Speaker 4 (01:15):
All right, there's no NBA, no NHL, there's no college basketball,
there's no NFL. Nothing on this Christmas Eve.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
There is no volleyball. That's over.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
What I know.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Penn State one National champions Yes, all number one seeds
advanced to the final four.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Penn State just nice to see.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Do they cut down that net'? That's my question. That's
a lot of that. It's a lot of nets. But
I think that you should. I have no idea, but
if anybody can answer that in the next two hours.
My buddy John Audiis is the play by play voice
of the Wisconsin Badger women's volleyball team. Would national championship
a couple of years ago? And maybe I could reach
(01:59):
out to him and get that answer.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yes, would you do?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Would you wrap that around yourself like a cape? Not
for the for the for the winning coach since it's
so long? No, like you clear you can't put like
because usually you put like the net over top of
a trophy from the basketball, right, but this is such
such a big nut.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, it was just more about the joke of cutting
the net down that stuff. I just want to I
want to that's what you do.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I actually would like to know what that? Yeah, do
you take that with you? Do you share it?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You know? There are a lot of different things that
you can do with it, Like when you win a
Final four, you can keep the court. You can purchase
the court, the floor, yeah, the floorboard and the actual floor. Yeah, toy,
we'll get you, Chris, just hold on a sack. You
can actually purchase the floor and you can cut it up.
You can use it as like a fundraiser, like, hey,
(02:49):
own a piece of our championship floor. Some schools have
taken the center logo and like posted it on the wall.
There's different Yeah, different ways to do it. Yeah, there's that. Yeah,
you just it's it's like a momento, little keepsake sort
of deal.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Every single time the Dodgers do a renovation, we get
fans that are like, are you keeping those seats? Can
we take the bench? Can I take the dirt? Can
we take the grass? Like every single time anything that
they can get and we're doing renovations now if you
haven't seen it on social media, but you can check
it out and right now, everything that they're removing is
going back on. So there's nothing you can take everything
(03:25):
that's been over. But every single time, can we take
the bench, Can I take this? Can I take this plant?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
You're not gonna need this anymore because the new renovations.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I can take this, and it's like, no, they're putting
it back. They're putting it back on. They're renovating, but
they're putting it back.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Because of the net being so big. I think you
could take clips of that net and then sell it
for fundraising efforts if you wanted to.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
If you put it with the hands the team photo,
a little piece of the net.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Absolutely, I think you should be able to keep the net.
We're going to get to the bottom of this. We
are for sure, at least at some point here in
the next two hours. The topic at hand, though, is football,
and this is where you come into play. We want
to hear your feedback because I got to experience something
this past weekend, Manzi, that I really haven't experienced in
(04:13):
a long time, and it's life as a normal person
during football season on a Sunday, because normally every Sunday
I am in our studio with Kerrie Rhoads from five
Eastern until eight o'clock Eastern time, as we watch the
late games of the NFL schedule, and I'm usually here
(04:36):
earlier to watch the early games so I know what
happens in those games and then we can talk about them.
So it's a seven hour day of football. When there's
a London game, sometimes maybe I'll sleep in, maybe it'll
be a second half deal. Got to give us a break.
On the West Coast, it is a six thirty starter,
six fifteen start around that point, so it's not like
(04:57):
the East Coast where you get it at nine point thirty.
That's when we get our normal football at ten o'clock.
But to watch NonStop seven hours of football is my life,
and it's a life that I think very fortunate to have.
And I'm able to watch that football. But this past weekend,
when I was home with family and we had a
Christmas get together, it was different. My aunt and uncle
(05:22):
did not have Sunday ticket, so you are prisoner to
the local game, and they only had one local game
in that early window, and that was Jets Rams Nice,
so that's what you're privy to. And then later on
it was Seahawks Vikings and I was excited because of
the Seahawks. Playing as a Seahawks fan, they were all
(05:44):
cheering against the Vikings because they're Packers fans, and I'm like,
this is great, this works really well. And I think
maybe Niners Dolphins was on the other channel at that point.
But so we saw a lot of Rams Jets, saw
a bunch of Vikings Seahawks. But then at halftime, my
son fell asleep in going from my aunt's house to
my mom's house and we had to get out of town.
(06:05):
So we decided to get out of town and hit
the road, and I had the game on the phone
for the second half of the drive of the game.
The reason why I'm telling you my boring story here
is because I didn't get to see all the games
like I normally do. And now with the NFL having
games on Wednesday, having games on Thursday, having games on Saturday,
(06:29):
having games on Sunday, having games on Monday, that's just
this week. When is it too much football? We've talked
about too much football in a day on Sunday when
you have the London game and it goes all the
way through the Sunday night. But how during a holiday
season do you navigate this? So This is what I
want to know from you. The listener score of one
to five or zero to five. If you're not gonna
(06:50):
watch any of it, what boxes are you checking off?
Are you gonna watch three of the five days, you're
gonna watch four of the five days you're gonna watch five,
you're gonna do one. That's what I want to know
from you, because I want to know how you will
consume football.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It's too much football when you spread it out like this,
and it has nothing even to do with the holidays,
because obviously that adds to it. But if this was
a regular week in September and I have all of
these games, it's a chunk of your day where you
have to plan around it. And luckily for us, like
we come to work and we have everything, but it
(07:24):
would be hard because it's like if I'm here all
day Sunday with you watching, It's like, all right, I
spend my entire Sunday, But I don't feel like I've
lost the whole week. I just one day spent on football.
I'm cool with that. But if you asked me to
separate it across five days, I don't know if I
could do that.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
It's a lot.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
It's a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It's a lot to take in the Sunday night game
when it's not must see TV. For me, I felt
that Sunday Night Football is actually too much football, and
I don't like how it's the now Marquee window. I
actually liked it when it was Monday night football. It's
something I've talked about a bunch here on this network
and even here on Convene Rich and have done an
Undug Gottlieb show as well. If I had to get
a give it go away from one window of the
(08:06):
national football season, it's the Sunday night football window because
I'm watching it all day. But then I realize that's
not for everybody. In fact, people have commitments on Sunday.
Maybe they've got soccer matches to go to, or basketball tournaments,
or maybe there's just family get together, so there's a
dance recital, and there's Cub Scouts and Boys Scouts and
(08:26):
all that stuff that's going on, and so the only
game that you can see is Sunday night because nothing
else is going on at that point. And it's difficult
from this chair that we talk about football because it's
your job to watch the games. It's my job to
watch the games. So you try to watch as much
as you can. But I just don't know how many
people who live a normal life that's not in the
(08:50):
media that needs to follow football would be watching for
five straight days, especially Manzi during a holiday time when
one of the windows is on Christmas Day. I've talked
about my family never had the NBA games on, and
then when I moved out here and everybody was like, oh, yeah, Lakers,
Lakers are playing on Christmas Day. That was like a
normal tradition. That was weird for me. That was odd
(09:11):
because it was never a consideration when I was living
back in the Midwest. So we ask you, what does
your scorecard look like zero to five of these five
days of football that you've got that the NFL is
giving you in week sixteen, how many boxes can you
check off? And if you can't check out all of them,
tell us why you're not going to watch on Thursday
or why you're not going to watch on Saturday. If
(09:33):
you're only doing one box, tell us why you're going
to watch that box and ignore the others. That's what
we want to know today here on Cavino and rich Manci.
If you have your scorecard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what is
a reasonable? Is three reasonable? Or do you think you
need to be in the four range to be like
real football fan?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I just think it's hard. It's like I would like
to be in the four range, you know, I would
like to, But just looking at the schedule, I'm like
that Thursday game, I don't know if I'm I'm gonna
watch that game.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
To be honest with you, And it's the Seahawks and Bears.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I know it's the Sea and it would be a
good game to watch. I just don't I'm trying to
like think, okay, if I if I'm gonna see any family,
any friends, Like you're not. My friends aren't big sports
fans unfortunately, so they're not gonna be like, yeah, let's
hang out on the twenty six and watch this game.
They're not gonna tell me that. So I'm already looking
(10:26):
at my I don't think I'm gonna be able to
watch that game on the twenty six. I think you're
gonna get me watching two days of football, like really watching.
