jets, But
I did. I did think that the Buccaneers were gonna win.
I'm not alone. That was one of the big surprises
for sure. So they're one of the what was it
six teams that went down Danny g I thought Nicks
(11:38):
was bo Nicks coming out party in but in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Bow Knicks and Daniel Jones, who thought the joke. He's
been the joke of the league lately, Daniel Jones was
gonna throw all those touchdown passes to neighbors.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Joke in the league, unless, of course he's dating k Adams,
which we don't know, right, Isn't that the rumor?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And he'd be like, that's that's the rumor.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm not spreading any rumors.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, in another surprise yesterday, And of course we haven't
even talked about the frustration levels in Dallas, Like how
embarrassing that is? You pay DAK and they lose to
the Ravens the way they did, the frustrations on the
sidelines not looking good for the Cowboys. But again you
could also say, well, the Ravens had to win eventually, right,
(12:21):
somebody seems to have to win eventually. At least the
Cowboys fought to the very end. They did, but they
go down both one and two. Now, so that leads
us to our doubleheader tonight. Will there be another three
and oh team by the end of tonight or more surprises?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Pick your you know, make your guesses before the end
of the show, think about it, and pick your two
team parlay for tonight, because I don't know if I
have any question rich of all the three and O teams, right,
and let's say the Bills win tonight and they're three
and oh, which ones are the most legit? Chiefs easily
still believing in them, even though Kelsey's.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Chiefs chiefs and the reps are just the chiefs Kansas City.
I mean, you say chiefs.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I think they got two lucky calls in two back
to back weeks. Three weeks.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Seriously on the end was legit though, that was but
that was close.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But yesterday that was a total missed call. Once again.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So Steelers, Chiefs, Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, the Bills. Of those
undefeated teams that the Bills went tonight, the Chiefs still
the team to beat. I guess well, let me let
me hit you up with to show you how confusing
the NFL is.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
They are drunk.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
They they have points spreads out for this weekend. You
I don't try for the NFL. The most part, the
collective views, not only you Rich, I'm talking you in general,
a lot of drunkards out there letting people. I'm gonna
go looking at the next two weeks. The Vikings, who
are three to oh, are underdogs. The next two weeks
(13:58):
in the NFL, they're playing at Green Bay and then
they're playing the Jets in London, and looking ahead they're
underdogs in both of those games. So still the sentiment
is like, all right, Sam Darnold, that's great now, but
uh yeah, now you're gonna play the Packers and the Jets. Man,
So I mean you could blink and in two weeks,
I mean, and they're still underdogs.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Is that confirmed? Last I heard, he's still a little
banged up day to day.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, So, Matt Lafleur said today that he's going to
be limited in practice this week. But it's funny, guys,
because with Jordan Love and Justin Herbert last week. Herbert's
got that ankle injury. X ray's negative today. But they
have Vikings Packers Chiefs Chargers next week. The question is,
would you risk your guy in week three if he
(14:47):
maybe wasn't one hundred percent? Packers said, we'll go with
Malik Willis. We're fine with there. But the Chargers did
play Herbert and he ended up having to leave the game.
Now I feel that they're kind of behind the eight ball.
I think Green Bay is in a pretty good position
now in keeping Love out and not rushing him back
for the long season.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Looks like it smart. Looks smart now? It does it
really does?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They played well with ad him you let him said
twenty twenty. Yeah, I can't see them still being underdogs
though if he's not playing.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, Minnesota's defense is legit. I actually felt bad for
kind of discrediting them on your show last week, guys,
when we were talking about two and oh teams. Darnold's
getting the hype because I think it's a good story then,
and the points you make Rich are all valid. But
you hold c J. Stroud to seven points, you hold
that forty nine ers offense under twenty.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, like the down and they made the forty nine
ers look troubled on offense.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, that's a pretty.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Clip with just talking to Flora's like, you're like your
scheme ad, maybe it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yes, he was giving Flora's properly says a lot. Your
scheme's like nothing I've seen, And you're right, c J.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That was his first real Texas until the third quarter,
again proving that the NFL is drunk, like really, c J.
Stroud one of the greatest phenoms in the league right
now makes me go, hey, your observations, the things that
made you go hmmm, Week three of the NFL. Will
take your feedback. Next at eight, seven, seven, nine nine
(16:14):
on Fox, We got more.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Could be known Rich Next.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Now, there's one feeling in sports, it's better than anything.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's that electric buzz of game day all around you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And when you're looking for that same vibe, you have
to check out Graduate hotels. A stay at Graduate is
like stepping onto the field in those college towns. And

Speaker 1 (17:45):
The Crown is yours? Did you say offering? I did?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
We got Ryan on the ones and twos. Rich don't
know Wu Tang. He knows nothing about Wu Tang. He
knows Spin Doctors. That's Danny J. He's on the ones
and twos as well on the phone super producing eight
seven A ninety nine on Fox. Danna, if you want
to say Spin Doctors, I was a little miscam't be
wrong with my parlay on Friday.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You were good one three. I like that.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Rich will be here till Thursday. Yeah, because on Fridays
in Alabama DV he's.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Getting ready for the updates spots on the videos with
Elijah at Covino and Rich again.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I said it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Scott Hansen really was driving this home. Danny G mentioned
it the whole story to prove your point, Rich that
the NFL is drunk. None of it makes sense. More
drunk than you were this weekend teams that were owing
to teams that you thought had no shot because they
were stinking like Abe Link and teams that were owing
to this past weekend went six and one yesterday. They
all won except for the Titans, who are still owing three.
(18:41):
So it's very unpredictable. But again it's the NFL. There's
still great athletes. They could beat you any given Sunday
as it goes matchups. Again, that plays a major part.
Injuries plays a major part. And sometimes something Danny g
often likes to point out, you played down to your
(19:01):
competition and then you play up.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But that's not good.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Sometimes first year coaches are throwing schemes at you that
you are unfamiliar with.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's a little bit of all that.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Seattle's three and oh Dan Bayer said, you gotta win
the games on your schedule that you're quote supposed to
win if you want to be a playoff team, And
the Seahawks are doing just that. Because he's right, the
Seahawks other than the Giants in a couple of weeks,
and hey, you don't know how the Giants will rule you.
Shout out the Seahawks two. Because you think Geno Smith
is old because he's been around for so long. I
(19:30):
think we think of him. Rich and I were on
TV in New York City, which feels like a million
years ago, and Gino Smith was the story in the
UK and Geno Smith was the story for the Jets.
We were on TV in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen in
New York, so talk remember when his teammate punched him
in the Jaws. Yeah, so we've been talking about him
for that long. He's still only thirty three years old.
(19:51):
So I mean, he's playing great. He's got some great
weapons there. Maybe they are legit, we don't know. But
the Seahawks three and oh is great for them because
they do have the Lions Giants. Like I said, who knows.
Then the Niners, Falcons, Bills. So you're gonna rams Niners again.
You'll find out real quick. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
And by the way, to show how the the NFL
world is just fun and crazy. Like you said, zero
(20:13):
and two teams went six and one this weekend. That's
what made it feel like such a surprise. Like what
offense is way down for quarterbacks, which we've talked about
last week. The hottest quarterback in the league right now,
Sam Donald. He doesn't have quite the redheaded fade is
Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
No, but he's great. He's playing great. You see the
headline that he's shooting his shot with Hawk to a girl.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
No really, no Vikings QB Sam Donald seemingly shoots his shot.
