pack week of October Baseball football Shenanigan is.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Fun fishball all here on Coveno.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
The by the way, is Jalen Hurt's wearing a chef's
hat at the press conference?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
What is that? I gotta put my glasses on? What
the hell is that?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
No? He lost, so it was like a bet, like
you lose against the Broncos, you gotta wear this funny
ass hat.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That is the weakest thing. How did I miss that tear?
I know it makes me go hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And, as we do every Monday, your observations from this
weekend in the world of football life, whatever we get
you involved at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
or broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Video Studio again
Steve Cabino, Rich Davis, Danny g Sam Spotty dB and
you let's right out now do it? I could have
(01:09):
looked this up, but I forgot. Is this the earliest
in a long time there hasn't been an undefeated team
in the NFL through five weeks. I feel like every
year that's at least one five and oh team like
four and one's your best record shared by a handful
of teams. But both undefeated teams picked up an L.
They took an L yesterday, Eagles and Bills last night.
(01:30):
So you're looking at a league of parody. And no
one's that great, no one's unbeatable. But I feel like
there's always one team that, maybe even just based on
strength of schedule, makes it at least five or six
weeks undefeated.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yes, right, I mean real four to five week predicted.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The Ravens being booed, right, But I hope you had
a Texans, Saints, Broncos, Buccaneers, Pats sort of weekend, not
in Arizona, Cardinals, New York Yankees sort.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Of weekend, and I could throw Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I was gonna try to avoid that, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But I do.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What a story that was over the weekend. You know
what's a better story, Taylor Swifts new album or that
Mark Sanchez story, the Mark Sanchez story. You know, it's
all sensitive and terrible, Like, no, there was a stabbing.
Lives are almost lost. The pictures of the other guy
are gruesome, Danny, you and I were saying, it's just
it was a.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
A range of emotions.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
At first, it's like, oh my god, you thought someone
probably just f with Mark Sanchez because maybe he's wearing
a nice watch or he's a celebrity. And then you're like,
oh my god, I hope he lives. Oh my god,
thank god. It went from prayers for Mark Sanchez, which
people still have to.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He was the aggressive Wait a minute, he was the guy.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What exactly? Yeah, very weird developments. There's videos coming out
as we speak. Terrible, terrible story. We'll touch on that
a little bit, but not too much. Plus will play
some games called Last One Standing. We do it every Monday.
We give away prizes. Lebron's in the news and by
the way, we won't touch on it because we choose
not to. I have people hit me up being like
you guys were for Fox Sports. Did they tell you
(03:01):
not to talk about it? No one tells us. Honestly,
no one has ever told us don't talk about blank, Well,
it means in your own head, but I don't know
all the details. Mark Sanchez has always been nice to us.
Who knows what the real false story is?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So what the hell are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It makes me go hmmm, for sure, no doubt, And
that's where we start to show. But again, hope you
had a great weekend. Spooky season is here. I'm busting
out jeans for the first time of the season. So
it's that time of year guys out here in California. Oh,
I hope you had a nice one. Hope you have
a great fall at Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty always has
(03:37):
a great fall. Hey, Sam, are you invest in this fall?
Are you gonna rock a vest like Martin McFly, because
that's the look.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I absolutely will. But didn't Humpty Dumpty fall and crack
his eggshell? No, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He walked around the foliage, he got a pumpkin spice latte,
he went apple picking. Yeah, he had a hell of
a fall. He had a great fall. That's pro visionist
history here. Yeah, I mean the Humpty Dumpty great fall.
Max Freed not sorry, Aaron Judge debatable. I don't know
he's got to come up in the big moments. But
in the world of foosball, lots of surprises and it
(04:08):
doesn't have to be just football. Could be UFC three twenty,
it could be the smashing machine at the box office.
It only made six million this weekend, so a while
you go. Meanwhile, thirty three million dollars worth of people
watching Taylor Swift discuss her album.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So that's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But I do want to start with your Yankees real
quick before you dive into all the football.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah. One, a guy like Max Freed, who's.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Been arguably a top three pitcher in baseball all years.
You have the motion he's in that conversation when you
say who dominated you know, schoo ball and schemes and
Freed those to me, Zach Wheeler got hurt, Crochet, Crochet.
It's really unfortunate when your team makes the postseason and
(04:54):
the guy that really put the team on his back
anytime you needed a guy to stop the losing, stopped
the bleeding, as they say. I think he was eleven
and one after a Yankees loss. So if ever there
was a time, yeah, now eleven and two, if you
kept the postseason, if there was ever a time to
stop the bleeding and get to win. It was the
game two yesterday. And what's disheartening about that, and any
(05:15):
sports fan could relate, is you wait all year for
these moments only to watch your team fizzle like that.
It's the worst, So it must win tomorrow. Basically, if
you don't know what we're talking about, the Yankees got
schlid on yesterday, a little taste of their own medicine.
A rookie for the Blue Jays came out, shut him down,
and shut it down. Now the Blue Jay's just teeing
(05:35):
off on Max Freed, So you have to admit if
you were not a Yankees fan.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
By the way, that's a player's name, to be clear.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, Kem Slittler is the Yankees saving grace. The rookie
star that came through, well, guess what Blue Jays was it?
Ya Savage? Yesovich, He was savage yesterday against the Yankees.
Came through and dominated with eleven strikeouts of his own.
So Yankees got shut down. They look like ass. They
(06:01):
might be ass and it was not fun to watch.
One last Yankee thought, unless you're a Blue jaysan One
less Yankee though, before we get into football. More people's
heads in the football game right now. But if you
are at a Yankees fan, could you at least admit how
electric that crowd in Toronto looked when Vladdie Junior hit
that grand Salami. It was the most predictable grand salami
(06:23):
that ever was. Meaning like, you're like, they get a
groove of one. Arn had no choice but the groove
one down there, Laddie's sitting there tease off on it,
and it was just so obvious. In fact, there's a
funny viral clip of John Boy totally predicting it, and
I felt the same way watching it. I'm like, here
it is, this is a grand slam coming grooves one bam.
Game over sucked, Will Warren, he's cheeks, he's straight buns.
(06:45):
As the kids say in these moments, again, you gotta
step up. So a week weekend for this guy, especially
since I was driving my daughter around like her personal
chauffeur trying to find sweet sixteen dresses.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh yeah, no, No, that's a good day the sports.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's a special But at the same time, I do
want to just sit back and relax a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
But I hope your weekend was good. I hope it
was better than the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Hope it was better than Will Warren's and Max Frez
and Hey, national games tonight, National League fans, Tonight, your night,
Danny g You're gonna go off two to zero in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
In just about an hour. First pitch, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
See if you don't name this what we were talking,
He's like, he named all three series and he forgot
Milwaukee versus the Cubs, and he goes, no, no one cares, no,
it's it's not that I was just speaking from the heart,
meaning I was thinking that the Dodgers Philly series was
the more exciting one to talk about. Good save would
just insult everybody else. Cubs, you know, that's an exciting
(07:47):
one too. So we'll enjoy some games tonight and some
Monday Night football. But like we always do, can you
not want to ignore the sixth spot the Brewers put
up in the first inning the other day in Game one?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He just think, you know, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It was like two years ago when the Rams beat
the Seahawks in Week one and Cavino came in, He's like, oh,
he had.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
A forty hours. It was right.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
There was a Rams weekend John Ramos is whooping it up,
and I'm like, screw you.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I remember that now that you bring it up. Yeah,
he holds onto these things. Man never like cho Yeah
he does. They always say that a buyer never forgets, right,
that is true.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're so fun heard that, So you know, I hope
your weekend was better than the Yankees weekend. I hope
your weekend was better than Mark sanchez Is weekend, and
how about better than Amari Demarcado. Why does this happen
multiple times a year? We talk about it every year,
so I don't want to repeat something we said maybe
(08:41):
six months a year, two years ago, three years ago,
every freaking year, this time this year, right, there's got
to be an explanation, and my explanation. I remember we
even posted a video about this on our Instagram Patrick
a year ago. Because it's happened, and my take hasn't changed.
When a guy goes for a pick six or bust
open a big run or catches a slant and he's
(09:03):
going to the house, when the guy drops the ball
at like the half yard line and the play is
null and void and he ruined the whole moment. It's
simply one thing and one thing.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Only show voting.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
There's no other explanation other than yo, I burnt you,
I beat you, and like in the most arrogant, douchey way,
you're just like, I'm so apathetic. As I cross the
goal line, I'm just gonna drop the ball. Like there's
it's the biggest bumble fumble of the weekend. Other explanation
like in other sports, right, what are we saying? Baseball
(09:37):
when a guy doesn't run out of a ground ball
and then the guy bobbles it and he would have
been safe if he had busted out of the box,
Or you know when a guy doesn't get back on
defense in the NBA and you're like, she's just hot
dogging it and they got caught.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It was the weakest, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was one of the things that made me go,
hmmm this weekend, let's get into it, because I think
things that make you.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Go, things that make your goal.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
When you think of some of the bad things we
saw over the weekend, the Bills, the Yankees, Mark Sanchez,
Penn State, the Cardinals come to mind immediately. I think
it was the weakest play of them all because they
needed one more play to blow the game.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Out.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I think it was twenty one six in the fourth quarter.