It's probably gonna be two days for me Christmas games
and then Sunday.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I think the NFL may be in for a root
awakening on this Netflix deal. Not as many people have
Netflix as you would think, and that's where I think
with these games, with just watching them this past Saturday,
there's also the separation anxiety where the NFL, it's when
you have it a week and sure we have Thursday
(10:59):
I games and a wetscher appetite a little bit, but
I still feel like we're just coming off of a
weekend where we had full football and now we've got
more full football. Obviously Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Houston and Kansas City
will be locked in. These games are of importance to
the playoff picture, even though all these teams are in
the AFC playoffs already. But I just wonder on how
(11:20):
many people will actually go out and get Netflix and
like we did for the Peacock playoff game or for
the Amazon pack. Even the Amazon package is a little
different because you're like, Okay, well, every Thursday, I can
get this, and you know what, I can use my
Amazon Prime account and can benefit from the shopping aspect
of it. I just don't feel that the Netflix viewing
(11:42):
options are really going to be giving us great options
for tomorrow, and I think that is going to be
one of the windows that people are going to leave out.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Well, I mean, I hear what you're saying about Netflix,
but can people are going to buy a month of
Netflix for these games they're going to be willing to do.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Eagles fan, and you have Christmas at your cousins, are
you buying Netflix? Are you? I see what you're saying,
And that's the that's the dilemma of this. It's different
if you're sitting at home or if you've got someplace
to go. Maybe maybe the cousin ends up buying Netflix
because they're having Christmas. But if you're not a fan
(12:20):
of that team or of those teams, are you going
to have something on just to have it on? Maybe?
Well then just turn on the NBA, right, No, you
don't have to subscribe to the to the Netflix game.
In that aspect, the Saturday game is this past weekend.
Monzy kind of got lost lost in the shuffle for
me for some of the stuff that we were doing,
(12:42):
even the College Football Playoff for that matter, because you're
doing stuff on Saturday afternoon. I don't know. I don't
think this is a great idea for the NFL to
to try to put these games in on a on
a Wednesday on a Christmas Day, But then Monty expect
us to also watch on Thursday night, expect us to
watch the tripleheader on Saturday, then watch a normal week
(13:02):
on Sunday, and then take in Niners Lions on Monday night.
It's just too much.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Do you make an excellent point of like are people
even gonna really watch this or are they gonna have
it on in the background while they're gathering and opening
presence tomorrow? Because the first game is uh one Eastern.
So I guess if you're on the East coast, maybe
you've already done your presence and stuff. Maybe maybe maybe
you haven't. Maybe you like to do it in the
middle of the day. So it is interesting, like did
the NFL make the right move here? Because Christmas NBA
(13:29):
games you can easily have them on in the background.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, just turn into ABC or ESPN.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
No problem, and then you, oh, look at okay, Greg
Lebron made a Shaw or Curry whatever. This is different.
You're right, are they actually gonna watch these games and
pay attention to them?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Never in the history on Christmas if we had to say, Denise,
what's your password? Like that, like that's what's gonna be
That's what's gonna be happening. Anthony's I need to get
the game on, and then it becomes more of an issue.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
And imagine this streaming that it's gonna it's gonna be messy.
It's not gonna be as clean of a connection because
if everyone's jumping on Netflix, it's not going to be
a clean connection.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Chris Purfet, our technical producer.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
So, as full disclosure, I did buy a month of Netflix.
But I do feel like there is like you were
used to football on Thanksgiving, that's the football holiday you
and that's again over the air, like you say, versus
you have Netflix who already bungled this with with the
Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight, and I think that's fresh
in people's minds if you were paying attention at all
(14:29):
what happened with how Netflix carried that that Like, oh okay,
Netflix has already shown you they're they're still struggling with
you know, live live events on this. But I mean,
these teams have all this is gonna be a third
game that all four of these teams on Christmas will
have played in ten days as well, So we're talking
about I think for a lot of people. How good
(14:51):
is the actual good is this gonna be?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean like I think packers and lines both had
to play three games and eleven days as well, because
they went straight from Thanksgiving to thir today night football
the next week. But this is even worse. And this
is with all teams who are like in the AFC
playoff picture and suddenly they're just gonna be dog exhausted
on a service that's not great. Like has questions, I
think you're right. I'm just really curious how this might hack.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Also just made me think of like maybe people are planning, Okay,
I'm gonna watch these games, and then you're gonna be
pooped and exhausted from the holidays, and then you're not
gonna watch them. Maybe you think you're gonna watch them.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, football works on Thanksgiving because you're like just you're
exhausted from that. You're sitting down from the food and digesting.
This is just you got kids running around, you're gonna have.
There's too much going It's to open I low, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
As it relates to this discussion, and another interesting element
for perspective is for a generation, Christmas belonged to the NBA,
but how many of us are planning or even thinking
to watch an NBA game tomorrow. And I'm not sure
offhand people around the country would even memorize even know
(15:59):
who's playing in the NBA on Christmas. It used to be, oh,
two weeks from now, it's the Bulls Nicks on Christmas,
or the Lakers and the Celtics rematch. So even if
it might be overkill, it's still dominating the sport that
used to dominate Christmas.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Again. It was such an eye opener on my family
would watch the Lakers, my wife's family, they would watch
the Lakers on Christmas because it was never something that
was even if the Bucks were good back then, back
in Wisconsin, I don't think it would have been something
to just turn on. Maybe it's on in the background,
because that's the case. But never did I walk into
my aunt's place and be like, oh, the NBA games
(16:38):
on one of these TVs. It was not just not
so I'm marking on my scorecard. Something's probably going to go.
By the wayside. I would love to say five out
of five, and I'm going to say four out of five.
I actually think Saturday may take a little bit of
a hit for me because you and I are in
on Thursday doing these doing Doug Gottlieb and Cavino and Rich,
so we'll want to see what happens. On Wednesday. We
(16:59):
got a smaller get together, although I just find out
that we have to go to my father in laws.
He doesn't have Netflix, so now I got to work
around that. And I was in. See, this is the
other problem. You're already have our family and you can't
settle on who's actually having Christmas twenty four hours out
from Christmas. That's one problem. Now I got to figure
out if we can actually get Netflix on my father
in law's TV. These are the problems. I'm gonna put
(17:21):
four or five. What does your score book say of
the five days? Well, Sundays already, Yeah, you're okay, so
you're in tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
I mean, so tomorrow I'll be watching Thursday. I have
a Netflix goes by the wayside for you yoursday go. I'm
not gonna watch Thursday, and then I am gonna be
I will watch Saturday, probably the Broncos Bengals game, because
I work and I'm gonna be here all right, but
I won't. I don't think i'm gonna watch that Cardinals
Rams game. I don't think I'm gonna get to it.
And then Sunday I'm back to work, so it's like,
(17:50):
I'm I'm working, so I'll be watching, but I think
if I'm not working, I'm not gonna be watching. It's
it's busy times.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Chris Profeta. I know you've got a busy work schedule,
but what is your scorecard?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So I'll be here, and i'll be here on sat.
Thursday is my day off. I think I'll be watching
all of this because football is my favorite sport, NFL
is my favorite uh and and you know I cover
a team for the NFL too. But at the same time,
I'm just thinking the entire time, I better not get
locked out of Netflix because they're going to detect a
different ip and be like, oh, you're sharing, you're sharing,
(18:20):
how dare you were shutting down your account? So unless
that happens, I'll probably watch all of it. But I
think I'm the exception, not the rule, because I am
a football fiende.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yeah, I think I'm kind of between Monsey and Chris.
I'll probably I think three is kind of my my
sweet spot. I'm kind of at a three.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Definitely for three. Yes, I'm at.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
A three because I'm going to watch everything on Christmas
and I you know, I'm probably I'm going to watch Thursday.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I don't even know why.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You don't have to make that face. I think she's
making it more for the Bears.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I was making it more for the Bears. It's nothing personal.
I love the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Go I've made that face when Gina's Smith through another interception.
He's not the problem, though, a glowing crown.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Your scorecards five for five because of the work component.