He's liking all her content and then he's putting heart emojis.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Wow. Donald wants a little hawk.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
To actually, hey, you know what you're You're three now
on top of the world.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I think he deserves it, you know, I do think,
But what do I know?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Right? This is just my opinion from what I see
in twenty second increments on red zone. Yeah, I think
Seattle's legit. But then again, I felt that the past
year plus because they've been good for a minute, then
they sort of fall off.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
If you ever want to cover my house, we could
pick what gets on the big team. I know, I know,
and I think I think the Vikings are legit.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I really do. Well, you know, I think it's all
about that defense. So you know what, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Things that made you go hmmm, things that make you go,
things that make you go.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Now, these are your major takeaways. This is when we
open it up and we go to you Fox Sports
Radio Nation, your chance to chime in, be part of
the show. We appreciate you listening. We like to get
you involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox And
if you're busy, hit us up at Covino and Rich
on social media, check our clips and tell us what
made you go hmm? What stood out to you, what
(21:52):
made you go hmmmm? As we get ready for a
doubleheader tonight that pumped out, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
What made me go.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Maybe go is the Saints, who put up multiple forty
spots to start the year, came up short.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Against the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Eagles found the way to win that game, but that
offense just came installed. That offense for New orleanstalled, and
that game was I called that game redemption for Saquon Barkley.
He lost them a game and he had to win
them back one. I just felt like just watching that
game because I did have money on it, and it
was a game I was keeping my eyes on two
(22:30):
big teams that people enjoy. Eagles always good in prime
time and you know game of the week type of scenarios.
But that game was sort of boring. Yeah, low scoring game,
most three nothing at halftime. I'm like, what is going on?
It was one of those games, so I was shocked
at Seattle. I'm sorry the Saints couldn't find a way
to put up any points whatsoever. I'll give you one
more and then I'll hand it over to you, your boy.
(22:52):
Baker Mayfield sacked I believe seven plus times or at
least seven times. Just a bad game for the Buccaneers.
He was going to talk it up to that or
did I just thought it was just one of those
bad games. They couldn't figure it out, couldn't find a rhythm.
Broncos stepped up, made him look bad. I don't think
the Buccaneers aren't that bad. They just didn't play well.
But lots of takeaways. I got some thoughts. But let's
(23:14):
go to yours at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
We do this every Monday. Your chance to chime in
things that made you go hmm? Who is starting with
Sam in Miami Way?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Sam?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Okay, how you doing guys?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Thanks for taking my call. I think it's about time
somebody said something about all stinky and ridiculous that golfing
game was.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, you know, there's there's a part of me that
he said stinky Stan empathetic. It was stinky Tim Boyle.
No offense to Tim Boyle or Skylar Thompson. There's just
so many quarterbacks out there that with Tua gone for
the foreseeable future. I don't know if it's Mike McDaniel
or ownership or leadership there that are saying no, no, let's
(23:58):
stick with what we have. I only feel like that
team is urgently in the need of a move where
like tomorrow Dan Byer's like breaking news guys, and they
picked up someone via trade or or something though that
they can't go half to see if Tua doesn't play
again or doesn't play for half the year, you can't
roll Tim Boyle out for the next five weeks and
think you're gonna be in any type of race.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
They did sign Tyler Huntley from the Ravens practice squad
last week, but it also then just shows the lack
of awareness of the Dolphins this offseason. That Number one,
they thought Skyler Thompson was good enough, and before he
went out with that chest injury, they were not good enough.
And that b when you have Tua in his situation
before he even suffered the concussion, to not be this prepared.
(24:39):
They could make a deal. But they yeah, they did
not look good yesterday. Again that little fun fact.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
They get all my news courtesy of memes, so they
got to be true. They had the best total offense
in the NFL regular season last year, but this season the.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Only team in the NFL to not hold the lead
for a.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Single second this season until like we said at the
end of there, yeah, one win.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, the one win.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Just to me, the offense is just playing lane. That
that made me go hmm, and I'm listening. There's something
about being too prepared. There's something about being unprepared. What
happened when the Falcons drafted Michael Pennock's junior Everyone's like,
what would you do that you just gave Kirk because
with all that money, morons like you know, No, it's
pretty nice nowadays in this current NFL to have multiple
(25:24):
quarterbacks that you feel confident playing the position because outside
of Tua, he must have dazzled in uh, you know,
mini camps and stuff. Because Skylett Thompson on the field
does not look good like you. I was like at
the box one like Swaddel or Tyreek even got touches
a couple catches each. Always have a quality backup in
life as well or just in football.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's like having like it. You don't kind of have
like a nice gumat on the side.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
What you gotta have a Janie Rossi to go to
just in case, just when you're a team of that
of that level that is expecting playoffs. Let's be honest,
everyone outside of New England and that division wanted and
thinks that they are a playoff caliber team. You know
what makes me say, you already touched on it, but
it really does makes me go, hmmm, the fact that
(26:10):
the Steelers are three and oh obviously, but the whole
quarterback situation, like what do they do with Russell Wilson now?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
For real?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Like it went from.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Such a storyline to what now we're forgetting about them
and we're just moving forward. Like I didn't even hear
a peep the past few days about Russell Wilson and
what they're gonna do or how he's feeling here.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
You know, I haven't heard it, Jack did.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
We went from here and back and forth about him
and Field to dead least squat about him. That makes
me say, now, if I mean, I feel like ever
since Roethlisberger came out and spoke out and said, nah,
you gotta stick with fields. That's been the decision and
that's what it is moving forward after three and O.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You you can't go to Russell Wilson. I mean, I
almost feel like it was a set. I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'll tell you when we almost feel like him and
Tomlin had a little talking. I'm gonna tell you when
we're gonna go to Sammy Wilson. You want to want
to hear one, Yeah, please do, because there's no way
they're making that move now.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Three.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
No, they play the Colts, their favorite, Then they play
the Cowboys. You might take an l there because it's
you know, primetime game, it's on Sunday night. Then the
Raid is, then the Jets. They play the Giants, which
they should handle. The Commanders. They have a favorable schedule
for now. If he goes five hundred over the next
(27:17):
four and they're five and two, you're not pulling them.
I think you get to a point hand pull them
because at least he's playing well. They're not lighting it
up by any means. But he's gonna learn as it goes,
he's gonna get better. No one's gonna want to throw
Russell Wilson in the mix. That's just a weird storyline
to me. So that makes me say, hmm, the more
the Steelers win, the more well, that's just what it is.
(27:42):
That question has been answered.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Interesting enough, right, more things that made you go.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But then I wonder Rich, I wonder how hurt he
had to be to sacrifice his starting job like that.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
He must have been hurt enough.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You know, you see guys walking around and the illusion
is like, who don't look bad to me. There's a
big difference of walking around the sideline goofing around like like,
I had to remind myself of this because I saw
Francisco Lindor taking VP laughing with his teammates. I'm like,
you gotta play the six games left, Lindor. If you
can smile on the dugout, you could play. And then
(28:15):
I'm thinking, oh, that's not true at all. I mean,
I'm being the idiotic fan when I see you know,
when you see like your favorite players in street clothes
laughing and having fun. Hold on, there's a big difference
between that and taking a hit over the middle from
brought up Lindor though, okay, because Lindor the announcement was
about Francisco Lindor the baseball player Riches Mets, was that
he's gonna come back, but limited, like he's not going
(28:37):
on on a limited basis. Wasn't that what Dan Byer
was reporting about Russell Wilson. Remember we called them mister
Limited because he was limited. So he went from limited
to like not even an option. But I mean, and
I can't, like I said, if you in West Pittsburgh collapses,
there's no real window. It's not like they're playing. It's
if the Steelers are playing the Chiefs. You know, Chiefs, Niners, Lions, Eagles,
(29:03):
all these teams in I say, are you're gonna get
some l's? But their face, their favorable schedule makes it
feel like Field.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Is not going anywhere. I'm saying he gave up his
starting gig. That's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You know where I think the ultimate table turned on
Russell Wilson with the Steelers is when he was getting
clowned because he suited up in Week one and people
didn't People didn't realize the new rules in the NFL
where even if he's inactive as the emergency quarterback, he
could come in the game. So you needed to be
dressed up like people thought that he was just trying
(29:33):
to be one of the guys.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You know what, but I sit here, I sit here
with you Monday through Friday knowing that, and I still
laughed about that because people want to clown us.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yes, yes, that's maybe put on his shoulder pads.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
How cute you can get a load of this guy.
