who's your favorite black athlete when you were a kid?

(00:27):
Dave Winfield, Danny Jay, Superstud, Bo Jackson. I was Sam
probably former IOWA linebacker, Abdul Hodge, Damn Bayer, Jim.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Jackson, Croma, Ohio State and NBA star.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
I think you know what though, there was only a
few Rich.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Before we get your answer the big reveal here, only
a few like that were universally appreciated. Like, regardless of
where you grew up, you could still rock that poster
and it would be for me. Three names Mike Tyson, Ken, Griffy,
junr ah Man, maybe Bo Jackson too.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, that famous bow poster.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Hen and Michael Jordan's four Magic Johnson.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Because no matter where you were, you still love those guys.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
You have their poster, you wore their T shirts.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Here, I am asking you guys, and I can't decide
between my two favorite black athletes in the eighties.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Will decide for you, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Because as a kid from New York and a Mets fan,
every kid imitated the Darryl Strawberry batting stance. But I
wore number sixteen and tried to do the high Lake
kick like I was Dwight Gooden, So I don't know
Darryl bro Darryl Yeah, for real, greatest swing in baseball
history almost maybe arguably Yeah, And Dwight Gooden, but again

(01:53):
he was just ah, he was so great, He's so
full of potential.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
I love dwy Goodin too, But is.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
There anyone in that uh conversation with Griffy Junior and Darryl?
Is there a third where you liked the sweetest swing ever?
Because I thig of those two immediately, Ken, Griffy Junior
and Darryl.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
We always used to do the Carney Lanceford because of
the way he would shake his bag.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
But that was awkward.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It was cool though, like, yeah, he used to practice
with the Shakewight, that guy that's the shakeweight batting stance
and Carney Lance Is there a third? As far as sweet,
like beautiful, sweet swing, like beautiful site.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
It doesn't need to be a black guy. I'm just
asking in general.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh, man, Mark maguire had a sweet swing. It was
a little it was compact.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'm saying when Darryl he had a nice one handed
follow yeah, yeah, Darryl, I'm saying he had that the
leg kick and when he just extended those arms. Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Eric Davis had a cool batting stance.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
And I'm black Aftrea Month. I brought him up on
our Patreon show today, our podcast. I was like, he
was one of my favorite athletes growing up. Eric Davis
had one of the best scuffles of all time, him
and Ray Knight at third base. Do you remember he
bumped into Ray Knight on the Mets during like a
double steal and then when ray Knight started fighting, like
he was the fighting irishman. I think Eric Davis has

(03:06):
like a very odd stat like he could have been
one of the greats of all time right injuries got
the best of him, but he still put up great numbers.
I love that dude well, and he was great in
RBI Baseball way back on Wednesday. But he has like
some weird stat where if you combine two seasons together.
He has the greatest, like one hundred game span of
anybody in baseball history or something ridiculous like that, because

(03:28):
his numbers were so good from one season to the next. Well,
if we're going to shout out some of the coolest
black dudes and sports in the eighties and nineties, well
I said, I did say Dave Winfield rich because I
think it's understated and underrated that he was drafted in
three major sports, won a World Series later in his career,
had a long, stellar career, and he was always a

(03:50):
very classy.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Gentlemanlike superstar in the MLB spot.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Can you post on our Instagram story the actual Dave
Winfield classy poster?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
It's the best.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
He was a poster of him in a suit if
I remember correct, and it said class class.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
It was like him and James Lennon junior class.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I was gonna say, if we're gonna give shout outs
on Black History Month, let me give you one more,
because he might have been the most intimidating guy on
the pitcher's mound. Danny g Up in the Bay Area
in the eighties and nineties. Dave Stewart, Yeah, with a
hat down low.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
But he talked like this. He talked like the Joe
Michael Jackson.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
The joke was always he and Ricky Henderson should have
you know, yeah first voices.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I think I say Bob Gibson at first because intimidation factor.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
That's old school.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
But you know what's speaking of what shout out to
our buddy Rob Parker MLB bro. I know, uh, always
trying to encourage young black kids to play baseball.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
The numbers, unfortunately, as we saw over the years.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
They go down and down because the path in the NBA,
in the NFL may seem.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
More appealing to Kyler Murray theory.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
We saw it recently, but we grew up with a
lot of legends from Rock Rains to.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Willie Randolph bro as an your kid loved him.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Happy Black History Month and yeah again mlbbro dot com
Rob Parker doing his thing base Did that even confuse
you guys on the West coast? Danny g and Iowa
Sam and Bayer When Rick when Tim Rains his baseball
card said Rock Rains?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Anyone else? Like?

Speaker 4 (05:22):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Just the different guys is an error card which.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Ninety one yes.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Rich study had a twin like Ozzie Brothers.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Like an error?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Could this be an error?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Card doing here rock rains? So shout out again Black
History Month. Not only is it Black History Month, Rich,
Today is a very special day, you said, it's an
anniversary of what some consider I definitely consider the greatest
sports quote of all time, and there's a lot of
them today today I consider myself so the luckiest man

(05:58):
man on the face of the earth. Not only the quote,
could you know, I think one of the best celebrations.
It's up there with jesse E Rosco thrown his glove
in the air.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's up there.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's up there with Joe Carter with It's up there
with Kirk Gibson. It's up there with John Madden being
carried off the field. It's up there with Joe Namas.
Not only yeah, not only great quote, Clarks, that's the catch.
And that anniversary is when Pete Webber one in twenty twelve,

