to like we we always do. We're gonna do some

congrats to him, by the way, he's in the news
and things that made you go hmmm, Week thirteen NFL
or just any observations you made over the week nd
now Cyber Monday. Yeah, thirteen billion dollars being spent today. Okay?
(02:26):
Is the economy looking okay? Or do people just spend
money they don't have that or the spot said yes.
The answer to that is yes. But I would say
people want things they can't afford and they get it anyway.
That's just the world we live in. It's not our grandparents'
generation where you're mom would put things on layaway chasing. Nah. No,
Younger people see things, they double click on their phone,
(02:48):
they get it, and they don't care because they don't
have savings. They live for moments and vacations and things
doesn't matter. They don't care to save, which is fine
because I'm a little jealous of Sometimes I'm like, why
is everybody having more fun than me? That's how I
broke I want to buy a roommates. I'm buying a
robot today. I'm gonna buy myself a sweet robot. This
(03:09):
is Happy breath Day, Polly. Yeah, but a lot of
shopping being done today. Why are you buying something? I
bought a foot massager. Yeah, but you bought that already.
That was my only holiday purchase so far. What else now?
I'm a grown man. Do you have this feeling that
that's a weird purchase?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Too? The foot massager, it's like something an older guy
byas No. I mean, do you need that? Like Spot
said before it turns in after five to ten uses?
Is this the dust collector? You're not gonna use it?
Your feet that bad? Are you such a diva? You
need your feet massage? Why? Watching some Monday night football?
Do you know what? Sounds like a hell of an
(03:47):
idea for me? It's not bad. I tried it. I
believe it or not. I tried it out and it
was nice. I just a weird percha put your touch
season there and at first he was like, I don't know, bro.
Then he's like, oh, I mean I did like it,
you know. I was like, ooh, but uh a weird
purchase anyway. You know what you brought up Cyber Monday?
Can I ask you a stupid question just to start
(04:07):
the show? Yeah, anything to avoid me talking about the
forty nine ers, which we are going to talk about
in a few minutes. Yeah. I thought we were going
to lead off with why the forty nine ers stink,
which is what Rich said, But he started talking about
cyber Monday, So thirteen billion dollars more than Black Friday.
So on a cyber Monday, before we get into the
forty nine ers and things that made you go hmmm.
(04:29):
Based on in my opinion, the biggest story of the weekend.
Apparently this happened a few months ago, but the story
broke this weekend. There was a UAP a UFO scene
on the runway scene video photographed on the runway of
a Manchester airport and it's just this blue sphere sphericle
(04:54):
looks like sonigh to head hedgehogs sort of UFO, and
people like what is that? They recorded, it hovered, it
took off, It was taking angles and directions that no
regular aircraft could take. So based on that story and
the footage that I'm loving, I don't care if it's fake.
I still love the story. I don't think it's fake,
(05:14):
by the way, I think we honestly just don't know
what it is. It's real unidea identified aerial phenomenon. Based
on that, on this cyber Monday, are we more likely
to have a living robot? Or are we gonna find
out if aliens exist? Now? You all living robot within
(05:37):
ten years? You think so. Jim Kardashian's got that Tesla prototype.
She's got that prototype. That's not chief, that's a thirty
thousand dollars robot. It'll eventually be like three grand, that'll
be three hundred. It'll be living jetson style with our Rosie.
And by the way, can our robots have fat asses?
They could, Yeah, we could have our own Rosie. Or
you think we'll find out something about what these things
are first? I'm not saying they're aliens. They could be
(06:00):
interdimensional as people are saying. Maybe they're coming from the oceans.
I don't know. I don't claim to know. But do
you think we'll find out what these things are before
we have live in robots on a Cybern? All I
know is that Isaac Longcron is shaking. He pre ordered
one of those big gass robots you're talking about, Oh,
with big asses? Yeah, true story on nice same voice
(06:22):
as Rosy too, by the way, oh nice, I love
it A pleasure bought, Yeah, a whole lot of Rosy.
