seven ninety nine on Fox and we got Big Ryan
(01:46):
the controls on the ones and twos. What up Ryan?
Hello there, sirs, Ryan, We got to talk to you today.
I found out that before we knew you, before your
life here at Fox Sports, Rady help, you dabbled as
a wrestler.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yes, Yes, I did, Yes, I even though I was
on some shows with John Cena.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Well, I was gonna ask you what did you think
of WrestleMania forty one I had it on in the
background all weekend because I mean it is you know
how NFL pregame. It depends on how much you want
to watch. But if you really wanted to, you could
watch NFL coverage from Sunday from the minute you wake
up until the minute you go to bed if you
wanted to. That's wrestle Mania. I feel like it's an
(02:23):
eight hour a day turn on Peacock, which is what
it was on all day Saturday, all day Sunday. It
was packed though. Man, they were packed in there in Vegas,
right like sardine sixty one thousand packs. Yeah, it's just
like insane. But how the hell were you? I mean, Ryan,
I mean it's obvious you're a big dude, But tell
(02:45):
us about that, Like how far did your career go?
And what was that about? What was your name? I
wanted to know that it was Ryan McBain. Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I didn't get get really really far, just here in
LA I started in college, actually, and I didn't tell
my parents. My dad would have killed me if I
was doing that while I was going to college. But
it was fun. I met a lot of guys who
actually made it. Samoa, Joe, John Cena. Like I said,
I've heard a lot of crazy stories. I've met a
lot of cool people. I've met Terry Funk backstage.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And was he as terrible as they say or no,
terrible Terry Funk.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
He was a cool guy.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
He was a dude, so Terry Funk. No, he didn't
branden me.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well you know what, I actually saw a photo proof
of you and your heyday as a wrestler. Big Mike
runs this place, was showing us pictures. You're like, no way,
not quite sure why Mike has shirtless photos of you,
But I'm not sure why it's his wallpaper of his phone.
But yeah, Mike runs this place. But it was cool
to see. And I know the alias Ryan McBain. I
didn't know that was your wrestling name though. I thought
(03:45):
it was like your just screen name or whatever. But
Ryan Smith on the Ones and twos. And I hope
you had a John Cena sort of weekend. And speaking
of John Cena, we're going to talk about something he
did and the times you were bullied into something because
he did something, and we'll explain. Plus NFL Draft trivia
giving away prizes on this Monday, on this big week
(04:08):
and we got to talk Nico Harrison. There's lots to
get to on today's show. I get ready for some
great basketball today, you know, before we get into I
do think there's a great story and just the thought
about Nico Harrison, Dallas Mavericks. But Danny, you seem pretty
calm over the weekend on our text message read about
the Lakers, Like you know, I know how dude, I
(04:30):
was pacing around worrying about the Lakers because the whole
time I'm like, oh, they'll come back, and then I
believed you. I hit up Danny G. I'm like, I
don't know about this game. He's like, they just got
to bookle down on defense. I'm like, all right, so
they'll come back. But they never really came back. Man,
they got they stood.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
They look good out the gate in the first quarter.
They played flat after that.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well what did Reddick say that? They were mentally there,
just not physically ready, physically different.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Phys Yeah, and look, you got to make adjustments. It's
a seven game series. So I don't think any team
should panic after one game of a seven game series.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Ah, but I feel like you need it. I say
we because I'm like sort of invested as a La
Native now for fifteen plus years, and I'm rooting for
you too.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Well, you got to ask yourself though, Couvee. You know
the way nas Reed and the other guys were knocking
down all those shots, Yeah, if they make those same
shots in game two, then I'm worried. I'm like, Okay,
this is not a one game thing. This is a
trend and they just are going to outshoot the Lakers
and they drive to the hoop a lot Lakers. We
talked about it all season. What do they lack some size?
So you know, hey, if they don't make adjustments, then
(05:39):
you have then this could be the Wolf Series.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The only other road team that came away with a
w over the weekend Golden State. But I feel like
that's I know that Houston's a two seed, but not
a terribly better team even record wise. Yeah, the dude
Butler is all the difference right now. Man, just playing
so big and tonight of course Piston's next Clippers Nuggies,
So just more to look over too. And I got
to tell you in a personal note, besides all the
(06:02):
WrestleMania's and the holiday weekend and all the Eastern treats,
that you have to munch on great basketball. Just knowing
that there's baseball on every day such a game changer
for me. Like every day is like Newdi magazine day.
Every day, I know there's something to watch, something be
excited about. And so far the season's been great. I'm
loving every minute of it. So that's a personal note
(06:24):
for me, Like I get so pumped rich to note.
I get to sit around, lamp around and do nothing
to watch baseball. And the big series in the nl
E starts today my Mets hosting the Phillies, and guys
like Lindora saying that city field has been packed and
it's a real home field advantage. So we'll see that.
That battle starts tonight Mets Phillies, and over the weekend,
(06:45):
Wan Soto turns it on a little bit. He's showing
signs of life. I mean, it's about time when you're
paying them a billion dollars a game, but I mean, like,
you know, those one hundred and sixty two game schedule,
hat on them. And I think it's also very positive
in this room because the three teams we root for
in this room are Mets, Dodger Jankies, and they're all
currently looking pretty damn good so MLB in full fact,
(07:09):
But I want to go to Nico Harrison for a second,
because I think he's starting to fall into the category
of being known for the wrong reasons well today, specifically,
he's known for saying stupid things or maybe being too honest,
well when being real goes wrong. Because they asked him,
(07:30):
he was talking about, you know, getting rid of Luca,
and what he said has people scratching their noggins.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I didn't know that Luca was important to the to
the fan base. I didn't quite know it to what level.
But really the way we looked at it is, you know,
if you're putting on the if you're putting a team
on the floor, that's Kyrie, Clay, PJ, Anthony Davis and Lively,
we filled that's a championship caliber team and we would
(07:58):
have been winning and high level and that would acquiet
it some of the outrage, and so unfortunately we weren't
able to do that, so it just continued to, you know,
go on and on.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's true, I mean, there's some truth to that. Had
they played well and had ad stayed healthy and they
all hadn't gone down the way they did, it wouldn't
have stung as bad as it did. But that was
one of the biggest meltdowns and crashes any team has seen,
you know, especially after the departure of a superstar. But
he is basically saying he underestimated Dallas's love for Luca.
(08:32):
That's kind of crazy to be that out of touch
with your own fan base. If you're at the GM, right,
if anyone's supposed to know, it's you. That's how I
feel about it, that that's your job. I think you're
supposed to know that. I think you see it when
there's a great owner or general manager. When they're oblivious,
it's even more shocking to be like, how do you
(08:54):
not know? Like I'll go to my Mets for a second.
When Steve Cohen took over, he's so like, all right, fans,
what altered in Jersey? Do you like best? Like he
wants to be on the pulse of what the fans
are thinking. It's a combination of things, though, Rich here's
how I feel about it, and I find this to
be true because I'm saying it. It's a mixture of both.
(09:15):
It's true because he no, no, because you want to appease
the fans, but you can't let fans dictate anything because
they don't know more than you. They really fans dictated
Sonic the Hedgehog looking different in the movie, and it
ended up being a billion dollar franchise. So but you
don't dismiss the fans. Hear them out, but that doesn't
mean you got to do everything they say. Yeah, they're
the reason that the stadium's full, the reason the team's
(09:39):
making money, you know, the reason you have a job. Sometimes,
you know, the fans are everything, I get it, but
they're not the final decision maker. It's like fans who
are mad about how The White Lotus ended. It's like, well,
guess what, dude, you didn't write it. You don't dictate everything.
So it's a combination of both because you're trying to
appease and please the fans, but it's not their decision.
(10:01):
It's like our show Rich, Yeah, you guys want us
to talk hockey, but guess what, it's our show and
I'm not talking hot that's like two Canadians. No, but
you know what I'm saying though, But there are people
that want us to talk some things and I'm like, well,
that's not what we plan on doing. Today, So I'm sorry.
It's you know, we get the final decision. The fans
might have wanted Luca, but he may have really believed
(10:21):
that it was in the team's best interest to make
that move. It's a good combination. It was a bad move,
but I think it's a little feel of both, and
he has to have that feel as gm of what
the fans really want, and that's where he misstepped. It's
a feel of both, and you nailed it with that
because it is a combination of all. Right, I do
want to take the fans or for like I said,
a radio show, a TV show, a podcast, I want
(10:42):
to take into consideration what the people that are supporting
want to hear, want us to do. Yeah, but they're
not always going to make the smartest decisions, right, They're
gonna make heartfelt decisions a lot of times, and that's
not a great business. Every time there's a managerial opening
in baseball, the fans of any franchise start call for
like some retired player to be the new guy. Like right,
(11:04):
you know, insert Hall of famer that really might not
be the most qualified, but they're like, man, could the manager.
