Speaker 1 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. I want to
congratulate Gobble the Turkey. Did you see Gobble got pardoned
by President Trump? Gobble, I just want to tell you
this very important.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
You are hereby unconditionally partner Gobble.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
No, I did not know that, but I'm glad you
brought to my attention. I did, however, see that Trump
is trying to push to get rush hour for made.
We need more Jackie Chan, we need more Chris Tucker's
true story. And I also saw that he reached out
to congratulate Shador Sanders. He actually tweeted this. Shador Sanders
was great, wins first game for his career start as

(01:00):
a pro for Cleveland. Great jeens. I told you so.
He pulled that. I told you so, I told you so.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
So funny, But last night a great night. Sloppy went
for the forty nine ers. But for those that are
keep it score at home, which I don't know who
does that anymore. I did make it home, turned the
phone off, went to go see Wicked with the family,
and I did say I was gonna pull two thousands,
which is I actually turned my phone off, and I
was like, I'm not gonna let anyone spoil it, bother

(01:30):
me or anything. So I went to the movie, went
straight home. I told my wife just go in the
house before me and queue it up to the kickoff,
because sometimes you turn the TV on and it might
be the pre the postgame and you're like, ah, son
of a yeah, so yeah. So I was like, babe,
just queue up to the kickoff and then tell me
it's ready. So I ran in the house and a
three hour football game, you could watch it about an

(01:54):
hour fifteen without missing a play. I'm talking like, just
fast forward through the TV timeouts, the injuries, half time commercials, everything.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
And can you really get the feel of I don't
want to see how boring it was, But you're right,
you said sloppy. That was the overall sentiment of the
feel of the game. It was sort of a sloppy win,
but still a win for the forty nine ers. Party
wasn't his best. I feel like the announcers were a
little hard on the game, like, yeah, not the most exciting,

(02:22):
not the cleanest game of football for the forty nine ers.
Did you still get that vibe even though you were
FFing it the whole time?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, dude, I thought as a Niners fan, I'm pleased
because later on we're going to figure out who's going
to not make the playoffs in the NFC. We're gonna
do a little schedule watching it a little bit. But
the Niners improved to eight and four, and I don't
know what else you could as score. There's a lot
of criticism today about from Purdy. Yeah, yeah, did hold
on Rich?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I gotta pause because the whole mission yesterday was can
Rich navigate his night without the game being spoiled? Success?
You were able to pull that off. But I want
to know your thoughts to fuck Sports Radio Nation on
the edge of their seat before we talk about Brock Party. Yeah,
what did you think of Wicked for Good?

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Fantastic? Yo, Wicked for Good? How about do you give
it on the potato meter? How about so damn good?
It was fantastic? Honestly, if you liked the Broadway show
or the first one or anything. If you're a fan
of Wicked, I thought it was fantastic. I loved it, amazing.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
What about that X rated scene?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
There wasn't one like that was the most overrated thing
of all type A woman took her kids who wrote
like an op ed or something for people.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
She's like, I took my kids out of the theater,
some old granny that that's lame.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
You know. Fierro, what was the so Fierro the guy
that ends up turning into the scarecrow.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
I don't know a spoiler alert?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh geez, I mean, could you spoil a twenty year
old Broadway show?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You blow it?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Fierro and Alpha Ba Cynthia Ribo, the Green, the Bad Witch,
Wicked Witch? Did they make out and it's like a
they're singing a love song and at the end they
make out and then the next scene they wake up
in a bed and he's like, has no shirt on this?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I that with Judy Garland, bro bro, it was nothing.
Anyone's making a deal of it. Honestly, is like forcing
some weird narrative. It really is like, there was nothing
in appropriate. My five year old was there and I
didn't even think twice?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Was it awkward? Did you have to explain some things
to Ben on the ride home? No, I was gonna say,
it's not even yo.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's one of those things that if unless you pointed
it out, you wouldn't even have thought about it.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Did Ben say, did they have hanky panky? Dad? What
was going on? They make pain?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
They make Yes, people don't know. My fun year old
son loves seventies game shows. So Wicked was great, got home,
watched the game, and I'll tell you what, Wicked was
better than the game. But I'm happy to get the
w as as Fred Warner, who's not playing these days unfortunately,
always says, dub City Baby, you get to win, it
doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's all that matters.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And Brock, pretty I want to talk about Brock. Let's
let's dive into this now. Let's let's get heated.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Dude. Not only were the announcers sort of tough on
him in the game and the turnovers, but even our
guy Colin Cowhert says, you know, he's called them the
right handed Tua. How dare you he's as good as Tua?
And he really criticized his last thirty games, and when
you look at the stats for the last.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Thirty game, yes, thing, Colin, But I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh well, please do tell me why. I'm just sort of,
you know, letting the world know in case they missed it. Yeah,
that his stats last thirty games are average at best. Yeah,
when you factor in how much money he's getting paid
as well.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, but like we do, we have the memory. What
is a bad memory of golfish an elephant? What would
no elephants have good memories? I well guess what, Colin's
not an elephant, Okay, and either of you or anyone else,
because you're all golfish, your little golfish and old tank.
Because you forget that last year we knew that rock

(05:51):
Perty had no one, that whole team was hurt. They
were under five hundred. It was just a wash of
a season for the forty nine ers coming off the
Super Bowl loss. Everyone remember McCaffrey was out the whole year.
Kid as the off season dude.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Every So we were.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
All like, man Brock did the best he could with nothing,
And now you're throwing those stats in some bigger picture
to prove your point, Like we he got the contract
after that season so what's with all this bs that
like Brock's not delivering. Well, guess what those numbers he
put up last year still enabled this dude to get
fifty plus million dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Here's where I'm going to defend brock party in fairness.
Colin did say something along the lines of he is
a better athlete than to uh and makes better decisions
or whatever. But essentially he's the same guy, the right
handed version. Well, and I'm just saying that simply to
paint the picture that you're describing that a lot of
people are being hard on him today.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Listen, I see a headline now on FS one. Should
forty nine er fans feel better or worse after that win?
The answer is undeniably one hundred percent better. They pulled
off a w against a team that was sort of
in that playoff borderline conversation. Right, the Panthers are way
better than we thought. They're now six and six.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, but the forty nine ers are your team, so
you're always gonna see the silver line. No, no, no, no,
Actually it's like no parent never sees the opposite.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Ugly, their kids are the opposite. Kids are the cutest.
I think fans are harder on their team than most people.
Do you. You know, they're always complaining. Anyone that thinks
Mac Jones is the answer, get your head out of
your ass. Mac Jones is a great backup quarterback.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Brock Party is.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
A hell of a lot better than Mac Jones. Three interceptions.
Can we talk about context because it matters right in
all things?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Like, yeah, ninety three yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, And
for the record, I'm just playing Devil's advocate. I root
for Rock Party and I think he's a great player,
So go ahead.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Rich one hundred and ninety three yards doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
They were in control of that game. They couldn't stop
the run, so McCaffrey at a very busy night Robinson
as a backup had some good runs. Listen, what I'm
not understanding is people not realizing context. You see quarterbacks
sometimes struggle. All the throws are terrible, like they're just
they're misreading every coverage. Rock Purdy was seeing all his reads,