So what do you think? Real quick around the room,
Danny G you think we'll find out in our lifetime
what these things are like? What do you believe they're
from outer space. Whatever. I think we all agree that
we're at a point in life now where we know
(06:43):
something's out there, we just don't know what it is, right, Like,
things are flying around. Maybe it's military. So we're at
the point of like, yeah, I guess whatever, But what
are they?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, as we found out in Vegas last year, they're
nine ten feet tall in the big eyes.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, No, they're not drones. This was not a drone. No,
they don't know what it was. It was the size
of a small car, they said. And again, if you
haven't seen it, that's another mystery. Why haven't you seen that?
Are we that desensitized, Are we that into cyber Monday
that we don't care? You're high your algorithm as foot massagers? Instead? Yeah,
(07:17):
was the Black Friday deal? So dope that you missed
this story. Look it up. It's wild. I think it's cool,
it's stupid, it's fun, it's all the above. But based
on cyber Monday. More likely to have a robot or
find out what these things are in our lifetime, which is,
you know, not that long. When you really think about
(07:38):
the big picture of things, you think we'll find out
in the next thirty forty years. If you live to
one hundred years old, it would be pretty arrogant to think, yeah,
that in your one hundred years on this planet, that's
when everything gets to like, you know, discovered. Well, you're
seeing a lot of footage and a lot more reports
(07:58):
and a lot more things that make you say, hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
So I just posed that question to the Fox Sports
Radio Nation in honor and in tribute of the wildest
story over the weekend and the Cyber Monday. I'll answer
your dumb question. I think. I think within a decade,
people with any you know, any people with a decent
living we'll have some type of living robot that is
probably bringing you a drink while you're watching football, that's
(08:24):
helping you with errands around the house. I mean, think
about it. You have a roomba, right, I have a
roomba and it's dope. It's come a long way. I
had the Rumba, an ee robot. The Rumba had it
in the early two thousands, and I remember my ex
bought it and I'm like, this thing sucks, but seriously,
(08:45):
it was such a piece of trash. Now it's phenomenal.
So they've come a long one. What I'm saying is
added body to the room. But we have cars that drive,
We have self driving cars. I didn't think we'd have
that as soon as we was I was told that
if you have a kid like like Danny GE's got
little CoA. How old is called one and a half?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Uh yeah, fifteen months olds.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
They're saying kids that are Coa's age will never drive
a car.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's wild.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Right, Hey, do you think we'll have silver suits? When
do we start wearing silver suits? Well? Docavin Brown said
twenty fifteen. But that seems an accurate so, I mean
maybe he was off by a decade. So do we
start wearing silver suits robots or aliens? First? You let
us know at Covino en Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
But yeah, good luck with your Cyber Monday shopping. Buy
(09:30):
yourself a drone, go viral, do whatever you want, But
I say, spend accordingly. Is there anything on your holiday
wish list? Or do you have the mindset like I'm
a grown up, I get things when I sort of
want them. I don't give a diddley squat about Black
Friday or like or cyber money. Things mean nothing. Everyone
say nothing, they mean nothing. I know everyone's on a
(09:52):
different budget. But if you're a grown man or grown woman,
like the idea of like I can't wait to get
that on Christmas, it seems sort of lame to me.
I mean, it's Christmas is for kids. It's it's better
to get things at the best deal possible. I'm not
saying waste your money. Season. I don't care at all
about these uh these hyped up holidays. So anyway, these
(10:17):
corporate holidays. So enjoy your cyber Monday. Look up that
Manchester story I told you about it. It's definitely the
worth looking up. It's definitely like, well, how do we
not like speculate harder on what that is? Do we
not care? Are we that into football where aliens don't matter?
(10:37):
I mean it is pretty interesting. It's almost I think
it's like the Boy that Cried Wolf Cabino. I think
over the years, we've seen one too many hoaxes. Yeah,
it's like Bigfoot, right, like what would it take for
you to really believe? Yeah, but they say this one
was there on the runway. I mean you see the picture.
I've seen the picture. They've enhanced it in twenty twenty four.