But if I was just a civilian and work was
not involved, it would be four or five, and unfortunately
the Thursday game would fall by the wayside of it
was a more attractive matchup because of the more because
of the Bears than the Seahawks st.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Patriots. It's much watch TV.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Geez me hating on the charges as the Patriots that
took the Bills almost to the watch.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's right, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Just that we're going to San Diego. Doug's in San
Diego walking to Cavino and Rich Doug, what does your
football scorecard look like this weekend?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Doug, I'm concerned about you, guys. I think I got
a hanky for Dan and a bears he so he
can cry in it.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The more the merrier, And I'm coming you right now.
These hatings on the Christmas Day thing for Netflix are
going to go through the room. Can be the NFL
cannot lose anything on TV.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Oh, I think that they are. They They are going
to be in for a surprise. It is going to be.
This isn't Tyson Paul. I see enough of Patrick Mahomes already.
I don't need to log in to see him even
more tomorrow. This is this is Dougs. Doug's on the
five for five sort of.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Deal seems that way. Yeah, if this was not Netflix,
maybe it would be a successful day for the NFL,
But it's it is streaming.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Jennifer's in Minnesota. Jennifer, Welcome to Cavino and rich Oh Michigan. Sorry,

I follow the Lions, but I won't be watching the
game because they'll be in bed when they start. I know.
I'm not at the age where I should be going
to bed that early, but I get up sorely, so
you know, I can only stay up for so long.
But I only follow the Lions. I'm not watching any

Speaker 4 (22:55):
I am actually on the Nori ed Santa tracker as
we speak. Yes, and currently Santa is I believe over Spain.
If I got this, Yes, I'm going to zoom out.
I'm going to zoo. Excuse me, excuse me, I was
(23:15):
I was wrong. The globe moved. Santa is currently over Africa,
near Senegal, where, yes, that's where Santa is. That is
that is what Norad attracts. Santa gifts delivered right now
over four billion according to nor Ad, So yes, Santa
(23:37):
is making his way. He will be making his way
to the United States very soon.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Are you going to dress up as Santa for Brody?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
No? I won't be dressing up. You know, there will
be no no dressing up whatsoever. But I don't need to.
Santa's going to be coming tonight. And yeah, yeah, it
was iffy at times. He was. It was iffy a
little bit. Santa was watching, somebody just wasn't listening. Somebody
just not listening at all, tuning Daddy out, and we
(24:04):
had to say, hey, come on, Santa's Santa's watching, and
he did what he needed to do, picked up the dinosaurs,
and all was good.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Oh there we go. Good job, good job, Brody.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
We are broadcasting laugh.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Did ye?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Sorry? I THENT. We moved on from that. We are
broadcasting laughter at tirect dot com Studios. All right, let's
talk about love or lack thereof Travis Hunter, Heisman Trophy
winning wide receiver, defensive back, all purpose player for the
University of Colorado. It's getting all of the headlines MANSI
not for what he's done on the field, although he's
been honored by All American and all of those places
(24:48):
Heisman Trophy winner, but it's what's been going on with
his love life that has well, I guess everybody up
in arms where people are now chiming in on what's
should happen with Travis Hunter and his five year girlfriend
Leanna Linney. Is this a place that we need to go.
(25:10):
Should we be talking about Travis Hunter and his girlfriend?
Is this just an off limit sort of topic or
should we be able to comment because people are commenting
about this, But it's how they're commenting that is apparently
turning Travis Hunter off and his teammate and friends should
or Sanders telling people to stop talking. Is it fair
(25:32):
game when you're a Heisman Trophy winning player to have
people talk about your relationship.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I don't think it's fair game, even though this is
where we are right it just kind of exploded. I
I don't think so because I still consider Travis Hunter
a young adult, right like he's not he's not in
the NFL, he's still in school, So I don't think
it's fair to him. And it's so bucks and I
(26:02):
hate that it's happening to him. But there is a
lot of discourse. And this is really all because nowadays
everything is on video and nobody's deleting these videos. And
when you do become somebody like Travis Hunter, where you are,
everyone is talking about you and your girlfriend tends to
(26:23):
be a topic of conversation that she keeps adding to it.
She keeps also adding to it. It's not just him.
She's also not making it any better.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
We saw the video of her being frustrated at a
senior day in Boulder and apparently giving him the cold shoulder.
We had then heard.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Because he was taking pictures with women. Yes, yeah, just
in case you didn't know.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
And then we had seen which it happens in your
star football player. But that's why she was angry. You
sounded like like that was a legitimate reason for her
to be upset.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Well, because I would be at that age. I think
I would be jealous at that age. I'm just being
giving it one hundred. I think I would sit there
and of course let him do it, but I would
also be side eyeing him and be like, okay, girl
number seven coming over here, Okay, I get that, I do.
I get that. I'm not saying it's okay. I get
the jealousy on that side of it.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
For her, then there's already a problem because if you're
going to be one of the players and stars of
the National Football leagueuse you're a current star in college football,
that comes with the territory. I agree, that completely comes
with the territory, and if your significant other has a
problem with it, then I think there are going to
be problems. So strike one. Then the Heisman Trophy ceremony,
(27:46):
when she seemed to be frustrated and not happy that
he was signing with fans, But then Travis sunder says, no,
there was a miscommunication about what they were going to
do with the family. But still not a great look.
But I'll give her a pass on that if it's
a miscommunic miscommunication on their end and not given to
(28:07):
the public, like if she's mad about something that's going
on behind the scenes, we don't know necessarily the whole story,
and he's taking pictures with fans at a Heisman event.
Maybe she's mad about something different. I'll give him the
benefit of the doubt about that, But to your point,
if he's taking pictures with girls and she's angry and
then she has the same reaction at a Heisman events
(28:28):
where he's oddly enough taking pictures, seems to be a
common thread. Now there's another element of the story where
there's a video that's apparently come out of her, possibly
with another person, So maybe she wasn't being faithful in
the relationship. This is where it gets out of control.
(28:50):
I don't mind people talking about this scenario because Travis
Hunter is in the public eye and he's soon going
to be in the National Football League, and it is
all things are are fair game. I just don't think
Travis Hunter, like others, puts himself out there as much.
This is this is kind of being forced upon him
(29:11):
as opposed to and if it was, I feel Shador
Sanders is more out there and putting himself out there
where it would be more fair. It'd be a fair
situation if we were to look at it. If sha
Door Sanders is putting his relationship out there but Travis
Hunter is not, it's just that we're seeing it pop
up in all of these places, and I feel that
(29:31):
the people who are commenting about it are actually commenting
from a good space. But it seems I don't know
if it's if it's hypocritical, or if it's just a
way that doesn't mix, because it feels like you're saying
things for your own good and that would even mean
you and me talking here. Are we using their relationship
(29:51):
and their difficulties in a relationship as a platform to
us to elevate ourselves because we're talking about it, Like
if you're Shannon Sharp and you're talking about it on
first take or former player, because I know that he's
spoken about it and he's Travis Hunter and shud Or
Sanders have said all right, stop talking about the relationship.
Shannon Sharp could do that privately as a former NFL
(30:13):
player and someone I'm sure with a pretty good relationship
with Dion, where you would be able to say, hey,
let me talk to this kid and let him know.
That's the other factor of it. She doesn't stand up
at what the heisman.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
That to me was the worst of it all. To me,
I don't know if she's been unfaithful. I have not
gone down the rabbit hole of seeing their timeline because
it's none of our business, right we are talking about it,
But I think we're talking about it the way we
are because you just hit it on the head, Travis Hunter.
The people talking about it, they're trying to protect him.
They're trying to help him because they feel that maybe
(30:46):
he's being taken advantage of for the success that he
has now and the success that he will have. But
that girl not standing when he won the Heisman and
having Deon Sanders tell her to get up to me
says so much. I don't know how you weren't standing
jumping up and down for your boy. How are you not?