They needed one more big score. That's your call of
the day. That was the play, and Amari Demcardo breaks
open seventy two yard run to hot dog get right
there and like Bridge said, after we see time and
time again, right we as the fan, no, like, don't
do that, don't make that mental stupid mistake. Get in
(10:42):
the end zone, then do your stupid dance. Drops the
ball right there at the half yard line, and that
was it, and they end up losing the game as
a result. That is pathetic. That is the biggest thing
that made me go more over the weekend. Someone's unfortunate,
no good that that was it, Alexander. I'm sorry, Amari
Democardo's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. It was
(11:05):
just the beginning of a series of like just remarkably
odd plays that went against the card. Again, they would
have been it would have been twenty eight to six
had they scored there, and they end up losing that game.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's pathetic.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
How about the video that's gone viral that I sent
you guy of his coach lighting him up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh yeah, well observingly so man, and then he did
say at the press conference it should never come down
to one play, and I mean, he really had his
back there, but it really was that one play that
unraveled everything. Dan Bayer and I would be in agreement
that we laugh at it, being that his Seahawks and
my Niners are in that division.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That was.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Do you remember last year I'm gonna reference last year.
Remember when the Bears lost on a hail Mary when
the secondary was cheering in the end zone before the
game was over. Yeah, oh yeah, and then after that
the wheels came off the Bears. We forget the Bears
are right there for the first quarter of the season
with the Lie and the Packers, and and then the
wheels fell off after that botched hail Mary. The Cardinals
(12:07):
win that game. Yesterday, they're three and two with the
Rams and Seahawks. The Niners are four and one and
they're playing Tampa this week, And as a Niners fan,
I can't be confident. The Bucks look really good. So
you're talking about your one game behind in the division.
The Niners play the Bucks, which you could argue that
the Bucks likely could win this game, so you could
(12:28):
be even in your division.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Now you're at the bottom of two and three.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I think this could be the moment where the Cardinals
are just because now you know who the Cardinals play
going forward. If you want to schedule watch a little bit,
you know, I love to look at the schedule.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Although Rich loves to look at the schedule. Game schedule watching, Yeah,
schedule watching the sub schedule, watch it. I love schedule watching,
sub schedule watch him.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think that's the new Mark and Lewis. I think
that's new Market and Lewis. They in Indianapolis at the
Colts and the Cults are four and one. The Coults
look good. So now you're two and four. Then you
play the Packers, you'd be two and five. Then you
play at the Cowboys, who show or have shown that
(13:14):
they're better than we thought, right, And then you play at.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The Seahawks that that game could have been.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
We're gonna look back and say the wheels fell off
with that game. That was a nightmare play and nightmare moment. Again,
they could have put the game away in the fourth quarter.
I think there was like twelve minutes left. It would
have been twenty eight to six the Titans. Then you
want to give props to the Titans go right ahead,
because then they had to do everything right moving forward
and they had to get in at least field goal range,
(13:40):
which they did with another great play, and they win
twenty two were you're forgetting, You're forgetting an interception that
was then dropped and bumbled around it, and they scored
sixteen points in the fourth. So props to the Titans.
But the Cardinals, as they say in baseball, Amari Demcardo,
pulled a major boner this weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They lost to the Tennessee ass. I mean, we're keeping
a book right now, we ass totally they lost to
the Tennessee ass Tennessee a cheeks.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The Cardinals had a third and seven and ran the
ball on third down, which they then punted it back
to Tennessee with like two minutes left. They're only up
by two. Like in that situation, let Kyler Murray do it.
Kyler Murray tries to do or make a play or
do something. Yeah, it was a whole, a whole comedy
(14:29):
of airs. And by the way, the Titans weren't even
perfect down the stretch. Remember they missed a extra point,
you know, like on the ensuing possession after the fumble.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But tbe who was on the call for the Eagles
TORONCOS game. Is that Tony Romo? Whoever it was, Oh,
it's Tony Romo, but he just looks different.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Now have you seen nobody?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, but actually I don't know who whoever was on
the call was saying. I think it was Romo might
have been saying, now like that different rich He was saying,
how Sean Payton dialed up a great play on third
down with a minute and a half left.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
He had bow Knicks rollout, had a couple looks.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
But then if those looks aren't there, then you try
to scramble because you don't want to. You don't want
to do The worst thing you could do in those
scenarios is meaninglessly run the ball on third and long
knowing you're not going to get the first down, or
the other worst thing to do is throw the ball
stop the clock for the other team. So they were saying, how,
how are more team like Sean Payton designed a play
where bow Knicks rolled out, looked, was had coverage, second
(15:28):
look covered, snuck for.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
A couple of yards. For now it's worked down.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's I'm shocked how that we're going to run it
three times and just sort of submit to this being
a a three downs and punt.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
That's just it's bad football, really bad football.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
And I was talking with Kerrie Rhodes, who I work
with on Sundays, and even just off there, I think
this is a secret conversation. It feels just like half
the coaches in the NFL can't coach. They can't like
there's like sixteen really good coaches, and maybe that's not
accurate number, but there's just way too many things that
are slipping through the cracks and situations that you think
(16:07):
that you should be able to come up with at
least something in those moments and you're just not seeing
it weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
And sometimes you get away with one and again they
won the game, so I'm happy. But if you want
to go back to Thursday, even do remember when the
Niners the forty nine ers caused that goal line fumble.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I remember they had the ball left, They had the
ball with like.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
A minute left. Kyle Shanahan just ran the ball up
the gut three times and punted. And I'm not saying
I know it's a little risky to throw at that
part of the field with mac Jroones your backup, but
they gave the Rams good field position, field goal tied,
the game went to overtime and luckily the Niners escape.
But you could argue he got the ball back when
a guy fumbled on the one yard line, one first down,
(16:50):
you win that game. Yeah, And even Kyle Shanahan, who
is a genius, sometimes makes them like oddly conservative, like
I just run up the gut three time, interesting coaching moves,
interesting plays, bonehead plays. And it was Tony Romo that
side story. My reference, if you don't know, is there's
a lot of speculation on social media about why does
(17:11):
he look so different? And I don't look. I'm not
here to make an opinion there. He does look different,
but maybe it's makeup. It's like it's getting older.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Who the hell knows.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
A couple of years ago, Alex Rodriguez, remember when he
got dark from the sun.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Romo is Mexican. Yeah, maybe he just got a sweet
tan I don't know, but something, something does exchange recognized.
People are saying, uh, he looks tanner in his face
is chubby. Whatever he can do, he doesn't play every day.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Don't change you know what. Yeah, it could be bad makeup,
who the hell knows?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Or maybe you remember back in the day where there
was the uh, the rumor that Avril Vine it wasn't
really her, she had she had passed away and there
was like a filling out. It makes me say, hmm no,
And I will say this, I don't wanna. I don't
want to pour assault in the wounds pun intended, because
there was a lot of them. But I think Mark
(18:03):
Sanchez drops in the Mexican quarterback rankings because it's probably
Tony Romo, Jeff Garcia and then Mark Sanchez. Now I
don't want to make let me say this very clearly,
I'm not making light of anything that happened to Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't know, or that dude over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But this story, like this is not the way Mark
Sanchez wanted people to forget about the butt fumble, because
it's like yo, that like like now there's another more terrible,
a real terrible story that follows this guy, like it
just a guy with a great career it has always
been nice to us, has an embarrassing story and a
horrible story that are now attached to him. It's it's
sort of unfortunate. This one's hard to recover fromhim and
(18:43):
we'll talk about him. Is there an escape plan for anything?
Is there a way he lands a job down the
road or something, or is it this is Yeah, there's
an escape plan. The video and the footage and everything
that's coming out as we speak makes it harder. The Yeah,
pictures of the sixty nine year old truck driver in
the host that doesn't help. But if it's something more
(19:03):
serious than just drinking, right, it could be. It could
be CTE. I don't want to overspeculate, but if it
was right, then yeah, I think that he has more
of a of a case to be forgiven. Yeah, well
we shall say again some sort of PT not for
us side, right, Yeah, no traumatic but fumble disorder. You know,
(19:24):
if there's something else involved, then I think there's a
chance years from now to.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Be forgiven.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
And it's also how it's handled, I think, by the
family of this poor guy. So so, yeah, lots went
down this weekend. Things that made you go, we'll take
your phone calls now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
I think the biggest one so far, Rich, besides the
questionable calls that you talked about, is the Samari the
Marcrado thing, Because you make this seventy two yard run.
