Speaker 2 (00:55):
Ready cool over promise.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Hey, coming up a little bit uh shock Diesel. That's right,
I saw Shack in the hallway. He's ready and I'd
be rocking out.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Also, I have a theory as to why.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Barry Bond should fake his Death'll cover it up. I'm
assuming we're also talking Pete Rose and Joe Jackson. Yes,
even though I'm more of a Tito Jackson guy rest
in peace and Rose from Golden Girls.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, yes, so I'm Cavino.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That is rich Tacos Locals Forever Carnalitos on a Taco Tuesdayday.
Iowa Sam's official Taco Tuesday name is Javier, So there
he is Javier Sam on the Ones and Tues and
Danny G Radio Danny Radio Super Producing eight seven, seven
(01:48):
ninety nine on Fox. So hope you had a great
Monday night. A Knicks Timberwolves sort of Monday night tonight,
some big games. Well, the Pacers put it away, so
we get that Nick Pacers rivalry back, probably Nuggets Thunder,
some exciting stuff tonight. A Peede Alonzo teb midnight, like kicking.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Those sacrifice fly get out of here.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Here's the weakest Michael Jackson dance move I've ever seen.
But I hope you had a pee Alonzo sort of night.
Not a Oswaldo Cabrera Jason Tatum sort of night, because
that was painful to watch. Just high stakes for the Celtics.
Pretty much could count them out. Tatum with the well,
I think he has the m R today right, the
(02:30):
right leg injury underwent surgery for Achilles and Oswaldo Cabrera
left ankle fractures.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So just a gruesome, gruesome night of injury.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You're like, ooh, you know what, Rich, We're gonna talk
about the reaction because I find it hard to watch,
so I don't want to see it, So we're gonna
get to that. But just so that we're correct here,
I'm right in saying he already had the surgery, right, Like,
it's been diagnosed and surgery has been had, so Getty
speculation is no guys in the hospital had the surgery already,
so we him. Well, feel bad for the Celtics fans
(03:03):
feel bad for Jason Tatum? Beatum. I don't you feel
bad for Celtics fans? Beat it Celtics fan, yeah, because
I mean, look, I understand that they're a hateable franchise
and defending champions all that stuff, but you don't want
to see star players down.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Danny G. I could promise you feels bad for Jason
Tatum as a human. Do you think Danny G, a
lifelong Lakers fan, feels bad for the Celtics fans.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Jason Tatum's a little different though, because he's a long
time Kobe supporter. Yeah, so I wish Tatum was a Laker.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I feel bad for any fan who watches their superstar
go down an injury like that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I thought the wheelchair was a bad move, though I
would have waved it off, especially if I'm a Celtic.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The Celtics their pants and wheelchairs, from what I understand,
in a key situation. And again, the Zualdo Cabrera injury,
which I was glued to last night, was such a
somber broadcast and no one's really speculating before we get
into all the fun stuff rich Right and the Mavericks.
Big night rigged, as everyone is saying, which is ridiculous.
(04:01):
But we'll get there. Just one quick question. Ten to
five ninth inning, you tag up to get that eleventh run?
No one's really questioning that. Was it that important for
the dude to extend himself on a sacrifice fly when
they were up ten to five in the ninth Yeah,
I'll tell you what I mean, Maybe we can ask
him because no one's speculating on that. Everyone's just really
(04:23):
talking about how unfortunate. That injury was his ankle four
point eighty but still just a fracture. He's on the
ten day DL and now le Mayhew's off the DL,
so that's how that works out ten days. He might
as well put him on the one thousand day D
with that. But you saw that act well as of
now that's what you're saying. But I'll tell you why
they did the tag up. You're right, they're up five
runs ninth inning. It's low risk like it. Listen, if
(04:45):
the Eagles are up seventeen with three minutes ago and
Sakoon gets hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Because he's in the game, bonehead move.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
If Mahomes gets sacked and the Chiefs are up or
down twenty one points in the fourth quarter, you know,
asinine play.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Hey, a tag up from third?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
What is it? One in a million? But there's a
better chance of the Mavericks winning the draft lottery. He
tried to avoid the catcher. He goes around the bag
his speed and his momentum locks his ankle, distorts his
body in a weird way, spins his ankle. His whole
leg look like it was backwards in that moment, and
(05:24):
a real painful somber situation for a really well liked
and fun got to root for Oswalda Cabrera, so wishing
him and Tatum the best moving forward. But let's get
into the other fun stuff and we'll talk more about
that later on. Of course, gruesome injuries and your reaction
to them. I want to get to that. But last night, dude,
not only a Nix and Timberwolf sort of night, a
(05:45):
Mavericks sort of Maverick with the number one pick in
the lottery obviously getting Cooper Flag from Duke and the
Spurs got the number two pick. Did you call him
goober flag because he's a little goobers And I called
you a goober?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I said, Cooper Flag, goober flag.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And you know everyone's saying rig today because there was
a one percent chance of this happening. You know, Nico
Harrison feeling a sense of relief. Maverick fans are like,
what the odds of the MAVs and Spurs landing the
one and two were one in one thousand, and the
MAVs Spurs sixers combo in the top three was one
(06:21):
in ten thousand, so odds were way against this happening.
It makes you scratch your head and say what well,
I want to put in perspective, guys that did the math,
there was a better chance of Lloyd Christmas getting with
Mary Swanson.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I don't think he had a one percent chance.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So you're saying there's a chance. I think that we
all felt the same way. I went to the gym
right after the show yesterday. So you're telling me there's
a chance one in a billion. Tell the Jim, why
don't you break about it? I mean, was that your
first time this month? Look at these pecks, bro. So
I go to the gym and without fail the minute
Danny G texts me and he's like, Yo, people are
(07:04):
gonna say it's rigged. You watch Danny. They didn't skim
a beat. The dude checking in with his little phone
scanner at the desk was like, yo, you see that
Mavericks first word rigged.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It was the hot envelope scandal.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And the guy behind the desk is like, Yo, the
NBA is totally rigged. And I watched it firsthand. The
chit chat at the gym simultaneously Danny G saying social
media is blowing up saying rigged, Well, hold on, how
could you not think that when there is a one
percent chance of that one point eight? Fine, thank you, howvier, Sam?
(07:38):
And then when you think about all the ups and
downs the team just went through with trading Luca out
of nowhere overnight, all the controversy there surrounding the ownership,
all the injuries that went down, the deal, everybody chanting
fire Nico, and all of a sudden they're number one
with a one point eight behind this.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
This was part of the deal.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I'm not saying that's the case.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm saying I understand that people are buzzing about it. Wait,
the same people that are behind this, are they the
same people that write the script for the NFL? Okay, No,
that's fair, Rio are saying that's craziness. Is crazy talk
to think that sort of thing. But we also like
to think that there's no cheating with officiating and things
like that. Yet we've seen it and known it to
(08:24):
be true. One of my favorite potential scandals of all time,
because I think it really is tricky and awesome. Yeah,
but how many times do people say that the officiating's
rigged and they're like, get out of here, dude. Yeah,
Donnie admitted it, and we have the proof so it's
not like it's impossible that these things could happen, and
there's a reason why there's a buzz and Rich, there's
low probability.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I do understand.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Rich. You always point out about judges ex judges and
lawyers and people involved in our pre shiow meaning we're
talking about a law firm maybe presiding over the NBA draft.
And I looked it up though it says the NBA
handles the legal aspects of the NBA draft through its
own internal legal department.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So it's not like where they have the Oscars or
the Grammys and they're like well represented by it. They
have their own lawyers in house, their own counsel. Well,
I'll say this, one of my favorite potential scandal slash
conspiracies is the nineteen eighty five Nicks Patrick Ewing draft.
Where was was the envelope frozen and cold so that
(09:26):
whoever stuck their hand in was like I said, it
was the hot Yeah, like ooh like, and it's the
Knicks aren't. Really that's a stretch, though. You think you
could dig your hand in a bunch of envelopes and
decipher which one's the cold. I told you, Yeah, if
I told you there's you know, at that time, twenty
something envelopes in a in a you know you're gonna
(09:48):
be able to pick the one out of twenty seven
that feels cold that the cold doesn't transfer onto any envelope.
It's just the one, dude. It was in there with
your auto pops. It was like if one if that is,
like Danny g said Hamlin, Hamlin and mcguil are involved
in this, so it has to be legit. Well, all
I'm saying is nowadays though, where there's social media and
(10:09):
people love to speculate, and everyone is a little sleuth, right,
Everyone wants to be their own little solving murder, you
know podcast. You don't think that someone would be investigating
the whole process.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What is it is?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Is it like lottery balls?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean I didn't watch last night.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
What are we?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What are we doing these days?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, it's it's like.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
A lottery balls, right, I mean one weighted was one
way and then hot balls scandal. One ball was actually
it was extra hot for the Mavericks. Oh there was
a warm one for the Spurs in the case of
the old hot ball, Yeah, the old hot ball scandal.