In other words, fans aren't in complete control even though
they want to be we want to be sometimes That's
why Nico Harrison's making millions of dollars to make those
tough decisions. Did he misread it? Yes, because Luca was
an exception He was an exceptional player and he was
(11:27):
exceptionally loved by the fans. Where it was a bad
move and you know he's hearing the flag from it,
and for him to admit that, you could say, Wow,
it's refreshing that he's taken accountability of his naivity there
to not know how much the fans loved him, like
I newly loved him. I just underestimated it. But you
(11:47):
can also say, man, he sounds like a bonehead because
he's supposed to him that. I mean, that's like requirement
one of being a you know, management on a team,
knowing what the fan base to take, you know, have
the temperature of the of the room. But here's the
thought that goes with it. This guy can make the
greatest moves moving forward. He could eventually win a championship.
(12:12):
He may and probably will forever be known as the
guy who made this terrible trade, the guy who let
Luca go. No doubt that means not even a little
bit forever. Nico Harrison could go on to be the
GM or front office or you know, he worked for
Nike for a long time before he entered the NBA. Yes,
you can't take anything away from his success and his resume.
(12:33):
He's not there because he's a swell fella. You know,
he earned his way there. But he'll forever be remembered
for this move. Yeah, and that's what we're getting at
right now, the bad reputation one gets for one thing.
The greatest example, and I'll lead it off and kick
it off. Besides, Nico Harrison again could win a championship
(12:55):
but always be remembered as the guy that let Luca go.
Nico Harrison, you mean the GM that traded Luca and
a guy, you know, the guy and like, yeah, fire
Luca and Fire and Eco all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That guy.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Unfortunately, and if you look at his career stats, you're like, man,
he was a way better player than I thought. Bill
Buckaner is the classic example of what I'm talking about,
because when you look at his stats and you realize
the kind of player he was and the kind of
guy he was. He was a gritty ball player with
solid numbers this is off top of my dome. I
bet you he's close to three hundred home runs two
(13:28):
eighty seven lifetime. He was a great come, a great player,
great first baseman, forever known for that one error. And
it didn't even lose the series. It changed the series,
but it didn't lose the season. Just for the record,
you know, the Red Sox were winning Game seven, three
to nothing in the sixth. Then Hilmy'll never be remembered
for that stellar, solid career that he had. And that's
(13:49):
the sad part about it. He remembered such a big moment.
I get it. He's remembered for it. Gets by buck
there rounding third is night Mets win. So that one
thing that isn't accurate but truly defines your career. That's
what we're getting that. What other examples come to mind?
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox And if you're
playing along at home at Covino and Rich look up
(14:12):
Buckner's numbers. You know, I could I could think of
a ton Dan Byer will not like this answer, being
a Seahawks guy, But we've talked about this before. Brian
Bosworth was one of the coolest dudes. But you bring
up boz Gretas flat time. Ninety percent of the time
his name is in conversation is because someone's talking about
bo Jackson running over him every time, every time, and
(14:33):
it's you can't have the conversation without that. You could say,
well the angle, he didn't have the right angle. It
doesn't matter, it's it's it's how people think of Brian Bosworth.
By the way, I was close Bill Buckner career average
two eighty nine, one seventy four career home runs. But
he played twenty two years of awesome baseball and awesome
(14:53):
defensive baseball at first base, twenty two years in the
big leagues. And it comes down to one more that
people never forgot, and he was forgiven before it was
too late. I'll curb your enthusiasm, and you know they
eventually won, but caught Bernie. He got a baby, a
baby out of a burning building. But again, a longstellar career,
that one moment defines him. Unfortunately, I think.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
Rich wants me to comment and will not comment and
participate in the slander of one Brian Bosworth who just
did not have leverage at the goal line against Jackson.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
That's that's the problem. So I will not. I will
not participate in this slander.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Could we all agree that Jim Joyce, you wouldn't even
know this umpire's name had he not messed up Galarraga's
perfect game. This guy umpired his whole life, probably a
reputable guy, cried about it and apologized. I'd imagine Jim
Joyce even called postseason games an illustrious career for what
he did. But oh, Jim Joyce, the guy that fed
up the perfect game?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You so.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
And then it was the next day that Armando Galarraga
handed out the lineup card. And now I look back
and be like, what a what a sinister move by
the Tigers, because you remember Joyce got emotional at that point,
like we thought it was like a good will gesture.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
And I look back and like.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Diabolical, Yeah, exactly, Like what kind of move was that?
I got one as as a guy that I thought
he played on a bunch of teams and you know,
an all star. I bet you remember having his team
USA card, Robin Ventour, great player, great postseason player, nice
fellow too. But you say Robin Ventour, you picture Nolan Ryan.
(16:28):
I'm giving him a knuckle sandwich, hitting him in the
head over and over and over. That's such a great
answer because it's so unfair. It was so out of
the character of Robin Ventura to even do such a thing.
He was such a slick player, such a great white sock.
He was great with the Yankees, still with the meth
and you know, just a solid career and we always
remember him getting nuggies. He didn't even want to participate it.
(16:51):
If you watched the documentary facing Nolan, it's really unfortunate
about Nolan Ryan. It was so reluctant. You notice Ventura
hesitates at first because there was you know, inter squad
beef going on, and the dugout vibe was if you
get hit, you're charging the picture. And Robin vatur is
like Nolan Ryan like he didn't want to do it.
(17:12):
And Ryan a big, strong man, strength Texans sort of guy.
Nolan Ryan just not that type of player. I don't
think he played with that sort of fury and fire.
He was just like a smooth player. He played sixteen
years in the big leagues career banning average two sixty seven,
lower than I thought, but a great player, good player.
Known for getting punched in the head by Nolan Ryan. Forever, forever.
(17:36):
That's the truth. So this is our version of no. Yeah,
F one goat. You know, you could be the greatest
guy in the world. You could have worked at, you know,
every charity event, you could have helped little children every
time he saw him. You could be great with old people.
But you, F one goat, you're forever that guy. And
if you don't know that, that example is it's like
(17:57):
an old joke where you know a guy, the guy
describes all these great things. You think there's someone out
there that doesn't know the F one goat reference. But
please explain. I think people get it. I mean explain no,
I mean you said it's a matter of fact. I
mean we know the joking reference that you know, you
can do a million things, F one goat, and you're
(18:19):
the goat efforts for the rest of your life. That's
what you're known for. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Richie talked about the baseball example with Robin Ventura. How
about a guy in the NBA who gets posterized and
that's all they're pretty much remembered for, Like he wasn't
a big star in the league, But think of Chris Studley.
He played in almost nine hundred games, but that's doubt.
What's the one game you remember?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
The one games for me? Shack? Yeah, throwing them, Yeah,
wrapping his legs around them and then tossing them. And
then Dudley be like, he gives it like labor.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
It's happened in nineteen ninety nine. He pushed him to
the ground.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Okay, that's such a good one man. Yeah, had a
stellar career, right, think about it. You make it to
the NBA and Dudley throws the ball out him. It's
an accomplishment in his cell though. Right, you're one of
the few. You're one of the one percent less than
that that make it your childhood dream comes true. You're
the pride of your family, the pride of your hometown,
the pride of your alma mater. You make it to
the NBA, and you have a great career, and you're
(19:13):
a New York nick and you play at the Garden
and everything. Your last name's Dudley. That kind of sucks,
but you're still up there with the big boys. Shack
posterizes you, wraps his legs around you, and tosses you
into the stands like a little baby boy. And that's
forever what you're remembered by your forever highlight is on
the receiving end of being punk. That's the worst. That's
(19:35):
gotta sting. And by the way, we say that respectfully. Yeah,
you know we're fans, so yeah, you did it, you
made it. But unfortunately, like these moments define you and
it's not our fault, you know, blame pop culture. I
don't know why people hang on to this stuff. If
you want to chime in with your example eight seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox, shout out to our pal
Jay stew from the Gottlieb Show. Him and I were
(19:57):
the guy. We were talking about this in the lobby
and he came up with a great example. And it's
one of Kavino's childhood heroes. This guy was like the
king of children's programming. Made you laugh for decades. But
you touch yourself in a movie theater one time, Pee
wee Herman was the best thing. I mean, if he
(20:22):
was gonna do that, where was the appropriate place to
do it? Remember this is pre porn hub. Oh, so
you had it at your fingertips. So you're saying, like,
pee we really went he went the right path. I'm
not saying he was right in doing that I'm saying
that he's not the only guy that did it. He
was just the only guy that did it that worked
in children's programming that was winning Emmy awards. He got
(20:42):
but heard any jokes lately. But the late great pee
Wee Herman is a great example of like decades of
comedy and humor. But and you know what happens. It
often gets misconstrued. These these moments turned into a bad
game of telephone and people always assume that he did
something now else, like something far worse than that, and
(21:02):
like go, oh, yeah, I mean you shouldn't be proud
of it, but yeah, you know, by today's standards, today's
standard exactly. Yeah, and everyone's on a only fans, I
think pee Wee's okay. All right, Hey, your feedback, your

the dude that traded Luca? I think he gave everybody
a little more ammunition at that press conference when he
said he sort of underestimated it. Yeah, if you missed
it earlier, quickly take a listen to Nico Harrison talking
about trading Luca and what it meant to the fans.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I didn't know that Luca was important to the to
the fan base. What I didn't quite know it to
what level. But really the way we looked at it is,
you know, if you're putting on the if you're putting
a team on the floor, that's Kyrie, Clay pj Anthony
Davis and Lively. We filled that's a championship caliber team
(24:57):
and we would have been winning at a high level,
and that would have quieted some of the outrage the fans.