We're watching it now on TV two. You can't cross
(19:58):
the end zone before you drop the ball, Like, how
do you not know that? And at this stage of
the game.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
By now, we've never seen this in back to back
NFL weeks where it changed a game. It just bothers
me because so much Mitchell last week that the Colts
could be five and oh potentially.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know what it feels like the NYG when you
have a professional baseball player and you can't lay down
a bunt and it's like, dude, you're a professional baseball
player and you struck out trying to lay down a
bunt or you pop one up laying Now you couldn't
do the basics. It's as simple as like, it's just
simple fundamentals and a mental error to just drop the
ball in that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Way, all into the frameworok framework of honestly just showing off.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, there's there's also just in you guys started the
show and talking about how there's no undefeateds. I don't
think anybody in the NF in the NFL is great.
So the saying of ball don't lie is sometimes it's overused,
but I think it's entirely accurate for what we saw
just this past weekend in the National Football League. What
team of the thirty two do you think is worthy
(21:00):
of being five and zero. Doesn't mean that they should
have won this game, or could have won that game,
or this could have been there. I just think the
league as a whole, it's very interesting. And if you're
the Cardinals, you could sit there and point to all
those things. But if you're mistaken making mistakes like this,
you probably should be two and three at that point.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
And you could argue that, Wow, New England, you know
New England is with all the new personnel, new coaching
and everything. Like I'm that break after Belichick and Brady
where they did stink it up for a little while.
Maybe we got to put that Patriots team in our
in the back of our mind too, because this new
Patriots team seems like a mid level team. This is
(21:37):
not a bottom feeding Patriots team anymore. No, they play hard,
not even close. They turned them all over five times
against the Steelers and lost by a touchdown, you know,
last night Buffalo. To answer your question, dB, you're saying,
how no one's really sticking out?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
The Bills are the one team where you're like, well,
you know, I mean Josh Allen and that there there.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
There's a pool that we're in at serious X and
the Cavino and I still take part in. It's like
five bucks a week and there's like a couple hundred
people and you have to do a four for four parlay.
And just to show you how hard a four for
four parlay is, sometimes one hundred people, no one hits
four for four, and the money carries over to the
next week. So do the math after two weeks, like
five hundred bucks on a five dollars entry and I
(22:19):
house three for three. No one else was going into
last night, I needed Buffalo minus eight and I was like, oh,
I'm looking good.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Nope, carries over one more week.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
So last night when you see Josh Allen, especially, they're
at home, they wearing those sweet ash uniforms. The crowd
is I uniform all matching. We're in there the white out.
They they look like they look like ass.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, like Blake buns. They did. They looked average. The
spirit of Pale Belichick is coming back to haunt the a.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
There were some wards showing at Buffalo over the last
couple of weeks. The record just kind of covered it
up when we saw him when went to the game
in week three, when it called in prior. You know,
against the Dolphins, they weren't perfect, but they they were
able to manage some stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And last night that wasn't the case. You know what,
We're gonna take all your feedback. Next I'm gonna throw
one more out there.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'll throw them a little bait hook line and sink
you guys observations things that made you go hm.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
We said it a couple.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Weeks ago, and my goodness, we weren't the only ones,
but could we have been more right? We said, the
Broncos and the Chargers have a real opportunity to really
separate themselves. When the Chiefs started out zho and two
and we were like, my goodness, the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The Chiefs were looking average.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
The Chiefs were looking average, jump out, jump out, And
after they win tonight against the Jags, which I think
will happen, the Chiefs will be tied for first place
after five weeks. And we thought they had an uphill battle.
What happened to John? I'm sorry, Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert,
the little sideline kisses from Madison Beer aren't working because
(23:53):
they would work for me, did you do you?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I mean their line has been in chatters, but you
got to rise above it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I mean, like on their schedule, you thought the Commanders
would be a tough game, but that was in la
I don't think you thought you'd go to the Meadowlands
and lose to the Giants last week.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And they just got by Denver the week before.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So we thought the Chargers, remember, like weeks one and two,
which is why we say you can't ever judge too early.
After the first two weeks, Danny, we were all putting
the charges in the Bustleow, what did I say about
the Chiefs. I'm like, I hear this every year on
almost every show on TV and radio. Oh the Chiefs,
the chief and what always happens. They always rally in
(24:31):
the second half of the season.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Always.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
We always say, give it at least six weeks to
make an assessment. So we make an assessment from yesterday.
We do it every Monday. We call it things that
made you go Hm. We get to your feedback next
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Hey, welcome

Friday live on the Fox Sports Radio Studios at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Danny G's on standby waiting
just to say hi, I told you, uh, this is
big news of my world. I think I'm losing my
kids to the Dodgers. I told you this the other day.
(25:55):
We're timing. Man, look at the team you're competing with,
the dark Side. Yeah, you know, I'm a Mets fan.
I'll never change, but I feel like I can't force
my kids. They're like, Dad, we like the Mets, but
is it cool if we like the Dodgers too?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Because all their little school friends like the Dodgers. They
are surrounded by it, they Dodger fandom.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
And I was saying, this is a big one. Over
the weekend, my daughter said, Dad, can you change my
walk up music? As all the little kids have walk
up music for softball and baseball. She comes up to
Michael Boublay the Otani Oh boy, the song. Yeah, dude,
it's it makes me uh right here, I use a
(26:34):
little ballpark DJ.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Here we go, here, we go good. And it's fitting
because she also pitched recently.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, man, it hurt my harp and I'm like, all right, buddy,
I get it's the best.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So you guys know, I'm a big George. Michael Fanny
is my favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
His version of feeling Good was the song that we
walked to after we said I do so as we're
walking down the aisle. You know that's what beautiful man? Yes,
right and right at that point. So it can be
a walk down the aisle or a walk up music
if you'd like.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is that why you call your show the I Want
Your Flex Podcast? Absolutely? Yeah, that's good cross promotion. Yeah, dB,
So he doesn't care about you. He just looked that up.
That just when I lost faith. Oh no, Dan, you
know I look at you as a father figure. So
thank you for I appreciate Taylor swift new album.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yes, and dB is here, Danny G is here, Sam's her.
Thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation for being here every Monday.
Things that make you go hmm, we get you involved,
like hmm, what made me say hmm? Are we talking
enough about Indiana Jones? Are we talking enough about him?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Danny G.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
When you're watching your Raiders get stomped by the Cult, seriously,
what are your thoughts there? Because you have all these
hopes with Gino Smith, you're seeing what happens with Daniel
Jones forty to six.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
What were your thoughts watching that? It's just been a
weird season so far. Rich mentioned how the Patriots aren't
the Patriots we know from the past few seasons. Yeah,
Raiders look good against him. In week one, Gino Smith
came out with a bang, and then he turned into
a pumpkin and has been throwing all these picks. He
through his ninth interception, and it's weird the Raiders seem
and Dan byron I said after Game one, it looked
(28:23):
like Carol and his staff made some really good coaching
adjustments at halftime of that first game, and ever since,
it looks like Pete Carroll and company have been out coached.
Their special teams is horrendous, which is weird. They've always
had a great punter and kicker and have been good
on coverage, and this season, for whatever reason, they can't punt,
they can't kick field goals, they can't cover the other
(28:45):
team when they're kicking to them.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
So it's I don't know, dude, it's been so weird.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Well it's kind of ironic because I feel like Gino
Smith is the face, like the modern day face of
written off and then redeemed himself, came back, got second
life and now now back to now.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Back to the reality bus. Yeah, it's so strange.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And Daniel Jones is that guy now and well, you know,
two hundred and twelve yards two touchdowns, The guy looks impressive.
Indiana Doctor Jones is going to be rooting for tonight
o Patrick Mahomes because if they beat Jacksonville, sitting alone
in first place in the AFC South Indianapolis and the
added a wild year right they lost their owner. Who's
(29:27):
running the team is you know wildly since we lost
Jim Mayor say, just a very interesting and think about
where we started with Indianapolis. So I'm great brought them up,
could you know? Because remember it was Anthony Richardson and
it was like who wha well, hold on, Daniel Jones is.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Competing with him?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And then when they said open quarterback battle, let's be
honest the don't we all think at first.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like you have to say that?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, and now you were hearing the favoritism Daniel Jones,
So it's for real because you know, we forget that
NFL teams want to win. They they want to win
at all costs. So there's no well, we're gonna go
with Richardson, regardless he had no big contract yet. So
it was interesting to see, Wow, Daniel Jones won the battle.
