I hope you had a lion sort of Monday night,
not a Mike Gundhy sort of day. Yeah. Yeah, no,
we got prizes to give away show time of homes
Trivia and we be rocking out. Let's go, come on.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We are happy for Guillermo though.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
You know what I do like Guermo. We hung out
with him at the Super Bowl. We were on the
same flight, so he's employed again. You hung out with
him at an airport, right, Yeah, we were like best
little bros. Yeah, he's a likable guy. I was hanging
with him. Someone said, hey, Cavino and Rich. I go, no,
this is Guermo. We're gonna get to a bunch today.
A lot of NFL baseball six games left. I got

(01:04):
like the nervous farts about the Mets. Sorry, Comino, I'm
sure it's not that weak ass Elpoyo local taco you
were eating. It's a damn good taco. But I do
want to point out one thing to start the show,
when the recently fired Mike Gundy gave us one of
the best quotes in sports history. For me, I'm a mayn.
I'm forty. By the way, that was eighteen years ago

(01:27):
this week, couan years ago yesterday, which means he's fifty
eight right now. That Steve Killer quaff from outer space?
Have you seen the quaff on this guy? And his
hair caused the TV last night? I'm looking there, I'm like,
is that Mike Gundy? I put my glasses on and
there he is, in all his glory with the most
quaff tasting pompadoor I've seen in years. Let me just

(01:49):
say this, from the age of forty to fifty eight,
is that what's gonna happen on my hair? His hair
has an age depended. Jeez, I cause I was gonna
say I was like a twenty something year old punk
when he said that, And I remember thinking, like, manby,
he's old. Remember when you were twenty something and you
thought forty something was old. Yeah, but it was my
old self and the nuts. Yesterday was the anniversary that
legendary quote, right, and then he goes and gets fired

(02:12):
on his day off, I mean on the anniversary pretty
anniversary pretty much of that legendary quote. And now he
has to rearrange it and say, I'm unemployed. I'm fifty eight.
You can get fired on your day off. I'm jobless.
I'm fifty eight. I think sad cool After me, I'll
be at Express Pros. Yeah, I'm trying to find me.

(02:33):
And by the way, I'm not trying to have fun
at his expense. I'm just saying how ironic that the
anniversary was yesterday, and then I see him on TV
looking cofantastic, and now we find out today he's fired, Yeah,
because of fan outrage. Really, I mean, he's not delivering again.
Twenty one seasons Oklahoma State. Then they fired Gundy and

(02:54):
after a big loss to Tulsa, and I think he
retires one seventy and let me tell you, quite a run.
And I'm sure he's made quite a bit of money.
And I just realized that if I guess, if you
add a van to the gundhy you take away the hair. Yes,
van gundy means no hair, Gandy means no great hair.
Van gundy in German means combover. Yeah, van gundy, Van

(03:19):
Gundi means no hair, gandhi means great hair and gundhy Yeah, man,
he looks like Frankie Carbone. Well before we kick it
to some NFL and some Baseball wildcard races, I do
want to say, Hey, no one likes to see if
someone get fired, but the guy, the guy's got a
great head of hair and he has a great resume.
I just find it ironic that on the anniversary of

(03:41):
that famous quote, a day later he gets fired. I
did one point out how time is flying. We hate
those memes, like can you believe it's as far away
from nineteen whatever it is from the future, And I
hate those memes. But we are celebrating the twentieth anniversary
this year of forty year old Virgin. So when Steve
Carell was the forty year old Virgin that was twenty
years ago, is that wild to think, Hey, clime is fine.

(04:03):
The less Chase two always says time's flying. Man, God,
he hates when people's times flying.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I just.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Kind of feel bad for the guy, though I do.
I do, and I will say this people get fired.
I will say he left his he left his mark
in sports quotable history. I think it's a top five quote.
I think practice practice. I think that's one. We're talking
about practice. I'll give you another one. Can't wait care

(04:33):
wait bart Scott. I think I'm a man on forties
right after. I'm not saying top three. I think I
think Jenny Green, they are who thought they were. There's
some good ones. We don't need to look at this.
I was, I was Sam on the buttons. I will
say it's a great conversation. We've had it before. We
don't need to harp on it. But hey, Mike Gundy,
good luck my friends, good luck dude. But I mean

(04:55):
he could always be like a model for like so no,
like a haircut model, Like I want that one. Like
he's on the chart, you know when you go to
barbers Yeah, can I have that one?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's where Lamar Jackson got that one?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah? I want that want The wait is that the
soule Glowe new from the barbershop and coming to America.
All right, So I want to talk Micah Parsons. Let's
let's first say that last night Sunday Night football, not
to brush over it a great battle. Did I say
Sunday Monday Night football? Now their defense has some issues,
oh the Ravens, but it's safe.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I can't stop the run.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
But it's safe to say though that they're one of
the better one in two teams. You look at their schedule.
They may not lose for a while with you as
far as offensive star power, but if Derek Henry can't
hold onto the ball, then you can throw that out
the window. It's there. To get beat, they're gonna have
to play a team that could also put up thirty
forty plus points, because I feel like that offense will

(05:52):
put up thirty plus consistently. I think if you're gonna
beat the Ravens, you just got to have an offense
that has firepower and move the ball, and you got
to own time of possession keep the ball out of
their hands. But I think the Ravens are going to
be just fine one and two. It's like the UH
one and two Broncos better than one and two. Well,
we'll see a couple of teams turn around. Think their

(06:13):
schedule is that easy? Though you went over it earlier. Today.
We have a Patreon, by the way, so Rich and
I start fighting bright and early in the morning. Look
up Covino and Rich. You'll find it then. And you
went over their schedule if you want. It's not a
cakewalk by any means. You want uncensored canon, yeah, off
the walls. But yeah, you real quick, do you want
to schedule? Watch just for a second, because you're saying, hey,

(06:34):
they're a good one and two, but they are playing
from behind. They are showing issues with defense and holding
onto the ball, and their schedule is not that easy.
So you can't you can't say it's gonna be an
easy road for the Ravens. No, no, no, let's take a
look sam schedule watching. The rich loves to look at

(06:55):
the schedule, game schedule watching. Yeahn they play the Chiefs.
I think they beat the Chiefs. It's in Kansas City.
They're only favored by two and a half. And that's
a big game this coming Sunday. That's your primo game.
Looking you know six days out that defense is not
gonna beat the Chiefs. You don't think, you think? Okay,
all right, so that's a doozy one of those teams

(07:18):
is gonna be one and three, which is wildly bizarre
to think that the Chiefs or the Ravens will be
one and three. Then after that the Texans, who are
zero and three, not the Texans of the last couple
of years. Then they play the Rams, who are pretty tough.
That's gonna be a good one. The Bears, who by
then maybe Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams have it together
even more so. Then they play the Dolphins, the Vikings, Browns, Jets.

