up today. I don't know about you. Are you ready

(00:22):

The weather stinks, it's raining out here in Los Angeles.
Everybody's hurt in the NBA and the NFL that I mentioned,
everybody sucks. How's your day going? That being said, we're
here to have a super fun time. Yeah, because it's
cen our time. If you are just listening, you're missing

(00:45):
out on the visuals. Oh yeah, that's right. Hi, everybody,
I got a sweet T shirt on It's YouTube dot
com slash at Covino and Rich FSR. Covino and Rich FSR,
so you can watch what you hear, you know what?
You can also see Monsi Banos. First, we be rocking out.
Let's go all right, Hey, an anniversary of a tremendous

(01:09):
sports movie and a Christmas movie. So we'll get to
a couple of things when we throw it back. Some
baseball off season, some NBA injuries. But I want to
start out by making a major proclamation. Oh boy, Should
I start by saying like hear ye, hear you something? Well, yeah,
I would say that's the proper way. Do we have
horns or trumpets or anything, sam some type of proclamation

(01:34):
music of sorts. By the way, I was SAYM in
the house, Danny G. What's upbody boy? If you want
to chime in. Danny G's on standby the smoothest, most
buttery voice in all of radio. Hell of a guy
living the dad life, loving his Raiders, loving his Lakers.
Even though Bronny got sent down today to the G League.
He's loving his Lakers. Danny G's on the phones at

(01:56):
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox, Danny G to juxtaposition. What a
great word. By the way, Mancy, you proud of that word?
Is that a real word? Juxtaposition? He just learned it though, MONSI,
because he's used it like three times in the past
two days. Oh, it's like on his toilet paper. Yeah,
you know word of the day, Yeah, toilet paper or
to the day? Yep, how dare you? I mean, that's
how it happens. I've known you for twenty years. Never

(02:16):
used that word. It's a real position. It's like a
tenth grade learning word. Sorry it is, it's my learning level.
Danny g goes from rooting on the Dodgers who dominate
and have all these stars and win the World Series,
and then he's like, go Ruders, Like like, can you
be more drastic? Its balanced? That is the balance, Dan,

(02:39):
That's the most balanced fandom I've ever seen. Like one
minute you're like Yo, Freddy o tany Mookie Meds, and
then you're like Juno Smith.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Hey, the dream is Mark Walter can also add the
Raiders to his portfolio.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well you can. You could dream my friends. So Hey,
we're gonna get to a bunch. But my proclamation I
was saying, you got some proclamation music. Here Here are
Fox Sports Radio Nation. I have good news introducing the
greatest head in all the land. Oh the man with
the biggest nogging from here to Eterniaut, I don't know,

(03:18):
we're an Eternia at Dicky Doodle Davis to hear him
here to say good news everyone, NFL fans of every team.
You should be happy today because I'm here to tell
you no one's good. Everyone stinks your team has a chance.

(03:39):
I've had a change of heart. My whole out, I
was about to throw tomato at you. Everybody has a chance,
is what you're saying, My whole sentiment of Fred warners
ow boes outs that goes next year. No, No, I
changed my mind. They have a chance. You know who
else has a chance? Everyone else in the league, unless
you're maybe the Titans, the Giants, Jets, or I don't

(04:01):
know who else, the Cardinals. Can you give me a
little credit though, I want a little credit here. This
is Rich's proclamation. I'm not trying to take away. But
we just came back from Arizona. Yeah, and we watched
Rich's forty nine ers dominate. Granted as the Cardinals, I
get it, but offensively they could be really explosive. They
were clicking with Purdy immediately. They're only going to click

(04:22):
more and more. I would imagine if they could stay
healthy with what they got. And Rich was down in
the dumps. As your mom would say about the defense
playing bad or not playing bad, but you know, suffering
from injury. But if you look around the rest of
the league, if you listen to Mancy Bolanos, everybody's hurt,
nobody's playing hundred. I just heard you say that Daniel

(04:43):
Jones got an ankle thing going on now a calf,
so like, everyone is banged up and no one's that good.
I'll give you the analogy. If you go to a bar,
try to pick up some booty, and you look around
and it's a bunch of ugly dudes. An ugly dude
has a chance. Then I says, no good looking dudes
as your competition. That's a weird analogy. Thank you, but

(05:04):
I'm with you, I followed, But my point is it's
a bunch of tortos. And Rich was sort of like,
and man, the forty nine ers are pretty good, right,
And he gave me the right, And I'm like, dude, honestly,
if they keep it up, they have just as much
of a chance as anybody this year to win. And
I feel like I got in his head a little
bit because he didn't want to. He didn't want to

(05:25):
get two ahead of himself. But I think I sort
of confirmed what you were feeling, right, perpetuated a thought
that I sort of had a little bit, which was,
you know what, maybe every team does have a chance.
Now I don't want to ruin my own theory, but
there are a couple teams that I'm like, yeah, they're
pretty good. I don't think they're unbeatable. The thing is there.