Richardson doesn't seem like he's the guy. And now Richardson,
(30:11):
I'm not saying rooting against this team, but you don't
think subconsciously he's like, damn, why is Daniel Jones rolling
Yo and in the battle of written off quarterbacks, Gino Smith,
Daniel Jones, you saw the Buccaneers and Seahawks going at it,
and that was a game that made me say, hmm,
really good game. That was a really great game. And
(30:32):
Baker Mayfield again separating himself, I think, from the pack
of quarterbacks that were sort of written off, or as
they say, he wasn't written off.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
He was just playing for the Browns.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
But again he then somebody bounced around and he's playing big,
three hundred and seventy nine yards, two tuddies and a
really great win over the Seahawks four and one, just
battling and grinding every game. How could you not like
why at least watching the Buccaneers play well, Dan Buyer,
your Seahawks fell just short. And I said before, I
(31:05):
don't feel comfortable as a Niners fan playing the Bucks
next week. They they could secretly be a top two
or three NFC team right.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Now, considering they played yesterday without Bucky Irving and Mike Evans. Yes,
I know the Seahawks a defense missing some pieces as well,
but Donald up until the last interception, was just as
good as Baker Mayfield. But to have the cross country
trip that Tampa had to not have Evans, to not
have Irving, and to be able to do what they did. Yeah,
sitting there at four and one in a division that
(31:34):
honestly already feels wrapped up like in the NFC, suald
like the Buccaneers are going to be there.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
He is your leading MVP candidate right now.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Remember two quarterbacks that played together on the same team,
Sam Donald and Baker in the Carolina both have a
chip on their shoulder a little bit, or as Colin says,
Mayfield has that good chip on his shoulder. You know,
it's a good ship. And to see them battle in
that way and both put up big numbers and both
looked good, it was really cool to see. So, you know,
(32:03):
just some observations we're making and then we open it
up to you eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox things.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That make you go hmm. But first and first and
mostly we got to talk to our guy dB. Let's
get it up date my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
We forget Cleveland made the playoffs with Baker, but then
they wanted to go in a different direction and kind
of forced him out, moved him to Carolina where Sam
Darnold already was, and that's how they were teammates, and
then the Mayfield experiment didn't work, and funny how everything
sorts out. Bengals have a unique quarterback situation right now
because Joe Burrow's injured and Jake Browning's just turning the
ball over today. Had coach Zach Taylor was asked if
(32:37):
Browning's going to remain the starter for Week six against
the Packers.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
You see Jake starting on Sunday, We'll see where it goes.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
You know, it's I think I got all personnel decisions.
We got to evaluate it. Jake's been very accountable for
how the game went for him. I've got to be
accountable for how the game went for me as well,
and so we'll continue to progress here through the days.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Not necessarily a vote of confidence.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
In other NFL news, the Chargers are placing running back
of mar And Hampton on injured reserve because of the
injured ankle suffered in yesterday's loss to the Commanders. Colts
kicker Spencer Schrader done for the year with a torn
ligament torn ligaments in his knees suffered in yesterday's win
over Danny's Raiders. Patriots running back Antonio Gibson done for
the year with a torn ACL Lions got the win
(33:17):
against the Bengals, but they lost Cornertarry and Arnold for
a while. Head coach Dan Campbell said it'll be a
long time before Arnold returns from a shoulder injury. Tonight,
Chiefs and Jaguars eight fifteen Eastern Time Baseball. Top of
the Hour, Dodgers and Phillies. No Harrison Bader in the
lineup for the Phillies. He's out because of his growing injury.
Comes in Brewers nine Eastern Jackson Turio batting leadoff for Milwaukee,
(33:37):
playing left field as they're up one zero and the
best of five matchup.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Guys, back to you, thankste B.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
And as far as things that make you go hmm,
I love the meme that's like, well, well, well, let's
look at the AFC North Burrow, Floco Lamar, all under
five hundred and injured, and look who's just sitting there
three and one in a bye week with his feet up,
dominating that division. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. Yeah, that's
(34:03):
a story that we would not have predicted. And uh,
as we said, there's no undefeated teams, there's only one
winless team and is what does your mom always say, Steve?
And it all comes out in the wash, like do
the Jets just permanently stink? The only oh to five
team in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Would did Justin Field say something about? Oh what did
he say? He got a lot of criticism for it.
You know what, think about it? I find out what
it is.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
We' still buying into hope, like oh oh, they're like,
no team has ever made the playoffs starting you know,
oh and five or whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
He goes, well, there's the first time for everything like that. Yeah,
maybe not. And we landed on the moon.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hey, we got more Kvine on a rich next right
here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, Sam dB
said before he's a big George Michaels fan. I thought
he meant the George Michael Sports machine, but he actually meant,
you know, George Michael of Wham. And this is by
far my favorite song. It's such a great song, Freedom
(34:59):
ninety four with.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
All the hot models. Yea, yeah, bro, great video too. BB.
Is this a fair one to say it's like just
a universally awesome song. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I think this is the one that people will point to,
like I think we mentioned Faith earlier. I think Faith
is the worst song on the Faith album, but people
it's more popular.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, however, however, Biscuit version better.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
However, have you seen Dan Byron some tight nim Oh yeah,
oh yeah, you're shaking his.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Booby my leather jacket as well.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, dB is hanging out. He's your grand
champion when it comes to last one standing.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Not today, I'm bringing it today. I'm bringing it today.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
You know, I'm trying to work on it because when
it comes to process of elimination, just have a mental roadblock.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Man. It's tough, but that's what makes it fun. It's
a battle.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
And we play for some prizes later today, so stick
around for that. But right now, like we always do
on this Monday, we're live from Fox Sports Radio Studio,
it's time for a Tiract Play of the day. The
Patriots took out the NFL's last unbeaten team.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
They asked me.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Staffed at Barringer, This wing of the right leg by
Bora gallis the kicks sailor to the up Riots.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
HiT's good and the Patriots half the lead. With fifteen
seconds to go, the rookie.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Delivers aurora Bora Gallis with the fifty two yard Is
that a constellation?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Actually his names Andy might be the Northern Nights, Yeah yeah,
and Andy and h Yeah, Aurora, same thing. That's courtesy
of ninety eighty five the Sports Hub and the Patriots
Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's our tire rack play of the day. Is that tonight?
Is it tonight like a super moon or something? So
it's the harvest moon something like that solar storm?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Courtesy of ninety eight point five the Sports Hub Patriots
Radio Network tire Racks Play of the Day. For over
forty years, our good friends at Tyraq, they've been helping
customers find the right tires for howware and what they drive,
ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection, convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rag dot com,
the way tire buying should be. You know, we were
just glazing, as the kids say, Baker Mayfield off the
(36:59):
air Rich, wondering if we give him enough credit. I'm like,
on this show, we do, but is the rest of
the world doing that? And you got to give him props?
Three hundred and seventy nine yards two touchdowns the Buccaneers
over the Seahawks again a battle of the ritten the
written off quarterback sessions.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
It's it's not crazy to say he's an MVP candidate.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Well, the point we're going to make here right now,
real quick. Things that make you go hmmm, is when
are we going to start putting Mayfield in that conversation
of of top quarterbacks in the league, Like what more
does the guy have to do? Is it is previous
reputation that's holding him back because he's doing everything right
and it has to be applauded. It's impressed a lot
(37:39):
of times when your reputation. Unfortunately, as they say, precede you, yeah,
going to give you one, you know, rude one and
one like funny one. The root one would be of
Unfortunately this is it's sexist and not right of guys
to think. But if a woman has been around quite
a bit, who it's hard to shake that reputation when
(38:00):
she was like a party girl and like she could
be a great woman, but in college, you know what
she used to do it and sometimes it's hard.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
You're about to see that storyline on Love is Blind
by the way, Oh I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
So jam Keane's mom would call her a Jezebel, So
I to me, it's sort of like that and my
dumb analogy. I was gonna tell you when we were kids,
it was so hard for me to acknowledge that Brett
the Hitman Heart was like a champion because in my
mind he was part of like a weak ass tag team.
I'm like, I say, like, you mean Brett Hart and
Jim the Annville. You're convinced me that the guy that
was on the mediocre tag team is now like the
(38:33):
guy for wrestling, like Brett the Hitman Heart.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Like to me, it's like, no, he's like a tag
team guy with the goate guy Jim the Annville. He's
not a champion.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
That's why I think he's more relatable and fun to
root for, because I think everybody faces that at one point.
I can't tell you how many people still think of
me as the van driver for k Rock New York.
I haven't driven the van since nineteen ninety nine, but
in the end, until you branched out and did something else,
everyone there would think of was, oh, could you know
the guy that promotionally drives the van, the k Rock van,
(39:03):
or you mean the national radio host for Fox Sports Radio,
like give me a break. But that's how people remember
you sometimes, how you started. I think people think of
Baker as the he was. He had a fork in
the road and he could have went down a Johnny
Manziel path, which it looked like he was going, and
he did the exact but because the Browns stinks so much,
(39:24):
we forget that he's the only guy that's brought them
any glimmer of glory. He won playoff games, he was
but then they decided, oh, we're going to go with
the Shawn Watson and it was really unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
So is he elite that makes it go? I'm a
big Baker fan.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I think most people are now right, we got more
CNR coming up here on Fox Sports Radio.
