Speaker 1 (01:52):
But Rich, yes, buddy, we're going over things that made
you go hm. Right now, get into your phone calls.
At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Any observation
you made this weekend. It could be a movie you saw,
it could be something fight related, basketball related, but mostly
football related, because that's what we're really getting to the

(02:13):
bottom of be honest, that's what everyone was really focused on.
Well not really, you know what I did. And by
the way, by the way, this hour giving away prizes,
so stand by playing our favorite game, Last One Standing
in a few minutes, So stick around eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox Rich besides football.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
You know what I did this weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I know what you did, and I was gonna bring
it up later on the show, so if you want to,
if you want to bring it up now. You watched
a movie with your mom, didn't you. Ah, yeah, I
read your mind. I read your mind and it was
I saw you posted this on Instagram and I felt
like what you posted related to every human on earth.

(02:54):
You watched a movie with your mom and you said
that me because I have a question, Okay, I have
a question. Is it every mom is generational? Or is
it just because my mom's Mexican and that's just how
Mexican moms are, or is it like a she's getting
old enough? I think this is ringo mom's black moms,
white mom, any moms the way what you described, please

(03:16):
tell everyone because this is I agree. So my mom
huge Wizard of Oz fan, huge, her favorite movie made
a big deal about it. Our entire life, right, our
entire childhood. Mom, you gotta watch Wicked because it's streaming now.
Put on Wicked. She's lost from the very get go

(03:38):
of the movie, asking a million questions, who's that?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's that? What's going on? Who's that guy?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I don't get it? This song stinks. This guy's ugly.
Right do we know him?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Mom?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
We don't know him yet. We don't know him yet.
How do you know him? Well, you know deductive reasoning? Mom,
she called him dad, so clearly it's his dad, right,
you know, So you know she's asking a million.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Questions, where jar see?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So then she's talking the whole time, hold on the
whole time that no, I'm not saying, you're pausing it,
and you're trying to explain, but you're getting frustrated because
you want her to like it, and you're trying to
be patient and she's not following.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And then the movie ends, she's like, I hated it.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's like, well, because you did stop talking the entire
I couldn't follow it because you were talking the entire time.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Wait, that's the end.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's the end of the story. That's it. Wait, so
that's part one what happened?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And like, oh dude, it's the most frustrating thing. So
you introduce this magical movie that you're hoping your mom
can enjoy, and she just stops all. She did the
Mexican hat dance all over the movie.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
And hated it.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
You let your mom know that, like the world seemed
to love Wicked, except yeah, okay, she did not. She
hated everybody in it, didn't like the songs, didn't get
the plot, couldn't wrap her head around the Step prequel.
But honestly, bro it was so funny that I couldn't
even be like mad or disappointed. But it made me say, hmm,
in a sense that is it all moms? Is it

(05:04):
generational or is it just my mom? I think a
lot of moms talk through the movie, and they do
point out two things. Number One, they talk throughout it
and then wonder why they're not following bam, And my
mom will.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Always be like, who's that.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I'm like, I'm sure you'll figure it out if you
don't know the character. Mom, I'm gonna tell you here's
how movies and TV shows usually work. Maybe in the
next scene it'll dawn on you who that person is
based on I don't know, the conversation, the plot. Yeah, no, dude,
you know, and it made me think, like just the
style of movie, like the general the older generation needs

(05:41):
to be spoon fed on everything that's going on. They
just absorbed that differently. It's so wild, dude, it's the
wildest experience. I had a laugh observation for you that
all moms are paying the ass watching movies. They can't
sit through it without trying to narrate it and ask
a million questions. Social media thinks football is rigged, which

(06:01):
it's like, just so ridiculous to me. I saw a
meme that said, what makes Swifties even more annoying is
that they've never lost a Super Bowl. Like imagine learning
football because you like Taylor Swift and like, oh my god,
here Travis is r guy that that fan has never
not seen their team win. Meanwhile, there's so many fan
bases that have never even tasted victory. Any thoughts on