(10:58):
Your first instinct is all right, photoshop Martin mart So
that's what you're gonna think every time your thoughts if
you want to share eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
that's our number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Now.
The real question, though, is not whether or not you're
gonna have a living robot in the next five ten years.
And by the way, is it cheating if the robot's hot,
(11:19):
that's another question. I don't know, don't buy it. Don't
buy hot robot. Yeah, I gotta get like an old
uh yeah, but even the ugly ones. Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't
keep his hands off of that. I mean that is true. Yeah,
So you gotta get a real, an old thick robot.
Look at it like a nanny. You don't want like
a You don't want like a twenty five year old robot.
You want like a sixty five year old people like him?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Thick.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
What are you talking about? The real question? Thick? Yeah, exactly, Ryan,
What right you want a robot that's like you could
call Oh, it's like Mike Branny. You don't want like
you know, I don't think you know your wife would
want a twenty three year old robot.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Extensions in their hair, bamboo rings, at least.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Two pairs, the Fendy bag, and a bad attitude. Hey, now, Rich,
the real question, the real question. All Right, we get it,
Cyber Monday, we get it, right, we get it, silver suits, robots,
we get it, flying UAPs. Why do your forty nine
ers stink? Before we get into things that made you
(12:14):
go home this weekend, I think it's safe to say
that this season's a wash.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Does it mean it's over for the forty nine ers?
Is this the end of their little run? Closing the window?
I agree. We talked about it briefly last week. We
brought the Eagles for example, Right, the Eagles had a
really bad year last year. We barely talked about them.
We didn't even mention Jalen Hurts, Like we barely took them.
And they're back. They made one big change and they're
back in a big way. The Eagles just just to
(12:40):
play stapoy. They lost in the Super Bowl, could have
won if not for a Jalen Hurts fumble that sort
of changed the momentum of that game. Then they had
an off year. They had a great year that fell apart.
You remember they started hot, they started h and then
the second half of the season it was like the
wheels fell off and people like it was Nick Sirianni out,
they were thinking about revamping the whole team. A couple
changes their back among the elite, Yeah, because they had
(13:04):
a foundation already. They tweaked it up a little bit
and they're back. I think the same could be said
about your forty nine ers. They might not even have
to make that many changes. They just need health. There's
not many changes that need to be made. And anyone
that says, nah, they're old, you could say that contributes
to the health. But I think it's safe to say
with the McCaffrey injury, the way they played yesterday, the
(13:27):
overall vibe and attitude of the team, they know it's
a wash and now it's just about next year. I
wrote down not their season, not your season. No, I
wrote down, do you care why your team stinks? And
I think the answer is a blaring yes. Because if
your team stinks because ownership's not put in the efforts.
(13:50):
You struck out again on your franchise quarterback, you drafted poorly,
veterans that you acquired are not delivering, that's a reason
to be like bummed about it. I'm trying to take
the most positive approach, and I'm saying, you know what,
do you can't where your team stinks? And my team,
being a Niners fan, they just suffered their consecutive second
fourth time in their team's history, consecutive twenty five point
(14:13):
plus losses. And when you look at who this team
is missing, they're missing all pros, Pro Bowlers, future Hall
of famers. Right now, this team has not got full
season efforts out of Christian McCaffrey, Nick Bosa, Trent Williams,
Brandon Au, Trey Greenlaw. You just found out Mason, who's
(14:35):
having an amazing year as a backup to McCaffrey. He's
now on the injured reserved. You gotta sometimes say injuries,
bad luck, not your year, We'll see you next time.
What can you say that for? And I'm just playing
Devil's advocate because I agree with you and everything you're
saying is true. But isn't that just part of the game.
(14:56):
That's the name of the games. But you can say
that for a you know a lot of teams, Well,
if so and so wasn't hurt, or if this and
that didn't happen, but I'm just I'm just saying, this
is a year where the yes, but the ball has
bounced badly. They lost three games in the last minute
against division opponents. The key leaders of their team all
out for extended periods of time. You sign on you
(15:18):
big contract, he's out for the whole year. McCaffrey, Mason again,
Kittle missed some games. Trent Williams not a not blocking
the left side he's and then he went to a
tragedy in his family. If you read about that, I'm
wishing him and his family the best. So this is
a team that you almost have to say next year,
you wouldn't be shocked if they came back and were
(15:40):
the Niners of the last few years. Not impossible. I
don't think it's improbable at all. Health is a big factor.