(06:29):
thirteen years ago.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Today.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
That's right, I did it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
We just happened to play this on the show yesterday.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know why, because we love it as always, not
just on the anniversary.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, you said, Mohammad Ali, and I said, yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
It's one of the great.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
It's right up there with I float like a butterfly,
thing like a bee. It's right up there with some
of the greatest sports quotes of all time.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
I'm not being facetious. I really mean that.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
I know it sounds silly because it's Pete Weber, and look,
but he comes from a lineage of great bowlers.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
His dad was a legend, Dick Weber. We saw him
growing up.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Pete Webber, his son was a stellar Hall of Fame bowler,
and he had an amazing moment. And I swear to you, Richie,
might be a false memory, but I feel like I
watched that live when it happens.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I really do.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Could you know?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And I unlocked a memory earlier today. We always talked
about Saturday mornings as a kid were cartoons and then
Save by the Bell, wrestling, American Gladiators. We all watch
the same stuff growing up, and for some reason, if
you were stuck at Grandma's house, I remember watching bowling
on TV. Bowling was on every weekend. It was Man,
the Legends, Parker Bone, the Third Norm Duke.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know my theory? Could you know?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
If you're a grown man or woman, I'll give women
a little more leeway because I'm a nice fellow. But
if you're a grown man and we're going bowling, if
you don't break a hundred, you should have to walk home.
That is a rule here on Fox Sports Radio. In fact,
you're a grown man listening and you can't bring a hundred,
I'm not sure I want you listening.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
I'll do without you. I mean, I don't know if
all right. All right? To be fair, you could listen,
but I don't know if I want to be your friend.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
One hundred means you just need really one to two
March is the four.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
Year old son could bowl one hundred? Okay? Do you
a lot of people go a long time between bowling.
Do you get like a game or two to warm up?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I was saying, I went bowling for the first time
in like a decade, and I bowled the one sixty something,
Like you have the ability.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
To just am I believe in you.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
I think I went bowling with Ryan Berschinger, who's in
the back, on his birthday over the summer, and I
think my first game was like an eighty and then
I just excelled from there.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
It was like exponential.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well he redeemed yourself because.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
Like I hadn't bowled in a long time since, I
think moving from Iowa out here almost like.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Sometimes you're just hob knobb and eating French fries, not
really caring.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
But as long as you zoned in, I love to
take it very seriously.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I would.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Don't they just stand up? Ten corn?

Speaker 6 (08:56):
It's corn, right, Yeah, we're we're actually throwing a bowling
and there's a bunch of pigs at the other end.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
They all fall over, the little kid sets up, depends
where it.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, so today really is the anniversary of Pete Weber
and his quote. But what's even funnier, it's one of
our favorites we have referenced a lot here on this show.
I just think it's so funny because he didn't mean.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
To say it.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's a sports version of that's one small step. What
is it's fun one giant work it out? One small
step for man, one giant leap takes we take steps
one and one. That's not what he meant to say,

(09:42):
and that's not what Pete Weber meant to say either.
He meant to say something like one small step for
a man, well, you know, giant leap for all of man.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Mankind iconic way.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
He said, exactly, and that's exactly what happened in the
Pete Weber story.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
That's not what he meant to say the title together.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Did you guys ever watch at Steve carell show Space
Force on Netflix?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Heard about it?

Speaker 1 (10:04):
The girl was the first woman on the moon and
she was African American and she had this whole speech
ready to go, and she in a moment of pressure,
she freaked down.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
She goes, it's.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Great to be black on the moon, and you know what,
she was right. So that's a dumb show that did
not get redded. Did you say the official quote? What
is the official The official quote that he wanted to
say was who do you think you were rooting against me?
I am the man in this tournament. Yeah, take a
listen to Pete Webber, who was on barstool giving the explanation.

Speaker 7 (10:37):
Well, actually it just was kind of a missay because
I was sitting there and I was I was thinking
what I was going to say to the kid that
was giving me trouble during the match, and it was
like I wanted to say, who do.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
You think you are with me in my house?

Speaker 7 (10:53):
Yeah? You know, and it just.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Came out who do you think you are?

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I am, And that's the best part of the story
that I think a lot of people know that was
directed to a twelve year old kid.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh yeah, twelve, sixteen fourteen.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
I'm not sure that.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Makes it even better.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Like, so, what was the kid was like heckling you
during the game.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Well, he rooted it out loud a couple of times
against me the second frame when I left the tent
and he just loud enough, yes, you know that when
I left the tent. Pin And you know, I don't
care if you root, but don't root loud enough for
me to hear. Yeah, you know, because that's just takes
away from everything. But it pisses me off. So you know,

(11:34):
when I get mad, I let people know about it.
And I've never held back.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
You check ass.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
After hearing the explanation, I'm going to put his fire
and level of competition right up there with Michael Jordan. Yeah,
you know, like I feel like he's right up there
as far as passion levels go. Oh and he took
that personally, Yeah, I mean clearly he took that personally.
No one loves spite more than me. And the fact
that it was a gets a child child.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
He was that fired up because his.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Head little kids is so much great. That's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I also loved you could share, but not loud enough
so we can hear.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
What's the point?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Then, by the way, props to uh, you know Big
Cat at barstool fro finally get to the bottom of that,
because I'm surprised no one asked him.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
We would have bumped into him. That would have been
the first thing I asked.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm not trying to take anyway from Big Cat, but
I've heard that explanation before. It's a legendary story, Pete
Weber legend on this day, and we still quote it.
I mean, honestly, is there another one that's up there?
Like you know, it's a really popular quote that we
throw out there a lot that doesn't get a lot
of credit, but it still lives in meme for him.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
When bar Scott said.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Can't wait, Yeah, that's a that's a pretty.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Popular one on social media, it was how.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
It was how and when he said it, yeah, it's
really just two words, and his head was stamen.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
There's also a great story about the two thousand and
eight NBA Finals because Kevin Garnett, famous screaming.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Anything is possible.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Supposedly with Adidas, it was supposed to be impossible as nothing.
And just in the moment he let that rip. Yeah,
so that was a wrong quote.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Wrong quote, but it all worked out.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Never when Kirk Cousins was all fired up, you like that,
you like that. There's always gonna be these quotes that
in the moment, but some are great. And I really
think that one's a great one because your loses it
as as the kiddy say, my daughter has an expression.
This little kid was in his walls, like he was
in his head. He was so he was so mad