So unfortunately we weren't able to do that, so it
just continued to, you know what, go on and on.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
How could he have not known? I mean I feel
that way, how could he have not known? But even
if he continues to have a stellar career as a GM,
we're saying he's always going to be remembered for that.
He has a bad reputation now for this one move,
and it's a huge move. So any other examples of
career defining moments, I mean, it happens in life. What up,
(25:30):
Dan Byer?
Speaker 8 (25:30):
So I just want to piggyback for my own sake
within the show. I just tweeted out the clip that
you played with Nico and saying you couldn't say injuries
in the whole deal, But when you have three of
those five guys that you mentioned, the injury prone guys,
what I mean you can't use injuries as an excuse.
(25:52):
So I know you're going in a different direction and
trying to find the one off thing. But a Nico's
case here, again solely for my social media bubblistic, but
it is it's like in that way, I just don't
buy his argument.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And Dan, it doesn't have to be something necessarily super
negative like the move he made here in the backlash
he's getting. Like just in one's life, sometimes your parents
hold on to the weirdest things and they always remember
your one friend or ex girlfriend by that one weird
thing they did, and they never let it go or
drop it or rich. You and I we've done one
hundred and twenty years of radio together and people still
(26:27):
refer to us as the guys that did the Guacoff competition,
or like, hey, is the dude Bros. Because we used
to say dude bro all out in our twenties, right,
Some people still say that, And sometimes it's hard to
escape those things. You know, Nikole Harrison will never escape
the Luca thing. He'll never escape it. Other examples phones
are lid. So Danny want to start at the top,
we'll make our way down. We'll start with Eric and Dayton. Eric,
(26:48):
you're on the show. What's up?
Speaker 11 (26:53):
Awesome show? Thank you, I said fire Mike Woodson Indiana
die Hard guess what by filicious dollond Boom, but also
being from Indiana, Diehard Icogo Cubs fan. You don't know
where I'm going with this.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You owe me a swiggy that I've been trying.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
To win for months.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Steve Bartman Dusty Baker two thousand and three, Mark Pryor's
second year in the league, first time plowing and is
playing and there thrown in the playoffs. Dude gets him
to a situation where it blows up and you don't
take him out. He blows the game. It was game six, Dusty.
It didn't Bartman didn't do anything. We could have won
that game. We had an inning and a half left,
(27:31):
and then you go on, you lose the next game.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, people forget Bartman was like one little layer of
so many things that went wrong in that game and
for that series. So yeah, Bartman's a great example. Mark
in Syracuse, what's up, Mark, You're on?
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Hey, guys, great show.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Thanks you.
Speaker 12 (27:51):
Just as you guys were talking, I was saying two kaints,
the Soul, the one league Nico, and then there's the
other one that has no fault of your own. So
I hope I got the guy's name right, Rays. I
believe that's the guy. Pete Rose with.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
The All Star Game, Oh with the interview that was uh.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
Oh no Rose ran him over?
Speaker 13 (28:16):
Oh yeah, oh wait, yeah, oh, Ray Fossis, And at
first I think he was talking about when Jim Gray
kept bringing up the fact that it was his first
time there and the allegations.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Remember when they brought him back and he kept having
that awkward interview moment.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
I didn't know what you were talking about. Yeah, Ray
FOSSi was an all star catcher and he was pummeled.
Yeah it later became an Oakland age broadcaster and yeah,
forever people think of him as the guy that Pete
Rose bulldozed.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
You know, this is you. He made me think of
something though, when you said, Jim Gray, it made me
realize there's a whole category of this that we're forgetting.
And it's news people that say one flub and they
could be the the NBC like Chicago guy for twenty
five years. They could be the lead anchor, you know,
for a major city for their whole life. One missed,
Like I think of the guy out here forever, the
(29:01):
guy out here there was an earthquake in LA who's
like the like handsome black dude broadcaster that gets under
the table during an earthquake and he puts his finger
up in the air.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Shopbled Chris, is it? Chris Shoble.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, that guy. I'll always every time I see I'm like, oh,
the earthquake guy. There's people that say one flub on
the news and that's their defining moment, defining moment. Unfortunately,
it's not fair by the way. It's just what it is.
And like our last caller said, sometimes you bring it
upon yourself, other times you don't. It just sticks with
you for whatever reason. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
(29:35):
Dwayne more examples done in Texas. What's up, Dane?
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 12 (29:41):
I bought my tickets for Vegas. So nice there in June.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
They'll be nice.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
If I say the name craig Elo, what do.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You think of craig Elo? No, tell us what.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Jordan's shot over him to win the uh oh, to
win the game?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah? See if that that completely sucks. If that's it,
that was the game five dB. If that is what
you're defined.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Famous video where you're seeing it from behind and on
the shop, Yeah that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, you don't see you don't want to be defined
by that. But is there in a way it's kind
of cool. I don't know in that case, you know
what I want to let's skip to six or second
because I love Greg's example in West Harford. Greg, you're
on the show.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Yeah, I'm just gonna say his name, Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
What do you think of Mark Sanchez? I mean, geez,
I mean the guy had a career where he took
the Jets further than any other quarterback in the last
twenty five years. Mark Sanchez is a great guy, insightful.
How do you erase these moments? Then when it's unfair,
like that's unfair, right, that's an unfair one. Lean into it,
maybe like I'm blood fumble guy. I don't know, Like
you gotta reinvent yourself, you know, in along the lines
(30:51):
of Nico Harrison, on a much smaller level, our buddy
Steve Phillips never outran that. Mo Vaughn sort of moved.
I feel like that haunted him back in the day.
I remember a lot of people being mad about that.
It's always the missteps that people hold on to. You
could do a million great things, it's the missteps that
people remember. So just have to wearwithal to think ahead.
Sometimes someone sleeps with one person they shouldn't sleep with,
(31:13):
and that's a reputation forever. Yeah, it's unfortunate what you
got Ryan.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Tom Chambers ducking over Mark Jackson. You don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I do. I do you know what I was while
you was thinking that I had just I was thinking NFL,
and for some reason I realized Cam Newton such a
you know, a boisterous fun personality in sports now you know,
really thinks high of himself, thinks he's greater than everyone.
People all picture Cam Newton not going for that fumble
in the Super Bowl, letting that loose ball just sort
of linger around him. So to me, you say, Cam Newton,
(31:48):
I think that lazy play. So some things are more
forgivable than others. This Nico Harrison still fresh and this
wound is still oo right, So I stand it. But
a lot of these we hold on to and it's
really not fair. Let's let's say how to Ronnie. Then
we'll go to dB for an update. Ronie and Vegas.
He real quick, Ronnie, what's up?
Speaker 14 (32:09):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Guys?
Speaker 10 (32:09):
By you guys going?
Speaker 14 (32:10):
Thanks taking my call?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (32:12):
I want to say Chris Webbers, dude, timeout, timeout, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, I mean, perfect example of what we're talking about.
Chris Webber, great, amazing college career, great NBA career guy
calls the time out one, there's no timeouts. That's his
that's the lead. Those lasting images, lasting memories, and you
gotta figure out here's the key, figure out a way
to erase it. Please, just gotta be away, all right,
damn byer what's doing buddy?