(08:10):
he was controlling the game, just made a couple bad throws.
It really is that, And you could say, well, you're
a National Football League quarterback. I don't think it's problematic,
like Brock Party is a bad quarterback. I think brock
Purty had a bad night where he just I don't know,
is he was a little off with his throws, which
to me is so much different than a quarterback that
looks lost in the sauce. Brock Purty was confident throwing

(08:32):
dimes at times, but other times he just seemed like
he was off. He's been in and out of that lineup,
as you know, because of injuries, the turf toe. Nothing
about brock Purty concerned me. If anything, I'm like, all right,
he got that one out of his system and the
forty nine ers got a w.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Just an off night. That's a positive way to look
at it. He had an off night and still came
away with a win. Yeah, I mean that's a positive
way to look at it.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Rich. But are you nervous going up against that Browns defense?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
They're they going to annihilate the Browns?

Speaker 4 (08:59):
You think so?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I listen the Browns.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
You don't think Miles Garrett's gonna be all over party? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
That dude's a sack machine. Yeah yeah, Sosha mother.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Rich, I think that that makes that matchup, you know,
that much more interesting, Rich, because I don't think party
can get away with some of that against the Browns defense.
We know the Browns offense has struggled. Maybe Schador is
going to stabilize things. That's yet to be seen. But
you know, I don't know how you can go into
that game against the Browns and think they're gonna just

(09:36):
step right over that defense.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I look at it from just a prep sure PREPSU right,
maybe I'm looking at it from a way positive standpoint,
but I look at it and say, the interceptions he
threw weren't under they weren't under duress. They weren't like
ill advised throws. They weren't like into the wrong coverage,
like oh my god, he didn't see the linebacker drop back.
Like these are all throws that like he just missed

(09:59):
the guy leading him too much, or it was behind
them by foot. They were just bad throws. And I
know you're saying, what's the NFL, dude, bad throws I'll
take any day over whow my quarterback has no clue
it looked great.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
He's just taking a throws a bad night, just a
bad night, and still got the win. I'm reading the
feedback on our chat. Hey, we all know when our
team barely wins were relieved. Not every win is going
to be a sexy win. That's from willelm Minna Kriider
Green four eight seven seven and Esteban says, what's up Rich?

(10:33):
A win is a win, it doesn't matter if it's
by an inch or a mile. That's from pit phenomenal.
So lots of feedback coming in. It's interesting, though, you
gotta keep it in perspective. Everybody's saying they looked average
yesterday with the win. Party didn't look his best, and
that's fair to say that everyone's going to have an
off night. But isn't it ironic? Don't you think that

(10:55):
the one guy defending him is a forty nine Ers fan.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think it's just an easy it's a layup. It's
a layup as a dumb talking sportshead or someone on
TikTok or Instagram to be like party through three picks.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
He sucks.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Maybe they should go with Mac Jones fifty mil what
a waste. He had a bad night. But again I
was Sam. You feel what I'm saying right as far
as like it wasn't his play, it was just a
couple of bad throws.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, Kyle Shanahan at the halftime interview. His level of
concern pretty much matches yours, Like he was just like, yeah,
he's just a little off. He he just dismissed the
question like it wasn't It was nothing to him. No,
he knew he was gonna be fine.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
And you know what, I really do love Danny G's
sort of observation here though. It does make next week's
game that much more exciting though, like how ye be
bound from that and the defense versus their offense.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
It makes it makes schanor second start against the Niners
in a game that maybe wasn't that interesting, like oh yeah,
maybe that's a game to today sets up the drama
real nice, Like now I'm even more intrigued to see
how this all plays out and we can come back
next week. Like Yo, even with their defense, even with
Garrett Yo, Purdy was the man, like he could totally
redeem himself from a bad game if it was just that.

(12:08):
I mean, I know they're different sports, but there are
times where your ace pitcher goes out there and for
the first couple innings he just doesn't have a stuff
that day, and you know he'll pitch four innings, five
runs and you're like, ah, man, our ace, you know,
poop to bed tonight. It happens. And I know football
is different, shorter schedule games mean way more. But to me,

(12:32):
Brock Purdy knows how to play football. He had some
bad throws. Everything about his game other than that, he
was not getting swallowed up in the pocket. He was
moving around the right way. Again. The interceptions were all
on balls that he wishes he could have back because
he had the receiver just made a bad throw. And
I know I'm making excuses maybe, but no, no.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know, I'm with you. I'm just playing Devil's advocate.
His arm, his passing, his decision making was never ever
the question here. It was his health. It was his foot.
And if all that looked good, then you know, man,
you gotta win. You're eight and four now. It looked
to me like a great night for rich Davis. You
saw wicked, it was great, your kids behaved, you came back,

(13:15):
you watched the game, wasn't spoiled, and the team won.
They won on a bad game, he still won twenty
to nine. The only downside was how much he spent
on popcorn.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
And you know what, Kyle Shanahan shares my sentiment. So
if you don't believe me, listen to the head coach.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
You got to think about all of them why it's happening.
You know, it makes me a lot more hesitant if
they're all bad decisions and stuff. But he was seeing
it right. They're all really good decisions. So he just
missed the throw on them. So you know, I think
it's it's a lot worse when you feel like he's
not making.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
The right decisions.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Dude, I would say this, kimmin No, I swear to god,
I didn't hear Kyle say that. I felt that as
a fan who's invested, I felt like at no point,
because we know those times where a guy scrambled on
thirty short and he flings it ill advisable. I remember
Josh Allen a couple of weeks ago, like almost he
was doing a basketball chess pass into the end zone
and it was a pick.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Likes pretty what are they doing?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Like, what do you do? Throw it away? Don't throw
it down the sideline into double coverage. He made no
bad decisions, he just had a weak ass.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Harm last night, Rich, I'm wondering what the west would
one play by play guys we're seeing that the TV
audience wasn't. Because I after doing CNR post production, I
was on the freeway with all the Thanksgiving travelers, and
I'm listening to the radio broadcast, and their two play
by play guys for west Wood One kept pointing out
that they didn't feel like Party had the usual velocity

(14:34):
that he normally has on his path.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know what I'm You know, perhaps I'm no doctor,
even though you might think that Jack Man Rich, you're
really smart, you must be a doctor. No, we didn't
think the way he used that's not that's not the sentiment.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
But you do have an MD a massive dome. So
people might think, you know Rich, you know doctor, But no, no,
he is a PhD. Though pretty huge dork Rich.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
On the radio broadcast, I listened for an hour. They
pointed out his arm in the velocity probably three or
four times in the broadcast.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
So and there.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Once I got to a TV I was just wondering,
because it doesn't seem like you're worried about that.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
There were a couple that were one of the picks.
Seem like a floater that didn't get there. Maybe again,
not a doctor that you might think maybe planting on
that turf toe. Think about anytime you throw a ball,
you plan for a shot in basketball, you plant for
a cut in football, anything you do your big toe
his turf toe. I mean, maybe there's a little hesitancy,