(13:37):
that he flipped.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yes, right, I did it.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Like that passion level is absurd, It's absurd.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's also the exact opposite of Travolta, because Travolta's was
building up to it, and these are spur of the moment,
like you have to hit the spot where Travolta is.
Adel dea Zeine just kept on being dragged out because
he knew what the end was going to be, but
he knew that he didn't have it. These are spontaneously talented,

(14:07):
wickedly talent, as he's saying.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
As he's saying, wickedly talented. You could tell that he's like,
the gears are turning. I don't know what this a
Dina Menzel, but.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Hell does he Let's give it up wickedly talented. That's
the weakest misquote. Well, there's Adele who is still, you know,
coming in the music scene right in Byer.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's up there in a Covenower's top ten favorite quote
of all time as well, because when you grew up
in the eighties, especially John Travolta was the epitome of cool.
Right if you watched Greece or any of his movies,
that dude was.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Cool as hell. To see him quiver with that lack
of confidence in that moment because he forgot this woman's
name to me. It's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
By the way, if you don't know he wanted to
introduce the wickedly talented from the play Wicked a Dina Monzel,
but he I don't know if the prompter went out
or what Dina Monzel?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Did he not rehearse? Did he not look at it
once before?

Speaker 6 (15:10):
It was so like it was so such a graceful
sounding to a graceful quiver in his voice.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Spot We've talked about that so much isn't there a
second Travolta club. I feel like yes, yeah, he said no, no, no,
he just said when he introduced Lemes, like.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Fred arm.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
There's there's another sports drop we play Roger Goodell. It's
not like this organ duck was a Heisman Trophy winner
or anything.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
Marcus Marioto.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
So yeah, he combined mister Roboto with Mario exactly what
he did.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Kennedy Ted Kennedy, call Sammy Sosa, Sammy Susser and like.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Mike maguire, both wrong if I'm not mistaken, Mike McGuire
and Sammy Seusser. Sammy Sosa, by the way, who's back
in the Chicago dugout?

Speaker 4 (16:09):
So spring training? Alive and well? But long live.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Pete Weber and his legendary quote. I mean, that's a
T shirt that I gotta get. Who do you think
you are?

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I am?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
And I feel that way so many times to out
a day. Yeah, no, I'm gonna buy that. You don't
want to buy that shirt, don't you?

Speaker 4 (16:26):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (16:27):
I well, I don't want to make a free plug
for the guy. But that super seventy sports guy, he's
got a shirt of that.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Oh, I gotta get it.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I got It's like the two thumbs pointing at him.
It's the anniversary. We celebrate it here on the Cavino
and Rich Show. Well, hey, I don't know way we
could go from there, because that's the hot story of
the day I did.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Guys, if you'll just allow me twenty two seconds, I
have the whole Travolta leading up to us, Sam, unless
you have it, I've got it. I've got it here.
This is the twenty two seconds leading up to it.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Buck go up.

Speaker 8 (17:01):
There will always be a special place in my heart
for the movie musical and for the songs that create
their most memorable moments. Here to performed the Oscar nominated,
gorgeously empowering song let It Go from the Oscar winning
animated movie Frozen. Please Welcome the Wickedly Talented One, and
only does with.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
The confidence in wickedly talented. It's like he's ready to
say the name perfect. Yeah, he does not even close.
I love it.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's kind of how you feel when you forget people's
name though in real life, though, right, like, Hey, great
to meet you.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
I feel like that's what.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's like walking on a high beam.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Like he knows he's losing his balance and everything is
in rhythm, sounds confident, then he just completely falls off.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
You know that is that's the greatest miss quote of
all time, Pete Webber and the weakest misquote of all time,
the forgetful John Volta.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, dam x P d W, Pete Webber, Pete Webber,
Bro Covino and Rich live from the tyraq dot Com studio.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
That is us, Steve Cavino. That's my name, Dicky doodle
Boy Davis. That's his name, Rich Davis.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Danny G. Danny Grottio is his name, or at least
that's what people think because on social media it's Danny
G Radio. So there's people that work here that I
think his name is Danny Grottio. But that's close enough
Danny G. Because he's Gangsta Iowa.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Samuel is on the Ones and Twes Dan Byer's got
your update in about ten minutes and Spotty Boy spot
getting ready for midweek major We do it every Wednesday,
the biggest stories and headlines and sports and pop culture.
But right now Matt Stafford in the news, nowty boy,
that's number one in the headlines right now, Matthew Stafford,

(19:01):
let's talk about the quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams.
I think this is this is like such a simple solution,
and I hear so many people talking about where could
he end up? There's options and how much money is
he going to take? And where could he end up?
Here's where I want to start. It's clear that Sean
mcvays a fan. They want a super Bowl together. McVeigh

(19:25):
said this about a month ago.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Take a listen. I don't want to have that go
on again. That's not so. I don't think that's good
for anybody.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I think sooner than later, being able to get that clarity, understand, clear,
open and honest communication.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
I think there's a lot of love coming from our part.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I think there's a lot of appreciation coming from his
part as well, and a lot sooner than later.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
It is an ideal scenario.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, so Stafford and the Rams show in a mutual interest.
McVeigh they want a super Bowl together. There's a legacy
there that makes sense. The question there is how much
money do the Rams want to give a thirty seven
year old quarterback who's you know, his skills are not
gonna be on the up and up, and you could

(20:08):
say pass this prime past this prime. It doesn't mean
he's out of wins or he's out of gas, but
he's passed his prime. He's on the down side of
a stellar career, Diana, and on the upside. Dianna Rassini,
friend of the show, love her. You saw her at
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
She had Chase Daniels on her podcast and they were
talking about the type of money maybe Stafford could get
if he stays with the Rams.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
Matthew goes out, sees that there's no market for him
at the price he wants, and the Rams say, all right,
we'll bring it back for forty million.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Don't you think that's a fairty?

Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, what, Diana, You're too much front office speak.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Forty million is a travesty. Travesty if he gets.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Forty million, I would, at this point, to be completely
honest with you, from a player's perspective, I would retire.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Get that.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I mean, I heard Jonas Knox right here on Fox
Sports Radio talking about he's made three hundred and sixty million.
I wrote, look, that's right there. I wrote that down
three sixty four. That's not enough money. That's not a
good enough little nest egg right now for him to
sit on while he makes another forty to play in
the city.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
He's already ends. I mean a powerball jackplot, seriously, but
the story today is and I don't like it because
it seems that he's still buddy chummy whit McVeigh. You know,
we tied things back to relationships.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's like you and your girlfriend think you're good, but
then you see her on social media and she's bowling
with some other guy. You know, she's at me, She's
she's at the club with someone else. You're like, wait
a second, I thought we were good. Well, here's a
developing we are understanding a developing story. According to Jordan Schultz,

(21:55):
Raiders minority owner Tom Brady recently hosted Rams quarterback Matthew
Stafford at his home in Montana, and they've been spending
time together skiing.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
And just chilling.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Brady has been actively trying to convince Stafford to join
the Raiders. And here's why I think that is perfect
hold on, you know the other backstory though. Ian Rappaport
of NFL Media reacted to the report by explaining that
Brady and Stafford ran into each other at the ski

(22:30):
resort in Montana, that it was an unplanned meeting, not
some sort of extensive or in depth meeting that Brady
was hosting that he wasn't recruiting Stafford. And it's like,
get out of here. That is bs. That's some BS.
Your girlfriend would tell you when you saw the social
media post of her and the dude at the club.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
They just bumped into each other.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
I total cool incident, Franz, and I went.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
My friend, well look at it this way, cof who
knows more about what an aging quarterback has left in
the tank than a guy that won when he went
to the bucks?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Post forty TV twelve, So.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Not everybody has the conditioning yeap of an older TV twelve?

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Can I give you the not everybody's Tom bra got
give you the quick.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Bullet points I wrote down why I think this makes
perfect sense.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
What do you mean perfect sense for him to be
a Raider?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yes, I think it would make more sense for him
to keep his ass where he is right now. Matthew
Stafford to the Raiders makes perfect sense. Dare I say
almost Kurt Headache perfect? I would say maybe, if not
where he is right now? If not with the Rams,
listen the raid is I live in Woodland Hills the

(23:48):
rich people neighborhood down the block that have a way
higher tax bracket. That's called Hidden Hills. Matthew Stafford has
an estate. He has a beautiful house. His wife has
her podcast studio. His daughters are involved in the community.
One of his kids goes to my daughter's dance studio.
They live in southern California. He's thirty seven, live in

(24:09):
the dad life. They have a beautiful home. He's a
super Bowl champion. He spent over a decade in Detroit.
No offensive trid to that. We got a big station there.

Speaker 9 (24:18):
Yeh.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
He's on the up and up.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
And the guy's thirty seven. He's gonna be on Quarterback
Season two on Netflix. He maybe got that taste of
the Hollywood bug. How quickly do you and I get
from Burbank Airport to Las Vegas, Nevada?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
In like twelve minutes it seems like it, right, Yeah,
there's no drink service up and down thirty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
You know that little Van Eys Airport right down the
block here, little private Jet Vegas might as well be
Orange County. Matthew Stafford could play for the Raiders one
to two years and it would almost be like playing
here in southern California, Tom Brady fresh start looking for

(25:04):
a face. Maybe you draft Shito or Sanders and he
learns behind Stafford. This makes so much sense to me,
Danny G because you were talking about maybe Sam Darnold, No,
Matthew Stafford, you might be able to compete.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
What's he gonna get from the Raiders? If he was
gonna get forty million from the.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Rams, I'm saying, even if it's the same money, then
why wouldn't move?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Why move it all?

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Because to m d of the Rams, like Cooper cup Go,
they're they're got poking a cool but the Rams might
be in more of a.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Rebuilding the building phase at this point.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
And and Matthew Stafford, and you think the Raiders are
like gonna win all of a sudden hold on though
I completely agree, Just want to make it clear I
agree with Rich if the Rams are out of the
question for whatever reason, like he just doesn't like the
direction they're going. He thinks his time's expired there, he
had a fight behind the scenes with somebody, he's being
mistreated whatever. Okay, So I get it, because it's such

(25:55):
an easy trip from Vegas to La Lifestyle. Reason his
family's here is a quick flight. I get it, But
why not just stay with the Rams? I haven't heard
that's what I think. That's the better I'm not saying
that's not option. I'm saying Matthew Stafford to the Raiders
just makes so much logistical sense for a veteran of
thirty seven years old. If he was twenty four and

(26:18):
he had another decade plus in the league, I'd say,
explore your options. But unless the the power of Brady
kicks in where he's so enamored to be skiing with
Tommy and they're sipping hakoko at the lodge, like to
be in partnership with such a such a winning sort

(26:41):
of culture that Brady's trying to create. I mean, Tom
Brady has a resumes Tom Brady. Maybe that has so
much pull on him that we don't even know. We
often use the word glamored. You know where we got
that from. Maybe he's so glamored by Tommy that it's
more of a reality than we think. We got glamored
from True Blood. Remember the show True Blood where the

