Speaker 1 (01:34):
For the fight tomorrow. You proud of me for what?
Not gambling yet? Yeah? You really haven't. Nope, not a dime.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And Rich's wife actually gave him the green light to
go ahead and gamble little Benny's college fund.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know when you turn to your significant other hoping
they say one thing. Yeah, I turned to my wife
and I said, you know, we got a really action packed,
great time coming up for Fox. It's to me, Cavino,
Dandy g We're gonna be in Vegas, New Orleans, eating,
drinking money. And my I said to my wife and go, you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Know what I think when we're in Vegas, I'm gonna
lay low and maybe I won't gamble and just I'll
just chill. She's like, yeah, but you work so hard,
you deserve it. Have fun. I'm like, why would you
say that, Ah, you were a kid. I was like,
I wanted. I was waiting for my wife to be
like probably a good idea, and she's like, no, have fun.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So basically, if he wasn't on the casino floor gambling,
he was probably in his room doing something weird.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So it's not like he was upstairs being an angel, right,
So I don't know if that's weird. Yeah, he's either way,
he's doing something devious. Trust me.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The velvet Wolf fridge, Davis by the way, Cavino, Spotty's here,
Danny g thank you. You just transition my You blame
yourself because you say things, and then when I go
on a tangent, don't blame me, blame he said.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Hotel rooms dev and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I just read an article about what not to do
if you're traveling in a hotel, and you're saying, in
a hotel, what not to do, Yeah, don't lay on
the bedspread.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
They don't wash them in most places. Maybe here at
the MGM in New York, New York.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They do, but most places they don't wash the beds
par They're saying, you know those.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's true because they just change out the sheets.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know, the glasses in the bathroom that you probably
put your toothbrush in or something.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They're saying, don't count on them washing them like you like,
don't think like, oh clean glass like that might be there.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And I always see on social media is supposed to
tape over the autlets because that's where the hidden cameras are.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The other one I saw was do not just grab
the remote control. Wipe down the remote if you have
any type of wipe what they said, the remote control
might be the dirtiest thing in a hotel room.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You know. I saw a comedian or most people stick them.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You know, dude, Eric di Alessandro, he's like an East
Coast Italian kid. He goes, what is it with remote controls?
We don't need them smaller? He goes, Not like we're
packing them up and taking them on the road with us.
Why did they keep making them small for anything? Make
them bigger because we always lose them. You don't need
remote controls to be smaller and smaller and smaller.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Are you packing them up for the plane ride? Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The Roku remote now is honestly like three inchest. Yeah,
he's like, it's not a cell phone. We don't need
a smaller. He goes, if anything, make it bigger because
you always lose it. But anyway, thank you guys for
being here on the show. We're in Vegas. Crazy thoughts,
crazy things happen, crazy people's not buy And I do
want to say this a big thanks to Brian Custer
for stopping by. He's the guy that calls the fights.
(04:20):
He's the guy you've seen hosting Sports Center. You see
him at every fight. If you don't know fall on
social media. Guy knows what he's talking about. And he's
a good dude. And we worked with him over ten
years ago. And to see him do his thing on
a on a big level and see us come up,
it's been cool for us and it's cool to catch
up with him. So big shout out and thanks again
to Brian Custer. I was gonna ask him, we don't
(04:42):
have time. Maybe we'll ask Jim Lampley on our bonus show.
If Benavitez wins, and it looks like he is, but
who knows anything could happen is by mean, this is
a closer odds than most fights we've covered. And usually
you're the guy that's like, bro, anyone's gonna punch your chance.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He's only a.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Minus two one hundred ish underdog, a favorite. I mean,
so it's not like Benavidez is just going to stroll.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Through this fight.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well, the winner of this fight fights the winner of
Beevil better beev later. This, by the way, morals undefeated
as well. Exactly, so who does he think wins that fight?
And I wanted to know which is the better fight,
Canello Crawford or Canelo Benavitez because those are the two
fights that people always talk about. And to me, when
(05:27):
you see how big Benavidez is, I think Canello Crawford.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Is the better fight.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I mean, you constantly point out that, well, Canelo seems unbeatable.
Anytime he's gone up, is that's when he's lost, Yeah,
because you lose your power.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's he's five foot seven, dude. You know these guys
are big.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Benavidez is six foot two and he walks around at
two hundred pounds. Canelo's not that big. So anyway, thank you,
again to Brian Custer. We'll talk to Jim Lampley about
it here and if you have any thoughts. Eight seven
to seven ninety nine on Fox, we got to talk
about records being broken because today is a very special
ace frying Friday before a fight weekend light seventy eight candles,
(06:04):
seventy eight candles for.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Who one of the greats of all time.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
In fact, when we talk about the Goats, it's a
name that we often don't bring up, but we probably should.
You know why we don't bring them up.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'll tell you why. Because he never wont to say young.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's like the random fun fact that didn't be the
But you're right that you know early on is a
met Yes, but as an angel, as an astro, as
a ranger, never won a world series. He won on
that sixty nineteen. Yeah he was a young kid. Yeah,
but that was like a non factor. Nolan Ryan, Nolan
Ryan turns seventy eight today.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And he probably still throws gas. Same number of punches too.
He hit Robin vent.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's a candle for every punch to Ventura's head.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
And if you've you know, seen that documentary Facing Nolan,
which was fantastic. I urge you to check that out. Honestly,
it's a great watch. If you're a sports fan, you'll
enjoy it. I think you don't even need to be
because he talks about how his wife really kept him
in baseball. He was going to quit after the Mets
when he was contemplating what's my next move. He's a
farmer type of guy. He's like, his passion is ranching, ranching.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, he's to ranching.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
When they said, Nolan Ryan, you're in New York and
now we're sending you to southern California to play for
the Angels, he was like, Yanna, I think I'm done.
And his wife's like, Nolan Baseball, it's your passion.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It was the story behind every great man is a
great woman. It really was. That was the story. If
you watch his documentary, you realize this guy was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And not only was he just throwing gas. You know,
the rumor is that at one point, if the radar
guns were the way they are today, it would have
been like one hundred and eight like his strikeout record.