(15:35):
and you know when you favor something, a little bit
of throws you off. I'm making excuses now for brock Party.
Next week I think will be the real test, because
they play Cleveland, they win that they're nine and four,
then they have a bye week and come back and
play the one in ten Tennessee Titans. The forty nine ers,
if they want to make the playoffs, need to be

(15:55):
ten and four in a couple weeks from now, and
then I'll tell you exactly why, because I have the
whole NFC playoff picture broken down perfectly.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I watched the game. I know it's the whole thing,
and this is a half it is a glass half fall,
glass half empty sort of situation. It's just a matter
of how you want to look at it. And Rich
has me convinced he really does. I watch the game.
I feel the same way that Rich did, and it's
simply this for me, if you could still be dominant
on your worst day and still pull a w on

(16:24):
your worst day. To me, that says a lot, and
I chalk that up in everyday life. If Rich and
I could still do one of the better shows in
the nation on an off day, I think we're doing okay.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I feel like our bad shows are better than some
other people's good shows.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Isn't that hold on? How many times do we say
that to one another? It wasn't the best show, right
because you can't have it every day. But even at
our worst, we still feel like we're one of the best.
And if your team could still pull a win when
they didn't play their best, I think you're sitting pretty
at eight and four and it's still your season just

(16:58):
as much as anyone else's. So if you're looking at
it half full, I think your team is really in contention.
They pulled off a nice win or a sloppy win,
but a nice win on their worst day, So even
at their worst, they're still one of the best in
the league. Right now, Can you know a hot girl?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Because I you know, I do an analogy to relationships
for everything, So why stop now? A Hawk girl with
a big pimple on her nose run an ugly shirt
is still gonna have every guy in the bar wanting her,
even I might it might not be her best day,
but on her worst day, guys are still gonna want her.
It's listen, Aaron Judge, It's gonna go through his ups

(17:35):
and downs. Steph Curry's gonna have a game where he
shoots twenty percent. These things happen, and because.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
The only difference is the NFL, we overspeculate everything, and
a lot has to do with the matchup next week.
And Danny g hit the nail on the head that
makes it so much cooler. Your thoughts at eighty seven
seven ninety nine on Fox is Rich Big Dreaming. Here
is Rich trying to polish a turd right now. You
let us know it's pretty cheap. Let me buns, let
me give me have a bad night. Let me give

(18:02):
you two more quick things, and we'll take all your feedback.
And then I'm gonna tell you why why you can't
punch someone in the nuts, because you're gonna get caught.
I have a theory on what happened to Juwan Jennings,
and I do want to break down the whole NFC
playoff pictcher because I think it's really interesting. Once you
start realizing there's gonna be one team out of the mix.

(18:24):
Joey Elbows is hitting us up on our chat, Rich
saying perty Is Cheeks and Crane nineteen says you'd be
singing a different tune had they lost. You know, is
the fact that they won that you're seeing things from
a positive?

Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's right, isn't that? Yeah? No, duh, I'm reading the
If you get away with the w and your star
quarterback makes mistakes, you're like, all right, we got away
with one.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Joey Elbow says San Francisco has the easiest schedule in
the league. No Bosa, no Warner, San Francisco is cooked.
So lots of feedback on the on the live chat
Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube Coen Rich FSR.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, tell Joey Elbows and anyone else that disagrees
with me that the forty nine ers last night, you
know what people should be talking about. How Christian McCaffrey's
as good as he's ever been, How George Kittle looks
like he's back to full health. Robert Sala has that defense.
I know you could say, dude, it was the Panthers,
but the Niners are not letting up a ton this

(19:23):
this team, I mean, unless you play the Rams, I
guess right, but this team is not super Bowl bound,
but they are playoff bund. Then I'll tell you coming
up in a little bit, who's on the outside looking in?
And I think you're gonna be shocked.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well rich as a guy on the outside looking in
when it comes to the forty nine ers. I watched
him because you did the forty nine ers. Really ever
bank on Perty being or playing like a superstar at
being just really good like you are banking on McCaffrey
and Kittle and the stars like that to play like superstars,
and they are so Perty had an off night, No

(19:59):
big deal. Like again, it's over speculation. It's the NFL.
It's what we do. That's exactly how I'm seeing it.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Man. Now we're not talking about all those things. So
we're talking about Party, which I guess makes sense. He's
the guy that got paid fifty to sixty million dollars
to lead this team. He's been sidelined most of the year,
and he saw Mac Jones play respectable. Keep in mind,
Party's not helping himself with eight toutty seven interceptions where
Mac Jones filled in thirteen touchdowns six interceptions, so on paper,

(20:27):
you'd be like, eh, MATC. Jones, maybe you stick with
the hot hand. Anyone that knows this team and the system,
they know that brock Party is just a better quarterback
for what they're doing, sees the feel better, moves around better. Again,
just bad decisions, and we could end it at that.
You want to talk about package Kate though, you know

(20:47):
I do, and then we'll get to Isaac Gloanecrown because
when I think packages, well, we'll get to him a
little bit with an update. But Yo, after the game,
I'm sure we all saw the same thing they're showing
everyone do that little postgame high fives. A lot of
focus on McCaffrey because he was a big player in
the game and former Carolina Panthers, so you saw him
growing it up with a lot of his old teammates

(21:08):
and personnel, and then out of nowhere, mix it with
all the high fives and like, yo, good game, game
broken jersey swaps. You see Juwan Jennings being like, like,
we're strained by multiple teammates, like as if you wanted
to murder someone, well.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
He throws a quick left at mowrigg and you're thinking
something must have happened.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
But you didn't see that. You didn't see the throw
at first. You just saw him being pulled away, like
what was said or done? And then they, of course
they have angles of everything. They go back and like, yo,
he threw a he shoved the head of Trevion mowrig
And you're like, why did he do that? And of
course then they keep going back in the tape and
a bunch of sleuths working for the NFL they find

(21:51):
just the play McCaffrey up the middle, short game and
you see this guy. I was gonna say piece of trash,
but you know what, can you judge someone on one
bad moment? Maybe I don't know this guy on the Panthers.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
You guys were both close with his name, by the way,
Travon Merrik.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Travon Merrig, Yeah, where's the d where's the okay?

Speaker 1 (22:19):
When I say Rigon Merk, Isaac Lone crowns looking at
and be like, no one cares or knows this dude anyway.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
He's a he's a good he's a good player. The
Raiders actually couldn't afford to keep him, and he was
a good free agent pickup for the Panthers.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Would they keep instead?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Daddy?