(05:45):
We've lived in times where you were like, all right,
it's Bradier Manning. We've lived in times where it's like
Seattle's Defense or you know, the Chiefs. We've lived in
times where there are certain teams that guaranteed you could
punched their ticket to the AFC R NFC Championship. Right now,
it is as open as could possibly be. This is

(06:05):
like I'm telling you, look around the league and tell
me one team you would like put your money on.
I dare you. Maybe the Rams. But Matthew Stafford's old.
He's any given moment, he's a good dude. His kids
go to the same place as my kids go. There's
a question mark for all these teams, Patriots who are

(06:26):
hot right now. Every team's a quarterback a little stumble
away from an ankle high ankle's frame. No one's that great.
So my point is, if you're like, my team's good,
but I guess this is not the year. The minute
you think maybe maybe the Packers are great, they're wishy washy.
The Lions. Even Profet who is running the boards here,
who was always like Lawrens Lyons Lyons, He's like, they're

(06:48):
just a regular team this year, and I go, yeah,
so is everyone else. You tell me the Bears are
in first place. Tell me Caleb Williams gonna win a
Super Bowl? Yeah, out of here. And if he's done
to say, it's an old like Mexican saying or something,
or maybe I don't know, and Spanish just sounds better
as one of those. In the Land of the Blind,
the cyclops is king. You might have made that up. No,

(07:10):
but she would say things like that because she's weird.
But it's true, right.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
So.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
The lands suck. The average team is the best. You
don't have to be that good this year to really
stand out that much. It's anybody's league. When everyone stinks
the way they're stinking, when there's no consistency and every
team is suffering with injury. In the Land of Suck,
the average guy wins. The average team is the best

(07:37):
one out there. And I don't need to do my
usual Colin Cowhert and give you thirty five analogies. Stars
but stars. It goes to dating, boxing, the workplace, anything. Honestly,
the cyclops, the cyclops, it's always been might go to analogy.
But think about it. If if there's a division of
boxing but there's no dominant champion, everyone's mediocre and you

(08:00):
go through a lull in that division. We've seen it
happen on a on a reality show, right, let's do that.
How about that? There have been years where there's a
clear winner. No one watches anymore. But remember back in
the day, it was like, all right, Kelly Clarkson's gonna win,
she's great, or carry under it, she's a star. Then
there's seasons where it's like, no one's really that good,
So I guess it's anyone's how Taylor Hicks one because

(08:21):
I never understood that. After that you stopped botching a
guy like fifty five years old doing the twist and
he won that season. He was probably your age now,
but he just felt I don't know how that guy win?
How did that get? He's one of the people, he
was one of it. You know, people are like he's
one of us, or maybe maybe to tie it into
the season. No one was really that good, so it
didn't require much to win that season. And that's what
we're saying about the NFL right now as it stands.

(08:44):
Tell me, tell me go around the room of the
of my court. Since I am making a proclamation, give
the music, Sam Samuel, people in the Fox from radio.
We welcome the lamey, stop the lay, the corneyist of
the corney, the yuppiest of the yuppies. He's sticky doodle Davis. Sorry, well,

(09:08):
you know what I want everyone in the room right
now to tell me. I'm so bad. If I was
the king, what have you put you in the guillotine?
I'd put your head on a spike. I have an announcemant.
I found the witch by we bought. How did you
have that so fast? I got all kinds of jobs. Oh,

(09:30):
you don't realize that I was saying, has a medieval soundboard.
Then he breaks out once in a while. So go
through the AFC first, right, I'm gonna give you a
couple of teams. You tell me with a straight face
of your guaranteed divisional or championship round New England. You
think no they're not battle tests to get there. Test
they're good. They turned it around, and you can't really