Steelers have a reputation, they have a pride about them.
They're probably yeah, we're better off of fields at this point.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
So Sierra Sierra is. It's currently on Zillo trying to
figure things out well.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
And by the way, Fox Sports Radio Nation Covino and
Rich not hating on anybody.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm rooting for all these dudes to do well.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'm just wondering what's really going on there, because I
don't think you're taking fields out at this point.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Now, let's go to dB for an update. What's going
on Dan Bayer, guys.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
A bunch of news coming in from Week three of course.
Week three NS tonight with the doubleheader between the Jaguars
and Bills at seven thirty eastern in Buffalo and Cincinnati.
The Bengals are home to the Commanders eight fifteen Eastern,
now the Vikings and Packers will play a Week four.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold expected to start. An MRI showed
no structural damage to his injured left knee. The NFL
(30:39):
network says it's a bone bruise, so expect Donald to
go on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
As for Jordan Love, wait, hold on, Dan, does this
anything about hawk to a girl on that off?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
He did not.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Packers quarterback Jordan Love will be limited this week, according
to his head coach Matt Lafleur. Of course, Love trying
to come back from that knee injury. Chargers are banged
up quarterback and Herbert did have an X ray on
the ankle negative. He was pulled from yesterday's game against
the Steelers because of that high ankle sprain. It's an
MCL sprain for first round pick and rookie tackled Joe
(31:11):
Alt for the Chargers. NFL network says he's going to
miss some time, so don't expect him to play against
the Chiefs in Week four. Rams wide receiver Cooper Cup's
already been ruled out of Week four in Chicago because
of his ankle injury. While the Lions are a bit
banged up they got good news on Sam Laporta is
the tight end is day to day with a sprained ankle.
Was carted off yesterday but did return to the game.
(31:31):
They play a week from tonight against the three and
O Seahawks, but the Lions lost edge rusher Marcus Davenport
for the season because of an elbow injury, and the
Brown said that tough loss to the Giants yesterday. Miles
Garrett's gonna have an MRI on his injured feet and
legs after having to leave the game, while guard Wyatts
Heller is out at least four weeks because of a
sprain knee, according to the NFL Network. A couple of
(31:51):
other quick notes. The Action Network reported earlier today that
Condego was leaving the West Coast Conference to join the
PAC twelve. Multiple reports have now said that that report
is entirely accurate that they are saying discussions continue to
go on between the two sides. That's from Yahoo Sports,
in CBS Sports, Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA all committing
to the American Athletic Conference while air Force is gonna
(32:13):
stay in the Mountain West. The Raptors announced are going
to retire Vince Carter's number fifteen jersey.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
At a game in early November. Guys, back to.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
You, thank you, dB Dan.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I know you don't have every sports fact in front
of you, but any update on McCaffrey. Is it the
four weeks because they had to put him on the
pup list and then he'll be back for week five
or is it gonna I'm sorry on ir is it
a are they looking at even possibly more or is
McCaffrey like gonna be good to go week five.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
I have not heard any updates from that.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
When you when you google news it, the last article
was like a week ago, like, no one's really keeping
up with the McCaffrey.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Sure, sure, sure, and at that point too, with the
injured reserve, you're gonna have to make a roster situation.
But yeah, considering he's gonna miss those four games, I
think everybody's gonna wait for those four games to come
through and then.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Because based on the based on you know, Kittle and
Debo being week to week. If you're a Niners fan,
if you knew, I all right, one more week without McCaffrey,
then we get him back. That's a nice feeling for
a forty nine Ers fan, but no real updates, which
means this this lingering injury for him, it seems like
a real pain in the ask.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah. Yeah, ude, what They've got the Patriots next week, right,
that's the.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Whole If they can't win that game, I retire. I
think sure, Sure, and then is it the Cardinals and
then thank you guys, Seahawks on a Thursday night. So
maybe he comes back for that Thursday night against the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, fresh, Gosh, it wouldn't make a lot of sense
to do it in a short week because then you
could give him the whole week and a half the
next week to come back when you have the Chiefs
in the Super Bowl rematch.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
But yeah, I don't have any information on him though.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
All Right, thank you Dan Buyer for the update. All Right,
we got more Coveno and Rich. We get your phone calls.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, I drop a fun fact on you. That's not
so fun.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Sure, totally off the football train of thought. But you said,
Golden Bachelorette. I read an article take with that's what
you will. Maybe you need to have a talk about
your parents are your neighbors. Sti's are at an all
time high among boomers. Apparently they say that for years,
but more than ever they're saying like, but they're saying
(35:37):
like it's unbelievable, like our parents generation is get it
on the care.
Speaker 1 (35:45):

Hope you enjoyed the fights. And now we go to
your phone. Now let's say how to Riley in Idaho? Riley,
what made you go hm week three of the NFL?
Speaker 7 (36:31):
Well, no, I'm I'm a Hawks fan. So it was,
you know, kind of a it's nice to sit back
and get it move going up, just because the Dolphins
looked awful on so many different levels. But I was
just calling. I wanted to ask you guys. You were
talking about the Dolphins and originally and then you kind
of went to the Steelers in the Russell Wilson situation,
do you guys think it's possible that they could send
(36:54):
Russell to Miami?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
I thought that I.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Just want to wonder about stuff like that. Who absorbs money?
Does someone have to pay? Like don't you feel like
Russell Wilson would be a guy that could play that
sort of system and fill in where Tua left off.
I think so that's why I think there's more there,
Like what's going on there? But a big butt? I
know you like big butts. I do like a big butt.
Wan did the Steelers just take a look at the
league and be like, wait a minute, we have an
(37:18):
advantage that we actually have someone to go to if
fields goes down, that you're filling in the problem for
someone else that you hope doesn't happen to you, right right,
Like the Steelers might say, yeah, they have a we
have a great problem, you know, the backup exactly. Mike
in Virginia, you're on with sen r Hey, Mike.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Thanks.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
What makes me go what makes me go home is
the fact that the pillies and the no pillies that
recalled not just this past lead but the past but
all season long, first three weeks, particularly the mauling of
Kyle Plitz last night with the chief you know receiver
that's was a blatant passion appearance, but it wasn't called.
And this has happened not this week, but it's been
(37:59):
like all the season so far. I don't know what
the referees are blind. Have they got forgotten the glasses.
I don't know, but it's just really disappoints me how
bad the referee calling is this season.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Agreed, and that's and that's and that's a big play.
Right in the end zone. Pits is clearly essentially being tackled.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
He wrapped before the balls even there no question, no
question about it. So yeah, I completely agree with you, man,
that was whack.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Let's go to No, that's good. Well, that's well, that's good.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Okay, Yeah, we'll take the rest of your phone calls
to eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox again at
Covino and Rich. Your takeaways. Things that made you go, hm,
what's sit out to you? Could be about anything. It
doesn't have to be about football either. It could be
about baseball, Like, Yo, what if Otani beats Judge in
his home run race? That's the whole this story. Otani
(38:53):
has uh forget the six or six game. No one
will ever forget that, But forget it for a second.