You don't know how bad McCaffrey's injured. I see, like, look,
he was pushed to his limits last year, came back
hurt this year, you know, worked his tailoffs just to
get back out there, only to get hurt again. Yeah,
I hear, you're not sure. I mean not wishing this
(16:01):
on the guy, but you don't know if he'll ever
be the same or how he recovers. Look at it
this way, there are there are questions that answer this
without even realizing it. Because I saw Adam Schefter point
out NFL Insider, there's like there's no talk at all
of well, which were any concern for John Lynch or
(16:25):
Kyle Shanahan? No, because ask yourself this, if the forty
nine ers were like we got to move on from
Shanahan and John Lynch new GM, new coach, how quickly
would those two guys get scooped up? Kyle Shanahan would
be the most sought after head coach, and John Lynch
what he did to turn around that front office, they'd
be scooped up in a second. It's not them Sometimes
(16:47):
it's just not your season. It happens in all sports.
So basically what Rich is asking you here, he's defending
his forty nine ers. I think the same case could
be made for a lot of teams. But I don't
think so. His team's His team is more stacked with
superstars that, if healthy, would make a big difference. But
(17:08):
why your team stinks? Do you care why they stink?
Or are you just talking up to they stink because
you got McCaffrey OULI says six weeks, six weeks is
the updates. That's all right, he's not playing. Do you care?
Does it matter why they stink? And Rich is saying that,
yes it matters, Like Danny g your Raiders, they're injured,
(17:29):
but the caliber of injured players wouldn't have made that
team like a twelve win team.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Well we don't know that because they weren't on the field, Rich,
but do you really think that? Before the show, You're like,
they don't have Pro bowlers and I'm like, yeah, they did,
Christian Wilkins, Nate Hobbs on the defensive side of the ball.
They lost their starting safety, they lost their two starting
runner backs at running backs, they lost their quarterback and
then their backup quarterback.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Tell Gardner Minshew is gonna make the difference.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
No, the Raiders were not going to be a Super
Bowl contender like your Niners are supposed to be, but
they could have sniffed a wild card had they stayed healthy.
That was a possibility going into the ear. You agreed
with that before the season began.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think there's levels of injuries. Your team is decimated,
and but answer ask yourself the question, is Antonio Pierce
keeping his job.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
We still don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
If he keeps his job, it is because internally they
feel like it was the injuries.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
If he gets let go and they go in a
new direction, it's because they realized, listen, even if they
were healthy, Yeah, we need to change. I think you've
got to ask yourself. Like the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys,
I brought up the other day, they need a revamp.
I know Dack's out now and they've had some injuries,
but do you really think Mike McCarthy's sticking around? Would
(18:50):
you be shocked if they keep him? Yeah, And I'm
thinking about I would be shocked to answer your question, yes,
But I'm also thinking about the difference between a team
like the Raiders and the forty nine ers. Minshew was
never the guy, right. I like watching them. He's a
tough player. I think he's a great backup, but he
was never the guy. When it comes to the forty
(19:11):
nine Ers, quarterback, brock Party has never been the problem.
With all the injuries and all the ups and downs
they've had the season, no one's really pointed the finger
at all at brock Party. So you have that as
a plus side too, you know, moving forward next year,
so and you might get you might be able to
get him a little cheaper now too.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Hrich.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Because the Raiders don't have as many Pro Bowlers as
the Niners, I almost could argue their injuries are worse
because they lack depth. You're Niners. I thought at least,
even with some of these injuries, had enough depth to
still win some of these close games.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I did too. I mean, and again, sometimes it's just
not your year. Do you think the Niners are done?