Hey, thanks for listening to the Coveno and Rich podcast.

pack week of October Baseball football Shenanigan is.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Fun fishball all here on Coveno.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
The by the way, is Jalen Hurt's wearing a chef's
hat at the press conference?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
What is that? I gotta put my glasses on? What
the hell is that?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
No? He lost, so it was like a bet, like
you lose against the Broncos, you gotta wear this funny
ass hat.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That is the weakest thing. How did I miss that tear?
I know it makes me go hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And, as we do every Monday, your observations from this
weekend in the world of football life, whatever we get
you involved at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
or broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Video Studio again
Steve Cabino, Rich Davis, Danny g Sam Spotty dB and
you let's right out now do it? I could have
(01:09):
looked this up, but I forgot. Is this the earliest
in a long time there hasn't been an undefeated team
in the NFL through five weeks. I feel like every
year that's at least one five and oh team like
four and one's your best record shared by a handful
of teams. But both undefeated teams picked up an L.
They took an L yesterday, Eagles and Bills last night.
(01:30):
So you're looking at a league of parody. And no
one's that great, no one's unbeatable. But I feel like
there's always one team that, maybe even just based on
strength of schedule, makes it at least five or six
weeks undefeated.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yes, right, I mean real four to five week predicted.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The Ravens being booed, right, But I hope you had
a Texans, Saints, Broncos, Buccaneers, Pats sort of weekend, not
in Arizona, Cardinals, New York Yankees sort.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Of weekend, and I could throw Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I was gonna try to avoid that, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But I do.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What a story that was over the weekend. You know
what's a better story, Taylor Swifts new album or that
Mark Sanchez story, the Mark Sanchez story. You know, it's
all sensitive and terrible, Like, no, there was a stabbing.
Lives are almost lost. The pictures of the other guy
are gruesome, Danny, you and I were saying, it's just
it was a.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
A range of emotions.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
At first, it's like, oh my god, you thought someone
probably just f with Mark Sanchez because maybe he's wearing
a nice watch or he's a celebrity. And then you're like,
oh my god, I hope he lives. Oh my god,
thank god. It went from prayers for Mark Sanchez, which
people still have to.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He was the aggressive Wait a minute, he was the guy.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What exactly? Yeah, very weird developments. There's videos coming out
as we speak. Terrible, terrible story. We'll touch on that
a little bit, but not too much. Plus will play
some games called Last One Standing. We do it every Monday.
We give away prizes. Lebron's in the news and by
the way, we won't touch on it because we choose
not to. I have people hit me up being like
you guys were for Fox Sports. Did they tell you
(03:01):
not to talk about it? No one tells us. Honestly,
no one has ever told us don't talk about blank, Well,
it means in your own head, but I don't know
all the details. Mark Sanchez has always been nice to us.
Who knows what the real false story is?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So what the hell are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
It makes me go hmmm, for sure, no doubt, And
that's where we start to show. But again, hope you
had a great weekend. Spooky season is here. I'm busting
out jeans for the first time of the season. So
it's that time of year guys out here in California. Oh,
I hope you had a nice one. Hope you have
a great fall at Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty always has
(03:37):
a great fall. Hey, Sam, are you invest in this fall?
Are you gonna rock a vest like Martin McFly, because
that's the look.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I absolutely will. But didn't Humpty Dumpty fall and crack
his eggshell? No, dude.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He walked around the foliage, he got a pumpkin spice latte,
he went apple picking. Yeah, he had a hell of
a fall. He had a great fall. That's pro visionist
history here. Yeah, I mean the Humpty Dumpty great fall.
Max Freed not sorry, Aaron Judge debatable. I don't know
he's got to come up in the big moments. But
in the world of foosball, lots of surprises and it
(04:08):
doesn't have to be just football. Could be UFC three twenty,
it could be the smashing machine at the box office.
It only made six million this weekend, so a while
you go. Meanwhile, thirty three million dollars worth of people
watching Taylor Swift discuss her album.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So that's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But I do want to start with your Yankees real
quick before you dive into all the football.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah. One, a guy like Max Freed, who's.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Been arguably a top three pitcher in baseball all years.
You have the motion he's in that conversation when you
say who dominated you know, schoo ball and schemes and
Freed those to me, Zach Wheeler got hurt, Crochet, Crochet.
It's really unfortunate when your team makes the postseason and
(04:54):
the guy that really put the team on his back
anytime you needed a guy to stop the losing, stopped
the bleeding, as they say. I think he was eleven
and one after a Yankees loss. So if ever there
was a time, yeah, now eleven and two, if you
kept the postseason, if there was ever a time to
stop the bleeding and get to win. It was the
game two yesterday. And what's disheartening about that, and any
(05:15):
sports fan could relate, is you wait all year for
these moments only to watch your team fizzle like that.
It's the worst, So it must win tomorrow. Basically, if
you don't know what we're talking about, the Yankees got
schlid on yesterday, a little taste of their own medicine.
A rookie for the Blue Jays came out, shut him down,
and shut it down. Now the Blue Jay's just teeing
(05:35):
off on Max Freed, So you have to admit if
you were not a Yankees fan.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
By the way, that's a player's name, to be clear.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, Kem Slittler is the Yankees saving grace. The rookie
star that came through, well, guess what Blue Jays was it?
Ya Savage? Yesovich, He was savage yesterday against the Yankees.
Came through and dominated with eleven strikeouts of his own.
So Yankees got shut down. They look like ass. They
(06:01):
might be ass and it was not fun to watch.
One last Yankee thought, unless you're a Blue jaysan One
less Yankee though, before we get into football. More people's
heads in the football game right now. But if you
are at a Yankees fan, could you at least admit how
electric that crowd in Toronto looked when Vladdie Junior hit
that grand Salami. It was the most predictable grand salami
(06:23):
that ever was. Meaning like, you're like, they get a
groove of one. Arn had no choice but the groove
one down there, Laddie's sitting there tease off on it,
and it was just so obvious. In fact, there's a
funny viral clip of John Boy totally predicting it, and
I felt the same way watching it. I'm like, here
it is, this is a grand slam coming grooves one bam.
Game over sucked, Will Warren, he's cheeks, he's straight buns.
(06:45):
As the kids say in these moments, again, you gotta
step up. So a week weekend for this guy, especially
since I was driving my daughter around like her personal
chauffeur trying to find sweet sixteen dresses.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh yeah, no, No, that's a good day the sports.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's a special But at the same time, I do
want to just sit back and relax a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
But I hope your weekend was good. I hope it
was better than the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Hope it was better than Will Warren's and Max Frez
and Hey, national games tonight, National League fans, Tonight, your night,
Danny g You're gonna go off two to zero in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
In just about an hour. First pitch, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
See if you don't name this what we were talking,
He's like, he named all three series and he forgot
Milwaukee versus the Cubs, and he goes, no, no one cares, no,
it's it's not that I was just speaking from the heart,
meaning I was thinking that the Dodgers Philly series was
the more exciting one to talk about. Good save would
just insult everybody else. Cubs, you know, that's an exciting
(07:47):
one too. So we'll enjoy some games tonight and some
Monday Night football. But like we always do, can you
not want to ignore the sixth spot the Brewers put
up in the first inning the other day in Game one?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He just think, you know, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It was like two years ago when the Rams beat
the Seahawks in Week one and Cavino came in, He's like, oh,
he had.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
A forty hours. It was right.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
There was a Rams weekend John Ramos is whooping it up,
and I'm like, screw you.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I remember that now that you bring it up. Yeah,
he holds onto these things. Man never like cho Yeah
he does. They always say that a buyer never forgets, right,
that is true.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're so fun heard that, So you know, I hope
your weekend was better than the Yankees weekend. I hope
your weekend was better than Mark sanchez Is weekend, and
how about better than Amari Demarcado. Why does this happen
multiple times a year? We talk about it every year,
so I don't want to repeat something we said maybe
(08:41):
six months a year, two years ago, three years ago,
every freaking year, this time this year, right, there's got
to be an explanation, and my explanation. I remember we
even posted a video about this on our Instagram Patrick
a year ago. Because it's happened, and my take hasn't changed.