This one doesn't involve rich.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know what, To me, those balls are perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, there was a you get somebody to like lean
into this. Remember when Lebron did that pretty open interview
with Pat McAfee. He talked about the NBA being rigged.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Take a listen, listen, man, during the ball drop, you know,
during the lottery drop, Cleveland got the number one pick.
That's I just don't think that was just keep Lebron home.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know what, Patrick going to the Knicks, you know,
Darren Rose.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
To the Bull.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I understand Simon, guys, you know, so you know, I
had to make sure that, you know, I had to
do my part.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
He's also being a little cheeky there, joking around, insinuating
there's some truth to it. But I'm just joking and
I want to know how you guys feel about it.
Before we took about reactions to injuries and Shack Diesel trivia.
The other big story of the night, the Mavericks with
the number one pick Spurs number two?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Do you believe that it could be rigged?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Anything's possible, right, And I'm going to tell you that
I choose to believe that the Mavericks just got really lucky.
And you know, it's it's improbable, not impossible. Then answer,
we saw the one point eight percent chance happen, which
is wild. That's like get that's what I like to
It's like getting strict by light. Yeah, it happens bitten
(12:14):
by a shark. Kid, you know, it happens to people,
and that's why they were pumped about it getting a
plane crash.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
They're all acting and they're all in on it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
If you want some lottery numbers to play later, the
winning combination of ping pong balls that earned Dallas the
number one pick ten fourteen eleven and seven. Oh, those
are the numbers right now, ten fourteen eleven seven.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know, Danny G.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I want you Sam Dan Bayer Cavino, And in fact,
I want the Fox Sports Radio Nation to hit us
up eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox for anyone
that genuinely thinks maybe it is rag Maybe this is
the Denver Airport, or maybe this is we landed on
the moon.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Maybe not?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Is this the who shot JFK. If you believe in
you know, all the wild conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Earth is flat?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The Earth is flat? All right, Kyrie, then answer me
this for real. I'm not mocking. I'm curious how do
you think they did it? Do you think it was
a weighted ball? Do you think the league got in
with the owners, because no owner would agree to this,
So you think it was a one on one like
Nico Harrison Mavericks meeting, like, hey, listen, we did you
(13:22):
solid lucas a light For that to happen, yeah, you
have to have some sort of plan, right, and some
sort of schemery. And like Danny g insinuated anyone that
was sold him that the law firm is involved in.
Anyone that would bowl the whistle can't be involved. So
this says to be like a secret inside job. So
if you think that, you know twenty you know this
is a shady saw Goodman.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It is their own lawyers now employed by the NBA
in house. Like I said, saw Goodman, they could, Yeah,
they could be in on it. So if you think
you would hope they're not.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
If you think Shenanigan's may play it was his name,
Jimmy McGill, Yeah, but Jimmy slipping, jim slipping Jimmy situation,
I think wait is slipping Jimmy involved? Yea, so I
said Hamlin Hamlin McGill, I know, but yeah, slip in Jimmy,
because that's extra shady. If you think everyone's involved in
that way, is that impossible? No? But I don't think
(14:13):
that's happening. You know, for every conspiracy I didn't, I
never believe that frozen envelope in this situation. The first
thing I always ask myself in a conspiracy is how
many people would have to completely shut their mouth be
involved being on it without blowing, you know, whistleblowing right.
I believe that I believe more in the Colombian alien
(14:34):
sphere that they found this week, more than I believe
that this was rigged. Damn. Buy You're a reasonable guy,
are you? Are you just minding your own now because
you feel like it's all hogwashed? Or do you think
there's some some possibility that there's you know, injustice, it's rigged,
it's a tom foolery.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
I do feel that there is an undercurrent of possible
tomfoolery or rigging, if you will. I am not happy
that the Mavericks were the ones who were to benefit
from it, and that would be the team that you
could most likely connect to the rigging, not because of
them being the Mavericks, but because they gave Luca to
the Lakers. That's if Luca was traded to the Orlando Magic.
(15:16):
I don't think that there's a hey, here's a solid,
here's a tip of the cap, but hey, thanks so
much for putting one of our premier superstars to take
the torch from Lebron and our golden franchise and be
able to carry that on. So I could, I could
see it. I put it at fifty percent earlier, which
it was a bit of a stretch, but maybe around
twenty twenty five percent.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Big words, I you know, Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's it's interesting because that sense of while the Luca
you know, to the Lakers thing, Mavericks seemed to be
rewarded for this, well yeah, you hate to think that's true,
but of course, as possible at the beginning, middle end
of the day. It's a business so if it's good
for the league, it's good for everybody, and it could
(16:01):
be just a business move and they're just well, don't
you know if you're trying to make us believe that
this is the truth, you know how it's all you
know what people love to say, and I don't know
if this is true. I'm just repeating something I've seen
on social media, which is the problem with most conversations nowaday.
So my apologize every time people talk about, well, the NFL, oh,
(16:22):
you have the script and it's rigged. People love to
plot the fact that the NFL is registered as an
entertainment league or something to the nature that, like they're
off the hook if something ever came out like that.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Have you seen people say stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I don't know about the legality of it's registered as
an entertainment league, but even in the fight game, anytime
you see something go down like this, the first thing
they always say is, look, this is still entertainment. It
really is. They're trying to get people to watch. They're
trying to get people to tune in. It's all about
ratings and money. How many times if it's fighter the league,
(17:02):
it's possible. How many times can you know, has the
fighter that they needed to win to set up another
big fight lost in a close fight but they won
on the car because in a month or so, people
will forget because well, fighting's rigged, right, We know that
there's definitely rigging going on shadiness in the fight game,
but it's also a business and you also want to
(17:25):
be able to sell a fight. And if you can't
sell a fight because there's no personality behind it, then
you're failing in that entertainment factor of the sport, right,
which is part of it. This is just good for
the league. It's just a lot of drama for the league,
which could sell the league, which could be more money,
more ratings. And like Dan Byron sinuated a little backscratch
(17:47):
for the Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And we saw a lot of that good deal last night.
We saw a lot of that as far as the
Lakers go, Like it says, Chris Paul was traded from
New Orleans to LA, and then New Orleans gets the
number one pick. Ad was traded from New Orleans to LA.
New Orleans gets the number one pick, right Luca traded
to from Dallas to LA. Of course, Dallas gets the
number one pick. Lebron left Cleveland for Miami. Cleveland gets
(18:10):
three of the four next four number one picks, including
the one when Lebron came home to for the trade
for Kevin Love. Yeah, it just looks bad.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It kind of feels like it looks really bad when
you list all that out, Danny g But it kind
of feels like how the WWE gave up the rules
of it being real at one point, right because they
always stayed in the character and then all of a
sudden they stopped the NBA and fighting and sports. They
still put up that illusion that ruse that it's legit
(18:41):
when maybe it's all planned out or maybe it is legit,
but they still are legit. I don't know, it's it's
not impossible. I do believe that it's improbable. I do
believe that they just got lucky, But it's not impossible,
dude from odonnahee from a business stort point, from a standpoint, yeah,
when there's that much money involved and if it's good
for the league and favors are being done well. Yesterday
(19:03):
we went over businessmen try to pull one over on anybody,
and they think the viewing audience is dumb. We went
over the possible landing spots for a Cooper flag yesterday
with Dan Bayer, and of the top three highest odds,
we said, maybe Utah gus I got good coaching and
they're revamping that that basketball program, and maybe the Utah
Jazz was a good landing spot. But the other options
seems sort of like like the way you go to die.
(19:25):
You know, no offense like Charlotte Hornets Washington. Yeah, no fas.
So you know, you take a guy like Cooper Flag
and you put him on a team with Kyrie and
a d both healthy. You don't have a team that
like might compete. You have a team that kuvera will
be a top five team in the West. Oh, they're
back in it. Yeah, for sure, they're in the mix
again without a doubt. You know, he went from possibly
(19:47):
playing for a twenty win team to a contending team. Yeah,
that would be the difference there. That would be the
assumption anyway for a Cooper Flag. Hop balls. It's the
hot ball theory. You heard it here first the hot
balls scandal with the Mavericks, not the not the frozen envelope,
the hot balls, the hop ball. Personally, I think it's magnets.
(20:08):
How did it work? How do those magnets? No, I
don't care, okay, but what if it's magnets? Well, and
how do they work? Well? Think think about you know
when you're when those balls are popping around like your
Yolando vega with the you know the lottery numbers, they're
all ping pong balls, right, I mean what you're right,
what if there's magnets Sam.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
The Knicks theory in nineteen eighty five for Patrick Ewing
was the as you guys are saying, frozen envelope, bent corner. Yeah,
but you visually could see the tumbler. You could visually
see the envelope.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
What makes this so secretive is no one sees it.