(27:03):
vampires had such a power over mere humans, like you
look at them and they would glamor them. They said
glamored them, so maybe Tom is really glamoring this dude. Otherwise,
the best option from the outside looking in is to
stay in La where his family. Dude outside looking in, Yeah,
Rams clearly the easiest option, But I'm saying anything other

(27:25):
than the Vegas Raiders retirement almost seems like the best option.
But if you want to keep playing, do you think
he wants to go play for the Giants or move
across the country. I'm telling you at this stage of
the game because I'm living a similar life without the
hundreds of millions of dollars. He's got little kids, He's
at his forever home. He's in Hidden Hills, the nicest
neighborhood in the valley. And by the way, he came

(27:46):
here because he wanted his to live. Guess what, His
wife is happy right His kids are again in their
school system and everything going on. This is not thirty
seven years old. You got to pick up the fambam
as well as you call. You gotta pick up the.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Family and move.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Vegas is a half hour private flight away. It makes sense, Danny,
you are the Raiders fan.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Am I wrong?

Speaker 1 (28:13):
No?

Speaker 5 (28:13):
I mean the wild card in this is how quickly
if and if Pete Carroll can get the program turned
around in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
But in his past we've seen him do it at USC.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
Of course, we've seen him do it in Seattle for
dB Seahawks and in a twelve month calendar. This guy
can turn an entire program around. We've seen him do
it before. It still remains to be seen for LV.
But if you can at least get the Raiders moving
in the right track. And what would be I think
a selling point for Brady to Stafford is, Dude, you

(28:44):
get to throw to the best tight end in football.
All of a sudden, you got brock Bowers, you got
an underrated receiver, and Myers. We're going to add some
more pieces in the draft. Also, that would open up
things maybe to draft Gente, a cash cow running back
at number six, and then top of the second round,
maybe get a guy like Jackson Dart to sit and
learn behind a Stafford.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
And I'm sure there's some allure of being wooed by
Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I believe that, But Comina, what about he is Tom
Brady and this would be one of his first big gets.
But what about the idea also of this, there's some
big name free agent or wanting to be traded wide
receivers in the National Football League. So if you're telling
the football players of the NFL, oh, the Raiders, now

(29:29):
they got Pete Carroll. Tom Brady's overseeing it. Wow, Matthew Stafford,
we sold what brock Bauers did last year. I just
a lot lining up where the Raiders start to become
a desirable place for a free agent to go or
a receiver that wants to be traded on the move,
like a Deebo Samuel who's like, don't it seems like
he's done with the Niners. There's places. It's a tough division.

(29:50):
That's the only rub that means. You got to be
better than bow Nicks and Peyton Sean Payton. You got
to be better than the defending AFC champions. Here's what
I need to better than Harbon and I know are
Mark Anthony rich I need to know. I need to know,
I need to know to have a really full assessment
of how I feel about this. I agree the best

(30:11):
two options would be either to stay in la or
go to Vegas, which was a quick flight.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
He wouldn't have to change his lifestyle. He gets to
keep his own house, but.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I would need to know is he just chasing the
bag here or does he really believe that the Rams
are on the decline and the Raiders are on the income.
I'm just saying, if the Rams don't work out, you
have to have an option too. And I think this
is pretty sweet. You know what you said to me recently,
what we were in Vegas doing a Fight Night for
Fox Sports Radio, and you joked, like, yo, bro, would.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
It be cool to do like every Friday show here?

Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know why you said that, because it's so damn
easy to get to Las Vegas from southern California that
you and I regular dufes is flying southwest get there
in thirty five minutes as deep as the ploy. Well
think about that while we go to damn Buyer for
an update. Thank you for hanging with us, do fi.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Hey, perfect transition, you made it plural. I'll be included
in that group. The Jordan Schultz did snap back at
Ian Rappaport's report by saying, and I messed up the
read earlier on what Schultz's response was, but he said,
if you really think Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford just
happened to run into each other at a ski resort
in Montana, of all places, at the exact same time.

(31:21):
I've got a bridge to sell you. That's what Jordan
Schultz responded.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
That was a planned out meeting. No doubt.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Tom Brady and matt Stafford were hanging around buddy chummy
in Montana skiing and probably doing business. There's no doubt
doing business. Tom Brady was obviously spending hit. You think
Tom Brady just hangs with quarterbacks for no reason. No,
they didn't bump into each other by accident. He's trying
to see if he can get him to play for
the Raiders, period. He's the power and beauty of having

(31:57):
a Tom Brady as a partial owner. Have you ever
had that happen in your personal life hang out with
Tom Brady? No, that would be pretty sweet, that would
be cool.

Speaker 8 (32:06):
No, the.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Terrible coincidence that like, my ex is here, some girls here,
and you're like.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Honey, it was not planned because you're right that report
from Ian Rappaport and who's the who's the other one?
Who was Schultz arguing over whether whether or not it's
a it's a coincidence. No chance of Tom Brady and
Matthew Stafford being at the same resort in Montana.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's like, hey, you're here.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I'm here all this time.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
What a coincident? Dance rich rich people vacation in like
very similar spots.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
To hear about it.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
They all share their spots. It's like, oh, you want
to avoid the pleabes, go stay here. Oh, but that's
how these deals get done. Good to see you didn't.
Oh tell me didn't. And Cashman just happened to be
at some banquet together. And Cashman was like, oh man,
how about you to play for the Yankees? And A
Rod's like what, Like that's how things happened. Don't act

(33:05):
like business wasn't going down. You think they were just
high five and hitting the mountain. I think they were
just hitting some moguls like yeah it, what's up? I
think they were just riding down the Black Diamond together,
so holding hands. There was something to be said about
how the K twelve rich people do hang at the
same place as so.

