Speaker 4 (00:36):
I'm just pumped. It's Thursday. Thursday's the new Friday. So
the weekend begins right now. Covino and rich In for

piece of Collins here two weeks here, hang now.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
What's up to? Hey guys, what's up man? Good to
see you again.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Great to see it. As the security guard of the
lobby said, happy Friday. When people say that, I'm like,
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but stop it.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's this thing though, he says that all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I appreciate of course, Danny g Ryan, Spotty, everybody's here.
If you got to chime in. You want something to
say on this important day, Like Rich said, lots going
down eight seven seven for the Herd eight seven seven
four the Herd, or hit us at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. Let the wild rumps start. Man,
I hope you had a great Wednesday night. I hope
(01:26):
all your teams won in dramatic fashion like mine did.
Did you see the Yankee game last night? I saw
a who is it? In the in the ninth inning
that forgot how many outs there were? Was that a
Grisham Wells Boston Wells pulled some little league bs? And
you know what, I want to mention that we have
lots to get to. It's not about the Yankees. I
know people hate when I talk about the Yankees, but
(01:47):
I do want to bring that up.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I also want to bring up the fact that it
looks like I'm going to the ball game today. Is
trade deadline Thursday? Right, We'll keep you posted too. He's
on standby with that look at us. Looks like I'm
already for the game. I didn't know they even sold
Volpy shirts that I have a value. Yeah, Vulpy T
shirt right, and it has the State of New Jersey.
(02:11):
In the oh of Vulpy, I'm wearing a Yankees hat
who sells those vulpi himself on it. Listen, it's a
whole story myself. I didn't buy it all right, but
I appreciate it. I'm grateful so someone sent it to me,
and I'll give them props later. But I want to
make the point that I'm doing the opposite of what
(02:32):
I hate. I'm walking the talk because I feel like
when your players are struggling, or when people in your
life are struggling, imagine if you lived the life. Let's
say you told a bad joke here on Fox Sports Radio,
and believe me, it happens. It'll happen multiple times a day,
hanging stand by, Imagine you were getting booed and discouraged
every time you messed up, every time you said a
(02:54):
wrong fact, every time.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You have flubbed the word during a live read. Boo suck.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I think an example of that is coming up in
fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean stand by for some fails, for sure, but
imagine if every time you failed or misstep at your job,
you were booed by the people that were supposed to
be rooting for you. That's always the most counterproductive thing
to me in life. This guy is playing on eggshells.
He's a league leading what sixteen errors now in the bigs.
The only thing keeping him alive is that his bat's
(03:28):
heating up a little bit, which is unbelievable when you
think about it. The dude is still hitting home runs,
and he hit a big one yesterday, and then of
course that base running blunder that you mentioned. He hit
a game tying home run in a crucial situation. Dude,
sixteen errors and Yankee fans are booing this guy, and
I understand why because it's frustrating, But does anyone under
(03:51):
the moon really thinks that ever helps the team you're
rooting for. It's the most counterproductive way of expressing your
feeling like you got to encourage these dudes.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
These are young men.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
We're talking about. Very mature of you. By the way, dude,
I'll never be that guy. You know, boo the opposing team.
I get your analogy. They'll give you a collin since
we are is the heard he loves actually had a
home field rich, It's ridiculous. I'll give you a colon
analogy Imagine if you were going through a divorce and
all your friends.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, imagine, I didd how many years ago?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
There?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I know you're on your phone with your ex wife
like ten minutes ago, and I saw you aggravated. Yeah,
what do you think I'll pull my hair out for
for fun. Imagine your buddy was going through divorce and
instead of supporting him, going out for a beer cheering
him up, You're like, man, you suck a relationships. Ha
you stink like that's the equivalent. That's the equivalent. And
again I get it. Let's say they're playing away. Yeah,
(04:43):
the away team's gonna boo him just because and to
get into his head and because he's made another error.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You're at home, you're making errors.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I understand the fans are frustrated, to believe me, so
am I I'm a fan, but it's the most counterproductive thing.
Let me teach you how to be a fan, one
oh one. Stop booing important players on your own team.
Encourage them, hype them up, because then they get the
yips and then they're in their own head and they
can't throw to first base anymore. So you know what
(05:12):
I'm doing, Guys, I'm not booing Anthony Vaulty.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Do I want to strangle that guy? Yes? Does he
have the potential? Yes?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
But instead I'm supporting him wearing this miserable T shirt.
You think I don't have three thousand other T shirts
to wear. No, I'm supporting the guy. The end not good.
I'm glad it's the end of Anthony Volpi. But there's
one more thing. Well, it's not the end. He's heating up.
There's a meme. This is fantastic, Thank you Danny g
super producing. There's a meme that says, Anthony Volpi in
(05:43):
twenty twenty five to sixteen batting average, sixteen errors, Pete
Gray in nineteen forty five, a guy that played with
one arm bat at two eighteen with fourteen errors. I know, dude,
But do you think booing him and getting booed at
his home field when he's trying?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I get it helps anybody, not just him, anyone. So again,
when you're at the game and a guy you're rooting
for isn't playing up to par I don't think booing
ever helps. You're supposed to boo the opposing team, the
gree No one's going to disagree. But yet there's idiots
that do it. I'm not that it change it to
(06:21):
the NFL for a second. More people love them some football.
When you're starting quarterback is struggling. I want to kiss you.
When you're starting quarterback is struggling. Struggling, and you know
they're not going to be replaced. I'm not talking about
a guy that you know has a short leash. When
people are called for the backup, is that equally counterproductive? Absolutely?
(06:45):
I mean, at least you have another option in this case, right,
But it's not helping that other guy. You're sort of
making a choice for the team right there. It's a
little different because volpies the dude they're invested in. There's
no one to back them up. You're waiting and wanting
him to perform.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Well.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
And I'll end it with this, I'm wearing a T shirt.
I'm trying to explain why because I support, I don't discourage.
I'm not booing the guy, right, but do you think
he'll end up with more errors or more home runs?
Because he has sixteen home runs? Ooh, and that's the
only reason he's still play. I mean, I hope for
his sake home runs. All right, Well, I mean that
(07:22):
you would hope. I mean has that's my little baby
rant of the day. Let's be better fans, I mean
is pretty obvious, and let's not be an amateur. This
isn't a little league, even though the Yankees made little
league errors last night.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
We'll get to that later.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Hi, Well, we're gonna talk a lot of NFL today,
are we are here? There's football from today until Valentine's Day,
so we got football tonight. Of course, Lions Chargers in
the Hall of Fame game, preseason kicksoff. So we're gonna
talk a lot of NFL. I have a major problem
with an NFL on Fox power ranking that to me
(07:56):
is like so disrespectful to a team. So we're gonna
be can I also share my problem with you and
other boneheads that put stock into these lists. It's just
a guy in his stupid opinion. No one is Madame
Ruby chat GPT can't predict the future. Nobody can. I mean,
so to put any value or stock into some Gabbroni
(08:18):
Jones's NFL power ranking, it means Diddley squat.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
But we do and I get it, and it's fun.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But half of these things are made just to be
brought up, and they'll throw something at landish in that
list just to get people buzzing and talking about it.
It doesn't really mean anything at all. I mean, I know,
we know that, but it ends up pissing people off anyway.
And for the record, Madame Ruby didn't know anything. She
told Pee Wee his bike was in the basement of
the Alamo, and there was no basement in the Alamo. However,
(08:46):
I don't know them. Did you see the update? They
actually have it there now for real? Yeah, for real,
they actually have it at the Alamo. His bike now.
A lot of NFL. Like I said, we're going to
talk about all that goes on from this point forward
in our lives. But I do want to give everyone
another moronic fan alert. Essentially, you talk about these fans
(09:09):
at BOO. They're starting quarterbacks, they're starting shortstops, like the
guys that you're supposed to pull for when they're going
through a rough time, but fans somehow boot them. In fact,
not to be too New York biased, but I'm a
Mets fan. And Francisco Lindor said that what he loved
more than anything was that when he went through his
terrible like oh for thirty Street. The fans never boot him,
(09:31):
and he's like, they got my back.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, Like all right.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
The most pathetic situation you could be in, right is
you go to work and everyone at work dumps on you.
The boss tells you you suck, Your colleagues have no
respect for you. Right then you're like you finally wrapped
up with your day at work. And then you go
home home and then everyone dumps on you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
There.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
It's like, hey, I'm home now, can he stop dumping
on me? And that's the thing, like you when you're home,
you should at least have have the solace of knowing
you're not going to be ridiculed and booed at home.