All we see is them unveiling the cards from the
predetermined lotto drawing coming out of the hopper. That was
one person saw, maybe two people saw. Like that adds
actually more to the theory of what is going on
behind closed doors as opposed to maybe sleight of hand
(21:00):
that happened right in front of you forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know, Richie, you're just not in the room where
it happens. Stevie, that's such an amazing point because you know,
I'll be honest. I gotta be honest with you guys.
Perhaps because I was at the gym and I didn't
see it. Every time I've seen the draft lottery, you
know winners. You're right, it's they They're all sitting there
and they hold up the logo of the team. I thought,
maybe someone did see this. And if you're confirming that
(21:25):
no one really sees the balls being picked then, and.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
There's someone from a law firm, maybe two people in
the room. A couple people are the ones that conduct
it because they don't want any leaks, they don't want
any drama.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
But envelope some money.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Knows.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Hey, Charlotte Hornets, you like being in the league, right, yeah?
She that does seem Look it's fair, and we're doing
is speculating, guys, because nobody really knows. As I mentioned,
we're not in the room where it happened. But when
there's that much money to be made and that much
money to be had and spent and bought, anybody could
(21:59):
be bought to shut up and let it happen because
it's good for the league.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
They used to show the actual drawing of the ping
pong p.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
It was like, yeah, like a lot, like an actual lot. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Let me bring up one more point.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And this is by no means to be insensitive, but
you know, we were living in New York during nine
to eleven, and you know there are people that have
all crazy conspiracies about terrible days like that.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
And I will say, you saw.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Plane hit towers awful, you saw things happen the fact
that they never released footage of a plane hitting the
Pentagon is why people are like, what really hit the Pentagon?
You could put that to rest if there were video
of that. Not to compare one of the worst days
in US history to an NBA lottery, but when you
don't have the visual proof of something, it leaves your
(22:47):
mind open to wander. But plus, you never saw the
plane parts.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Really it is.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, so it's like you never saw real evidence and
people just want the evidence. But if you if you
leave it in this day and age, though, people we'll
get the evidence and the Internet will just be like, well, no,
we can explain this away. We can find that a way,
you know what. That's what Danny g was insinuating. We
were having our little pre show meeting in the lobby
when Shaq Diesel was walking in. We said, hey, what's up,
shak He's like, what are you guys talking about. We
(23:15):
were saying, how you can have the proof right there
in your face and you're still gonna believe what you want.
Everything points into the direction of man that is fixed
and even me, I don't want to believe it really
like a come on, I want to feel I want
to feel like, even though we're all the evidence is
there for you to believe that, there's no way, dude.
I want to feel like, even though we're the lightest,
(23:36):
most fun show on sports radio, I'd like to think that,
you know, we don't take anything too serious. We're having
a lot of fun. I still think we're above saying conspiracy.
But I still there's a part of me it's like,
you know, me and me it is kind of wild. Ah,
And I think social media has sort of conditioned our
minds to amplify it. A lot of crazy thoughts. Yeah, yeah,
to be like, ad get out of here. I'm not
(23:58):
believing that because as you see so much hogwash and
bs on social media, your automatic default now is like, nah,
that can't be true. I'll believe it when I see it.
And we're seeing this right before our eyes, but our
default is nah, they wouldn't do that. Come on, I mean,
they think we're that stupid. Then again, did we really
(24:19):
see it or did we just see names being called?
And again, let me read that once dot I thought
it was really interesting. I screenshot it. That's my method here.

two were one in one thousand, MAVs Spurs Sixers Combo

NBA Playoffs. I saw Shack Diesel in the hallway. We're
going to do some trivia, giving away prizes, and of
course the big Pat Rose announcement. We will get to
that at the top of the hour at three pm
on the West. I was called it the big shoetless
Joe Jackson noose. You could caunt that too. We'll talk
about that a half hour from now. I'm excited. It's
a lot of someome thoughts about that as well. There's
(26:14):
a lot of fun to get Veino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio, Danny g Javier, Sam dan Byer, the
best in the biz, spots on the videos at Covino
and Rich and your phone calls eight seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox. But right now, we're live from
the Fox Sports Radio studio. For over forty years, ti
Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for
how what and where they drive, ship fast and free
back by, free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like
(26:37):
mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com the way tire
buying should be. And as we get to your phone
calls about conspiracies rigged the NBA Draft lottery last night,
you said something off there. I just had to point
out it's so true. I was Sam telling us that
his confirmation name is Javier last week might be one
(26:57):
of my favorite moments of our show. It sounds like
like like Jerry finding out that Kramer's middle name was
Javier really or his real name, and he's like what
in Cosmo? Cosmo? It just sounds like something you see
on a sitcom.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It really impacted you that much.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Really, the whitest guy we know, cotton headed Ninny Muggins,
and your confirmation name was Javier from what really is?
Honestly you are like any sitcom neighbor. I would say, everybody,
thank you, thank you. All right now to your phone calls.
We'll wrap up the draft lottery and like you said,
lots of great stuff. We'll get to Pete Rose and
(27:38):
news out of Baseball Shack, Diesel trivia. Let's go to
Big Burt in Georgia, Big Burt, you're alwa with CNR.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Hey god, hey, I just want to make sure it's
Big Burt, not big Butt.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What's like big butt not big Burt?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
But hey, you know, the the whole conspiracy theory.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Is not always rainbows and sunshine. Speaking as a New
York Nicknam, we got Patrick Ewan in the shadiest form,
but did we ever get a championship? No, Well, we
really need to look at these Vegas connections with Dallas
and the bookies and see what Nico bet it on.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You know, our buddy Wes speaking of Vegas, Our buddy
Wes in Vegas, one of our good pals, listener of
the show. He did point out something interesting. He goes,
so quote conspiracy theories. Over the years, things that we
thought were conspiracies end up being not so conspiracy. Conspiracy
after all, he said, some of the things people thought
were facts about COVID nine to eleven. There are things
(28:34):
throughout life where as more and more comes out, like
maybe it's not totally untrue, but parts of it are
our cover ups.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
The Tuck rule is still one hundred rigged rule.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
But if you've been told your entire life. He said,
that's something or sounds or looks too good to be true.
Probably is bs we smoke, there's fire.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Rich what we're we looking at on Reddit. During the
commercial break.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Danny G showed me the feed of when they actually
little ping pong balls are popping up, and there was
some lawyers and media on standby, but again where their
pockets lined. Yeah, but I never know. They don't really
publicize that broadcast, which is odd when you think about
how everything's a spectacle nowadays, everything's a big event. What
I read actual the actual lottery of this. And by
(29:20):
the way, there's an update. It's the old sticky Balls conspiracy.
It's not hot balls. Sticky Balls, Oh got time constraints.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Covin knows. What I read is why they've switched it
up a little bit, because, yeah, they used to show
the long process and people fell asleep.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
People's gender reveals and birth announcements are more elaborate than this.
And we're talking the NBA and again the winning numbers
were ten, fourteen, eleven, and seven. The maps getting the
number one pick the Sticky Balls with the Sticky Balls dB.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
There was also only seven teams in the lottery at
one point. Now there's fourteen, so like you didn't have
as many teams in the league at that time, seven
or eight teams.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Another great point.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Really fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Now it's the opposite of the Remember in the home
alone two of the sticky bandits, like you just stick
your hand in, the sticky balls will stick to you.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Here we go, pops up.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
All right, Well, the MAVs and the Spurs, and we're
gonna wrap it up with this phone call. Yeah, that's
Charles in Florida.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Hey, Charles, what's buddy.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
What's good? I'm calling you from Cape Cole, Florida. How
are you guys doing today?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Good man?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (30:20):
All right? So it's all rigged, brother, it's all rigged.
I mean I have friends that score. They were gonna
stop watching the NFL when they went to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Uh okay, So so what you are you are one
of these guys. To hear his explanation, I was gonna say, Charles,
you're one of these guys that truly believes sports are rigged.
Did he drop Charles? Oh my god, the NBA dropped.
They got to him. They got to him.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Oh no, Charles, he got sniped.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You know, man, Sorry, Charles, you knew too much.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
He knew too much?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
All right, So hey NBA Draft lottery, Uh hey, it
was fun yesterday.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I think you know what rigged or not?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Pretty cool to think that Cooper Flag is going to
go to a team that matters and instead of watching
a young guy struggle on a bad team, we're gonna
watch a young stud player jump right in with a
d and Kyrie into the mix and a squad. So
it should be interesting and you know the Spurs are
gonna get better. Wemby like you're you're setting the NBA up,
which is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
You know it would be great Nico trades this pick.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, I saw those memes yesterday. Hilarious. By the way,
there is a side question that doesn't necessarily save his job?