(07:40):
They have a couple games in there they win easy.
But I think the Ravens are just fine. No one
wants to start one and two, but I think they
should be all good. But Lions looking strong thirty eight
to thirty, like even with a bad performance, the Ravens
were still in the game. I'll give you that much.
I'll give you that bit. Thirty eight to thirty. They'll

(08:00):
get it together, you would think, right, Derrick Henry really
has to hold on to the ball, and what could
I say about that? And just me does not fumble,
and they'd be in a better place. As the headline say,
you know, Baltimore Blunder I'm seeing on f S one,
Nick Wright was talking about it. ESPN's talking about it.
It is a time to panic for the Ravens. I
don't I don't think yet. There's a long schedule ahead
and it's Actiah hold on to the ball because even

(08:23):
what weak ass defense they would have been in the game,
no dignity, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
How about his reaction where you like flop back onto
the bench bench like throwing a tantrum. That's what my
two year old looks like when it gets in trouble.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Was that intentional or is that like the jog off?
Did he know when you trip? You know when you
trip and you start jogging to make it look like
the trip didn't happen, did he? Did he stumble and
then say I'm going to dramatically roll.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
No, I don't think it was a stumble. It was
more like his body was just having a reaction.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
It was like a fumble.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, So we hope you enjoyed your Monday night foosball.
Congrats on a big win to the Lions. Two and
one now. But in the other football news of the day,
Micah Parsons, is it Parsons or parcels? Parsons? Michael Parsons
Mike Parsons, MICHAEH. Parsons in the news because well, he's

(09:14):
heading back to Dallas. Now, this is wild, just as
the schedule gods have probably high fived each other. Sunday
Night Football, Week four of the NFL takes us to Dallas,
Texas for Packers Cowboys and of course Sunday Night primetime
Game of the Week, the most viewed game on the

(09:35):
NFL schedule every week. Sunday Night is where it's at,
two turntables in a microphone, and Sunday Night Football where
it's at. And there's talk of should Micah Parsons get
a video tribute in Dallas? And Jerry Jones has already
said like, not gonna happen, not today now, this will
this will not go down. It's a lot of extra

(09:56):
work for the media guy too. For four seasons with
the Cowboys, does it matter how the time was spent?
Like he was a dominant force with the Cowboys. Fans
love him. Are you doing it for the fans? You know,
there's so many ways to look at this. I'll give
you a great Remember how he bad mouthed Jerry Jones.
Let me get you that's a big part of it
a great analogy when you date someone. Okay, when enough

(10:19):
time passes, you could look back and be like, you
know what, we just weren't meant for each other. She's
a great woman. I think I'm a pretty good guy.
We were just not meant to be married. It just
it is what it is. But you know what, we
have great memories, maddied, good times, fantastic or when a
player leaves a team via a trade or hey listen,

(10:42):
we're rebuilding. We got to unload our stars and free
agency or the trade deadline. Recently, you know the Mets,
what was the big what was the big raw Raw
twenty twenty four Mets thing? Remember, oh my god, Julio
Iglesias sos a. I was gonna say Julio, I love

(11:02):
to say jose with oh my god, that whole rage.
He came back to City Field. He was only in
the Mets for a year, but his vibe was awesome.
He didn't burn the Mets. So they did a little
oh my god, hey thanks for last year, thumbs up
little montage on the screen. Yeah, he did nothing wrong.

(11:24):
He brought a lot, He had a nice run. He
was a fan favorite. I think that matters how did
you exit? I think it matters did you start your
career there? Like you a lifelong kind of guy. I
think that helps in the argument. Like the Glabor of love.
Glaber Torres just came back to the Yankee Stadium as
a Tiger and he got his ovation and everything else. Again,
a guy that started his early rookie career with the

(11:48):
farm System and the New York Yankees who recently came
back to the Dodgers and they threw a Dodger's hat
on him and started hugging him. World Series champion last year.
But we are a little but a guy that won.
I'm putting on the spot to anybody. It was someone's matter,
to someone that got their ring. Could be on the reds.
Maybe someone came back to Doctor Stadium and they threw
a door. Maybe no, no, no, they threw a hat

(12:08):
on him and Jack Peterson. No it wasn't Jock.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
No, it was to give him his world. Serious, I
would have noticed that Tobago h Gavin Lux. It was
Gavin Lucks.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Gavin Lux came back, they threw Dodgers had on him
for like twenty seconds. He reluctantly was like fans, right,
No one wanted to see Gavin Lucks. That's another reason
to celebrate. He had a championship run, he was part
of that team. You know, all these things are factors.
But does everyone get a montage? I feel we're montage crazy.
Enough time enough time that had passed where the Mets

(12:38):
felt it was okay to give Jacob de Grum a
little video montage a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
But did you see this in the NBA all the time?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Bro? You do? But let me tell you what do
they say? The paint has a dry? What is the saying?
The blood has it? Whatever it is?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Ink?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Something about that? The ink? The ink?

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Folly once Jerry Jones, we're talking like like weeks ago.
This guy told Jerry Jones to kiss his ass essentially
and force this. And Jerry Jones is not pleased with
Michael Parsons as you like to call him. So if
you think Jerry Jones should give this guy a tribute,
he should tell Michael Parsons to Uh. I can't even

(13:16):
say what I think Michael should tell him that too.
He didn't want to work with Micah's agent, Go Kick Rocks.
They're both in you know, they both have fault in this,
but I agree this is one of those too soon
sort of like if this happened a year from now,
without a doubt, but it would be like your girlfriend
dumped you for the mailman and then uh, then you're

(13:37):
bro hugging the mailman, like, hey man, all good.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I almost feel though, like Richie in sports, this has
become as soon as they come back for the first time,
we acknowledge them a year out, it's too far removed.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
It's yeah, this is too fat, too much, too soon,
and also what did you win over the last couple
of years? And by the way, it's four years like worthy,
I guess he's a start, no drafted up. But to
me that's like, I feel like you got to have
a state there. To us again, are you giving the
media guy a bonus four years? Because I think it
has to be you one with the team, or there's
a five year I think there's like, hey, did he
play more than five years? Did he win? You know what?