He just won the Heisman, and it's like it's it's disappointing,
and then all the other things happening, it's like, I don't,
(31:09):
I don't know who you are, girl, but it's hard
to defend you, and I don't. I think all of
the all the discussion is happening because people really care
about Travis Hunter, and they care about his future and
they don't want him to kind of be misled this
early on in his in his successful career. It's like,
you have so much to look forward to, don't. Don't
(31:32):
let don't get stuck somewhere being misled because you're a
good guy. Because there's a story that he would take
her to parties and wait for her outside, Like he
just seems like a good dude, and we've never seen
that's what. That's too good of a dude. I agree
with you, we've never seen something like this. Obviously, social
media is a big part of it because there's the
(31:54):
people that are trying to protect him, and then I
think there's the people who are nobody's who are trying
to make it worse and they're the ones bringing out
these videos. Those Yeah, those people suck.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yes, yes they do, because they're trying to make a
name for themselves.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Right, they're trying to get something out of it, or
make things bad for him because they're jealous of him
or whatever it may be.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
But it may not be the worst thing in the
world to be brought out.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
I yes, you make a point. I guess we're talking
about the breed. Had yeh know that this guy was
making sweatshirts out of it, or like a T shirt
with the printed image and like the the girlfriend at
a party, Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
We don't need merch We don't need merch of someone
cheating on someone else. That is not That is not
what I agree with that. I feel that if you
are in a place of a former professional athlete, that
you have the resources to talk to Travis Hunter privately,
that's a very good poston to show them the pitfalls
(32:58):
of what could happen to someone who's transitioning into the
professional game. Now college football, by the way, doesn't seem
to amateurish, that it's more of a professional game. So
maybe this ends up coming with a territory. Maybe this
happens to future athletes and they need to watch out.
I do think that everybody does have Travis Hunter's best
(33:20):
interest in mind, but there are only so many people
that can reach him, and those that can reach him
probably shouldn't be doing it on a public platform because
you have the ability to do that. The other fact
of the matter, and I don't want to tell debate
shows or tell us to shut up and not talk
about it, because we are talking about it. But if
(33:42):
there's anybody to tell him or to let him know
about what life could be like in the NFL and
what are some of the pitfalls and things that you
may find or come upon it's Deion Sanders, it's his
head coach, and so there's a personal relationship there. It
would be difficult in in a way to not overlook
that because I think Dion does have a say in
(34:04):
all of this and maybe there's just more to the story.
I think it's unfortunate because he's a really good kid,
and if this video is true, it makes him end
up looking you know, a bit foolish. But I yeah,
it's just it's it's really really tough, especially with a
twenty one year old kid, Senor Sanders coming out and saying, hey,
you know, sticking up for his guy, of people talking
(34:24):
about nobody's really sticking up for her, and it's just
been more of a Travis thing. It's just very very odd.
But I think to your point that they are looking
out for his best interest.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Yeah, and I don't know this girl's history, because it
could also be it's like, do people not like her
and that's why they're pulling this out. It's again trying
to open his eyes, right, like everyone's trying to show
him something. Yeah, look at the type of girl that
you are with and they've been together for years. It's
what the reports are you and this.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Is this is the tricky part about it. But years Christmas,
I thought they were they met in high school, like
I thought there was I thought it's a five year relationship,
is what I.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Understood, dating since sixteen.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
If that's that could be yeah, very you know, not
uncommon if that was the case. Right, we were talking
during one of the breaks about Real Housewives. Do you
remember it? Maybe you weren't watching at that point, but
in Orange County when Vicky just loved Brooks, and Brooks
(35:26):
was this this sly guy, and all of her friends
are like, open up your eyes, this guy is a
but she was smitten. And maybe people have all been there.
Maybe there was a boyfriend or a girlfriend in the
past that just for some reason casts the spell over
you that you would be willing to overlook those things.
(35:47):
That's what I think people are trying to do with
Travis Hunter. They're not trying to make a buck off
of his name or trying to bring him down there.
They are just trying to look out for him. But
because this is all played out so publicly, and I
don't think I don't think she's, if you will, a
gold digger because she's been with him for five years,
she's He's was the number one recruit, went to Jackson State.
(36:08):
She stayed with him when it wasn't a guarantee that
Deanna would go and get a D one job and
that Travis Hunter would follow him and then go to Colorado.
The ultimate goal was obviously go to the NFL, and
he was destined for the NFL. But all of this
stuff that's happened over the last couple of years, if
they've been together for five years, was not stuff that
you could plan or think of. So I think that
(36:28):
there is some legitimacy there. It's just of all of
the warning signs of this is what could happen in
your life, whether you were with her for one year
for five years, these are the problems that you can entail,
and I think people are just seeing it play out
in a public fashion. If you're getting sick of him
taking pictures now when he's just started to become famous,
wait till he gets to the National Football League and
(36:49):
now as a Heisman Trophy winner. It's only going to
be five and tenfold. That's something that you will never
I don't want to say shake because it sounds like
the negative, but you're never going to get past you.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
You know, this is just the beginning, just the tip
of the iceberg as to what his life could be.
But if you have been with this guy for five years,
you have seen the work that he has put in.
And I can't get over her not standing when he
won the Heisman. I feel like that says so much
about her support or how she views him. I know
(37:21):
that's crazy, but I can't get over that. Like everything else,
It's like, yeah, she had a history before him, right,
She's entitled to have a history before him. That just
says so much about how she supports her Man. It's
not easy playing football, it's not easy playing both sides
of the ball. And he wins something and she just
(37:44):
sits there. It doesn't it bothers me for all of the.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Work that he put in for that moment that.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
You should know firsthand how much work he put in.
You would have everyone should know. If he took you
to parties and waited for you outside, he was probably
still in the playbook. Well you were having a cocktail?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Does Brian spoke up about it? And pac Man Jones
till does Brian to shut up? So now you have
some NFL on NFL on two sides of the story,
and to not say anything. If I if I'm picking
a side, which is what we normally do here, I
would say not say anything for the fact of you've
(38:23):
got Dion in your corner. Yeah, there are other avenues
to do it. It's probably best to not say anything.
And I realized full while I'm saying that, after We've
just spent eighteen minutes talking about this relationship.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Again, it's just because we care about Travis Hunter, right,
It's like that's what everybody like. I agree with you.
I think most people are just trying to look out
for him. We did get tweeted at, which I don't
necessarily think it's the same. I think we're comparing apples
and oranges here, but bake here, oh bakes Yeah, yeah, man,
(38:56):
Titeo turned out. Okay, Trus Hunter figure it out with
all of our social input.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
I agree we should not be talking about this in
the first place. And again, we've been talking about it
because that's just where we are. But I think the
man's I tail situation was a little bit different. I
don't think it's exactly.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
What we're talking about. We're not talking about this relationship
we're talking about people talking about this relationship, which is
even more of the critical I think.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Oh but Manti Tale was dealing not with a real
co Yeah yeah, that fish right, So I don't think
it's the same. But I get he makes the points
like he turned out okay, Travis Hunter will be okay,
and uh, maybe this is just exactly what he needed
to happen. You know, maybe this is all good for
(39:41):
Travis Hunter.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
If it ends up falling apart, there's going to be
a rush to the window of I told you sos right,
that's what it's it's going to be. But I would
also think I try to think back to myself at
twenty one, what would I think in that relationship? And
if you've been with someone for five years and you're
twenty one years old, I don't think that you you
see life. You can't see life without that person, right. Yeah,
(40:05):
it's a foreign concept and it's something that you would
maybe learn later on in life. And no matter what
anybody tells you, it's just tough to grasp that there
could be a life without this person. So even though
this person may not be kind to you in public
areas and maybe mad when you're taking pictures. Your life
is can only be viewed in the scope of this
(40:28):
person is in your life now, ten twenty years down
the line. He may feel differently when you when you
get older and you learn things. And I'm not saying
that he's gonna learn, That's not what I'm saying. It's
just the point is is when you hear that young
and you're in love and someone's been in your life
for that long, it's a significant part of your life
and to not have them there is just a foreign concept.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
All he knows, especially at that age, it's all he knows.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Yeah, his football stardom has been with her the whole time.
So even if there is another video, there's no guarantee
that if she did something wrong that he would even
leave her in the first place. So it's probably best
to leave it alone. But we'll still talk about it
here on Communo on Rich on Fox Sports Radio. She's
Monzi Blagos. I'm Dan Byer in for the guys who
are in for Dan Patrick earlier today. I'd love to

Speaker 4 (01:15):
All right, there's no NBA, no NHL, there's no college basketball,
there's no NFL. Nothing on this Christmas Eve.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
There is no volleyball. That's over.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
What I know.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Penn State one National champions Yes, all number one seeds
advanced to the final four.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Penn State just nice to see.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Do they cut down that net'? That's my question. That's
a lot of that. It's a lot of nets. But
I think that you should. I have no idea, but
if anybody can answer that in the next two hours.