Does it just because they got lucky?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
No, there's no guarantee that Flag is going to be
a wonderful NBA player.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Right because sating like, oh man, he's all happy now,
It's like, yeah, is he safe?
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I heard I told you about you heard people at
the gym talking about this. I go, you know, do
that save Nico Harrison's job? And the guy screamed back
me no, that Bee's gonna get fired anyway. I'm like, Okay,
some people think his days are numbered regardless, So we
shall see.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
But let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
dB guys, breaking news from Major League Baseball as they
have ended the lifetime bands of seventeen deceased individuals that
includes Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, taking the players
off of the permanently ineligible list and a letter to
the attorney for Pete Rose, Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said, quote,
(32:27):
a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat
to the integrity of the game. Manfred calling the move
a policy issue, stating the permanent ineligibility ends upon the
passing of the disciplined individual. Now, this does not mean
that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson will automatically be
enshrinding Cooperstown completely separate deal. However, they are now eligible
(32:48):
to be enshrined in Cooperstown, as the Baseball Hall of
Fame says, the Historical Overview Committee will develop the ballot
of eight names for the Classic Baseball Era Committee, which
evaluates candidates who made the greatest impact on the game
prior to nineteen eighty to vote on when it meets
next in December of twenty twenty seven, So if they
were to go into the Hall, they would need twelve
(33:09):
out of sixteen votes from that Classic Baseball Era committee,
and that vote does not take place for another.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Two plus years.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Celtics forward Jason Tatum under went successful surgery today to
repair his tornrd achilles tendon. After suffering the injury and
last night's Game four lost to the Knicks, the estate
of Paul Allen announced they have begun the process of
selling the Portland crow Blazers. Damian excuse me, Donovan Mitchell
remains a game time decision for the Cavs as they
host the Pacers in tonight's Game five, seven o'clock Eastern time,
(33:38):
Nuggets and Thunder nine thirty Eastern Time. That series tied
up at to a piece. Some schedule releaks schedule leaks
from the NFL as it will be released tomorrow. Vikings
and Steelers in Dublin, Ireland week four September twenty eighth,
Then the next week Vikings stay overseas, but they'll play
in London against the Cleveland Browns. Falcons and Colts will
(33:59):
be playing in Germany any Commanders and Dolphins week eleven,
November sixteenth, playing in Madrid, Spain, Eagles and Packers on
a Monday night in Lambeau in week ten on November tenth. Finally,
Rory McElroy, Scotti, Scheffler and Xander Schoffley will tee off
at eight twenty two Eastern Time Thursday morning in the
first round of the PGA Championship at Quell Hollow As
that group will be paired together for the first two
(34:20):
rounds of the second major of the year.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Guys, back to you now, deb was it the Vikings,
you said, head back to back euro Games.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Yes, they'll be playing in Ireland and then in London. Now,
this is the first time to do it in two
international countries. We've seen the Jaguars be over there for
consecutive weeks, but the Vikings will be the first to
go from Ireland to England.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, if you're a guy with a couple extra ducats
in the bank account, if you invested in Tesla a
month ago when I went up twenty five, for sure,
that's a pretty cool. Like if you have the time
to take off of work, like we're going to go
for a week and back end the Vikings games. What
a cool international trip that would be for a Vikings fan.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
One hundred percent. And I actually think it's a benefit.
I'd rather play the Steelers in Dublin than I would
in Pittsburgh, or the Browns in Week seventeen in Cleveland,
or how about in week five in London. I actually
think it could be a benefit for them.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
No, you just gave our boss an idea. You know.
I thought of that because our our boss loves to
do those fun trips. I would not be shocked if
he's like, yeah, boys, I'm going to London and Ireland.
Sounds like a fun time. He's like skull, he's paying
his face purple as we speak.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
All right, hey, we got more Covin on Rich and
we are going to dive way more into that Pete
row shoeless, Joe Jackson, big dive in, head first, helmet
flying off like Pete Rose into it, hair flopping. Yeah,
can't wait. First more CNR next, Welcome back to CNR
on FSR, Covino and Rich. We're on the streets. By
(35:47):
the way, is that we're filling in for DP on Friday?
If we're on the street means we are then, Yes,
there you go. I'm just trying to hype it up,
trying to make people speculate. We're talking. Yeah, we're gonna
be Friday morning, join us on the Dan Patrick Show early,
like mister Furley, gonna be out early. We are in
(36:07):
the lawn my pull an all nighter at the Regal
Beagle and just head there to fill in for DP. Right,
it was down there Larry Dallas with a women named
Lallana another seventies eighties names. You know I was watching
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. It's on Netflix,
I believe, which, by the way, it's so inappropriate from
today's standard, even though it's a happy ending. Yeah. Did
(36:28):
you know Larry is in that movie Larry Dallas. Yeah,
Larry Dallas from Trees Company. I'm like, there he is. Anyway,
We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's
time for our tire rack Play of the day. Are
the Knicks really just one went away from the Eastern
Conference Finals?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yes, rebound Robinson Hants took Bridges, who's had the pall
on his hands now for all three. Nick Quibbs over
the defending champion Boston Celtics. The New York Knicks have
done it again. One twenty one, one thirteen, and they've
got the champs back on the ropes a three to
one series lead. At the Eastern Conference semi.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Finals, Madison Square Garden was popping. I'm telling you New
York Basketball. It hasn't been like this since the Ewing
Stark stage, speaking of that frozen novelove that the stars
were out. Yeah, sand to see Jason TAM's injury a
little bittersweet as the Knicks go up three games to one.
That's the courtesy of Knicks Radio Network. And that's the
tire Rack play of the day. And for over forty years,
(37:26):
Tireck's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com. Wait tire buying
should be now coming up next downur just so you know,
shack Diesel trivia. And we're diving headfirst, like Pete Rose
into this band that was lifted in the MLB. We're
(37:50):
gonna talk Pete Rose, Joe Jackson and more. Okay, but
real quick, right quick, eight seven to seven ninety nine
on Fox. Let's wrap up some of the other stuff
we were talking about. Yeah, I mean Charles's back, we thought, uh,
you got sniped. Yeah, Charles and Florida. Your thoughts on
you're the guy, You're the type of guy that thinks
a lot of sports are rigged.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Correct.
Speaker 7 (38:09):
I don't want to believe that. I grew up in
Chicago in the nineties and Mike was my jam. Yeah,
I wanted to be like Mike. You know, I was
taking the I couldn't dunk the headdle up. But you
know you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Of course, man.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
But but you think, like you look at that NFL
draft lottery of the NBA Draft lottery and you think,
to yourself, it's got to be fixed. That's your mindset.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
It's got to be I mean, but the odds, the
odds of like didn't get in both. And then here's
the thing, what about all the other sports too? Like
what about what about the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey day.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Yeah, and it makes a lot of sense as to
why maybe they got rid of Luca. Maybe they had
prior knowledge of that information, they knew that was going
to happen. Maybe that's why it all. It does make
it make more sense, right because in the middle of nowhere,
in the middle of the night, they make that trade
for what. I'll say this, I know what I love
(39:04):
to watch. I'm trash TV. I heard Spot say smut.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
No, that's that.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Okay, yeah, it's smut Islands. No. I I love to
watch dumb stuff like ancient aliens and conspiracy documentaries. But
at the end of the day, in fact, the beginning,
middle one, end of the day, I don't really believe
all of it, but damn it's fun, and I think
when we have these conversations, man, it really is fun
to talk about guys in a secret room and being like, oh,
(39:33):
the Mavericks are gonna get the first pick because they
gave up Luke to the Lakers and did the league
of solid It's so much fun to talk about.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
But really.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It didn't happen that way. I like to believe that,
come on the league.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
But some of these sports conspiracies gotta be true, right,
I mean not all of them. Yeah, not everything is
what it appears.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
I choose to not believe that just for my own sanity, Like,
there's no way I know, we're not going to get
into a whole conspiracy deba because we're gonna get to
Pete Rose next. But do you believe the Calbriken Jr.
Kevin Costner's story.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yes, that one is fun.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I also believe. I also believe in Bigfoot, but I
just believe that Bigfoot.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Is blurry, that's all.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh that's why I, like Mitch Hedberg said, anyone ever
think that Bigfoot's just blurry? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
That's he can't get a good picture of him.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
No, you can.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
He's just blurry.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Do you know? They try to clear it up with
today's technology, and they're saying, like the muscle definition would
be hard to replicate back then in that way, he's
that ripped that Yeah, because you actually see muscles moving
when he's walking.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
That it has to be real.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
So you're saying Bigfoot did cross from Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Do you guys know that in Cincinnati they were already
set for it to be Pete Rose Knight. Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Our buddy Mauser, he's a big Reds fan, hit us
up and he goesquincidence. Coincidentally, look at that tomorrow, Pete
Rose Knight at the stadium. Look at that, all right?