(14:09):
It's like. We work at Serious XM and iHeart not
everyone is worthy of a montage. Occasionally I'll get an
email at iHeart or Fox Sports or Serious XM and
it's like, this is like my farewell letter, and someone
writes some long ass letter like their farewell and they're like,
I worked in the marketing team for the last two years,
and I'm like, no one knows you. You don't deserve
a farewell letter.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Not okay, but let me ask you about that.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I agree, you have to have work there for a
few more years than that.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
What about the impact with that fan base though? For Dallas?
How many jerseys did they sell? For Micah Parsons that's
pretty much all you saw at Dallas home games?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Was a fan favorite.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Does the Jerry Jones put his ego aside and say
for the fans he's worthy of a montage? That's the
question what we're getting at right now. So we'd love
to hear from him in ninety nine on Fox. I say, no,
I think there has to be solid, valid reasons. Like
I said, five or more years you won with that team,
you had to be a star player. Like, yeah, he
fits some of the criteria, but I don't feel like

(15:07):
he checks all the boxes for a mandatory mont and
his return to Dallas with the Packers, now, can I
tell you it fits the criteria of but not all
of it. If Covino and Richard gree and I will
say him on top of that, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I think he cancels it out.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I think it's it's I listen. I think like a
Parsons is a star. I think even if this was
in again week sixteen or eighteen, we're talking weeks ago again.
This is like you found your wife sleeping with your
best butter he's still and then you're like, yeah, hey, honey,
happy anniversary.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Like you know, it's when the Cowboys fans reacted though.
Were they mad at Jerry or were they mad at Parsons?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
The pain's not even dry yet? Is that the phrase?
I think I think I said is that that Yankee
fans were burnt about soda.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Right.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Bodies not so warm, That's what it is. The body's
not cold it Cavino, I think you're we're ding bets. Covino.
I feel like you're sort of on the brink of
not hating Jan Soto the way you did, because time
has passed enough, you had a full season. You're like, yeah,
I don't like them, but you in the beginning of

(16:15):
the year you were like f won. So honestly, if
you want an honest answer, I'm realizing after the heartbreak,
much like any heartbreak in life, after the loss, I'm like,
we're better off. I'm better off, And that's the truth,
because without Juan Soto we were able to get freed,
able to get Yes, what is it all worked out?
But in the beginning you were very med Yeah, Bellinger like,

(16:38):
there's a lot of key players that we would have
had if it wasn't. I think we got four key players,
you know what, in place of Solo. I'll take that
out of any day and retrospects. And while the Mets
are fighting for their life, jan Soto had one of
his best years in year one as a Mets, So
it's like a win for everyone sort of. But in
the beginning, that would be like if the Mets play
the Yankees in the first week or so of the
season and the Yankees gave him a tribute own way,

(17:00):
the wound is still fresh.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Rich, But if you wait a whole year, Rich Rich,
if you wait a whole year, then what's the point
Wait till he's retiring then, you know. I mean, I've
just never knew it, That's what I'm saying. It seems
weird after a whole I think if.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
You burnt the bridge, You've lost your opportunity. And I
feel like he burnt that bridge. That's another major factor
to the story, the exit. We already mentioned it, but
he burnt that bridge. You bad mouth the owner, you
leave the team.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Him the prior season.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, but that's how it's perceived, right, So I don't
care about No, we've seen this.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
We've seen Jerry Jones do this with how many players though, that.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Would be like noting not to take it to like
pop culture and you know, political stuff his house. They'll
be like if next week, ABC's like we're throwing Jimmy
Kimmel a happy birthday party or so it's like a
week ago you were at odds Like it just feels
like the timing's off. Jerry Jones and Michael Parsons, it
would feel so full, gazy and faith at all. Yeah,
don't do it at all, And we got to keep

(18:01):
things in check. It's like when people retire, everyone wants
some sort of farewell tour. Now, No, you got to
be of a certain level and a certain standard to
garner some sort of farewell tour.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
You got to like did it.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
You gotta be a kershaw.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
He didn't do it. He announced it right before his
last start at home.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
But he's worthy of it. And I was there when
he actually spoke to everybody at the last at the
recent home game. You know, you gotta be of a
certain caliber of a player. And I'm not saying Michael
Parsons isn't that guy, but he's he's left on bad
terms at this current point. Can I tell you it's uh.
I don't want to be the I don't want to
sound grumpy or like the grumpy old guy, because I

(18:38):
do like celebration. I'm the guy I like gender reveals
and parties and get togethers. I find there if there's
a reason to celebrate celebrating. I'm not a grumpy guy.
Just to set the record trade, I'm I'm I'm actually like, hey,
bring on the fun. But I think we went from
lifers getting these tributes to like like regular players, Like
when King Griffy Junior returned to Seattle, he gave them

(18:59):
a tribute.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Right.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Sorry to Mike Gundy for getting fired on the week
of his anniversary. So he's a man, He's fifty eight.
I'm a man. I'm fifty eight. By the way, I
was trying to think of other quotable legendary quotes. I
mean we forgot playoffs, playoffs, Morris playoffs. I think it's
top five. I think it's a top FIVEFS. Those are

(19:25):
all good ones. Man, we're talking Michael Parsons. We're talking
about a bunch of random stuff here on Cavino and Rich,
but arguably after Parsons, the biggest story in the news today, Yeah,
is that starting next year. I love the year that
was so immediate. Hate when people they hate when something's
like it's a new rule and it's starting in three years.

(19:46):
Like I love the immediacy of like baseball saying with
you that next year begins the robot era. Robot era begins.
Drake three out the rollout from Rocky four. Happy birthday, PAULI, No, man,
it's awesome. MLB is going to implement the Automated Ball

(20:07):
Strike Challenge system in twenty twenty six after the league's
Competition Committee approved robot umpiring. I mean, human umpires obviously
will call every pitch, so you're still gonna have the
human element, so don'll be crying about it. I think
they're not taking our job. But I think there's some
idiots to just read a headline because I've already seen
people saying like, man, no more umps. It's like no
buffoons umps. Teams can appeal two calls per game to abs.

(20:32):
They didn't take our advice, Rich, I know, a strike three,
they get a third right here.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, if you get the first two right, they should
have give you a third.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
But you know what, DNYG. We saw it executed in
the Major League Baseball All Star Game this year.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, it worked.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Edwin Diaz was on the hill for the NL he
thought he cut the corner on a third strike. He
did a quick tap of the hat within three seconds.
Boo boo boo. I think it takes strike for thirteen
seconds is what I heard. But I mean it feels
very quick. And what is really cool about it is
that it's very interactive. During the All Star experience, we
all saw like, oh it was a strike. It goes

(21:06):
right to the screen. You're there. You get to be
part of the process at the game and on TV
because you're seeing it and there you could see it.
They got to get it right. There is a simple,
great strategy also involved. Where do you use these challenges
If it's the first inning and there's two outs, knowing
on is your guy gonna be like now, no tap
tap tap like you might want to say. Actually, the

(21:27):
technical term is rap tap tappy. Oh, if you want
to do a little rap tap tappy, rap tap tappy,
you have to get rap tap. You have to a
little come come on the kick drum, come come, come
on the kick drum and a wrap tap tappy. So
I think this is great and you kidding me? Innovate
or die. This is the next step into getting it
right and helping the game move along. Some people like
keeping Mike keeping a human layer. To this, Mike is like,

(21:48):
forget the human layer and maybe you know we're getting
to that eventually, because I'm a fan of the you
know layer as well. Big Mike wh runs this Mikes
like Yo, man heard the way Big Mike. Big Mike
actually said self checkout everywhere. I want people to lose
their jobs. I believe it's a big micro. The rules
are simple ABS challenge rules. Each team gets two challenges
and can keep them if they're successful. Challenges can only