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Nico Harrison still has a job as a GM. That's
not the case with Landry Fields, fired today by the
Atlanta Hawks as their general manager.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Just one of a few moves in the NBA.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Duke freshman forward Cooper Flag announced his intentions to enter
the twenty twenty five NBA Draft. He was the consensus
player of the Year in college hoops in his only
season in college basketball, led Duke to a Final four,
a unanimous first team All American, and Cooper Flag's likely
to be the first overall pick in the draft come
late June. Box guard Damian Lillard's been upgraded to questionable
(33:10):
to play in tomorrow's Game two against the Pacers. Game
twos tonight in the NBA Playoffs, Pistons at the Knicks
seven thirty Eastern time, Clippers at the Nuggets ten o'clock Eastern.
Walker Bueller won seven and struck out nine, got his
third win of the season as the Red Sox won
over the White Sox for to two. On this Patriot's Day,
bunch of news from the NFL, the Eagles and center
Cam Jergens agree to terms on a four year extension
(33:31):
worth sixty eight million dollars. Jets picked up the fiftyear
options on all of their twenty twenty two first round picks,
that Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson and rich
Mike Silver of the Athletics. As the forty nine ers
are far apart on extension talks with tight end George Kittle,
and there have been no substantial, substantial talks that is
on a new deal for linebacker Fred Warner. As for Brock,
(33:53):
perties deal going to be north of fifty million dollars
as the size continued.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Now that see, everything you said there makes it hurts
my feelings. And it's over three because you just told
me they're far apart on Kittle and Warner and Brock's
gonna make over fifty Good night, it's over. My Niners
lost their window. If they can't figure this out, window closed.
And I hate to say that. Oh, Fred Warner and
(34:17):
George Kittle is so much more important than brock Party
in this bigger situation. Sorry, Rich, that's right, Sorry about
that man. Hey, thanks Dan Byer, Sorry, thanks dB dan Byer.
All right, hey, we'll take the rest of your phone
calls and feedback. Next again the Nico Harrison moments in

drunk one time? Everybody forget you want to super Bowl? Everybody,
Remember you got to balance workforce for production demands in
a variable economy. Balancing you're spending while maintaining the necessary
team could be tricky. It's time to try something new.

You say or do one thing, and everything else you
do in your career sort of takes backseat to that
one moment.
Speaker 8 (36:27):
Yeah, guys, I wanted to I didn't give you my nominee,
and I thought that the caller hit it on the head.
There's some stuff that happened to you or some stuff
that you do.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
PJ.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Carlstima was a great college basketball.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Coach at Seaton Hall, led him to a national championship
game called Games. For years, he'll always be known as
the guy that was choked by Latrell's pretty well like
the coach that was choked by the to no fault
of his own except probably yelled at him too much.
But whenever you end up bringing up that name, that
m fortunate side. Yeah, it's when it's when you're on
the receiving end of it.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Yeah, I wanted to tell you that.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
I also want to tell you Express employment professionals can
provide contract workers to flex up for peak seasons. Well
that I having to raise your core workforce, headcomp manager,
workforce differently. Is it expresspros dot com today? That's expresspros
dot com, Thank you dB.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah. Nico Harrison brought this upon himself for being naive
to not even know that it would be this impactful
right by his own admission, let me And then there's
people like like like Dan Byern brought up where like
Michael Moore the boxer, he's not known for being a
heavyweight champion. He's known for being knocked out by George Foreman,
the oldest heavyweight champion in the world. But he brought
(37:34):
up a coach. I was gonna say, tell me what
you picture when I say Van Gundy. He's holding onto
the leg of who was Morning's leg, his hair flopping around,
says comb over. So sometimes it's those moments were like man,
but on a lighter level too. Like I said, remember
your parents hold onto weird things one time. You know
my example, One time when I was a kid, I
(37:55):
told my mom I liked the Rick Astley song one time.
Never go to k and my mom's never going to
stop bringing it up. Oh, Stephen love athlete. Remember you
used to love Rick Astley? Like mom, I was eleven,
he said it one time and she still thinks that.
So sometimes you just can't outrun this weird reputation because
(38:17):
we hang on to the weirdest things. I think it
exposes a problem with society too. It's like, man, we
really hold onto the band stuff. Huh, rapid Fire, cross Fire.
Let's go to Damon Bakersfield. You start and we'll go quick.
What's up? Man?
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Hey just want to remind you, guys, and it also
works the opposite way. And Rich you should know about
an icon we got for the Mets by the name
of Indy Chavez played thirteen years. They didn't even get
a thousand hits. I think he hit thirty home runs,
but he can't buy a beer in New York walking
down the street.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, because you're right, it could work the opposite. You
do something good and that's your reputation. A la Odell
Beckham Junior. The guy's a good wide receiver, but that
moment catch early in his career that might be one
of the greatest catches you've ever seen in your life,
sort of paved the way I think for the guys
next ten years. So if you're getting to the root
(39:07):
of what we're discussing is defining moments, and Nico Harrison
definitely has his. He can't outrun this reputation he has now.
Kelvin and Indy, what's up got? You?
Speaker 15 (39:16):
Guys are the best? Y'ad the most awesome And I
listened to y'all all the time coming home from work.
I just want to mention two a couple of people
and what you see, what y'all think about it. I
thought about what about if he was at Cleveland Browns
and Jameis Wiston. I don't know if they gonna ever
get over that, all that money, all that investing in him,
and then guy wasn't clear and he hadn't They don't
(39:37):
know if he even rehabbed and got help for that.
And then also, I'm from in Ananapolis, so I'm from Lamar.
I remember Lamar Oldham was he's in high school and
my son now grew up with Lamar Oldham. And they
called me on Draft night and said, Dad, I can't
believe Portland gave him all that money. They don't know
what we know.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
You know what I thought you're gonna say, crab leggs
when you brought up Jameis Winston, because I think that's
a great way to maybe move past it when you
really own it, and he's owned it recently, you know,
maybe then you move forward. But he was talking about
Deshaul Watson's I think he was I think about Watson.
But he said that's what I was expecting to hear,
crab legs.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Some people could point to Jameis Winston though, and say
laptop computer or crab legs, right.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Right, and didn't he recently just dance around wearing a
crab crab outfit. Yeah, do you know you gotta make
you gotta when you include yourself in on the joke
or something. I think is officially over, So maybe that's
the best way to do it. Greg and Ohio, what's up? Man?
Actually that's Jeff and Colorado. We'll go to Jeff Hey, Jeff.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
Yo, Jeff in Colorado here. I'm a Jags fan, so
I can't remember the guy who got posterized by Sakuon
jumping backwards over him. But maybe maybe history will be
kind and forget him.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Yeah, you know, there's always uh, there's only someone on
the receiving end of of a great play, unfortunately. But
that's that's sports, right.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
And by the way, I'm sorry, I think the laptop
that was Cam Newton, right, So either you remember the
fumble or the laptop.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Now I want you Fox Sports Radio Nation to start
thinking about the times you were sort of bullied into
something because the big winner of the weekend, John Cena
and the Timberwolves. Sorry Danny g but John Cena was
bullied into doing something he didn't necessarily want to do.
But I think it's a solid But I think I
want to angle it this way. Sometimes you could be
(41:25):
bullied into doing something and it's a good thing. That's
that's really it. Like I do have an example of that.
I think sometimes like enough people like bust your chops
and your buddies bother you enough where you're like, oh,
thank god, I did that, like you're waiting for Like
you know, I think sometimes people that are hesitant to
do things need a little bullying. And there's a great
(41:47):
John Cena story we'll get to. But you want to
wrap this with Josh. Josh, you got twenty seconds. Let's
go make a snappy buddy. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 14 (41:54):
Hey guys, hopefully you had a good weekend.
Speaker 15 (41:57):
This guy me in my heart goes out to him
because I do he could really go anywhere in Buffalo
and really be admired.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
But Scott Norwood, Yeah, that's a big, great example. Poor
guy missed the field goal in the super Bowl. That's
your legacy. All right, Hey, we'll talk a little John Cena,
we'll talk some NBA playoffs and of course covering for
a big moment that's something else we'll do. And we'll
play a game. I don't want to overpromise, but a
lot of fun. I'm coming up right here.

seven ninety nine on Fox and we got Big Ryan
(01:46):
the controls on the ones and twos. What up Ryan?
Hello there, sirs, Ryan, We got to talk to you today.