So we are going to talk about Pete Rose as
a big story revolving around Pete and shootless Joe Jackson
other banned players will get to that next. Cavino on

I saw Shack in the hallway. He's ready and I'd
be rocking out.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Also, I have a theory as to why.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Barry Bond should fake his Death'll cover it up. I'm
assuming we're also talking Pete Rose and Joe Jackson. Yes,
even though I'm more of a Tito Jackson guy rest
in peace and Rose from Golden Girls.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, yes, so I'm Cavino.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That is rich Tacos Locals Forever Carnalitos on a Taco Tuesdayday.
Iowa Sam's official Taco Tuesday name is Javier, So there
he is Javier Sam on the Ones and Tues and
Danny G Radio Danny Radio Super Producing eight seven, seven
(01:48):
ninety nine on Fox. So hope you had a great
Monday night. A Knicks Timberwolves sort of Monday night tonight,
some big games. Well, the Pacers put it away, so
we get that Nick Pacers rivalry back, probably Nuggets Thunder,
some exciting stuff tonight. A Peede Alonzo teb midnight, like kicking.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Those sacrifice fly get out of here.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Here's the weakest Michael Jackson dance move I've ever seen.
But I hope you had a pee Alonzo sort of night.
Not a Oswaldo Cabrera Jason Tatum sort of night, because
that was painful to watch. Just high stakes for the Celtics.
Pretty much could count them out. Tatum with the well,
I think he has the m R today right, the
(02:30):
right leg injury underwent surgery for Achilles and Oswaldo Cabrera
left ankle fractures.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So just a gruesome, gruesome night of injury.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You're like, ooh, you know what, Rich, We're gonna talk
about the reaction because I find it hard to watch,
so I don't want to see it, So we're gonna
get to that. But just so that we're correct here,
I'm right in saying he already had the surgery, right, Like,
it's been diagnosed and surgery has been had, so Getty
speculation is no guys in the hospital had the surgery already,
so we him. Well, feel bad for the Celtics fans
(03:03):
feel bad for Jason Tatum? Beatum. I don't you feel
bad for Celtics fans? Beat it Celtics fan, yeah, because
I mean, look, I understand that they're a hateable franchise
and defending champions all that stuff, but you don't want
to see star players down.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Danny G. I could promise you feels bad for Jason
Tatum as a human. Do you think Danny G, a
lifelong Lakers fan, feels bad for the Celtics fans.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Jason Tatum's a little different though, because he's a long
time Kobe supporter. Yeah, so I wish Tatum was a Laker.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I feel bad for any fan who watches their superstar
go down an injury like that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I thought the wheelchair was a bad move, though I
would have waved it off, especially if I'm a Celtic.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The Celtics their pants and wheelchairs, from what I understand,
in a key situation. And again, the Zualdo Cabrera injury,
which I was glued to last night, was such a
somber broadcast and no one's really speculating before we get
into all the fun stuff rich Right and the Mavericks.
Big night rigged, as everyone is saying, which is ridiculous.
(04:01):
But we'll get there. Just one quick question. Ten to
five ninth inning, you tag up to get that eleventh run?
No one's really questioning that. Was it that important for
the dude to extend himself on a sacrifice fly when
they were up ten to five in the ninth Yeah,
I'll tell you what I mean, Maybe we can ask
him because no one's speculating on that. Everyone's just really
(04:23):
talking about how unfortunate. That injury was his ankle four
point eighty but still just a fracture. He's on the
ten day DL and now le Mayhew's off the DL,
so that's how that works out ten days. He might
as well put him on the one thousand day D
with that. But you saw that act well as of
now that's what you're saying. But I'll tell you why
they did the tag up. You're right, they're up five
runs ninth inning. It's low risk like it. Listen, if
(04:45):
the Eagles are up seventeen with three minutes ago and
Sakoon gets hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Because he's in the game, bonehead move.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
If Mahomes gets sacked and the Chiefs are up or
down twenty one points in the fourth quarter, you know,
asinine play.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Hey, a tag up from third?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
What is it? One in a million? But there's a
better chance of the Mavericks winning the draft lottery. He
tried to avoid the catcher. He goes around the bag
his speed and his momentum locks his ankle, distorts his
body in a weird way, spins his ankle. His whole
leg look like it was backwards in that moment, and
(05:24):
a real painful somber situation for a really well liked
and fun got to root for Oswalda Cabrera, so wishing
him and Tatum the best moving forward. But let's get
into the other fun stuff and we'll talk more about
that later on. Of course, gruesome injuries and your reaction
to them. I want to get to that. But last night, dude,
not only a Nix and Timberwolf sort of night, a
(05:45):
Mavericks sort of Maverick with the number one pick in
the lottery obviously getting Cooper Flag from Duke and the
Spurs got the number two pick. Did you call him
goober flag because he's a little goobers And I called
you a goober?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I said, Cooper Flag, goober flag.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And you know everyone's saying rig today because there was
a one percent chance of this happening. You know, Nico
Harrison feeling a sense of relief. Maverick fans are like,
what the odds of the MAVs and Spurs landing the
one and two were one in one thousand, and the
MAVs Spurs sixers combo in the top three was one
(06:21):
in ten thousand, so odds were way against this happening.
It makes you scratch your head and say what well,
I want to put in perspective, guys that did the math,
there was a better chance of Lloyd Christmas getting with
Mary Swanson.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I don't think he had a one percent chance.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So you're saying there's a chance. I think that we
all felt the same way. I went to the gym
right after the show yesterday. So you're telling me there's
a chance one in a billion. Tell the Jim, why
don't you break about it? I mean, was that your
first time this month? Look at these pecks, bro. So
I go to the gym and without fail the minute
Danny G texts me and he's like, Yo, people are
(07:04):
gonna say it's rigged. You watch Danny. They didn't skim
a beat. The dude checking in with his little phone
scanner at the desk was like, yo, you see that
Mavericks first word rigged.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It was the hot envelope scandal.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And the guy behind the desk is like, Yo, the
NBA is totally rigged. And I watched it firsthand. The
chit chat at the gym simultaneously Danny G saying social
media is blowing up saying rigged, Well, hold on, how
could you not think that when there is a one
percent chance of that one point eight? Fine, thank you, howvier, Sam?
(07:38):
And then when you think about all the ups and
downs the team just went through with trading Luca out
of nowhere overnight, all the controversy there surrounding the ownership,
all the injuries that went down, the deal, everybody chanting
fire Nico, and all of a sudden they're number one
with a one point eight behind this.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
This was part of the deal.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So I'm not saying that's the case.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm saying I understand that people are buzzing about it. Wait,
the same people that are behind this, are they the
same people that write the script for the NFL? Okay, No,
that's fair, Rio are saying that's craziness. Is crazy talk
to think that sort of thing. But we also like
to think that there's no cheating with officiating and things
like that. Yet we've seen it and known it to
(08:24):
be true. One of my favorite potential scandals of all time,
because I think it really is tricky and awesome. Yeah,
but how many times do people say that the officiating's
rigged and they're like, get out of here, dude. Yeah,
Donnie admitted it, and we have the proof so it's
not like it's impossible that these things could happen, and
there's a reason why there's a buzz and Rich, there's
low probability.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I do understand.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Rich. You always point out about judges ex judges and
lawyers and people involved in our pre shiow meaning we're
talking about a law firm maybe presiding over the NBA draft.
And I looked it up though it says the NBA
handles the legal aspects of the NBA draft through its
own internal legal department.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So it's not like where they have the Oscars or
the Grammys and they're like well represented by it. They
have their own lawyers in house, their own counsel. Well,
I'll say this, one of my favorite potential scandal slash
conspiracies is the nineteen eighty five Nicks Patrick Ewing draft.
Where was was the envelope frozen and cold so that
(09:26):
whoever stuck their hand in was like I said, it
was the hot Yeah, like ooh like, and it's the
Knicks aren't. Really that's a stretch, though. You think you
could dig your hand in a bunch of envelopes and
decipher which one's the cold. I told you, Yeah, if
I told you there's you know, at that time, twenty
something envelopes in a in a you know you're gonna
(09:48):
be able to pick the one out of twenty seven
that feels cold that the cold doesn't transfer onto any envelope.
It's just the one, dude. It was in there with
your auto pops. It was like if one if that is,
like Danny g said Hamlin, Hamlin and mcguil are involved
in this, so it has to be legit. Well, all
I'm saying is nowadays though, where there's social media and
(10:09):
people love to speculate, and everyone is a little sleuth, right,
Everyone wants to be their own little solving murder, you
know podcast. You don't think that someone would be investigating
the whole process.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What is it is?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Is it like lottery balls?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean I didn't watch last night.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
What are we?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
What are we doing these days?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, it's it's like.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
A lottery balls, right, I mean one weighted was one
way and then hot balls scandal. One ball was actually
it was extra hot for the Mavericks. Oh there was
a warm one for the Spurs in the case of
the old hot ball, Yeah, the old hot ball scandal.