(22:10):
be initiated by a pitcher, catcher or a batter. No
belly Acher's rich pictures and the requestments come right after
the pitch to signal a challenge to pitcher or catcher
or batter taps his hat or helmet to the umpire.
No help from the dugout, which was weird to me
because that's obvious. But with all the ways they communicate
from dugout to catcher and everything else, there's no way

(22:33):
if everyone if everyone's saying right, then you're gonna do it.
How are they gonna implement that rule? Dann Byer, I'm
a I'm not a you know, I'm not a man
that listened to everything Rob Manford and baseball says. But
I really feel like everything from the pitch clock, to
the bases, to the man on second and extra innings,
which I thought I wouldn't like, all these things I
feel like have been good for baseball. Are you opposed

(22:55):
as a traditionalist.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
Or no, No, I am, I'm not opposed. I do
think that we are so focused on the robot aspect
of it that I think we need to develop like
a character, like a cartoon, like a caricature of like
a judge who will then hand down the ruling on
if it was a ball or strike. Make that guy
a character throughout all thirty ballparks.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
What what what if the local mascot appears like it
could be mister med or Bernie the Brewer or anyone
comes out and they come out with like I was
a green or red flat.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
I was thinking, like Judge doubl Edday, you know that
that works like with a history, and then it's this
this animated feature and then he comes down and he
hits his gavel with the ruling and it's ball, you know,
like that all thirty stadiums uniform, Yes, something like that,
like you're outs.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think that that would be great. We're very focused on.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
Me the robot, but I think we need to do
it like branch out in that way.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
So one of the headlines was the robot Era begins
or something like that. That's what they're calling it. And
I just think that it proved that baseball's headed in
the right direction. You get a little compromise of human element,
but moving toward the future, getting it right is the priority.
Anyone that doesn't like it, I think is sort of
off the mark. I do. I agree with that. I
feel like the NBA, the NFL other organizations have for

(24:18):
the most part, I feel like the only misstep with
the rule change that we all agreed was remember the
past interference challenge, and it was just so subjective, and
I think we all agreed, like, all right, it was
a good idea, but on any given play, you could
be like, well, dudey Tugger's jersey like a tad, Like
we figure these things out as a collective, and I think,
who's going to argue the games? Sped up games, exciting baseball,

(24:42):
tendanc is up, viewership is up, interactive, they got young
star players. Now, who's going to oppose two times a
game for ten seconds? Yo? It was two and two,
bottom of the sixth ya. That was outside challenge, not
dude to cut the corner strike, especially in you know,
a big moment, right, you want to get it right.
And Dan dan Byer made me think of something else.

(25:03):
Remember the game Take It Back on a Tuesday. Remember
the game Karate Champ, the arcade game. You're thinking, we're
like a robot version of Stop Judge. It was long pause,
I was strike sorry Judge ball.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
I think if it was just a drawn up character,
you know, like he's got the long hair, maybe kind
of looks like Ben Franklin a little bit, but he's
the hated guy throughout all the ballparks, or the celebrated
figure I'm picturing Judge Wapner.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's interesting. Yes, there it is.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Get the women involved. Let's do it. Steve Harvey, show.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Me there were seats strike baseball taking another cool step.
I think, I know. Could you know? We al sort
of agree that it's a no. One's gonna argue now.
I will say, if you told me the whole game
is going to be auto robot umpire, I think I've
have been like, really, that's I like the umpire. I
like having the blue back there, but I think the
two challenges pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
What's interesting, though, is the comments underneath the articles today.
Rich so many fans, and they're saying, why not just
let the AVS system do the entire game?

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, I think that's too much too soon. Even though
I wouldn't really be that opposed to it, I do
like the human element. Still, you may want to get
there eventually. It's like, think about it, like if you
want to trust something kinky in the bedroom, you don't
go for it right away. Your work, you work your
way up, so he starts with a pinky, right. I mean,
but I'm just saying you don't know, saying like you
don't you don't go for it all at.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Once, talking about adjusting your bettings.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course real But
what do you think you said? Let's go to our
buddy d B for an up. Let's see what's going
on with Dan Byer.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
I think each team should have a robot hitter or pitcher,
so like, if you want to throw one eighty, you
know to bring them in like you you can only
bring him in for one inning? Yeah, but I mean
you talk about throwing heat. You have a robot that
can throw one eighty or basses juiced bottom of the ninth,
you bring your robot up, disassemble.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
He hits an eight foot Grand Slam to win it.
That would be amazing. Baseball simulator. Do you ever play
that game? Yes? I loved it playing on that Was
it out on the moon or outer space? Yes?

Speaker 5 (27:26):
The one other baseball note to pass along Guy's Red
Sox moving up Garrett Crochet's spot in the rotation. He's
going to pitch tomorrow against Toronto. That would allow him
to either pitch in a wild game, one of a
wildcard series, or even in relief if they need him
on Sunday, depending how things shake out later this week.

(27:47):
So Boston right now in that two spot in the
wild card in the American League, but just a game
up on the Astros and Guardians, who are also battling
for that final playoff spot.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Imagine if the Detroit Tigers go from by far the
best team in baseball to missing the postseason altogether, it
would overshadow my Mets collapse.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yes, like he.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Doesn't sound cliche, but that's why baseball. It's a long season.
You knows, Beautia, But I mean there's ups and downs.
When you realize that the Guardians and Tigers play the
next three days. Talk about anxiety and nervous stomachs in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yes, oh my god, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Did you Did you say Judge the Ale runner up
for evypy?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah? Right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
That clip is getting buzz if you want to go
to our Instagram at Covin on Rich. Also reposted on
Fox Sports Radio. Cavino not even he's saying, it's not
even a debate Aaron Judge over cal Raley and not
a debate if home runs an RBR with a B
all end All. Where was his award in twenty seventeen
when stupid out two v one. Okay, I chime in.
Watch a clip from yesterday show. Cavino at his most

(28:54):
fired up when he defends the Yankees. It's like he's
defending his family. Well, I don't want to get into
it because it's live. It's time for the Tyrack Play
of the Day, Covino and Rich live from the Fox
Sports Radio Studio. Lions running back David Montgomery went off
last night. Yeah, buddy here.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
Loft takes turns, gives to Montgomery two heads on that football.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
There he goes over the right tide, twenty five twenty
cuts to right FI fifteen down of the tenth out
of the time to the end zone. Touchdown, Detroit Lions
demo to the house. Thirty one yards and the Lions
have put this game on ikes averaged twelve point six
yards of carry one ft one. I mean, that's pretty

(29:36):
pretty damn pretty good to call, Larry David. Lions went
thirty eight to thirty courtesy of ninety seventy one the Ticket,
that's the Ticket, Lions Radio Network. That was our tire
rack player today. True. For over forty years, Tyraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive. Ship fast and free back by