When a guy goes for a pick six or bust
open a big run or catches a slant and he's
(09:03):
going to the house, when the guy drops the ball
at like the half yard line and the play is
null and void and he ruined the whole moment. It's
simply one thing and one thing.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Only show voting.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
There's no other explanation other than yo, I burnt you,
I beat you, and like in the most arrogant, douchey way,
you're just like, I'm so apathetic. As I cross the
goal line, I'm just gonna drop the ball. Like there's
it's the biggest bumble fumble of the weekend. Other explanation
like in other sports, right, what are we saying? Baseball
(09:37):
when a guy doesn't run out of a ground ball
and then the guy bobbles it and he would have
been safe if he had busted out of the box,
Or you know when a guy doesn't get back on
defense in the NBA and you're like, she's just hot
dogging it and they got caught.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It was the weakest, you know what.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was one of the things that made me go,
hmmm this weekend, let's get into it, because I think
things that make you.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Go, things that make your goal.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
When you think of some of the bad things we
saw over the weekend, the Bills, the Yankees, Mark Sanchez,
Penn State, the Cardinals come to mind immediately. I think
it was the weakest play of them all because they
needed one more play to blow the game.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Out.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I think it was twenty one six in the fourth quarter.
They needed one more big score. That's your call of
the day. That was the play, and Amari Demcardo breaks
open seventy two yard run to hot dog get right
there and like Bridge said, after we see time and
time again, right we as the fan, no, like, don't
do that, don't make that mental stupid mistake. Get in
(10:42):
the end zone, then do your stupid dance. Drops the
ball right there at the half yard line, and that
was it, and they end up losing the game as
a result. That is pathetic. That is the biggest thing
that made me go more over the weekend. Someone's unfortunate,
no good that that was it, Alexander. I'm sorry, Amari
Democardo's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. It was
(11:05):
just the beginning of a series of like just remarkably
odd plays that went against the card. Again, they would
have been it would have been twenty eight to six
had they scored there, and they end up losing that game.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's pathetic.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
How about the video that's gone viral that I sent
you guy of his coach lighting him up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh yeah, well observingly so man, and then he did
say at the press conference it should never come down
to one play, and I mean, he really had his
back there, but it really was that one play that
unraveled everything. Dan Bayer and I would be in agreement
that we laugh at it, being that his Seahawks and
my Niners are in that division.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That was.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Do you remember last year I'm gonna reference last year.
Remember when the Bears lost on a hail Mary when
the secondary was cheering in the end zone before the
game was over. Yeah, oh yeah, and then after that
the wheels came off the Bears. We forget the Bears
are right there for the first quarter of the season
with the Lie and the Packers, and and then the
wheels fell off after that botched hail Mary. The Cardinals
(12:07):
win that game. Yesterday, they're three and two with the
Rams and Seahawks. The Niners are four and one and
they're playing Tampa this week, And as a Niners fan,
I can't be confident. The Bucks look really good. So
you're talking about your one game behind in the division.
The Niners play the Bucks, which you could argue that
the Bucks likely could win this game, so you could
(12:28):
be even in your division.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Now you're at the bottom of two and three.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I think this could be the moment where the Cardinals
are just because now you know who the Cardinals play
going forward. If you want to schedule watch a little bit,
you know, I love to look at the schedule.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Although Rich loves to look at the schedule. Game schedule watching, Yeah,
schedule watching the sub schedule, watch it. I love schedule watching,
sub schedule watch him.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think that's the new Mark and Lewis. I think
that's new Market and Lewis. They in Indianapolis at the
Colts and the Cults are four and one. The Coults
look good. So now you're two and four. Then you
play the Packers, you'd be two and five. Then you
play at the Cowboys, who show or have shown that
(13:14):
they're better than we thought, right, And then you play at.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The Seahawks that that game could have been.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
We're gonna look back and say the wheels fell off
with that game. That was a nightmare play and nightmare moment. Again,
they could have put the game away in the fourth quarter.
I think there was like twelve minutes left. It would
have been twenty eight to six the Titans. Then you
want to give props to the Titans go right ahead,
because then they had to do everything right moving forward
and they had to get in at least field goal range,
(13:40):
which they did with another great play, and they win
twenty two were you're forgetting, You're forgetting an interception that
was then dropped and bumbled around it, and they scored
sixteen points in the fourth. So props to the Titans.
But the Cardinals, as they say in baseball, Amari Demcardo,
pulled a major boner this weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They lost to the Tennessee ass. I mean, we're keeping
a book right now, we ass totally they lost to
the Tennessee ass Tennessee a cheeks.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The Cardinals had a third and seven and ran the
ball on third down, which they then punted it back
to Tennessee with like two minutes left. They're only up
by two. Like in that situation, let Kyler Murray do it.
Kyler Murray tries to do or make a play or
do something. Yeah, it was a whole, a whole comedy
(14:29):
of airs. And by the way, the Titans weren't even
perfect down the stretch. Remember they missed a extra point,
you know, like on the ensuing possession after the fumble.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But tbe who was on the call for the Eagles
TORONCOS game. Is that Tony Romo? Whoever it was, Oh,
it's Tony Romo, but he just looks different.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Now have you seen nobody?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, but actually I don't know who whoever was on
the call was saying. I think it was Romo might
have been saying, now like that different rich He was saying,
how Sean Payton dialed up a great play on third
down with a minute and a half left.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
He had bow Knicks rollout, had a couple looks.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
But then if those looks aren't there, then you try
to scramble because you don't want to. You don't want
to do The worst thing you could do in those
scenarios is meaninglessly run the ball on third and long
knowing you're not going to get the first down, or
the other worst thing to do is throw the ball
stop the clock for the other team. So they were saying, how,
how are more team like Sean Payton designed a play
where bow Knicks rolled out, looked, was had coverage, second
(15:28):
look covered, snuck for.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
A couple of yards. For now it's worked down.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's I'm shocked how that we're going to run it
three times and just sort of submit to this being
a a three downs and punt.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
That's just it's bad football, really bad football.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
And I was talking with Kerrie Rhodes, who I work
with on Sundays, and even just off there, I think
this is a secret conversation. It feels just like half
the coaches in the NFL can't coach. They can't like
there's like sixteen really good coaches, and maybe that's not
accurate number, but there's just way too many things that
are slipping through the cracks and situations that you think
(16:07):
that you should be able to come up with at
least something in those moments and you're just not seeing
it weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
And sometimes you get away with one and again they
won the game, so I'm happy. But if you want
to go back to Thursday, even do remember when the
Niners the forty nine ers caused that goal line fumble.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I remember they had the ball left, They had the
ball with like.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
A minute left. Kyle Shanahan just ran the ball up
the gut three times and punted. And I'm not saying
I know it's a little risky to throw at that
part of the field with mac Jroones your backup, but
they gave the Rams good field position, field goal tied,
the game went to overtime and luckily the Niners escape.
But you could argue he got the ball back when
a guy fumbled on the one yard line, one first down,
(16:50):
you win that game. Yeah, And even Kyle Shanahan, who
is a genius, sometimes makes them like oddly conservative, like
I just run up the gut three time, interesting coaching moves,
interesting plays, bonehead plays. And it was Tony Romo that
side story. My reference, if you don't know, is there's
a lot of speculation on social media about why does
(17:11):
he look so different? And I don't look. I'm not
here to make an opinion there. He does look different,
but maybe it's makeup. It's like it's getting older.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Who the hell knows.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
A couple of years ago, Alex Rodriguez, remember when he
got dark from the sun.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Romo is Mexican. Yeah, maybe he just got a sweet
tan I don't know, but something, something does exchange recognized.
People are saying, uh, he looks tanner in his face
is chubby. Whatever he can do, he doesn't play every day.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Don't change you know what. Yeah, it could be bad makeup,
who the hell knows?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Or maybe you remember back in the day where there
was the uh, the rumor that Avril Vine it wasn't
really her, she had she had passed away and there
was like a filling out. It makes me say, hmm no,
And I will say this, I don't wanna. I don't
want to pour assault in the wounds pun intended, because
there was a lot of them. But I think Mark
(18:03):
Sanchez drops in the Mexican quarterback rankings because it's probably
Tony Romo, Jeff Garcia and then Mark Sanchez. Now I
don't want to make let me say this very clearly,
I'm not making light of anything that happened to Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't know, or that dude over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But this story, like this is not the way Mark
Sanchez wanted people to forget about the butt fumble, because
it's like yo, that like like now there's another more terrible,
a real terrible story that follows this guy, like it
just a guy with a great career it has always
been nice to us, has an embarrassing story and a
horrible story that are now attached to him. It's it's
sort of unfortunate. This one's hard to recover fromhim and
(18:43):
we'll talk about him. Is there an escape plan for anything?
Is there a way he lands a job down the
road or something, or is it this is Yeah, there's
an escape plan. The video and the footage and everything
that's coming out as we speak makes it harder. The Yeah,
pictures of the sixty nine year old truck driver in
the host that doesn't help. But if it's something more
(19:03):
serious than just drinking, right, it could be. It could
be CTE. I don't want to overspeculate, but if it
was right, then yeah, I think that he has more
of a of a case to be forgiven. Yeah, well
we shall say again some sort of PT not for
us side, right, Yeah, no traumatic but fumble disorder. You know,
(19:24):
if there's something else involved, then I think there's a
chance years from now to.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Be forgiven.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
And it's also how it's handled, I think, by the
family of this poor guy. So so, yeah, lots went
down this weekend. Things that made you go, we'll take
your phone calls now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
I think the biggest one so far, Rich, besides the
questionable calls that you talked about, is the Samari the
Marcrado thing, Because you make this seventy two yard run.