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah, you don't. They got hin from the commanders.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I know most were punching Jennings in the package. So
this guy.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Takes a ship like cheap shall like, there's no hiding it,
there's no confusion like, oh did he do it? Remember
like the Jamar chase, did he spit or not? And
you're like, I don't know. And remember the getting of
the season there was another spit incident where it's like,
you know, was he just dribbling out of his mouth
or did he spit?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
This is Dak Prescott. This is just a straight up.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Fist made right in the nuts like like and and
Kyle Shanahan talked about it afterwards because he was asked,
did you see Jennings and why he was so mad?

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Did you see what.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
Happened to Juan on the last series? Oh yeah, the
guy took a cheap shot and hit him in the
balls and was really proud of Juan for not losing
his mind out there and get him to the sideline.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
And you know what, Kyle shanahand very uh, very on
the same page with Mike Tomlin, who remember Mike Tomlin
when his player was spit on. He's like, you know,
these guys are getting their players backs in these moments,
and I thought that was pretty cool. And Juwan Jennings
even spoke about getting hit in the wavels.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
Yeah, I was just responding to me his behavior, That's
all it was.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Kyle said it was it was a cheap shot. He
was proud to be for that retalion, like get.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
In the moment we talked about the time small as
when though is for us and so you know, being
seven rounder could come up. I don't want to make
any mistakes, you know. I'm trying to go out there
and play the hardest I can and uh, I like
the rest to help me out when they can.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's why these guys got to wear cups. Man, Yo,
you don't mess like that. Getting hitting the wave hos
like that. It's something that women will never understand. When
you're rough housing a little bit and you get whoa right,
these are things that you don't play around.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
The last time you got a good nuts shot, you
know what, to be honest, two days ago. And I'll
tell you the story in a second, but I gotta
ask every guy in this room. I want you to
admit it. I'm putting truth seer them out there. No
one could lie. You can't tell a lie.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
How many times has a girl you were dating or
your wife accidentally hit in the in the uh wavos
and you over exaggerate to get a little sympathy like,
oh it's and it's really not that bad.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh, to get a little sympathy rub out of it?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Well, whoa I good love love Okay, yeah, have you
have you exact? I've absolutely done that. I've accidentally, like
you know, you're you're wrestling around, horsing around with your
girl and she accidentally hits you, and you overstated it.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I can't say I did that. You sound like a
canniving creep to me.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I'm not joining in on this.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
You're leaving me out to dry. I'm the only one, okay,
set it up like we all do it. No, man,
you're the only guy. You're telling me, just you.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
Just when you think you know someone Hino.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, man, wow, man, maybe maybe I am a conniving creep.
This guy's a regular Tom Sawyer. Oh my god, honey.
But I will say, oh my goodness, I'm in so
much pain. I knock on wood have avoided getting really
used my whole life. I play third base in high school.
I play third base when I play softball now I

(25:48):
like I like playing that hot corner. I don't wear
a cup knockout wood. Still have never got hit in
the nuts. Would you believe two days ago? Two days ago,
my son, It's like you know, when you're when you
have a on the place baseball they walk around the
house phantom swinging because they you know, they're in little
kid baseball mode. He just walks around, thinks he's swinging.
He swings his like hands and he's five yo. He

(26:12):
hit me so hard. I fell to my knees and
I go, oh, he's at that perfect He started crying.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
He's like, mommy, I heard daddy.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I'm my god, buddy. It's okay, but you better fucking
watch out.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
So that's two balls, one strike.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, two balls one strike. But hey, I think it's
a low class move. Could you know you and I
have talked about this in the past. That's trash behavior.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
You're in the NFL, Like, that's really weird. Know, I
know a man like you know, the damnage you could do.
That's so lame, I know, and you know that all
cameras are on you too. That's the other Cove suspended
one game and he's gonna fight it. What is he
gonna fight like? I meant to tickle.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Listen. Getting said he was trying to punch out the ball.
Punch out the ball, ball, Laurel. But I I look
at it this way. There's few things you could do
to another man. It's just like unacceptable and spitting, hitting
someone in the nuts and Cavino, you've talked about talking
about my mind, talking about someone's family, their wife or kids.

(27:15):
Why these are these are the things? No nos in life,
no nose on the field. Yeah, those are the line crosses.
Every guy knows them. Yet I think I called that.
It's the big three.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
It's the don't touch another man's car? Keears out there?

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Are they grill?

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Are you key somebody's car? You're trash?

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's trash behavior. I thought you met
with Cavino. Does your car where he puts his hand
down his pants and he touches your handles that? But no, yeah,
I agree. Don't don't touch a man's car, don't talk
about his wife or kids, don't hit him in the
nuts and don't spit on him. There's it's very These
are very simple rules, Steve.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Remember when you saw someone put like a palm print
on your car and you're like, what the hell?

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Why would you do that? Why did you put your
greasy meat hook on there?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Cat your greasy sausage fingers off my car? I just
got it washed. So we're calling it package gay. I
believe Dan Byer called it something. But Juwan Jennings, he
played it right. He knew that the cameras would pick
it up. He called that out, and he was just
responding to childish behavior. As he said, it doesn't get
more childish than that. Yeah, but I want to hear
about your uh, your last time you took one to

(28:23):
the package.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Some people have gone a whole lifetime. I have a
quite honestly, do you think every guy in his life
has been punching the face and hitting the huevos? Or
do you think some guys go their whole life without.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I do believe there's a selece few. You might be
looking at one that that have never gotten it. I
don't think I've ever taken a full on blow to
the package.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
What if it's self inflicted like you're riding your bike
down a very steep hill and then maybe you fell
off your your bike seat and then you landed on
the crossbar, and maybe it happened.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Sam, I've always heared that, we've always feared that, but
I'm not sure it ever really happened to me.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Well, what if it did happen? What if and it
really hurt? And you're like eleven years old on your
swind and como.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Think of how many you know you played very specific
and I know you played baseball in high school in college.
You never you never took a bad hop ever off
the package, and I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'm gonna think about it, and we're gonna take your
phone calls, your thoughts on it. This childish behavior. Juwan
Jennings and his package eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
But first we've got Lowen Kron on standby following.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Kron by the way, how do you say the guys
name again? Now?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Album?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Now you're in our head, Trayvon Merreg Merrig back to you, Merrig.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
It's great up there, Thank you guys.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
One of my best.

Speaker 7 (29:34):
So yeah, that that is our top story package you
gave twenty twenty five the NFL suspending Carolina safety Trayvon
merreg one game without pay for punching forty nine Ers
receiver Juwan Jennings in the footballs during last night's game.
Buffalo Bill signed veteran receiver Brandon Cooks after he was
recently released by the Saints.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Happy to be here on Fox Sports Radio. Very thankful
Thanksgiving week Live from a Fox Sports Radio studio. I'm
here in New Jersey and it's time for our tire
I Rack Play of the day, Rich's Boy that he's
defending rock Party Struggle. The Niners still pulled out a
win over the Panthers.