If you go to Fox Sports, Instagram and Twitter, in
honor of Nolan Ryan, they put up unbreakable records, and
they said Nolan Ryan's fifty seven fourteen five, seven hundred
(07:58):
and fourteen strikeouts could arguably be the most unbreakable baseball record.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
For so many reasons too. I mean the longevity.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
The guy had. Do a little quick search of rule
niny years. He played over twenty years.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Can I give you a little quick quiz?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And the dude was playing pitching nine innings, you know,
at a time.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Give me the time and era of complete games. Give
me number two.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't want to play on the spot, but number two,
number two all time strikeouts, number two, lefty, Yeah you're
asking me, Yeah, number two, all time behind number Okay,
Randy Johnson correct on Wendel and he has forty eight hundred,
(08:42):
almost a thousand less strikeouts. So when you took sorry
for the pause there, I wasn't sure what rich was
asking me. But yeah, that's that's insane. Randy Johnson, who
we all saw the big unit so dominant in his era.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Is still so far behind. Noelan Runnan said, was my
question tough? Who's number two? Did you think? I said,
who does number two work? For number two work?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I just was looking at riginally, what does he want
from me? Who's number two? I thought you were asking
me to ask you something. But anyway, Randy Johnson comes
to mind immediately when you think of the rocket. Roger
Clemens is number three with forty six hundred. You're talking
about some of the best ever have like a thousand
less strikeouts, So you could argue that his strikeout record, well,
hold on, put this in perspective. The milestone for strikeouts
(09:31):
it's probably different now.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I wouldn't even know what it is now. It's probably
two thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But the milestone or landmark for the Hall of Fame
is three thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Three thousand strikeouts or more. That's the goal. I don't
even think CC Sabathia had that. You know he did.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He didn't have three hundred wins. Okay, it's three hundred wins,
three thousand strikeouts. Nolan Ryan had five thousand plus. That's insane.
All right, let me get well, I'll just put this
in perspective for you. Last year's Scooball led the league
with two hundred and twenty eight strikeouts, So to twenty
(10:07):
eight solid year though to twenty eight, yeah times a
twenty year career. He'd still still be twelve hundred shy
of Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's insane, that's how good he won.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So when you think of unbreakable records, light them up.
Let's as he was such a sturdy dude, big old
Texan high leg kick. Really use those legs so durable.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And again you only think of guys like like the
rocket honestly, when you think of guys like cam made
out of the same sort of a Texan.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Also, yeah, you know what you think of when I
picture like, uh, who's like a specimen of a picture,
And it's usually guys that get hurt, like a Noah
sinder Guard, like a ripped big guy. Guys like Nolan
Ryan and Roger Clemens, they almost appear to me to
have like more like old guy Dadd's strengths. You had
a stir like thirty. I saw Roder Clemens recently still
(11:03):
throwing gas like you like you're dude. John Carlos Stanton
is a specimen, but he's hurd He's hurt all the
time out it's so weird. So those are very special dudes.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So Nolan Ryan should be in the Goat Conversation. It's
his seventy eighth birthday. Congrats to him, but his record
really is unmatched. And you know, I'm gonna just get
this out of the way, Rich, because it's I think,
like the common answer when people have these questions.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So I'll kick it off and we open it up
to you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Fox Sports Radio Nation Live from Vegas at the MGM
Grand eight seven seven ninety nine F.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Fox at Covino and Rich eight seven seven ninety nine F.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Fox call and say what's up and let us know
what you think will never be broken.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But anytime this comes up, well there's two, there's two. Yeah.
The one I'm going with is the fifty six scheme.
Oh that dopey, I disagree.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You're gonna say, cal I think that, but I think
that lightning could strike, and I think a guy could
get hot. I think the social media and the world
of pressure and twenty twenty five would get to a guy.
But I don't think that's I don't think that's off
the time. I don't think anybody catches I mean the culture.
Pete Rose forty four was the closest after that. Yeah,
(12:11):
Joe DiMaggio fifty six games, and he could have could
have gone longer. But that's just one of those things
that it's just so hard to break. And you see
how the pressure grows. You see when Judge was chasing
sixty two, how the pressure just grew and grew and grew,
so even more so worse today than yesteryear to break
these records. So I already said it. I thought Rich
(12:34):
was gonna say, cal Ripken, that's another one that's never
going to be broke because the culture is so different.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now, if you see a guy play one season now,
like you know, I've been talking way too much about
Pete A.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Lonzo. You know, last year he played one hundred and
sixty two games. That's amazing. Imagine doing that for like
twenty year reason though, for him to be highly considered
to be a met.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, let's take it to the NBA for a minute. Sure,
Lebron passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become the NBA's all
time scoring leader last season. That record had stood for
forty years. And if Adam Silver does go ahead with
his idea of maybe shortening the NBA games, nobody's gonna
touch Lebron. And how many more seasons is the King
(13:14):
gonna play?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I didn't think about the circumstances in which Lebron started
playing as a teenager, right, and now gonna be playing
post forty, so you gotta have that longevity and six
at kill level, like, give me a break. Yeah, that's
a good one, Danny g because as a kid, you
thought no one would catch Kareem. You know, this is
an interesting one. Let me throw one at you, and
I'm curious what you guys think. But it took a special,
(13:36):
special dude at a really early age to do that.
We saw Kobe go for eighty one and it seemed miraculous.
The fact that Wilt has that one hundred point game.
There's no circumstance in which I think a guy could
put one of his bedroom records. You think anyone will
ever break those or not? I don't know that girl's
trying to sleep with a thousand and twos in.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
One day, right. I would say his bedroom records are
more impressive.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I mean, that is true, but one hundred points in
a game that would it would have to be like
a triple quadruple overtime where it's like one fifty to
one thirty and a guy goes off, but still one
hundred points. Who would be even capable that if Steph
was just three three three, if there's a four point line,
maybe in the future that's unattainable.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
But let me go to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I think that when we talk about records, there's a
dude that doesn't get enough credit, even a little. To me,
And I'm not being a homer as a forty nine
Ers fan, what Jerry Rice meant to the wide receiver
position goes so onto the radar because he played with
Montana and Young and he's sort of a humble guy,
never never a show boat.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
He played for your Raiders, Danny J.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Jerry Rice career yards twenty two thousand, eight hundred and
ninety five. And it's how he did it, though, like
such an enigma, like a gazelle, Like how did he do.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
As they say he had? He had route running abilities
and he had game speed. It was the first step.
His forty was never impressive.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
His first step just put him ahead of everybody else.
But he always looks so wide open, and that's what's
so weird about it. And every NFL film you just
see him run somebody. He would glide the way I
always say that Carlos Beltron in his prime would.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Glide through the outfield towards the ball.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
He would glide and everyone have to think of a
mental image of Jerry Rice, right, I don't see anyone
else in the image, Like trying to block.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
His pass is just him.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You know how they always talk about in game speed
and how you can't really you know, you just there's
there's no way to really measure that. Some guys they
run the forty, they're not that fast, but in the
game it looks like like Marcus Allen used to look
that way. Long strides looks like they're hardly trying and
they're way ahead of the pack.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Not the name drop, but we've had Jerry Rice on
the on the show a few times over the years,
and he talked about how when he would catch the
ball on a slant and he saw a lane, he
had that thing like, I can't let anyone catch me.
They may be faster than me, but you're right, there's
an in game speed that you really can't you really
can't account for. But speaking of Jerry Rice with that
(16:07):
twenty two, eight hundred and ninety five yards, just to
put a perspective, Second place is Larry Fitzgerald, who had
a long ridiculously amazing career seventeen thousand. Then after that
to Randy Moss, they have like fifteen thousand, which is
again seven eight thousand less than Jerry Rice. And when
you talk about guys that are still active, like, is
(16:28):
there any active player close? There's four guys that have
twelve thousand, which is still ten thousand yards shy of
Jerry Rice, Travis Kelce, Davante Adams, Mike Evans, and DeAndre Hopkins. So,
you know what, it goes back to what we said,
and they have an extra they have more games to play.