(29:56):
free Road has a protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tyres, delay, ti Raq, dot Comway tire buying should
be again. Covino and Rich with Danny g on the
Phones eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Sammy Sweetheart
on the Ones, and two spots on the videos against
streaming live, we now stream live. You can chat live
Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. And if you missed

(30:19):
that conversation yesterday about Judge clearly being the MVP. I
know people love the cal Raley story, but we don't
create MVPs on a catcher's curve. There's no charity bonus
points because you're a catcher. He leads in every other
major category. Everyone. If you missed it, watched the full
show yesterday on the YouTube channel Covino and Rich FSR

(30:40):
or social media at Covino and Rich. Any other thoughts
on Dark because that's the other big story brooked. Micah
Parsons and his return to Dallas. Should he get a montage?
I think we're montage crazy. I think we are not
everyone's worthy. You need to check off all the boxes
and you can't burn the bridge on your out expect
the montage we talked about the new MLB rule ABS

(31:06):
starts in twenty twenty six. Nobody here as opposed to that.
If anything, we're saying, yeah, make the whole thing ABS.
But I do like the human element. Jackson Dart's the
other story. He gets the start. It's gonna be exciting,
It's gonna make people want to take a look. The
kid looks like he has the enthusiasm and potential of
uh people love this kid. But you know what, that's

(31:28):
the that's the risk, right you want to crush his
confidence with a crappy ass team. We don't know, but
I have a question. If it was it was your
last if you were the coach Daniel Jones examples is
a great example. If you're the coach man, if you
were in there, if you're if Steve Cavino is Brian Dable,
guy's got the same hairline. If you guys were the
same dude, if your job was on the line, you talk.

(31:51):
I got a Mike Gundy hairline.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
If your job was on the line, you care less
about the future and feelings of Jackson Dart. If your
career on the line, like again, if you had if
he was locked up, and it's some like, hey, Hardball's
gonna be there a long time, or you you know
you're Rump Payton. We've invested in you in the future
for Denver, Brian dables On, he's one of the coaches
that are on the hot seat. Guy, his care, his

(32:15):
care for the players is going to be less. I
know that sounds bad, but it's true. You're fighting for
your life.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Man.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Well we also have rookie examples now of c. J.
Stroud and last year jade and Daniels, so it's not
always throw them in and they lose their confidence. You
got to have confidence in your O line and have
a decent running game. And if the QB, even if
he's young, if he has good poise like Jadeen Daniels
last year, then you know he can obviously ride out
the season with a lot of wins.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
I guess we'll find out. I just it was sooner
than expected, at least for me. You think Danny g
you called it right like around week four he said,
you think, uh, You think cat like Malik Neighbors is
really excited about some new young arm and maybe be like, Yo,
maybe you and I have the one two punch for
like the next year's to come? Like, is Malik Neighbors
salivating at this?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
You think I.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Spoke for highly of Wilson before the game. He gets
paid to build in the chemistry. He had it to
speak highly of his QB one. But maybe now Molik
Neighbors is like, oh, this is this is where we
are moving forward. Hey, I guess we'll just have to
wait and find out, right, Portnoy says, and he's doubling
down that Brady's getting paid seventy five million dollars from

(33:22):
the Saudi Arabians to play flag football, and Brady responded,
are we just picking numbers out of a hat and
reporting them? And while we're breaking news, Elvis is doing
the halftime show and Babe Ruth is going to sign
some motographs for fans. And Brady also continued, I heard
Dave prefers floppy pizza now that we're on it. So

(33:44):
he's saying that's not true. They got to be getting
paid a lot, though maybe not seventy five mil. But
Portnoy is saying that's the number he was told. I'm
sure Brady's getting paid dude, it's not seventy five. When
you hear like, oh, Beyonce did some you know Chikh's
kids sweet sixteen? You know the number substantial? Oh yeah,
oh yeah, Well you mean when you hear all of

(34:04):
their while I'm sure and we the fans, I guess
in viewers, if we get to see, I'm sure reap
all the benefits of this. But yeah, it'll be fun.
So anyway, I hope you're having that kind of day,
not a Mike Gundy who got fired sort of day.
I hope you have his amazing hairline though, his amazing quoff.
That's pretty cool. He's blessed by the hair gods. Could
I ask you a couple quickie questions real quick in

(34:25):
the store. And then I got a question about Daniel Jones.
So we talk Daniel Jones. We'll take some feedback, some
phone calls. First of all, if you live that mom
or dad life, well I want to direct you to
a video while you're following us on our Fox Sports
Radio Kavin on rich YouTube page. If you go to
my Instagram at Rich Davis, if you're living that mom
or dad life, it's like my favorite video. So it's
my opportunity for a second to just, you know, talk

(34:46):
about my kid for ten seconds. My daughter got her
first hit off of kid pitch, and when she gets
the first base, when you see the excitement when she
pumps her fish, She's like, let's go. She's eight. That's
what sports is all so about. It really is. It's
like why we love sports so much. That's why we
love sports. When you see a little kid get their

(35:07):
first hit, when they first play kid pitch, or you
see your kid make their first three pointer, you know,
your kid's first touchdown, these are the moments they give
a young commodation. Man, it really does, dude. I've been
riding off little league confidence all this way this whole time.
If you don't think we joke about it, but if
you don't think Cavino's little league home run prowess gave

(35:27):
him confidence, it absolutely I did. So if you go
at Rich Davis, I posted the video. My daughter got
a hit and watching her excitement makes us all realize
why we love sports. And while you're a little vulnerable
and happy because it's a nice video, can you I
know you're gonna end up winning this bet. I'm going
to owe you at least fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars. Shit,
that's mess, Yankees. Bet can your for the Mets to

(35:50):
make the playoffs just for the week? Can you like
I would like to find it in your heart? Of course,
I would love to see the Mets make the playoffs.
They need the Reds. I never hated the Mets. They
need to outplay the Reds by one game. And all
of a sudden, the biggest Pittsburgh Pirates fan, Skeens, is
going tomorrow. I'm like, in my mind, I'm like, come on,
we don't want we don't want you left out of
the fun. Oh oh, Danny, G and Dan, We're all

(36:12):
excited about the playoffs. We don't want you to. I
don't want to be the fade out. I don't want
to be weenie in the room and DB's got his
Brewers head on and two Dodgers and Yankees. I want
to be involved, Guys. I mean, you're always the weenie
in the room. But yeah, I'm running for your man.
It's not Dann Bayer.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
I just I love that video and how great is it?
I don't know, Kevino, how many of the twenty seven
home runs you have on video, but I'm guessing not
all twenty seven, not.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Even a single one. Yes, yeah it could be fake.
Yeah that's that's amazing.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
And I'm sure and I don't know if you guys
have experienced this because our athletic careers ended a long
long time ago, but you still remember what the ball
looks like coming at you when you had.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
A big hit or what it was. So suld probably.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Remember what that softball was looking like coming into the
strike zone when she hit it.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
So I remember some of the voices too from you
or dug out your coach or family, and.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
The video of my daughter Emmy. The reason I'll bring
it up is because we're all allowed to be proud
parents with our kids. It just you know, we've been
doing coach pitch and she did T ball. This was
her first time where some girl was throwing some heat
and she because when the kids walk, then the coach
comes in to do coach pitch, and that's so much
of it when they're that age. So when she got
her first hit off another kid, she was so fired off.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Flexes.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Flex is the first place I've seen I've never seen
this side of my daughter, and she goes, let's go
and I'm like, who is this kid? Yeah, she has
uh more at forums than you do. She was like,
really was this music playing in the background? Yes, should
have been. You should do a little mona and she
does a little where the tornadoes, a little flexing like
Freddie Freeman. I know. So again at Rich Davis and