(06:26):
what Jonas Knox was talking about in that promo because.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I noticed it. What was Chris Jones crying about?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
That was hilarious?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Do you think it's just so emotional to get there again?
And you know, just to maybe realize that could be
your last run, This could be your last run, your
headache to the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I want to see Jonahs say that to his face. No,
but did it make you say?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I want to see Jonas go up to Chris Jones
and be like, yeah, why are you crying?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I mean we all noticed it.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Emotion in sports is the thing you're about to possibly
threepeat and you are a key component to that team's defense.
In fact, remember the one game like a year ago
where they started the season without him and they're like, oh,
we need Chris Jones get this done.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I like the emotion, dude, and.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
You never know when it hits you, right, Like, we
don't know what's going on in his life, he's had
that somehow this struck him emotionally. Another layer of this
which is interesting to me, Mahomes is around for quite
a bit. He's a thirty year old guy, not even thirty, right,
twenty nine.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Twenty nine?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, I think the.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Story in your mind on Andy Reid and Travis Kelcey
if they three peete, do they keep going or is
there that thought of now we've done it all. Andy
Reid could retire, But what if he has a thirst
for coaching. Travis Kelcey has one hundred million dollar podcast deal.
He's with Taylor Swift. If they get engaged, maybe he
wants to start a family. Like there's so many layers

(07:50):
as too. If they win, does a big part of
the Chiefs go away? Like do we almost want do
we root for the Chiefs in lieu of knowing that
if they win then it's sort of.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, Mahomes is far from done, so he's not rooting
for that.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
I know.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I'm just saying, you know what my mom said to that.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh my god, speaking of broccoli heads, I bet you
Mahomes is the first guy to rock the broccoli head
out pack. A haircut very well, could be maybe, But
those are all things that we took away from this weekend.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I got two more.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Can we all agree that James Cook reaching for the
end zone will go down in history as one of
the greatest plays that ended up not mattering. Remember when
Endy Chavez and the Mets reached over the wall in
Game seven of the NLCS, and it might have been
one of the greatest catches you've ever seen in your life.
But the Mets lose, So the catch means nothing. When

(08:49):
someone does something miraculous in a game where they lose,
it's it's it goes from wow to man who cares?
And on fourth and goal, the way James Cook battled
for that touchdown, we'll go unnoticed forever. No one will
ever mention it again. After today, our recap of it
might be the last jell over here of it. But

(09:10):
if they went on to win the super Bowl, that
would have been part of a montage forever. I don't
want to spoil the fun because we're trying to get
you hype for the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
We're gonna be out.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
There in New Orleans interviewing everybody, being at all the events.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
So it's an exciting time for us.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
But Rich did point out, now that we know who's
playing and the super Bowl stage is set, you were
saying off the air that when you think about Kendrick Lamar,
you're just kind of disappointed with the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I know that's a polarizing thought.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm sort of just poking the bear right now because
you did say that off the air.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh no, I listen.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
I think Kendrick Lamar is the worst choice of Super
Bowl halftime acts in a long time. Not because I
won't enjoy Kendrick Kamar. I always speaking about your mom
watching Wicked. I call it the mom test. Your mom
knows who Beyonce is, Your mom knows who Doctor Dre is.
Your mom knows who Rihanna is. And your mom knows
who Lady gat Guy is, and Katy Perry and Maroon

(10:14):
five and the Who and the Roman String and but
your family knows it. You and people younger will be like, oh,
Kendrick Lamar. But you think your mom and dad and
your aunt and uncle are gonna be like, oh, yeah,
Kendrick Lamar. He's the biggest hip hop artist. But the
world of music is more niche than ever before that