This one doesn't involve rich.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know what, To me, those balls are perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, there was a you get somebody to like lean
into this. Remember when Lebron did that pretty open interview
with Pat McAfee. He talked about the NBA being rigged.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Take a listen, listen, man, during the ball drop, you know,
during the lottery drop, Cleveland got the number one pick.
That's I just don't think that was just keep Lebron home.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know what, Patrick going to the Knicks, you know,
Darren Rose.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
To the Bull.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I understand Simon, guys, you know, so you know, I
had to make sure that, you know, I had to
do my part.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
He's also being a little cheeky there, joking around, insinuating
there's some truth to it. But I'm just joking and
I want to know how you guys feel about it.
Before we took about reactions to injuries and Shack Diesel trivia.
The other big story of the night, the Mavericks with
the number one pick Spurs number two?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Do you believe that it could be rigged?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Anything's possible, right, And I'm going to tell you that
I choose to believe that the Mavericks just got really lucky.
And you know, it's it's improbable, not impossible. Then answer,
we saw the one point eight percent chance happen, which
is wild. That's like get that's what I like to
It's like getting strict by light. Yeah, it happens bitten
(12:14):
by a shark. Kid, you know, it happens to people,
and that's why they were pumped about it getting a
plane crash.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
They're all acting and they're all in on it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
If you want some lottery numbers to play later, the
winning combination of ping pong balls that earned Dallas the
number one pick ten fourteen eleven and seven. Oh, those
are the numbers right now, ten fourteen eleven seven.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know, Danny G.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I want you Sam Dan Bayer Cavino, And in fact,
I want the Fox Sports Radio Nation to hit us
up eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox for anyone
that genuinely thinks maybe it is rag Maybe this is
the Denver Airport, or maybe this is we landed on
the moon.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Maybe not?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Is this the who shot JFK. If you believe in
you know, all the wild conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Earth is flat?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The Earth is flat? All right, Kyrie, then answer me
this for real. I'm not mocking. I'm curious how do
you think they did it? Do you think it was
a weighted ball? Do you think the league got in
with the owners, because no owner would agree to this,
So you think it was a one on one like
Nico Harrison Mavericks meeting, like, hey, listen, we did you
(13:22):
solid lucas a light For that to happen, yeah, you
have to have some sort of plan, right, and some
sort of schemery. And like Danny g insinuated anyone that
was sold him that the law firm is involved in.
Anyone that would bowl the whistle can't be involved. So
this says to be like a secret inside job. So
if you think that, you know twenty you know this
is a shady saw Goodman.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It is their own lawyers now employed by the NBA
in house. Like I said, saw Goodman, they could, Yeah,
they could be in on it. So if you think
you would hope they're not.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
If you think Shenanigan's may play it was his name,
Jimmy McGill, Yeah, but Jimmy slipping, jim slipping Jimmy situation,
I think wait is slipping Jimmy involved? Yea, so I
said Hamlin Hamlin McGill, I know, but yeah, slip in Jimmy,
because that's extra shady. If you think everyone's involved in
that way, is that impossible? No? But I don't think
(14:13):
that's happening. You know, for every conspiracy I didn't, I
never believe that frozen envelope in this situation. The first
thing I always ask myself in a conspiracy is how
many people would have to completely shut their mouth be
involved being on it without blowing, you know, whistleblowing right.
I believe that I believe more in the Colombian alien
(14:34):
sphere that they found this week, more than I believe
that this was rigged. Damn. Buy You're a reasonable guy,
are you? Are you just minding your own now because
you feel like it's all hogwashed? Or do you think
there's some some possibility that there's you know, injustice, it's rigged,
it's a tom foolery.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
I do feel that there is an undercurrent of possible
tomfoolery or rigging, if you will. I am not happy
that the Mavericks were the ones who were to benefit
from it, and that would be the team that you
could most likely connect to the rigging, not because of
them being the Mavericks, but because they gave Luca to
the Lakers. That's if Luca was traded to the Orlando Magic.
(15:16):
I don't think that there's a hey, here's a solid,
here's a tip of the cap, but hey, thanks so
much for putting one of our premier superstars to take
the torch from Lebron and our golden franchise and be
able to carry that on. So I could, I could
see it. I put it at fifty percent earlier, which
it was a bit of a stretch, but maybe around
twenty twenty five percent.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Big words, I you know, Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's it's interesting because that sense of while the Luca
you know, to the Lakers thing, Mavericks seemed to be
rewarded for this, well yeah, you hate to think that's true,
but of course, as possible at the beginning, middle end
of the day. It's a business so if it's good
for the league, it's good for everybody, and it could
(16:01):
be just a business move and they're just well, don't
you know if you're trying to make us believe that
this is the truth, you know how it's all you
know what people love to say, and I don't know
if this is true. I'm just repeating something I've seen
on social media, which is the problem with most conversations nowaday.
So my apologize every time people talk about, well, the NFL, oh,
(16:22):
you have the script and it's rigged. People love to
plot the fact that the NFL is registered as an
entertainment league or something to the nature that, like they're
off the hook if something ever came out like that.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Have you seen people say stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I don't know about the legality of it's registered as
an entertainment league, but even in the fight game, anytime
you see something go down like this, the first thing
they always say is, look, this is still entertainment. It
really is. They're trying to get people to watch. They're
trying to get people to tune in. It's all about
ratings and money. How many times if it's fighter the league,
(17:02):
it's possible. How many times can you know, has the
fighter that they needed to win to set up another
big fight lost in a close fight but they won
on the car because in a month or so, people
will forget because well, fighting's rigged, right, We know that
there's definitely rigging going on shadiness in the fight game,
but it's also a business and you also want to
(17:25):
be able to sell a fight. And if you can't
sell a fight because there's no personality behind it, then
you're failing in that entertainment factor of the sport, right,
which is part of it. This is just good for
the league. It's just a lot of drama for the league,
which could sell the league, which could be more money,
more ratings. And like Dan Byron sinuated a little backscratch
(17:47):
for the Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And we saw a lot of that good deal last night.
We saw a lot of that as far as the
Lakers go, Like it says, Chris Paul was traded from
New Orleans to LA, and then New Orleans gets the
number one pick. Ad was traded from New Orleans to LA.
New Orleans gets the number one pick, right Luca traded
to from Dallas to LA. Of course, Dallas gets the
number one pick. Lebron left Cleveland for Miami. Cleveland gets
(18:10):
three of the four next four number one picks, including
the one when Lebron came home to for the trade
for Kevin Love. Yeah, it just looks bad.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It kind of feels like it looks really bad when
you list all that out, Danny g But it kind
of feels like how the WWE gave up the rules
of it being real at one point, right because they
always stayed in the character and then all of a
sudden they stopped the NBA and fighting and sports. They
still put up that illusion that ruse that it's legit
(18:41):
when maybe it's all planned out or maybe it is legit,
but they still are legit. I don't know, it's it's
not impossible. I do believe that it's improbable. I do
believe that they just got lucky, But it's not impossible,
dude from odonnahee from a business stort point, from a standpoint, yeah,
when there's that much money involved and if it's good
for the league and favors are being done well. Yesterday
(19:03):
we went over businessmen try to pull one over on anybody,
and they think the viewing audience is dumb. We went
over the possible landing spots for a Cooper flag yesterday
with Dan Bayer, and of the top three highest odds,
we said, maybe Utah gus I got good coaching and
they're revamping that that basketball program, and maybe the Utah
Jazz was a good landing spot. But the other options
seems sort of like like the way you go to die.
(19:25):
You know, no offense like Charlotte Hornets Washington. Yeah, no fas.
So you know, you take a guy like Cooper Flag
and you put him on a team with Kyrie and
a d both healthy. You don't have a team that
like might compete. You have a team that kuvera will
be a top five team in the West. Oh, they're
back in it. Yeah, for sure, they're in the mix
again without a doubt. You know, he went from possibly
(19:47):
playing for a twenty win team to a contending team. Yeah,
that would be the difference there. That would be the
assumption anyway for a Cooper Flag. Hop balls. It's the
hot ball theory. You heard it here first the hot
balls scandal with the Mavericks, not the not the frozen envelope,
the hot balls, the hop ball. Personally, I think it's magnets.
(20:08):
How did it work? How do those magnets? No, I
don't care, okay, but what if it's magnets? Well, and
how do they work? Well? Think think about you know
when you're when those balls are popping around like your
Yolando vega with the you know the lottery numbers, they're
all ping pong balls, right, I mean what you're right,
what if there's magnets Sam.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
The Knicks theory in nineteen eighty five for Patrick Ewing
was the as you guys are saying, frozen envelope, bent corner. Yeah,
but you visually could see the tumbler. You could visually
see the envelope.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
What makes this so secretive is no one sees it.