I want to give another moronic fan alert because today
is the day of all days.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You don't want your wife busting your chaps.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
This is the day of all days where the idiotic
fans come out. And I said that because it's the
final moments, the final day of the trade deadline six
pm Eastern tonight. We're like, again, less than six hours
for your team to make a deal. Let's make a deal.
The crazy part is, yeah, but there's not a lot
left on the table. I'm short two wee you've seen this.
(10:31):
What's your team again? By the way, your podcast? That's right,
I know I should know that.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Yeah, that's fine. I respect it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Pick your team of course. Of course, you can never
quit your tea.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Do you rock those sweet eighties jerseys as a kid
to the Astrodome once? I thought it was cool. I
think it was cool when I was a kid. So anyway,
trade deadline? Do you have the Marana astro fans friends
like my met fan friends that come trade deadline? They
propose all these trades where you give up nothing but
(11:09):
want the world. Every idiotic friend I have is like,
you know we should go after like yo, see, if
the pirates are willing to part with schemes, maybe it
will give up a couple of minor leaguers. I'm like,
you think you're gonna get your whole minor league system
football scheme.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I was like, you want skis, You're gonna have to
give up like Nimo and Lindors. They scan that. Yeh.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
So I just think today is the day where we
should all stop those moronic fans in their tracks and
be like, stop it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Listen to the foolishness you're saying.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Because I guarantee there there are fans like Cavino, if
you would have wanted if you were to go after
a guy like al Contra on the Marlins. While not
good this year, he's a guy that teams are probably
hoping maybe he on a better team. Yeah, you're not
gonna get him for two prospects. You're gonna have to
give up a current productive piece and prospects.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And there's multiple teams bidding on them too.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And when people say my team did nothing, I just
want to remind everyone GMS have to propose a deal
the other team, and GM have to say I like
that deal, but here's what I want. Sometimes no move
is better than a desperate move. Yeah, there's so many
factors involved. And I remember not to name drop, but
I remember Steve Phillips telling me that once he goes,
(12:23):
you know, fans don't get It's like at the deadline.
Sometimes people try to entice you with a bad deal
because they know your fan base how desperate wants to move,
Like right now, the Yankees, they they are so desperate,
like we need a move that I don't think Brian
Cashman's foolish enough to give up a lot just so
that you could. Well, the fantasy is because they need pitching, right,
(12:46):
and most teams do.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Most teams need something in the book they want.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
The fantasy is the Yankees get Paul Skins for two
dudes you never heard of and a player to.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Be named later.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
We're not willing to give up any but you want
the greatest superstar.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, we don't want Austin Slater. We don't need that guy.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I wish him the best, and I hope he's great,
but I do think here's another question. Do you think
big moves will be made during this show? Without a
doubt one? But uh like no, no, no, no, I
mean big moves, the biggest one, not like a guy.
You got to go to Baseball Reference just to check
them out. Fourteen without twelve homers so far, Suarez is
(13:27):
the only And you know, I wanted to bring this
up as a Mets fan. They now have two closers
and I'm not trying to get too excited about this,
but they have Ryan Helsley that they got from the Cardinals,
and Edwin Diaz is back to the Edwin Diaz of
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
He's lights out.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So I wonder is it okay for your eighth inning guy,
he's lights out trumpets on. Is it okay for your
eighth inning guy to have an intro? Because as of
right now, picture yourself, I'm gonna PA the picture. You're
at City Field, the Savannah bananas are selling out and
they're doing backflips.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think you.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Got to step up with the theatrics a little bit.
You gotta remember it's baseball. It's serious as fun. It's
still a game though, and there's families there and they're
spending lots of money. You still have to put some
show biz and entertainment into it. So I know it
sounds weird, but again, that's what you're competing with. You
I'm feeding with with bananas and entertainment and funt. You
gotta step up the fun factor a little bit. Recently,
(14:28):
city Field added like a whole like light show in
the stadium. So picture this eighth inning. Mets got the lead,
Ryan Helsley comes in. All of a sudden, Hell's Bell's
kicks in. Oh yeah, Hell's bell starts, and all of
a sudden, City Field goes dark. You confuse the PA guy,
(14:50):
though I heard trumpets. I know Ryan had one job. Yeah,
but that could happen. I thought we did that as
you know, hey, these are the possible. So Ryan, So
Ryan Helsley comes out to Hell's Bell, city Field goes nuts,
a bunch of guidos and queens pumping their fists to
(15:13):
classic rock. It's unconventional, Rich, but I think that, yeah,
you got a big star there. You give him his intro,
a setup guy, and now then in the ninth inning
break out, Timmy trumpets for Edwin Diaz. I think City
Field's gonna be popping. I think it has to go
(15:34):
that way. I think it's a really solid question. But again,
in today's world where everything's a circus and a spectacle
in every sport. Have you seen what they're doing in golf,
Max Scott, what's it called, Max coll Maxy golf and
I got that hip surgery Maxy Golf. You know, every
(15:54):
sport has a circus sideshow going on, so the actual
sport has to compete in some way and taking fun
out of it is not the way to go. So
I know it's unconventional for your setup guy to have
a dramatic intro, but yeah, he's not just anybody. He
had his own thing. I think you roll with it.
(16:14):
So as of right now, the big deals Suarez probably Helsley.
Who else did you say, Yeah, Suarez, Hellsley. Last night
you had let's Johann Duran yesterday afternoon of the Phillies.
Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, the NL East is really
trying to shure up their bullpens.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, for sure. Jane Bieber this morning went to the
Blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
That that could be a big one because he's coming
off of Tommy John correct and he just had a
rehap start and did well. So and the Padres made
a couple of moves. You know, there's there's something about
the Padres that scares me. It should scare your Dodgers, Danny.
Think it's all about the Dodgers. It's like this there
in this race is arms race, right.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, it's just Dodgers and Padres. Now giants are out. Yeah,
giants are selling. They're they're stripping the car and selling it. Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
On the parts.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Padres, Nab Mason Miller and JP Sears. Well, I'm telling
you baseball's popping. I know Colin has said it. Who
said it first? Though, Dean Sanders Baseball popping. I've been quoting.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Dion Sanders on that one, because there's a lot of
speculation all throughout the season of man, there's a lot
of superstars in the game, and there's a lot of
teams still in it. So buyers and sellers and who's
getting who. This is big and it all comes down today.
And you know not to nerd out, because I try
not to. I am on the edge of my seat
and we're in a like I said, I'm dressed up
like I'm going to the game today. It's a big day,
(17:35):
and we'll keep your post together. I want you to
look at the National League for a second and just
realize why baseball not only is popping, but why there's excitement.
I hate to This is no dump on the small
market teams, but the teams that bring big numbers and
have big fan bases are all there right now. If
you look at the NL, who's battling in the East,
(17:58):
Mets and Phillies in the Central and Brewers who just
have a you know, have a great rivalry now, and
Cincinnati and the Cardinals are right on their tail right
they're not out of it, out of it yep. And
then out West Dodgers Padres like the NL, if the
playoffs started, and you told me that it was Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Cubs, Brewers.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That's the good, that's what you want. And think about
it though.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's not just the stats that matter, it's will this
guy click on your team and how cool it could
be for that guy to be on your team, to
go from a failing, miserable team to a contending team.
That dude could bring some crazy spark like McMahon with
the eggs, you know at the walk off yesterday, that
brought so much more excitement to a flat team. So
(18:40):
the personality of that guy also matters a lot. So
when you sit there and you wonder why that guy,
maybe he's just do Maybe he's the right fit personality wise,
And again you have to think of the excitement and
personality guy is bringing.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
To your team.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
You know, Tooey, I have a guy that I think
is going to make an impact if he does move.
To back up Cavino's point, so sometimes I know, listen,
they're all human. We we sometimes think these athletes don't
let outside noise. Yeah, where they're playing family, all the things,
these things interfere. Luise Robert on the White Sox is
a guy that was a star. The White Sox have stunk.
(19:19):
If you put he's motivated, if you put Louise Robert
on the Blue jay Z, Yankees and Tigers, Phillies, Mets, Dodgers,
if you put him on a team that's well, that
has stars, that's winning, you don't think Luis Robert finds
his way again. He's pomped, and then his excitement is contagious.