(10:34):
you're not hearing a lot of Kendrick Lamar on your
kiss fms and serious Hits one channels and stuff. So
my point is, I think overall the ratings will be huge,
but there's a lot of people This is the lamest
sentiment of all I've seen people on social media say,
I'm just not gonna watch.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Not gonna watch. What type of loser do you need
to be?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
You sound like?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
You sound like my uncle Tommy, who went to bed
before New Year's hit that guy.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's my uncle Thomas. He is the lamest guy. I'm
going to bed. He's the lamest woman.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
The same person that's like, I'm not staying up for midnight.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
That was always as a kid growing up. He was
always the weakest dude in the family. Because of that,
I'm like, wait a second, you mean you're not staying
up to watch the New Year. Really, you're going to
bed bed Going to sleep by yourself is more exciting
than like introducing the New Year. That's how I feel
about you not watching the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm gonna hit the hay. You can't wait an hour.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
In twelve minutes, you're tuning out on some weird protests
because you don't care about the Chiefs, Eagles or Kendrick Lamar.
The rest of the world is going to be watching,
but there still seems to be that sentiment. I have
heard a few people say, well, I'm not watching, like
you're not watching, and then I'm thinking to myself, I watching.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
You're not a fan at all. In my opinion.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
If you told me, oh, I'll watch, but I'll be
at a Super Bowl party, I'll casually watch and I'll
check it out but I'm not honed in. I could
one hundred percent understand that I get one hundred I
get one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Reheat the Buffalo Chicken did.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, I don't want to watch it.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
I was saying, I can one hundred percent understand someone
being like, yeah, I'm not going to be locked in.
Maybe I'll be doing a little more chit chat and
you know, eating food in the kitchen and you.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Know, I'll keep my eye on it.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
But to say you're going to skip the super Bowl,
skip the game, halftime, the commercials, everything about what is
really a very American holiday.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Essentially, it is like, what do you like? What are
you trying to prove?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
What contrarian moronic behavior is that, Oh I'm not gonna watch.
Oh god, It's like the people that say they're gonna
move if their candidate doesn't win, like.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Midnight.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And I've seen a lot of this on social media,
but we do have a mutual friend that said it's
the first time in their life that they're just not
going to watch.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's like, yeah, what do you what are you proving
with that?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
And every other friend on that group chat hit me
up individually being like, what's his deal?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, like, what are you doing? It's a weird stance,
it really is.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
So, you know, let's start with Josh in Ohio. Your
thoughts will wrap it up. Things that made you go, hmmm.
I can't imagine it could be a matchup of the
because this really is the matchup of teams that people
may not want to see win.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Was you going to watch the Super Bowl? It's a
super Bowl? Come on? What are you doing? And your
big observations from the games? What's up? Josh?

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. I just had
I wanted your opinion on something made me go? But
was that James Cooks play at the goal line more
impressive than Devin Hester's returning the opening kickoff and not
winning the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I mean it's they're such different plays, but they're in
the same category of, you know, great moments that really
loss wins.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Though that was the Super Bowl that was awesome.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, but this was the ANFC Championship fourth and Goald
coming the States, but both amounted to nothing, you know,
so just memorable moments. But I think being the Super
Bowl and a kickoff return, I think that was bigger
hold on Dan Bayer not to rub it in But
when the Seahawks lost that terrible Super Bowl to the
Patriots who made an acrobatic sideline catch that.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
We see, I din't forget his name.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Who is Jermaine Curse.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, Jermaine Curse made what would have been if the
back of my point, if the Seahawks had repeated that
Jermaine Curse catch would have went down in history as
like the David Tyree like. It would have been magical. Yep, correct,
Magical moments are lost when your team doesn't win. James Cook,
Welcome to the world of Endy Chavez, Jermaine Cursed.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
You know, and such. Let's go to the Yeah, Evan Hester,
Noah and Maine, what's up? Noah?

Speaker 6 (14:43):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (14:44):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Heyboddy?

