Speaker 2 (01:50):
Let me entice you by spot Can you give a
one shout of Iowa Sam's hair, just for one second,
because that might get people to watch it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I Sam, I say that respectfully because I like it.
I do.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I think by cutting your hair, it takes what your
personality agree getting too hot, so it's gonna be prune
down to pretty much nothing soon. Oh I can't wait.
And of course Dan Byern's got your updates. We'll be
playing show Time Mahomes Trivia later on. We have crocs
to talk about if we have time. So a little MLB,
a little NFL, a little bit of everything. That's what
you get here on the Cavino and rich Show. Now,
(02:26):
there's a few preseason football thoughts I had. We're going
to get to a couple theories I have just on
people that really dive into the preseason.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But based off the hot.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Story of the day that you heard our buddy Dan
Bayer telling the update, Doctor Jones, Daniel Jones, you call
him doctor Jones, lady, He'll be starting for the Cults
of Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson. I mean, we can't say that's
a failed experiment already. I mean, the guys, well, you know,
the young man would be that they're making a strong decision, unless,
(03:02):
of course, his pinky is that injured. But you heard
good things about Daniel Jones all off season. They've been
hyping him up. At least that's the vibe I was getting.
So Daniel Jones playing good. They've been going at it,
competing for the job all off season. Anthony Richardson hurts
his pinky in the first preseason game, and now is
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Is it just.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Exhibit B that the Giants ruined people say Quon and
now Daniel Jones. I think he's again this is just
going off of something I saw on social media recently.
I think he was like twenty four and forty four.
But don't quote me, cause again I got it from
a meme or something, twenty four and forty four as
a starter with the Giants. And yeah, that does answer
the question. That doesn't mean he's gonna stink as bad
(03:44):
with the Colts, but we sort of know what he's
gonna give you, dude. I hope he turns it around too.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
True, you never know, but you kind of know what
he brings. I always thought he was better than what
we got. You have this belief that he lost his
bojo when he fell on his face during that why
open like eighty yard run. Yeah, it's like when Joey
Bats got punched in the face. It's too embarrassing to
recover from the butt fumble. Mark Sanchez is just some
things you can't really just shake. And when's the last
time you saw that highlight it's pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You're right, Cove twenty four and forty four and.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
One twenty four to forty four and one that was
off the top of the dome right there. So he
gets the starting job. Yesterday it was announced that Flacco
gets the starting job. Guys over forty years old. He
gets the job over Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. And my
first instinct is, man, what boring decisions? But I get it,
(04:37):
like Big Mike runs this place, says who I credit
them for making a smart decision. I applaud the decision
because they're going with the veteran here, But don't you
want to let the young guy developers that, letting them
fall in their face?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, you know it's interesting because I, in my big noggin.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Have labeled this conversation counterproductive quarterbacks, because there's a sense
of teams that look like they're going to go with someone,
but deep down inside that old the Jersey song used
to like deep down inside, deep deep down inside, deep
deep down.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Inside, Tabo and paulids to pump their fist to that.
That's an old club jam.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
There's something I hate to say, counterproductive, but it's sort
of true. Well, it's uneventful.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I promise you that it might be safe and the
best decision, but it's a boring decision.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The best example hasn't even been given yet.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So I'll give it right now, and I'll give you
the three headed monster of boring, counterproductive quarterbacks, Joey Flacco,
Daniel you call him Doctor Jones, and Russell Wilson, and
I say the Ross one because he's a veteran. You're paying,
by the way, two former Super Bowl champions, So i'd
say that respectfully, but two former champions past their prime.
(05:56):
If New York Football Giants brass management coaching staff really
believes in Jackson Dart and really has seen everything they
need to see apparently at camp and in a few
touches he's gotten the preseason like Jackson Dart as advertised,
according to what Giants officials and front office people are saying. Right, So,
(06:18):
if that's the case, what if Russo's five and one
in the first six games and like surprises everyone is
that sort of like, oh man, we weren't expecting that.
I'm not saying the Giants are expecting to lose, but
when you really think about it, honestly, Giants fans and
(06:42):
most people are thinking they'll probably play five hundred football
or worse, and then eventually Jackson Dart will get his chance.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm not saying these are bad decisions, right, these are
the veterans. You're in good hands. You know what you're
gonna get. No, get I got the unexciting decisions. Ye, No,
you're doing You're delaying the inevitable. That's what I've been trying.
You're delaying the inevitable. Now you figured it out. Because
the inevitable is that Brian Dable and that whole front
office loves Jackson Dart. How long of a placeholder Russell
(07:13):
Wilson is. I guess that's sort of up to how
the Giants play around him and how he does. Same
with Cleveland. I mean, while he is a super Bowl champion,
that was gonna be twelve plus years ago. Now, Joe
Flacco is not the future of a team. So again,
you're delaying the inevitable because he's your best option right now. Well,
it makes me wonder how unready are the Anthony Richardsons
(07:36):
again hurt pinky injury? Yeah, how unready are the Dylan
Gabriel should or Sanders, the Jackson Darts. If these guys
are getting the nod. And again, just as a fan,
just as a fan outside looking in, I feel like
it's uneventful and boring because it doesn't make me want
to watch you know what makes me want to watch Sanders? Yeah,
not flock oh again, respectfully, had a great career. Like
(07:58):
think about it, just in our position everyday life. How
boring would it have been if they gave this time
slot to some old radio veteran, some old guy with
a mustache. No offense to old guys with mustaches, but
wouldn't that have been a boring decision? They're like, you
know what, Fox Sports Radio, We're gonna take a chance
on these young hotshots. They've been in the game for
a minute. Let's give them a shot. Isn't that more exciting? Hey,
(08:20):
see what they could do, See what they could bring.
Maybe they could shake things up instead of like some
old guy who's gonna talk you know, boring old school
sports all day. It's it's what you feel sometimes with
coaching changes in sports, where it's just a boring decision.
You want your team to make a hardball decision. You
want them to make a Ooh, let's go after Sean Payton,
(08:42):
or you know there's gonna be a team that takes
a chance on Gruden soon, right, whether it's college or pros,
you want that.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's excitement. What usually is an exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is unfortunately even though they deserve it, promoting a coordinator
within right right now.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's like, okay, you know what else?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
We always do it because I wrote this down based
on Daniel Jones, flock Ow and Wilson getting the starts,
getting the nod props to the older guys. I'm always
rooting for the older guys. I am, I am. But
something we always do is we make people make a
decision like, hey, is this uneventful or do you applaud
the decision? It could be both, and that's something we
(09:19):
always need to keep in mind. Why do we need
to choose it's both it's uneventful, But I applaud the
teams for sticking with their vets I do, and then
letting them put the future in their hands. You already
said it about Wilson. He's only there for as long
as he performs. He's thirty six years old. You got
(09:40):
the same game left, do you think russ In the
back of his mind knows that a large part of
that fan base, and maybe subconsciously management's like, we're just
sort of biding time. We'll give Russ a chance. I
mean we're paying I mean, he's the veteran, but Jackson Darts.
What we're gonna be in like two years from now,
is that that's got to be in the brain, right,
It's got to be in the brain. And remember, ratings
(10:01):
are part of the game. This is entertainment. It's sports,
this competition, but it's also ratings and entertainment. People want
to see Jackson Dart, people want to see Richardson, people
want to see Shader Sanders. Those things play a factor,
and we're not getting that. Not everyone's disappointed. Not everyone
ends up with the quote dream girl or a honky dude,
(10:21):
Danny g no offense of your Raiders. Gino can put
up numbers and you guys can maybe make a run
at the playoffs. That would be the goal, right for
the Raiders to make the postseason.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh yeah, I mean your lips to God's ears.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I mean, realistically, though, Danny, you're you're a you know
as much football as anyone I know. I don't think
the Raiders deep down inside of like Gino Smith gonna
get us to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, their offense is going to score a lot of points.
Their defense still has a lot of holes, so they
have a lot of work to do to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And I think perception wise, it's it's really us that
is to blame sometimes as far as what we perceive
as exciting or not new versus old. And I'm curious
with dan byer things. But let me give you two.