(37:47):
of course follow us on the YouTube. We're live now
doing video every day. And as little much that she
did the worm to first base though that wasn't that much,
but yeah, yeah, and then she would walked a second.
She was happy. Brown was a little much, but aside
from that was great. Right, So let's let's get to
Daniel Jones. We talked about Dart right and and the
risks involved there. There's a lot of risk reward. You're

(38:10):
risking ruining this guy's confidence and career and foundation and
start to his career. But he could turn it on
and make the Giants a contender. Like Skataboo, he looked good.
There's like things that that look good for the Giants.
Maybe he steps up. Like Danny g said, you saw
c J. Straud two years ago, you saw Jayden Daniels

(38:33):
last year. It's not wild to think a young quarterback
could see early Sama. The giants they're like a bad woman,
you know, they're known to ruin a good guy. I
know so, I mean Scataboo. Look what they did the
Daniel Jones Scataboo Malik neighbors. Jackson Dart, I almost feel
like you have you, You almost have this the framework

(38:53):
and some of the skeletal pieces to what the giants
building towards. There's a lot of potential there. You don't
want to rush it a line. You need some mother weapon.
There's still a lot of work to be done in
New York, in the meadlelands. But this should be interesting,
Jackson Dart. It's risk reward. I think the kids got
he's got some what are they called moxie. I think
he's got some. I think he's the type that wouldn't

(39:15):
be ruined if he didn't have success at first. I
think he's got some some waveless okay, But Daniel Jones
was also in that situation and it just never worked,
never click, never the right fit for this guy and
his potential. He goes to Indiana. Now he's Indiana Jones.
He's no longer Daniel Jones. He's Indiana Jones, and his

(39:38):
numbers are comparable, like dead on to Josh Allen. So
he went from guys struggling in New York with the
Giants to Josh Allen. Like numbers, he went from this
guy stinks to oh wow, Daniel Jones is a really
good NFL quarterback. But did you really think that he's
stunk or did you think he was in a weak
ass situation? To be honest, I was sort of torn

(39:58):
because as we all watch ball closely, there were moments
where you're like, yo, this guy's got some good football instincts,
is quick in the pocket when he needs to be.
I just thought that, yeah, maybe he was circumstantial. Well,
you know, it's a life lesson and we say it
all the time. Maybe you're just in a bad situation
and you need to move somewhere else. Uh, that's life.
That's what the people say. And the story here is

(40:20):
Saquon Barkley, who also got a second chance, won a
Super Bowl, became the man on another team. They were
teammates on the Giants, and Saquan says he's rooting for
his former QB. In fact, he has a pretty good quote.
Did you say did you want him say outside of
the Philadelphia Eagles and myself, I don't want anyone else
to perform at a high level besides Daniel Jones. I

(40:42):
find out to be really nice and endearing. That's really sweet. Well,
they battled together in New York. They sort of battled
and failed together in New York, but they both believed
that there was more to this and more to their
careers than what was in New York. He found success
with the Eagles, and he's wishing his buddy success in Indiana.
But that's it because he has respect for him. And honestly,

(41:03):
that carries a lot of clout, as the kiddos say,
even though it's a word, carries a lot of clout
with me. Like man Saquon is saying he's wishing them well.
That also implies that he always knew he was better
than what was reflected in New York. And it also
reminds you that and that he's a good dude. It
also reminds you that there was a really good relationship
between Daniel Jones and Saquon and they were probably almost

(41:26):
commiserating together, like we know we got something, why isn't
it working? And then they go other places and it works.
It's and I think that's a very relatable sort of thing.
You know, people that start out out together, Like, there's
dudes I root for that I started out in radio together,
and I see they're doing like my buddy Rusuto does
mornings in Saint Louis. Yeah, we started radio together. Man,

(41:47):
seeing him kick ass and Saint Louis and run that
city mornings and Saint Louis, Like, I'm happy to see
that because I know where we started. And I feel
like that's a relatable sort of thing that Saquon and
Jones bond over together. I was really nice to Saquon
Barkley to say that he wishes him well. I think
as a coworker and even as a fan, I think
you could say there's people you came up with, you

(42:08):
came up with in your career that exactly that you
would root for. Even though they might not be in
the same company as you, they might be a competitor,
you do root for them. And I think as far
as sports teams go, as a as a fan, there's
guys that were on your team and it didn't work out,
and there's a party that's like, well, you know what,
as long as it's not playing my team. I'm always
gonna like I always look at Jacob de Gram's box

(42:28):
score and I'm like, man, I hope that kid does good. Yeah,
he's not a kid anymore, but you know, I like
to say that da Gram still has it. Danny g
posts another side question too. It's like, you know, we
sort of I mean, COVID is what got us out
of ESPN. COVID happened, right, so the world happened and

(42:49):
contracts ended and that sort of thing. He's like, yeah,
if you left sort of on weird terms like that, though,
do you still root for the other people that that
you moved on from? Oh, there's people I root for ESPN?
And I pose that question to everybody, like do you
root for former co workers and colleagues? Do you understand
where Saquan's coming from me now? Because I definitely do,

(43:10):
But I wonder if everybody subscribes to that or do
you have you know, a few attitudes. There's a level,
it's you know what level it is. You ever go
through a breakup, but it's not on bad terms, like
you really the girl was good, just not for you,
and you're like, man, I really want her to be happy.
I hope she finds a great guy, just not quite
as cool as me. Like that's how your mindset is,
Like I want her to find a good guy, but

(43:32):
not me, I think. And when you really break that
with Saquan said too. He basically said, I don't care
about any other giant or the organization or the I
don't care about anything, but Daniel Jones is my guy.
Who do you Who do you root for? ESPN? That's
an interesting one man. A lot of people actually, now
that you mentioned it, because he made a lot of
good Uh, I guess friendship. I'll tell you what. When

(43:56):
I see George so Donald's big head covering a big
NBA game, I'll shoot him a text like, Yo, George,
you're killing it. Man. We work with George. I root
for George. For Gary Streiski, yeah Gary. Some of the
guys from is that the Asian Covino, Yeah yeah, he's
a younger hands word with Randy. They do a great job.
Hercules and Mauricio and from Alda Nounka, Yeah, they do