That's the other crazy part right now. You know, it
(16:50):
goes back to durability once again though players today.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I don't know if high ankle.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sprain became a thing or was always a thing, but
doesn't it seem like more injuries ever before, where yeah,
it's never gonna happen. It's not gonna it's not gonna
be beaten at this at this pace, you gotta throw
Ricky Henderson in the late Great Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
People don't steal pases the way he steals bases.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
They don't do that anymore, even with the bigger band,
you know, with the pizza boxes Ellie de la Cruz
looks like a speedster that we haven't seen in a
couple decades, and he had a fourteen oh six. But yeah, career,
no way. But Ellie de la Cruz, I'm looking for
a guy. Could there be a guy that even cracks
a hundred? Because Ricky would have seasons where he had
over one hundred stolen bases. I just don't know if
(17:32):
a guy could even crack a hunda.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. And back to the
NFL really quick.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
How about a record on the other side of things,
a record you don't want to have three hundred and
thirty six interceptions. I'm talking about Brett farv Yes, sir, Yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Know, it's almost like strikeouts in baseball. You have to
be around long enough to be that madame. You have
to be a gun slaying.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Are we gonna ever see a quarterback throw that many interceptions?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You know, it's interesting though, because the game's change, and
the answer to your question is probably not right, because
if you threw that many interceptions, most likely.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You'd be out of the league. But he was Brett Favre.
Games changed, techniques change.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I heard Kenny lofton recently speaking about how when he
was playing, that's when the slide step came into effect.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh, so the lake kick went away.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
The leg kicks sort of went away, the slide pitch
became a thing. He goes, I would have been stealing
one hundred bases a season if that wasn't a thing.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
So, you know, as as things change and techniques change,
we may see some changes in these records.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Look, we almost saw Eric Dickerson's record broken this year.
You know, the most stone bases in the season. Ever,
it's got to be Rickey two sixty something. Maybe he
had to something a season they need two hundred.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Hits maybe, but.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Would that would be maybe those were my race, those
were your video game I'm sorry, that was Cabino's little
league stats. Ricky uh lou Brock had won eighteen, Vince
Coleman in eighty five had won ten tim Rains, you know,
and they all have the Ricky and Vince Coleman with
the two guys that seemed to dominate that. And yeah,
(19:16):
I'm trying to say, I'm scrolling down the list, show
hey with fifty nine is uh is the closest recently
so so based on Nolan Ryan the I'm saying forgotten.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Go. We know how great he is, but he's never
in that conversation.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's seventy eight today, he holds the record for strikeouts.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Over five thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
What's the record again? Five seven fourteen five tho seven fourteen?
Based on that, what other records do you think?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well last?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, at least our lifetime, We're never going to see
broken because the game changed, or it's just unreached by
five seven fifteen. If you count the punch out of
Robin Ventoire as a punch out. Yeah, yeah, that's another
k as a KO. All right, So we'll get to
your phone calls. Eight seven seven ninety nine out Fox.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
So today not only exciting because it's Friday weekend, you
get sniffed as Super Bowl. I smelled something you have
to scratch and sniff or just sniffing, I don't know.
But it's also a special day. It's Nolan Ryan's birthday.
Nolan Ryan's seventy eighth. He put that in Strikers, a
guy we grew up to think was so unhittable, such
(22:20):
a superstar.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He's seventy eight and he played in the nineties. That's
what I mean. He was beating up Robin Ventura in
the nineties.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He was old then he was bleeding, you know, with
the Texas Rangers in the nineties. He's seventy eight, years old.
That's pretty old time's flying. Got to give him his props,
but he's one of the greatest we've ever seen to
do it, transcended generations, and he holds the strikeout record.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I saw Fox Sports on Instagram and Twitter said unbreakable records.
You got to put Nolan Ryan's fifty seven hundred plus
strikeouts up there. So it got us thinking, what are
the records that that are near and dear to you
that You're like, yo, no one will break that or
that one's I said to Danny early.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So amazed by it, You're like, no one's gonna have I.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Said, you know what, No, it's prime for the breaking
now that you're seeing a couple running backs starting to
emerge again in run games, becoming more of a component
in the NFL, because remember, for a minute, quarterbacks, we're
throwing for three four, five hundred yards a game, and
now it's more of a balance attack. Guys like Saquana
Derrick Henry. Someone's gonna break that single season rushing record.
(23:27):
That's that's done though, that's gone in a couple of years.
I bet how about Spotty's record nearly two thousands. I
don't think he cut his toenails for at least four years.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh no, I got a record that's top. Broke Spot,
I have a record that you're broken. And don't worry.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Dirty Spot joined the gym and went one time and
paid a membership for six years and never went.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And we did the math of what you paid for
one session at the gym one session.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It was the most expensive session that ever was six
years worth in one session. So let's go to you, guys.
What record comes to mind? Unbreakable? Maybe it's near and
dear to you, by the way, and that New York
that Fox Sports meme Tom Brady's seven Super Bowls. I mean,
you got to put that in perspective too, only because
(24:16):
Mahomes is going for number four and it seems like
that in itself is preposterous. And how Montana had for
you know, Terry Bradshaw with the most dominant defense on
the other side of the ball for years in the seventies,
he got four, Mahomes would have to win on on
Sunday next Sunday, and then that team would have to
(24:37):
continue to dominate, where he wins three additional Super Bowls
in its thirties. I got one more before we go
to the phones too, eight seven, seven ninety nine one
Fox again because things change, right? The Beatles sold over
six hundred million albums.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
That's going to be broken, no, because who's pine albums?
And it works that way?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I think Taylor, second is Michael Jackson, and third is Elvis.
Who's buying out? I guess yeah, I mean, but it's
just a different way streaming. There's got to be a
way to calculate how many Spotify and Apple streams because
you look, if you google now the most album sold
of all time, it's still the Beatles nine I know.
But those music things, that's all semantics though, because people
(25:19):
like Rihanna have more number one hits than Michael Jackson
on an album. And Katy remember Katy Perry had like
a certain number of number ones on an album.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So how's that going to be broken?
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
If no one's buying them? When the last time you
bought an album? You work in radio, when was the
last time you bought an album? And what do you
think when I went when I went to Coconuts, when
I went to Sam Goodie exactly like and kids today? Right,
good He's got it man, I don't want to spend
money on anything. They want everything for free.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
It's like when I was a teenager, I sold the
most realistic VCRs than any other radio shock employee in
the country.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Nobody's ever gonna break down. No, it's going to break that.
I'll tell you that min g has that boom. Who
you got dang? Let's go to.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Gary and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
What's up gar Hey? Hey, buddy Hey. So maybe not
so much a record, but something we'll probably never see
again and not so much talked about is NASCAR Jimmy
Johnson going five championships in a row. Yeah, impressive for
the race fans that that's got to be up there. Now.