You might think these are trash examples, but when you
move a middle reliever to the rotation, there's a party that's.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Like, he's not a starter.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
He may very well be a starter, but I still
question Clay Holmes as a Mets fan, like is he
a starter?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Takes a minute, And I'll give you the dumbest example.
If you grew up watching wrestling, when they broke up
a tag team and one of those guys became like
a singles wrestler, I was always like, he's a lame
tag team guy other than Sean Michaels, who made a
name for himself. But it was like the British Bulldog.
I'm like, he's just one of two of them. Is
he really get out of here? You're not selling me
(11:38):
on the British Bulldog, even Brett Hard. I'm like, he's
part of the Hard foundation. Don't make it sound like
he's the guy. He's a lame tag team guy. And again,
will they be more productive? Probably maybe. So Again I'm
not mad at their decision. I'm just disappointed because it's uneventful.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Dan Beyer counterproductive.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
The right move when you see some of the I
guess you'd say less sexy names get in the nod.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Do you get it? Obviously you get it, But what
are your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
It's funny because you were bringing up examples and I'll
give you kind of a wacky niche one if you will.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, when a guy.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
In the NBA is a great sixth man, that he's
so good that you won't put him in the starting
lineup because he's a sixth man, Like there's the sixth
best player on the team. That okay, maybe he's inserted
in the starting lineup because somebody is hurt, but somebody
who so excels in that role of coming off the bench.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It's kind of a all.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Right, this is probably our third best player, but he's
just so good in this spot. We got to keep
him in this spot.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, you have to instinctively be like, do I put
him in the starting five?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yes, But there's so like when you were talking about
the moving from the middle reliever to a starter, I
kind of thought about the NBA. I find the Flacco
story just amazing, but it's also shows on how the
Browns have been awful in dealing with their quarterback situation.
I know the Giants are probably Jackson darts team at
(13:02):
some point this season, but Brian Dabele and then we're
trying to save their jobs. And if you start out
zero to four because their rookies making mistakes, you'll likely
lose it if you can win a couple of games
and then transition.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So Davia wants to be able to stick around once
the transition happens. Yeah, he may not make it that
far if they.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You know, it's save John Harbaugh's job in Baltimore. The Flaco.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Speaking of Flaco with Lamar Jackson, he was thought to
maybe be on his way out. They put Lamar in
mid season and then all of a sudden, the rest
is history. But you kind of have to attach yourself
to the young guy but I don't think they feel
comfortable enough doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
In week one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You think there's a part of Flacco, honestly, who excelled
coming off the bench. He'd come up and light it
up for a while, like, man, he's still got some game.
You think there's a part of him. I was like,
I kind of like that role at this stage of
the game. I wish these dudes would have stepped it
up and won the starting job so I could have
sat back and relaxed, like the Payday, because he was
still good in those short spurts, like still in impressive
(14:00):
and maybe that's deep down what he wanted. But then again,
the competitive nature, I'm sure he's fun to be starting.
Everyone wants it is amazing, Dan Byer, I can't deny that,
but it is less exciting. That's how I feel about it.
I give him all the props in the world. Like
I said, I know I'm speaking out of both sides,
like double talking Dickie here, he's forty years old and
(14:20):
he's starting. I gotta tip my hat to that, But
that doesn't mean it excites me.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Last season, Flacco played eight games through for over seventeen
hundred yards twelve TD seven picks.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Twelve p seven picks.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, so he throws a lot of interceptions.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
He did at the end.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I remember.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So it's three stories. They all have a similar sort
of feel about them. There's someone younger, but are they
better behind them? Russell Wilson over Dart, Daniel Jones over
Richardson and Floco over well multiple quarterbacks?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Can I can? I can?
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I just quick give you guys some trivia because it's
gonna Do you know the team that Joe Flacco played
between the Ravens and brown Stints?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
To remember the teams?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You throw the Jets in there, throw who there were
a feeling so answering my question because he played a
season for the Broncos and I don't I said this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I don't remember anything from it. It was twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Wow, And so to that point, I think I would
be saying the same thing Cavino was in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Being like the.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Broncos starting Joe Flacco doesn't interest me. But forty year
old Joe Flacco with the Browns six years later, to
me is really interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
There is something best I said.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It goes to show you how unready and unprepared these
younger guys are if he's starting at this stage, so
it really shows you how bad they might be in
the quarterback situation. Did you see that funny clip it was?
It was Flocco with Shador and some of the young players.
There's some hip hop song playing at the stadium. Think
(16:00):
Shador said something like, yo, you get down to this,
and Joe Flacco said something like, I don't get down
to anything.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah. Yeah, he asked him about a dance move.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't dance a practice.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't get down to anything, So I mean you
gotta there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like Dan Bider said, there is something when you look
at it, like forty year old dude out playing these
young twenty some year old studs enough to get the
starting NOD week one.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, you want to give credit to that, Like that
is amazing. It really is. It really really is, And
I'd love to see him light it up. But you're
not tuning in for that. You're just not you know what,
I'll get them props. I happen to be driving around
last night. I usually don't drive around at night because
it was rare. I heard our palace Jason Smith and
Mike Harmon here on the network.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And they're not your pals. You don't even know the
difference between the two guys.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Harmon hat, that's the way Kavino remembers. Harmon always wears
a hat and Smith's sleeves. Smith's sometimes wears sleeps.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
There's been a couple of times where they're like, wait,
which one is Witch?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
By the way, I have a formula to remember who's who,
and they're both great dudes, but I do that just
to not mess and I still.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Mess it up. That's what's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
At the holiday party, He's like, Jason, it's Mike. I
seel like they think I'm the dumbest guy that ever
walked the earth because I say the wrong name every time.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Don't worry.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I talked to Mike and he goes, I know, Rich
is the good looking one, so that's what That's what
Mohrmon said.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Just kid, totally totally kidding. And then he said Joe
and he said Rich is the Latino one.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Right, I'm bad I missed them up, but no, I
heard them last night and uh, you're r p L.
Jason Smith said, or was it Mike Harmon? I'll never
know that Harmon had. He believes I wasn't watching, I
only watched our YouTube feed. He he believes that if
there was a prop at that the Browns will start
(17:46):
all five of the guys this year, and he has
an order in which he said, he's like, it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Start FLACCOH yeah, obviously, then can he picket?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And he said Gabriel, then Chadoor and and then there
was like I think that might have been fifth in
there too. And he's convinced that it's a prop that
he wants to make happen. That's crazy. If that happens,
that would be insane. So again you said start, not
play right, start Wow. So again they all have a
similar vibe about him. So we posed a question. The
(18:17):
answer could be both. But is this just uneventful or
do you applaud the decision of going with the veterans
in these three cases? Cove eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox at Covino and Rich.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I don't want to crutch on comparing everything to relationships,
but I do that because I genuinely feel like sports, relationships, friendships, marriage,
all these things, you know what it's like. Any commonalities
can I give you one because I thought of it.
It's like your buddy who's on the fence with his
like his uh, his old lady as people say, yeah, hey,
my old lady. The spark is gone and she's just
(18:52):
the sort of nightmare to deal with. And there's a
younger woman who seems so perfect for him, and he's
all excited and brought out all the best qualities of
your buddy, and you're rooting for your buddy to go
for the exciting storyline of dude, new life, new chick.
She brings out the best in you think of the potential,
(19:12):
and then he's like, nah, I feel safe for going.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
With my old lady.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I don't want to lose half of my forward. I'm
gonna go back to the old option. You're like a
boring dude. Come on. My equally dumb analogy was when
you have a quarterback that's like, you know when you're
dating and you're like, I'm not going to marry this girl.