There's a stat that's even more impressed to me, the
fact that he is I believe, fourteen for eighteen with
five home runs or something like so other ridiculous over
his last couple of games, like fourteen for eighteen. That
is better than little league numbers. That's better than numbers
(39:16):
when remember when your little league they count errors as hits,
I mean four, you had a weak ass scorekeeper. Yeah, well,
when little kids play, if a kid bobbles a ball ball,
he got a hit single.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I never counted that, just saying, oh, you're the greatest.
I doubt that.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I bet you.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
The fact that you bet at five oh five in
high school makes me think you had a Linien score. Gake,
you think they were giving me a gimme's and the
heights you know now that I think about it, Yeah, no,
that's five o five without a Linien.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Sure. Please. By the way, we were wondering somebody's hating.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
On the air last week. We were wondering if Osani
could get to fifty five fifty five. Right now he's
at fifty three fifty five.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, that makes me go, yeah, is that another benchmark?
Like why would you we only count by ten? So like,
is in fifty five fifty five freaking impressibly? This is
a mic from everyone impressive Mike Place one, He's like,
the only thing that makes fifty to fifty so impressive
is that it's a round number. He's it was impressive
when he was forty eight, forty eight, you know, it
(40:11):
was just as impressive.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
But it was like, yeah, the thirty thirty called for.
Now he's fifty to fifteen. Everyone moving forward is impressive.
It isn't wreaking a record. That's what makes it awesome.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
And it makes me say, you know, it's like, it's
like how stupid we all are that you have to
put your TV volume on an even number, yes, or
like a round number, like by fives, Like you.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Only bet in the lottery when it's above like five
hundred million. Oh, five million isn't enough for you? What's
the what's the power ball tonight? Only twenty nine million?
I'm not playing. You'll play when it's a billion. And yeah,
this logic that makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
And you're so right about the otani, Like fifty fifty
is just a beautiful number.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
So you tell me the next thing. If he's sixty.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Sixty, like fifty five fifty five, if we're counting by fives,
and that makes your ocd okay, fifty five to fifty
five would be insane, and he has six games to
do it.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
It would be great.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
And uh, some other things that made us go hmmm,
we'll take your phone calls, your feedback. Next eight seven,
seven ninety nine, Fox could have been about the fights
this week, and of course baseball with six games to go,
what are you looking to see? Because I'm telling you
there's two wildcard races that are insane and if you're
not paying attention, well, no better time than now to
(41:19):
start paying attention. The ALE and n A wildcard gonna
come down to the final week, so we'll get to
that and more NFL and some trivia right here Cove

(01:28):
games this weekend, which I know you're still recovering from Rich.
I'm telling you, man, I feel like like the NFL
is drunk. That's my take to start the show. The
NFL is either high, take up like a cartoon.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, home home on the range.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You gotta be like a like a cartoon. Play yeah,
like a cartoon. Hoboat a little with my laundry and
a stick exactly. I think the funniest comment was from
one of our listeners, Chris Benson. Chris Benson says, can
you imagine that Rich actually rolled out his extra TV
this weekend? You know how he brags about his extra
TV so that he could watch an extra game in full,
(02:08):
he goes Rich really rolled out an extra TV just
to watch that miserable ending for his forty.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I put that on the big one, the screen game
of the week. I rolled out an extra TV just
to watch that game was ultimately frustrating.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'm not like as a Niner, I'm not too like nervous,
but I'm more just like mad that they lost it. Yeah. No,
it's not like a make or break post season's over.
That was just weak to me. It just rereaked of
a game you had in complete control the whole time,
the whole time. You know when you see those projected
(02:44):
winner charts standing literally the whole time.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Until the end. Yo, damn, that's that Rich.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know, who hasn't led at all anytime in any
game Miami.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't think they've led in any game yet. Yeah, Rich,
your Niners were in control all that game, almost the
whole time.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
And the one win that the Dolphins got was at
the buzzer against Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I was wondering how that's possible.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, that was like the fun stat But yeah, the
forty nine ers, you know those charts where it shows
projected winner the forty nine ers one looks like a
mountain range. All of a sudden, it's like the Grand Canyon,
like like down in the final second of the game.
Terribly embarrassing loss for the forty nine ers because I
(03:28):
would say, well, not equally as embarrassing, but pretty weak.
How the Falcons lost as well, It's like, how do
they not call that on the Chiefs again?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Even more blatant at the end of that game.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But lots of random games, yeah, lots of surprises.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Like Rich said, it seems like the NFL is drunk.
I'll let him explain. I think that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The forty nine ers, Well, there's other games to start with,
but I'll start there because as bad as that was,
there were some good takeaways, and I thought the good
take aways with that. Brock Purty played fantastic might have
been one of his best games ever. Rock Purdy was unbelievable,
and he set that team up to win. I don't
care about the fact that there was no debo McCaffrey Kittle.
(04:13):
Rock Purty played like an NFL quarterback that should have
came away with a W. And that is what everyone
always questions, like, well, he's go out the weapons. Rock
Purty should have won that game. Not his fault. Ronnie
Bell stinks and should already be cut.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Not his fault.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, he made use of Jennings ay Yuk like, he
used what he had and he used it well. He
played well, he threw for two ninety two to three tuddies.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
It wasn't on him.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Starting to worry about Ayuk. I think I saw him
on a milk carton that's missing. Where is the guy
that he demanded this big money. He's still on the
sideline fighting with the rams. What is going on?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So he was pretty pissed off at the end of
that game.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
That was a game that as a Niner shed I'm
not too worried about, because you know, you hope to
be at full strength down the stretch, but.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You know, little little losses like that add up.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think the biggest surprise to me might be Danny
G's Raiders, because I thought they had something going for
a second. And hey, it's like I say every week
sometimes we played down to the compet two shoes. I
was befuddled and shocked, and I'm like, Andy Dalton, this
might be even easier for you guys.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, and Andy.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Dalton look like the guy we saw at a Bengals
uniform a decade ago.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You want to talk about inconsistent. In Week one, the
Raiders held Justin Herbert to one hundred and forty four yards.
And then yesterday Andy Dalton he looked like Andy Dalton
of twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. He threw some really nice
pass He was throwing dimes all over there. Yeah, he
was leading his receivers receivers open.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Perfectly dropping it right. Yeah. Zone.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
We can't say enough about how focused in he was.
And you could say what you want about the Raiders.
He did look good though, Rich, No, he did, and
that's a pretty good defense. I know Max Crosby was
banged up and not himself, but next guy up man.
The Raiders did not have any pass rushers having any
success yet yesterday, and then on offense, Minshewt threw that
fifty four yard dime of his own and tied it
(06:06):
up seven to seven. And I'm like, all right, it's
gonna be a little bit of a dog fight.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
But what we saw with Andy Dalton is the team
follows their quarterback's personality, and Andy Dalton inspired the whole team.
They were Adam Archiletta on the broadcast said when it
was Bryce Young, he was dejected at QB and the
whole team kind of was dejected.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Aside from his three hundred and nineteen yards and three touchdowns.