He gets everyone else more pumped. I mean, that's just
(19:39):
how it works in life.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
He was supposed to be a superstar and then the
White Sox went down the tank and you know.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
To me, the new good man.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, so that's what makes this even more exciting that
player could come in and bring that juice.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
They're pumped.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
They're going from again I'm using my example, but McMahon
went from the Rockies to the Yankees. The Yankees were flat.
He's bringing all this energy now and that's what you're
hoping for. And that all goes down today. So baseball's popping.
We're gonna see where it's headed. What was the opposite?
Just think of that.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You imagine you go from the imagine going from the rock.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
That's one of the worst teams we've ever seen in baseball, regardless.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Of whether or not the Yankees are playing great.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Right now, you go from you go from the worst
team in history to put on the pin stripes. And
I hate the Yankees, but that's got to be such
a mental change for the way Danny. Remember last year
a guy from the Dodgers got traded to the White House. Yeah, Vargas.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
We all saw that picture of him so miserable in
the Dougou, said Vargas.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
That was terrible and awesome, the weakest.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
That's like, you're with the hottest woman every You're with
Honey Boobo's.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Mom, Like overnight.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
What that's a hard You go from Sydney Sweeney to
Honey Boo Boo. Yeah, exactly exactly. But I don't know,
are you ready to go national that? You you poor
Sidney Sweeney. She's setting a lot of controversial I read
something about this, and let me tell you, I will
is that okay, No, it's not okay to like hot
women number one apparently right. But I read something online
(21:11):
and it's so true and it's funny that I said
online because I'm contradicting myself, but it said the American
Eagle Sydney Sweeney ad it's one of those cases of no,
one's really mad, No, it's.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Social media is not real.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So it's like one of those stories we all see
it in sports and pop culture where it's like people
are up in arms about blank and you're thinking, where
are it?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And it's like, well, what people show me? Personally? You
really can't find someone, and you're like, you know.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
What, I outrage over American Eagle campaign. Where so is
someone gonna tell me Sidney Sweeney doesn't have good genetics?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I got two eyes. Those look like good genetics to me.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
There are people getting canceled, like influencers getting canceled because
they just mentioned that she's hot. Influencers aren't even real,
they're not thoughts. It's all part of like fake life,
like social media where like So to me, that's why
like when someone on Twitter is like mock you or
tells you you're terrible, and you look at their picture
and it's a picture of like a dog on the
(22:10):
hood of a car like person. So to me, again,
that is a great example of not real life. Yeah,
and and really to bring it home, guys, this is
Covino and Rich and for Collin on the Herd and
now Sidney Sweeten, Well, we talked about Sidney. Baseball analogies are
the real deal. Imagine going from your job. Let's say
(22:32):
you're playing for Contender, you're working for Fox Sports Radio,
and they trade you to uh the Frog and Poughkeepsie
h on one oh three point five of the Frog.
Now you're on the Frog. Imagine if that was you know,
your real life. That's why it is important, you know,
we we question why these players pout and why they
fight for money. That's a tough pill to swallow in
(22:54):
a part of their life and career that most people
don't have to deal with. Sure, anyone could get fired
at any moment, but imagine you're on the Dodgers you
get traded to the White Sox.
Speaker 5 (23:03):

some herd Line news.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
This is the herd Line News.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Hey, guys, let me sit in today. I appreciate it.
So you're for people that listen every day to the Herd.
Our perspective on Twoey is that he's like the nicest
dude there is.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Are you ever? Are you ever mean?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Or No?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I can get a little antsy sometimes when things don't
go our way, especially like behind the scenes when things
are kind of getting off the rails a little bit.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I think it's pretty nice, guys that you gotta because
they're so nice and the lead kind and when people
step on their toes, they're more fended, like I'm a
nice guy.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You've pushed me too far.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Time we've been talking about them, Beach, oh man, we
we've been talking about the nmail. Beach trade deadline today
is at six eastern three Pacific. Things are happening fast
and furious this morning. Just to kind of recap a
little bit, the kind of a surprising one, they are
trading their one hundred mile an hour flamethrower closer, Mason Miller,
to the Padres. Which this affects the Dodgers guys because
(27:08):
it's an arms race now with La and San Diego
trying to keep track of each other, keep pace with
each other.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
This is a big one.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
This is a big one as you get closer to
the postseason.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Having that strong bullpen is that is, you.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Know, go shorter in the game.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
As you've noticed, there have been the Dodgers won the
World Series and they had games throughout that playoff run
with bullpen games. Yeah, so listen, you have a strong bullpen.
It can mean all the difference.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Yeah, I have it.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Just the other couple ones from last night, late last night,
Twins yesterday, Johann Randa, the Phillies Big one yea au
Haneo Suarez is heading back to Seattle. Shane Bieber going
to Toronto this morning. Your Mets are making moves rich.
They got a big bullpen now looking good, looking good.
So we'll keep you posted as things are breaking, because
they will break over the next couple of hours.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I love that side arms specialist.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Oh oh, Tyler Rodgers from from the Giant. Yeah, the
submarin er.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yeah, I haven't seen a guy like that. Do you
remember the name of the eighties Jeff Innies?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
How about Dan?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah, that's that's such a unique thing. You got to
think of the game RBI baseball, And you gotta remember
also every step of the way, coaches told that kids
stop throwing that way, and they had the wherewithal to say, no,
this is my stock.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
You would never coach that, right. Come on, get that
arm bangle up, all right, guys. Also, the NFL is
back Hall of Fame Game is tonight. Chargers Lions from
Canton to Hall of Fame. Inductions will be this weekend.
Antonio Gates, Jared Allen, Sterling Sharp and Eric Allen are
this year's inductees. No Justin Herbert, No Jared Goff tonight
(28:46):
at quarterback for both the Lions and Chargers. Jim Harbaugh, though,
had an interesting bite about Justin Herbert uh talking about
his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
That is from the heart, This is the truth.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Justin Herbert's biggest weakness is all all of those that
he's counting on on offense, Coaches, offensive line, playmakers, receivers,
running backs.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
To get up to his level.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
That's that's that's I wake up every day to try
to get to his level.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It's like when someone asks you in a job interview,
what's your biggest weakness, You're like, I tried too hard.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
I mean, okay, So where are we at with Justin Herbert.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Danny Parkins, who was in for calling this week, we
had some wild chatter like he's a big Herbert guy,
but like we were talking, would you trade Herbert for
Jalen Hurts right now?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
See. I My take is that this is the year
where I feel like we've given Justin Herbert so much
time to prove that he's the guy everyone thinks he is,
and eventually it's like, dude, where's the results? Last year,
his one playoff performance, right, got he killed on Texans?
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Got killed rich You said the same thing last offseason, right,
am I the guy that keeps giving him a year
of the year.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Eventually it's gonna be like, yo, Herbert's out delivering like
we were. Oh, there's just so much potential. But then again,
I mean, he's not a rookie, he's not even year
two or three. It's well, then ask yourself, why does
he get the pass? That's the big question.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
That is a big question because like he kind of
all the big name quarterbacks, it does feel like he
gets the pass, doesn't he?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
With Harbaugh year two? If nothing happens now the pass
is gone. But you know who's playing tonight, Trey Lance.
Trey Lance is starting.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
He's starting.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
And I think that because the Niners somehow recovered with
Brock Purdy and kept winning. No one talks about Trey
Lances the bust of all bust he was. The Niners
gave up a bunch again him a pick number three.
So when you hear about JaMarcus Russell or this guy,
that guy, all the biggest busks, Ryan Leaf, no one
brings up Trey Lance.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
How about the fact that Cowboys gave up a fourth
round pick for him too to be a backup, and
he never played.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
He never played, so we do.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Maybe Trey Lance finds his way, maybe a nice backup spot,
and God forbid something happens to Herbert, he gets a chance.
Maybe maybe maybe certain people Garner Moore's sympathy or I'm
and other people are just more fun to pick it on,
Like I feel like picking on Rich is more fun
than picking on me. Maybe the media works in that way,
and maybe pick and choose who gets criticisms fair.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Thank you, well, that's the news, and thanks for stopping
the herd line news.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
All right, so thanks toy, he's the man.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Tooy.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
NFL on Fox came out with a list and it
was the power rankings going into the season, and we
went over this yesterday on our afternoon show. Danny g
was like, guys, you have three strikes. It was very
family feud style. No, he was like, guys, we got
three strikes. We're gonna play a game right now. It
was very uh Dan Patrick versus Rich, Well, I don't
(31:43):
sound anything like that.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It was very family feud style.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
And he gave us three strikes to see if we
could pick all fifteen in the top fifteen again thirty
two teams.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Danny said, pick the top fifteen. We failed.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I thought barely though, but I thought with three strikes,
well we're not going to miss three. This list had
a couple odd omissions and some odd additions. So when
you think about the top fifteen, and I know power
rankings are just that, it's a made up list. As
as Red said in showsh Ank, that's just a made
(32:20):
up thing by made up people. Whatever you said. Red
also said, how often do you look at it? Man shoes?