(44:22):
a great job. I mean, there's there's certain people you.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Want me to go over the list now of all
the ones you hate.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
I'll give it is Clinton Yates on when we're on
because I'm not gonn root for him anymore. If that
he could only moderate, he could refer to coming second place. Yeah,
but yeah, I think it's a normal thing. But you
rarely hear that, And that's why it's it's newsworthy, and
that's why it stands out. It's Saquon taking a cool
approach on his former quarterback, and I think that's a

(44:49):
bond that we sometimes underestimate. Hey, remember Terall Owens, I'm
sorry Terrell Owens cried about his quarterback. That's my quarterback,
Tony Romo, my quarterback. Daniel Jones and Saquon once had
that relationship and he still roots for his dude, and
that's my quarterback. So that's the story. Any other colleagues

(45:11):
in your life that you still root for based on that,
I think it's okay to do so, no dignity, no doubt. Now,
we got a lot still to get to here on
cn R. In fact, once had it Jason in Texas,
he's been on hold. You just wanted to touch on
some of the things we spoke about first hour, everything
from Jerry Jones saying hell no to a Micah Parson's
tribute Robotic Umpires, Jackson Dart. We've covered a lot. We'll

(45:35):
take any Yeah, A seven nine on Fox, and of
course everything at Covino and Rich. What up Jason? What's up? Jay? Hey?

Speaker 4 (45:43):
Guys, how are you well?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Good man?

Speaker 1 (45:44):
What's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Great show?

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Hey. Two quick things. Number one, Jerry Jones does not
want to rip that band aid off getting an open
that scab because that was not a popular move for
people down here.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Number two is somehow you got to get movie rights
for the robot umpires to put Bob Buker on there
saying just a bit outside some early school.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Some Bob Buker AI get the family. Thank you, buddy.
I do want to talk a little baseball if that's cool,
because I know we have my home showtime trivia. We'll
talk more NFL, but cave. You know there's six games
left and your Yankees are in the clear, Danny g.
Your Dodgers are in the clear. You guys are postseason teams.

(46:31):
You're barring some wild ridiculous thing you're in right? Have
they both officially clinched some type of wildcard spot?

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Dodgers are definitely in the season.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
And what's cool about this season is you could say
that the Brewers have all the tools to take it,
but history shows that the best record doesn't always come
through as the statue rarely. STATU showed that seven out
of the last thirty World Series since the strike year
and baseball came back with the wild card and all

(46:59):
that seven times and thirty seasons the best team won
the World Series. So factor that stat into this equation. Plus,
I don't think they're battle tested and ready for this moment.
I don't know he had to be proven. I'm just
saying he had to be proven, right, But you factor
that into this. It's anybody season. Like last year. I'm like, man,
the Dodgers are so dominant, right, and the Yankees were

(47:21):
so good, But you knew the Dodgers deep down had it.
I don't know whose season it is. That's what makes
it extra interesting. I think heading into the postseason ghost season.
Dodgers and Padres are both postseason bound. They're within a
couple games of each other. There's no domination there. Milliawuauke,
dan Byer's Brewers look the best, but you're right, the
truly who's hot. I saw a locker room talk given

(47:43):
by Yelich. That really shows you what a team leader
he is about eleven in the moment, and how we're
if we go the distance, we are not only friends now,
we are part of each other forever. And on a
side note, we interviewed him like the nicest guy, like
such a nice dude. Assume he's West Coast guy. He's
a local bad Yes, Agora Hills, California. Yeah, meaning like

(48:04):
he didn't walk around like he was a superstar. He
was just like a nice, humble kid. And meanwhile, this
guy's hitting bombs. I'm hoping the Cubbies continue their losing streak.
They they lost for to Cincinnati, which helped my Mets
not one little bit. Cubbies are in and I think
the team if you had to pick a favorite right now,
I think it might be Philadelphia. But then you could say, well,
Zach Wheeler, they're ace. The guy that would start game

(48:25):
one in any series in baseball is out. So where
does that leave them? Not in a good situation. You know, Detroit,
who is the best team in baseball for most of
the year, could very well not even make the.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Playoffs, right playoffs, So think about that, Like just at
the All Star break and I'm.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
So Wheelers out.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
Yeah, scooball and the Tigers may not make the postseason.
Muserowski's probably coming out of the bullpen for the Brewers
in the postseason. Like things have so much, has changed
so much.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
On one point of the year, the Mets were twenty
something games over five hundred. They are now eighty long
season and seventy six with six games to go, And
then you wonder, like I have friends that are talking about, well,
they're playing this team. I think at this stage of
the game, anyone could beat anyone Baseball. That's what's crazy
crazy about baseball. It's not like this postseason, especially, I

(49:17):
really feel it's up for grabs, which whoever catches fire
at just the right time and on any given day
with the starting pitching and it does it. Nothing matters
in baseball as far as all that stuff. Meaning. In football,
when the Browns upset the Packers, it's like, oh my god,
how could that happen? In baseball, the Mets could sweep

(49:38):
the best team and then they lose two out of
three against the Nationals. We got six games to go,
and there's a part of me that's like, if you
sneak in. Do you really genuinely feel like sneak it
to the playoffs and all is forgiven? Because I have
met fan friends that are like, they don't even deserve it.
In fact, I almost hope they don't make it, and
I'm like, why dude, they if they sneak in, then
all It's almost like, well, that's a conversation itself, like

(50:02):
do you want to be teased and be dragged through
the postseason just to be let down or would you
rather than not make it at all? But my point
is win eighty four games and way on the deliver,
but you made the postseason. If you made the post
wins really pessimistic, Yeah, it just it's wild to me. Toronto,
your Yankees have this weird shot to catch up. Toronto's

(50:23):
only two games ahead with six to go. So baseball
at a really cool spot right now. And the rest
of the Yankees games are easy games.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
For the most way.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Cleveland trailing Detroit by only a game, and they're about
to start a three game set within an hour, So
you know, baseball's popping. We've been saying it all year.
I don't care what anyone says any one season. Baseball,
Baseball Baseball, and next week I heard good old mad
Dog Grusso, you're Opel. I miss mad Dog and it's
got on, you know. I root for him though, like
Saquon and Daniel Jones. Mad Dog Grusso made a great point.