Speaker 9 (30:47):
A pivotal matchup between two teams jockeying for position in
the NFC playoff picture. The forty nine Ers will defeat
the Carolina Panthers here tonight, twenty to nine the finals.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
And that's courtesy of Kate NBR Niners Radio Network. That's
our tiract play the day. For over forty years, Tyraq

buying should be. The live chat is popin' Rich Covino

(31:22):
and Rich FSR on YouTube. We're streaming live and also
got feedback from Idaho ninety nine point nine. Len and
Nick are on their way back from fly fishing listening.
They don't buy into nutshots or package shots, okay, and
Nick caught his first fish on the fly rod today
and they're loving the CNR show, So prompts to Len

(31:43):
and Nicholas. But Rich, I know you had final thoughts
Jerry Springer's style.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
I just think that it's a it's a low class move.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
It is I can't class.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
I mean, and I think the one game suspension that
seems seems fair, seems legit. But I think the forty
nine ers are because no one's dominant except the Rams.
I keep saying, we got to remember the Rams. While
every other team in the NFL has shown moments of
like ooh, that wasn't good, the Rams have really not

(32:17):
shown that at all. In fact, we said yesterday they're
too long.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Fans would smirk at that. Okay, you know what, maybe
you're right.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Maybe I don't necessarily buy in quite yet, but I
will say when you look at the Rams, they could
very well be eleven. And oh they lost an overtime
game to the Niners that they fumbled on the one
foot line. I remember they lost on a game winning
field goal block to the Eagles, So you know, the Rams.
Other than the Rams, I think that the NFL is
so wide open that if a team like the Niners

(32:45):
plays good enough and brock Party finds his game, they
could get to the divisional round or so. I just
think the NFL is wide open. And I'm going to
go over the whole NFC playoff picture. I know we're
we're more than halfway there now. We got five six
games left for a lot of teams, and I think
the writings on the wall as to what team could
very well be out of it, and you'll be shocked

(33:06):
what team I think is said for a good time,
Cold Riches mother, I have a question for you that
I want to get your feedback next. Okay, now, honestly
I want to I do want to touch on this
for a second. It's not sports related at all, and
politics aside. I don't care if you love Trump paid
them Democrat, Republican. We're here to have a good time
and laugh, and I think you'll find this funny.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Did you realize Trump was such a shador Sanders fan.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I didn't know he would make such a big deal
about parting that turkey Gobble. I'm setting you free, Gobble.
I just want to tell you this is very important.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
You are hereby unconditionally partners.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
God, No, there's a there's something, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said,
being that we're about to enter, they're calling this no joke,
the busiest traveling Thanksgiving of all time. I'm not trying
to sound like Jesse Palmer on The Bachelor. Are like
the most dramatic season ever, they're saying more traveling this
week than ever before. Hear ever before. So he released

(34:06):
a statement that I think is hilarious that I think
you'll get with. So we'll do that. We'll go over
the NFC playoffs all next as Timmy no Breaks.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Would say, get this, Get this.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Now, I don't care if you
hate this guy love him. I don't know. If he's
a Trump guy, probably you can. I don't care about
your politics. This guy released the statement that I almost
I can't understand how anyone would not be behind this. He's like, listen,
it's gonna be a stressful travel time. Why don't we,

(34:40):
as a collective society say please say thank you to
the flight attendants and pilots as you like, get on
and off the plane, have some manners, and this is
what you're gonna love. He said, how about we dressed
with a little respect? Could we stop it with the
slippers and pajama pants? Dress a little nicer when you travel.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
I love it. We're way too I don't know, comfortable,
way too recreational. I saw pictures I should say Scheinfeld.
He's like, have you seen I see policemen on pogo sticks.
Like we've gone too far.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I think there's a sense of like pajamas have made
the mainstream. Dude, I watch. I saw pictures of your
daughter's sweet sixteen from this past weekend. Yeah, she's wearing
a gown that I'm sure cost you thousands. It's like
a King Signette ballroom gown. Yeah, and she's all done up.
You're at some sassy like country Clublican hall. You're wearing

(35:38):
a suit. Some of the teenage boys at her party
we're wearing like sweatpants and a hoodie.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I blame the adults, though. Here's why. It all started
with casual Friday, and then we took advantage, and then
COVID happened, and then we stopped wearing pants and we
started wearing sweatpants and everything else.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I'm not saying we need to be someone from the
nineteen forties where we're wearing fedoras and trench colors everywhere.
But what I'm saying is you don't think there's an
in between, Isaac Danny g You guys don't think there's
an in between, Like you don't need to wear a suit.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
On the plane.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
But do you really think we all need to wear
flannel pajama pants, take our socks off, and like act
like we're in our den.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's a little much, though.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Yeah, there's a middle ground that's needed when you go
out in public.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, you just comfortably, but you still look like an adult.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
You could wear an wear a nice pair of joggers
if you're gonna wear sweats, but like sweats with holes
in them and flannel pants, Like I was, Sam, you
come on, no.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Oh, I'm totally with you.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
I think this is actually this is the whole like
super casual airplane air you know, flying wardrobe has been
an issue for like a quarter century. And I don't
know if it's an issue called issue in quotation marks,
but people have been very casual flying on planes since
basically flying became casual, Like there used to be a
time where people were served like buffets and banquets on

(36:56):
planes and you addressed to the to the nines.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
But isn't there something nice, Sam, like those of the days.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Watched?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Yeah, but anytime you watch an old timey times video
of an old ball game, you do see dudes in
their suits and trench coats that coach coats and Fedora's
It was just a classier time. People cared about how
they looked and how they presented, and we threw that
out the window, and we looked like a bunch of slobs.
And that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
So I do get behind this rich You look at
like you said, an old game footage of the Yankees
nineteen twenty seven, whatever little old school footage they have.
You're right, everyone in the crowd has their scorecard. And
like a trench coat in Fedora, you see he has
New York Citio downtown Chicago nineteen forty something. It's a
bunch of dudes wearing suits. Women would put themselves together.