Everyone in here is innocent. Red said a lot of stuff.
How get busy living or get busy dying. It's a
great movie, Rich, but it's really just a made up list,
like you said, some jibbroni.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That's like, yeah, yeah, here's who. I think.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
It's like back in the day when they would have
those like Maxim Haughty List in the two thousand. It's like,
who's the hottest girls of the year, here's number one.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
It's like says who you're one dude's preference.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Wait, you just called NFL on Fox Fox Sports very
own Ralph Facciano. You just called him a jabbroni. I mean,
in the kindest way.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
He's no different than the guy that made the Maxim
Hotty list.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
In eight or so.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
What I do believe.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I believe that it's partially what he believes, and then
partially as a guy who just wants some clicks and
wants people to speculate. I think he does strategically to
strategy involved. He throws one team in there just to
upset everybody to get people talking. He'll and leaves two
around or something and leaves a few off. But again,
I respect the game, but it's really just his list. Again,
(33:27):
it would be like if I came up with the
list like Rich Davis, I'm gonna tell you the best
fast food nuggets number one Chick fil A, number two Wendy's,
and you know, I might say I might leave something
off just to upset people. Number three Checkers, bro Checkers, Richie,
I leave off like raising cans.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
I was just gonna say, yeah, you put raising canes fifteenth.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
And again I'm not saying that, you know, I'm not
saying that we know for fact this is what happens.
But on other lists, I do believe that happens. Truthfully,
we worked for Maxim. We know they did it just
to get people speculating my son recently the who was it?
(34:11):
Some source with no real credibility in the world, but
someone came up with like the best podcast list. Oh yeah,
and they left off like Joe Rogan, they left off
call her Daddy, they left off like all the Fox
sports shows that are big time.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
It was honestly, it was like remember like when.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Howard Stern wasn't in the Radio Hall of Fame, right,
It was like to get people talk is it really
a Hall of Fame then? Or you could just simply
say says who says who? Yeah, I'll be like Trump's
lawyer says who?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Who was left off the NFL on Fox Power Rankings
Top fifteen and who was on it? It'll shock you.
I'm insulted on behalf of one team in particular. And
we'll get to that and a theory about the face
of your team and what it says about your team.
We'll do that next cn R for the Great Colin
cow Herd here on the Hurt.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays
at noon Easter not a Empacific to.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Get it in.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Doom Doom, Doom, Doom, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I never till this day have lost the game of RBI.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Gritist got in the world.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I had a particular skill with my big toe that
if you were winning, I accidentally always hit the reset button.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Oh waity that guy, I know that guy.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Oh sorry, yeah, man, RBI Baseball on a throwback Thursday.
Hey Cavino and rich In for Colin on the Herd.
The home you've worked so hard for is ready to
work hard for you with a home equity loan from
Rocket Mortgage.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
To learn how you can turn your home's.
Speaker 4 (35:43):

License in fifty Saints n MLS Consumer Access dot Org
number thirty thirty. All right, Hey cnr In for Colin,
and we said, we're going to talk a lot of
NFL today for real, because it is the Hall of
Fame game tonight. NFL is here until Valentine's Day. It
(36:03):
really is exciting. It's wild to think, right, and I've
I've said this before. I don't know about you. My
guess is all of us have things in common, but
one of the big commonalities has to be how your
life changes when football starts. You could we could all
be so different in many ways. But if you're a
football fan, come August September when this all kicks in
(36:27):
Monday night, Thursday night, if you're into college on Saturday, Sunday,
Sunday night, all day Sunday. And then this year with
a lot of the holiday games, was a couple of
Friday games. The NFL sort of takes over your life
in a way. Fantasy football, gambling, everything you do. Football
season is so different. Since we're in for Colin on
(36:47):
the heard, why don't we share one of our seeing
our patented moves that we perfected over the years. Oh no, no,
the other show, Danny g how many days until the
actual season? Thirty something, thirty six, thirty five. Now, so
you have thirty something days to really butter up the
(37:09):
WiFi so that she doesn't bust your chops squeeze your
shoes once the season starts. But then again, I don't
know if it's wise to end up with a woman
that doesn't share a little bit of interest. You're late
for a lot of people, But I'm just saying, use
those thirty days wisely for dinners and maybe a little weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Get away, a little bit of romance.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Well, because you know you're not gonna have the same
amount of time in thirty something days. Well, let me
remind everyone before you get into this list that I've
said this for years. I think you need to date
someone a full calendar year before you should ever consider
getting engaged or live with them or anything. Because the
same way you don't know you know a woman's habits
(37:50):
during winter or summer, Well, we gotta make sure she's
shaving her legs even in the wintertime. But you need
to make sure that you gotta have priority, got to
make sure that if if you're like, no, babe, you
don't understand on Sundays, I'm sort of locked in. I
did a girl once that would constantly do like when
is it over? When is it over? When is it over?
(38:10):
And and it's tough, and I'm like, I'm not saying
sports would dominate your life. But I thank my father
in law for sort of raising my wife to realize
that football is part of what she gets it.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
So I think that's key. Now let's get into this list.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
NFL on Fox, we say listen are made for one reason,
and they're made to get people to debate and argue
and fight. NFL and Fox came out with the power rankings,
get bit and of course the top fifteen. Now we
could simply get some of these out of the way
right away and say, of course you knew the top
four we're going to be Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, and Bills.
(38:57):
I think there's no argument that those are going to
be the top for If anything, they'd make everyone's top
five or six. Right then it gets tricky because there's
there's a team that I feel is on this list
early on that I love that, I love the sentiment.
But right there at number six, at number five, the
(39:19):
Packers are there. By the way, a lot of people
think Packers is gonna have a big comeback here. Number
six the Pittsburgh Steelers so controversial because are they gonna
have over nine wins?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Ten wins? Sixth in the NFL Power rankings.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
You really put a lot.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
On Aaron Rodgers here, who hasn't really proven anything in
the past two years. Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, They've made improvements,
they're old er. Tomlin's like somehow never you know, has
a losing season. But again the Ron Jones think on
behalf of Ralph from NFL and Fox props to Ralph
(39:59):
ralphiev is what I call them.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Don't you guys feel like the Lions should be right
there at that slot?
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah, but again it gets your eyes. It's an I
grab immediately he'd be like, come on the Steelers, and
it gets people muzzn't. Yeah, well, I'll tell you this,
Danny g yesterday without I don't want to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
We're not Spider Harrison or Ryan Seacrest. I'm not gonna am.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
I going to do a countdown of the list coming
into number seven, and we're not going to do that.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
If Washington Commander.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Commandos as I call him, I'm I don't want to
do a countdown list, and if we were, we should
do it reverse. No one starts a countdown at number one.
But Danny said picked the top fifteen. The ones that
stood out to us were the Packers all the way
at five, number six being the Steelers, and there were
a couple o missions that were like what number sixteen
(40:51):
the Denver Broncos. They're considered dead middle of the pack.
And two, I was just watching a clip of Colin
from last week on Fox talking about how they had
like a top ten personnel in fact number sixth ranked
as far as personnel and roster.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
So last week ESPN and the Athletic did a ESPN
did a roster ranking, Athletic did a preseason ranking. In
the ESPAD roster ranking, Denver sixth, green Bay fourteenth, and
the Athletic preseason rankings, green Bay is fifth and Denver's fourteenth.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Yeah, it's tough to figure out the other ones that
stumped us. Yesterday. We talked about it on our regular show.
You can hear it on the podcast Cavino and Rich.
We didn't get fourteen and fifteen, the Cardinals and the Vikings.
I can't that to me is another one. The Cardinals.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
You're trying to guess to the top fifteen and they
were not in our top fifteen. You got young players,
but you're telling me I would listen. I'm not saying
I'm gonna bet my home or my children, but I
think I might wager them. Hev it men, Cardinals placing
better than the Niners on this list. We're gonna break
this down more and our theory about faces of your
(41:55):
team and what it says about your team next right
here in Fox Sports

Wow, lucky you. Covino rich In for Colin today on

Speaker 4 (00:36):
I'm just pumped. It's Thursday. Thursday's the new Friday. So
the weekend begins right now. Covino and rich In for
Colin on The Herd. Steve Cavino, rich Davis and a
piece of Collins here two weeks here, hang now.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
What's up to? Hey guys, what's up man? Good to
see you again.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Great to see it. As the security guard of the
lobby said, happy Friday. When people say that, I'm like,
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but stop it.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's this thing though, he says that all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I appreciate of course, Danny g Ryan, Spotty, everybody's here.