Speaker 8 (33:22):
I.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
It's too much of a concidence. Way, no way, what,
no way, this was a meeting.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Don't be fooled. Speaking of a Rod. You brought up
a Rod and how he bumped into Brian Cashman back
in the day. Well, yeah, they were at some sort
of banquet. I think that's the backstory. And it was
just like you know, in passing, like yeah, you know,
would you play third base? And A Rod was like
are you serious with the pinstripes? And that's how business happens. Well,

(33:51):
speaking of a Rod sometimes, I posted a clip on
my Instagram story at rich Davis, Hey, give me a follow.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
What the heck?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
A Rod, who we've talked about, change his image so
much in the last handful of years, Like he went
from putts to like really likable guy. There's a video
of a Rod getting lunch at like your diner and
some little kid comes up to a Rod with his iPad.
He's like, hey, mister Rod, a Rod, can you look

(34:18):
at my swing and give me some tips? And A
Rod's encouraging this little kid looking at a swing on
the iPad. I'm like, you know what, A Rod is
the best example of change his image for the better.
I mean, you can never deny his love and passion
of baseball, but watching him help this little kid, honestly,
you'll be.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Like, how cute man.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
So you're saying a Rod is a okay, he's a okay,
in my book, I really I never hated a Rod
like other people did.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
But what I learned from that is that Rich would
call him mister Rod if he met him. That's my takeaway.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
To meet you.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I have your jersey, well, I hope it doesn't say
mister Ron on it. So thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Great story Live from the tiraq dot com studio. We
got Midweek Major, next hour, oh plus the team report
cards and speaking of a Rod helping a little leaguer,
I have a piece of advice for all the parents
that are coaching kid sports and are involved every weekend
with all your kids sports and activities.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
IOA.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Sam walks in the studio and he starts doing the
air yo yo saying that he has yo yo skills
and I don't know why, just look at your face.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Io was Sam makes me laugh.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
It started because he said he went to the park
to walk the dog, and I asked him, oh, do
yo yo?

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I do you have yo yo tricks? Is that what
you mean? Get it walking the dog? And he's like no,
So he started doing that and it's funny as hell.
You could see it at Covino and rich Iowa. Sam
is on the ones and twos. What up, Sam?

Speaker 7 (35:59):
He did?

Speaker 1 (35:59):
He does look like a competitive yo yo or yes,
he probably is, and and he listens to yo yo mah.
He told me that's the name my yo yo. I
know me and MA go down to the park.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Good dog.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Danny g is super producing at eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. The Spot's got your midweek major this
hour and DB's here. We're glad you're here. The funniest
part of the video is that the end, Big Mike,
who runs his place, who walks in, He's like, what's
going on here?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
It's it's not just Stam pretending to do the air
yo yo, But.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I hope you had a great Tuesday and La Lucas
sort of Tuesday Lakers sort of Tuesday night. Man watched
that whole game and I was one one of what
two point five million that tuned in, Yeah, to see
the Lakers beat the Mavericks and to see a rejuvenated
Lebron James.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
And most watched NBA games so far this season.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
That's wild how the stats are in. But nineteen points
for Luca. Everybody rallied around him, and as Colin said,
looks like JJ Reddick found the code. The Lebron code
because Lebron has a quarterback. No, because Luca is a
great passer. You see how that works with Lebron, and
they look pretty they look pretty rejuvenated. They look like

(37:16):
straight up contenders. Now with Luca donche well, I mean
it was a great game, but if he listened to
yesterday's show, I was the idiot. It's like over I
thought Luca was gonna light it up. He did what
six or seventeen fwelve nineteen point?

Speaker 9 (37:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
I did have a great shoot.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
Yeah, he filled the stat sheet, but they had double
team on him the entire Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I should have thought of that, but I lost our
parlay yesterday. Dann Bayer, I'll give him credit. He said,
uh yeah, he said maybe the Mavericks would cover and
Luca on the under.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I should have taken DB's word.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
But yeah, the competitive game it was in Vegas. Lebron
went off in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
It just shows you when I mean, I'm not saying
anything about a fix, but Vegas is so good. Sometimes
the points spread was eight and a half or nine,
depending on where you looked. Lakers one by eight.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
Yeah, there was this TICKI tech foul on Luca at
the end of the game, and that changed things for
people who gambled so.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
An since we brought it up, you know, Luca with
the wind that had to feel good. They were cheering,
thank you Nico, thank you Nico, and he stared him down.
One of the greatest photo. I don't know if you
saw that photo. That was great, and the story leading

(38:31):
up to it was that he had Luca bought free
parking for the fans across the street. I don't know
if Spot's gonna talk about that in midweek major either
that or he's right.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
I want to have I won't have time for it now.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Put that in your midwek you know what, Keep it
there because we're gonna get to all those stories coming up.
But last night, while you were watching the Lakers, I
did as well. But after that, just a heads up,
Danny g and I've been talking about this show. I
swear by my words. Here Paradise on Hulu. Episode seven,

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Yesterday we talked about the latest season of Love Is
Blind for a minute, Rich We forgot to talk about
the dude on there who admitted to his addiction to
I be profen.

Speaker 8 (40:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't want to downplay like anyone's addiction, but he
made it seem like I was, like, he's addicted to what?

Speaker 2 (40:20):
First?