Speaker 6 (14:46):
The thing that I have two things that made me
go him and go off to your point. Go back
to the Patriots Egos Super Bowl from a few years ago.
Brady threw for five hundred yards that everybody remembers the
game as the backup who beat Brady and the Super
Bowl like as great as it was. But the other
thing that made me go m more recently this weekend

(15:06):
is just how predictable play calling from the Bills was.
I mean, after that first Toushbush showed that they weren't
going to give that play up. So in the fact
that McDermott didn't make any changes, Allan balled out of
his mind and did not make any changes or adjustments
to that. Because I'm loading up on the line on
the Tousch Bush, it makes you wonder if McDermott deserves

(15:30):
to have his job in Buffalo after yesterday.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Listen, you could argue as a field goal game and
it got out coached by Andy Reid. I mean, there's
no shame in that, but you know, you eventually want
a different outcome. It's now four times in the postseason
with these two similar teams that you're looking at four
to zero, zero and four. There's no you know, put
on your thinking cap for a second in our lifetime.

(15:54):
When I say our lifetime, let's you round it. You know,
since the eighties, do you remember one team standing in
someone else's way that much like this is up there
with like MJ stopping teams. This is up there with
like you know, until Steve Young won, it seemed like
the Cowboys just wouldn't let the Niners get by, and
as a Ninersan I remember hating like man Emmitt Smith

(16:15):
and Akman and Irvin the Niners can't beat this team,
you know, I mean, I'll take it to a different sport.
Tyson stopped so many people from being champion. He was
just that guy the clitch Goes didn't let anyone be
a champion for over ten years.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Do you be anyone else come to mind?

Speaker 8 (16:30):
Well, you know, Nick Wright, first things first, has pointed
out that it's the Curse of the Bills and the
Curse of the Pat Mahomes trade that allowed the Chiefs
to trade up in draft Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
The deal was done by the Buffalo.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
Bills, similar to Scavino knows Curse of the Bambino.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
And for how long that took?

Speaker 8 (16:47):
And obviously now we know that the Red Sox finally
broke through. However the one hundred years or whatever it was,
the eighty years that had happened, I.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Mean nineteen eighteen to two thousand and.

Speaker 8 (16:58):
Four, yes of ours, so yeah, and Nick Gritz planted
out that that's the trade that the Bills made allowed
with the Chiefs, allowed the Chiefs to draft Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Ice I saw on social media, you know, you see
all these little clips floating around now of like, oh,
if this team would have done this or drafted this guy.
Have you seen the most beneficial loss of all It
was a couple of years ago. It was a year ago,
two years ago now, where the Jets won and beat
the Commanders on a meaningless field goal, like both teams

(17:33):
were not good, can you know? And they beat the
Jets had beat Commanders on a meaningless field goal and
had that field goal, which it was like a fifty
plus ure field goal. That just made it if that's different.
The Commanders go from two to i think five or
six in that draft, and they're saying no Jade and Daniels,
So that the Jets, who can never help themselves, helped

(17:54):
the Commanders move up enough to get Jade and Daniels.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
So all these little things are you know, it's all
butterfly effect.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
At the end of the day, Hey, rich can I
call you on one more thing you said in our
pre show meeting? Yeah, just to have you explained yourself.
I wrote it down because I'm like, ooh, you said,
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
This is the weakest Super Bowl ever.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I'm sorry, this is my voice. It was Super Bowl ever. Well,
weakest in that ever, that's what I said. Let me
explain again in the same breath. We're trying to find
reasons to be excited. We can keep down and there's
a part of him that feels that way weakest super
Bowl for the casual fan. Let me let me make

(18:39):
it clear. I'm not taking I'm not taking back what
I said. But it doesn't it doesn't contradict what you said.
We're trying to find the best reasons to be excited.
This could be you know, either Saquon Barkley going down
as one of the best trades of all time, best
acquisitions and you know them hosting Lombardi, or history being
made with my home.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
So to say it's the worst, it's not the.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Worst from that standpoint. From a football standpoint, you got
a great game. When I said the worst, I meant
the worst. From that, there's no real like feel good
root for this guy. Like if the Lions or Bills
are in it, that's a feel good story. If you
know Rock Purdy rookie going against Mahomes, that's a story.
You know the Rams they got Stafford and they could

(19:21):
they do it. There's always a story. Yo, Joe Burrow.
I find there to be no real like a bugger,
you know, there's no heart tugger. It's really are we
are we rooting for dominance or rooting for an unlikable
fan base to be happy because we like say Kwon Barkley.