I thought you were going to say, because you got
me thinking.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I think you're going to say, because of contracts and
so much money. You know, when you see these NFL
players and NBA and baseball setting hundreds of millions of
dollars of long term deals, will we ever see someone
allow a bo Jackson or Deon Sanders to happen again?
Tyler Murray thinks Russell Wilson there were guys that could
(26:39):
have tried because they were highly touted baseball prospects. But
I don't think you're going to see a multi sport
guy because it just this tourists too much at stake. Yeah,
I don't think so. All right, let's talk to Eric
in Los Angeles. Hey whatever, Eric live from Vegas? What's
going on?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Hey, what's up? Guys? Love the show, Happy Birthday and
ol and Ryan Express. Even though it's an Angels fan.
I wish he went into the hall wearing the Angels cat,
but with his native Texas Pete Rose hit King Rest
in Peace the forty two fifty six. No one's slipping that.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I'm surprised it took us this long the break, Well,
you brought them up and be good ones too.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
What do we bring them up in regards to we did? Mate?
You know you said best ball haircutting.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
No, we said something where he came up in conversation.
But I'm surprised it took this long to bring up
Pete again. The peak Rose thing is simple math. How
many hits over four thousand, two hundred hits times twenty
seasons is four thousand. So to think because now some
of the best hitters one hundred and eighty one seventy hits,
like two hundred hits isn't even the standard anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Guys aren't hitting three thirty forty.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Emphasis and value on hits just isn't the same as
he used to be.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Ops. Other things have taken precedents JP and Florida. What's up, Jay?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Hey guys, an awesome show.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Thanks, I love you. I love you guys, especially the
boxing and the wrestling roads American Dream. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
When he wore the polka dots, that was that was
like Vince McMahon's way of saying, like, fu that Do
people know that? Because Dusty Rhodes, you know, Cody Rhod's dad,
the legend. He was a big guy for the other federation.
So when he finally went to the WWE WWF, Vincent Ganza,
you know, as a big fu who I'm gonna make
you wear polka dots?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
And yet he still made it work.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Well, I remember Gordon solely before there was mean Gene Okerland,
there was Gorham, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Right. And here's what I'm saying, Miami Dolphins, Okay, I
gotta be that Dolphins fan with the undefeated season.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
Okay, who's going to do that? Now?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You know what I think?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Let me tell you, brother, as much as I love
your call, and you said you love the show.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I don't agree with that answer. There's gonna be a
team in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Listen, the Chiefs and the Lions were fifteen and two,
and the last game the Chiefs lost was simply because
they rested every single player in the Broncos whoop their
ass like that.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Seems to be the way. So but why you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Like, what the the strategy of not risking it always
puts that in jeopardy?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Risk it? What do you want to Biscuit?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Didn't you have a wrestling record that couldn't be broken?
Speaking of Dusty Rosyeah, no doubt, no, it'll never be broken.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The Honky tonk Man's Intercontinental Championship reign. You know what
was the record? Pegasid the Colonel in the back. He
held the belt longer than anybody. I don't know if
that's true anymore, but when we were kids, remember they
were like, he was the weakest, yet awesome wrestler, the
Elvis impersonator, who's cool hockey in bad but uh, they
made it seem like he was legit. I'm gonna put
you in the shake, rattle and roll if you don't
(29:44):
behave all.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Right, before we go to DB's update, let's talk to
Bobby in Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
What's up, Bobby, Bobby, guys, I love the show. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Hey.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
I just want to say happy birthday to Knowing. He
truly was or is the Goats. And there's two more
records that he holds. It will probably never be broken
because pitchers don't pitch anymore. Kno complete games. Dude had
seven no hitters and twelve one hitters as well.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, that's insane. That really is insane.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
It's really a bummer. And listen, I don't want to
sound like an old head. And by the way, but
come on, when did you hear numbers like that?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Rich? It's usually from.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Some guy who played, you know, before black players were
even allowed in baseball?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Right, he was doing this in our lifetime. They're like, oh,
Flippy Johnson eighteen sixty two, Flippy Johnson pitched seven no
hitters and twelve one hit us.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Flippy Johnson. They were talking to Nolan Ryan. We all watched,
we watched him. That's crazy, dude, he did that in
our lifetime of watching sports. Oh nine Vigat Thompson. Seriously,
you know, Slappy Giants, guys, I.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Played when there was no fence, like if a ball
went past the outfielders, it was a home run.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
By the way, the NFL record of the undefeated fourteen
to er Dolphins nineteen seventy two this year, outside of
that whooping that the Chiefs took in the final week
just because again, they would have beat the Broncos had
they fielded their team. Their one loss was against Buffalo,
so they lost to a really good team. But I
think if you get a stack team, if Lamar Derek
(31:12):
Henry team's healthy all year or dude, I know they're
you're gonna disagree with me. But if you get a
team with a weak ass schedule like the Niners played
next year, I'm not saying they're gonna go undefeated, but
there's gonna be a team that gets a week schedule
and runs a table.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
That will happen in our life. Let's go to dan
byer front update.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I'm just prising to no one said al Bundy. Four
touchdowns in one game, that's very impressive. I mean, that's
one of the greatest achievements.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Ever any both with three hundred right, stay right? I
think he did. What's up? dB?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Hey, guys in talking about this earlier, and I don't
know if you did mention it to my apologies, but
just the NFL all time rushing record was such a
big deal for us when we were growing up because
it was Walter Payton getting it, then Barry Sanders challenging it,
and then ultimately Emmett Smith. But you see how running
backs are used nowadays. Derrick Henry's the closest active running
(32:01):
back to the top right now nineteenth with eleven four
hundred and twenty three yards. That's about seven thousand short
of Emmett Smith. And how many more seasons does Derrick
Henry have in him?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
So that's yeah, even if you put up fifteen hund
though for four years in a row, he's still shy
of that. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's gonna be a
tough one to touch.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Pro the Week drum roll, please the Express Pros Pro
the Week goes too. And I say this respectfully, Bronnie James.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
MVP and he was getting MVP chance last night. But
guess what, No, I'm not even being facetious. Brownie James
scored five points against the Wizards. I know, but those
are pressure filled points. I'm saying this. You could take
it anyway you want, right, There's people that good one.