(09:53):
say with one hundred confidence that you believe a young
quarterback that he's writing for that. That's all I'm saying,
Like he's not proving you. As far as battle testing,
Drake made is adorable, wife sound great, got a young Yeah,
great dude, playing great MVP chants all around, not trying
to take anything away. I don't know if I'm believing
the hype yet because of the battle testing young quarter

(10:14):
young quarterback. Anything's possible. Careful, you might get a Cam
Newton headline. Buffalo, I thought two a round. I thought
it inconsistently. I thought this was the year. What Buffalo
team are you getting?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
What if Josh Allen has another six touchdown performance tonight, well.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Then they're on the right track and they're on the
right track. But if Buffalo tonight somehow squeaks by or
has like an average mediocre game against Houston, this will
prove my sentiment right, all right, I'm not convinced. Go
to the North. Pittsburgh's falling apart. Aaron Rodgers looks like
old man Winter more and more every day that Honestly,
that team should live in a cupboard with old mother Hubbard,

(10:51):
the gold and tired, shut up. Baltimore is sneaking.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Up, but Baltimore doesn't have a good defense. Someone take
its crown away.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Indian applis again. Damiel Jones hurt really fun story. But
Daniel Jones might be a little banged up and that'll
play a factor. And Jonathan Taylor, Oh, we're banking on
him to just not have any hiccups. Right Well, here's
the truth about that. Though. I mean, I'm a big
Daniel Jones supporter. I just want to see him do well.
I always felt bad of his situation. You know you
felt that when you were You felt bad when he
had that breakaway run for the Giants and fell on

(11:21):
his face. That was second to like the butt fumble
to me for real, Like that was so embarrassing, that
goes that was horrible. That team rides and dies with
Taylor really does, like he sets the tone. I'm not
saying Daniel Jones isn't important. I think he's great. Yeah,
but they'll be fine. Let him get healthy. I don't
know how serious this injury is, but it is Taylor's
team right now. Know what. People don't talk enough about

(11:43):
Earsay's daughter, like on the sideline, really being involved, Like
I feel like she's not getting enough love because I
feel like it was really mocked and criticized at first.
Well she's not running things, she's just observing. But she's
they're eight and two and she's really evolved and learning
on the job, but also seems to have insight Like
that was that was probably mocked in a lot of

(12:04):
NFL circles, and now it's like, yeah, mocking it now
she's you know, I think that's a pretty cool story.
No one's talking about, all right. Not convinced though, Jacksonville,
as you said in our appre show meeting Monsei, unless
Trevor Lawrence is playing the Chargers every week, then not unbelieving.
I don't either Denver. Week to week we say bo
Nick sucks and then he's the man, then he sucks

(12:25):
that he's the man. Colin Coward two weeks ago is
like Sean Payton needs to find a new Q beach
now like that's where having a conversation about. And then
Kansas City. If they lose against the Colts this week,
they're done. So no AFC team stands out point made rich.
I know, all right, let's go to the NFC. Eagles

(12:47):
look pretty good, but there's rumblings out like Jalen Hurts
is unhappy and they're like they're not pleased with him.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
There's like a thread you can pull, you know, like
that they can unwind.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
You remember a couple of years ago, numb A couple
years ago they I think they started the season, correct
me if we're wrong, like eleven and one or twelve one,
and then they unraveled and lost in the wildcard rounds.
Very capable of unraveling. Nick Siriani is passionate, but that
passion could turn to disarray quickly. No one else in
that division is making the playoffs. The Bears with Kayleb Williams,

(13:19):
I'm really impressed by the story. Well, hold on, here's
the cool part about them. If we're trying to be fair,
it feels like they're improving every week. Yeah, I feel
like they're getting better and better, right, So that's that's
a positive. But I mean, are you sold on them?
I don't know what I'm sold on. I'm sold on
that Black Friday game. I know you're gonna be at
Walmart trying to get new socks or something. It is

(13:41):
a sale on goldtos Comito's gonna be going to get
gold to socks. You'll all be watching what I think
is going to be the game of the NFC year
so far, which is the Eagles and the Bears on
Black Friday. That is a telling game. If that's close,
then my goodness, I don't know what to tell you.
So Bears, what a hell of a good story. Chicago, congratulations.