Speaker 8 (19:37):
It reminds me a little bit of Super Bowl fifty three,
not exact parallels, but when it was the Patriots and Rams.
We were sick of the Patriots, who was their third
in a row. Yeah, and the Rams didn't have anything
that would really make you grab on to them.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Plus they were new to LA.

Speaker 8 (19:54):
And the difference is is that Eli's fan base was
still trying to, I guess, get adjusted to the Rams
being back in LA. And maybe it wasn't as big
as it was and obviously isn't close to what Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
But that's what that was.

Speaker 8 (20:08):
That was the disappointment that I felt was that Super
Bowl when I felt what I felt last night.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
dB Rich Fox Sports Radio Nation, Speaking of Brady.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Does it make you say, when you see, you.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Know, Brady calling all these games and giving his insight
on the Super Bowl outcome, do you think there's a
part of him that.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Wants Mahomes to lose?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Because it does put him in a different category that
even Brady couldn't accomplish. I meant down the competitive set
of side. It is probably like, yo, slow down, young buck.
I don't like stay at three because four each one's
hard to get right, He's just getting closer and closer,
like and he's not even thirty yet, So you know,
I'm sure Brady's like, yeah, young Buck, you can lose one.

(20:52):
But you know, base on all you're saying, and you
and dB saying the unfavorable matchups for a fan bases.
The worst World Series ever dB for me as a
Mets fan was nine when the Yankees played the Phillies.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I remember Mets fans being like, I can we root
for like cancelation?

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Like can we root for like this like a strike
or something like that?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
What are we doing here? So I can see where
some people.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Are like oh Eagles fans versus Oh Swifties like BA
all right, well, Fox Sports Radio Nation, if you want
to chime in on that, hit us up at Covino
and Rich. But if you want to play a game
and win a prime, let's do this. I got to
play last one standing. Now's your chance to call and
win call now at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (29:33):

Speaker 2 (29:33):
But it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
You still the last one standing.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Wow, I sweat. Yeah, that is such a goofy question,
but in awesome. I love it. I think it's a
great one. Wins.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
You don't even know your old team if they haven't organists,
because I've seen I've seen a guy play the piano
at City Field like he like a keyboard.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
But I guess he's not an official organist.

Speaker 9 (29:54):
So yeah, there's baseball fans at certain cities yelling.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
At the radio the Twins.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
So yeah, you said the.

Speaker 9 (29:59):
Swis, Red, Reds, Yes, Diamondbacks, Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
And Braves.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Wow, it's a fun fact less than I thought though
when we got three. Hey, John, thanks for bringing the fun. Buddy.
That's good.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Hey, thank you.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
No, thank you, buddy.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Boy.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Keep that good construction work up. Man, you can have
a lot of work. Yeah, I appreciate you guy.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
We'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Later, buddy.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
All right, thank you guys. It's great to be a champion.
Crazy eights. That's Rich's eighth victory. Look at that move
over time I move over, Brady move over by her.
He thought he's coming for you. Let's go to Dan
buy for an update, dB, what's going on.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
I can't believe I missed Washington the first one, because
I had a question in the game that we play
on Sundays during my show that would have said Washington.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Easy as one two three four A.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know, I know one of the great scores they
lost to your Raiders, Danny G thirty eight to nine.
It's one of my favorite core memories as a child
because my dad had eight and nine in his box
pool and I was a little boy and he was explaining,
all Buddy, the terrible numbers, I'll never win, and my
dad won.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
So thirty eight nine.