My buddy John Audiis is the play by play voice
of the Wisconsin Badger women's volleyball team. Would national championship
a couple of years ago? And maybe I could reach
(01:59):
out to him and get that answer.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yes, would you do?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Would you wrap that around yourself like a cape? Not
for the for the for the winning coach since it's
so long? No, like you clear you can't put like
because usually you put like the net over top of
a trophy from the basketball, right, but this is such
such a big nut.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, it was just more about the joke of cutting
the net down that stuff. I just want to I
want to that's what you do.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I actually would like to know what that? Yeah, do
you take that with you? Do you share it?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You know? There are a lot of different things that
you can do with it, Like when you win a
Final four, you can keep the court. You can purchase
the court, the floor, yeah, the floorboard and the actual floor. Yeah, toy,
we'll get you, Chris, just hold on a sack. You
can actually purchase the floor and you can cut it up.
You can use it as like a fundraiser, like, hey,
(02:49):
own a piece of our championship floor. Some schools have
taken the center logo and like posted it on the wall.
There's different Yeah, different ways to do it. Yeah, there's that. Yeah,
you just it's it's like a momento, little keepsake sort
of deal.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Every single time the Dodgers do a renovation, we get
fans that are like, are you keeping those seats? Can
we take the bench? Can I take the dirt? Can
we take the grass? Like every single time anything that
they can get and we're doing renovations now if you
haven't seen it on social media, but you can check
it out and right now, everything that they're removing is
going back on. So there's nothing you can take everything
(03:25):
that's been over. But every single time, can we take
the bench, Can I take this? Can I take this plant?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
You're not gonna need this anymore because the new renovations.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I can take this, and it's like, no, they're putting
it back. They're putting it back on. They're renovating, but
they're putting it back.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Because of the net being so big. I think you
could take clips of that net and then sell it
for fundraising efforts if you wanted to.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
If you put it with the hands the team photo,
a little piece of the net.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Absolutely, I think you should be able to keep the net.
We're going to get to the bottom of this. We
are for sure, at least at some point here in
the next two hours. The topic at hand, though, is football,
and this is where you come into play. We want
to hear your feedback because I got to experience something
this past weekend, Manzi, that I really haven't experienced in
(04:13):
a long time, and it's life as a normal person
during football season on a Sunday, because normally every Sunday
I am in our studio with Kerrie Rhoads from five
Eastern until eight o'clock Eastern time, as we watch the
late games of the NFL schedule, and I'm usually here
(04:36):
earlier to watch the early games so I know what
happens in those games and then we can talk about them.
So it's a seven hour day of football. When there's
a London game, sometimes maybe I'll sleep in, maybe it'll
be a second half deal. Got to give us a break.
On the West Coast, it is a six thirty starter,
six fifteen start around that point, so it's not like
(04:57):
the East Coast where you get it at nine point thirty.
That's when we get our normal football at ten o'clock.
But to watch NonStop seven hours of football is my life,
and it's a life that I think very fortunate to have.
And I'm able to watch that football. But this past weekend,
when I was home with family and we had a
Christmas get together, it was different. My aunt and uncle
(05:22):
did not have Sunday ticket, so you are prisoner to
the local game, and they only had one local game
in that early window, and that was Jets Rams Nice,
so that's what you're privy to. And then later on
it was Seahawks Vikings and I was excited because of
the Seahawks. Playing as a Seahawks fan, they were all
(05:44):
cheering against the Vikings because they're Packers fans, and I'm like,
this is great, this works really well. And I think
maybe Niners Dolphins was on the other channel at that point.
But so we saw a lot of Rams Jets, saw
a bunch of Vikings Seahawks. But then at halftime, my
son fell asleep in going from my aunt's house to
my mom's house and we had to get out of town.
(06:05):
So we decided to get out of town and hit
the road, and I had the game on the phone
for the second half of the drive of the game.
The reason why I'm telling you my boring story here
is because I didn't get to see all the games
like I normally do. And now with the NFL having
games on Wednesday, having games on Thursday, having games on Saturday,
(06:29):
having games on Sunday, having games on Monday, that's just
this week. When is it too much football? We've talked
about too much football in a day on Sunday when
you have the London game and it goes all the
way through the Sunday night. But how during a holiday
season do you navigate this? So This is what I
want to know from you. The listener score of one
to five or zero to five. If you're not gonna
(06:50):
watch any of it, what boxes are you checking off?
Are you gonna watch three of the five days, you're
gonna watch four of the five days you're gonna watch five,
you're gonna do one. That's what I want to know
from you, because I want to know how you will
consume football.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It's too much football when you spread it out like this,
and it has nothing even to do with the holidays,
because obviously that adds to it. But if this was
a regular week in September and I have all of
these games, it's a chunk of your day where you
have to plan around it. And luckily for us, like
we come to work and we have everything, but it
(07:24):
would be hard because it's like if I'm here all
day Sunday with you watching, It's like, all right, I
spend my entire Sunday, But I don't feel like I've
lost the whole week. I just one day spent on football.
I'm cool with that. But if you asked me to
separate it across five days, I don't know if I
could do that.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
It's a lot.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
It's a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It's a lot to take in the Sunday night game
when it's not must see TV. For me, I felt
that Sunday Night Football is actually too much football, and
I don't like how it's the now Marquee window. I
actually liked it when it was Monday night football. It's
something I've talked about a bunch here on this network
and even here on Convene Rich and have done an
Undug Gottlieb show as well. If I had to get
a give it go away from one window of the
(08:06):
national football season, it's the Sunday night football window because
I'm watching it all day. But then I realize that's
not for everybody. In fact, people have commitments on Sunday.
Maybe they've got soccer matches to go to, or basketball tournaments,
or maybe there's just family get together, so there's a
dance recital, and there's Cub Scouts and Boys Scouts and
(08:26):
all that stuff that's going on, and so the only
game that you can see is Sunday night because nothing
else is going on at that point. And it's difficult
from this chair that we talk about football because it's
your job to watch the games. It's my job to
watch the games. So you try to watch as much
as you can. But I just don't know how many
people who live a normal life that's not in the
(08:50):
media that needs to follow football would be watching for
five straight days, especially Manzi during a holiday time when
one of the windows is on Christmas Day. I've talked
about my family never had the NBA games on, and
then when I moved out here and everybody was like, oh, yeah, Lakers,
Lakers are playing on Christmas Day. That was like a
normal tradition. That was weird for me. That was odd
(09:11):
because it was never a consideration when I was living
back in the Midwest. So we ask you, what does
your scorecard look like zero to five of these five
days of football that you've got that the NFL is
giving you in week sixteen, how many boxes can you
check off? And if you can't check out all of them,
tell us why you're not going to watch on Thursday
or why you're not going to watch on Saturday. If
(09:33):
you're only doing one box, tell us why you're going
to watch that box and ignore the others. That's what
we want to know today here on Cavino and rich Manci.
If you have your scorecard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what is
a reasonable? Is three reasonable? Or do you think you
need to be in the four range to be like
real football fan?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I just think it's hard. It's like I would like
to be in the four range, you know, I would
like to, But just looking at the schedule, I'm like
that Thursday game, I don't know if I'm I'm gonna
watch that game.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
To be honest with you, And it's the Seahawks and Bears.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I know it's the Sea and it would be a
good game to watch. I just don't I'm trying to
like think, okay, if I if I'm gonna see any family,
any friends, Like you're not. My friends aren't big sports
fans unfortunately, so they're not gonna be like, yeah, let's
hang out on the twenty six and watch this game.
They're not gonna tell me that. So I'm already looking
(10:26):
at my I don't think I'm gonna be able to
watch that game on the twenty six. I think you're
gonna get me watching two days of football, like really watching.