Can I just compliment that sweet fade? He has the
sweetest ginger fade in all the land. I gotta pub
one ginger fad and it's the number one ginger frag Never
seen bolder with a better face, seriously, like, I'm always
impressed by it. So he was looking slick, he was
looking crispy. But you can say what you want about
the Raiders. He really did look good. Rich I was like, wow, yeah,
(06:50):
but I don't know. It just shows you the NFL
is drunk. Well, like I said, just it's there's something
like the fact that justin fields is three and zero.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Russell Wilson's never going to see the field no way.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Andy Dalton the only quarterback so far after three weeks
that has three hundred plus yards passing and three touchdowns
in a game. Only Andy Dalton, who saw that come.
NFL is drunk the most yards by a quarterback in
one game. Caleb Williams is in a losing effort, Like
what is going on? The Seahawks are three to zero,
two games up on the Niners. Can graduations, Dan Bayer,
(07:24):
I mean, could it be could it be coaching that
just some good coaching adjustments, Maybe Pete Carroll had worn
out his welcome and I or have the Seahawks not
played anyone worthy yet?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
dB?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I think that I think that all of that is true.
But to the to the last point of beat who
you're supposed to beat, a lot of teams aren't doing
that in the NFL. Preciseconiers didn't do it, the Raiders
didn't do it yesterday. To that point, I can't knock
Seattle for being three at zero considering that they have
done things that others can't.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Right now, and you know what looks you know, I mean,
I'm I'm a schedule watcher. I know it's a couple
of week away, but you know, it seems to be
a pretty awesome game, like and it's weeks away, not
this week, not the week after. The forty nine Ers
play on a Thursday night against the Seahawks in a
couple of weeks, and that might be a statement game
(08:15):
for your team or the Niners trying to bounce back
after this rough one and two starts. So that Seattle
Seahawks forty nine Ers game, I believe it's Thursday, October tenth.
That Gino Smith to DK metcalf combo is dangerous if
they if they're on you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What was it? What do you throw for a seventy
seven yard pass? Seventy one yard pass? Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Just playing nice Thursday October tenth. It's a couple of
weeks away, but that forty nine er Seahawks game could
be something.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Seahawks schedule gets a lot difficult next week they're part
of the Monday night doubleheader. They are at Detroit next week,
so it does tough enough. But again, you want to
bank these wins now because I think nine gets you
in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, and you know what, Dan Buyer, Interestingly enough, you
said the Lions they won yesterday. But when we talked
about Sam Donald and I showed support, like, you know,
they're not gonna be as bad as you think. I
didn't think this was gonna happen, but I was. I
was on the Sam Donald's gonna be better than you
think bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I felt it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I was like they still got the weapons, Sam Donald,
like don't count this guy out. He's got a decent
ginger fight. I'm not quite Dalton, it's like close, not
even in the bomb park, but you know, I gotta
give it credit. But no one on planet Earth was
talking about how Caleb was gonna have a rough star.
The Bears aren't looking good at all. People thought when
(09:35):
Jordan Love went down, the Packers might as well call
to day.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Malik Willis looked like a man on a mission.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, none of it makes sense, and it just goes
to show you you really don't know. As we keep
proving the point over and over again every week, the
NFL is surprising you, and it goes to our original
point that we've said a million times. You really don't
have a great feel until week eight. Is that why
from six to eight the ratings are in an all
time high? Like can you look at the NFL and say,
not only is it just a great product like a
(10:06):
good drama on HBO or Showtime or Netflix.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Teams don't you guess it? Like you don't know what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Teams taking other teams lightly, it's styles making fights like
we always say, it's a matchup, Maybe it's maybe we
just forget that all these guys are NFL level to
all these guys have potential to beat you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
And every team is in it because the oh and
two teams yesterday they all went six and one.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So the teams had the teams they went into yesterday
oh and two. Bottom of the marrow. We're six and
one was a big narrative on the old red zone
with Scott Hansen. That was one of the most notable storylines.
For sure, none of it makes sense, but again, those
teams are.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Due to win.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
On Friday when we were going over our picks, I'll
pat myself on the back because I claimed my losses,
so I'll claim my wins. My solar power parlay hit nicely.
Remember we said it was like bet one hundred win
like four hundred eagles, just scrape by Lion and Chiefs.
But I remember talking about what do you think the
the locks are and Cavino, which of these do you
(11:06):
think is a no brainer? I jumped on the Jets,
and knowing Cavino is all about y'all buccaneers man at.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Home, I did think that, but I went with the Jets.
Yet that was not our pool.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
When I asked you on the air, you were you
were saying, like, Yo, there's no way the Bucks are
at home and come on, there's no way they'll lose.
I'm not denying it. I'm just saying, as far as
they're lock and key, I went with the Jets, But
I did. I did think that the Buccaneers were gonna win.
I'm not alone. That was one of the big surprises
for sure. So they're one of the what was it
six teams that went down Danny g I thought Nicks
(11:38):
was bo Nicks coming out party in but in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Bow Knicks and Daniel Jones, who thought the joke. He's
been the joke of the league lately, Daniel Jones was
gonna throw all those touchdown passes to neighbors.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Joke in the league, unless, of course he's dating k Adams,
which we don't know, right, Isn't that the rumor?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And he'd be like, that's that's the rumor.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm not spreading any rumors.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, in another surprise yesterday, And of course we haven't
even talked about the frustration levels in Dallas, Like how
embarrassing that is? You pay DAK and they lose to
the Ravens the way they did, the frustrations on the
sidelines not looking good for the Cowboys. But again you
could also say, well, the Ravens had to win eventually, right,
(12:21):
somebody seems to have to win eventually. At least the
Cowboys fought to the very end. They did, but they
go down both one and two. Now, so that leads
us to our doubleheader tonight. Will there be another three
and oh team by the end of tonight or more surprises?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Pick your you know, make your guesses before the end
of the show, think about it, and pick your two
team parlay for tonight, because I don't know if I
have any question rich of all the three and O teams, right,
and let's say the Bills win tonight and they're three
and oh, which ones are the most legit? Chiefs easily
still believing in them, even though Kelsey's.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Chiefs chiefs and the reps are just the chiefs Kansas City.
I mean, you say chiefs.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I think they got two lucky calls in two back
to back weeks. Three weeks.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Seriously on the end was legit though, that was but
that was close.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But yesterday that was a total missed call. Once again.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So Steelers, Chiefs, Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, the Bills. Of those
undefeated teams that the Bills went tonight, the Chiefs still
the team to beat. I guess well, let me let
me hit you up with to show you how confusing
the NFL is.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
They are drunk.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
They they have points spreads out for this weekend. You
I don't try for the NFL. The most part, the
collective views, not only you Rich, I'm talking you in general,
a lot of drunkards out there letting people. I'm gonna
go looking at the next two weeks. The Vikings, who
are three to oh, are underdogs. The next two weeks
(13:58):
in the NFL, they're playing at Green Bay and then
they're playing the Jets in London, and looking ahead they're
underdogs in both of those games. So still the sentiment
is like, all right, Sam Darnold, that's great now, but
uh yeah, now you're gonna play the Packers and the Jets. Man,
So I mean you could blink and in two weeks,
I mean, and they're still underdogs.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Is that confirmed? Last I heard, he's still a little
banged up day to day.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, So, Matt Lafleur said today that he's going to
be limited in practice this week. But it's funny, guys,
because with Jordan Love and Justin Herbert last week. Herbert's
got that ankle injury. X ray's negative today. But they
have Vikings Packers Chiefs Chargers next week. The question is,
would you risk your guy in week three if he
(14:47):
maybe wasn't one hundred percent? Packers said, we'll go with
Malik Willis. We're fine with there. But the Chargers did
play Herbert and he ended up having to leave the game.