If you got to chime in. You want something to
say on this important day, Like Rich said, lots going
down eight seven seven for the Herd eight seven seven
four the Herd, or hit us at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. Let the wild rumps start. Man,
I hope you had a great Wednesday night. I hope
(01:26):
all your teams won in dramatic fashion like mine did.
Did you see the Yankee game last night? I saw
a who is it? In the in the ninth inning
that forgot how many outs there were? Was that a
Grisham Wells Boston Wells pulled some little league bs? And
you know what, I want to mention that we have
lots to get to. It's not about the Yankees. I
know people hate when I talk about the Yankees, but
(01:47):
I do want to bring that up.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I also want to bring up the fact that it
looks like I'm going to the ball game today. Is
trade deadline Thursday? Right, We'll keep you posted too. He's
on standby with that look at us. Looks like I'm
already for the game. I didn't know they even sold
Volpy shirts that I have a value. Yeah, Vulpy T
shirt right, and it has the State of New Jersey.
(02:11):
In the oh of Vulpy, I'm wearing a Yankees hat
who sells those vulpi himself on it. Listen, it's a
whole story myself. I didn't buy it all right, but
I appreciate it. I'm grateful so someone sent it to me,
and I'll give them props later. But I want to
make the point that I'm doing the opposite of what
(02:32):
I hate. I'm walking the talk because I feel like
when your players are struggling, or when people in your
life are struggling, imagine if you lived the life. Let's
say you told a bad joke here on Fox Sports Radio,
and believe me, it happens. It'll happen multiple times a day,
hanging stand by, Imagine you were getting booed and discouraged
every time you messed up, every time you said a
(02:54):
wrong fact, every time.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You have flubbed the word during a live read. Boo suck.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I think an example of that is coming up in
fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean stand by for some fails, for sure, but
imagine if every time you failed or misstep at your job,
you were booed by the people that were supposed to
be rooting for you. That's always the most counterproductive thing
to me in life. This guy is playing on eggshells.
He's a league leading what sixteen errors now in the bigs.
The only thing keeping him alive is that his bat's
(03:28):
heating up a little bit, which is unbelievable when you
think about it. The dude is still hitting home runs,
and he hit a big one yesterday, and then of
course that base running blunder that you mentioned. He hit
a game tying home run in a crucial situation. Dude,
sixteen errors and Yankee fans are booing this guy, and
I understand why because it's frustrating, But does anyone under
(03:51):
the moon really thinks that ever helps the team you're
rooting for. It's the most counterproductive way of expressing your
feeling like you got to encourage these dudes.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
These are young men.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
We're talking about. Very mature of you. By the way, dude,
I'll never be that guy. You know, boo the opposing team.
I get your analogy. They'll give you a collin since
we are is the heard he loves actually had a
home field rich, It's ridiculous. I'll give you a colon
analogy Imagine if you were going through a divorce and
all your friends.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, imagine, I didd how many years ago?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
There?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I know you're on your phone with your ex wife
like ten minutes ago, and I saw you aggravated. Yeah,
what do you think I'll pull my hair out for
for fun. Imagine your buddy was going through divorce and
instead of supporting him, going out for a beer cheering
him up, You're like, man, you suck a relationships. Ha
you stink like that's the equivalent. That's the equivalent. And
again I get it. Let's say they're playing away. Yeah,
(04:43):
the away team's gonna boo him just because and to
get into his head and because he's made another error.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You're at home, you're making errors.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I understand the fans are frustrated, to believe me, so
am I I'm a fan, but it's the most counterproductive thing.
Let me teach you how to be a fan, one
oh one. Stop booing important players on your own team.
Encourage them, hype them up, because then they get the
yips and then they're in their own head and they
can't throw to first base anymore. So you know what
(05:12):
I'm doing, Guys, I'm not booing Anthony Vaulty.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Do I want to strangle that guy? Yes? Does he
have the potential? Yes?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
But instead I'm supporting him wearing this miserable T shirt.
You think I don't have three thousand other T shirts
to wear. No, I'm supporting the guy. The end not good.
I'm glad it's the end of Anthony Volpi. But there's
one more thing. Well, it's not the end. He's heating up.
There's a meme. This is fantastic, Thank you Danny g
super producing. There's a meme that says, Anthony Volpi in
(05:43):
twenty twenty five to sixteen batting average, sixteen errors, Pete
Gray in nineteen forty five, a guy that played with
one arm bat at two eighteen with fourteen errors. I know, dude,
But do you think booing him and getting booed at
his home field when he's trying?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I get it helps anybody, not just him, anyone. So again,
when you're at the game and a guy you're rooting
for isn't playing up to par I don't think booing
ever helps. You're supposed to boo the opposing team, the
gree No one's going to disagree. But yet there's idiots
that do it. I'm not that it change it to
(06:21):
the NFL for a second. More people love them some football.
When you're starting quarterback is struggling. I want to kiss you.
When you're starting quarterback is struggling. Struggling, and you know
they're not going to be replaced. I'm not talking about
a guy that you know has a short leash. When
people are called for the backup, is that equally counterproductive? Absolutely?
(06:45):
I mean, at least you have another option in this case, right,
But it's not helping that other guy. You're sort of
making a choice for the team right there. It's a
little different because volpies the dude they're invested in. There's
no one to back them up. You're waiting and wanting
him to perform.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Well.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
And I'll end it with this, I'm wearing a T shirt.
I'm trying to explain why because I support, I don't discourage.
I'm not booing the guy, right, but do you think
he'll end up with more errors or more home runs?
Because he has sixteen home runs? Ooh, and that's the
only reason he's still play. I mean, I hope for
his sake home runs. All right, Well, I mean that
(07:22):
you would hope. I mean has that's my little baby
rant of the day. Let's be better fans, I mean
is pretty obvious, and let's not be an amateur. This
isn't a little league, even though the Yankees made little
league errors last night.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
We'll get to that later.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Hi, Well, we're gonna talk a lot of NFL today,
are we are here? There's football from today until Valentine's Day,
so we got football tonight. Of course, Lions Chargers in
the Hall of Fame game, preseason kicksoff. So we're gonna
talk a lot of NFL. I have a major problem
with an NFL on Fox power ranking that to me
(07:56):
is like so disrespectful to a team. So we're gonna
be can I also share my problem with you and
other boneheads that put stock into these lists. It's just
a guy in his stupid opinion. No one is Madame
Ruby chat GPT can't predict the future. Nobody can. I mean,
so to put any value or stock into some Gabbroni
(08:18):
Jones's NFL power ranking, it means Diddley squat.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
But we do and I get it, and it's fun.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But half of these things are made just to be
brought up, and they'll throw something at landish in that
list just to get people buzzing and talking about it.
It doesn't really mean anything at all. I mean, I know,
we know that, but it ends up pissing people off anyway.
And for the record, Madame Ruby didn't know anything. She
told Pee Wee his bike was in the basement of
the Alamo, and there was no basement in the Alamo. However,
(08:46):
I don't know them. Did you see the update? They
actually have it there now for real? Yeah, for real,
they actually have it at the Alamo. His bike now.
A lot of NFL. Like I said, we're going to
talk about all that goes on from this point forward
in our lives. But I do want to give everyone
another moronic fan alert. Essentially, you talk about these fans
(09:09):
at BOO. They're starting quarterbacks, they're starting shortstops, like the
guys that you're supposed to pull for when they're going
through a rough time, but fans somehow boot them. In fact,
not to be too New York biased, but I'm a
Mets fan. And Francisco Lindor said that what he loved
more than anything was that when he went through his
terrible like oh for thirty Street. The fans never boot him,
(09:31):
and he's like, they got my back.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, Like all right.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
The most pathetic situation you could be in, right is
you go to work and everyone at work dumps on you.
The boss tells you you suck, Your colleagues have no
respect for you. Right then you're like you finally wrapped
up with your day at work. And then you go
home home and then everyone dumps on you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
There.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
It's like, hey, I'm home now, can he stop dumping
on me? And that's the thing, like you when you're home,
you should at least have have the solace of knowing
you're not going to be ridiculed and booed at home.