She's really nice, we have a good time we're dating,
but I just can't see myself marrying this girl. NFL
teams have to deal with that quite a bit when
(19:36):
and unless you have.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Your franchise guy.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Oh, you're saying, well, they are ready to marry Dart
and ready to marry I don't think.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Anyone's right now, you don't think so. I mean they
made big moves to get these guys.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
The only way you can tell the team's ready to marry,
quote marry one of these guys is when they're getting
paid fifty million dollars dollars a year for multiple years.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
So fair enough. I think we'll get there, budd.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And you don't want to throw them in there too
soon because confidence is such a big part of especially
the quarterback position. If they take too many sacks too
early on and we always hear speed of the game,
that's a big thing. They need to get acclimated to
the quarterback position in the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And by the way, we're not to know it. Alls
that know everything.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
If you're a fan of the Giants, the Colts or
the Browns and you're pumped about these decisions, like.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Dude, I'm runny man, I think you're underestimate.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I would love to hear it because to me, I
get excited about matchups and watching particular games. These are
not teams that I care about at all. Because of
these of those teams. Because the AFC South is so suspect,
the Cults could very well make some noise down is Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think we.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
See a better Stiner Amiel Jones, but I don't think
we see like a Pro Bowl performance. I think he's
going to be better with the Colts than he was
with the Giants. I'm rooting for all of them. No
one's hating on these guys.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I'm not hating. I'm just stating there is.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
To be said about being comfortable, and dB pointed that
out anything you do in life, work, friendships, anything, for instance,
like I coach my kids, I'm going you if once
you start coaching your second or third year for a
little league or a basketball or football, when you're coaching
the kids, after a couple of years, you feel way
more comfortable, Like I belong right the first year. No
(21:23):
matter what you do at any job, any situation, you're like,
you're still sort of feeling it out. So I'm also
interested in a lot of these second year guys, like
you know, Homer Niners fan here, I'm always you know,
I think Ricky Piersoll is gonna go off this year.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I think there's.
Speaker 2 (21:38):

of fun and we'll say what's up to Doug and Maryland.
Then before we get into more football, I have one
baseball thought. I mean we do have less than forty games.
Pennant races are getting tight. Doug in Maryland. What's up, buddy,
Hey doug Hey.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Guys, Hey, I was telling Danny. You know, every year
there's a surprise, and who's it gonna be this year?
Is it gonna be Jacksonville with their seventy yard field
goal kicker? You know, in a resurgence from from from
from Lawrence. Is it going to be you know, I'm
not saying it's going to be the Giants, but I
think Jackson Dart is one of those guys you might
(25:04):
want to watch out for if if Russell gets hurt,
because he's going to be a promising quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They like all the tools already that he has in
the Yells.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
But they also have to acknowledge the fact that they
paid Russell Wilson a lot of money. Yeah that's true,
but I mean Russell Wilson was the recipient of a
chance when they had paid Matt Flynn.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I believe in Seattle. So sometimes, hey, it happens.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Interestingly enough when you think about Jackson Dart, like he
will be the first name that's being chanted in a
crowd somewhere when someone Russell Wilson struggles just a little
bit his leashes, as they say, so short in this scenario,
and he brought up Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Danny J.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Have you seen the memes where it's like, oh, look,
Treva Lawrence needs to get one first down in therenfield
goal range. Yeah, so hey, you know what, I'm sure
there's gonna be people that pick him up way too
early in fantasy football, all that kicker little on uh Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Now we'll wrap up with your phone calls at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. But we got to talk
a little preseason football too and show time a home
trivia coming up. Yeah, I said, I had the baseball thought,
I want to get props to Stephen Nesbit of the
athletic You know when Rob Manfred went over the possible
realignment and expansion, he just mentioned it at the Little
(26:26):
League Classic and everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Everyone ran with it on social media.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
People people you know, there were they were all going
to be a team in Nashville. There's going to be
a team in Carolina, maybe Vegas. Man, Well, they will
be in Vegae.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well, there will be.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
But there was a there was a lot of speculation
of alignment where like Yankees, Mets and Red Sox and
Phillies in the same division and no more National League
in American League. And you guys all saw those graphics
of the proposed divisions. Well, I want to get props
to against Stephen Nesbit of the Athletic. He presented what
I think looks like by far, the best attempt at realignment.
(27:04):
If Baseball were to do this, if you add two
teams in the mix, if you had two teams in
the mix, that would give you thirty two Major League
Baseball teams. He's broken it down much like football, where
instead of East, Central and West, you got East, North, South,
and West. Each division four teams, four divisions in the
(27:26):
AL four in the NL, and you'd have four division
winners and two wild cards. And the only real changes
I see he move like the Rays to the NL South.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But for the most part this.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Guy's proposed division alignment, we'd be like al least Yankees,
Red Sox, Blue Jays Orioles. You lose the Rays to
another division, or like the Central in the NL is
now the North, the Cubs, the Cardinals, Brewers, and Reds.
You know, well, the rumors yesterday had the Yankees and
Mets in the same division, because again, what Manford said
(28:02):
was for geographical reasons and better TV. If you had
the Cubs and the White Sox in the same division,
you'd have to cancel out interleague play. That would be
the only way that works. With this alignment that you're
talking about. You could still have inner league play. It
keeps it traditional enough. Like Danny, this guy's alignment has
the NL West Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Diamondbacks. You lose the
(28:26):
Rockies to a new Ale South Division. There's a few
of the smaller market teams that sort of rotated around,
but they've kept the traditional rivalries alive.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So perhaps with that, dude, because.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But again, that's a really big announcement and again made
sort of in a passing way at the Little League Classic,
because it would change rivalries as we know them, baseball
history as we know it. We grew up knowing these
rivalries and these divisions. You're really changing the future of
baseball if and when you make that decision. It's a
(28:57):
big risk, but it could be a fun one. And
we mentioned the yesterday, so I don't want to repeat it.
But baseball's at that moment now where if they were
playing pressure luck or deal or no deal, there comes
a point where the decisions you made up to this point.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yo, you're winning.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You're winning the bigger bases, the phantom runner on second,
the quicker games, pitchclock, these are all wins litterally classic,
like the Field of Dreams game. Everything's going Ratings up,
attendance up. Be careful with the expansion of the divisions.
You have not upset enough people. We've talked about how
(29:33):
like you can't press your luck too much.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Don't forget for a possible expansion, the city of Sacramento
would like to stay in the mix because they're going
to lose the A's to Vegas and they want to
keep pro baseball in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
They've talked about like in this proposal, there's the Al West,
would be the Angels, the Mariners, the Vegas Athletics, and
perhaps a Portland, Salt Lake City or Sacramento in your
new update, Yeah, this guy's athletic because yesterday's and all
the rumors yesterday was the Angels and the Dodgers in
(30:04):
the same division again for geographical reasons, which again would
cancel out interleague play.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
So I would love to see where this goes and
wear it heads.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I'll post it at Covin and Rich and I'll give
this guy some props again, the athletic Stephen Desbit. It
looks like the most reasonable realignment I've seen where I
don't think anyone would be mad. Again, you're creating a
new division like the NL South Braves Marlins, a new
team in Nashville, and the Rays come over from the ALE.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
East and South got it all worked out.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Makes sense for him to throw it out there in
such a nonchalant way. It's something there close to figuring out, well,
who is it? A Mets radio broadcaster put it in
the books how he rose. Among a lot of famous
broadcasters and personalities have said, you can't kill the NA
and l A, the NL and AL. Those are these
(30:53):
are things that have existed since the eighteen hundreds. Like you,
you do have to keep some tradition like that would
be like saying no, i'll see an NFC.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Let's just sort of they're throw them in a pile. Now,
you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, we'll wrap it up with something we always say
from the great Gary Vaynerchuk, innovate or die, And that's
what baseball is trying to do, all right. So we're
gonna talk preseason foosball and we're gonna play some games.
But first the great Dan Byer's update dB dB.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
The one thing that stood out to me was the
projected expansion cities as you guys were talking about, with
the West having the Salt Lake, Sacramento, or Portland possibilities,
the East having the Nashville and Charlotte. But what about
if Montreal got a team?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
How cool? Right?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
You think it would be awesome, but it could really
put a, you know, mess up some of the plans
that you would have for what you would have in
your National League East. And would you want them in
the same division as Toronto because they're a Canadian that
could be a curveball Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think baseball is really gonna have to think this
through big time.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
The Cubs and Brewers continuing their series today at rig Lee,
Game one of a doubleheader.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Driven in the air deep left center. It's gotta change.
It's good.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh and Casey with his first big lead home run
and the Cubs now lead's six to four.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
That would be the final on the Cubs Radio Network again.