Now I feel that they're kind of behind the eight ball.
I think Green Bay is in a pretty good position
now in keeping Love out and not rushing him back
for the long season.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Looks like it smart. Looks smart now? It does it
really does?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They played well with ad him you let him said
twenty twenty. Yeah, I can't see them still being underdogs
though if he's not playing.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, Minnesota's defense is legit. I actually felt bad for
kind of discrediting them on your show last week, guys,
when we were talking about two and oh teams. Darnold's
getting the hype because I think it's a good story then,
and the points you make Rich are all valid. But
you hold c J. Stroud to seven points, you hold
that forty nine ers offense under twenty.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, like the down and they made the forty nine
ers look troubled on offense.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, that's a pretty.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Clip with just talking to Flora's like, you're like your
scheme ad, maybe it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yes, he was giving Flora's properly says a lot. Your
scheme's like nothing I've seen, And you're right, c J.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Stroud.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That was his first real Texas until the third quarter,
again proving that the NFL is drunk, like really, c J.
Stroud one of the greatest phenoms in the league right
now makes me go, hey, your observations, the things that
made you go hmmm, Week three of the NFL. Will
take your feedback. Next at eight, seven, seven, nine nine
(16:14):
on Fox, We got more.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Could be known Rich Next.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Now, there's one feeling in sports, it's better than anything.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's that electric buzz of game day all around you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And when you're looking for that same vibe, you have
to check out Graduate hotels. A stay at Graduate is
like stepping onto the field in those college towns. And

Speaking of Kings, stay tuned because you'll hear more about
DraftKings and all of its offerings throughout the show Draftkinks.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
The Crown is yours? Did you say offering? I did?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
We got Ryan on the ones and twos. Rich don't
know Wu Tang. He knows nothing about Wu Tang. He
knows Spin Doctors. That's Danny J. He's on the ones
and twos as well on the phone super producing eight
seven A ninety nine on Fox. Danna, if you want
to say Spin Doctors, I was a little miscam't be
wrong with my parlay on Friday.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You were good one three. I like that.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Rich will be here till Thursday. Yeah, because on Fridays
in Alabama DV he's.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Getting ready for the updates spots on the videos with
Elijah at Covino and Rich again.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I said it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Scott Hansen really was driving this home. Danny G mentioned
it the whole story to prove your point, Rich that
the NFL is drunk. None of it makes sense. More
drunk than you were this weekend teams that were owing
to teams that you thought had no shot because they
were stinking like Abe Link and teams that were owing
to this past weekend went six and one yesterday. They
all won except for the Titans, who are still owing three.
(18:41):
So it's very unpredictable. But again it's the NFL. There's
still great athletes. They could beat you any given Sunday
as it goes matchups. Again, that plays a major part.
Injuries plays a major part. And sometimes something Danny g
often likes to point out, you played down to your
(19:01):
competition and then you play up.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But that's not good.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Sometimes first year coaches are throwing schemes at you that
you are unfamiliar with.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's a little bit of all that.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Seattle's three and oh Dan Bayer said, you gotta win
the games on your schedule that you're quote supposed to
win if you want to be a playoff team, And
the Seahawks are doing just that. Because he's right, the
Seahawks other than the Giants in a couple of weeks,
and hey, you don't know how the Giants will rule you.
Shout out the Seahawks two. Because you think Geno Smith
is old because he's been around for so long. I
(19:30):
think we think of him. Rich and I were on
TV in New York City, which feels like a million
years ago, and Gino Smith was the story in the
UK and Geno Smith was the story for the Jets.
We were on TV in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen in
New York, so talk remember when his teammate punched him
in the Jaws. Yeah, so we've been talking about him
for that long. He's still only thirty three years old.
(19:51):
So I mean, he's playing great. He's got some great
weapons there. Maybe they are legit, we don't know. But
the Seahawks three and oh is great for them because
they do have the Lions Giants. Like I said, who knows.
Then the Niners, Falcons, Bills. So you're gonna rams Niners again.
You'll find out real quick. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
And by the way, to show how the the NFL
world is just fun and crazy. Like you said, zero
(20:13):
and two teams went six and one this weekend. That's
what made it feel like such a surprise. Like what
offense is way down for quarterbacks, which we've talked about
last week. The hottest quarterback in the league right now,
Sam Donald. He doesn't have quite the redheaded fade is
Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
No, but he's great. He's playing great. You see the
headline that he's shooting his shot with Hawk to a girl.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
No really, no Vikings QB Sam Donald seemingly shoots his shot.
He's liking all her content and then he's putting heart emojis.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Wow. Donald wants a little hawk.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
To actually, hey, you know what you're You're three now
on top of the world.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I think he deserves it, you know, I do think,
But what do I know?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Right? This is just my opinion from what I see
in twenty second increments on red zone. Yeah, I think
Seattle's legit. But then again, I felt that the past
year plus because they've been good for a minute, then
they sort of fall off.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
If you ever want to cover my house, we could
pick what gets on the big team. I know, I know,
and I think I think the Vikings are legit.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I really do. Well, you know, I think it's all
about that defense. So you know what, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Things that made you go hmmm, things that make you go,
things that make you go.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Now, these are your major takeaways. This is when we
open it up and we go to you Fox Sports
Radio Nation, your chance to chime in, be part of
the show. We appreciate you listening. We like to get
you involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox And
if you're busy, hit us up at Covino and Rich
on social media, check our clips and tell us what
made you go hmm? What stood out to you, what
(21:52):
made you go hmmmm? As we get ready for a
doubleheader tonight that pumped out, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
What made me go.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Maybe go is the Saints, who put up multiple forty
spots to start the year, came up short.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Against the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Eagles found the way to win that game, but that
offense just came installed. That offense for New orleanstalled, and
that game was I called that game redemption for Saquon Barkley.
He lost them a game and he had to win
them back one. I just felt like just watching that
game because I did have money on it, and it
was a game I was keeping my eyes on two
(22:30):
big teams that people enjoy. Eagles always good in prime
time and you know game of the week type of scenarios.
But that game was sort of boring. Yeah, low scoring game,
most three nothing at halftime. I'm like, what is going on?
It was one of those games, so I was shocked
at Seattle. I'm sorry the Saints couldn't find a way
to put up any points whatsoever. I'll give you one
more and then I'll hand it over to you, your boy.
(22:52):
Baker Mayfield sacked I believe seven plus times or at
least seven times. Just a bad game for the Buccaneers.
He was going to talk it up to that or
did I just thought it was just one of those
bad games. They couldn't figure it out, couldn't find a rhythm.
Broncos stepped up, made him look bad. I don't think
the Buccaneers aren't that bad. They just didn't play well.
But lots of takeaways. I got some thoughts. But let's
(23:14):
go to yours at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
We do this every Monday. Your chance to chime in
things that made you go hmm? Who is starting with
Sam in Miami Way?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Sam?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Okay, how you doing guys?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Thanks for taking my call. I think it's about time
somebody said something about all stinky and ridiculous that golfing
game was.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, you know, there's there's a part of me that
he said stinky Stan empathetic. It was stinky Tim Boyle.
No offense to Tim Boyle or Skylar Thompson. There's just
so many quarterbacks out there that with Tua gone for
the foreseeable future. I don't know if it's Mike McDaniel
or ownership or leadership there that are saying no, no, let's
(23:58):
stick with what we have. I only feel like that
team is urgently in the need of a move where
like tomorrow Dan Byer's like breaking news guys, and they
picked up someone via trade or or something though that
they can't go half to see if Tua doesn't play
again or doesn't play for half the year, you can't
roll Tim Boyle out for the next five weeks and
think you're gonna be in any type of race.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
They did sign Tyler Huntley from the Ravens practice squad
last week, but it also then just shows the lack
of awareness of the Dolphins this offseason. That Number one,
they thought Skyler Thompson was good enough, and before he
went out with that chest injury, they were not good enough.