(50:54):
The teams that have clinched that will probably have a
first round by Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland, or Detroit. Right, I'm sorry, Seattle.
Likely these are the smaller market teams. Wildcard Week, which
is next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, is gonna feature Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs,

(51:16):
maybe the Mets, Padres, all the big market WHOA teams.
So Baseball Wildcard ratings could be through the roof because
all the great teams that are smaller market again Cleveland, Toronto, Milwaukee,
they gotta buy. So you're gonna see guys. You gonna
see Red Sox, Yankees, Cubbies, Dodgers, all your like legacy

(51:38):
teams all into a die like wildcard three game sets.
I'd be realistic if the Yankees were playing like ass, right,
because for a while I was thinking they might be
ass yeah, but then they turned it on. He turned it.
Now I'm gonna end up paying for half your daughter,
sweet sixteen you got Free, you got rodn you got
Heel on the Hill, king of the Heel, you got

(51:59):
this started pitching, which is working. I really feel if
they if they can get past the Red Sox, it's
they think they got a solid shot. A good shot
is anyone. And I'll say this, the Red Sox are
the team just because certain teams have their number have
their number this year, so it's the Red Sox. I
think Yankee fans sort of fear the Red Sox a little.
But of course I want to hit rivalry. I want

(52:20):
to hit on you Yankees because that's just the fun
of our show. Mets fan, Yankees fan, Danny's a Dodgers guy.
The last point I'll make is come playoff time, that's
when your rotation and how you use your bullpen and
what starters you moved to middle relief and Dodgers have
infamously been known to somehow master the bullpen game, which
is crazy. Teams win World Series with bullpen games. Now

(52:44):
the Yankees with Max Fried at the top of that rotation,
with rodin number two, and the way they've been pitching,
and they got Schlitler or Louise Hill, who was rookie
of the year last year. Watch your mouth, I said, slit.
That's that's a tough battle right there. I mean I
thought Philly had the best pitching, but Wheeler got on.
They might be number two to the Yankees right now,

(53:05):
all right, now, it's time for a little Showtime Mahomes trivia.
Let's go the mostly lovable Patrick Mahomes. Truth is, I
want everybody to love me, not just the refs. It's

when I was a kid, I can tell you every
stadium name. And that was an adult working in sports radio.
I'd be fifty to fifty one of them. To remember
when you were a little kid, you like that was
one of your little memorization things like that. I know
every stadium in ballpark. They were cool names. Now they're
like Actressure and you know Meadows Bank and just and

(57:33):

Yeah, he gave you a couple of seconds there that
beats him.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
See, yes, David Montgomery is the winner.

Thanks Sam, Thanks Sam, Sam. So eight dollars tickets for
the reds Pirates game must be paid off because Red's
got out of the first sitting. No runs for the Pirates.
Come on, Pittsburgh, I can't believe you're rooting that hard

(59:26):
for the Pirates with your eye patch on and everything. Man.
During the break, Rich was listening to a shanty, a
sea shanty. He's really fired up about this. Once was
a team from Cincinnati that, Yeah, I was. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Man's good.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Rich is really committed by the way c and our
pirates favorite. That's what I've heard, pirates favorite and number
one with pirates guys. Just so you knows the Pirates welcome. Yeah,
let me ask you a question for everyone around the
room before we watch baseball. All eyes on? Okay, well

(01:00:04):
I have a question too, So make it snappy like
a rubber band sandwich. That's a good one. While I
watched the Pirates and Reds on, one eye are and
the other eye is on the medicine cubs of the
NFL injury so far? What's the most devastating Burrow? Is it? Well,
Burrow is still not officially deemed out for the year.

(01:00:27):
Is it James Connor and all of a sudden Arizona's
out there star running back? Is it the forty nine
Ers losing Nick Bosa? Is it Ceed lamb being out
for like a month or so? Like, what's the yeah
Bosa that hurts? Is the one? Does the Bosa one
take the Niners from like, oh, maybe they could contend
to well, they ain't gonna contend without Najie Harris. With
the Chargers, Harris, who's in your quarterback? I think Joe

(01:00:51):
Burrow is pretty Yeah, that's pretty drastic. That could be
the one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Yeah, I would say Burrow's number one on the board.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
This is the year where I mean what they started?
Uh they started two and oh and then got smashed,
So you were like, oh, wow, they didn't start zero
to three and have to fight back. They you know,
they started smash smash, smash. She's gonna come back at
some point, right like he's got he had surgery and
turf too. Is is the prognostic? Is the prognosis? Prognosis?

(01:01:18):
You should have let me struggle Sam the prognostication. I
would have struggled through that trust. But I think three months,
like we think about all right, so what is the
end of September, end of October, November, December? Like you
think without Joe Burrow in a division with the Ravens
who are going to battle back with the Steelers who

(01:01:40):
you know, look at what Aaron Rodgers has done so far.
They're two and one and a pretty good AFC. Do
you think the Bengals are a factor even in the
end of December without Burrow? I mean, forst instinct, No,
It's just I feel like another wasted year for the
Bengals in Burrow. And I know you Danny G saw
those comparisons to Andrew Luck right where it's like, is

(01:02:02):
Joe Burrow this decade's Andrew Luck Where it's like, yo,
one of the best. I mean, this guy's generational, but
will it ever pan out?

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Yeah, he's been sacked more in the same time period.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Hikes. Oh buy my question, real quest as far as
how long he's played so far, and you could answer yeah, man, dude,
he can't avoid injuries at this point. So you feel
bad for those guys. I mean, they're making a ton
of money, But there are guys where like your son
Nick Boso has his third knee injury, Burrow went down again.
When you see Bosa walking to the tunnel and he

(01:02:32):
looks up to what probably is like his family or
maybe John Lynch and he gives a thumbs down with
a sad luck didn't like. Didn't that hit you a
little bit? Like, man, this guy works so hard. Man,
these are a young man and really short their livelihood.
Of course, he never it could be a season ruin,
and you never quite know if you're gonna get out
out there again or be the same the same. Yeah,

(01:02:53):
that's tough. My question was sort of simple, bigger non
story being that Jimmy Kimmel's back. And when I say
nons I'm not saying that freedom of speech and your
rights is a non story. I'm saying like he's already
back figuring out the story Jimmy Kimmel or torpedo bats,
and I compare them only because it was all the
buzz for a second and then everybody moved on to

(01:03:15):
the next Again, don't we're not fighting about free speech
or Trump or about politics. This is about everyone was devastated,
only to find out he's back already. He was never fired,
he was suspended. Kimmel suspended back like two days later
or what everyone thought. Torpedo bats were the rage and
the Yankees were sort of cheating and all the torpedo bat.
It was like the biggest story going for three days

(01:03:36):
and then we never talked about it again. Well, I'll say,
when you say bigger non story, I might answer, and
my answer is the torpedo bat because I think in
a decade from now you may put torpedo bats on
a list of the biggest all time non stories. It was.
It was the number one sports headline for what Sam
you remember what a couple of days which never made

(01:03:57):
because maybe they had been used the year before.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Four It was a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
And all of a sudden, it was like, you know,
no one could wrap their head around this this new invention,
and is it legals, Like, yeah, obvious, it's legally, your dumbass,
And each team in Major League Baseball, by the way,
warning track shot for Cincinnati, they're out of the first inning,
all right. Every team has a couple of guys to
use the torp pedo bat. Ends of story, non stories,
that's all you could chime in at Covino and the promise,

(01:04:26):
let's go Mets.