Game two coming up in a little bit on Chicago's
North side. Daniel Jones has been tabbed as a starting
quarterback for the Colts to open the regular season, winning
the job over Anthony Richardson. Saints have yet to make
a decision on their starting quarterback. Head coach Kellen Moore
says they'll make it after their preseason game against the Broncos.
Forty nine ersigned quarterback Nate Sudfeldt to a contract. After
(32:41):
Mac Jones got dinged up against the Raiders last weekend,
Giants activated left tackle Andrew Thomas from the pup list,
and Bucks wide receiver Jalen McMillan could miss half the
season because of a spring neck. According to the Tampa
Bay Times, Indiana Fever forward Sophie Cunningham's going to miss
thrust of the season with a knee injury.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Guys, back to you, Thank you Dan, Dan Bye bye dates.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Good to see Dan Bayer and of course Iowa Sam
on the keyboards now, Danny g producing, and thank you
Fox Sports Radio for hanging out with us. I think
it's safe to say that sports fans the start of
the football season. While I do love Baseball opening Day,
and we do love tip off of the NBA, and
they just as something about that NFL first Thursday when
(33:21):
it's official, and that is two weeks and two days away. Official,
like Danielle Fisher. Do you love Topanga? Official?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Like Danielle Fish?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I think that if you're really wrapped up in preseason football,
it says a little something about you.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
And I'll explain what I mean. Coming up next, we
got more Cavino Rich right here, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Welcome back to the program the professional Graham known throughout
the land as Covino and Rich, world famous cn RNFSR
lost on the Fox Sports Radio studio.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
What's up everybody, and it's time for our tire round.
Play of the day. Bryce Harper brought the lumber one
and one. The count Legomina delivers and the pitch.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Hit high in deep bright center field, and it's a
second homer of the night for Bryce Harper.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Off the facing up the second deck.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
But not just the second wasn't like both of them
runs over four hundred and forty feet like two bombs.
Bryce Harper brought the lumber two bombs. You think a
lot about Bryce Harper's would right?
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Who right?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Two bigger bombs yesterday, Bryce Harper or Jamie Lee Curtis.
I have seen that my goodness, he's all over social
media freaking your Friday, no doubt. I know. Hey, Tyrack
play the Day and don't forget over forty years now
and that was courtesy of the Phillies Radio Network. That
was your Tyreck play the Day. They've been helping people
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
(34:49):
Ship fast and free back by free Road has a protection,
convenient insallation options like mobile tire installation. Our good friends
at tire raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
And I did post that new realignment at covin on
rich on Instagram if you want to check it out.
And spot should post that viral Jamie Lee Curtis video.
And by the way, I say that respectfully, she's a
sixty six year old woman, but she looks fantastic to
(35:11):
the point where people are freaking out about Freaky Your Friday.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
So anyways, props again to Bryce Harper.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
I think that was some sort of record was set
where he hit two home runs that reached over four
hundred and forty feet in the same game.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
He says, that's the first time it's happened again since
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Yeah, so it's not all the time. It's been ten
years being of two home runs. Did you see Jamie
Lee Curtis. What year was it when she did the
stripteas for Arnold And that was ninety four? I think
the thirty one years ago ninety five? Holy true. Yeah, yeah,
she's looking good man. Freak You of Friday getting good
reviews that ninety six. I was thinking about watching my
kids watching Freaky Friday and then watching the second one. Yeah,
(35:50):
after seeing the promos, you're definitely gonna watch shop It
all right?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Covered Benny's eyes.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I know, Covino and Rich and we were talking
about Daniel and Joe Flocco and Russell Wilson. Props to them,
not trying to hate on them forgetting the starting job
all the credit. But it is kind of a boring answer,
and Dan Byer said it without really saying it, but
he said it. Joe Flocco didn't start in twenty nineteen
(36:16):
for the Broncos six years ago, and he's starting now
for the Browns at forty something.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
That just goes to show you how bad they are.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
And at one point he was pretty deep on the
Jets quarterback depth chart. So again it's just by the
way when you see the choices people make, you have
to think about, well, the choices they didn't make, if
that's what they chose, you know what I mean, Like
the women they're with, the clothes that they're wearing, Like
you chose that. I hate to see the rest of
your wardrobe. Every time you look at someone cave. You know,
(36:44):
and I've said this before, take a good look at
everyone you bump into.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
They made a choice. They chose that haircut, they chose
that shirt, they chose those glasses.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
If they chose a forty year old guy to start
who didn't start six years ago for the Broncos when
they they had nobody, think of who they didn't choose
and how bad they must be. Veteran leadership may not
be the long term thing, but maybe that's what they
need right now.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Hey, all the props. I wish them the best.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I'm just saying now, speaking of football preseason, there's a
question we want to post because you see all the highlights.
I'm watching the highlights, but then again, I'm a dinosaur.
I'm watching Rich Eysen on ESPN I because he hosted
last night. I know. No people love the intro and
they brought back to old school, then the nice tribute
(37:33):
to Stuart Scott.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
So but I still watch highlights like it's nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, the only reason I would ever watch sports centers
because I think are pal Gary Streiski and Randy are great.
They are fantastic. They don't get enough credit out there.
It's like they're the best talent over there. They're really,
really great. We'll give them all the props in the world.
It was cool to see rich eyes and they brought
out the old graphics package. But you say highlights, and
that's a great parlay into what we're going to talk
(37:58):
about now, which is how are you consuming preseason football?
I said to Iowa Sam and our pel Jay stew
before the show. If it's Zion or Cooper Flag or
Wemby when they're making their first G League start, we're
all gonna watch the first quarter or so to be like, oh,
let me take a looxi. When it's spring training in
(38:21):
baseball and your stud pitcher who is throwing one hundred
and two is getting the start, you're gonna be like,
let me let me check that out. Preseason football to me,
I can't explain why I'm locked into every second of
the regular season. But I gotta be honest, I gotta
be forthright with you guys and say I haven't watched
(38:43):
a live quarter of preseason football because I find it
so insignificant, meaningless.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I mean, fighting for jobs. We got to get that
out of the way. That's true to that.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
People are trying to make an impact, trying to show
you what they got, and you know, it's like it
feels it feels like it doesn't. I'll give her repell
because it doesn't. R pal jasuw from The Gottlieb Show.
He said, it's sort of like watching scab baseball or football,
you know what. It's like a strike or something and
they're like put in the scabs or something.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
But each team they always have youngsters who have a
good story. And it not that we want to see
a full blown Olympic style package on the air, but like,
for instance, I've been following the Raiders preseason. Bo Jackson's
nephew Schdrick is on the team at wide receiver, and
it's cool to see youngsters like that trying to make
(39:33):
their way into the league if they have a good
enough preseason and maybe at that position, your team has
enough depth where they're gonna get cut, but if they
stand out, they have a chance to go to another team.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
So if you really love the regular season, and Rich
is saying that no one loves the regular season more
than him, that's a fact. He's basically asking, is it
wrong to not care about preseason even watchable?
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Really?
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I can't buy in, And the numbers would say I'm
wrong because preseason football still outdes regular seasons of other sports.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
So there's intrigued.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
But I think it's more about like just the excitement
that football's back, and people love the game so much
that they're they're willing to sit through trash because they
know the real things coming.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
And I get what Danny's saying. There are battles position
like even when a.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Guy and here's the thing too, it's like the spring
training baseball analogy would be there could be some young
stud on your team that can hit four to twenty
five in spring training, but he still won't make the
team because.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
They know, well, he had a good month, but he's
not ready. You could see a.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Guy catch eight passes or one hundred and twelve yards,
but he won't make the team because they're not really
looking at the numbers. They're looking at other things that
we're not looking at, Like like, did you see t
O Sun has been, you know, making some sweet catches
on the Niners?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Tarik Owens, I don't know. Is he going to make
the team.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Making some sweet catches. That's why I think those are
fun stories to watch, is what dang summon up.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
By saying this.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I passed Bush in the editing room and I saw
what's on TV. It was a replay and who was
Seahawks twenty four chief seven in a preseason game.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I'm like, see, that's something I can't even watch. Is
it wrong to not watch preseason football? More? Next C
and R

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I Sam, I say that respectfully because I like it.