But I'm coming from the perspective of who owned the
(33:40):
headlines more than this guy this week getting so much
criticism because should he be out there? Should he not
be out there? And he gets out there and he
plays well.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
You know, he played well yesterday after having a clunker
after Yeah, of.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Course, I'm saying, but when everybody's talking about you and
everybody's watching you, to hit a foul shot in that right,
to hit a free throw in that moment is just
that tough.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Now haters will say it was against the Wizards, it
was kind of garbage time. But to see him throw
up that Ali loop, to see him have that plus
one and to have a little bit of shine after
having a bad game, that was really nice.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And here's why I consider this. Hey, he's a good kid.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Everybody was really tough on him this week and he
scored five points.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
He's a good kid.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
We're seeing a kid, you know, way ahead of his
time in the NBA. So, Bronnie James, congrats to you
being our Express pros Pro of the week. Now, Rich,

Speaker 4 (01:41):
And Rich's wife actually gave him the green light to
go ahead and gamble little Benny's college fund.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know when you turn to your significant other hoping
they say one thing. Yeah, I turned to my wife
and I said, you know, we got a really action packed,
great time coming up for Fox. It's to me, Cavino,
Dandy g We're gonna be in Vegas, New Orleans, eating,
drinking money. And my I said to my wife and go, you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Know what I think when we're in Vegas, I'm gonna
lay low and maybe I won't gamble and just I'll
just chill. She's like, yeah, but you work so hard,
you deserve it. Have fun. I'm like, why would you
say that, Ah, you were a kid. I was like,
I wanted. I was waiting for my wife to be
like probably a good idea, and she's like, no, have fun.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So basically, if he wasn't on the casino floor gambling,
he was probably in his room doing something weird.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So it's not like he was upstairs being an angel, right,
So I don't know if that's weird. Yeah, he's either way,
he's doing something devious. Trust me.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The velvet Wolf fridge, Davis by the way, Cavino, Spotty's here,
Danny g thank you. You just transition my You blame
yourself because you say things, and then when I go
on a tangent, don't blame me, blame he said.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Hotel rooms dev and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I just read an article about what not to do
if you're traveling in a hotel, and you're saying, in
a hotel, what not to do, Yeah, don't lay on
the bedspread.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
They don't wash them in most places. Maybe here at
the MGM in New York, New York.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They do, but most places they don't wash the beds
par They're saying, you know those.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's true because they just change out the sheets.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know, the glasses in the bathroom that you probably
put your toothbrush in or something.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They're saying, don't count on them washing them like you like,
don't think like, oh clean glass like that might be there.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And I always see on social media is supposed to
tape over the autlets because that's where the hidden cameras are.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The other one I saw was do not just grab
the remote control. Wipe down the remote if you have
any type of wipe what they said, the remote control
might be the dirtiest thing in a hotel room.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You know. I saw a comedian or most people stick them.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You know, dude, Eric di Alessandro, he's like an East
Coast Italian kid. He goes, what is it with remote controls?
We don't need them smaller? He goes, Not like we're
packing them up and taking them on the road with us.
Why did they keep making them small for anything? Make
them bigger because we always lose them. You don't need
remote controls to be smaller and smaller and smaller.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Are you packing them up for the plane ride? Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The Roku remote now is honestly like three inchest. Yeah,
he's like, it's not a cell phone. We don't need
a smaller. He goes, if anything, make it bigger because
you always lose it. But anyway, thank you guys for
being here on the show. We're in Vegas. Crazy thoughts,
crazy things happen, crazy people's not buy And I do
want to say this a big thanks to Brian Custer
for stopping by. He's the guy that calls the fights.
(04:20):
He's the guy you've seen hosting Sports Center. You see
him at every fight. If you don't know fall on
social media. Guy knows what he's talking about. And he's
a good dude. And we worked with him over ten
years ago. And to see him do his thing on
a on a big level and see us come up,
it's been cool for us and it's cool to catch
up with him. So big shout out and thanks again
to Brian Custer. I was gonna ask him, we don't
(04:42):
have time. Maybe we'll ask Jim Lampley on our bonus show.
If Benavitez wins, and it looks like he is, but
who knows anything could happen is by mean, this is
a closer odds than most fights we've covered. And usually
you're the guy that's like, bro, anyone's gonna punch your chance.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He's only a.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Minus two one hundred ish underdog, a favorite. I mean,
so it's not like Benavidez is just going to stroll.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Through this fight.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well, the winner of this fight fights the winner of
Beevil better beev later. This, by the way, morals undefeated
as well. Exactly, so who does he think wins that fight?
And I wanted to know which is the better fight,
Canello Crawford or Canelo Benavitez because those are the two
fights that people always talk about. And to me, when
(05:27):
you see how big Benavidez is, I think Canello Crawford.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Is the better fight.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I mean, you constantly point out that, well, Canelo seems unbeatable.
Anytime he's gone up, is that's when he's lost, Yeah,
because you lose your power.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's he's five foot seven, dude. You know these guys
are big.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Benavidez is six foot two and he walks around at
two hundred pounds. Canelo's not that big. So anyway, thank you,
again to Brian Custer. We'll talk to Jim Lampley about
it here and if you have any thoughts. Eight seven
to seven ninety nine on Fox, we got to talk
about records being broken because today is a very special
ace frying Friday before a fight weekend light seventy eight candles,
(06:04):
seventy eight candles for.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Who one of the greats of all time.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
In fact, when we talk about the Goats, it's a
name that we often don't bring up, but we probably should.
You know why we don't bring them up.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'll tell you why. Because he never wont to say young.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's like the random fun fact that didn't be the
But you're right that you know early on is a
met Yes, but as an angel, as an astro, as
a ranger, never won a world series. He won on
that sixty nineteen. Yeah he was a young kid. Yeah,
but that was like a non factor. Nolan Ryan, Nolan
Ryan turns seventy eight today.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And he probably still throws gas. Same number of punches too.
He hit Robin vent.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's a candle for every punch to Ventura's head.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
And if you've you know, seen that documentary Facing Nolan,
which was fantastic. I urge you to check that out. Honestly,
it's a great watch. If you're a sports fan, you'll
enjoy it. I think you don't even need to be
because he talks about how his wife really kept him
in baseball. He was going to quit after the Mets
when he was contemplating what's my next move. He's a
farmer type of guy. He's like, his passion is ranching, ranching.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, he's to ranching.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
When they said, Nolan Ryan, you're in New York and
now we're sending you to southern California to play for
the Angels, he was like, Yanna, I think I'm done.
And his wife's like, Nolan Baseball, it's your passion.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It was the story behind every great man is a
great woman. It really was. That was the story. If
you watch his documentary, you realize this guy was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And not only was he just throwing gas. You know,
the rumor is that at one point, if the radar
guns were the way they are today, it would have
been like one hundred and eight like his strikeout record.