(14:02):
The Packers sixty three and one, respectable, But I mean
Jordan Love is suspect week to week, whereas Colin Jacob
I hate Colin on the treadmill every once in a while,
and it's like, you know, they do suffer from an
identity problem, like who are the Packers? Who are they?
They try to go at a run game and Love

(14:23):
improvises and they Jacob make bagged up, bang up, They don't.
They're not again another team with no identity, no consistency,
And Matt Lafleur is being questioned for the first time like,
oh is he the guy? And by the way, I
just pictured you and Colin on side by side treadmills.
You meant you listen to him? While you're on the truck.
Hit him up. I thought you meant you texted him. No,
I go to twenty four hour fitness. You think he's

(14:44):
going to twenty four hour fitness. He's an Equinox guy,
for sure, Equinox. He's a home gym kind of guy. Detroit,
my goodness, I really love that team. Not as a fan.
I enjoy watching Detroit, but something's just not something's not
clicking personnel wise or something. It's just perfet as our
resident Honolulu Blue fan, what do you say? They're just

(15:04):
another team this year? I think the play calling for
the Lions is obviously they lost Ben Johnson. We thought
at first that they were going to be fine because
they were scoring a lot of points and in some
of their losses they've not put up much at all.
You can't lose the best offensive coordinator in the game
to you know, a head coaching position and expect that next.
And they do have this amazing personnel though. Also they
got the guys.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Also, that old criticism of GoF not being able to
play in the cold is kinder pass. Sure, Yeah, but
there's a whole bunch of dome games coming up for Gough.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
They may emerge and what's the sentiment now in the
in the South, Baker's struggling, going through a bad streak
for the first time. So the Bucks aren't playing well.
In fact, the Bucks this week are underdogs to who
they are playing, the Rams. They're playing the Rams in LA.
So the Bucks we dropped to six and five. So
point being there, you go, still not convinced anyone's good

(15:56):
except maybe Philadelphia. And they're, like said, they're one little,
one little thing away from unraveling because they have that capability.
Right now, I still don't believe in the Seahawks when
I should. I think my Niners are right there with them.
The Rams might be the only team. And I hate
to say that, I'm I'm a New York guy, I'm

(16:16):
a Niners fan. I live in LA. I don't know.
Rams might be it, This might be Matthew Stafford's chance
to be like I'm a two time Super Bowl champ
call to day. But because as still is true, it's
anybody season, anybody anyone that counted their team out, like
because my sentiment all along was like, I'm a Niners fan. Yeah,

(16:39):
they'll sneak into the playoffs as maybe like the second
or third wildcard, and you know what'll happen. They'll probably
get they'll probably get bounced in the wildcarter divisional rounds.
But you know what, I'm not so sure anymore. They're
seven and four, not so sure. Any offense not too
sham and the Niners could are very well going to
be ten and four. It then they have a couple
of tough games, but you know, the Niners play over
the next three weeks Panthers, I believe the Titans and

(17:03):
the Browns like three week ass games where the Niners
if they if they don't win, Yeah, the forty nine
ers play the Panthers, Browns and Titans. You should be
ten and four then all of a sudden, even even
if you're not the team everyone's talking about, you don't
think brock Party has a couple weeks to tune up.
We're seeing a lot of mediocrity. Injury has a big

(17:23):
part of that inconsistency, like I said before, another major
part of that. And it's just so much back and forth.
The Bills could break that tonight. And we'll get to
your feedback now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Your thoughts, it's actually a positive thought it's a great dart.
Your team, even though hey, they might be middle of

(17:44):
the pack right now, they're still in it because no
one's that dominant. It's good. Nobody's that dominant this year
at all. It's good news. Everybody. Everybody's vulnerable, everybody's beatable.
As anybody's league fourteen teams make the postseason, you can
make an argument that any of those four team teams
could make a run if things go right. I think
this is the most parody we've ever seen in the

(18:05):
NFL as far as no team really standing out. The
many you think of team stands out, they have a
bunk game and take a big step backwards. We've seen
it with every team that looks good. So dare I say,
good news, NFL fans, your team is in it. Do
you want horns to play you around? Or no? I
think I'm good? Oh you sure you want them horns?
I would could Sam juggle? Sam? Are you the town

(18:28):
Chester here? Jester FSR? He's the cheese of cheese Aton,
the Dunce of Dunzeton, the goober of Gouberton. He's the
head of FSR. Dickey Davis, Yes, he just won his
clubs on fire. Thank you, guys, thank you. When I
see the head of FSR, I mean he's got a
giant head. By the way, let me know if you

(18:49):
agree or disagree, then I agree with The number is
eight seven, seven nine nine on Fox or the most
interactive show here. So if you want to call up
and tell me I'm full of baloney, you're dead on
with this one, then hey, I would love to hear
from me. If you agree with me, you're pretty smart
because I think I'm right on this one. So is
there parodying the NFL like never before where you don't
see a standout team? Let us know again eight seven, seven,

(19:11):
nine to nine on Fox. We'll talk a bunch more NFL.