It's probably gonna be two days for me Christmas games
and then Sunday.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I think the NFL may be in for a root
awakening on this Netflix deal. Not as many people have
Netflix as you would think, and that's where I think
with these games, with just watching them this past Saturday,
there's also the separation anxiety where the NFL, it's when
you have it a week and sure we have Thursday
(10:59):
I games and a wetscher appetite a little bit, but
I still feel like we're just coming off of a
weekend where we had full football and now we've got
more full football. Obviously Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Houston and Kansas City
will be locked in. These games are of importance to
the playoff picture, even though all these teams are in
the AFC playoffs already. But I just wonder on how
(11:20):
many people will actually go out and get Netflix and
like we did for the Peacock playoff game or for
the Amazon pack. Even the Amazon package is a little
different because you're like, Okay, well, every Thursday, I can
get this, and you know what, I can use my
Amazon Prime account and can benefit from the shopping aspect
of it. I just don't feel that the Netflix viewing
(11:42):
options are really going to be giving us great options
for tomorrow, and I think that is going to be
one of the windows that people are going to leave out.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Well, I mean, I hear what you're saying about Netflix,
but can people are going to buy a month of
Netflix for these games they're going to be willing to do.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Eagles fan, and you have Christmas at your cousins, are
you buying Netflix? Are you? I see what you're saying,
And that's the that's the dilemma of this. It's different
if you're sitting at home or if you've got someplace
to go. Maybe maybe the cousin ends up buying Netflix
because they're having Christmas. But if you're not a fan
(12:20):
of that team or of those teams, are you going
to have something on just to have it on? Maybe?
Well then just turn on the NBA, right, No, you
don't have to subscribe to the to the Netflix game.
In that aspect, the Saturday game is this past weekend.
Monzy kind of got lost lost in the shuffle for
me for some of the stuff that we were doing,
(12:42):
even the College Football Playoff for that matter, because you're
doing stuff on Saturday afternoon. I don't know. I don't
think this is a great idea for the NFL to
to try to put these games in on a on
a Wednesday on a Christmas Day, But then Monty expect
us to also watch on Thursday night, expect us to
watch the tripleheader on Saturday, then watch a normal week
(13:02):
on Sunday, and then take in Niners Lions on Monday night.
It's just too much.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Do you make an excellent point of like are people
even gonna really watch this or are they gonna have
it on in the background while they're gathering and opening
presence tomorrow? Because the first game is uh one Eastern.
So I guess if you're on the East coast, maybe
you've already done your presence and stuff. Maybe maybe maybe
you haven't. Maybe you like to do it in the
middle of the day. So it is interesting, like did
the NFL make the right move here? Because Christmas NBA
(13:29):
games you can easily have them on in the background.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, just turn into ABC or ESPN.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
No problem, and then you, oh, look at okay, Greg
Lebron made a Shaw or Curry whatever. This is different.
You're right, are they actually gonna watch these games and
pay attention to them?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Never in the history on Christmas if we had to say, Denise,
what's your password? Like that, like that's what's gonna be
That's what's gonna be happening. Anthony's I need to get
the game on, and then it becomes more of an issue.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
And imagine this streaming that it's gonna it's gonna be messy.
It's not gonna be as clean of a connection because
if everyone's jumping on Netflix, it's not going to be
a clean connection.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Chris Purfet, our technical producer.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
So, as full disclosure, I did buy a month of Netflix.
But I do feel like there is like you were
used to football on Thanksgiving, that's the football holiday you
and that's again over the air, like you say, versus
you have Netflix who already bungled this with with the
Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight, and I think that's fresh
in people's minds if you were paying attention at all
(14:29):
what happened with how Netflix carried that that Like, oh okay,
Netflix has already shown you they're they're still struggling with
you know, live live events on this. But I mean,
these teams have all this is gonna be a third
game that all four of these teams on Christmas will
have played in ten days as well, So we're talking
about I think for a lot of people. How good
(14:51):
is the actual good is this gonna be?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean like I think packers and lines both had
to play three games and eleven days as well, because
they went straight from Thanksgiving to thir today night football
the next week. But this is even worse. And this
is with all teams who are like in the AFC
playoff picture and suddenly they're just gonna be dog exhausted
on a service that's not great. Like has questions, I
think you're right. I'm just really curious how this might hack.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Also just made me think of like maybe people are planning, Okay,
I'm gonna watch these games, and then you're gonna be
pooped and exhausted from the holidays, and then you're not
gonna watch them. Maybe you think you're gonna watch them.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, football works on Thanksgiving because you're like just you're
exhausted from that. You're sitting down from the food and digesting.
This is just you got kids running around, you're gonna have.
There's too much going It's to open I low, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
As it relates to this discussion, and another interesting element
for perspective is for a generation, Christmas belonged to the NBA,
but how many of us are planning or even thinking
to watch an NBA game tomorrow. And I'm not sure
offhand people around the country would even memorize even know
(15:59):
who's playing in the NBA on Christmas. It used to be, oh,
two weeks from now, it's the Bulls Nicks on Christmas,
or the Lakers and the Celtics rematch. So even if
it might be overkill, it's still dominating the sport that
used to dominate Christmas.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Again. It was such an eye opener on my family
would watch the Lakers, my wife's family, they would watch
the Lakers on Christmas because it was never something that
was even if the Bucks were good back then, back
in Wisconsin, I don't think it would have been something
to just turn on. Maybe it's on in the background,
because that's the case. But never did I walk into
my aunt's place and be like, oh, the NBA games
(16:38):
on one of these TVs. It was not just not
so I'm marking on my scorecard. Something's probably going to go.
By the wayside. I would love to say five out
of five, and I'm going to say four out of five.
I actually think Saturday may take a little bit of
a hit for me because you and I are in
on Thursday doing these doing Doug Gottlieb and Cavino and Rich,
so we'll want to see what happens. On Wednesday. We
(16:59):
got a smaller get together, although I just find out
that we have to go to my father in laws.
He doesn't have Netflix, so now I got to work
around that. And I was in. See, this is the
other problem. You're already have our family and you can't
settle on who's actually having Christmas twenty four hours out
from Christmas. That's one problem. Now I got to figure
out if we can actually get Netflix on my father
in law's TV. These are the problems. I'm gonna put
(17:21):
four or five. What does your score book say of
the five days? Well, Sundays already, Yeah, you're okay, so
you're in tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
I mean, so tomorrow I'll be watching Thursday. I have
a Netflix goes by the wayside for you yoursday go. I'm
not gonna watch Thursday, and then I am gonna be
I will watch Saturday, probably the Broncos Bengals game, because
I work and I'm gonna be here all right, but
I won't. I don't think i'm gonna watch that Cardinals
Rams game. I don't think I'm gonna get to it.
And then Sunday I'm back to work, so it's like,
(17:50):
I'm I'm working, so I'll be watching, but I think
if I'm not working, I'm not gonna be watching. It's
it's busy times.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Chris Profeta. I know you've got a busy work schedule,
but what is your scorecard?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So I'll be here, and i'll be here on sat.
Thursday is my day off. I think I'll be watching
all of this because football is my favorite sport, NFL
is my favorite uh and and you know I cover
a team for the NFL too. But at the same time,
I'm just thinking the entire time, I better not get
locked out of Netflix because they're going to detect a
different ip and be like, oh, you're sharing, you're sharing,
(18:20):
how dare you were shutting down your account? So unless
that happens, I'll probably watch all of it. But I
think I'm the exception, not the rule, because I am
a football fiende.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yeah, I think I'm kind of between Monsey and Chris.
I'll probably I think three is kind of my my
sweet spot. I'm kind of at a three.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Definitely for three. Yes, I'm at.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
A three because I'm going to watch everything on Christmas
and I you know, I'm probably I'm going to watch Thursday.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I don't even know why.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You don't have to make that face. I think she's
making it more for the Bears.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I was making it more for the Bears. It's nothing personal.
I love the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Go I've made that face when Gina's Smith through another interception.
He's not the problem, though, a glowing crown.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Your scorecards five for five because of the work component.