All we see is them unveiling the cards from the
predetermined lotto drawing coming out of the hopper. That was
one person saw, maybe two people saw. Like that adds
actually more to the theory of what is going on
behind closed doors as opposed to maybe sleight of hand
(21:00):
that happened right in front of you forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know, Richie, you're just not in the room where
it happens. Stevie, that's such an amazing point because you know,
I'll be honest. I gotta be honest with you guys.
Perhaps because I was at the gym and I didn't
see it. Every time I've seen the draft lottery, you
know winners. You're right, it's they They're all sitting there
and they hold up the logo of the team. I thought,
maybe someone did see this. And if you're confirming that
(21:25):
no one really sees the balls being picked then, and.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
There's someone from a law firm, maybe two people in
the room. A couple people are the ones that conduct
it because they don't want any leaks, they don't want
any drama.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
But envelope some money.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Knows.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Hey, Charlotte Hornets, you like being in the league, right, yeah?
She that does seem Look it's fair, and we're doing
is speculating, guys, because nobody really knows. As I mentioned,
we're not in the room where it happened. But when
there's that much money to be made and that much
money to be had and spent and bought, anybody could
(21:59):
be bought to shut up and let it happen because
it's good for the league.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
They used to show the actual drawing of the ping
pong p.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
It was like, yeah, like a lot, like an actual lot. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Let me bring up one more point.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And this is by no means to be insensitive, but
you know, we were living in New York during nine
to eleven, and you know there are people that have
all crazy conspiracies about terrible days like that.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
And I will say, you saw.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Plane hit towers awful, you saw things happen the fact
that they never released footage of a plane hitting the
Pentagon is why people are like, what really hit the Pentagon?
You could put that to rest if there were video
of that. Not to compare one of the worst days
in US history to an NBA lottery, but when you
don't have the visual proof of something, it leaves your
(22:47):
mind open to wander. But plus, you never saw the
plane parts.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Really it is.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, so it's like you never saw real evidence and
people just want the evidence. But if you if you
leave it in this day and age, though, people we'll
get the evidence and the Internet will just be like, well, no,
we can explain this away. We can find that a way,
you know what. That's what Danny g was insinuating. We
were having our little pre show meeting in the lobby
when Shaq Diesel was walking in. We said, hey, what's up,
shak He's like, what are you guys talking about. We
(23:15):
were saying, how you can have the proof right there
in your face and you're still gonna believe what you want.
Everything points into the direction of man that is fixed
and even me, I don't want to believe it really
like a come on, I want to feel I want
to feel like, even though we're all the evidence is
there for you to believe that, there's no way, dude.
I want to feel like, even though we're the lightest,
(23:36):
most fun show on sports radio, I'd like to think that,
you know, we don't take anything too serious. We're having
a lot of fun. I still think we're above saying conspiracy.
But I still there's a part of me it's like,
you know, me and me it is kind of wild. Ah,
And I think social media has sort of conditioned our
minds to amplify it. A lot of crazy thoughts. Yeah, yeah,
to be like, ad get out of here. I'm not
(23:58):
believing that because as you see so much hogwash and
bs on social media, your automatic default now is like, nah,
that can't be true. I'll believe it when I see it.
And we're seeing this right before our eyes, but our
default is nah, they wouldn't do that. Come on, I mean,
they think we're that stupid. Then again, did we really
(24:19):
see it or did we just see names being called?
And again, let me read that once dot I thought
it was really interesting. I screenshot it. That's my method here.
The odds of the MAVs and Spurs landing one and
two were one in one thousand, MAVs Spurs Sixers Combo
top three, one in ten thousand chants. Not good odds,
not good odds, so one point eight percent it happened yesterday.
(24:41):

on the West. I was called it the big shoetless
Joe Jackson noose. You could caunt that too. We'll talk

a lot of someome thoughts about that as well. There's
(26:14):
a lot of fun to get Veino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio, Danny g Javier, Sam dan Byer, the
best in the biz, spots on the videos at Covino
and Rich and your phone calls eight seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox. But right now, we're live from
the Fox Sports Radio studio. For over forty years, ti
Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for
how what and where they drive, ship fast and free
back by, free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like
(26:37):
mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com the way tire
buying should be. And as we get to your phone
calls about conspiracies rigged the NBA Draft lottery last night,
you said something off there. I just had to point
out it's so true. I was Sam telling us that
his confirmation name is Javier last week might be one
(26:57):
of my favorite moments of our show. It sounds like
like like Jerry finding out that Kramer's middle name was
Javier really or his real name, and he's like what
in Cosmo? Cosmo? It just sounds like something you see
on a sitcom.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It really impacted you that much.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Really, the whitest guy we know, cotton headed Ninny Muggins,
and your confirmation name was Javier from what really is?
Honestly you are like any sitcom neighbor. I would say, everybody,
thank you, thank you. All right now to your phone calls.
We'll wrap up the draft lottery and like you said,
lots of great stuff. We'll get to Pete Rose and
(27:38):
news out of Baseball Shack, Diesel trivia. Let's go to
Big Burt in Georgia, Big Burt, you're alwa with CNR.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Hey god, hey, I just want to make sure it's
Big Burt, not big Butt.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What's like big butt not big Burt?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
But hey, you know, the the whole conspiracy theory.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Is not always rainbows and sunshine. Speaking as a New
York Nicknam, we got Patrick Ewan in the shadiest form,
but did we ever get a championship? No, Well, we
really need to look at these Vegas connections with Dallas
and the bookies and see what Nico bet it on.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You know, our buddy Wes speaking of Vegas, Our buddy
Wes in Vegas, one of our good pals, listener of
the show. He did point out something interesting. He goes,
so quote conspiracy theories. Over the years, things that we
thought were conspiracies end up being not so conspiracy. Conspiracy
after all, he said, some of the things people thought
were facts about COVID nine to eleven. There are things
(28:34):
throughout life where as more and more comes out, like
maybe it's not totally untrue, but parts of it are
our cover ups.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
The Tuck rule is still one hundred rigged rule.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
But if you've been told your entire life. He said,
that's something or sounds or looks too good to be true.
Probably is bs we smoke, there's fire.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Rich what we're we looking at on Reddit. During the
commercial break.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Danny G showed me the feed of when they actually
little ping pong balls are popping up, and there was
some lawyers and media on standby, but again where their
pockets lined. Yeah, but I never know. They don't really
publicize that broadcast, which is odd when you think about
how everything's a spectacle nowadays, everything's a big event. What
I read actual the actual lottery of this. And by
(29:20):
the way, there's an update. It's the old sticky Balls conspiracy.
It's not hot balls. Sticky Balls, Oh got time constraints.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Covin knows. What I read is why they've switched it
up a little bit, because, yeah, they used to show
the long process and people fell asleep.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
People's gender reveals and birth announcements are more elaborate than this.
And we're talking the NBA and again the winning numbers
were ten, fourteen, eleven, and seven. The maps getting the
number one pick the Sticky Balls with the Sticky Balls dB.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
There was also only seven teams in the lottery at
one point. Now there's fourteen, so like you didn't have
as many teams in the league at that time, seven
or eight teams.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Another great point.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Really fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Now it's the opposite of the Remember in the home
alone two of the sticky bandits, like you just stick
your hand in, the sticky balls will stick to you.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Here we go, pops up.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
All right, Well, the MAVs and the Spurs, and we're
gonna wrap it up with this phone call. Yeah, that's
Charles in Florida.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Hey, Charles, what's buddy.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
What's good? I'm calling you from Cape Cole, Florida. How
are you guys doing today?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Good man?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (30:20):
All right? So it's all rigged, brother, it's all rigged.
I mean I have friends that score. They were gonna
stop watching the NFL when they went to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Uh okay, So so what you are you are one
of these guys. To hear his explanation, I was gonna say, Charles,
you're one of these guys that truly believes sports are rigged.
Did he drop Charles? Oh my god, the NBA dropped.
They got to him. They got to him.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Oh no, Charles, he got sniped.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You know, man, Sorry, Charles, you knew too much.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
He knew too much?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
All right, So hey NBA Draft lottery, Uh hey, it
was fun yesterday.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I think you know what rigged or not?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Pretty cool to think that Cooper Flag is going to
go to a team that matters and instead of watching
a young guy struggle on a bad team, we're gonna
watch a young stud player jump right in with a
d and Kyrie into the mix and a squad. So
it should be interesting and you know the Spurs are
gonna get better. Wemby like you're you're setting the NBA up,
which is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
You know it would be great Nico trades this pick.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, I saw those memes yesterday. Hilarious. By the way,
there is a side question that doesn't necessarily save his job?
Does it just because they got lucky?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
No, there's no guarantee that Flag is going to be
a wonderful NBA player.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Right because sating like, oh man, he's all happy now,
It's like, yeah, is he safe?