(37:47):
I just think, and I'm all for comfort, right, I'm
not saying.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
That's what I was gonna say. Man, those suits were
not coming. I remember Can't Rich wanting to get my
Sunday suit off from church so badly. I hated being
dressed like that.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Oh it's wool, Yeah, I mean, and you know what,
Camino points it out more than anyone COVID. There was
a lot of bad about it. There was some decent takeaways.
In the midst of, you know, a bad time, there
were some decent takeaways, like, oh, there.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Are some things you could do from home.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Now some people are mobilely working a little bit more flexibility.
We learned some stuff, but I'll tell you what we became,
and I'm I'm guilty. I just got back on track recently.
We got so in the habit of being so sloppy
during COVID.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Sloppy sweatpants, crocs. It's like, come on, are we adults
we school boys? Dude.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I mean, I'm not saying I'm dressed to the nines,
but I'm wearing a nice I'm wearing my Travis Matthew jeans,
I got a fitted T shirt on a hoodie. Like
it's just like there's you know, like be casually presentable.
I just I agree. So this is I just thought
this is funny being that we're entering the biggest traveling week.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
It's a shame that he has to remind people to
be polite and courteous around Thanksgiving, around the holidays, and
to dress like adult.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
His statement is pretty much just telling a bunch of
grown ups what you would tell kids. Right The Transportation
Secretary Sean Duffy had to say, it would be nice
if we said please and thank you to the service
workers and pilots and flight attendants during the busiest travel time.
Keep your cool. And you know what also helps self

(39:18):
respect comes with feeling respect. Dress a little better, dress
with respect, and people are giving this. People are hating
on this, by the way. That's why I brought up.
People are saying, like, what is this guy? Tell he's
running the money if you ask me.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, but there's a difference between your foot seat pajamas
and your stupid fluffy slippers that people go to the
airport with, and like athleisure, Like you could wear some
sort of athletic gear, some sort of athletic pant and
a hoodie and still be comfortable yet presentable on an
airplane in public. You know what I mean. We're talking

(39:50):
about in public.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Yeah, there's there's this like emphasis that who cares about vanity?

Speaker 2 (39:56):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
There's a lot of gross Eddie Ark.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Kadian and me growing up watching The Last Dragon that's shoe.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
But I'm just saying this. There's a big emphasis on like, oh,
you shouldn't care about what you look like, don't be vain.
It's like, don't look like a slob.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Hey, rich, you know who cares about vanity? Bruce Lee
Roy that's who.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
A movie that you love that I've never seen.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
You guys love Last Dragon?

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Dude, I'll watch the Last Dragon when you watch one
of two movies that Kevino's never seen. Get ready for this.
I'll watch the Last Dragon. If you watch, I'm gonna
give you a choice too, The Mighty Ducks or Little Giants?

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Little Giants?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
You just saw Little Giants, though I know I did
watch well.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I mean, they're very similar to this once hockey. I
think Little Mighty Ducks is better. But you like football
bore than hockey. So I'm just saying, you watch one
of the You're with your nephews and nieces this week
for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Yeah, yeah, maybe I'll watch both of them. That's a
great idea. Actually, you know what, that's a whole conversation.
Maybe we can have tomorrow, Rich, as we all get
together with friends and family like family movie safe mo Yeah?
What are those safe for? A family like mine, a
mom who's easily offended by everything. You gotta find those
safe movies like Little Giants and Mighty Ducks to watch

(41:14):
fun for the whole family. But Rich, I couldn't get
behind this sentiment more. I just came back from the airport,
and we're embarrassing as a society. Way too casual, way
too relaxed. It's like, come on, man, step it up
just a little bit and enjoy time with friends and family.
So I can get behind this all day.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yeah, but some people like like might hit us up
in Kentucky. I'm just looking at our text messages, he said, Dude,
it's a plane runway, not a fashion runway. I'm going
comfort you look like a slot Mike.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Sorry, yeah, got them.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
In our YouTube chat, Matt said that we that our
grandparents all dressed in their casket suits because they all
thought they were gonna die every time they.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
See know it's possible.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
I'm read on it.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
There's you know, he's saying, it's not a fashion runway.
No one's saying you gotta look like Rufe Paul at
the drag race. No one's saying you gotta be Stereic Zoolander.
You know, but you look presentable like an adult. How
did we lose How did we lose the focus on
what's appropriate, especially around the holidays? Why do you want
to look like a slob? So I'm all behind it, Duffy,

(42:19):
good for you.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Okay, all right, So I want to crunch these numbers
because I know coming up we're gonna do Showtime Mahomes
trivia if you want to, if you want to get
a head start, make sure you're the contestant. Phones are
always hot. In fact, they're all lit. So if you
want to try to sneak in eight seven, seven nine
to nine on Fox, is the number eight seven seven
nine nine on Fox? Now? Would you mind if I
did a little Dare I say? Schedule watching? The rich

(42:45):
loves to look at the schedule, game schedule, watch it
all right, yeah, yeah, yeah. There are, as you know,
seven teams that make the playoffs in the NFC, And
to me, there's eight teams, which means one of these

(43:07):
teams is leaving and going home.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Outisod. We're crunching the NFC right now. We're crunching it,
bro all right, you're like Captain crunch. Let's go the Sagis.
Who are the Sagis? Crunchberries.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Now, let's get it out of the way and say
your playoff teams in lessened some monumental collapse, which doesn't
even seem possible. You got the Eagles winning the NFC East,
the Rams winning I think the NFC West.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
I know you could say, well, they're only your game up.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
I don't know. I feel like they got that right.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
It's bonkers to me that the Buccaneers are still in
the first in the South after losing three in a row.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
You can thank the forty nine Ers for keeping keeping
the Panthers at Bay yep so, and we could also
agree that one team will make it from that division. Right,
So when we crunch these numbers, it's very clear to
me that Eagles, Rams, and NFC South winner. I'm going
to say the box just for the heck of it.

(44:14):
So those are in. They're in, like Flynn, absolutely, four teams,
one more division winner, and three wildcards. Here's the question, now,
who are those teams? Because I'm going to say that
there's four teams left to make it. I'm going to
present you five teams, the forty nine Ers, the Seahawks,

(44:38):
the Bears, the Packers and the Lions. Three NFC North
teams and two teams in the West other than the Rams.
One of those teams ain't making it. What team is
out of the mix?

Speaker 4 (44:54):
All right?

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Hold on, forty nine Ers, Bears.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
No, go.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
First of all, let's go I want to go forty
nine ers in Seahawks first Seahawks. You know what, I
don't know if Dan Byer was being facetious today, but
I was listening to dB and Monsey while I was
taking a shower. I know it sounds weird, but it's not.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
What were you scrubbing when you go the way that?
I just say, IOA, Sam just really held it down today.
What a professional IOA, Sam, You sounded great today. I
thought I was listening to the Sam Show. Really, yeah,
he sounded great. I'm like, who is that? Sam? Like
you were like the whole show for a moment.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
I feel like I've been having common off day. Maybe
it's just because I'm getting out of here for that.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
That's in your head, man. But actually Dan Bayer ranked
the Seahawks like number one. Well he's a Seahawks dam
but let me tell you, oh, but he's really high
on him. Dan Byer knows what he's talking about. I
would say the Seahawks are definitely in that mix.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Risk.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Well, I'm putting the Seahawks in the playoffs. I'll tell
you why, because they have the weakest schedule. They played
the Vikings. I'm gonna say a w Falcons. W. Let's
just said they pick up a loss they play the Colts, right,
Let's do an l even if they lose to the Rams, right,
nol Panthers W That right there brings them to eleven

(46:12):
and five, and even if they lost that last game
to the Niners at the final game of the season,
maybe eleven and six, Seahawks are in. Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Wait, but you know how you always say, what is Vegas?
Know that we don't know? Yeah, what is Bayern? Now
that we don't know? And that's plenty sure. But he
thinks they're top three in the I mean they lost
their they lost the first game of.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
The year to the Niners when they weren't really established
yet on that ball that should have been picked in
the end zone with the Niners snuck by. Besides that,
they lost to the Rams, you know, a couple of
weeks ago. So Seahawks are really good. They're in. I
think the Niners just based on the fact that they
play the Browns and Texans, they could jump out to
ten and four, which means they would just need to

(46:51):
win one of their final three games. Colts Bears, Seahawks
three tough games. But if the Niners win one of
those games. They're eleven and six, and I think that
gets you in. We talked about how eleven and six
get you in, right yep. Then you got to ask
yourself which of the NFC North teams are out? The Packers, Lions,

(47:12):
and Bears. All three teams are not making it.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Danny G do you do you have an instinct of like,
without even looking at who they play, like, is there
a team where you're like, oh, they're on the downwarder upward?