And that b when you have Tua in his situation
before he even suffered the concussion, to not be this prepared.
(24:39):
They could make a deal. But they yeah, they did
not look good yesterday. Again that little fun fact.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
They get all my news courtesy of memes, so they
got to be true. They had the best total offense
in the NFL regular season last year, but this season the.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Only team in the NFL to not hold the lead
for a.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Single second this season until like we said at the
end of there, yeah, one win.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, the one win.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Just to me, the offense is just playing lane. That
that made me go hmm, and I'm listening. There's something
about being too prepared. There's something about being unprepared. What
happened when the Falcons drafted Michael Pennock's junior Everyone's like,
what would you do that you just gave Kirk because
with all that money, morons like you know, No, it's
pretty nice nowadays in this current NFL to have multiple
(25:24):
quarterbacks that you feel confident playing the position because outside
of Tua, he must have dazzled in uh, you know,
mini camps and stuff. Because Skylett Thompson on the field
does not look good like you. I was like at
the box one like Swaddel or Tyreek even got touches
a couple catches each. Always have a quality backup in
life as well or just in football.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's like having like it. You don't kind of have
like a nice gumat on the side.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
What you gotta have a Janie Rossi to go to
just in case, just when you're a team of that
of that level that is expecting playoffs. Let's be honest,
everyone outside of New England and that division wanted and
thinks that they are a playoff caliber team. You know
what makes me say, you already touched on it, but
it really does makes me go, hmmm, the fact that
(26:10):
the Steelers are three and oh obviously, but the whole
quarterback situation, like what do they do with Russell Wilson now?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
For real?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Like it went from.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Such a storyline to what now we're forgetting about them
and we're just moving forward. Like I didn't even hear
a peep the past few days about Russell Wilson and
what they're gonna do or how he's feeling here.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
You know, I haven't heard it, Jack did.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
We went from here and back and forth about him
and Field to dead least squat about him. That makes
me say, now, if I mean, I feel like ever
since Roethlisberger came out and spoke out and said, nah,
you gotta stick with fields. That's been the decision and
that's what it is moving forward after three and O.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You you can't go to Russell Wilson. I mean, I
almost feel like it was a set. I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'll tell you when we almost feel like him and
Tomlin had a little talking. I'm gonna tell you when
we're gonna go to Sammy Wilson. You want to want
to hear one, Yeah, please do, because there's no way
they're making that move now.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Three.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
No, they play the Colts, their favorite, Then they play
the Cowboys. You might take an l there because it's
you know, primetime game, it's on Sunday night. Then the
Raid is, then the Jets. They play the Giants, which
they should handle. The Commanders. They have a favorable schedule
for now. If he goes five hundred over the next
(27:17):
four and they're five and two, you're not pulling them.
I think you get to a point hand pull them
because at least he's playing well. They're not lighting it
up by any means. But he's gonna learn as it goes,
he's gonna get better. No one's gonna want to throw
Russell Wilson in the mix. That's just a weird storyline
to me. So that makes me say, hmm, the more
the Steelers win, the more well, that's just what it is.
(27:42):
That question has been answered.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Interesting enough, right, more things that made you go.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But then I wonder Rich, I wonder how hurt he
had to be to sacrifice his starting job like that.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
He must have been hurt enough.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You know, you see guys walking around and the illusion
is like, who don't look bad to me. There's a
big difference of walking around the sideline goofing around like like,
I had to remind myself of this because I saw
Francisco Lindor taking VP laughing with his teammates. I'm like,
you gotta play the six games left, Lindor. If you
can smile on the dugout, you could play. And then
(28:15):
I'm thinking, oh, that's not true at all. I mean,
I'm being the idiotic fan when I see you know,
when you see like your favorite players in street clothes
laughing and having fun. Hold on, there's a big difference
between that and taking a hit over the middle from
brought up Lindor though, okay, because Lindor the announcement was
about Francisco Lindor the baseball player Riches Mets, was that
he's gonna come back, but limited, like he's not going
(28:37):
on on a limited basis. Wasn't that what Dan Byer
was reporting about Russell Wilson. Remember we called them mister
Limited because he was limited. So he went from limited
to like not even an option. But I mean, and
I can't, like I said, if you in West Pittsburgh collapses,
there's no real window. It's not like they're playing. It's
if the Steelers are playing the Chiefs. You know, Chiefs, Niners, Lions, Eagles,
(29:03):
all these teams in I say, are you're gonna get
some l's? But their face, their favorable schedule makes it
feel like Field.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Is not going anywhere. I'm saying he gave up his
starting gig. That's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You know where I think the ultimate table turned on
Russell Wilson with the Steelers is when he was getting
clowned because he suited up in Week one and people
didn't People didn't realize the new rules in the NFL
where even if he's inactive as the emergency quarterback, he
could come in the game. So you needed to be
dressed up like people thought that he was just trying
(29:33):
to be one of the guys.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You know what, but I sit here, I sit here
with you Monday through Friday knowing that, and I still
laughed about that because people want to clown us.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yes, yes, that's maybe put on his shoulder pads.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
How cute you can get a load of this guy.
Steelers have a reputation, they have a pride about them.
They're probably yeah, we're better off of fields at this point.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
So Sierra Sierra is. It's currently on Zillo trying to
figure things out well.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
And by the way, Fox Sports Radio Nation Covino and
Rich not hating on anybody.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm rooting for all these dudes to do well.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'm just wondering what's really going on there, because I
don't think you're taking fields out at this point.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Now, let's go to dB for an update. What's going
on Dan Bayer, guys.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
A bunch of news coming in from Week three of course.
Week three NS tonight with the doubleheader between the Jaguars
and Bills at seven thirty eastern in Buffalo and Cincinnati.
The Bengals are home to the Commanders eight fifteen Eastern,
now the Vikings and Packers will play a Week four.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold expected to start. An MRI showed
no structural damage to his injured left knee. The NFL
(30:39):
network says it's a bone bruise, so expect Donald to
go on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
As for Jordan Love, wait, hold on, Dan, does this
anything about hawk to a girl on that off?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
He did not.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Packers quarterback Jordan Love will be limited this week, according
to his head coach Matt Lafleur. Of course, Love trying
to come back from that knee injury. Chargers are banged
up quarterback and Herbert did have an X ray on
the ankle negative. He was pulled from yesterday's game against
the Steelers because of that high ankle sprain. It's an
MCL sprain for first round pick and rookie tackled Joe
(31:11):
Alt for the Chargers. NFL network says he's going to
miss some time, so don't expect him to play against
the Chiefs in Week four. Rams wide receiver Cooper Cup's
already been ruled out of Week four in Chicago because
of his ankle injury. While the Lions are a bit
banged up they got good news on Sam Laporta is
the tight end is day to day with a sprained ankle.
Was carted off yesterday but did return to the game.