Speaker 4 (40:21):
I took four that was his big dramatic story. Yeah,
that's the joints feel so good.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
I was up to six, and then a couple of
weeks later I took eight of them.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't want to downplay any
drug addiction, but it did seem a bit like that's okay.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Well I get it, though, I mean, geez away those
aches and pains, I get it.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
My goodness, I didn't know I be profn was habit
for me.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I didn't know that either. Well, freeness of it is
what's the I want to see what twenty of those
feel like.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Geez, well, be careful out there with your advil and
tilan all now, I want to change gears for a second.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
We are going to get to midweek. May we want
to tell us about your flintstone vitamin problem, right, sure, no,
I took four. Your mega dosing issues getting out of
here by.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
You know what I feel like part of my knock
on wood, trying to stay healthy. Vitamin D.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
I've been taking a vitamin A little vitamin D pill
every day since the COVID days when everyone's like, you know,
everyone's vitamin D deficient. I've been taking every day and again.
Knock on woo. All these people are gross, and I
feel good. I appointed to you when I said grinking.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
That horseworm medication too rich that everyone was taking.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Joe Rogan told me, anyway, stuff, Let me give you
every Let me give everyone a great tip.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
No, thank you.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
So my son plays t ball. I've talked about this.
We're all in that same boat. If you're living that
mom or dad life. Your kids are playing t ball
and softball, gymnastics, dance, soccer, flag football. We're a sports network, kids.
Sports will dominate your time if you let it. But

(41:59):
something was presented to the Little League. I keep saying
Litle League. It's actually pony Ball. My son is in
west Hill's pony Ball out here in Los Angeles, and
they presented an opportunity that I thought was awesome.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
May I think.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Eighteenth or sixteenth one of those days, there's the game
where pony Ball and Little League are invited to Dodgers
Stadium where the kids could walk the field before the
game and the players give them high fives and a
couple autographs here and there. When I was a kid,
I would have prayed to do something like that. Imagine

(42:38):
did you walk around Yankee Stadium as a kid.

Speaker 8 (42:41):
No.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Did I walk around Chase Stadium as a kid.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
No, way, didn't even seem like a possibility.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
So I know a lot of the little leagues and
the pony ball leagues out here in LA do that
with the Dodgers, and I just feel like my kids
are gonna have so much fun doing it. So if
they offer that in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Texas, New York, Phil
if your team has.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Little League pony Ball Day where.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Kids could participate in this, I feel like you'rer obligation
as a dad or mom to do it.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Oh absolutely, man.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
I always my only reference to anything close to that
is in the Bad News Bears when they played at
the Astronome. Yeah, because I was like, how do they
do that? They played little league games in a major
league field, Get out of here. But just the possibility
of ever even stepping foot on a major league field,
to me was so not possible as a kid.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
So if your kids in T ball, little league, pony ball,
whatever they're doing, my first step on a major league
field was with you when we were invited to City Field. Yeah,
got to work. We worked for SNY, a home of
the Mets and Jets and all things New York sports. Yeah,
because we worked for the network, we got to go
on the field and hang and stuff. So I had
to work for the network to get my stupid foot

(43:55):
on the field. Your son, all you guys to do
is pick his nose. We're walking around in the middle
of may Dodger Stadium. Damn byer? Did they do this
in Milliawauk? Like, I feel like this is something I
see so many little.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Kids do I ever did?

Speaker 3 (44:08):
I don't know, you know, in my hometown at the
time was about four hours from Milwaukee, so it wasn't
really realistic at that point, but they may have. I
feel like kids have been more accessible over the last
twenty five years to stuff like that. Then I remembering
the covering the Brewers twenty some years ago, and then
every Sunday was run the Bass Day where the fans

(44:29):
line up at first base, like they just walked down
the seats and down to the field, and then they
could run around the home and then they just exit
back up.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
That's like a stream.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
The way I'm doing that is if I'm streaking or
if I'm jumping in Like where am I going to
get there.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
Most people only do that and then get arrested. Right.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Actually, that's not my dream anyway, Rich, So good for
your kids, because I still want to ride around on
a horse like Wade bugs.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
That's my face, is that your Fanta held my finger
out on a horse. You have his hairline, you have
old school wade box hairline.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Yes, before the two peg waid bogs.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
So just a reminder. We can move on.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
But if your baseball team in your city provides this
day or days for the kids, I can't see why
your little son or daughter wouldn't have.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Such joy in this.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
I can't wait to walk my little boy around Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
And then again, do they really know how special it is?
It's only special to you because you've never done it
and it always seemed like a fantasy. I'm just saying,
for conversation's sake, do you really think your son is
going to be like this is unbelievable. I don't know
he should. You hope he does.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
You're going to get a kick out of it as well,
because then you'll start to remember the what happened in
those certain spots. I don't know if you guys get
in this style.

Speaker 5 (45:44):
Of course, sit there and think if this play happened
where Freddy Freeman did his famous bat flip.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
I'm not even joking. What you just described is something
I acted out one of my few fun moments. I
went on the field at Chase Stadium in Wait before
they tore it down.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
I have a picture of me.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Yeah, but you fell in because you drank too much,
right then you just stumble in. Yeah, I just I
got to go on.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Actually, he took a line drive to the head and
he passed out and fell into the field. I I
got to go behind the first base bag and I
had my glove uppy. I put the gloves down like
like I was Bill Buck there sure, and then I
went to the left field wall and jumped up where
Andy Chavez tried to make the catch. I tried to reenact. Oh,
that's great, some fun moments in Met's history. So I

(46:29):
think it's pretty cool that again, if you have that
opportunity with your kids, doesn't need to be Dodgers or
your son Ben to where where they never got a
no hitter before. When Johan Santana let up the double
was it wasn't no hitter. You could you know this
is where the double.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
Happened right there. It was a no hitter. No it wasn't.
You could show them there was no reflay back then,
there was no hitter.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
You could show them that legendary moment. So that's that's
so cool, man. I wish I had that opportunity. So anyway,
just forget I throw it out there because it's that
time of year where Little League and pony Ball and
all this stuff is starting, and so many cities across
the country that if they offer that day, like, hey,
we're gonna do a day at the stadium, I promise you,
I feel like your kids will love it. If not,
you know what, you'd love it seeing through your kid's eyes.