If you go to Fox Sports, Instagram and Twitter, in
honor of Nolan Ryan, they put up unbreakable records, and
they said Nolan Ryan's fifty seven fourteen five, seven hundred
(07:58):
and fourteen strikeouts could arguably be the most unbreakable baseball record.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
For so many reasons too. I mean the longevity.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
The guy had. Do a little quick search of rule
niny years. He played over twenty years.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Can I give you a little quick quiz?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And the dude was playing pitching nine innings, you know,
at a time.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Give me the time and era of complete games. Give
me number two.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't want to play on the spot, but number two,
number two all time strikeouts, number two, lefty, Yeah you're
asking me, Yeah, number two, all time behind number Okay,
Randy Johnson correct on Wendel and he has forty eight hundred,
(08:42):
almost a thousand less strikeouts. So when you took sorry
for the pause there, I wasn't sure what rich was
asking me. But yeah, that's that's insane. Randy Johnson, who
we all saw the big unit so dominant in his era.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Is still so far behind. Noelan Runnan said, was my
question tough? Who's number two? Did you think? I said,
who does number two work? For number two work?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I just was looking at riginally, what does he want
from me? Who's number two? I thought you were asking
me to ask you something. But anyway, Randy Johnson comes
to mind immediately when you think of the rocket. Roger
Clemens is number three with forty six hundred. You're talking
about some of the best ever have like a thousand
less strikeouts, So you could argue that his strikeout record, well,
hold on, put this in perspective. The milestone for strikeouts
(09:31):
it's probably different now.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I wouldn't even know what it is now. It's probably
two thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But the milestone or landmark for the Hall of Fame
is three thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Three thousand strikeouts or more. That's the goal. I don't
even think CC Sabathia had that. You know he did.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He didn't have three hundred wins. Okay, it's three hundred wins,
three thousand strikeouts. Nolan Ryan had five thousand plus. That's insane.
All right, let me get well, I'll just put this
in perspective for you. Last year's Scooball led the league
with two hundred and twenty eight strikeouts, So to twenty
(10:07):
eight solid year though to twenty eight, yeah times a
twenty year career. He'd still still be twelve hundred shy
of Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's insane, that's how good he won.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So when you think of unbreakable records, light them up.
Let's as he was such a sturdy dude, big old
Texan high leg kick. Really use those legs so durable.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And again you only think of guys like like the
rocket honestly, when you think of guys like cam made
out of the same sort of a Texan.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Also, yeah, you know what you think of when I
picture like, uh, who's like a specimen of a picture,
And it's usually guys that get hurt, like a Noah
sinder Guard, like a ripped big guy. Guys like Nolan
Ryan and Roger Clemens, they almost appear to me to
have like more like old guy Dadd's strengths. You had
a stir like thirty. I saw Roder Clemens recently still
(11:03):
throwing gas like you like you're dude. John Carlos Stanton
is a specimen, but he's hurd He's hurt all the
time out it's so weird. So those are very special dudes.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So Nolan Ryan should be in the Goat Conversation. It's
his seventy eighth birthday. Congrats to him, but his record
really is unmatched. And you know, I'm gonna just get
this out of the way, Rich, because it's I think,
like the common answer when people have these questions.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So I'll kick it off and we open it up
to you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Fox Sports Radio Nation Live from Vegas at the MGM
Grand eight seven seven ninety nine F.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Fox at Covino and Rich eight seven seven ninety nine F.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Fox call and say what's up and let us know
what you think will never be broken.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But anytime this comes up, well there's two, there's two. Yeah.
The one I'm going with is the fifty six scheme.
Oh that dopey, I disagree.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You're gonna say, cal I think that, but I think
that lightning could strike, and I think a guy could
get hot. I think the social media and the world
of pressure and twenty twenty five would get to a guy.
But I don't think that's I don't think that's off
the time. I don't think anybody catches I mean the culture.
Pete Rose forty four was the closest after that. Yeah,
(12:11):
Joe DiMaggio fifty six games, and he could have could
have gone longer. But that's just one of those things
that it's just so hard to break. And you see
how the pressure grows. You see when Judge was chasing
sixty two, how the pressure just grew and grew and grew,
so even more so worse today than yesteryear to break
these records. So I already said it. I thought Rich
(12:34):
was gonna say, cal Ripken, that's another one that's never
going to be broke because the culture is so different.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now, if you see a guy play one season now,
like you know, I've been talking way too much about
Pete A.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Lonzo. You know, last year he played one hundred and
sixty two games. That's amazing. Imagine doing that for like
twenty year reason though, for him to be highly considered
to be a met.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, let's take it to the NBA for a minute. Sure,
Lebron passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become the NBA's all
time scoring leader last season. That record had stood for
forty years. And if Adam Silver does go ahead with
his idea of maybe shortening the NBA games, nobody's gonna
touch Lebron. And how many more seasons is the King
(13:14):
gonna play?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I didn't think about the circumstances in which Lebron started
playing as a teenager, right, and now gonna be playing
post forty, so you gotta have that longevity and six
at kill level, like, give me a break. Yeah, that's
a good one, Danny g because as a kid, you
thought no one would catch Kareem. You know, this is
an interesting one. Let me throw one at you, and
I'm curious what you guys think. But it took a special,
(13:36):
special dude at a really early age to do that.
We saw Kobe go for eighty one and it seemed miraculous.
The fact that Wilt has that one hundred point game.
There's no circumstance in which I think a guy could
put one of his bedroom records. You think anyone will
ever break those or not? I don't know that girl's
trying to sleep with a thousand and twos in.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
One day, right. I would say his bedroom records are
more impressive.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I mean, that is true, but one hundred points in
a game that would it would have to be like
a triple quadruple overtime where it's like one fifty to
one thirty and a guy goes off, but still one
hundred points. Who would be even capable that if Steph
was just three three three, if there's a four point line,
maybe in the future that's unattainable.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
But let me go to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I think that when we talk about records, there's a
dude that doesn't get enough credit, even a little. To me,
And I'm not being a homer as a forty nine
Ers fan, what Jerry Rice meant to the wide receiver
position goes so onto the radar because he played with
Montana and Young and he's sort of a humble guy,
never never a show boat.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
He played for your Raiders, Danny J.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Jerry Rice career yards twenty two thousand, eight hundred and
ninety five. And it's how he did it, though, like
such an enigma, like a gazelle, Like how did he do.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
As they say he had? He had route running abilities
and he had game speed. It was the first step.
His forty was never impressive.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
His first step just put him ahead of everybody else.
But he always looks so wide open, and that's what's
so weird about it. And every NFL film you just
see him run somebody. He would glide the way I
always say that Carlos Beltron in his prime would.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Glide through the outfield towards the ball.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
He would glide and everyone have to think of a
mental image of Jerry Rice, right, I don't see anyone
else in the image, Like trying to block.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
His pass is just him.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You know how they always talk about in game speed
and how you can't really you know, you just there's
there's no way to really measure that. Some guys they
run the forty, they're not that fast, but in the
game it looks like like Marcus Allen used to look
that way. Long strides looks like they're hardly trying and
they're way ahead of the pack.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Not the name drop, but we've had Jerry Rice on
the on the show a few times over the years,
and he talked about how when he would catch the
ball on a slant and he saw a lane, he
had that thing like, I can't let anyone catch me.
They may be faster than me, but you're right, there's
an in game speed that you really can't you really
can't account for. But speaking of Jerry Rice with that
(16:07):
twenty two, eight hundred and ninety five yards, just to
put a perspective, Second place is Larry Fitzgerald, who had
a long ridiculously amazing career seventeen thousand. Then after that
to Randy Moss, they have like fifteen thousand, which is
again seven eight thousand less than Jerry Rice. And when
you talk about guys that are still active, like, is
(16:28):
there any active player close? There's four guys that have
twelve thousand, which is still ten thousand yards shy of
Jerry Rice, Travis Kelce, Davante Adams, Mike Evans, and DeAndre Hopkins. So,
you know what, it goes back to what we said,
and they have an extra they have more games to play.