I do.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I think by cutting your hair, it takes what your
personality agree getting too hot, so it's gonna be prune
down to pretty much nothing soon. Oh I can't wait.
And of course Dan Byern's got your updates. We'll be
playing show Time Mahomes Trivia later on. We have crocs
to talk about if we have time. So a little MLB,
a little NFL, a little bit of everything. That's what
you get here on the Cavino and rich Show. Now,
(02:26):
there's a few preseason football thoughts I had. We're going
to get to a couple theories I have just on
people that really dive into the preseason.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But based off the hot.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Story of the day that you heard our buddy Dan
Bayer telling the update, Doctor Jones, Daniel Jones, you call
him doctor Jones, lady, He'll be starting for the Cults
of Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson. I mean, we can't say that's
a failed experiment already. I mean, the guys, well, you know,
the young man would be that they're making a strong decision, unless,
(03:02):
of course, his pinky is that injured. But you heard
good things about Daniel Jones all off season. They've been
hyping him up. At least that's the vibe I was getting.
So Daniel Jones playing good. They've been going at it,
competing for the job all off season. Anthony Richardson hurts
his pinky in the first preseason game, and now is
Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Is it just.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Exhibit B that the Giants ruined people say Quon and
now Daniel Jones. I think he's again this is just
going off of something I saw on social media recently.
I think he was like twenty four and forty four.
But don't quote me, cause again I got it from
a meme or something, twenty four and forty four as
a starter with the Giants. And yeah, that does answer
the question. That doesn't mean he's gonna stink as bad
(03:44):
with the Colts, but we sort of know what he's
gonna give you, dude. I hope he turns it around too.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
True, you never know, but you kind of know what
he brings. I always thought he was better than what
we got. You have this belief that he lost his
bojo when he fell on his face during that why
open like eighty yard run. Yeah, it's like when Joey
Bats got punched in the face. It's too embarrassing to
recover from the butt fumble. Mark Sanchez is just some
things you can't really just shake. And when's the last
time you saw that highlight it's pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You're right, Cove twenty four and forty four and.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
One twenty four to forty four and one that was
off the top of the dome right there. So he
gets the starting job. Yesterday it was announced that Flacco
gets the starting job. Guys over forty years old. He
gets the job over Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. And my
first instinct is, man, what boring decisions? But I get it,
(04:37):
like Big Mike runs this place, says who I credit
them for making a smart decision. I applaud the decision
because they're going with the veteran here, But don't you
want to let the young guy developers that, letting them
fall in their face?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, you know it's interesting because I, in my big noggin.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Have labeled this conversation counterproductive quarterbacks, because there's a sense
of teams that look like they're going to go with someone,
but deep down inside that old the Jersey song used
to like deep down inside, deep deep down inside, deep
deep down.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Inside, Tabo and paulids to pump their fist to that.
That's an old club jam.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
There's something I hate to say, counterproductive, but it's sort
of true. Well, it's uneventful.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I promise you that it might be safe and the
best decision, but it's a boring decision.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The best example hasn't even been given yet.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So I'll give it right now, and I'll give you
the three headed monster of boring, counterproductive quarterbacks, Joey Flacco,
Daniel you call him Doctor Jones, and Russell Wilson, and
I say the Ross one because he's a veteran. You're paying,
by the way, two former Super Bowl champions, So i'd
say that respectfully, but two former champions past their prime.
(05:56):
If New York Football Giants brass management coaching staff really
believes in Jackson Dart and really has seen everything they
need to see apparently at camp and in a few
touches he's gotten the preseason like Jackson Dart as advertised,
according to what Giants officials and front office people are saying. Right, So,
(06:18):
if that's the case, what if Russo's five and one
in the first six games and like surprises everyone is
that sort of like, oh man, we weren't expecting that.
I'm not saying the Giants are expecting to lose, but
when you really think about it, honestly, Giants fans and
(06:42):
most people are thinking they'll probably play five hundred football
or worse, and then eventually Jackson Dart will get his chance.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm not saying these are bad decisions, right, these are
the veterans. You're in good hands. You know what you're
gonna get. No, get I got the unexciting decisions. Ye, No,
you're doing You're delaying the inevitable. That's what I've been trying.
You're delaying the inevitable. Now you figured it out. Because
the inevitable is that Brian Dable and that whole front
office loves Jackson Dart. How long of a placeholder Russell
(07:13):
Wilson is. I guess that's sort of up to how
the Giants play around him and how he does. Same
with Cleveland. I mean, while he is a super Bowl champion,
that was gonna be twelve plus years ago. Now, Joe
Flacco is not the future of a team. So again,
you're delaying the inevitable because he's your best option right now. Well,
it makes me wonder how unready are the Anthony Richardsons
(07:36):
again hurt pinky injury? Yeah, how unready are the Dylan
Gabriel should or Sanders, the Jackson Darts. If these guys
are getting the nod. And again, just as a fan,
just as a fan outside looking in, I feel like
it's uneventful and boring because it doesn't make me want
to watch you know what makes me want to watch Sanders? Yeah,
not flock oh again, respectfully, had a great career. Like
(07:58):
think about it, just in our position everyday life. How
boring would it have been if they gave this time
slot to some old radio veteran, some old guy with
a mustache. No offense to old guys with mustaches, but
wouldn't that have been a boring decision? They're like, you
know what, Fox Sports Radio, We're gonna take a chance
on these young hotshots. They've been in the game for
a minute. Let's give them a shot. Isn't that more exciting? Hey,
(08:20):
see what they could do, See what they could bring.
Maybe they could shake things up instead of like some
old guy who's gonna talk you know, boring old school
sports all day. It's it's what you feel sometimes with
coaching changes in sports, where it's just a boring decision.
You want your team to make a hardball decision. You
want them to make a Ooh, let's go after Sean Payton,
(08:42):
or you know there's gonna be a team that takes
a chance on Gruden soon, right, whether it's college or pros,
you want that.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's excitement. What usually is an exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is unfortunately even though they deserve it, promoting a coordinator
within right right now.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's like, okay, you know what else?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
We always do it because I wrote this down based
on Daniel Jones, flock Ow and Wilson getting the starts,
getting the nod props to the older guys. I'm always
rooting for the older guys. I am, I am. But
something we always do is we make people make a
decision like, hey, is this uneventful or do you applaud
the decision? It could be both, and that's something we
(09:19):
always need to keep in mind. Why do we need
to choose it's both it's uneventful, But I applaud the
teams for sticking with their vets I do, and then
letting them put the future in their hands. You already
said it about Wilson. He's only there for as long
as he performs. He's thirty six years old. You got
(09:40):
the same game left, do you think russ In the
back of his mind knows that a large part of
that fan base, and maybe subconsciously management's like, we're just
sort of biding time. We'll give Russ a chance. I
mean we're paying I mean, he's the veteran, but Jackson Darts.
What we're gonna be in like two years from now,
is that that's got to be in the brain, right,
It's got to be in the brain. And remember, ratings
(10:01):
are part of the game. This is entertainment. It's sports,
this competition, but it's also ratings and entertainment. People want
to see Jackson Dart, people want to see Richardson, people
want to see Shader Sanders. Those things play a factor,
and we're not getting that. Not everyone's disappointed. Not everyone
ends up with the quote dream girl or a honky dude,
(10:21):
Danny g no offense of your Raiders. Gino can put
up numbers and you guys can maybe make a run
at the playoffs. That would be the goal, right for
the Raiders to make the postseason.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh yeah, I mean your lips to God's ears.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I mean, realistically, though, Danny, you're you're a you know
as much football as anyone I know. I don't think
the Raiders deep down inside of like Gino Smith gonna
get us to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, their offense is going to score a lot of points.
Their defense still has a lot of holes, so they
have a lot of work to do to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And I think perception wise, it's it's really us that
is to blame sometimes as far as what we perceive
as exciting or not new versus old. And I'm curious
with dan byer things. But let me give you two.
You might think these are trash examples, but when you
move a middle reliever to the rotation, there's a party that's.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Like, he's not a starter.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
He may very well be a starter, but I still
question Clay Holmes as a Mets fan, like is he
a starter?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Takes a minute, And I'll give you the dumbest example.