We're watching it now on TV two. You can't cross
(19:58):
the end zone before you drop the ball, Like, how
do you not know that? And at this stage of
the game.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
By now, we've never seen this in back to back
NFL weeks where it changed a game. It just bothers
me because so much Mitchell last week that the Colts
could be five and oh potentially.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know what it feels like the NYG when you
have a professional baseball player and you can't lay down
a bunt and it's like, dude, you're a professional baseball
player and you struck out trying to lay down a
bunt or you pop one up laying Now you couldn't
do the basics. It's as simple as like, it's just
simple fundamentals and a mental error to just drop the
ball in that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Way, all into the frameworok framework of honestly just showing off.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, there's there's also just in you guys started the
show and talking about how there's no undefeateds. I don't
think anybody in the NF in the NFL is great.
So the saying of ball don't lie is sometimes it's overused,
but I think it's entirely accurate for what we saw
just this past weekend in the National Football League. What
team of the thirty two do you think is worthy
(21:00):
of being five and zero. Doesn't mean that they should
have won this game, or could have won that game,
or this could have been there. I just think the
league as a whole, it's very interesting. And if you're
the Cardinals, you could sit there and point to all
those things. But if you're mistaken making mistakes like this,
you probably should be two and three at that point.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
And you could argue that, Wow, New England, you know
New England is with all the new personnel, new coaching
and everything. Like I'm that break after Belichick and Brady
where they did stink it up for a little while.
Maybe we got to put that Patriots team in our
in the back of our mind too, because this new
Patriots team seems like a mid level team. This is
(21:37):
not a bottom feeding Patriots team anymore. No, they play hard,
not even close. They turned them all over five times
against the Steelers and lost by a touchdown, you know,
last night Buffalo. To answer your question, dB, you're saying,
how no one's really sticking out?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
The Bills are the one team where you're like, well,
you know, I mean Josh Allen and that there there.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
There's a pool that we're in at serious X and
the Cavino and I still take part in. It's like
five bucks a week and there's like a couple hundred
people and you have to do a four for four parlay.
And just to show you how hard a four for
four parlay is, sometimes one hundred people, no one hits
four for four, and the money carries over to the
next week. So do the math after two weeks, like
five hundred bucks on a five dollars entry and I
(22:19):
house three for three. No one else was going into
last night, I needed Buffalo minus eight and I was like, oh,
I'm looking good.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Nope, carries over one more week.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
So last night when you see Josh Allen, especially, they're
at home, they wearing those sweet ash uniforms. The crowd
is I uniform all matching. We're in there the white out.
They they look like they look like ass.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, like Blake buns. They did. They looked average. The
spirit of Pale Belichick is coming back to haunt the a.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
There were some wards showing at Buffalo over the last
couple of weeks. The record just kind of covered it
up when we saw him when went to the game
in week three, when it called in prior. You know,
against the Dolphins, they weren't perfect, but they they were
able to manage some stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And last night that wasn't the case. You know what,
We're gonna take all your feedback. Next I'm gonna throw
one more out there.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'll throw them a little bait hook line and sink
you guys observations things that made you go hm.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
We said it a couple.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Weeks ago, and my goodness, we weren't the only ones,
but could we have been more right? We said, the
Broncos and the Chargers have a real opportunity to really
separate themselves. When the Chiefs started out zho and two
and we were like, my goodness, the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The Chiefs were looking average.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
The Chiefs were looking average, jump out, jump out, And
after they win tonight against the Jags, which I think
will happen, the Chiefs will be tied for first place
after five weeks. And we thought they had an uphill battle.
What happened to John? I'm sorry, Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert,
the little sideline kisses from Madison Beer aren't working because
(23:53):
they would work for me, did you do you?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I mean their line has been in chatters, but you
got to rise above it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I mean, like on their schedule, you thought the Commanders
would be a tough game, but that was in la
I don't think you thought you'd go to the Meadowlands
and lose to the Giants last week.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And they just got by Denver the week before.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So we thought the Chargers, remember, like weeks one and two,
which is why we say you can't ever judge too early.
After the first two weeks, Danny, we were all putting
the charges in the Bustleow, what did I say about
the Chiefs. I'm like, I hear this every year on
almost every show on TV and radio. Oh the Chiefs,
the chief and what always happens. They always rally in
(24:31):
the second half of the season.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Always.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
We always say, give it at least six weeks to
make an assessment. So we make an assessment from yesterday.
We do it every Monday. We call it things that
made you go Hm. We get to your feedback next
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Hey, welcome

Friday live on the Fox Sports Radio Studios at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Danny G's on standby waiting
just to say hi, I told you, uh, this is
big news of my world. I think I'm losing my
kids to the Dodgers. I told you this the other day.
(25:55):
We're timing. Man, look at the team you're competing with,
the dark Side. Yeah, you know, I'm a Mets fan.
I'll never change, but I feel like I can't force
my kids. They're like, Dad, we like the Mets, but
is it cool if we like the Dodgers too?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Because all their little school friends like the Dodgers. They
are surrounded by it, they Dodger fandom.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
And I was saying, this is a big one. Over
the weekend, my daughter said, Dad, can you change my
walk up music? As all the little kids have walk
up music for softball and baseball. She comes up to
Michael Boublay the Otani Oh boy, the song. Yeah, dude,
it's it makes me uh right here, I use a
(26:34):
little ballpark DJ.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Here we go, here, we go good. And it's fitting
because she also pitched recently.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, man, it hurt my harp and I'm like, all right, buddy,
I get it's the best.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So you guys know, I'm a big George. Michael Fanny
is my favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
His version of feeling Good was the song that we
walked to after we said I do so as we're
walking down the aisle. You know that's what beautiful man? Yes,
right and right at that point. So it can be
a walk down the aisle or a walk up music
if you'd like.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is that why you call your show the I Want
Your Flex Podcast? Absolutely? Yeah, that's good cross promotion. Yeah, dB,
So he doesn't care about you. He just looked that up.
That just when I lost faith. Oh no, Dan, you
know I look at you as a father figure. So
thank you for I appreciate Taylor swift new album.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yes, and dB is here, Danny G is here, Sam's her.
Thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation for being here every Monday.
Things that make you go hmm, we get you involved,
like hmm, what made me say hmm? Are we talking
enough about Indiana Jones? Are we talking enough about him?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Danny G.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
When you're watching your Raiders get stomped by the Cult, seriously,
what are your thoughts there? Because you have all these
hopes with Gino Smith, you're seeing what happens with Daniel
Jones forty to six.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
What were your thoughts watching that? It's just been a
weird season so far. Rich mentioned how the Patriots aren't
the Patriots we know from the past few seasons. Yeah,
Raiders look good against him. In week one, Gino Smith
came out with a bang, and then he turned into
a pumpkin and has been throwing all these picks. He
through his ninth interception, and it's weird the Raiders seem
and Dan byron I said after Game one, it looked
(28:23):
like Carol and his staff made some really good coaching
adjustments at halftime of that first game, and ever since,
it looks like Pete Carroll and company have been out coached.
Their special teams is horrendous, which is weird. They've always
had a great punter and kicker and have been good
on coverage, and this season, for whatever reason, they can't punt,
they can't kick field goals, they can't cover the other
(28:45):
team when they're kicking to them.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
So it's I don't know, dude, it's been so weird.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Well it's kind of ironic because I feel like Gino
Smith is the face, like the modern day face of
written off and then redeemed himself, came back, got second
life and now now back to now.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Back to the reality bus. Yeah, it's so strange.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And Daniel Jones is that guy now and well, you know,
two hundred and twelve yards two touchdowns, The guy looks impressive.
Indiana Doctor Jones is going to be rooting for tonight
o Patrick Mahomes because if they beat Jacksonville, sitting alone
in first place in the AFC South Indianapolis and the
added a wild year right they lost their owner. Who's
(29:27):
running the team is you know wildly since we lost
Jim Mayor say, just a very interesting and think about
where we started with Indianapolis. So I'm great brought them up,
could you know? Because remember it was Anthony Richardson and
it was like who wha well, hold on, Daniel Jones is.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Competing with him?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And then when they said open quarterback battle, let's be
honest the don't we all think at first.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like you have to say that?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, and now you were hearing the favoritism Daniel Jones,
So it's for real because you know, we forget that
NFL teams want to win. They they want to win
at all costs. So there's no well, we're gonna go
with Richardson, regardless he had no big contract yet. So
it was interesting to see, Wow, Daniel Jones won the battle.