I want to give another moronic fan alert because today
is the day of all days.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You don't want your wife busting your chaps.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
This is the day of all days where the idiotic
fans come out. And I said that because it's the
final moments, the final day of the trade deadline six
pm Eastern tonight. We're like, again, less than six hours
for your team to make a deal. Let's make a deal.
The crazy part is, yeah, but there's not a lot
left on the table. I'm short two wee you've seen this.
(10:31):
What's your team again? By the way, your podcast? That's right,
I know I should know that.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Yeah, that's fine. I respect it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Pick your team of course. Of course, you can never
quit your tea.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Do you rock those sweet eighties jerseys as a kid
to the Astrodome once? I thought it was cool. I
think it was cool when I was a kid. So anyway,
trade deadline? Do you have the Marana astro fans friends
like my met fan friends that come trade deadline? They
propose all these trades where you give up nothing but
(11:09):
want the world. Every idiotic friend I have is like,
you know we should go after like yo, see, if
the pirates are willing to part with schemes, maybe it
will give up a couple of minor leaguers. I'm like,
you think you're gonna get your whole minor league system
football scheme.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I was like, you want skis, You're gonna have to
give up like Nimo and Lindors. They scan that. Yeh.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
So I just think today is the day where we
should all stop those moronic fans in their tracks and
be like, stop it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Listen to the foolishness you're saying.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Because I guarantee there there are fans like Cavino, if
you would have wanted if you were to go after
a guy like al Contra on the Marlins. While not
good this year, he's a guy that teams are probably
hoping maybe he on a better team. Yeah, you're not
gonna get him for two prospects. You're gonna have to
give up a current productive piece and prospects.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And there's multiple teams bidding on them too.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And when people say my team did nothing, I just
want to remind everyone GMS have to propose a deal
the other team, and GM have to say I like
that deal, but here's what I want. Sometimes no move
is better than a desperate move. Yeah, there's so many
factors involved. And I remember not to name drop, but
I remember Steve Phillips telling me that once he goes,
(12:23):
you know, fans don't get It's like at the deadline.
Sometimes people try to entice you with a bad deal
because they know your fan base how desperate wants to move,
Like right now, the Yankees, they they are so desperate,
like we need a move that I don't think Brian
Cashman's foolish enough to give up a lot just so
that you could. Well, the fantasy is because they need pitching, right,
(12:46):
and most teams do.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Most teams need something in the book they want.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
The fantasy is the Yankees get Paul Skins for two
dudes you never heard of and a player to.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Be named later.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
We're not willing to give up any but you want
the greatest superstar.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, we don't want Austin Slater. We don't need that guy.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I wish him the best, and I hope he's great,
but I do think here's another question. Do you think
big moves will be made during this show? Without a
doubt one? But uh like no, no, no, no, I
mean big moves, the biggest one, not like a guy.
You got to go to Baseball Reference just to check
them out. Fourteen without twelve homers so far, Suarez is
(13:27):
the only And you know, I wanted to bring this
up as a Mets fan. They now have two closers
and I'm not trying to get too excited about this,
but they have Ryan Helsley that they got from the Cardinals,
and Edwin Diaz is back to the Edwin Diaz of
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
He's lights out.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So I wonder is it okay for your eighth inning guy,
he's lights out trumpets on. Is it okay for your
eighth inning guy to have an intro? Because as of
right now, picture yourself, I'm gonna PA the picture. You're
at City Field, the Savannah bananas are selling out and
they're doing backflips.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think you.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Got to step up with the theatrics a little bit.
You gotta remember it's baseball. It's serious as fun. It's
still a game though, and there's families there and they're
spending lots of money. You still have to put some
show biz and entertainment into it. So I know it
sounds weird, but again, that's what you're competing with. You
I'm feeding with with bananas and entertainment and funt. You
gotta step up the fun factor a little bit. Recently,
(14:28):
city Field added like a whole like light show in
the stadium. So picture this eighth inning. Mets got the lead,
Ryan Helsley comes in. All of a sudden, Hell's Bell's
kicks in. Oh yeah, Hell's bell starts, and all of
a sudden, City Field goes dark. You confuse the PA guy,
(14:50):
though I heard trumpets. I know Ryan had one job. Yeah,
but that could happen. I thought we did that as
you know, hey, these are the possible. So Ryan, So
Ryan Helsley comes out to Hell's Bell, city Field goes nuts,
a bunch of guidos and queens pumping their fists to
(15:13):
classic rock. It's unconventional, Rich, but I think that, yeah,
you got a big star there. You give him his intro,
a setup guy, and now then in the ninth inning
break out, Timmy trumpets for Edwin Diaz. I think City
Field's gonna be popping. I think it has to go
(15:34):
that way. I think it's a really solid question. But again,
in today's world where everything's a circus and a spectacle
in every sport. Have you seen what they're doing in golf,
Max Scott, what's it called, Max coll Maxy golf and
I got that hip surgery Maxy Golf. You know, every
(15:54):
sport has a circus sideshow going on, so the actual
sport has to compete in some way and taking fun
out of it is not the way to go. So
I know it's unconventional for your setup guy to have
a dramatic intro, but yeah, he's not just anybody. He
had his own thing. I think you roll with it.
(16:14):
So as of right now, the big deals Suarez probably Helsley.
Who else did you say, Yeah, Suarez, Hellsley. Last night
you had let's Johann Duran yesterday afternoon of the Phillies.
Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, the NL East is really
trying to shure up their bullpens.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, for sure. Jane Bieber this morning went to the
Blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
That that could be a big one because he's coming
off of Tommy John correct and he just had a
rehap start and did well. So and the Padres made
a couple of moves. You know, there's there's something about
the Padres that scares me. It should scare your Dodgers, Danny.
Think it's all about the Dodgers. It's like this there
in this race is arms race, right.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, it's just Dodgers and Padres. Now giants are out. Yeah,
giants are selling. They're they're stripping the car and selling it. Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
On the parts.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Padres, Nab Mason Miller and JP Sears. Well, I'm telling
you baseball's popping. I know Colin has said it. Who
said it first? Though, Dean Sanders Baseball popping. I've been quoting.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Dion Sanders on that one, because there's a lot of
speculation all throughout the season of man, there's a lot
of superstars in the game, and there's a lot of
teams still in it. So buyers and sellers and who's
getting who. This is big and it all comes down today.
And you know not to nerd out, because I try
not to. I am on the edge of my seat
and we're in a like I said, I'm dressed up
like I'm going to the game today. It's a big day,
(17:35):
and we'll keep your post together. I want you to
look at the National League for a second and just
realize why baseball not only is popping, but why there's excitement.
I hate to This is no dump on the small
market teams, but the teams that bring big numbers and
have big fan bases are all there right now. If
you look at the NL, who's battling in the East,
(17:58):
Mets and Phillies in the Central and Brewers who just
have a you know, have a great rivalry now, and
Cincinnati and the Cardinals are right on their tail right
they're not out of it, out of it yep. And
then out West Dodgers Padres like the NL, if the
playoffs started, and you told me that it was Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Cubs, Brewers.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That's the good, that's what you want. And think about
it though.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's not just the stats that matter, it's will this
guy click on your team and how cool it could
be for that guy to be on your team, to
go from a failing, miserable team to a contending team.
That dude could bring some crazy spark like McMahon with
the eggs, you know at the walk off yesterday, that
brought so much more excitement to a flat team. So
(18:40):
the personality of that guy also matters a lot. So
when you sit there and you wonder why that guy,
maybe he's just do Maybe he's the right fit personality wise,
And again you have to think of the excitement and
personality guy is bringing.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
To your team.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
You know, Tooey, I have a guy that I think
is going to make an impact if he does move.
To back up Cavino's point, so sometimes I know, listen,
they're all human. We we sometimes think these athletes don't
let outside noise. Yeah, where they're playing family, all the things,
these things interfere. Luise Robert on the White Sox is
a guy that was a star. The White Sox have stunk.
(19:19):
If you put he's motivated, if you put Louise Robert
on the Blue jay Z, Yankees and Tigers, Phillies, Mets, Dodgers,
if you put him on a team that's well, that
has stars, that's winning, you don't think Luis Robert finds
his way again. He's pomped, and then his excitement is contagious.