Speaker 8 (31:07):
That was one of Raiders to beat the Seahawks in
the AFC Championship Game to advance to that Super Bowl.
So the Raiders also introduced a new head coach today
and it's Pete Carroll.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
I'm so proud to be part of that and recognizing
that we get to represent our following and here in
Las Vegas to do it in this setting right here
where people can't wait to come see us, They can't
wait to see what we're all about. We do want
to fill our stadium up with our guys. I know
we have a good draw for people.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Amount of time.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Here you go, here you go, That's what I'm talking about. Hey,
Mark settled down a.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
Little bit that it's actually Mark Seawn Lynch yelling the
Raiders in the background as Carol was introduced along with
new GM John Spytech. Cowboys introduced Brian Schottenheimer as their
new head coach. Former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is
expected to be their new defensive coordinator in Dallas. Aaron
Glenn is the new head coach of the New York Jets.
Jets owner Woody Johnson said he'd be four Aaron Rodgers

(32:01):
returning next season, saying the ultimate decision is up to
Glenn in the front office. Glenn did say they had
communication with Rogers recently, but no decision has been made
on his return for next year. And the Jaguars introduced
Liam Cohen is their new head coach. It was a
weird twist and turn last week when Cohen dropped out
of the running for the job, was going to go
back to Tampa, but then the Jaguars fired GM Trent

(32:23):
Balk and Cohen is now the head coach in Jacksonville.
Here's Jaguars owners shot Cohn and why he decided to
fire his old general manager.

Speaker 10 (32:31):
You know, after the ten video interviews were done and
we were ready for that was a transition, transition point
for me to reflect and what was the right thing
for the organization and that's when I decided that it
was time for a change.

Speaker 8 (32:44):
Ravens gave offensive coordinator Todd Montkin a contract extension. Steelers
owner Art run in the second says he believes they'll
bring back outther Russell Wilson or Justin Fields next season,
but wouldn't bring both quarterbacks next year. And the Miami
Heat are suspending Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out
of the team shoot around when he was notified he
was being replaced in the starting lineup. And in college hoops,

(33:04):
University of Florida's closed their title line investigation of men's
basketball coach Todd Golden after they found no evidence supporting
allegations of stalking and sexual harassment that were made by
multiple people against Golden guys.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Back to you, yeah, Dan Bayer, is Robert Sala on
your pay me no mind list, because no shout out
for the defending for the defensive coordinator coming back?

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Is that official official?

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Or what?

Speaker 6 (33:27):
Well?

Speaker 3 (33:27):
It was last week? That wasn't on fire.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
It happened over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, yeah, because I was gonna say forty nine fans
pumped about that, because well.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
You guys live in the past. I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, damn uh, but yeah, you know what it's uh,
Robert Tell has the ability again if he didn't get
a head coaching job. It's an interesting thing dB pointed
out last week where he goes back to where he
was and he had success. The Niners defense has slipped
since he left, so he has the ability to look

(33:59):
good and bring them back. Or if it doesn't look
good second time around, who knows if he'll ever get
a second shot as a head coach.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Everybody's three four years older.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, that's the only problem, the problem with forty nine ers.
But they do have the weakest schedule in the history
of the world next year, so we shall see. All right,
so many cool things to look forward.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
To next year already, right, all right, Hey, we got
more Covine on Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (34:22):

Jump?

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh yeah, and the and the Super Bowl and the
and the game and the halftime show with all the
fun that. Yeah, I wanted to run side about you guys.
We talked a lot of NFL today, a lot of
Super Bowl. Let me let me throw a story by
you guys that it just I don't know if I'm
a sucker or if it's something you just got to
do as a parent. So to put in perspective, my

(37:09):
daughter seven, I've coached her girls softball team when she
was doing six U t ball, the whole deal. My
son is about to be five, so he starts his
first season of t ball. So much like most people
listening to their parents, your weekends are spent gymnastics, dance, flag, football, basketball,
little league, everything.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
It's with you.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
If you got little kids, you realize your life is
not yours at all. On the weekend, you are just
at the mercy of all this other crap of kids.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
They said, exactly. So I told.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
My wife, I promise you, babe, I'm not going to
get sucked in to coaching and managing. Kevin always mocks this.
The manager is the person that runs a team. You
got to carry the equipment, you run the schedule, you
run the practices. A coach is It's like a parent
could assistant coach and help out.