I found out that before we knew you, before your
life here at Fox Sports, Rady help, you dabbled as
a wrestler.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yes, Yes, I did, Yes, I even though I was
on some shows with John Cena.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Well, I was gonna ask you what did you think
of WrestleMania forty one I had it on in the
background all weekend because I mean it is you know
how NFL pregame. It depends on how much you want
to watch. But if you really wanted to, you could
watch NFL coverage from Sunday from the minute you wake
up until the minute you go to bed if you
wanted to. That's wrestle Mania. I feel like it's an
(02:23):
eight hour a day turn on Peacock, which is what
it was on all day Saturday, all day Sunday. It
was packed though. Man, they were packed in there in Vegas,
right like sardine sixty one thousand packs. Yeah, it's just
like insane. But how the hell were you? I mean, Ryan,
I mean it's obvious you're a big dude, But tell
(02:45):
us about that, Like how far did your career go?
And what was that about? What was your name? I
wanted to know that it was Ryan McBain. Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I didn't get get really really far, just here in
LA I started in college, actually, and I didn't tell
my parents. My dad would have killed me if I
was doing that while I was going to college. But
it was fun. I met a lot of guys who
actually made it. Samoa, Joe, John Cena. Like I said,
I've heard a lot of crazy stories. I've met a
lot of cool people. I've met Terry Funk backstage.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And was he as terrible as they say or no,
terrible Terry Funk.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
He was a cool guy.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
He was a dude, so Terry Funk. No, he didn't
branden me.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well you know what, I actually saw a photo proof
of you and your heyday as a wrestler. Big Mike
runs this place, was showing us pictures. You're like, no way,
not quite sure why Mike has shirtless photos of you,
But I'm not sure why it's his wallpaper of his phone.
But yeah, Mike runs this place. But it was cool
to see. And I know the alias Ryan McBain. I
didn't know that was your wrestling name though. I thought
(03:45):
it was like your just screen name or whatever. But
Ryan Smith on the Ones and twos. And I hope
you had a John Cena sort of weekend. And speaking
of John Cena, we're going to talk about something he
did and the times you were bullied into something because
he did something, and we'll explain. Plus NFL Draft trivia
giving away prizes on this Monday, on this big week
(04:08):
and we got to talk Nico Harrison. There's lots to
get to on today's show. I get ready for some
great basketball today, you know, before we get into I
do think there's a great story and just the thought
about Nico Harrison, Dallas Mavericks. But Danny, you seem pretty
calm over the weekend on our text message read about
the Lakers, Like you know, I know how dude, I
(04:30):
was pacing around worrying about the Lakers because the whole
time I'm like, oh, they'll come back, and then I
believed you. I hit up Danny G. I'm like, I
don't know about this game. He's like, they just got
to bookle down on defense. I'm like, all right, so
they'll come back. But they never really came back. Man,
they got they stood.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
They look good out the gate in the first quarter.
They played flat after that.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well what did Reddick say that? They were mentally there,
just not physically ready, physically different.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Phys Yeah, and look, you got to make adjustments. It's
a seven game series. So I don't think any team
should panic after one game of a seven game series.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Ah, but I feel like you need it. I say
we because I'm like sort of invested as a La
Native now for fifteen plus years, and I'm rooting for
you too.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Well, you got to ask yourself though, Couvee. You know
the way nas Reed and the other guys were knocking
down all those shots, Yeah, if they make those same
shots in game two, then I'm worried. I'm like, Okay,
this is not a one game thing. This is a
trend and they just are going to outshoot the Lakers
and they drive to the hoop a lot Lakers. We
talked about it all season. What do they lack some size?
So you know, hey, if they don't make adjustments, then
(05:39):
you have then this could be the Wolf Series.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The only other road team that came away with a
w over the weekend Golden State. But I feel like
that's I know that Houston's a two seed, but not
a terribly better team even record wise. Yeah, the dude
Butler is all the difference right now. Man, just playing
so big and tonight of course Piston's next Clippers Nuggies,
So just more to look over too. And I got
to tell you in a personal note, besides all the
(06:02):
WrestleMania's and the holiday weekend and all the Eastern treats,
that you have to munch on great basketball. Just knowing
that there's baseball on every day such a game changer
for me. Like every day is like Newdi magazine day.
Every day, I know there's something to watch, something be
excited about. And so far the season's been great. I'm
loving every minute of it. So that's a personal note
(06:24):
for me, Like I get so pumped rich to note.
I get to sit around, lamp around and do nothing
to watch baseball. And the big series in the nl
E starts today my Mets hosting the Phillies, and guys
like Lindora saying that city field has been packed and
it's a real home field advantage. So we'll see that.
That battle starts tonight Mets Phillies, and over the weekend,
(06:45):
Wan Soto turns it on a little bit. He's showing
signs of life. I mean, it's about time when you're
paying them a billion dollars a game, but I mean, like,
you know, those one hundred and sixty two game schedule,
hat on them. And I think it's also very positive
in this room because the three teams we root for
in this room are Mets, Dodger Jankies, and they're all
currently looking pretty damn good so MLB in full fact,
(07:09):
But I want to go to Nico Harrison for a second,
because I think he's starting to fall into the category
of being known for the wrong reasons well today, specifically,
he's known for saying stupid things or maybe being too honest,
well when being real goes wrong. Because they asked him,
(07:30):
he was talking about, you know, getting rid of Luca,
and what he said has people scratching their noggins.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I didn't know that Luca was important to the to
the fan base. I didn't quite know it to what level.
But really the way we looked at it is, you know,
if you're putting on the if you're putting a team
on the floor, that's Kyrie, Clay, PJ, Anthony Davis and Lively,
we filled that's a championship caliber team and we would
(07:58):
have been winning and high level and that would acquiet
it some of the outrage, and so unfortunately we weren't
able to do that, so it just continued to, you know,
go on and on.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That's true, I mean, there's some truth to that. Had
they played well and had ad stayed healthy and they
all hadn't gone down the way they did, it wouldn't
have stung as bad as it did. But that was
one of the biggest meltdowns and crashes any team has seen,
you know, especially after the departure of a superstar. But
he is basically saying he underestimated Dallas's love for Luca.
(08:32):
That's kind of crazy to be that out of touch
with your own fan base. If you're at the GM, right,
if anyone's supposed to know, it's you. That's how I
feel about it, that that's your job. I think you're
supposed to know that. I think you see it when
there's a great owner or general manager. When they're oblivious,
it's even more shocking to be like, how do you
(08:54):
not know? Like I'll go to my Mets for a second.
When Steve Cohen took over, he's so like, all right, fans,
what altered in Jersey? Do you like best? Like he
wants to be on the pulse of what the fans
are thinking. It's a combination of things, though, Rich here's
how I feel about it, and I find this to
be true because I'm saying it. It's a mixture of both.
(09:15):
It's true because he no, no, because you want to appease
the fans, but you can't let fans dictate anything because
they don't know more than you. They really fans dictated
Sonic the Hedgehog looking different in the movie, and it
ended up being a billion dollar franchise. So but you
don't dismiss the fans. Hear them out, but that doesn't
mean you got to do everything they say. Yeah, they're
the reason that the stadium's full, the reason the team's
(09:39):
making money, you know, the reason you have a job. Sometimes,
you know, the fans are everything, I get it, but
they're not the final decision maker. It's like fans who
are mad about how The White Lotus ended. It's like, well,
guess what, dude, you didn't write it. You don't dictate everything.
So it's a combination of both because you're trying to
appease and please the fans, but it's not their decision.
(10:01):
It's like our show Rich, Yeah, you guys want us
to talk hockey, but guess what, it's our show and
I'm not talking hot that's like two Canadians. No, but
you know what I'm saying though, But there are people
that want us to talk some things and I'm like, well,
that's not what we plan on doing. Today, So I'm sorry.
It's you know, we get the final decision. The fans
might have wanted Luca, but he may have really believed
(10:21):
that it was in the team's best interest to make
that move. It's a good combination. It was a bad move,
but I think it's a little feel of both, and
he has to have that feel as gm of what
the fans really want, and that's where he misstepped. It's
a feel of both, and you nailed it with that
because it is a combination of all. Right, I do
want to take the fans or for like I said,
a radio show, a TV show, a podcast, I want
(10:42):
to take into consideration what the people that are supporting
want to hear, want us to do. Yeah, but they're
not always going to make the smartest decisions, right, They're
gonna make heartfelt decisions a lot of times, and that's
not a great business. Every time there's a managerial opening
in baseball, the fans of any franchise start call for
like some retired player to be the new guy. Like right,
(11:04):
you know, insert Hall of famer that really might not
be the most qualified, but they're like, man, could the manager.