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Like?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Is there?

Speaker 4 (47:23):
I feel like the Packers are gonna get it together
and finish the season strong.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Wow, the Lions. I gotta be consistent, rich I said.
The Bears look like a stock that just continues to
be You said up or down. They continue to keep
going up. They've won four in a row. Now they're
eight and three. I think the Bears are legit.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
This Thanksgiving Day game in two days from now determines
the whole season for the Detroit Lions. If the Detroit
Lions lose on Thanksgiving Day, they've lost seven of the
last eight Thanksgiving Day games. They won last but you
know they've been cold, but they haven't been great.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Old is right?

Speaker 1 (48:03):
So Danny g follow me here. I'll try to make
it as simple as possible. Right now, the Lions are
seven and four. If they lose to the Packers on Thanksgiving,
they'll be seven and five. Seven and five would mean
they would have to then go minimum four and one
to get to that to get to eleven wins. They
played the Cowboys at the Rams, they play the Steelers,

(48:26):
they play the Bears like the Lions. I'm calling it
right now. Lions lose on Thursday, They're season's done. Too
much of an uphill battle because the Bears. But then again,
you can say, well the Bears, you know what they have, Cavino,
you're so hot on them. Black Friday they play the Eagles.

(48:47):
If they beat the Eagles, I think the Bears are
are on the way to being in because they knew
they'd be nine and three. I mean not possible, Cowboys,
but the Bears play the Eagles and Packers the next
two weeks. They can lose two games and be eight
and five. All I'm saying is right now, I want
to put the emphasis for everyone that loves football as
much as we do. The schedule watches as much as

(49:09):
I do. The Lions losing on Thanksgiving would be almost
a nail on their coffin because then they I feel
like they'd have to almost win out.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
So I'll put you know what I'll do.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
I'll make a little chart later Covenio, and I'll post
it on our Instagram at Covine on Rich because I
love schedule watching. I love this stuff, and I know
anything could happen week to week, but their schedule is
real tricky. And the Lions, like you said, I was saying,
without Ben Johnson calling those plays, something's Sam Reporter there,
tight end and Sam Report is out. There's just like something.

(49:44):
Something's a little off. And if they don't find a
way to beat the Packers in two days, it's over.
Sorry Detroit. All right, we have more C and R
and Mahomes joins us. We're gonna do little Showtime Mahomes
Trivia two days ahead of the Chiefs matchup with the
Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. We'll get to all that next
right here on Kavi no Rich. Right now, it's time

Speaker 2 (52:59):
How much is the record setting fine that CBS paid

thirty eight? Whoa Mama? Whoa Mama's right? Hit the pause button?

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Ay?

Speaker 2 (53:14):

thousand dollars or CE two point one million dollars?

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (53:23):
Greg?

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Oh? Greg for the clean sweep A one point two million?
Rich Rich for the steal CEE two point one. No,
you're both losers.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Wait, so you're telling me all that publicity, all that
hubbub and everything for half a million dollars.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
Yeah, that's how much Rich puts into his backyard and
his new swimming right.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
No, I'm just saying, like we're talking about a billion
dollars super Bowl ads?

Speaker 2 (53:46):
What a Super Bowl ads cost?

Speaker 4 (53:48):
Right? Like?

Speaker 1 (53:48):
I think about that you know, show a little nipple,
you get a five hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
A right, five hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and now's
a week moment.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Hey, Pat, I got nipples? Can you milk me? The
TD reception?

Speaker 4 (54:00):
All right? So Greg is still the only one on
the board. Is we go to round three?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Alright? Round three? Show boy, show boy, Life of a showboy?
Mahomes Okay, what was that once quoted saying about arm strength? Hey,
you could have the big arm, and that's good, but
it doesn't help you necessarily win games. B What you

(54:24):
may lack of arm strength you can make up for
with game management skills. Or see, you could have an
amazing arm, but none of that matters in the end
unless the rest are looking out for you.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
Spot what b no, no, be Wrongay?

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Greg?

Speaker 4 (54:54):
I come on, I say we saw a nerve football
and half and mail that to Greg.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
I mean Greg, Greg does probably serve our country.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
I think he deserves it. You thank you, Greg, and
let it be known here on Copino and Rich Chiefs
will be seven and five after this week. All the
speculation is for the birds. You guys are a bunch
of jive turkeys. And we'll be there. Usual suspects, kuys
are so say the chiefs all over analyzed, Continue doing

(55:26):

Speaker 1 (55:28):

Speaker 4 (55:29):
Happy Turkey Day to you, Patrick, Thank you, Thanks to you.
Next week Greg, we salute you, thanks for all you
do for the country, and we'll be mailing you and
your football there in Nevada. All right, thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
I'm looking at the Thursday games. You know, we lucked
out this year. You know a lot of times, like
on Thanksgiving, you're watching just because you know, you're you're
at mom and Dad's house, you're hosting, and it's like, yeah,
it's football, it's Thanksgiving, so you have it on. But
how many times do we sit through like a bunk
like Bears Lions game when both teams were you know,
like under five hundred.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
When those WEAKSS games go on, I'd watch March of
the Wooden Soldiers.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Bro, you're the guy, Yeah, that last movie.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Dude. If you want me to watch Little Giants, why
don't you watch the Thanksgiving classic March of the Wooden Soldiers, Dude,
I rather classic iOS. Sam knows what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
I've actually not seen that movie.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
But I saw an article that was like, are you
trying to watch March of the Wooden Soldiers is Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Click this link to find out how, And I'm like,
also trying to find it, baby, you know what they're
trying to click people, because you know who watches March
of the Wooden Shoulders. It's seventy five year old parents.
March Wooden Shoulders. Yeah, yeah, that's a movie that won't
offend your mom.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
Steve.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Yeah, Laurel and Hardy, Laurel and Hardier in that.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Yeah, it's black and white. It's really good. Yeah, it's
a classic.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Yeah, rather not. But what I was saying was we
usually get those bunk games because you know, traditionally there's
always a couple stinkers on the holidays that you just
watch because you're with family and friends. Right, Packers, Lions.
I told you about the magnitude of this game. Loser
could be that could seel like their playoff fate because
it's going to be so close in the NFC. So