But if I was just a civilian and work was
not involved, it would be four or five, and unfortunately
the Thursday game would fall by the wayside of it
was a more attractive matchup because of the more because
of the Bears than the Seahawks st.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Patriots. It's much watch TV.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Geez me hating on the charges as the Patriots that
took the Bills almost to the watch.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's right, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Just that we're going to San Diego. Doug's in San
Diego walking to Cavino and Rich Doug, what does your
football scorecard look like this weekend?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Doug, I'm concerned about you, guys. I think I got
a hanky for Dan and a bears he so he
can cry in it.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Are you out of your mind?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The more the merrier, And I'm coming you right now.
These hatings on the Christmas Day thing for Netflix are
going to go through the room. Can be the NFL
cannot lose anything on TV.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Oh, I think that they are. They They are going
to be in for a surprise. It is going to be.
This isn't Tyson Paul. I see enough of Patrick Mahomes already.
I don't need to log in to see him even
more tomorrow. This is this is Dougs. Doug's on the
five for five sort of.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Deal seems that way. Yeah, if this was not Netflix,
maybe it would be a successful day for the NFL,
But it's it is streaming.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Jennifer's in Minnesota. Jennifer, Welcome to Cavino and rich Oh Michigan. Sorry,
Aaron's in Minnesota. He's up next.
Speaker 2 (20:34):

No, I live in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Okay, oh yeah, Battle Creek.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I follow the Lions, but I won't be watching the
game because they'll be in bed when they start. I know.
I'm not at the age where I should be going
to bed that early, but I get up sorely, so
you know, I can only stay up for so long.
But I only follow the Lions. I'm not watching any
of the other games. I don't really care as long
(21:04):
as Detroit meets Minnesota the following week.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
All right, Jennifer stopped for a zero zero called in
to say I'm not part I like how she participated
by telling us she's not going to participated maybe for
Monday night for the Lions.

(22:21):
huge slate of bull games to get to, and so
much more. We are talking about love, not basketball, but
love in college football. Let's get it going.

I know I'm wearing a Santa hat, but right now,
when you were like, Christmas is tomorrow, I'm like, it is, Oh,

If I got this, Yes, I'm going to zoom out.
I'm going to zoo. Excuse me, excuse me, I was

be no no dressing up whatsoever. But I don't need to.
Santa's going to be coming tonight. And yeah, yeah, it
was iffy at times. He was. It was iffy a
little bit. Santa was watching, somebody just wasn't listening. Somebody
just not listening at all, tuning Daddy out, and we
(24:04):
had to say, hey, come on, Santa's Santa's watching, and
he did what he needed to do, picked up the dinosaurs,
and all was good.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Oh there we go. Good job, good job, Brody.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
We are broadcasting laugh.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Did ye?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Sorry? I THENT. We moved on from that. We are
broadcasting laughter at tirect dot com Studios. All right, let's
talk about love or lack thereof Travis Hunter, Heisman Trophy
winning wide receiver, defensive back, all purpose player for the
University of Colorado. It's getting all of the headlines MANSI
not for what he's done on the field, although he's
been honored by All American and all of those places
(24:48):
Heisman Trophy winner, but it's what's been going on with
his love life that has well, I guess everybody up
in arms where people are now chiming in on what's
should happen with Travis Hunter and his five year girlfriend
Leanna Linney. Is this a place that we need to go.
(25:10):
Should we be talking about Travis Hunter and his girlfriend?
Is this just an off limit sort of topic or
should we be able to comment because people are commenting
about this, But it's how they're commenting that is apparently
turning Travis Hunter off and his teammate and friends should
or Sanders telling people to stop talking. Is it fair
(25:32):
game when you're a Heisman Trophy winning player to have
people talk about your relationship.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I don't think it's fair game, even though this is
where we are right it just kind of exploded. I
I don't think so because I still consider Travis Hunter
a young adult, right like he's not he's not in
the NFL, he's still in school, So I don't think
it's fair to him. And it's so bucks and I
(26:02):
hate that it's happening to him. But there is a
lot of discourse. And this is really all because nowadays
everything is on video and nobody's deleting these videos. And
when you do become somebody like Travis Hunter, where you are,
everyone is talking about you and your girlfriend tends to
(26:23):
be a topic of conversation that she keeps adding to it.
She keeps also adding to it. It's not just him.
She's also not making it any better.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
We saw the video of her being frustrated at a
senior day in Boulder and apparently giving him the cold shoulder.
We had then heard.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Because he was taking pictures with women. Yes, yeah, just
in case you didn't know.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
And then we had seen which it happens in your
star football player. But that's why she was angry. You
sounded like like that was a legitimate reason for her
to be upset.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Well, because I would be at that age. I think
I would be jealous at that age. I'm just being
giving it one hundred. I think I would sit there
and of course let him do it, but I would
also be side eyeing him and be like, okay, girl
number seven coming over here, Okay, I get that, I do.
I get that. I'm not saying it's okay. I get
the jealousy on that side of it.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
For her, then there's already a problem because if you're
going to be one of the players and stars of
the National Football leagueuse you're a current star in college football,
that comes with the territory. I agree, that completely comes
with the territory, and if your significant other has a
problem with it, then I think there are going to
be problems. So strike one. Then the Heisman Trophy ceremony,
(27:46):
when she seemed to be frustrated and not happy that
he was signing with fans, But then Travis sunder says, no,
there was a miscommunication about what they were going to
do with the family. But still not a great look.
But I'll give her a pass on that if it's
a miscommunic miscommunication on their end and not given to
(28:07):
the public, like if she's mad about something that's going
on behind the scenes, we don't know necessarily the whole story,
and he's taking pictures with fans at a Heisman event.
Maybe she's mad about something different. I'll give him the
benefit of the doubt about that, But to your point,
if he's taking pictures with girls and she's angry and
then she has the same reaction at a Heisman events
(28:28):
where he's oddly enough taking pictures, seems to be a
common thread. Now there's another element of the story where
there's a video that's apparently come out of her, possibly
with another person, So maybe she wasn't being faithful in
the relationship. This is where it gets out of control.
(28:50):
I don't mind people talking about this scenario because Travis
Hunter is in the public eye and he's soon going
to be in the National Football League, and it is
all things are are fair game. I just don't think
Travis Hunter, like others, puts himself out there as much.
This is this is kind of being forced upon him
(29:11):
as opposed to and if it was, I feel Shador
Sanders is more out there and putting himself out there
where it would be more fair. It'd be a fair
situation if we were to look at it. If sha
Door Sanders is putting his relationship out there but Travis
Hunter is not, it's just that we're seeing it pop
up in all of these places, and I feel that
(29:31):
the people who are commenting about it are actually commenting
from a good space. But it seems I don't know
if it's if it's hypocritical, or if it's just a
way that doesn't mix, because it feels like you're saying
things for your own good and that would even mean
you and me talking here. Are we using their relationship
(29:51):
and their difficulties in a relationship as a platform to
us to elevate ourselves because we're talking about it, Like
if you're Shannon Sharp and you're talking about it on
first take or former player, because I know that he's
spoken about it and he's Travis Hunter and shud Or
Sanders have said all right, stop talking about the relationship.
Shannon Sharp could do that privately as a former NFL
(30:13):
player and someone I'm sure with a pretty good relationship
with Dion, where you would be able to say, hey,
let me talk to this kid and let him know.
That's the other factor of it. She doesn't stand up
at what the heisman.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
That to me was the worst of it all. To me,
I don't know if she's been unfaithful. I have not
gone down the rabbit hole of seeing their timeline because
it's none of our business, right we are talking about it,
But I think we're talking about it the way we
are because you just hit it on the head, Travis Hunter.
The people talking about it, they're trying to protect him.
They're trying to help him because they feel that maybe
(30:46):
he's being taken advantage of for the success that he
has now and the success that he will have. But
that girl not standing when he won the Heisman and
having Deon Sanders tell her to get up to me
says so much. I don't know how you weren't standing
jumping up and down for your boy. How are you not?