In other words, fans aren't in complete control even though
they want to be we want to be sometimes That's
why Nico Harrison's making millions of dollars to make those
tough decisions. Did he misread it? Yes, because Luca was
an exception He was an exceptional player and he was
(11:27):
exceptionally loved by the fans. Where it was a bad
move and you know he's hearing the flag from it,
and for him to admit that, you could say, Wow,
it's refreshing that he's taken accountability of his naivity there
to not know how much the fans loved him, like
I newly loved him. I just underestimated it. But you
(11:47):
can also say, man, he sounds like a bonehead because
he's supposed to him that. I mean, that's like requirement
one of being a you know, management on a team,
knowing what the fan base to take, you know, have
the temperature of the of the room. But here's the
thought that goes with it. This guy can make the
greatest moves moving forward. He could eventually win a championship.
(12:12):
He may and probably will forever be known as the
guy who made this terrible trade, the guy who let
Luca go. No doubt that means not even a little
bit forever. Nico Harrison could go on to be the
GM or front office or you know, he worked for
Nike for a long time before he entered the NBA. Yes,
you can't take anything away from his success and his resume.
(12:33):
He's not there because he's a swell fella. You know,
he earned his way there. But he'll forever be remembered
for this move. Yeah, and that's what we're getting at
right now, the bad reputation one gets for one thing.
The greatest example, and I'll lead it off and kick
it off. Besides, Nico Harrison again could win a championship
(12:55):
but always be remembered as the guy that let Luca go.
Nico Harrison, you mean the GM that traded Luca and
a guy, you know, the guy and like, yeah, fire
Luca and Fire and Eco all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That guy.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Unfortunately, and if you look at his career stats, you're like, man,
he was a way better player than I thought. Bill
Buckaner is the classic example of what I'm talking about,
because when you look at his stats and you realize
the kind of player he was and the kind of
guy he was. He was a gritty ball player with
solid numbers this is off top of my dome. I
bet you he's close to three hundred home runs two
(13:28):
eighty seven lifetime. He was a great come, a great player,
great first baseman, forever known for that one error. And
it didn't even lose the series. It changed the series,
but it didn't lose the season. Just for the record,
you know, the Red Sox were winning Game seven, three
to nothing in the sixth. Then Hilmy'll never be remembered
for that stellar, solid career that he had. And that's
(13:49):
the sad part about it. He remembered such a big moment.
I get it. He's remembered for it. Gets by buck
there rounding third is night Mets win. So that one
thing that isn't accurate but truly defines your career. That's
what we're getting that. What other examples come to mind?
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox And if you're
playing along at home at Covino and Rich look up
(14:12):
Buckner's numbers. You know, I could I could think of
a ton Dan Byer will not like this answer, being
a Seahawks guy, But we've talked about this before. Brian
Bosworth was one of the coolest dudes. But you bring
up boz Gretas flat time. Ninety percent of the time
his name is in conversation is because someone's talking about
bo Jackson running over him every time, every time, and
(14:33):
it's you can't have the conversation without that. You could say,
well the angle, he didn't have the right angle. It
doesn't matter, it's it's it's how people think of Brian Bosworth.
By the way, I was close Bill Buckner career average
two eighty nine, one seventy four career home runs. But
he played twenty two years of awesome baseball and awesome
(14:53):
defensive baseball at first base, twenty two years in the
big leagues. And it comes down to one more that
people never forgot, and he was forgiven before it was
too late. I'll curb your enthusiasm, and you know they
eventually won, but caught Bernie. He got a baby, a
baby out of a burning building. But again, a longstellar career,
that one moment defines him. Unfortunately, I think.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
Rich wants me to comment and will not comment and
participate in the slander of one Brian Bosworth who just
did not have leverage at the goal line against Jackson.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
That's that's the problem. So I will not. I will
not participate in this slander.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Could we all agree that Jim Joyce, you wouldn't even
know this umpire's name had he not messed up Galarraga's
perfect game. This guy umpired his whole life, probably a
reputable guy, cried about it and apologized. I'd imagine Jim
Joyce even called postseason games an illustrious career for what
he did. But oh, Jim Joyce, the guy that fed
up the perfect game?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You so.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
And then it was the next day that Armando Galarraga
handed out the lineup card. And now I look back
and be like, what a what a sinister move by
the Tigers, because you remember Joyce got emotional at that point,
like we thought it was like a good will gesture.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
And I look back and like.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Diabolical, Yeah, exactly, Like what kind of move was that?
I got one as as a guy that I thought
he played on a bunch of teams and you know,
an all star. I bet you remember having his team
USA card, Robin Ventour, great player, great postseason player, nice
fellow too. But you say Robin Ventour, you picture Nolan Ryan.
(16:28):
I'm giving him a knuckle sandwich, hitting him in the
head over and over and over. That's such a great
answer because it's so unfair. It was so out of
the character of Robin Ventura to even do such a thing.
He was such a slick player, such a great white sock.
He was great with the Yankees, still with the meth
and you know, just a solid career and we always
remember him getting nuggies. He didn't even want to participate it.
(16:51):
If you watched the documentary facing Nolan, it's really unfortunate
about Nolan Ryan. It was so reluctant. You notice Ventura
hesitates at first because there was you know, inter squad
beef going on, and the dugout vibe was if you
get hit, you're charging the picture. And Robin vatur is
like Nolan Ryan like he didn't want to do it.
(17:12):
And Ryan a big, strong man, strength Texans sort of guy.
Nolan Ryan just not that type of player. I don't
think he played with that sort of fury and fire.
He was just like a smooth player. He played sixteen
years in the big leagues career banning average two sixty seven,
lower than I thought, but a great player, good player.
Known for getting punched in the head by Nolan Ryan. Forever, forever.
(17:36):
That's the truth. So this is our version of no. Yeah,
F one goat. You know, you could be the greatest
guy in the world. You could have worked at, you know,
every charity event, you could have helped little children every
time he saw him. You could be great with old people.
But you, F one goat, you're forever that guy. And
if you don't know that, that example is it's like
(17:57):
an old joke where you know a guy, the guy
describes all these great things. You think there's someone out
there that doesn't know the F one goat reference. But
please explain. I think people get it. I mean explain no,
I mean you said it's a matter of fact. I
mean we know the joking reference that you know, you
can do a million things, F one goat, and you're
(18:19):
the goat efforts for the rest of your life. That's
what you're known for. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Richie talked about the baseball example with Robin Ventura. How
about a guy in the NBA who gets posterized and
that's all they're pretty much remembered for, Like he wasn't
a big star in the league, But think of Chris Studley.
He played in almost nine hundred games, but that's doubt.
What's the one game you remember?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
The one games for me? Shack? Yeah, throwing them, Yeah,
wrapping his legs around them and then tossing them. And
then Dudley be like, he gives it like labor.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
It's happened in nineteen ninety nine. He pushed him to
the ground.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Okay, that's such a good one man. Yeah, had a
stellar career, right, think about it. You make it to
the NBA and Dudley throws the ball out him. It's
an accomplishment in his cell though. Right, you're one of
the few. You're one of the one percent less than
that that make it your childhood dream comes true. You're
the pride of your family, the pride of your hometown,
the pride of your alma mater. You make it to
the NBA, and you have a great career, and you're
(19:13):
a New York nick and you play at the Garden
and everything. Your last name's Dudley. That kind of sucks,
but you're still up there with the big boys. Shack
posterizes you, wraps his legs around you, and tosses you
into the stands like a little baby boy. And that's
forever what you're remembered by your forever highlight is on
the receiving end of being punk. That's the worst. That's
(19:35):
gotta sting. And by the way, we say that respectfully. Yeah,
you know we're fans, so yeah, you did it, you
made it. But unfortunately, like these moments define you and
it's not our fault, you know, blame pop culture. I
don't know why people hang on to this stuff. If
you want to chime in with your example eight seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox, shout out to our pal
Jay stew from the Gottlieb Show. Him and I were
(19:57):
the guy. We were talking about this in the lobby
and he came up with a great example. And it's
one of Kavino's childhood heroes. This guy was like the
king of children's programming. Made you laugh for decades. But
you touch yourself in a movie theater one time, Pee
wee Herman was the best thing. I mean, if he
(20:22):
was gonna do that, where was the appropriate place to
do it? Remember this is pre porn hub. Oh, so
you had it at your fingertips. So you're saying, like,
pee we really went he went the right path. I'm
not saying he was right in doing that I'm saying
that he's not the only guy that did it. He
was just the only guy that did it that worked
in children's programming that was winning Emmy awards. He got
(20:42):
but heard any jokes lately. But the late great pee
Wee Herman is a great example of like decades of
comedy and humor. But and you know what happens. It
often gets misconstrued. These these moments turned into a bad
game of telephone and people always assume that he did
something now else, like something far worse than that, and
(21:02):
like go, oh, yeah, I mean you shouldn't be proud
of it, but yeah, you know, by today's standards, today's
standard exactly. Yeah, and everyone's on a only fans, I
think pee Wee's okay. All right, Hey, your feedback, your

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Weren't you the guy that ate bootyos booty ohs food

yeah right. What's funny is that Junkyard Dog was so
far ahead of the trend. You know what his theme
song was grab them cakes.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
He was.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
He was twenty years ahead of everyone about but cheeks.