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I heard I told you about you heard people at
the gym talking about this. I go, you know, do
that save Nico Harrison's job? And the guy screamed back
me no, that Bee's gonna get fired anyway. I'm like, Okay,
some people think his days are numbered regardless, So we
shall see.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
But let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
dB guys, breaking news from Major League Baseball as they
have ended the lifetime bands of seventeen deceased individuals that
includes Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, taking the players
off of the permanently ineligible list and a letter to
the attorney for Pete Rose, Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said, quote,
(32:27):
a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat
to the integrity of the game. Manfred calling the move
a policy issue, stating the permanent ineligibility ends upon the
passing of the disciplined individual. Now, this does not mean
that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson will automatically be
enshrinding Cooperstown completely separate deal. However, they are now eligible
(32:48):
to be enshrined in Cooperstown, as the Baseball Hall of
Fame says, the Historical Overview Committee will develop the ballot
of eight names for the Classic Baseball Era Committee, which
evaluates candidates who made the greatest impact on the game
prior to nineteen eighty to vote on when it meets
next in December of twenty twenty seven, So if they
were to go into the Hall, they would need twelve
(33:09):
out of sixteen votes from that Classic Baseball Era committee,
and that vote does not take place for another.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Two plus years.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Celtics forward Jason Tatum under went successful surgery today to
repair his tornrd achilles tendon. After suffering the injury and
last night's Game four lost to the Knicks, the estate
of Paul Allen announced they have begun the process of
selling the Portland crow Blazers. Damian excuse me, Donovan Mitchell
remains a game time decision for the Cavs as they
host the Pacers in tonight's Game five, seven o'clock Eastern time,
(33:38):
Nuggets and Thunder nine thirty Eastern Time. That series tied
up at to a piece. Some schedule releaks schedule leaks
from the NFL as it will be released tomorrow. Vikings
and Steelers in Dublin, Ireland week four September twenty eighth,
Then the next week Vikings stay overseas, but they'll play
in London against the Cleveland Browns. Falcons and Colts will
(33:59):
be playing in Germany any Commanders and Dolphins week eleven,
November sixteenth, playing in Madrid, Spain, Eagles and Packers on
a Monday night in Lambeau in week ten on November tenth. Finally,
Rory McElroy, Scotti, Scheffler and Xander Schoffley will tee off
at eight twenty two Eastern Time Thursday morning in the
first round of the PGA Championship at Quell Hollow As
that group will be paired together for the first two
(34:20):
rounds of the second major of the year.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Guys, back to you now, deb was it the Vikings,
you said, head back to back euro Games.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Yes, they'll be playing in Ireland and then in London. Now,
this is the first time to do it in two
international countries. We've seen the Jaguars be over there for
consecutive weeks, but the Vikings will be the first to
go from Ireland to England.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, if you're a guy with a couple extra ducats
in the bank account, if you invested in Tesla a
month ago when I went up twenty five, for sure,
that's a pretty cool. Like if you have the time
to take off of work, like we're going to go
for a week and back end the Vikings games. What
a cool international trip that would be for a Vikings fan.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
One hundred percent. And I actually think it's a benefit.
I'd rather play the Steelers in Dublin than I would
in Pittsburgh, or the Browns in Week seventeen in Cleveland,
or how about in week five in London. I actually
think it could be a benefit for them.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
No, you just gave our boss an idea. You know.
I thought of that because our our boss loves to
do those fun trips. I would not be shocked if
he's like, yeah, boys, I'm going to London and Ireland.
Sounds like a fun time. He's like skull, he's paying
his face purple as we speak.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
All right, hey, we got more Covin on Rich and
we are going to dive way more into that Pete
row shoeless, Joe Jackson, big dive in, head first, helmet
flying off like Pete Rose into it, hair flopping. Yeah,
can't wait. First more CNR next, Welcome back to CNR
on FSR, Covino and Rich. We're on the streets. By
(35:47):
the way, is that we're filling in for DP on Friday?
If we're on the street means we are then, Yes,
there you go. I'm just trying to hype it up,
trying to make people speculate. We're talking. Yeah, we're gonna
be Friday morning, join us on the Dan Patrick Show early,
like mister Furley, gonna be out early. We are in
(36:07):
the lawn my pull an all nighter at the Regal
Beagle and just head there to fill in for DP. Right,
it was down there Larry Dallas with a women named
Lallana another seventies eighties names. You know I was watching
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. It's on Netflix,
I believe, which, by the way, it's so inappropriate from
today's standard, even though it's a happy ending. Yeah. Did
(36:28):
you know Larry is in that movie Larry Dallas. Yeah,
Larry Dallas from Trees Company. I'm like, there he is. Anyway,
We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's
time for our tire rack Play of the day. Are
the Knicks really just one went away from the Eastern
Conference Finals?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yes, rebound Robinson Hants took Bridges, who's had the pall
on his hands now for all three. Nick Quibbs over
the defending champion Boston Celtics. The New York Knicks have
done it again. One twenty one, one thirteen, and they've
got the champs back on the ropes a three to
one series lead. At the Eastern Conference semi.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Finals, Madison Square Garden was popping. I'm telling you New
York Basketball. It hasn't been like this since the Ewing
Stark stage, speaking of that frozen novelove that the stars
were out. Yeah, sand to see Jason TAM's injury a
little bittersweet as the Knicks go up three games to one.
That's the courtesy of Knicks Radio Network. And that's the
tire Rack play of the day. And for over forty years,
(37:26):
Tireck's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com. Wait tire buying
should be now coming up next downur just so you know,
shack Diesel trivia. And we're diving headfirst, like Pete Rose
into this band that was lifted in the MLB. We're
(37:50):
gonna talk Pete Rose, Joe Jackson and more. Okay, but
real quick, right quick, eight seven to seven ninety nine
on Fox. Let's wrap up some of the other stuff
we were talking about. Yeah, I mean Charles's back, we thought, uh,
you got sniped. Yeah, Charles and Florida. Your thoughts on
you're the guy, You're the type of guy that thinks
a lot of sports are rigged.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Correct.
Speaker 7 (38:09):
I don't want to believe that. I grew up in
Chicago in the nineties and Mike was my jam. Yeah,
I wanted to be like Mike. You know, I was
taking the I couldn't dunk the headdle up. But you
know you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Of course, man.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
But but you think, like you look at that NFL
draft lottery of the NBA Draft lottery and you think,
to yourself, it's got to be fixed. That's your mindset.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
It's got to be I mean, but the odds, the
odds of like didn't get in both. And then here's
the thing, what about all the other sports too? Like
what about what about the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey day.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Yeah, and it makes a lot of sense as to
why maybe they got rid of Luca. Maybe they had
prior knowledge of that information, they knew that was going
to happen. Maybe that's why it all. It does make
it make more sense, right because in the middle of nowhere,
in the middle of the night, they make that trade
for what. I'll say this, I know what I love
(39:04):
to watch. I'm trash TV. I heard Spot say smut.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
No, that's that.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Okay, yeah, it's smut Islands. No. I I love to
watch dumb stuff like ancient aliens and conspiracy documentaries. But
at the end of the day, in fact, the beginning,
middle one, end of the day, I don't really believe
all of it, but damn it's fun, and I think
when we have these conversations, man, it really is fun
to talk about guys in a secret room and being like, oh,
(39:33):
the Mavericks are gonna get the first pick because they
gave up Luke to the Lakers and did the league
of solid It's so much fun to talk about.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
But really.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It didn't happen that way. I like to believe that,
come on the league.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
But some of these sports conspiracies gotta be true, right,
I mean not all of them. Yeah, not everything is
what it appears.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
I choose to not believe that just for my own sanity, Like,
there's no way I know, we're not going to get
into a whole conspiracy deba because we're gonna get to
Pete Rose next. But do you believe the Calbriken Jr.
Kevin Costner's story.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yes, that one is fun.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I also believe. I also believe in Bigfoot, but I
just believe that Bigfoot.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Is blurry, that's all.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh that's why I, like Mitch Hedberg said, anyone ever
think that Bigfoot's just blurry? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
That's he can't get a good picture of him.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
No, you can.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
He's just blurry.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Do you know? They try to clear it up with
today's technology, and they're saying, like the muscle definition would
be hard to replicate back then in that way, he's
that ripped that Yeah, because you actually see muscles moving
when he's walking.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
That it has to be real.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
So you're saying Bigfoot did cross from Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Do you guys know that in Cincinnati they were already
set for it to be Pete Rose Knight. Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Our buddy Mauser, he's a big Reds fan, hit us
up and he goesquincidence. Coincidentally, look at that tomorrow, Pete
Rose Knight at the stadium. Look at that, all right?
So we are going to talk about Pete Rose as
a big story revolving around Pete and shootless Joe Jackson
other banned players will get to that next. Cavino on
Ritch having some fun here on Fox Sports Radio. Hang tight,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