He gets everyone else more pumped. I mean, that's just
(19:39):
how it works in life.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
He was supposed to be a superstar and then the
White Sox went down the tank and you know.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
To me, the new good man.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, so that's what makes this even more exciting that
player could come in and bring that juice.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
They're pumped.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
They're going from again I'm using my example, but McMahon
went from the Rockies to the Yankees. The Yankees were flat.
He's bringing all this energy now and that's what you're
hoping for. And that all goes down today. So baseball's popping.
We're gonna see where it's headed. What was the opposite?
Just think of that.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You imagine you go from the imagine going from the rock.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
That's one of the worst teams we've ever seen in baseball, regardless.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Of whether or not the Yankees are playing great.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Right now, you go from you go from the worst
team in history to put on the pin stripes. And
I hate the Yankees, but that's got to be such
a mental change for the way Danny. Remember last year
a guy from the Dodgers got traded to the White House. Yeah, Vargas.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
We all saw that picture of him so miserable in
the Dougou, said Vargas.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
That was terrible and awesome, the weakest.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
That's like, you're with the hottest woman every You're with
Honey Boobo's.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Mom, Like overnight.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
What that's a hard You go from Sydney Sweeney to
Honey Boo Boo. Yeah, exactly exactly. But I don't know,
are you ready to go national that? You you poor
Sidney Sweeney. She's setting a lot of controversial I read
something about this, and let me tell you, I will
is that okay, No, it's not okay to like hot
women number one apparently right. But I read something online
(21:11):
and it's so true and it's funny that I said
online because I'm contradicting myself, but it said the American
Eagle Sydney Sweeney ad it's one of those cases of no,
one's really mad, No, it's.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Social media is not real.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So it's like one of those stories we all see
it in sports and pop culture where it's like people
are up in arms about blank and you're thinking, where
are it?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
And it's like, well, what people show me? Personally? You
really can't find someone, and you're like, you know.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
What, I outrage over American Eagle campaign. Where so is
someone gonna tell me Sidney Sweeney doesn't have good genetics?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I got two eyes. Those look like good genetics to me.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
There are people getting canceled, like influencers getting canceled because
they just mentioned that she's hot. Influencers aren't even real,
they're not thoughts. It's all part of like fake life,
like social media where like So to me, that's why
like when someone on Twitter is like mock you or
tells you you're terrible, and you look at their picture
and it's a picture of like a dog on the
(22:10):
hood of a car like person. So to me, again,
that is a great example of not real life. Yeah,
and and really to bring it home, guys, this is
Covino and Rich and for Collin on the Herd and
now Sidney Sweeten, Well, we talked about Sidney. Baseball analogies are
the real deal. Imagine going from your job. Let's say
(22:32):
you're playing for Contender, you're working for Fox Sports Radio,
and they trade you to uh the Frog and Poughkeepsie
h on one oh three point five of the Frog.
Now you're on the Frog. Imagine if that was you know,
your real life. That's why it is important, you know,
we we question why these players pout and why they
fight for money. That's a tough pill to swallow in
(22:54):
a part of their life and career that most people
don't have to deal with. Sure, anyone could get fired
at any moment, but imagine you're on the Dodgers you
get traded to the White Sox.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
That sucks for your career and for your family. Yeah,
no doubt.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well listen, NFL, it would be ridiculous not to dive
in heavy today because it's a day man. I mean,
whether you like it or not, whether the Stars play tonight,
the NFL kicks off. What a day, Hall of Fame game,
trade deadline and the Hall of Fame game for the NFL,

Hey, guys, let me sit in today. I appreciate it.
So you're for people that listen every day to the Herd.
Our perspective on Twoey is that he's like the nicest
dude there is.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Are you ever? Are you ever mean?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Or No?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I can get a little antsy sometimes when things don't
go our way, especially like behind the scenes when things
are kind of getting off the rails a little bit.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I think it's pretty nice, guys that you gotta because
they're so nice and the lead kind and when people
step on their toes, they're more fended, like I'm a
nice guy.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You've pushed me too far.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Time we've been talking about them, Beach, oh man, we
we've been talking about the nmail. Beach trade deadline today
is at six eastern three Pacific. Things are happening fast
and furious this morning. Just to kind of recap a
little bit, the kind of a surprising one, they are
trading their one hundred mile an hour flamethrower closer, Mason Miller,
to the Padres. Which this affects the Dodgers guys because
(27:08):
it's an arms race now with La and San Diego
trying to keep track of each other, keep pace with
each other.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
This is a big one.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
This is a big one as you get closer to
the postseason.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Having that strong bullpen is that is, you.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Know, go shorter in the game.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
As you've noticed, there have been the Dodgers won the
World Series and they had games throughout that playoff run
with bullpen games. Yeah, so listen, you have a strong bullpen.
It can mean all the difference.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Yeah, I have it.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Just the other couple ones from last night, late last night,
Twins yesterday, Johann Randa, the Phillies Big one yea au
Haneo Suarez is heading back to Seattle. Shane Bieber going
to Toronto this morning. Your Mets are making moves rich.
They got a big bullpen now looking good, looking good.
So we'll keep you posted as things are breaking, because
they will break over the next couple of hours.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I love that side arms specialist.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Oh oh, Tyler Rodgers from from the Giant. Yeah, the
submarin er.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yeah, I haven't seen a guy like that. Do you
remember the name of the eighties Jeff Innies?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
How about Dan?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah, that's that's such a unique thing. You got to
think of the game RBI baseball, And you gotta remember
also every step of the way, coaches told that kids
stop throwing that way, and they had the wherewithal to say, no,
this is my stock.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
You would never coach that, right. Come on, get that
arm bangle up, all right, guys. Also, the NFL is
back Hall of Fame Game is tonight. Chargers Lions from
Canton to Hall of Fame. Inductions will be this weekend.
Antonio Gates, Jared Allen, Sterling Sharp and Eric Allen are
this year's inductees. No Justin Herbert, No Jared Goff tonight
(28:46):
at quarterback for both the Lions and Chargers. Jim Harbaugh, though,
had an interesting bite about Justin Herbert uh talking about
his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
That is from the heart, This is the truth.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Justin Herbert's biggest weakness is all all of those that
he's counting on on offense, Coaches, offensive line, playmakers, receivers,
running backs.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
To get up to his level.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
That's that's that's I wake up every day to try
to get to his level.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It's like when someone asks you in a job interview,
what's your biggest weakness, You're like, I tried too hard.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
I mean, okay, So where are we at with Justin Herbert.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Danny Parkins, who was in for calling this week, we
had some wild chatter like he's a big Herbert guy,
but like we were talking, would you trade Herbert for
Jalen Hurts right now?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
See. I My take is that this is the year
where I feel like we've given Justin Herbert so much
time to prove that he's the guy everyone thinks he is,
and eventually it's like, dude, where's the results? Last year,
his one playoff performance, right, got he killed on Texans?
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Got killed rich You said the same thing last offseason, right,
am I the guy that keeps giving him a year
of the year.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Eventually it's gonna be like, yo, Herbert's out delivering like
we were. Oh, there's just so much potential. But then again,
I mean, he's not a rookie, he's not even year
two or three. It's well, then ask yourself, why does
he get the pass? That's the big question.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
That is a big question because like he kind of
all the big name quarterbacks, it does feel like he
gets the pass, doesn't he?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
With Harbaugh year two? If nothing happens now the pass
is gone. But you know who's playing tonight, Trey Lance.
Trey Lance is starting.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
He's starting.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
And I think that because the Niners somehow recovered with
Brock Purdy and kept winning. No one talks about Trey
Lances the bust of all bust he was. The Niners
gave up a bunch again him a pick number three.
So when you hear about JaMarcus Russell or this guy,
that guy, all the biggest busks, Ryan Leaf, no one
brings up Trey Lance.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
How about the fact that Cowboys gave up a fourth
round pick for him too to be a backup, and
he never played.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
He never played, so we do.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Maybe Trey Lance finds his way, maybe a nice backup spot,
and God forbid something happens to Herbert, he gets a chance.