If you grew up watching wrestling, when they broke up
a tag team and one of those guys became like
a singles wrestler, I was always like, he's a lame
tag team guy other than Sean Michaels, who made a
name for himself. But it was like the British Bulldog.
I'm like, he's just one of two of them. Is
he really get out of here? You're not selling me
(11:38):
on the British Bulldog, even Brett Hard. I'm like, he's
part of the Hard foundation. Don't make it sound like
he's the guy. He's a lame tag team guy. And again,
will they be more productive? Probably maybe. So Again I'm
not mad at their decision. I'm just disappointed because it's uneventful.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Dan Beyer counterproductive.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
The right move when you see some of the I
guess you'd say less sexy names get in the nod.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Do you get it? Obviously you get it, But what
are your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
It's funny because you were bringing up examples and I'll
give you kind of a wacky niche one if you will.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, when a guy.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
In the NBA is a great sixth man, that he's
so good that you won't put him in the starting
lineup because he's a sixth man, Like there's the sixth
best player on the team. That okay, maybe he's inserted
in the starting lineup because somebody is hurt, but somebody
who so excels in that role of coming off the bench.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It's kind of a all.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Right, this is probably our third best player, but he's
just so good in this spot. We got to keep
him in this spot.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, you have to instinctively be like, do I put
him in the starting five?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yes, But there's so like when you were talking about
the moving from the middle reliever to a starter, I
kind of thought about the NBA. I find the Flacco
story just amazing, but it's also shows on how the
Browns have been awful in dealing with their quarterback situation.
I know the Giants are probably Jackson darts team at
(13:02):
some point this season, but Brian Dabele and then we're
trying to save their jobs. And if you start out
zero to four because their rookies making mistakes, you'll likely
lose it if you can win a couple of games
and then transition.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So Davia wants to be able to stick around once
the transition happens. Yeah, he may not make it that
far if they.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You know, it's save John Harbaugh's job in Baltimore. The Flaco.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Speaking of Flaco with Lamar Jackson, he was thought to
maybe be on his way out. They put Lamar in
mid season and then all of a sudden, the rest
is history. But you kind of have to attach yourself
to the young guy but I don't think they feel
comfortable enough doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
In week one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You think there's a part of Flacco, honestly, who excelled
coming off the bench. He'd come up and light it
up for a while, like, man, he's still got some game.
You think there's a part of him. I was like,
I kind of like that role at this stage of
the game. I wish these dudes would have stepped it
up and won the starting job so I could have
sat back and relaxed, like the Payday, because he was
still good in those short spurts, like still in impressive
(14:00):
and maybe that's deep down what he wanted. But then again,
the competitive nature, I'm sure he's fun to be starting.
Everyone wants it is amazing, Dan Byer, I can't deny that,
but it is less exciting. That's how I feel about it.
I give him all the props in the world. Like
I said, I know I'm speaking out of both sides,
like double talking Dickie here, he's forty years old and
(14:20):
he's starting. I gotta tip my hat to that, But
that doesn't mean it excites me.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Last season, Flacco played eight games through for over seventeen
hundred yards twelve TD seven picks.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Twelve p seven picks.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, so he throws a lot of interceptions.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
He did at the end.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I remember.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So it's three stories. They all have a similar sort
of feel about them. There's someone younger, but are they
better behind them? Russell Wilson over Dart, Daniel Jones over
Richardson and Floco over well multiple quarterbacks?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Can I can? I can?
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I just quick give you guys some trivia because it's
gonna Do you know the team that Joe Flacco played
between the Ravens and brown Stints?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
To remember the teams?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You throw the Jets in there, throw who there were
a feeling so answering my question because he played a
season for the Broncos and I don't I said this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I don't remember anything from it. It was twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Wow, And so to that point, I think I would
be saying the same thing Cavino was in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Being like the.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Broncos starting Joe Flacco doesn't interest me. But forty year
old Joe Flacco with the Browns six years later, to
me is really interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
There is something best I said.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It goes to show you how unready and unprepared these
younger guys are if he's starting at this stage, so
it really shows you how bad they might be in
the quarterback situation. Did you see that funny clip it was?
It was Flocco with Shador and some of the young players.
There's some hip hop song playing at the stadium. Think
(16:00):
Shador said something like, yo, you get down to this,
and Joe Flacco said something like, I don't get down
to anything.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah. Yeah, he asked him about a dance move.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't dance a practice.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't get down to anything, So I mean you
gotta there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like Dan Bider said, there is something when you look
at it, like forty year old dude out playing these
young twenty some year old studs enough to get the
starting NOD week one.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, you want to give credit to that, Like that
is amazing. It really is. It really really is, And
I'd love to see him light it up. But you're
not tuning in for that. You're just not you know what,
I'll get them props. I happen to be driving around
last night. I usually don't drive around at night because
it was rare. I heard our palace Jason Smith and
Mike Harmon here on the network.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And they're not your pals. You don't even know the
difference between the two guys.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Harmon hat, that's the way Kavino remembers. Harmon always wears
a hat and Smith's sleeves. Smith's sometimes wears sleeps.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
There's been a couple of times where they're like, wait,
which one is Witch?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
By the way, I have a formula to remember who's who,
and they're both great dudes, but I do that just
to not mess and I still.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Mess it up. That's what's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
At the holiday party, He's like, Jason, it's Mike. I
seel like they think I'm the dumbest guy that ever
walked the earth because I say the wrong name every time.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Don't worry.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I talked to Mike and he goes, I know, Rich
is the good looking one, so that's what That's what
Mohrmon said.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Just kid, totally totally kidding. And then he said Joe
and he said Rich is the Latino one.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Right, I'm bad I missed them up, but no, I
heard them last night and uh, you're r p L.
Jason Smith said, or was it Mike Harmon? I'll never
know that Harmon had. He believes I wasn't watching, I
only watched our YouTube feed. He he believes that if
there was a prop at that the Browns will start
(17:46):
all five of the guys this year, and he has
an order in which he said, he's like, it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Start FLACCOH yeah, obviously, then can he picket?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And he said Gabriel, then Chadoor and and then there
was like I think that might have been fifth in
there too. And he's convinced that it's a prop that
he wants to make happen. That's crazy. If that happens,
that would be insane. So again you said start, not
play right, start Wow. So again they all have a
similar vibe about him. So we posed a question. The
(18:17):
answer could be both. But is this just uneventful or
do you applaud the decision of going with the veterans
in these three cases? Cove eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox at Covino and Rich.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I don't want to crutch on comparing everything to relationships,
but I do that because I genuinely feel like sports, relationships, friendships, marriage,
all these things, you know what it's like. Any commonalities
can I give you one because I thought of it.
It's like your buddy who's on the fence with his
like his uh, his old lady as people say, yeah, hey,
my old lady. The spark is gone and she's just
(18:52):
the sort of nightmare to deal with. And there's a
younger woman who seems so perfect for him, and he's
all excited and brought out all the best qualities of
your buddy, and you're rooting for your buddy to go
for the exciting storyline of dude, new life, new chick.
She brings out the best in you think of the potential,
(19:12):
and then he's like, nah, I feel safe for going.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
With my old lady.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I don't want to lose half of my forward. I'm
gonna go back to the old option. You're like a
boring dude. Come on. My equally dumb analogy was when
you have a quarterback that's like, you know when you're
dating and you're like, I'm not going to marry this girl.