So shout out to Junkyard Dog. If he's stole around,
all right, he's not all right? Recipe Junkyard Dog your examples.
Let's go to your phone calls and feedback. Covin on
Rich Monday, we're talking about Nico Harrison and listen, is
he forever going to be the guy that's known as
(24:21):
the dude that traded Luca? I think he gave everybody
a little more ammunition at that press conference when he
said he sort of underestimated it. Yeah, if you missed
it earlier, quickly take a listen to Nico Harrison talking
about trading Luca and what it meant to the fans.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I didn't know that Luca was important to the to
the fan base. What I didn't quite know it to
what level. But really the way we looked at it is,
you know, if you're putting on the if you're putting
a team on the floor, that's Kyrie, Clay pj Anthony
Davis and Lively. We filled that's a championship caliber team
(24:57):
and we would have been winning at a high level,
and that would have quieted some of the outrage the fans.
So unfortunately we weren't able to do that, so it
just continued to, you know what, go on and on.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
How could he have not known? I mean I feel
that way, how could he have not known? But even
if he continues to have a stellar career as a GM,
we're saying he's always going to be remembered for that.
He has a bad reputation now for this one move,
and it's a huge move. So any other examples of
career defining moments, I mean, it happens in life. What up,
(25:30):
Dan Byer?
Speaker 8 (25:30):
So I just want to piggyback for my own sake
within the show. I just tweeted out the clip that
you played with Nico and saying you couldn't say injuries
in the whole deal, But when you have three of
those five guys that you mentioned, the injury prone guys,
what I mean you can't use injuries as an excuse.
(25:52):
So I know you're going in a different direction and
trying to find the one off thing. But a Nico's
case here, again solely for my social media bubblistic, but
it is it's like in that way, I just don't
buy his argument.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And Dan, it doesn't have to be something necessarily super
negative like the move he made here in the backlash
he's getting. Like just in one's life, sometimes your parents
hold on to the weirdest things and they always remember
your one friend or ex girlfriend by that one weird
thing they did, and they never let it go or
drop it or rich. You and I we've done one
hundred and twenty years of radio together and people still
(26:27):
refer to us as the guys that did the Guacoff competition,
or like, hey, is the dude Bros. Because we used
to say dude bro all out in our twenties, right,
Some people still say that, And sometimes it's hard to
escape those things. You know, Nikole Harrison will never escape
the Luca thing. He'll never escape it. Other examples phones
are lid. So Danny want to start at the top,
we'll make our way down. We'll start with Eric and Dayton. Eric,
(26:48):
you're on the show. What's up?
Speaker 11 (26:53):
Awesome show? Thank you, I said fire Mike Woodson Indiana
die Hard guess what by filicious dollond Boom, but also
being from Indiana, Diehard Icogo Cubs fan. You don't know
where I'm going with this.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You owe me a swiggy that I've been trying.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
To win for months.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Steve Bartman Dusty Baker two thousand and three, Mark Pryor's
second year in the league, first time plowing and is
playing and there thrown in the playoffs. Dude gets him
to a situation where it blows up and you don't
take him out. He blows the game. It was game six, Dusty.
It didn't Bartman didn't do anything. We could have won
that game. We had an inning and a half left,
(27:31):
and then you go on, you lose the next game.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, people forget Bartman was like one little layer of
so many things that went wrong in that game and
for that series. So yeah, Bartman's a great example. Mark
in Syracuse, what's up, Mark, You're on?
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Hey, guys, great show.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Thanks you.
Speaker 12 (27:51):
Just as you guys were talking, I was saying two kaints,
the Soul, the one league Nico, and then there's the
other one that has no fault of your own. So
I hope I got the guy's name right, Rays. I
believe that's the guy. Pete Rose with.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
The All Star Game, Oh with the interview that was uh.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
Oh no Rose ran him over?
Speaker 13 (28:16):
Oh yeah, oh wait, yeah, oh, Ray Fossis, And at
first I think he was talking about when Jim Gray
kept bringing up the fact that it was his first
time there and the allegations.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Remember when they brought him back and he kept having
that awkward interview moment.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
I didn't know what you were talking about. Yeah, Ray
FOSSi was an all star catcher and he was pummeled.
Yeah it later became an Oakland age broadcaster and yeah,
forever people think of him as the guy that Pete
Rose bulldozed.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
You know, this is you. He made me think of
something though, when you said, Jim Gray, it made me
realize there's a whole category of this that we're forgetting.
And it's news people that say one flub and they
could be the the NBC like Chicago guy for twenty
five years. They could be the lead anchor, you know,
for a major city for their whole life. One missed,
Like I think of the guy out here forever, the
(29:01):
guy out here there was an earthquake in LA who's
like the like handsome black dude broadcaster that gets under
the table during an earthquake and he puts his finger
up in the air.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Shopbled Chris, is it? Chris Shoble.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, that guy. I'll always every time I see I'm like, oh,
the earthquake guy. There's people that say one flub on
the news and that's their defining moment, defining moment. Unfortunately,
it's not fair by the way. It's just what it is.
And like our last caller said, sometimes you bring it
upon yourself, other times you don't. It just sticks with
you for whatever reason. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
(29:35):
Dwayne more examples done in Texas. What's up, Dane?
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 12 (29:41):
I bought my tickets for Vegas. So nice there in June.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
They'll be nice.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
If I say the name craig Elo, what do.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You think of craig Elo? No, tell us what.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Jordan's shot over him to win the uh oh, to
win the game?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah? See if that that completely sucks. If that's it,
that was the game five dB. If that is what
you're defined.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Famous video where you're seeing it from behind and on
the shop, Yeah that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, you don't see you don't want to be defined
by that. But is there in a way it's kind
of cool. I don't know in that case, you know
what I want to let's skip to six or second
because I love Greg's example in West Harford. Greg, you're
on the show.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Yeah, I'm just gonna say his name, Mark Sanchez.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
What do you think of Mark Sanchez? I mean, geez,
I mean the guy had a career where he took
the Jets further than any other quarterback in the last
twenty five years. Mark Sanchez is a great guy, insightful.
How do you erase these moments? Then when it's unfair,
like that's unfair, right, that's an unfair one. Lean into it,
maybe like I'm blood fumble guy. I don't know, Like
you gotta reinvent yourself, you know, in along the lines
(30:51):
of Nico Harrison, on a much smaller level, our buddy
Steve Phillips never outran that. Mo Vaughn sort of moved.
I feel like that haunted him back in the day.
I remember a lot of people being mad about that.
It's always the missteps that people hold on to. You
could do a million great things, it's the missteps that
people remember. So just have to wearwithal to think ahead.
Sometimes someone sleeps with one person they shouldn't sleep with,
(31:13):
and that's a reputation forever. Yeah, it's unfortunate what you
got Ryan.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Tom Chambers ducking over Mark Jackson. You don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I do. I do you know what I was while
you was thinking that I had just I was thinking NFL,
and for some reason I realized Cam Newton such a
you know, a boisterous fun personality in sports now you know,
really thinks high of himself, thinks he's greater than everyone.
People all picture Cam Newton not going for that fumble
in the Super Bowl, letting that loose ball just sort
of linger around him. So to me, you say, Cam Newton,
(31:48):
I think that lazy play. So some things are more
forgivable than others. This Nico Harrison still fresh and this
wound is still oo right, So I stand it. But
a lot of these we hold on to and it's
really not fair. Let's let's say how to Ronnie. Then
we'll go to dB for an update. Ronie and Vegas.
He real quick, Ronnie, what's up?
Speaker 14 (32:09):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Guys?