Richardson doesn't seem like he's the guy. And now Richardson,
(30:11):
I'm not saying rooting against this team, but you don't
think subconsciously he's like, damn, why is Daniel Jones rolling
Yo and in the battle of written off quarterbacks, Gino Smith,
Daniel Jones, you saw the Buccaneers and Seahawks going at it,
and that was a game that made me say, hmm,
really good game. That was a really great game. And
(30:32):
Baker Mayfield again separating himself, I think, from the pack
of quarterbacks that were sort of written off, or as
they say, he wasn't written off.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
He was just playing for the Browns.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
But again he then somebody bounced around and he's playing big,
three hundred and seventy nine yards, two tuddies and a
really great win over the Seahawks four and one, just
battling and grinding every game. How could you not like
why at least watching the Buccaneers play well, Dan Buyer,
your Seahawks fell just short. And I said before, I
(31:05):
don't feel comfortable as a Niners fan playing the Bucks
next week. They they could secretly be a top two
or three NFC team right.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Now, considering they played yesterday without Bucky Irving and Mike Evans. Yes,
I know the Seahawks a defense missing some pieces as well,
but Donald up until the last interception, was just as
good as Baker Mayfield. But to have the cross country
trip that Tampa had to not have Evans, to not
have Irving, and to be able to do what they did. Yeah,
sitting there at four and one in a division that
(31:34):
honestly already feels wrapped up like in the NFC, suald
like the Buccaneers are going to be there.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
He is your leading MVP candidate right now.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Remember two quarterbacks that played together on the same team,
Sam Donald and Baker in the Carolina both have a
chip on their shoulder a little bit, or as Colin says,
Mayfield has that good chip on his shoulder. You know,
it's a good ship. And to see them battle in
that way and both put up big numbers and both
looked good, it was really cool to see. So, you know,
(32:03):
just some observations we're making and then we open it
up to you eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox things.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That make you go hmm. But first and first and
mostly we got to talk to our guy dB. Let's
get it up date my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
We forget Cleveland made the playoffs with Baker, but then
they wanted to go in a different direction and kind
of forced him out, moved him to Carolina where Sam
Darnold already was, and that's how they were teammates, and
then the Mayfield experiment didn't work, and funny how everything
sorts out. Bengals have a unique quarterback situation right now
because Joe Burrow's injured and Jake Browning's just turning the
ball over today. Had coach Zach Taylor was asked if
(32:37):
Browning's going to remain the starter for Week six against
the Packers.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
You see Jake starting on Sunday, We'll see where it goes.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
You know, it's I think I got all personnel decisions.
We got to evaluate it. Jake's been very accountable for
how the game went for him. I've got to be
accountable for how the game went for me as well,
and so we'll continue to progress here through the days.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Not necessarily a vote of confidence.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
In other NFL news, the Chargers are placing running back
of mar And Hampton on injured reserve because of the
injured ankle suffered in yesterday's loss to the Commanders. Colts
kicker Spencer Schrader done for the year with a torn
ligament torn ligaments in his knees suffered in yesterday's win
over Danny's Raiders. Patriots running back Antonio Gibson done for
the year with a torn ACL Lions got the win
(33:17):
against the Bengals, but they lost Cornertarry and Arnold for
a while. Head coach Dan Campbell said it'll be a
long time before Arnold returns from a shoulder injury. Tonight,
Chiefs and Jaguars eight fifteen Eastern Time Baseball. Top of
the Hour, Dodgers and Phillies. No Harrison Bader in the
lineup for the Phillies. He's out because of his growing injury.
Comes in Brewers nine Eastern Jackson Turio batting leadoff for Milwaukee,
(33:37):
playing left field as they're up one zero and the
best of five matchup.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Guys, back to you, thankste B.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
And as far as things that make you go hmm,
I love the meme that's like, well, well, well, let's
look at the AFC North Burrow, Floco Lamar, all under
five hundred and injured, and look who's just sitting there
three and one in a bye week with his feet up,
dominating that division. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. Yeah, that's
(34:03):
a story that we would not have predicted. And uh,
as we said, there's no undefeated teams, there's only one
winless team and is what does your mom always say, Steve?
And it all comes out in the wash, like do
the Jets just permanently stink? The only oh to five
team in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Would did Justin Field say something about? Oh what did
he say? He got a lot of criticism for it.
You know what, think about it? I find out what
it is.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
We' still buying into hope, like oh oh, they're like,
no team has ever made the playoffs starting you know,
oh and five or whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
He goes, well, there's the first time for everything like that. Yeah,
maybe not. And we landed on the moon.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hey, we got more Kvine on a rich next right
here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, Sam dB
said before he's a big George Michaels fan. I thought
he meant the George Michael Sports machine, but he actually meant,
you know, George Michael of Wham. And this is by
far my favorite song. It's such a great song, Freedom
(34:59):
ninety four with.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
All the hot models. Yea, yeah, bro, great video too. BB.
Is this a fair one to say it's like just
a universally awesome song. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I think this is the one that people will point to,
like I think we mentioned Faith earlier. I think Faith
is the worst song on the Faith album, but people
it's more popular.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, however, however, Biscuit version better.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
However, have you seen Dan Byron some tight nim Oh yeah,
oh yeah, you're shaking his.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Booby my leather jacket as well.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, dB is hanging out. He's your grand
champion when it comes to last one standing.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Not today, I'm bringing it today. I'm bringing it today.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
You know, I'm trying to work on it because when
it comes to process of elimination, just have a mental roadblock.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Man. It's tough, but that's what makes it fun. It's
a battle.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
And we play for some prizes later today, so stick
around for that. But right now, like we always do
on this Monday, we're live from Fox Sports Radio Studio,
it's time for a Tiract Play of the day. The

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Actually his names Andy might be the Northern Nights, Yeah yeah,
and Andy and h Yeah, Aurora, same thing. That's courtesy
of ninety eighty five the Sports Hub and the Patriots
Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's our tire rack play of the day. Is that tonight?
Is it tonight like a super moon or something? So
it's the harvest moon something like that solar storm?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Courtesy of ninety eight point five the Sports Hub Patriots
Radio Network tire Racks Play of the Day. For over
forty years, our good friends at Tyraq, they've been helping
customers find the right tires for howware and what they drive,
ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection, convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rag dot com,
the way tire buying should be. You know, we were
just glazing, as the kids say, Baker Mayfield off the
(36:59):
air Rich, wondering if we give him enough credit. I'm like,
on this show, we do, but is the rest of
the world doing that? And you got to give him props?
Three hundred and seventy nine yards two touchdowns the Buccaneers
over the Seahawks again a battle of the ritten the
written off quarterback sessions.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
It's it's not crazy to say he's an MVP candidate.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Well, the point we're going to make here right now,
real quick. Things that make you go hmmm, is when
are we going to start putting Mayfield in that conversation
of of top quarterbacks in the league, Like what more
does the guy have to do? Is it is previous
reputation that's holding him back because he's doing everything right
and it has to be applauded. It's impressed a lot
(37:39):
of times when your reputation. Unfortunately, as they say, precede you, yeah,
going to give you one, you know, rude one and
one like funny one. The root one would be of
Unfortunately this is it's sexist and not right of guys
to think. But if a woman has been around quite
a bit, who it's hard to shake that reputation when
(38:00):
she was like a party girl and like she could
be a great woman, but in college, you know what
she used to do it and sometimes it's hard.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
You're about to see that storyline on Love is Blind
by the way, Oh I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
So jam Keane's mom would call her a Jezebel, So
I to me, it's sort of like that and my
dumb analogy. I was gonna tell you when we were kids,
it was so hard for me to acknowledge that Brett
the Hitman Heart was like a champion because in my
mind he was part of like a weak ass tag team.
I'm like, I say, like, you mean Brett Hart and
Jim the Annville. You're convinced me that the guy that
was on the mediocre tag team is now like the
(38:33):
guy for wrestling, like Brett the Hitman Heart.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Like to me, it's like, no, he's like a tag
team guy with the goate guy Jim the Annville. He's
not a champion.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
That's why I think he's more relatable and fun to
root for, because I think everybody faces that at one point.
I can't tell you how many people still think of
me as the van driver for k Rock New York.
I haven't driven the van since nineteen ninety nine, but
in the end, until you branched out and did something else,
everyone there would think of was, oh, could you know
the guy that promotionally drives the van, the k Rock van,
(39:03):
or you mean the national radio host for Fox Sports Radio,
like give me a break. But that's how people remember
you sometimes, how you started. I think people think of
Baker as the he was. He had a fork in
the road and he could have went down a Johnny
Manziel path, which it looked like he was going, and
he did the exact but because the Browns stinks so much,
(39:24):
we forget that he's the only guy that's brought them
any glimmer of glory. He won playoff games, he was
but then they decided, oh, we're going to go with
the Shawn Watson and it was really unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
So is he elite that makes it go? I'm a
big Baker fan.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I think most people are now right, we got more
CNR coming up here on Fox Sports Radio.