Speaker 9 (38:02):
Yeah, base coach, that's what I said. I'm ramos told
you years ago, just be a base coach.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Oh Ramos, I missed that advice, John Ramos. So I
told my wife, I promise you, since we have our
son playing little league on Saturdays and my daughter playing
softball on Saturdays, I will not be a manager.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I promise.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
I'm gonna assistant coach and I'm gonna make sure I
want to help my son and my daughter. You know,
every dad's trying to go above and beyond.

Speaker 9 (38:28):
I know, and I know you uphold all your promises
to your wife.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
So I go to the girls softball little draft and
their little assessment on Saturday, and all the moms and
the people that run the league did the whole Well,
we wanted to have an extra team for girls EIGHTU,
but well we're just shorthanded. If we can only get
one more manager, one other really generous willing parents, don't

(38:56):
tell me, and whatever parent that is, let me tell
you that we have a coaches and a great support staff.

Speaker 9 (39:02):
You know, it's like you know in cartoons where the
person would turn into a big lollipop because they're sucker
across them. That's exactly what they saw when they saw Rich.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
So they look at this guy, all these like all
these rough moms that are like that. You know, these
women are all business. They suckered the hell out of me.
I am now managing. Ah, I'm now managing my daughter's
team again. So I'm I I drafted a team, so
I am now running another eight under girls softball team.

(39:33):
But I said to him, I go, you know, my
son also plays on Saturday, so I'm not gonna I
have to let you know there'll be times where I
can't be here. And they're like, it's okay, you'll have
your assistance. I call the little league that my son's
playing for and I go, hey, you know I said
I was gonna help you guys, assistant coach, do you

(39:53):
know what time the games are? Because I don't want
the games. I want to know if they're going to
conflict a lot with my daughters. So what time are
the keyball boys usually play? And they go, well, we're
scrambled with the schedule because one of the dads dropped out.
We're looking for a dad to manage the boy's t ball.
I'm like, well, what are you looking for? Well, what

(40:14):
time is that? They go, Well, the manager of the
team could sort of dictate what time of the day
those games are played. I go, what, so if I
take on a boy's t ball team, you could assure
me that those games would all be Saturday afternoon. They're like, well, yes,
if you might be willing to do this, I go,

(40:37):
if you tell me the games are in the afternoon,
I think we got a deal. So now I had
to call my wife, who I promised that I would
not manage my daughter's team, and now tell her that
I'm not only managing my daughter's softball team every Saturday morning.
I made it so that Saturday afternoons is what my

(40:58):
son's games are. That I am now doing all of that,
but they won't be a conflict. So double, you're giving
up your entire Saturday correct to be a coach?

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Correct? But every dad?

Speaker 9 (41:14):
When Tom Brady refused to retire and went back to
playing just so he could avoid his family because he hated.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Them, I mean, I feel like, you know, I justify
it by saying my kids are only this age once. Sure,
but I'm such an ass. I'm such a sucker for this.
But what was I going to do?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Spot?

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Rich, what was I gonna do?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
We're also only once?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Here?

Speaker 9 (41:33):
Give me, let's give it a whirl, just go like this.
No thank you all you have to do, no thank you.
Thank I'm busy, no thank you, dude.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
The parents listening, they know, they know the pressure no
thank you put on These parents love it all.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Right, well, hey, you love them, you love it. Have
a great Monday night, Coach Rich signing off. Maybe see
you in the promise Li