She's really nice, we have a good time we're dating,
but I just can't see myself marrying this girl. NFL
teams have to deal with that quite a bit when
(19:36):
and unless you have.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Your franchise guy.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Oh, you're saying, well, they are ready to marry Dart
and ready to marry I don't think.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Anyone's right now, you don't think so. I mean they
made big moves to get these guys.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
The only way you can tell the team's ready to marry,
quote marry one of these guys is when they're getting
paid fifty million dollars dollars a year for multiple years.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
So fair enough. I think we'll get there, budd.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And you don't want to throw them in there too
soon because confidence is such a big part of especially
the quarterback position. If they take too many sacks too
early on and we always hear speed of the game,
that's a big thing. They need to get acclimated to
the quarterback position in the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And by the way, we're not to know it. Alls
that know everything.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
If you're a fan of the Giants, the Colts or
the Browns and you're pumped about these decisions, like.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Dude, I'm runny man, I think you're underestimate.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I would love to hear it because to me, I
get excited about matchups and watching particular games. These are
not teams that I care about at all. Because of
these of those teams. Because the AFC South is so suspect,
the Cults could very well make some noise down is Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think we.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
See a better Stiner Amiel Jones, but I don't think
we see like a Pro Bowl performance. I think he's
going to be better with the Colts than he was
with the Giants. I'm rooting for all of them. No
one's hating on these guys.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I'm not hating. I'm just stating there is.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
To be said about being comfortable, and dB pointed that
out anything you do in life, work, friendships, anything, for instance,
like I coach my kids, I'm going you if once
you start coaching your second or third year for a
little league or a basketball or football, when you're coaching
the kids, after a couple of years, you feel way
more comfortable, Like I belong right the first year. No
(21:23):
matter what you do at any job, any situation, you're like,
you're still sort of feeling it out. So I'm also
interested in a lot of these second year guys, like
you know, Homer Niners fan here, I'm always you know,
I think Ricky Piersoll is gonna go off this year.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I think there's.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Certain guys that it's like, all right, you got your
feet wet, and that's how you gotta you know that
happens in life. We'll ask your question before we uh,
before we really get into it, based on what have
you watched any preseason at all?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I have a theory on it. Oh, we got a
theory on preseason.

Then before we get into more football, I have one
baseball thought. I mean we do have less than forty games.
Pennant races are getting tight. Doug in Maryland. What's up, buddy,
Hey doug Hey.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Guys, Hey, I was telling Danny. You know, every year
there's a surprise, and who's it gonna be this year?
Is it gonna be Jacksonville with their seventy yard field
goal kicker? You know, in a resurgence from from from
from Lawrence. Is it going to be you know, I'm
not saying it's going to be the Giants, but I
think Jackson Dart is one of those guys you might
(25:04):
want to watch out for if if Russell gets hurt,
because he's going to be a promising quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They like all the tools already that he has in
the Yells.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
But they also have to acknowledge the fact that they
paid Russell Wilson a lot of money. Yeah that's true,
but I mean Russell Wilson was the recipient of a
chance when they had paid Matt Flynn.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I believe in Seattle. So sometimes, hey, it happens.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Interestingly enough when you think about Jackson Dart, like he
will be the first name that's being chanted in a
crowd somewhere when someone Russell Wilson struggles just a little
bit his leashes, as they say, so short in this scenario,
and he brought up Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Danny J.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Have you seen the memes where it's like, oh, look,
Treva Lawrence needs to get one first down in therenfield
goal range. Yeah, so hey, you know what, I'm sure
there's gonna be people that pick him up way too
early in fantasy football, all that kicker little on uh Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Now we'll wrap up with your phone calls at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. But we got to talk
a little preseason football too and show time a home
trivia coming up. Yeah, I said, I had the baseball thought,
I want to get props to Stephen Nesbit of the
athletic You know when Rob Manfred went over the possible
realignment and expansion, he just mentioned it at the Little
(26:26):
League Classic and everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Everyone ran with it on social media.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
People people you know, there were they were all going
to be a team in Nashville. There's going to be
a team in Carolina, maybe Vegas. Man, Well, they will
be in Vegae.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well, there will be.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
But there was a there was a lot of speculation
of alignment where like Yankees, Mets and Red Sox and
Phillies in the same division and no more National League
in American League. And you guys all saw those graphics
of the proposed divisions. Well, I want to get props
to against Stephen Nesbit of the Athletic. He presented what
I think looks like by far, the best attempt at realignment.
(27:04):
If Baseball were to do this, if you add two
teams in the mix, if you had two teams in
the mix, that would give you thirty two Major League
Baseball teams. He's broken it down much like football, where
instead of East, Central and West, you got East, North, South,
and West. Each division four teams, four divisions in the
(27:26):
AL four in the NL, and you'd have four division
winners and two wild cards. And the only real changes
I see he move like the Rays to the NL South.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But for the most part this.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Guy's proposed division alignment, we'd be like al least Yankees,
Red Sox, Blue Jays Orioles. You lose the Rays to
another division, or like the Central in the NL is
now the North, the Cubs, the Cardinals, Brewers, and Reds.
You know, well, the rumors yesterday had the Yankees and
Mets in the same division, because again, what Manford said
(28:02):
was for geographical reasons and better TV. If you had
the Cubs and the White Sox in the same division,
you'd have to cancel out interleague play. That would be
the only way that works. With this alignment that you're
talking about. You could still have inner league play. It
keeps it traditional enough. Like Danny, this guy's alignment has
the NL West Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Diamondbacks. You lose the
(28:26):
Rockies to a new Ale South Division. There's a few
of the smaller market teams that sort of rotated around,
but they've kept the traditional rivalries alive.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So perhaps with that, dude, because.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But again, that's a really big announcement and again made
sort of in a passing way at the Little League Classic,
because it would change rivalries as we know them, baseball
history as we know it. We grew up knowing these
rivalries and these divisions. You're really changing the future of
baseball if and when you make that decision. It's a
(28:57):
big risk, but it could be a fun one. And
we mentioned the yesterday, so I don't want to repeat it.
But baseball's at that moment now where if they were
playing pressure luck or deal or no deal, there comes
a point where the decisions you made up to this point.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yo, you're winning.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You're winning the bigger bases, the phantom runner on second,
the quicker games, pitchclock, these are all wins litterally classic,
like the Field of Dreams game. Everything's going Ratings up,
attendance up. Be careful with the expansion of the divisions.
You have not upset enough people. We've talked about how
(29:33):
like you can't press your luck too much.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Don't forget for a possible expansion, the city of Sacramento
would like to stay in the mix because they're going
to lose the A's to Vegas and they want to
keep pro baseball in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
They've talked about like in this proposal, there's the Al West,
would be the Angels, the Mariners, the Vegas Athletics, and
perhaps a Portland, Salt Lake City or Sacramento in your
new update, Yeah, this guy's athletic because yesterday's and all
the rumors yesterday was the Angels and the Dodgers in
(30:04):
the same division again for geographical reasons, which again would
cancel out interleague play.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
So I would love to see where this goes and
wear it heads.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I'll post it at Covin and Rich and I'll give
this guy some props again, the athletic Stephen Desbit. It
looks like the most reasonable realignment I've seen where I
don't think anyone would be mad. Again, you're creating a
new division like the NL South Braves Marlins, a new
team in Nashville, and the Rays come over from the ALE.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
East and South got it all worked out.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Makes sense for him to throw it out there in
such a nonchalant way. It's something there close to figuring out, well,
who is it? A Mets radio broadcaster put it in
the books how he rose. Among a lot of famous
broadcasters and personalities have said, you can't kill the NA
and l A, the NL and AL. Those are these
(30:53):
are things that have existed since the eighteen hundreds. Like you,
you do have to keep some tradition like that would
be like saying no, i'll see an NFC.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Let's just sort of they're throw them in a pile. Now,
you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, we'll wrap it up with something we always say
from the great Gary Vaynerchuk, innovate or die, And that's
what baseball is trying to do, all right. So we're
gonna talk preseason foosball and we're gonna play some games.
But first the great Dan Byer's update dB dB.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
The one thing that stood out to me was the
projected expansion cities as you guys were talking about, with
the West having the Salt Lake, Sacramento, or Portland possibilities,
the East having the Nashville and Charlotte. But what about
if Montreal got a team?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
How cool? Right?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
You think it would be awesome, but it could really
put a, you know, mess up some of the plans
that you would have for what you would have in
your National League East. And would you want them in
the same division as Toronto because they're a Canadian that
could be a curveball Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I think baseball is really gonna have to think this
through big time.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
The Cubs and Brewers continuing their series today at rig Lee,
Game one of a doubleheader.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Driven in the air deep left center. It's gotta change.
It's good.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh and Casey with his first big lead home run
and the Cubs now lead's six to four.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
That would be the final on the Cubs Radio Network again.