He just won the Heisman, and it's like it's it's disappointing,
and then all the other things happening, it's like, I don't,
(31:09):
I don't know who you are, girl, but it's hard
to defend you, and I don't. I think all of
the all the discussion is happening because people really care
about Travis Hunter, and they care about his future and
they don't want him to kind of be misled this
early on in his in his successful career. It's like,
you have so much to look forward to, don't. Don't
(31:32):
let don't get stuck somewhere being misled because you're a
good guy. Because there's a story that he would take
her to parties and wait for her outside, Like he
just seems like a good dude, and we've never seen
that's what. That's too good of a dude. I agree
with you, we've never seen something like this. Obviously, social
media is a big part of it because there's the
(31:54):
people that are trying to protect him, and then I
think there's the people who are nobody's who are trying
to make it worse and they're the ones bringing out
these videos. Those Yeah, those people suck.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yes, yes they do, because they're trying to make a
name for themselves.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Right, they're trying to get something out of it, or
make things bad for him because they're jealous of him
or whatever it may be.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
But it may not be the worst thing in the
world to be brought out.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
I yes, you make a point. I guess we're talking
about the breed. Had yeh know that this guy was
making sweatshirts out of it, or like a T shirt
with the printed image and like the the girlfriend at
a party, Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
We don't need merch We don't need merch of someone
cheating on someone else. That is not That is not
what I agree with that. I feel that if you
are in a place of a former professional athlete, that
you have the resources to talk to Travis Hunter privately,
that's a very good poston to show them the pitfalls
(32:58):
of what could happen to someone who's transitioning into the
professional game. Now college football, by the way, doesn't seem
to amateurish, that it's more of a professional game. So
maybe this ends up coming with a territory. Maybe this
happens to future athletes and they need to watch out.
I do think that everybody does have Travis Hunter's best
(33:20):
interest in mind, but there are only so many people
that can reach him, and those that can reach him
probably shouldn't be doing it on a public platform because
you have the ability to do that. The other fact
of the matter, and I don't want to tell debate
shows or tell us to shut up and not talk
about it, because we are talking about it. But if
(33:42):
there's anybody to tell him or to let him know
about what life could be like in the NFL and
what are some of the pitfalls and things that you
may find or come upon it's Deion Sanders, it's his
head coach, and so there's a personal relationship there. It
would be difficult in in a way to not overlook
that because I think Dion does have a say in
(34:04):
all of this and maybe there's just more to the story.
I think it's unfortunate because he's a really good kid,
and if this video is true, it makes him end
up looking you know, a bit foolish. But I yeah,
it's just it's it's really really tough, especially with a
twenty one year old kid, Senor Sanders coming out and saying, hey,
you know, sticking up for his guy, of people talking
(34:24):
about nobody's really sticking up for her, and it's just
been more of a Travis thing. It's just very very odd.
But I think to your point that they are looking
out for his best interest.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Yeah, and I don't know this girl's history, because it
could also be it's like, do people not like her
and that's why they're pulling this out. It's again trying
to open his eyes, right, like everyone's trying to show
him something. Yeah, look at the type of girl that
you are with and they've been together for years. It's
what the reports are you and this.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Is this is the tricky part about it. But years Christmas,
I thought they were they met in high school, like
I thought there was I thought it's a five year relationship,
is what I.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Understood, dating since sixteen.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
If that's that could be yeah, very you know, not
uncommon if that was the case. Right, we were talking
during one of the breaks about Real Housewives. Do you
remember it? Maybe you weren't watching at that point, but
in Orange County when Vicky just loved Brooks, and Brooks
(35:26):
was this this sly guy, and all of her friends
are like, open up your eyes, this guy is a
but she was smitten. And maybe people have all been there.
Maybe there was a boyfriend or a girlfriend in the
past that just for some reason casts the spell over
you that you would be willing to overlook those things.
(35:47):
That's what I think people are trying to do with
Travis Hunter. They're not trying to make a buck off
of his name or trying to bring him down there.
They are just trying to look out for him. But
because this is all played out so publicly, and I
don't think I don't think she's, if you will, a
gold digger because she's been with him for five years,
she's He's was the number one recruit, went to Jackson State.
(36:08):
She stayed with him when it wasn't a guarantee that
Deanna would go and get a D one job and
that Travis Hunter would follow him and then go to Colorado.
The ultimate goal was obviously go to the NFL, and
he was destined for the NFL. But all of this
stuff that's happened over the last couple of years, if
they've been together for five years, was not stuff that
you could plan or think of. So I think that
(36:28):
there is some legitimacy there. It's just of all of
the warning signs of this is what could happen in
your life, whether you were with her for one year
for five years, these are the problems that you can entail,
and I think people are just seeing it play out
in a public fashion. If you're getting sick of him
taking pictures now when he's just started to become famous,
wait till he gets to the National Football League and
(36:49):
now as a Heisman Trophy winner. It's only going to
be five and tenfold. That's something that you will never
I don't want to say shake because it sounds like
the negative, but you're never going to get past you.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
You know, this is just the beginning, just the tip
of the iceberg as to what his life could be.
But if you have been with this guy for five years,
you have seen the work that he has put in.
And I can't get over her not standing when he
won the Heisman. I feel like that says so much
about her support or how she views him. I know
(37:21):
that's crazy, but I can't get over that. Like everything else,
It's like, yeah, she had a history before him, right,
She's entitled to have a history before him. That just
says so much about how she supports her Man. It's
not easy playing football, it's not easy playing both sides
of the ball. And he wins something and she just
(37:44):
sits there. It doesn't it bothers me for all of the.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Work that he put in for that moment that.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
You should know firsthand how much work he put in.
You would have everyone should know. If he took you
to parties and waited for you outside, he was probably
still in the playbook. Well you were having a cocktail?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Does Brian spoke up about it? And pac Man Jones
till does Brian to shut up? So now you have
some NFL on NFL on two sides of the story,
and to not say anything. If I if I'm picking
a side, which is what we normally do here, I
would say not say anything for the fact of you've
(38:23):
got Dion in your corner. Yeah, there are other avenues
to do it. It's probably best to not say anything.
And I realized full while I'm saying that, after We've
just spent eighteen minutes talking about this relationship.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Again, it's just because we care about Travis Hunter, right,
It's like that's what everybody like. I agree with you.
I think most people are just trying to look out
for him. We did get tweeted at, which I don't
necessarily think it's the same. I think we're comparing apples
and oranges here, but bake here, oh bakes Yeah, yeah, man,
(38:56):
Titeo turned out. Okay, Trus Hunter figure it out with
all of our social input.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
I agree we should not be talking about this in
the first place. And again, we've been talking about it
because that's just where we are. But I think the
man's I tail situation was a little bit different. I
don't think it's exactly.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
What we're talking about. We're not talking about this relationship
we're talking about people talking about this relationship, which is
even more of the critical I think.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Oh but Manti Tale was dealing not with a real
co Yeah yeah, that fish right, So I don't think
it's the same. But I get he makes the points
like he turned out okay, Travis Hunter will be okay,
and uh, maybe this is just exactly what he needed
to happen. You know, maybe this is all good for
(39:41):
Travis Hunter.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
If it ends up falling apart, there's going to be
a rush to the window of I told you sos right,
that's what it's it's going to be. But I would
also think I try to think back to myself at
twenty one, what would I think in that relationship? And
if you've been with someone for five years and you're
twenty one years old, I don't think that you you
see life. You can't see life without that person, right. Yeah,
(40:05):
it's a foreign concept and it's something that you would
maybe learn later on in life. And no matter what
anybody tells you, it's just tough to grasp that there
could be a life without this person. So even though
this person may not be kind to you in public
areas and maybe mad when you're taking pictures. Your life
is can only be viewed in the scope of this
(40:28):
person is in your life now, ten twenty years down
the line. He may feel differently when you when you
get older and you learn things. And I'm not saying
that he's gonna learn, That's not what I'm saying. It's
just the point is is when you hear that young
and you're in love and someone's been in your life
for that long, it's a significant part of your life
and to not have them there is just a foreign concept.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
All he knows, especially at that age, it's all he knows.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Yeah, his football stardom has been with her the whole time.
So even if there is another video, there's no guarantee
that if she did something wrong that he would even
leave her in the first place. So it's probably best
to leave it alone. But we'll still talk about it
here on Communo on Rich on Fox Sports Radio. She's
Monzi Blagos. I'm Dan Byer in for the guys who
are in for Dan Patrick earlier today. I'd love to
(41:14):
get your thoughts eight seven to seven nine nine on Fox.