Look at that's the headline I'm looking around on FS
one and ESPN. They're done this season. They're done this year,
without without question, they're done this season. You could just
see it in their attitude and that injury just to
it last night. So they're done. That's the answer to
that question. But are they done moving forward? And I
(20:07):
think not. I think no, And that's why I brought
up Rock Perdy. It's an interesting one. You still have
a solid foundation. If you get healthy, you're good. I
could be annoyingly optimistic and say, oh, the window hasn't closed.
But you know, Danny, those guys that could say, hey, listen, man,
the Raiders you still need a quarterback and your health. Right,
So it's a little more difficult for you guys to
get back on track twenty twenty. But staying healthy is
(20:28):
a major part of the season and your success. So
I heard someone make it a great point that twenty
twenty until now, the Niners have had multiple deep super
Bowl type runs where when you add up all those games,
it's like an extra season, four playoff games multiple years,
and to the point where guys like Kittle and Moosa
(20:48):
and some of these guys trade green lawn, they've got
more wear in tear around them. They have more wear
and tear, like Fred Warner has been playing the whole
year with a broken ankle, Like I mean, it couldn't
get worse for the forty nine ers, like short of
brock Purty going down, and then you know what worse
could happen. So the question again Fox Sports Radio Nation
(21:10):
will get to your phone calls and things that made
you go next, do you care why the team stinks
or do you just chalk it up to they suck?
They stink? And the story just like just how football were, Like,
give you a wife treating it cheated on you, would
it be like, well, why did you cheat. It'd be like,
it doesn't matter she cheated, Like that's what we're asking. Like,
(21:30):
sometimes the reason does matter, and sometimes like no, I
don't care. Hey I got fired. Why did you get fired?
It doesn't matter I got fired. You know why why
did you why'd your uh, you know, why'd your kid
crash the car? I wonder if your wife cheated on you? Right, yeah,
you're supposed to not care because the fact is she's
still cheated on you. But if it's because you've neglected
(21:52):
her emotionally and have ignored her, that's a big differences.
It was like she's just horny and the guy that
works hot, that's different. That makes a difference. That's big. Well,
you know, she did cry out to me, and I
ignored it, and and I was not there emotionally, and
and she was going through a lot, Like those things
(22:13):
do matter. Although or no one wants to hear or
she was drunk at the Christmas party with chat from
the office, that's a big difference to me. You know,
no one wants to hear it regardless. So again, does
the reason matter is the question when it comes to
your team. So we'll take your feedback, and of course
all the things that made you go hmm, Week thirteen
of the NFL, and I have a thought also, and
(22:33):
I think unless your team's in it, there's a clear
Super Bowl matchup that the world wants to see. And
we'll get to that next right here in covinon Rich. Now,
we're not TV weathermen, in case you were one, Really, well,

Fox Sports Radio, Hope you had a great one. Very
thankful for you. Fox Sports Radio Nation. Now we focus
on Christmas time and foosball and wrapping up Week thirteen.
(24:20):
Your Monday night foosball. Rich will be talking about that
we got show time of homes Trivia. But I think
we made a point. I think so, and the point
is why matters? Why matters? There's a lot of teams
that stink this year, from the Jaguars to the Raiders
was the example, to the Giants to the forty nine ers.
But why do these teams stink that matters, and health
(24:45):
is a major major part of Rich's team because they'll
probably be right back in the mix next year. Yeah,
right now, we're Cavino and Rich live from the tyrack

don't think even if they made the postseason, I don't
think the Niners can make any noise. But again, it's
really not over yet because that division is so bad.
If you look at this week again, you could say,
(25:27):
ook at this guy trying to rationalize his Niners into
the playoffs. They'll make the postseason and they would lose
immediately anyway. But this coming week, Cavino, it's just gonna
it's gonna make it more. Uh, you know, like the carrot.
The Carrol will be hung in front of Niner fans
like they're on a treadmill. Because the Niners were the Bears.