(31:31):
They play a week from tonight against the three and
O Seahawks, but the Lions lost edge rusher Marcus Davenport
for the season because of an elbow injury, and the
Brown said that tough loss to the Giants yesterday. Miles
Garrett's gonna have an MRI on his injured feet and
legs after having to leave the game, while guard Wyatts
Heller is out at least four weeks because of a
sprain knee, according to the NFL Network. A couple of
(31:51):
other quick notes. The Action Network reported earlier today that
Condego was leaving the West Coast Conference to join the
PAC twelve. Multiple reports have now said that that report
is entirely accurate that they are saying discussions continue to
go on between the two sides. That's from Yahoo Sports,
in CBS Sports, Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA all committing
to the American Athletic Conference while air Force is gonna
(32:13):
stay in the Mountain West. The Raptors announced are going
to retire Vince Carter's number fifteen jersey.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
At a game in early November. Guys, back to.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
You, thank you, dB Dan.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I know you don't have every sports fact in front
of you, but any update on McCaffrey. Is it the
four weeks because they had to put him on the
pup list and then he'll be back for week five
or is it gonna I'm sorry on ir is it
a are they looking at even possibly more or is
McCaffrey like gonna be good to go week five.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
I have not heard any updates from that.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
When you when you google news it, the last article
was like a week ago, like, no one's really keeping
up with the McCaffrey.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Sure, sure, sure, and at that point too, with the
injured reserve, you're gonna have to make a roster situation.
But yeah, considering he's gonna miss those four games, I
think everybody's gonna wait for those four games to come
through and then.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Because based on the based on you know, Kittle and
Debo being week to week. If you're a Niners fan,
if you knew, I all right, one more week without McCaffrey,
then we get him back. That's a nice feeling for
a forty nine Ers fan, but no real updates, which
means this this lingering injury for him, it seems like
a real pain in the ask.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah. Yeah, ude, what They've got the Patriots next week, right,
that's the.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Whole If they can't win that game, I retire. I
think sure, Sure, and then is it the Cardinals and
then thank you guys, Seahawks on a Thursday night. So
maybe he comes back for that Thursday night against the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, fresh, Gosh, it wouldn't make a lot of sense
to do it in a short week because then you
could give him the whole week and a half the
next week to come back when you have the Chiefs
in the Super Bowl rematch.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
But yeah, I don't have any information on him though.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
All Right, thank you Dan Buyer for the update. All Right,
we got more Coveno and Rich. We get your phone calls.
Next Things that made you go? Eight seven ninety nine

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, I drop a fun fact on you. That's not
so fun.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Sure, totally off the football train of thought. But you said,
Golden Bachelorette. I read an article take with that's what
you will. Maybe you need to have a talk about
your parents are your neighbors. Sti's are at an all
time high among boomers. Apparently they say that for years,
but more than ever they're saying like, but they're saying
(35:37):
like it's unbelievable, like our parents generation is get it
on the care.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
He said, I said, Golden bacheloret That's why I don

Hope you enjoyed the fights. And now we go to
your phone. Now let's say how to Riley in Idaho? Riley,
what made you go hm week three of the NFL?
Speaker 7 (36:31):
Well, no, I'm I'm a Hawks fan. So it was,
you know, kind of a it's nice to sit back
and get it move going up, just because the Dolphins
looked awful on so many different levels. But I was
just calling. I wanted to ask you guys. You were
talking about the Dolphins and originally and then you kind
of went to the Steelers in the Russell Wilson situation,
do you guys think it's possible that they could send
(36:54):
Russell to Miami?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
I thought that I.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Just want to wonder about stuff like that. Who absorbs money?
Does someone have to pay? Like don't you feel like
Russell Wilson would be a guy that could play that
sort of system and fill in where Tua left off.
I think so that's why I think there's more there,
Like what's going on there? But a big butt? I
know you like big butts. I do like a big butt.
Wan did the Steelers just take a look at the
league and be like, wait a minute, we have an
(37:18):
advantage that we actually have someone to go to if
fields goes down, that you're filling in the problem for
someone else that you hope doesn't happen to you, right right,
Like the Steelers might say, yeah, they have a we
have a great problem, you know, the backup exactly. Mike
in Virginia, you're on with sen r Hey, Mike.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Thanks.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
What makes me go what makes me go home is
the fact that the pillies and the no pillies that
recalled not just this past lead but the past but
all season long, first three weeks, particularly the mauling of
Kyle Plitz last night with the chief you know receiver
that's was a blatant passion appearance, but it wasn't called.
And this has happened not this week, but it's been
(37:59):
like all the season so far. I don't know what
the referees are blind. Have they got forgotten the glasses.
I don't know, but it's just really disappoints me how
bad the referee calling is this season.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Agreed, and that's and that's and that's a big play.
Right in the end zone. Pits is clearly essentially being tackled.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
He wrapped before the balls even there no question, no
question about it. So yeah, I completely agree with you, man,
that was whack.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Let's go to No, that's good. Well, that's well, that's good.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Okay, Yeah, we'll take the rest of your phone calls
to eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox again at
Covino and Rich. Your takeaways. Things that made you go, hm,
what's sit out to you? Could be about anything. It
doesn't have to be about football either. It could be
about baseball, Like, Yo, what if Otani beats Judge in
his home run race? That's the whole this story. Otani
(38:53):
has uh forget the six or six game. No one
will ever forget that, But forget it for a second.
There's a stat that's even more impressed to me, the
fact that he is I believe, fourteen for eighteen with
five home runs or something like so other ridiculous over
his last couple of games, like fourteen for eighteen. That
is better than little league numbers. That's better than numbers
(39:16):
when remember when your little league they count errors as hits,
I mean four, you had a weak ass scorekeeper. Yeah, well,
when little kids play, if a kid bobbles a ball ball,
he got a hit single.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I never counted that, just saying, oh, you're the greatest.
I doubt that.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I bet you.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
The fact that you bet at five oh five in
high school makes me think you had a Linien score. Gake,
you think they were giving me a gimme's and the
heights you know now that I think about it, Yeah, no,
that's five o five without a Linien.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Sure. Please. By the way, we were wondering somebody's hating.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
On the air last week. We were wondering if Osani
could get to fifty five fifty five. Right now he's
at fifty three fifty five.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, that makes me go, yeah, is that another benchmark?
Like why would you we only count by ten? So like,
is in fifty five fifty five freaking impressibly? This is
a mic from everyone impressive Mike Place one, He's like,
the only thing that makes fifty to fifty so impressive
is that it's a round number. He's it was impressive
when he was forty eight, forty eight, you know, it
(40:11):
was just as impressive.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
But it was like, yeah, the thirty thirty called for.
Now he's fifty to fifteen. Everyone moving forward is impressive.
It isn't wreaking a record. That's what makes it awesome.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
And it makes me say, you know, it's like, it's
like how stupid we all are that you have to
put your TV volume on an even number, yes, or
like a round number, like by fives, Like you.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Only bet in the lottery when it's above like five
hundred million. Oh, five million isn't enough for you? What's
the what's the power ball tonight? Only twenty nine million?
I'm not playing. You'll play when it's a billion. And yeah,
this logic that makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
And you're so right about the otani, Like fifty fifty
is just a beautiful number.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
So you tell me the next thing. If he's sixty.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Sixty, like fifty five fifty five, if we're counting by fives,
and that makes your ocd okay, fifty five to fifty
five would be insane, and he has six games to
do it.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
It would be great.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
And uh, some other things that made us go hmmm,
we'll take your phone calls, your feedback. Next eight seven,
seven ninety nine, Fox could have been about the fights
this week, and of course baseball with six games to go,
what are you looking to see? Because I'm telling you
there's two wildcard races that are insane and if you're
not paying attention, well, no better time than now to
(41:19):
start paying attention. The ALE and n A wildcard gonna
come down to the final week, so we'll get to
that and more NFL and some trivia right here Cove