(24:20):
really is anybody's NFL season, more so than ever before.
That's just facts. I'm reading the feedback. And by the way,
this computer has the speed of my AOL dial up.
In nineteen ninety eight, my Compact Forsario had the same. Now,
my Hew Packard I had a gateway that was faster
than that. Literally, remember when you would download a really

(24:42):
safer work photo and it would take like line after
line to get the picture. This is the slowest computer
of all time. But I did see that Wes hit
us up and he goes doctor Jones has a chance.
Man Colin in Canada hit us up, said, what about
the broncos Man, we downplaying them. Vegas hit us up
saying the Bucks are gonna beat the Rams this weekend,
and Baker gets back on track. You watch and new

(25:05):
phone who has hit us up on the in show
and said Burrow's coming back. Bengal's gonna win every game
down the stretch and win that Bunk Division and go
on to win the whole thing. That would be the story.
I wonder what that prop that would be in Vegas
right now? What's the future on the Bengals winning the
super Bowl? It really is who gets hot right now?
Who gets hot right now? And he could start with

(25:26):
the Bills, like we said tonight, we'll see. Let's go
to Mike in Vegas. What's up Mike?

Speaker 7 (25:32):
Hey, you guys, A long time listener, first time caller.
Just works dad, But I love the show. I'm a
Lions fan of sixty years old, lifetime of frustration. But
my comment is that I think Jared Goff and cold
Weather is miserable. I don't know if you guys watched
before the game Sunday where he had two gloves on
anytime a quarterback's wearing two gloves, I never like that.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I will say It's so funny with say that had
such a problem. We watch that game with Kavino brother,
You're making that like he's twelve, he's thirty something. He's like,
you know, I don't get why he just has those
gloves on. You like, take him off? Is he cold
or something? How hate those spirals and two gloves here? Yeah,
the guys come on. It was noticeable. Man up Jared,

(26:14):
But uh, Mike, what do you think? And then if
not your Lions, who who do you feel like might
have an edge? Because at this point I feel like
no one does.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
I think in the division, I think it's wide open
and the North. The thing that scares me is the
Lions do finish on the road in Chicago. So again
the glove wearing Jared Off will be quarterbacking. Man, We'll
see what happens.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Can I tell you that right now? I was sort
of right, which doesn't shock me. I just like the
Vegas odds, which have been updated, and the Rams are
now the favorite to win the Super Bowl unless wow,
the Rams and the Eagles the two teams. The Rams
of the Eagles are plus five point fifty and then
after that you got the Bills, Colts, Lions, Chiefs as

(26:57):
a handful teams that are about plus eight nine hundred
or so.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
But by the way, Rich the Bengals plus thirty thousand
to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
I want to get Coa's college tuition. Let's let's do it.
Let's go on, and how did we get here? We
were at the forty nine ers game this weekend and
I was like, yeah, man, why not why not the
forty nine ers? Because changed his mind and yeah, honestly,
why not? Why not any team that's playing decent. I'm
the fan that discounted my team the minute Fred Warner

(27:28):
went down. When when Bosha went down, I'm like, maybe
they could overcome When Fred Warner, the heart and soul
of the defense went down, I'm like, yeah, it's just
not gonna happen. But it's a great opportunity in life,
right when you see a bunch of average people or mediocrity,
or no one really taking the bull by the horns, Like,
that's a great time for somebody to step up at
the company in the dating pool. How many we always say,

(27:52):
how many beautiful women in Texas or with a bunch
of goobers, Right, that's a great time for you to
go there and dominate. I feel like I said a
sneak disc as my wife's from Texas. I know, but
we had that thought. No, we had watching America's Sweetheart,
and every time we go South we see beautiful women
with like dope be looking. Hey, listen, what's up Texas.