(25:49):
They should probably win, right. H The Bills now play
the Rams, so the Rams lose probably yeah, and then
the Seahawks and cart right, Josh Allen's playing playing like
an mv see haunted Cardinals got to play each other,
so someone's got to lose, so the Niners could gain
a game back on everyone next week. And then you're
just holding that carrot. And again, I don't even know
(26:10):
if I wanted.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It sounds like you're met Season all over again.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You know what, you ain't kidding, but I just sometimes
it's not meant to be. And like we said, it
does matter why, right the analogy if your wife cheats
on you, doesn't matter why, and you might say, no,
she treated, but you know what, probably doesn't matter why.
It doesn't matter. Are you a terrible husband that neglected
(26:34):
her in every way and she was crying out for
help and you never listened. If you were fired at
your job, it matters, right like where you're not producing,
were you're not showing up, or you let go because
they were a budget cuts. Right. The why matters in life,
not all the time, but a lot of the time.
It matters in life, and it matters in sports when
your team is sucking. Do you care why they stink?
(26:56):
The forty nine ers stink, but there's a good reason
why some other team they just stink. Like, give me
the reason why the jet stink. Yeah, that's more difficult,
right to figure out. We've established here on the show though,
it's a culture it's a culture shift. Yeah, you know,
it's not working. The whole Aaron Rodgers thing's not working.
And to fix that culture you need to probably get
rid of him. So we've established that here on the show. Again,
(27:19):
we're Cavino and Rich. I hope you had a nice
extended weekend. We're back on the grind back to the
old grindstone, as my mom says, I don't even know
what that means, bro, I don't even know what a
grindstone is. But hope you got a nice day at work.
You're back at it. Yeah, we're back at it. Good
to be here eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
and I think we get into it Rich everything we
observe today, you ready, let's do it. Things that made
you go, hmmm, things that make you go, things that
(27:45):
make your goal. Observation number one, why would he care?
Why do we care about Tom? Brady eating a traduccan.
Did they like me? It seemed like you They were
trying to like, orchestrate this is the most viral thing, Like,
come on, Tom. Everything Tom Brady does is TV goal
and he's Tom Brady and it's gonna get views, and
it's simply because of who he is and his stature.
(28:08):
It wasn't really that great Brady. But my observation is
he didn't eat a turducan. He ate the leg of
the turkey, which has nothing to do with the quote
unquote turducan, which had already been cut off. He'd already
been cut off. He just ate a turkey leg. But
the headlines like Tom Brady really dove into that turnducan.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
It's because when you picture Tom Brady, you think of
health food and so to see him like a caveman
with his hands holding a turkey leg. I think some
people were like, I know, but some they were like, okay,
because I picture him holding a like a raw avocado.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I picture him sholding a red snapper on shirt.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
There was a viral Tombrady cheated, I'm shocked shot.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
There was a viral photo today of Tom Brady on
a yacht on a fishing boat in Florida holding a
red snapper with no shirt on. So she bought that
at the fish man. He's in great shape. He's in
great shape. What I noticed about that clip or Tom
Brady on Thanksgiving made me say, HM, is they had
a moment. They showed a little montage of John Madden
(29:09):
doing color commentary talking about Tom Brady when Tom Brady
was a player, and they came back and they're like,
and now it's you Tom, full full circle moment. Now
Tom Brady is calling the game. And it's a weird
comparison when you think of how colorful John Madden was
as a color commentator, and then you think of Tom
(29:31):
Brady as a color commentator. Granted he's new at it,
but he'll never be John Madden. And I think we
have to change our expectations. I don't think he has
to be John Madden. He's Tom Brady. And I think
we have to shift our mindset a little bit. We
do have this expectation of, man, you better bring the
boom boom like John Madden did as a color commentator.
(29:54):
I think a lot of people think out the gate,
everyone's going to be as intriguing as Tony Romo was
remember the getting like man Tony Romo. They gave him
like twenty something million dollars at CBS. Yeah, exactly. So
our expectations are that And I'm not saying tom Brady's
bad at all. He's gonna get better and he's probably
great at everything he tries to do, and I'm rooting
for him, but I think we have to shift our
(30:17):
expectations on what he's gonna bring as a color commentator.
And it made me think that when they compared him
to John Madden. You also have to realize why certain
people are put in positions the same way. I hate
to say this about your boy, You're gonna get all insulted.