Maybe maybe maybe certain people Garner Moore's sympathy or I'm
and other people are just more fun to pick it on,
Like I feel like picking on Rich is more fun
than picking on me. Maybe the media works in that way,
and maybe pick and choose who gets criticisms fair.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Thank you, well, that's the news, and thanks for stopping
the herd line news.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
All right, so thanks toy, he's the man.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Tooy.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
NFL on Fox came out with a list and it
was the power rankings going into the season, and we
went over this yesterday on our afternoon show. Danny g
was like, guys, you have three strikes. It was very
family feud style. No, he was like, guys, we got
three strikes. We're gonna play a game right now. It
was very uh Dan Patrick versus Rich, Well, I don't
(31:43):
sound anything like that.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It was very family feud style.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
And he gave us three strikes to see if we
could pick all fifteen in the top fifteen again thirty
two teams.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Danny said, pick the top fifteen. We failed.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I thought barely though, but I thought with three strikes,
well we're not going to miss three. This list had
a couple odd omissions and some odd additions. So when
you think about the top fifteen, and I know power
rankings are just that, it's a made up list. As
as Red said in showsh Ank, that's just a made
(32:20):
up thing by made up people. Whatever you said. Red
also said, how often do you look at it? Man shoes?
Everyone in here is innocent. Red said a lot of stuff.
How get busy living or get busy dying. It's a
great movie, Rich, but it's really just a made up list,
like you said, some jibbroni.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That's like, yeah, yeah, here's who. I think.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
It's like back in the day when they would have
those like Maxim Haughty List in the two thousand. It's like,
who's the hottest girls of the year, here's number one.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
It's like says who you're one dude's preference.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Wait, you just called NFL on Fox Fox Sports very
own Ralph Facciano. You just called him a jabbroni. I mean,
in the kindest way.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
He's no different than the guy that made the Maxim
Hotty list.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
In eight or so.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
What I do believe.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I believe that it's partially what he believes, and then
partially as a guy who just wants some clicks and
wants people to speculate. I think he does strategically to
strategy involved. He throws one team in there just to
upset everybody to get people talking. He'll and leaves two
around or something and leaves a few off. But again,
I respect the game, but it's really just his list. Again,
(33:27):
it would be like if I came up with the
list like Rich Davis, I'm gonna tell you the best
fast food nuggets number one Chick fil A, number two Wendy's,
and you know, I might say I might leave something
off just to upset people. Number three Checkers, bro Checkers, Richie,
I leave off like raising cans.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
I was just gonna say, yeah, you put raising canes fifteenth.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
And again I'm not saying that, you know, I'm not
saying that we know for fact this is what happens.
But on other lists, I do believe that happens. Truthfully,
we worked for Maxim. We know they did it just
to get people speculating my son recently the who was it?
(34:11):
Some source with no real credibility in the world, but
someone came up with like the best podcast list. Oh yeah,
and they left off like Joe Rogan, they left off
call her Daddy, they left off like all the Fox
sports shows that are big time.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
It was honestly, it was like remember like when.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Howard Stern wasn't in the Radio Hall of Fame, right,
It was like to get people talk is it really
a Hall of Fame then? Or you could just simply
say says who says who? Yeah, I'll be like Trump's
lawyer says who?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Who was left off the NFL on Fox Power Rankings
Top fifteen and who was on it? It'll shock you.
I'm insulted on behalf of one team in particular. And
we'll get to that and a theory about the face
of your team and what it says about your team.
We'll do that next cn R for the Great Colin
cow Herd here on the Hurt.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays
at noon Easter not a Empacific to.
Speaker 5 (35:05):

Speaker 4 (35:06):

Speaker 3 (35:12):
I never till this day have lost the game of RBI.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Gritist got in the world.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I had a particular skill with my big toe that
if you were winning, I accidentally always hit the reset button.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Oh waity that guy, I know that guy.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Oh sorry, yeah, man, RBI Baseball on a throwback Thursday.

License in fifty Saints n MLS Consumer Access dot Org
number thirty thirty. All right, Hey cnr In for Colin,
and we said, we're going to talk a lot of
NFL today for real, because it is the Hall of
Fame game tonight. NFL is here until Valentine's Day. It
(36:03):
really is exciting. It's wild to think, right, and I've
I've said this before. I don't know about you. My
guess is all of us have things in common, but
one of the big commonalities has to be how your
life changes when football starts. You could we could all
be so different in many ways. But if you're a
football fan, come August September when this all kicks in
(36:27):
Monday night, Thursday night, if you're into college on Saturday, Sunday,
Sunday night, all day Sunday. And then this year with
a lot of the holiday games, was a couple of
Friday games. The NFL sort of takes over your life
in a way. Fantasy football, gambling, everything you do. Football
season is so different. Since we're in for Colin on
(36:47):
the heard, why don't we share one of our seeing
our patented moves that we perfected over the years. Oh no, no,
the other show, Danny g how many days until the
actual season? Thirty something, thirty six, thirty five. Now, so
you have thirty something days to really butter up the
(37:09):
WiFi so that she doesn't bust your chops squeeze your
shoes once the season starts. But then again, I don't
know if it's wise to end up with a woman
that doesn't share a little bit of interest. You're late
for a lot of people, But I'm just saying, use
those thirty days wisely for dinners and maybe a little weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Get away, a little bit of romance.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Well, because you know you're not gonna have the same
amount of time in thirty something days. Well, let me
remind everyone before you get into this list that I've
said this for years. I think you need to date
someone a full calendar year before you should ever consider
getting engaged or live with them or anything. Because the
same way you don't know you know a woman's habits
(37:50):
during winter or summer, Well, we gotta make sure she's
shaving her legs even in the wintertime. But you need
to make sure that you gotta have priority, got to
make sure that if if you're like, no, babe, you
don't understand on Sundays, I'm sort of locked in. I
did a girl once that would constantly do like when
is it over? When is it over? When is it over?
(38:10):
And and it's tough, and I'm like, I'm not saying
sports would dominate your life. But I thank my father
in law for sort of raising my wife to realize
that football is part of what she gets it.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
So I think that's key. Now let's get into this list.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
NFL on Fox, we say listen are made for one reason,
and they're made to get people to debate and argue
and fight. NFL and Fox came out with the power rankings,
get bit and of course the top fifteen. Now we
could simply get some of these out of the way
right away and say, of course you knew the top
four we're going to be Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, and Bills.
(38:57):
I think there's no argument that those are going to
be the top for If anything, they'd make everyone's top
five or six. Right then it gets tricky because there's
there's a team that I feel is on this list
early on that I love that, I love the sentiment.
But right there at number six, at number five, the
(39:19):
Packers are there. By the way, a lot of people
think Packers is gonna have a big comeback here. Number
six the Pittsburgh Steelers so controversial because are they gonna
have over nine wins?
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Ten wins? Sixth in the NFL Power rankings.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
You really put a lot.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
On Aaron Rodgers here, who hasn't really proven anything in
the past two years. Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, They've made improvements,
they're old er. Tomlin's like somehow never you know, has
a losing season. But again the Ron Jones think on
behalf of Ralph from NFL and Fox props to Ralph
(39:59):
ralphiev is what I call them.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Don't you guys feel like the Lions should be right
there at that slot?
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah, but again it gets your eyes. It's an I
grab immediately he'd be like, come on the Steelers, and
it gets people muzzn't. Yeah, well, I'll tell you this,
Danny g yesterday without I don't want to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
We're not Spider Harrison or Ryan Seacrest. I'm not gonna am.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
I going to do a countdown of the list coming
into number seven, and we're not going to do that.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
If Washington Commander.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Commandos as I call him, I'm I don't want to
do a countdown list, and if we were, we should
do it reverse. No one starts a countdown at number one.
But Danny said picked the top fifteen. The ones that
stood out to us were the Packers all the way
at five, number six being the Steelers, and there were
a couple o missions that were like what number sixteen
(40:51):
the Denver Broncos. They're considered dead middle of the pack.
And two, I was just watching a clip of Colin
from last week on Fox talking about how they had
like a top ten personnel in fact number sixth ranked
as far as personnel and roster.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
So last week ESPN and the Athletic did a ESPN
did a roster ranking, Athletic did a preseason ranking. In
the ESPAD roster ranking, Denver sixth, green Bay fourteenth, and
the Athletic preseason rankings, green Bay is fifth and Denver's fourteenth.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Yeah, it's tough to figure out the other ones that
stumped us. Yesterday. We talked about it on our regular show.
You can hear it on the podcast Cavino and Rich.
We didn't get fourteen and fifteen, the Cardinals and the Vikings.
I can't that to me is another one. The Cardinals.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
You're trying to guess to the top fifteen and they
were not in our top fifteen. You got young players,
but you're telling me I would listen. I'm not saying
I'm gonna bet my home or my children, but I
think I might wager them. Hev it men, Cardinals placing
better than the Niners on this list. We're gonna break
this down more and our theory about faces of your
(41:55):
team and what it says about your team next right
here in Fox Sports