Game two coming up in a little bit on Chicago's
North side. Daniel Jones has been tabbed as a starting
quarterback for the Colts to open the regular season, winning
the job over Anthony Richardson. Saints have yet to make
a decision on their starting quarterback. Head coach Kellen Moore
says they'll make it after their preseason game against the Broncos.
Forty nine ersigned quarterback Nate Sudfeldt to a contract. After
(32:41):
Mac Jones got dinged up against the Raiders last weekend,
Giants activated left tackle Andrew Thomas from the pup list,
and Bucks wide receiver Jalen McMillan could miss half the
season because of a spring neck. According to the Tampa
Bay Times, Indiana Fever forward Sophie Cunningham's going to miss
thrust of the season with a knee injury.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Guys, back to you, Thank you Dan, Dan Bye bye dates.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Good to see Dan Bayer and of course Iowa Sam
on the keyboards now, Danny g producing, and thank you
Fox Sports Radio for hanging out with us. I think
it's safe to say that sports fans the start of
the football season. While I do love Baseball opening Day,
and we do love tip off of the NBA, and
they just as something about that NFL first Thursday when
(33:21):
it's official, and that is two weeks and two days away. Official,
like Danielle Fisher. Do you love Topanga? Official?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Like Danielle Fish?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I think that if you're really wrapped up in preseason football,
it says a little something about you.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
And I'll explain what I mean. Coming up next, we
got more Cavino Rich right here, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Welcome back to the program the professional Graham known throughout
the land as Covino and Rich, world famous cn RNFSR
lost on the Fox Sports Radio studio.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
What's up everybody, and it's time for our tire round.
Play of the day. Bryce Harper brought the lumber one
and one. The count Legomina delivers and the pitch.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Hit high in deep bright center field, and it's a
second homer of the night for Bryce Harper.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Off the facing up the second deck.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
But not just the second wasn't like both of them
runs over four hundred and forty feet like two bombs.
Bryce Harper brought the lumber two bombs. You think a
lot about Bryce Harper's would right?
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Who right?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Two bigger bombs yesterday, Bryce Harper or Jamie Lee Curtis.
I have seen that my goodness, he's all over social
media freaking your Friday, no doubt. I know. Hey, Tyrack
play the Day and don't forget over forty years now
and that was courtesy of the Phillies Radio Network. That
was your Tyreck play the Day. They've been helping people
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
(34:49):
Ship fast and free back by free Road has a protection,
convenient insallation options like mobile tire installation. Our good friends
at tire raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
And I did post that new realignment at covin on
rich on Instagram if you want to check it out.
And spot should post that viral Jamie Lee Curtis video.
And by the way, I say that respectfully, she's a
sixty six year old woman, but she looks fantastic to
(35:11):
the point where people are freaking out about Freaky Your Friday.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
So anyways, props again to Bryce Harper.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
I think that was some sort of record was set
where he hit two home runs that reached over four
hundred and forty feet in the same game.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
He says, that's the first time it's happened again since
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Yeah, so it's not all the time. It's been ten
years being of two home runs. Did you see Jamie
Lee Curtis. What year was it when she did the
stripteas for Arnold And that was ninety four? I think
the thirty one years ago ninety five? Holy true. Yeah, yeah,
she's looking good man. Freak You of Friday getting good
reviews that ninety six. I was thinking about watching my
kids watching Freaky Friday and then watching the second one. Yeah,
(35:50):
after seeing the promos, you're definitely gonna watch shop It
all right?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Covered Benny's eyes.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I know, Covino and Rich and we were talking
about Daniel and Joe Flocco and Russell Wilson. Props to them,
not trying to hate on them forgetting the starting job
all the credit. But it is kind of a boring answer,
and Dan Byer said it without really saying it, but
he said it. Joe Flocco didn't start in twenty nineteen
(36:16):
for the Broncos six years ago, and he's starting now
for the Browns at forty something.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
That just goes to show you how bad they are.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
And at one point he was pretty deep on the
Jets quarterback depth chart. So again it's just by the
way when you see the choices people make, you have
to think about, well, the choices they didn't make, if
that's what they chose, you know what I mean, Like
the women they're with, the clothes that they're wearing, Like
you chose that. I hate to see the rest of
your wardrobe. Every time you look at someone cave. You know,
(36:44):
and I've said this before, take a good look at
everyone you bump into.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
They made a choice. They chose that haircut, they chose
that shirt, they chose those glasses.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
If they chose a forty year old guy to start
who didn't start six years ago for the Broncos when
they they had nobody, think of who they didn't choose
and how bad they must be. Veteran leadership may not
be the long term thing, but maybe that's what they
need right now.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Hey, all the props. I wish them the best.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I'm just saying now, speaking of football preseason, there's a
question we want to post because you see all the highlights.
I'm watching the highlights, but then again, I'm a dinosaur.
I'm watching Rich Eysen on ESPN I because he hosted
last night. I know. No people love the intro and
they brought back to old school, then the nice tribute
(37:33):
to Stuart Scott.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
So but I still watch highlights like it's nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, the only reason I would ever watch sports centers
because I think are pal Gary Streiski and Randy are great.
They are fantastic. They don't get enough credit out there.
It's like they're the best talent over there. They're really,
really great. We'll give them all the props in the world.
It was cool to see rich eyes and they brought
out the old graphics package. But you say highlights, and
that's a great parlay into what we're going to talk
(37:58):
about now, which is how are you consuming preseason football?
I said to Iowa Sam and our pel Jay stew
before the show. If it's Zion or Cooper Flag or
Wemby when they're making their first G League start, we're
all gonna watch the first quarter or so to be like, oh,
let me take a looxi. When it's spring training in
(38:21):
baseball and your stud pitcher who is throwing one hundred
and two is getting the start, you're gonna be like,
let me let me check that out. Preseason football to me,
I can't explain why I'm locked into every second of
the regular season. But I gotta be honest, I gotta
be forthright with you guys and say I haven't watched
(38:43):
a live quarter of preseason football because I find it
so insignificant, meaningless.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I mean, fighting for jobs. We got to get that
out of the way. That's true to that.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
People are trying to make an impact, trying to show
you what they got, and you know, it's like it
feels it feels like it doesn't. I'll give her repell
because it doesn't. R pal jasuw from The Gottlieb Show.
He said, it's sort of like watching scab baseball or football,
you know what. It's like a strike or something and
they're like put in the scabs or something.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
But each team they always have youngsters who have a
good story. And it not that we want to see
a full blown Olympic style package on the air, but like,
for instance, I've been following the Raiders preseason. Bo Jackson's
nephew Schdrick is on the team at wide receiver, and
it's cool to see youngsters like that trying to make
(39:33):
their way into the league if they have a good
enough preseason and maybe at that position, your team has
enough depth where they're gonna get cut, but if they
stand out, they have a chance to go to another team.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
So if you really love the regular season, and Rich
is saying that no one loves the regular season more
than him, that's a fact. He's basically asking, is it
wrong to not care about preseason even watchable?
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Really?
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I can't buy in, And the numbers would say I'm
wrong because preseason football still outdes regular seasons of other sports.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
So there's intrigued.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
But I think it's more about like just the excitement
that football's back, and people love the game so much
that they're they're willing to sit through trash because they
know the real things coming.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
And I get what Danny's saying. There are battles position
like even when a.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Guy and here's the thing too, it's like the spring
training baseball analogy would be there could be some young
stud on your team that can hit four to twenty
five in spring training, but he still won't make the
team because.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
They know, well, he had a good month, but he's
not ready. You could see a.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Guy catch eight passes or one hundred and twelve yards,
but he won't make the team because they're not really
looking at the numbers. They're looking at other things that
we're not looking at, Like like, did you see t
O Sun has been, you know, making some sweet catches
on the Niners?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Tarik Owens, I don't know. Is he going to make
the team.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Making some sweet catches. That's why I think those are
fun stories to watch, is what dang summon up.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
By saying this.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I passed Bush in the editing room and I saw
what's on TV. It was a replay and who was
Seahawks twenty four chief seven in a preseason game.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I'm like, see, that's something I can't even watch. Is
it wrong to not watch preseason football? More? Next C