(28:13):
Point is if people are just average at your workplace
or in life or in your neighborhood, you could be
the king of the duel of the tool bag. So
I'm just trying to be nicer. Yeah, well, I said
it before. If you got a if you got a
dad bought in a belly, doesn't matter. If no one
at the beach has abs.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
And sometimes even if somebody does have abs.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
It doesn't matter. Somebody in the NFL has to step
up and it could be your team. Guys. We can
have some good super we can have some good playoff
parties at my house. I'm pumped this January.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Yeah, I wouldn't dismiss the Panthers.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, I got the heated pool. I got the heated
pool in the hot tub. Now, okay, yeah, okay, Ellie,
it's gonna be fun. We gonna have a great football
playoff seats. I can't wait, let's go. You said, don't
discount Hill the Panthers in your next matchup. You know
Big Mike, the guy that runs this place, who Mike,
He's he's he's the lone Panthers that I know. You see,

(29:11):
he looks like like stone Stone old Steve Austin he loved,
he runs like stone old him and I we have
a taco bet nice because he's like, how about my
paranther is gonna whoop your niners? And we bet a
whole whopping taco Tuesday five dollars. That's right, that's great.

(29:34):
You know what, if they listen to the Panthers, I
will be bummed. But then again that would if that happens.
Have not been ass they have been. There's six and five, right,
And if the Rams beat the Bucks and the forty
nine ers get upset by the Panthers, we're looking at
like these teams are right there together and the who
would have thunk that?

Speaker 5 (29:54):
Who would have thunk it?

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I don't want to overdo it, which I am, so
you could, you could make fun of me, but again
you would never in a million years have thought going
into Week twelve that the Patriots, the Steelers, the Colts,
the Broncos, the Bears. Of those, Yeah, we're talking six
of the eight divisions, you would be like, no way,

(30:18):
that's the team that's leading. The only one thing that's
sort of predictable is you thought the Bucks would be
in control of their division, but only by a half game.
You thought the Rams and the Niners might be going
head to head, so that's not shocking. The only one
that's sort of playing the way you think is Philly
because they're just the best team in that division. If
I'm a Washington fan, that might you might be the
most letdown of any team. Yeah, I know. The injuries

(30:40):
are substantial injuries period in life and in every small buzz.
I gotta tell you about the NBA in a few
minutes in Monty.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I'm sorry to say this, but the way your Chargers
started the season started, I feel like the Chargers fans
should be the most let down right now.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
I do feel very let down. Joe Losing Joe Alt
twice was a big hit, but like, yeah, it's like
you guys said, no one, no one, I trust no one,
and everyone is inconsistent.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Joel control all delete you like that because he's like
insignificant right now. I do like that, Joe when you
that team with or without Joe.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
All, delete that from the podcast, Joe All delete it's good.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Rich, just got it. Steve's coming up with just good
one after good one. Man. Man, I'm on fire right now.
Just got it. You know what, in a room full
of mediocrities, not that hard Sam Wow. We've we've pointed
out that in the sports world, it's not many funny people.
So like, you don't mean to be Cedric the entertainer
and make people laugh in the sports world. So Joe

(31:49):
All when he plays or doesn't, I almost is he does.
He played the role of five linemen because when he
feels that way. Because Danny, you were saying this the
other day, I gotta give you credit with credits to
you were like, yo, without Shoe All, they're miserable. But
when Joe Alt's in there, like he is effective. Yeah,
like a security blank.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
And even though Gino Smith is bad under pressure without
Colton Miller. Same thing for the Raiders. The Raiders have
suffered from the same thing the Charges have suffered from
a revolving door on the O line. And it just
goes to show you if you can't protect your quarterback
or your quarterback can't run half the time you are dead.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
There's a handful of guys like that that you know,
the only guy that used to get credit for being
that effective you got you name two of them just there.
But my dude, big Trent Williams, like you would, they
would talk about how like if he's on the he
alone could protect the quarterback somehow. Joe alt Is is
that yeah, all right, well you know there she is Monzels,

(32:44):
what's going on? Not just any man? The most popular
anchor in all federal prisons. You got this is great,
She's she's huge in the big house.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
I got a d I don't check my dms very often,
but I have happened to check right now and I
got one last night that says just letting you know,
people in federal prison love your updates on Fox Sports
Radio because you tell all of the scores with pizzazz
and spunk facts.

listens to our network.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Thank you, Yes, right see you guys we reached the masses.
Week twelve of the NFL is going to kickoff soon
from Houston Texans and Bills. That's at eight fifteen Eastern time.
Bills have elevated wide receiver Gabe Davis for tonight's game. Also,
Texans running back Joe Mixon is not expected to return
the season because of his foot injury. So there goes
my fantasy pick. He's been on my ir this entire time.