That's the other crazy part right now. You know, it
(16:50):
goes back to durability once again though players today.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I don't know if high ankle.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sprain became a thing or was always a thing, but
doesn't it seem like more injuries ever before, where yeah,
it's never gonna happen. It's not gonna it's not gonna
be beaten at this at this pace, you gotta throw
Ricky Henderson in the late Great Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
People don't steal pases the way he steals bases.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
They don't do that anymore, even with the bigger band,
you know, with the pizza boxes Ellie de la Cruz
looks like a speedster that we haven't seen in a
couple decades, and he had a fourteen oh six. But yeah, career,
no way. But Ellie de la Cruz, I'm looking for
a guy. Could there be a guy that even cracks
a hundred? Because Ricky would have seasons where he had
over one hundred stolen bases. I just don't know if
(17:32):
a guy could even crack a hunda.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. And back to the
NFL really quick.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
How about a record on the other side of things,
a record you don't want to have three hundred and
thirty six interceptions. I'm talking about Brett farv Yes, sir, Yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Know, it's almost like strikeouts in baseball. You have to
be around long enough to be that madame. You have
to be a gun slaying.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Are we gonna ever see a quarterback throw that many interceptions?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You know, it's interesting though, because the game's change, and
the answer to your question is probably not right, because
if you threw that many interceptions, most likely.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You'd be out of the league. But he was Brett Favre.
Games changed, techniques change.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I heard Kenny lofton recently speaking about how when he
was playing, that's when the slide step came into effect.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh, so the lake kick went away.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
The leg kicks sort of went away, the slide pitch
became a thing. He goes, I would have been stealing
one hundred bases a season if that wasn't a thing.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
So, you know, as as things change and techniques change,
we may see some changes in these records.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Look, we almost saw Eric Dickerson's record broken this year.
You know, the most stone bases in the season. Ever,
it's got to be Rickey two sixty something. Maybe he
had to something a season they need two hundred.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Hits maybe, but.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Would that would be maybe those were my race, those
were your video game I'm sorry, that was Cabino's little
league stats. Ricky uh lou Brock had won eighteen, Vince
Coleman in eighty five had won ten tim Rains, you know,
and they all have the Ricky and Vince Coleman with
the two guys that seemed to dominate that. And yeah,
(19:16):
I'm trying to say, I'm scrolling down the list, show
hey with fifty nine is uh is the closest recently
so so based on Nolan Ryan the I'm saying forgotten.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Go. We know how great he is, but he's never
in that conversation.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's seventy eight today, he holds the record for strikeouts.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Over five thousand strikeouts.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
What's the record again? Five seven fourteen five tho seven fourteen?
Based on that, what other records do you think?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well last?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, at least our lifetime, We're never going to see
broken because the game changed, or it's just unreached by
five seven fifteen. If you count the punch out of
Robin Ventoire as a punch out. Yeah, yeah, that's another
k as a KO. All right, So we'll get to
your phone calls. Eight seven seven ninety nine out Fox.

So today not only exciting because it's Friday weekend, you
get sniffed as Super Bowl. I smelled something you have
to scratch and sniff or just sniffing, I don't know.
But it's also a special day. It's Nolan Ryan's birthday.
Nolan Ryan's seventy eighth. He put that in Strikers, a
guy we grew up to think was so unhittable, such
(22:20):
a superstar.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
He's seventy eight and he played in the nineties. That's
what I mean. He was beating up Robin Ventura in
the nineties.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He was old then he was bleeding, you know, with
the Texas Rangers in the nineties. He's seventy eight, years old.
That's pretty old time's flying. Got to give him his props,
but he's one of the greatest we've ever seen to
do it, transcended generations, and he holds the strikeout record.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I saw Fox Sports on Instagram and Twitter said unbreakable records.
You got to put Nolan Ryan's fifty seven hundred plus
strikeouts up there. So it got us thinking, what are
the records that that are near and dear to you
that You're like, yo, no one will break that or
that one's I said to Danny early.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So amazed by it, You're like, no one's gonna have I.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Said, you know what, No, it's prime for the breaking
now that you're seeing a couple running backs starting to
emerge again in run games, becoming more of a component
in the NFL, because remember, for a minute, quarterbacks, we're
throwing for three four, five hundred yards a game, and
now it's more of a balance attack. Guys like Saquana
Derrick Henry. Someone's gonna break that single season rushing record.
(23:27):
That's that's done though, that's gone in a couple of years.
I bet how about Spotty's record nearly two thousands. I
don't think he cut his toenails for at least four years.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh no, I got a record that's top. Broke Spot,
I have a record that you're broken. And don't worry.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Dirty Spot joined the gym and went one time and
paid a membership for six years and never went.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And we did the math of what you paid for
one session at the gym one session.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It was the most expensive session that ever was six
years worth in one session. So let's go to you, guys.
What record comes to mind? Unbreakable? Maybe it's near and
dear to you, by the way, and that New York
that Fox Sports meme Tom Brady's seven Super Bowls. I mean,
you got to put that in perspective too, only because
(24:16):
Mahomes is going for number four and it seems like
that in itself is preposterous. And how Montana had for
you know, Terry Bradshaw with the most dominant defense on
the other side of the ball for years in the seventies,
he got four, Mahomes would have to win on on
Sunday next Sunday, and then that team would have to
(24:37):
continue to dominate, where he wins three additional Super Bowls
in its thirties. I got one more before we go
to the phones too, eight seven, seven ninety nine one
Fox again because things change, right? The Beatles sold over
six hundred million albums.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
That's going to be broken, no, because who's pine albums?
And it works that way?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I think Taylor, second is Michael Jackson, and third is Elvis.
Who's buying out? I guess yeah, I mean, but it's
just a different way streaming. There's got to be a
way to calculate how many Spotify and Apple streams because
you look, if you google now the most album sold
of all time, it's still the Beatles nine I know.
But those music things, that's all semantics though, because people
(25:19):
like Rihanna have more number one hits than Michael Jackson
on an album. And Katy remember Katy Perry had like
a certain number of number ones on an album.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So how's that going to be broken?
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
If no one's buying them? When the last time you
bought an album? You work in radio, when was the
last time you bought an album? And what do you
think when I went when I went to Coconuts, when
I went to Sam Goodie exactly like and kids today? Right,
good He's got it man, I don't want to spend
money on anything. They want everything for free.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
It's like when I was a teenager, I sold the
most realistic VCRs than any other radio shock employee in
the country.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Nobody's ever gonna break down. No, it's going to break that.
I'll tell you that min g has that boom. Who
you got dang? Let's go to.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Gary and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
What's up gar Hey? Hey, buddy Hey. So maybe not
so much a record, but something we'll probably never see
again and not so much talked about is NASCAR Jimmy
Johnson going five championships in a row. Yeah, impressive for
the race fans that that's got to be up there. Now.