I know, uh, you don't talk bad about Derek Jeter
around Covino, But Derek Jeter does that playoff Baseball panel
(30:40):
because he's Derek Jeter, not because he's captain personality, right.
He does it because he's the biggest winner of our
life and much like Tom Brady, great perspective. Right. So,
But as far as colorful guys, I mean, tom Brady's
not a dud by any means, but he's no Seohn Madden.
Fun and colorful and then there's other people and just
(31:02):
their name and personality is great. Like do you watch
you ever see Gronk on these pregame shows? Yeah, for
sure they're like Gronk. What do you think he's like?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
In the second half, they got to score more points,
and I think.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
They'll be all right.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Bro, Like his analysis is worse than mine would be
if I was just thrown up there in a second
like Rock. But he's Gronk, so it works. So again,
it is a full circle moment, but it goes to
show you how how different that Tom Brady era will
be moving forward expectations. You said it best there. I mean,
(31:35):
we've been dealing with for twenty years. Have we not
realized that even twenty years later, Terry Bradshaw can't call
a play when they're doing the highlights at halftime, watching
them try to keep up with the prompter and the
reads and everything. They're there because they're funny legends. Yeah,
and I don't think that's on Tom Brady man. Tom
has to be Tom. I think that's on us. Let
(31:56):
me make that clear. I'm not talking smack. I'm a
Brady fan. Just made me think when they talked about it,
so things that made you go hmm in sports, in
life over the weekend, wicked glad eat or two. Whatever
it is he did, if it made you say hmm,
we want to hear from you next. But now we
have an update from our boy, Isaac Lowen cross.
Speaker 5 (32:16):

that with the news this afternoon announced by head coach
Kyle Shanahan. San Francisco running back Christian MacCaffrey will be

Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal finally. Also in
college football, a Syracuse, New York television reporter says that
during Saturday's Syracuse Miami game, she was hit on by
(33:18):
Miami's mascot, Sebastian the Ibis. Ashley When's Kosky of w
STM Television posted, quote, Sebastian the Ibis just kneeled down
and asked for my number mid drive. Feels like he
has bigger things to worry about with his team on
the ropes in the fourth quarter. But who am I
(33:39):
to say unquote no word yet if Sebastian the Ibis
invited her to a candlelight dinner of worms and insects
back to.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You, you know, otto the orange, very polite up in
the Syracuse area, very play. And by the way, guys
got to shoot a shot, right, got.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
To shoot your shot.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
As long as this is a I'm not mad at him, know, yeah,
so for good look a reporter, why not? Now something
else else that made me say, hmm, is this point
differential I saw regarding the Chiefs. The Chiefs just maybe.
In fact, statistically they are the worst eleven in one
team in NFL history. And we'll explain why. All right,
(34:16):
we'll tell you that and all the things that made
you say hmmm. Here on Fox Sports Radio HR we

(35:55):
Rich says he has and I agree with him, to
be honest, the best Super Bowl outcome possible if your
team's not in it. Yeah, I think explained. I think
we have the unanim It's like a unanis unanimous. But
the best, the best matchup, best matchup we have that.
I'm sorry, I was.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yeah agree, yeah, wait Take three could be like Daniel
Carlson right here and redeem yourself.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Rich unanimous. We'll get to that. You know, I was
what I was just reading. I'll make an excuse. I
was just looking at a meme. And I'm sure you've
seen this floating around this weekend. All you do is
look at memes. I mean, what do you look at?