(57:14):
that is a monsterrous game. And that's at one o'clock
on the East coast, ten out here on the West
Chiefs Cowboys. I know it sounds crazy, but the Cowboys
being five to five and one, if they got hot,
they you know, it's not impossible. They're getting hot now,
I think, and the Chiefs need that to stay in
the mix. And Bengals Ravens, you know, the return we

(57:36):
get to the return of Joe Burrow. Is he going
to spoil the Ravens dreams of making this ultimate comeback?
And then Friday Black Friday, Bears and Eagles two eight
and three first place teams. So you really are loaded up.
We are very lucky and thankful for four great games
Thursday and Friday.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
So the chat is poppin' today, dude, and we want
you to be part of it. Covino and Rich FSR
on YouTube shout out to s Day Bond the after Show,
but later Nathaniel richards Man. So many people chiming in today.
Rich is really good to see.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
I love it. So let's keep that channel growing again.
YouTube dot com slash at Covin on Rich FSR, you
could you know again chop it up with other listeners,
other friends.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Zal is what's up? Bradley Sean bow.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Tell, Bradley Gonzalez is a great example of what you
Chris Jones five four six, Cavino, you said, being that
you are half Mexican, you said you love when young
Latino kids have like white guy names. Yes, yes, Bradley Gonzalez, Bradley.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Yeah, so get this, Rich get this. You're talking to
all this Chapman Sonny Gray's in the news.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Nimo spoke for the first time as a Texas Ranger,
and everyone's seemed to be pumped about that. Marcus Simeon
was talking to Keith Hernandez I believe for the Mets.
So yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
Was making my here to the East Coast for Thanksgiving
and I saw a news alert and I'm like, ooh.
Now I was tuning in already, but I feel like
three years ago it really started popping and now you
have to tune in. I'm talking World Baseball Classic March
fifth through the seventeenth, twenty twenty six. Now, as a

(59:21):
Yankees fan, I'm very pumped that Aaron Judges, the captain
of Team USA USA, made it to the finals in
twenty twenty three. Do you remember what happened? Let me
set up the picture. Can I remember how it ended?

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Didn't Mike Trout getting the batter's box, Yes, and on
the mound for Japan. Shoe Heotani, Yes, and show Hey
struck out Mike Trout.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Japan won the World Baseball Classic. But it was a
battle man. It was so cool to see the national
the international pride in the international game as it's growing, right,
Get this. As of yesterday it was announced that show
Hey will be back to represent Team Japan. And do

(01:00:07):
that just raise the stakes? It makes it that much
more exciting. When you got Aaron Judge on Team USA,
when you got show Hey back in Japan, when you
got all these big names and big stars representing their homeland,
their country, and dude, it gives us baseball early March.
How could you not be excited about?

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Dare I say that? I mean, I'm certainly not gonna
make the outlandish statement that no one will care about
March madness. But there's two things going on in March
that to me are way more interesting than the first
round or so of the NCAA tournament. And that is
number one. The World Baseball Classic and flag football.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Flag football is blowing up so true.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
The NFL players playing flag football, yeah, Tom Brady involved
all that. That and the World Baseball Classic, Yeah, I mean,
maybe the final four I'll watch, But like, are you, like,
what do you rather watch the Round of thirty two? Yes? Yes, absolutely,
brackets are at stake.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Well, let me let me at least explain my side
here the World Baseball Classic.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
On, Hold on, Sam, you really rather watch like Northern
Whatever State versus Really.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
I will be watching March Madness over both of those,
especially flag football people are people.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Are fanatical and crazy about college basketball for sure, bed
Taste can't blame you. Well, let me just say.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
That I was more of a college basketball fan than
a baseball fan, So I get that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
I get that, But I was down with WBC since
the first year, right and no one seemed to care.
But we've seen it grow and that series in twenty
twenty three was so electric. Team Mexico Electric USA was
in it, Japan won it, Dominican Republic is always big,
Puerto Rico is always tough. You've seen all these teams

(01:01:50):
and we've seen the sport become an international sport where
I think this next one is going to be next
level exciting. And when I heard show He's in, I'm like,
oh man, this is going to be incredible. So I'm
just trying to get people pumped. There's so much going
on in the NFL and NBA and everything else that
the show Hay story I feel like went under the radar.

(01:02:11):
And I have to ask Dandy G too. Danny G
as a Dodgers fan, is that concern you at all?
Do you want him to not overextend himself because they
go all out when when country and pride is on
the line.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Yeah? My question is is he going to be pitching
for them?

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
He was last time.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Yeah, that's a little worrisome, but you know, other than that,
other than that, it's yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
I was looking at Team USA's roster, and again, I'm
not a huge college hoops fan, so to me, this
is great. I mean, I'll watch you neat Superstars, Rich,
I'll watch March madthis, But to be honest, college sports
is my is my uh my my least interest.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Why does the slam Dunk contest not work anymore because
there's no Superstars? You know, certain things don't work as
the Stars sit it out or the roll ball.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
I was just looking at the baseball roster for Team
USA as of now, it's not official yet, but you
got Aaron Judges, the captain, Paul Skeen's on the mound, sick,
Cal Rowley's playing, Bobby Wit, Bobby Witt junior PCA. There's
a few I'm just wondering.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
And where we're so divided as a nation, right, Yeah,
this is the the USA team you need to rally around, Danny,
What do you want to show that we are still
the best? I can't wait for this.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
Would you want to see I know they're not it
doesn't look like they're there now, But would you want
a Mookie or Freddy to face off against Otani?

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Would that give you interest? Does a Dodgers say to
imagine that?

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
Yeah, that's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
I think it's kind of cool for sure, man, seeing
like my dude.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
Probably. I'm sure Francisco Lindora is going to play for
his home country. Everyone you know, is Juan Soto involved?
That wother who's gonna play? I'm gonna look up the
rosters later. But the simple fact, cave you know that
the World Baseball Classic added Otani.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
When you have the biggest player in baseball two Judge
and Otani, but Otani, especially when you have an international
superstar saying yeah, I'm in the rest will come that,
you know? So it doesn't matter. And that was big
news in my world and in my mind yesterday. And
I'm just trying to get you pumped because you know
it'll be here before you know it. March fifth World

(01:04:06):
Baseball Classic twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
It's so funny people Sean bo hit us up and
he goes, Guys that are originally from the East Coast
love baseball so much. He's like, he goes, it's just
a thing. And NCAA Torment is one of the best
events at all sports. That's from n dubs and uh yeah,
not just people debating what's the bigger draw. I'm not naive.
I guess it's March Madness. But trust me, WBC, you
gonna be hot.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
All right. We'll see you guys tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Until then, a Riven there chee baby, see you in
the promise every Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Goodbye, guys,