Speaker 10 (32:09):
By you guys going?
Speaker 14 (32:10):
Thanks taking my call?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (32:12):
I want to say Chris Webbers, dude, timeout, timeout, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, I mean, perfect example of what we're talking about.
Chris Webber, great, amazing college career, great NBA career guy
calls the time out one, there's no timeouts. That's his
that's the lead. Those lasting images, lasting memories, and you
gotta figure out here's the key, figure out a way
to erase it. Please, just gotta be away, all right,
damn byer what's doing buddy?
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Nico Harrison still has a job as a GM. That's
not the case with Landry Fields, fired today by the
Atlanta Hawks as their general manager.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Just one of a few moves in the NBA.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Duke freshman forward Cooper Flag announced his intentions to enter
the twenty twenty five NBA Draft. He was the consensus
player of the Year in college hoops in his only
season in college basketball, led Duke to a Final four,
a unanimous first team All American, and Cooper Flag's likely
to be the first overall pick in the draft come
late June. Box guard Damian Lillard's been upgraded to questionable
(33:10):
to play in tomorrow's Game two against the Pacers. Game
twos tonight in the NBA Playoffs, Pistons at the Knicks
seven thirty Eastern time, Clippers at the Nuggets ten o'clock Eastern.
Walker Bueller won seven and struck out nine, got his
third win of the season as the Red Sox won
over the White Sox for to two. On this Patriot's Day,
bunch of news from the NFL, the Eagles and center
Cam Jergens agree to terms on a four year extension
(33:31):
worth sixty eight million dollars. Jets picked up the fiftyear
options on all of their twenty twenty two first round picks,
that Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson and rich
Mike Silver of the Athletics. As the forty nine ers
are far apart on extension talks with tight end George Kittle,
and there have been no substantial, substantial talks that is
on a new deal for linebacker Fred Warner. As for Brock,
(33:53):
perties deal going to be north of fifty million dollars
as the size continued.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Now that see, everything you said there makes it hurts
my feelings. And it's over three because you just told
me they're far apart on Kittle and Warner and Brock's
gonna make over fifty Good night, it's over. My Niners
lost their window. If they can't figure this out, window closed.
And I hate to say that. Oh, Fred Warner and
(34:17):
George Kittle is so much more important than brock Party
in this bigger situation. Sorry, Rich, that's right, Sorry about
that man. Hey, thanks Dan Byer, Sorry, thanks dB dan Byer.

a variable economy. Balancing you're spending while maintaining the necessary
team could be tricky. It's time to try something new.

You say or do one thing, and everything else you
do in your career sort of takes backseat to that
one moment.
Speaker 8 (36:27):
Yeah, guys, I wanted to I didn't give you my nominee,
and I thought that the caller hit it on the head.
There's some stuff that happened to you or some stuff
that you do.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
PJ.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Carlstima was a great college basketball.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Coach at Seaton Hall, led him to a national championship
game called Games. For years, he'll always be known as
the guy that was choked by Latrell's pretty well like
the coach that was choked by the to no fault
of his own except probably yelled at him too much.
But whenever you end up bringing up that name, that
m fortunate side. Yeah, it's when it's when you're on
the receiving end of it.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Yeah, I wanted to tell you that.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
I also want to tell you Express employment professionals can
provide contract workers to flex up for peak seasons. Well
that I having to raise your core workforce, headcomp manager,
workforce differently. Is it expresspros dot com today? That's expresspros
dot com, Thank you dB.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah. Nico Harrison brought this upon himself for being naive
to not even know that it would be this impactful
right by his own admission, let me And then there's
people like like like Dan Byern brought up where like
Michael Moore the boxer, he's not known for being a
heavyweight champion. He's known for being knocked out by George Foreman,
the oldest heavyweight champion in the world. But he brought
(37:34):
up a coach. I was gonna say, tell me what
you picture when I say Van Gundy. He's holding onto
the leg of who was Morning's leg, his hair flopping around,
says comb over. So sometimes it's those moments were like man,
but on a lighter level too. Like I said, remember
your parents hold onto weird things one time. You know
my example, One time when I was a kid, I
(37:55):
told my mom I liked the Rick Astley song one time.
Never go to k and my mom's never going to
stop bringing it up. Oh, Stephen love athlete. Remember you
used to love Rick Astley? Like mom, I was eleven,
he said it one time and she still thinks that.
So sometimes you just can't outrun this weird reputation because
(38:17):
we hang on to the weirdest things. I think it
exposes a problem with society too. It's like, man, we
really hold onto the band stuff. Huh, rapid Fire, cross Fire.
Let's go to Damon Bakersfield. You start and we'll go quick.
What's up? Man?
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Hey just want to remind you, guys, and it also
works the opposite way. And Rich you should know about
an icon we got for the Mets by the name
of Indy Chavez played thirteen years. They didn't even get
a thousand hits. I think he hit thirty home runs,
but he can't buy a beer in New York walking
down the street.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, because you're right, it could work the opposite. You
do something good and that's your reputation. A la Odell
Beckham Junior. The guy's a good wide receiver, but that
moment catch early in his career that might be one
of the greatest catches you've ever seen in your life,
sort of paved the way I think for the guys
next ten years. So if you're getting to the root
(39:07):
of what we're discussing is defining moments, and Nico Harrison
definitely has his. He can't outrun this reputation he has now.
Kelvin and Indy, what's up got? You?
Speaker 15 (39:16):
Guys are the best? Y'ad the most awesome And I
listened to y'all all the time coming home from work.
I just want to mention two a couple of people
and what you see, what y'all think about it. I
thought about what about if he was at Cleveland Browns
and Jameis Wiston. I don't know if they gonna ever
get over that, all that money, all that investing in him,
and then guy wasn't clear and he hadn't They don't
(39:37):
know if he even rehabbed and got help for that.
And then also, I'm from in Ananapolis, so I'm from Lamar.
I remember Lamar Oldham was he's in high school and
my son now grew up with Lamar Oldham. And they
called me on Draft night and said, Dad, I can't
believe Portland gave him all that money. They don't know
what we know.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
You know what I thought you're gonna say, crab leggs
when you brought up Jameis Winston, because I think that's
a great way to maybe move past it when you
really own it, and he's owned it recently, you know,
maybe then you move forward. But he was talking about
Deshaul Watson's I think he was I think about Watson.
But he said that's what I was expecting to hear,
crab legs.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Some people could point to Jameis Winston though, and say
laptop computer or crab legs, right.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Right, and didn't he recently just dance around wearing a
crab crab outfit. Yeah, do you know you gotta make
you gotta when you include yourself in on the joke
or something. I think is officially over, So maybe that's
the best way to do it. Greg and Ohio, what's up? Man?
Actually that's Jeff and Colorado. We'll go to Jeff Hey, Jeff.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
Yo, Jeff in Colorado here. I'm a Jags fan, so
I can't remember the guy who got posterized by Sakuon
jumping backwards over him. But maybe maybe history will be
kind and forget him.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Yeah, you know, there's always uh, there's only someone on
the receiving end of of a great play, unfortunately. But
that's that's sports, right.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
And by the way, I'm sorry, I think the laptop
that was Cam Newton, right, So either you remember the
fumble or the laptop.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Now I want you Fox Sports Radio Nation to start
thinking about the times you were sort of bullied into
something because the big winner of the weekend, John Cena
and the Timberwolves. Sorry Danny g but John Cena was
bullied into doing something he didn't necessarily want to do.
But I think it's a solid But I think I
want to angle it this way. Sometimes you could be
(41:25):
bullied into doing something and it's a good thing. That's
that's really it. Like I do have an example of that.
I think sometimes like enough people like bust your chops
and your buddies bother you enough where you're like, oh,
thank god, I did that, like you're waiting for Like
you know, I think sometimes people that are hesitant to
do things need a little bullying. And there's a great
(41:47):
John Cena story we'll get to. But you want to
wrap this with Josh. Josh, you got twenty seconds. Let's
go make a snappy buddy. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 14 (41:54):
Hey guys, hopefully you had a good weekend.
Speaker 15 (41:57):
This guy me in my heart goes out to him
because I do he could really go anywhere in Buffalo
and really be admired.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
But Scott Norwood, Yeah, that's a big, great example. Poor
guy missed the field goal in the super Bowl. That's
your legacy. All right, Hey, we'll talk a little John Cena,
we'll talk some NBA playoffs and of course covering for
a big moment that's something else we'll do. And we'll
play a game. I don't want to overpromise, but a
lot of fun. I'm coming up right here.