What do you read novels? You? Uh, I can't even
say what I want to say. There was must be
(36:44):
plan correct if you don't want to say it. There
was a lot of memes. There are a lot of
memes floating around. Have you seen these as well where
they're comparing only fan model salaries to your highest end athletes,
Like I don't know how true it is, but they're
saying some of these girls are making like that Sophie
what's her name? Like there was someone who said that
(37:06):
she made more than judge and judge, yeah, so that
they were that.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
I had no idea who you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I looked her up and I'm like her Nope. My
first subscribing. My first thought was like, she's the one
that doesn't make sense. But you are seeing a lot
of women that are claiming and I don't know how
true it is, it seems like it is. There's a
lot of dumb guys, women that are making a level
athlete money doing OnlyFans, and it is just putting life
(37:32):
in perspective, and it's like, yo, if some of these
good looking women you know, don't have the same moral
code as others, you could, you could for a couple
of years make pro athlete money, which is wild. The
person you're talking about, her name is Sophie Rain's just
apparently she released her her income and her earnings for
this past year. She made forty three million on OnlyFans
(37:56):
to Aaron Judge's forty million that was his salary in
twenty twenty five war. And that's gone viral and people
are like, come on, you want to quit their job
and start an only fans page, Wasn't there There's some
actresses that said they made more and only fans and
all their movies put together. Thorne, Bella Thorne. Well, yeah,
that was a big story. And uh remember and that's
why were you're looking up Sophie Rains And that's how
(38:18):
that's what I got to say, you know, let me
then let me throw it out there now. That was
like the most long convoluted way to explain how and
why you can say unanimous. Well, let me explain my
unanimous thought. It is part of things that make you
go hmm. Now over the weekend, a lot of our
(38:39):
team's dreams are crashing week by week. As a Niners fan,
I'm coming to grips with it's over this year now
when your team's not in it. I know you're not
rooting for another team, but you got to ask yourself, well,
what matchup would you want to see if it's not
your team? Like not to pig on Danny G's Raiders,
but it's been a minute to your team was in contention,
(39:01):
So I'm sure come playoff time every year, you're like, well,
I guess i'd want to see this team of this team.
I've seen almost unanimous sentiment that Bill's Lions is the
super Bowl that the world wants to see. The only
other team that could jump in there might be the
Vikings because they've had such bad luck and everyone so
(39:23):
it feels for the Sam Darnold story and they're not
a hateable team. But Bill's are playing great and Josh
Allen's playing like an MVP, and the Lions are tough
as hell. Both teams have a lot to play for.
I think that is the one I agree with you.
I think when you look at the AFC, the unanimous
(39:45):
thing is that no one wants to see the Chiefs.
Three pet and I mentioned, how are the Chiefs the
worst eleven to one team in NFL history? This made
me say, hmm, because once again, they just beat out
your Raiders over the weekend. Danny, g they just beat
out the Raiders. What was in nineteen seventeen. They are
the worst eleven to one team ever since the nineteen
(40:08):
seventy merger. When it comes to total point differential, there's
only a fifty point differential between them and the losing team.
Oh yeah, when you add up all that, all the points, yeah,
I mean there because all those games that they barely
won have been really close.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
In the postgame, did you see the ref that Andy
Reid awarded the game ball to It was a.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Nice moment, Danny. I saw a lot of people, including
Sean Merriman, who hates the Raiders, you know, former charger. Yeah,
Sean Merriman said, isn't that penalty usually result in the
ball is dead like dead ball like that?
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, it turns out only in live play. So the
fact that the ball was spiked prior to that. It
made it an illegal motion instead of a shift, rather
instead of a motion. But Rich the problem with the
play and all the confusion was one of the referees.
If you watch the replay, the ref at the top
of the screen called illegal motion, but he was overruled
(41:05):
by the other referee.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
That was a wild then, but not the wildest or weirdest, because,
I mean, we saw what happened with the Bears, and
that made a satan. Matt Eber loosed his job. I
mean that guy thirty something seconds left as I love
that Tom. I'm sorry. Terry bratsch Off to the game,
and when they went back to Fox was very honest
in saying that's a you could get four plays in
(41:29):
thirty seconds. That was embarrassing. The fast yeah, and apparently
the locker of the price yea. The locker room players
were yelling at him and screaming at him after the game,
and it was very clear that it was all over
for him after that game. How do you find yourself
in field goal position? Well, you could run three maybe
four plays that made a sat that was terrible. Well,
we'll go over all of your observations this week in
(41:52):
the NFL next on a Monday. Seeing our HANGTIGHTE