(34:02):
For a second straight day, Bengal's quarterback Joe Burrow was
a full participant participant in practice. Cincinnati hosts the Patriots
this Sunday. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson return to practice after
missing yesterday with an ankle issue. When it comes to
the NBA, King Center, Demonte Sebona suffered a partially torn
meniscus in his left knee, so he is going to
be reevaluated in.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Three to four weeks.

Bus brothers. Joey served as the alternate governor and vice

luck right now.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Towarts half court lively into the front court. Williams drives baseline,
flips it up. It's an offensive foul. The ball went in.
It's an offensive foul against Brenson Williams.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Wow, are you kidding me?

Speaker 7 (36:55):
It was?

Speaker 8 (36:56):
And this is obviously I would think going to be
challenged by Jason Kidd. Yes, that's a great call by
the official. There was a lot of contact there. That
is the right call. What a job are they offish?

Speaker 1 (37:09):
And they can't challenge because there's no time out.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
So the Knicks, with points seven seconds to go, bridges
lobs it in Washington touches it. The game is over
and the Knicks survive one thirteen to one eleven.

Speaker 1 (37:22):

thirteen one eleven. Courtesy of Knicks Radio Network. That was

it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, so this is the chance to get you involved
in Reminisce eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox we
do this every Thursday. Everyone put their thinking caps on
because on this day it is I don't got one,
all right. On this day in nineteen seventy six, Great
Year bi Centennial, Best Year Rocky had its premiere in

(38:32):
New York City, and the streets of New York City
were buzzing about this film. Yeah, if you've watched any
Stallone documentary, this wasn't the opening of the movie nationwide.
This was that New York City premiere where Stallone saw
the line wrapped around the block and people buzzing and
talking about it, and in that moment he said, like
you're like, I knew my life was gonna change that

(38:53):
Holy moly, he knew in that moment that this movie
was not only well received, people immediately were saying, Oscar Worthy,
is this guy, Sylvester Stallona star a guy that they
didn't even want to star in this movie? Remember when
when he wrote the movie, they're like, yeah, well buy
the script, but uh yeah, not you. And he sold

(39:14):
everything he had to make it happen. He sold Budkus
the dog. He was the real underdog story, right, and
now they're making a biopic about him. Pretty well, on
this day, it came out in New York so much buzz,
such success that the next day right it continued to

(39:34):
open in more theaters in New York City.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
They opened it up in New York City the next day,
and then for the whole country at the start of December.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
But this is when the Rocky hype began, on this
day in seventy six. So we have a theory. I
can't say everybody, but most people have a different ranking
when it comes to the Rocky movies. Yeah, you know,
and you know that them we're special or for their

(40:01):
own reason, You're gonna have a different ranking for sure.
If you include five and six Rocky Balboa. There's six
movies in the Rocky franchise. We're not gonna count the Creed, no, ca,
You've got to count the Creed. Oh you sorry, you're
gonna put the Creeds in there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
We argued about this a few years back, all three
of the Creeds. Yeah, because your top four could be
any of the Rocky franchise.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Oh wow, oh my goodness, Now you threw me for
a damn loop, Danny g truth be told through four loop.
This is like becoming the Rocky Cinematic Universe. We're gonna
have like all these offshoots and something.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Like Balboa Creed, but it's got to be part of
the franchise.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Well, you know what, let's hear your top four of
all of those. Everyone has a different order. Listen, when
you talk about the Rocky movies. I know for a
fact my order is gonna be different than yours, and
yours in yours. So let's pay a little tribute to
one of the greatest characters in sports movie history. As
you like to say, not just a sports movie, A
beautiful love story. Was a love story, is a love story?

(41:01):
Where's your head? Three? Adrian dropped her hat? Uh, Rocky Balboa.
We talk about it next and take your feedback. Most
Interactive show eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox,
paying tribute on a throwback Thursday. Let's Go