I thought you were going to say, because you got
me thinking.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I think you're going to say, because of contracts and
so much money. You know, when you see these NFL
players and NBA and baseball setting hundreds of millions of
dollars of long term deals, will we ever see someone
allow a bo Jackson or Deon Sanders to happen again?
Tyler Murray thinks Russell Wilson there were guys that could
(26:39):
have tried because they were highly touted baseball prospects. But
I don't think you're going to see a multi sport
guy because it just this tourists too much at stake. Yeah,
I don't think so. All right, let's talk to Eric
in Los Angeles. Hey whatever, Eric live from Vegas? What's
going on?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Hey, what's up? Guys? Love the show, Happy Birthday and
ol and Ryan Express. Even though it's an Angels fan.
I wish he went into the hall wearing the Angels cat,
but with his native Texas Pete Rose hit King Rest
in Peace the forty two fifty six. No one's slipping that.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I'm surprised it took us this long the break, Well,
you brought them up and be good ones too.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
What do we bring them up in regards to we did? Mate?
You know you said best ball haircutting.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
No, we said something where he came up in conversation.
But I'm surprised it took this long to bring up
Pete again. The peak Rose thing is simple math. How
many hits over four thousand, two hundred hits times twenty
seasons is four thousand. So to think because now some
of the best hitters one hundred and eighty one seventy hits,
like two hundred hits isn't even the standard anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Guys aren't hitting three thirty forty.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Emphasis and value on hits just isn't the same as
he used to be.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Ops. Other things have taken precedents JP and Florida. What's up, Jay?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Hey guys, an awesome show.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Thanks, I love you. I love you guys, especially the
boxing and the wrestling roads American Dream. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
When he wore the polka dots, that was that was
like Vince McMahon's way of saying, like, fu that Do
people know that? Because Dusty Rhodes, you know, Cody Rhod's dad,
the legend. He was a big guy for the other federation.
So when he finally went to the WWE WWF, Vincent Ganza,
you know, as a big fu who I'm gonna make
you wear polka dots?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
And yet he still made it work.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Well, I remember Gordon solely before there was mean Gene Okerland,
there was Gorham, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Right. And here's what I'm saying, Miami Dolphins, Okay, I
gotta be that Dolphins fan with the undefeated season.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
Okay, who's going to do that? Now?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You know what I think?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Let me tell you, brother, as much as I love
your call, and you said you love the show.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I don't agree with that answer. There's gonna be a
team in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Listen, the Chiefs and the Lions were fifteen and two,
and the last game the Chiefs lost was simply because
they rested every single player in the Broncos whoop their
ass like that.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Seems to be the way. So but why you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Like, what the the strategy of not risking it always
puts that in jeopardy?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Risk it? What do you want to Biscuit?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Didn't you have a wrestling record that couldn't be broken?
Speaking of Dusty Rosyeah, no doubt, no, it'll never be broken.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The Honky tonk Man's Intercontinental Championship reign. You know what
was the record? Pegasid the Colonel in the back. He
held the belt longer than anybody. I don't know if
that's true anymore, but when we were kids, remember they
were like, he was the weakest, yet awesome wrestler, the
Elvis impersonator, who's cool hockey in bad but uh, they
made it seem like he was legit. I'm gonna put
you in the shake, rattle and roll if you don't
(29:44):
behave all.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Right, before we go to DB's update, let's talk to
Bobby in Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
What's up, Bobby, Bobby, guys, I love the show. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Hey.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
I just want to say happy birthday to Knowing. He
truly was or is the Goats. And there's two more
records that he holds. It will probably never be broken
because pitchers don't pitch anymore. Kno complete games. Dude had
seven no hitters and twelve one hitters as well.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, that's insane. That really is insane.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
It's really a bummer. And listen, I don't want to
sound like an old head. And by the way, but
come on, when did you hear numbers like that?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Rich? It's usually from.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Some guy who played, you know, before black players were
even allowed in baseball?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Right, he was doing this in our lifetime. They're like, oh,
Flippy Johnson eighteen sixty two, Flippy Johnson pitched seven no
hitters and twelve one hit us.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Flippy Johnson. They were talking to Nolan Ryan. We all watched,
we watched him. That's crazy, dude, he did that in
our lifetime of watching sports. Oh nine Vigat Thompson. Seriously,
you know, Slappy Giants, guys, I.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Played when there was no fence, like if a ball
went past the outfielders, it was a home run.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
By the way, the NFL record of the undefeated fourteen
to er Dolphins nineteen seventy two this year, outside of
that whooping that the Chiefs took in the final week
just because again, they would have beat the Broncos had
they fielded their team. Their one loss was against Buffalo,
so they lost to a really good team. But I
think if you get a stack team, if Lamar Derek
(31:12):
Henry team's healthy all year or dude, I know they're
you're gonna disagree with me. But if you get a
team with a weak ass schedule like the Niners played
next year, I'm not saying they're gonna go undefeated, but
there's gonna be a team that gets a week schedule
and runs a table.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
That will happen in our life. Let's go to dan
byer front update.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I'm just prising to no one said al Bundy. Four
touchdowns in one game, that's very impressive. I mean, that's
one of the greatest achievements.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Ever any both with three hundred right, stay right? I
think he did. What's up? dB?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Hey, guys in talking about this earlier, and I don't
know if you did mention it to my apologies, but
just the NFL all time rushing record was such a
big deal for us when we were growing up because
it was Walter Payton getting it, then Barry Sanders challenging it,
and then ultimately Emmett Smith. But you see how running
backs are used nowadays. Derrick Henry's the closest active running
(32:01):
back to the top right now nineteenth with eleven four
hundred and twenty three yards. That's about seven thousand short
of Emmett Smith. And how many more seasons does Derrick
Henry have in him?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
So that's yeah, even if you put up fifteen hund
though for four years in a row, he's still shy
of that. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's gonna be a
tough one to touch.

the Week goes too. And I say this respectfully, Bronnie James.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
MVP and he was getting MVP chance last night. But
guess what, No, I'm not even being facetious. Brownie James
scored five points against the Wizards. I know, but those
are pressure filled points. I'm saying this. You could take
it anyway you want, right, There's people that good one.
But I'm coming from the perspective of who owned the
(33:40):
headlines more than this guy this week getting so much
criticism because should he be out there? Should he not
be out there? And he gets out there and he
plays well.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
You know, he played well yesterday after having a clunker
after Yeah, of.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Course, I'm saying, but when everybody's talking about you and
everybody's watching you, to hit a foul shot in that right,
to hit a free throw in that moment is just
that tough.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Now haters will say it was against the Wizards, it
was kind of garbage time. But to see him throw
up that Ali loop, to see him have that plus
one and to have a little bit of shine after
having a bad game, that was really nice.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And here's why I consider this. Hey, he's a good kid.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Everybody was really tough on him this week and he
scored five points.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
He's a good kid.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
We're seeing a kid, you know, way ahead of his
time in the NBA. So, Bronnie James, congrats to you