Speaker 8 (47:11):
The end.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Now, the NFL, let's go to football for a second.
Every year, the NFL has been doing this, and I
think it's great. I feel there are to be nothing
more honest when blind surveys are taken amongst teams and
they got to tell the truth. One thousand, six hundred
and ninety five NFL players provided feedback about their teams,

(47:35):
and it's the twenty twenty five NFL Team report Card. Basically,
which teams have the most favorable atmospheres, locker rooms, clubhouses,
family accommodations, that sort of stuff. I'll tell you what
I'm gonna be truthful with you. I've worked with companies,
not this one. We've never been given the opportunity here
at Fox Sports Radio. But I worked at companies where

(47:57):
they're like, hey, fill out this like eployee survey and
tell us what you really think. And my first thought is,
I'm not telling you that you'll you think. I don't
think you could track it to me. I get all
like weird about that, Like, fill out this survey. How
do you really feel about you serious? SEXAM or ESPN
or no way, am I going to be honest.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
You've exposed the coffee here live on the air before.
Though coffee here is awful.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
But I will say I love that these players they
have nothing to lose, and it is a it is
a blind survey, as they say, right, So these guys
get to rate the facilities, how the organizations treat families,
how they handle free agency, how they handle everything and.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
Cavino head coach, ownership, everything.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Team team travel, yeah, weight rooms, all that.

Speaker 4 (48:45):
So on your report card and give it back tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
What do we got?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
What teams are and here's you got what you gotta
ask yourself? Also, is it consistent with success? Meaning are
players on successful teams always going to be happiest? As
it almost like you know, if your team stinks, like
there's just a general sense of unhappiness, or are there
sometimes like lot the team stinks but they treat you well.
I don't know if there's a lot of correlation because

(49:09):
didn't the Chiefs get a bad rating and the Chiefs
were like.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
The bottom of the list the season?

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah, right, So I don't know if there's a correlation
to like, yeah, bad team, bad atmosphere.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Good team.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Would also argue that if you're on a successful, winning team,
that you demand more out of your facilities, which means
you may give them a lower grade from the get go,
like one.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
May feed the other.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Well, the Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, and the Vikings were
the only teams to get an a plus for head
coach and ownership, so they were the only teams to
get a plus in that area. But the gist of
the whole story here is that when it comes to
favorable atmospheres overall, the Dolphins scored the best and the

(49:54):
Cardinals scored the worst.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
What I think is interesting with the Cardinals portion of it,
and you'll this with other teams. The Cardinals are a
family business. It's been in the bidwell business.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
For so long.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
You look at some of the other family business teams,
it's not not maybe not all of them, but Steelers
Chiefs where we think, like, oh, Rooney family, Hunt family.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
You guys just mentioned.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Yeah, the legacy, Yes, absolutely, they know football, and their
ratings aren't as high as Yeah, some of the I
don't want to say newer owners because Arthur Blank's been
there a while and and you know, Ziggie Wolf's been
in Minnesota for a while, but some of the like
the the longer franchises are really behind the times in
keeping their players happy with things, which I thought was interested.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
That's a great observation, dB. You would think you're right.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
You think these legacy teams with you know, owners for
you know, not centuries, but generations that man Covino, they
must have it on lock, but they don't. And not
to pull it back to my Mets, it's a different
sport and everything, But what is the big thing that
every free agent talks about when they say the Mets
Since Steve Cohen took over how they treat the families

(51:03):
and how they how they are as people, and that
means more. Don't you feel like that means more now
than ever in any sport? Like it's because they all
make so much money, I think more so now there's
an emphasis on how are they to my wife and kids?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
How are the facilities, how are the trainers?

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Like these all these but they I think.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
They mean more. Would you agree that they mean more
now than ever?

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Seems that way, I mean, but I think that we
as fans don't always factor that in as as a
reason as to why these players want to be there, lifestyle,
how they treat their kids.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
I mean the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
The Dolphins haven't had a really great run right well,
one postseason appearance in the last couple of years. The
Dolphins aren't, you know, winning double digit games every year.
McDaniel's a likable coach, ownership treats him well.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Before that, there was the the rub with Brian Flores
and all that, which was enough.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Friends the Dolphins, like we said, they they scored pretty
much much the best they got a's across the board. Yeah,
when you're doing a quick glance like your your kids
report card. I was gonna say, Nami, Dolphins, Yeah and yeah.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
At a glance, the top eleven teams Sarah, Packers, Saints, Ravens, Commanders, Texans, Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, Falcons, Vikings, Dolphins, and.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
At a glance, the lowest scores you see at a
glance from the top eleven. The Commanders in the training
room got a C plus. That's kind of low because
everybody's A and B everything and team travels C plus
for the Chargers. And then when you dive into that
stuff everything else, maybe then you realize, like the stuff
that we don't know, Dan Byer, like some teams have

(52:42):
such better.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Accommodations than others.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
I remember watching the documentary about the forty nine Ers,
and it was that Joe Montana did Joe Cool documentary,
Bill Walsh and Eddie de Bartelow, and that ownership in
the Niners back in the day. They made sure the
forty nine Ers had the best high class first class
planes and facilities and state at the best hotels like

(53:05):
they treated the forty nine ers stars like the Montanas
and Ronnie Watts and Steve Young's and they treated them
like stars.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
The Patriots have their own plane, and the players ripped
it like they were not happy. You look at New England.
New England was thirty first out of thirty two teams,
and we're talking about Bob Kraft and going to the
Hall of Fame and doing all this stuff for all
the wins and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
But this stuff is is what is?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
You know, tells a.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Lot tye opening and you know, we're trying to figure
out why, why in the world Stafford would want to
leave la or how could that even be a possibility.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
They didn't even make the top eleven here. Well, but
the Raiders did.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I know it's a trend in workplaces now, but there's
a commonality between the two places.

Speaker 4 (53:48):
You and I were Danny.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Danny's Raiders were a's across the board a few anuses.
When it comes to again head coach team travel, they
get a locker room, they get an eight plus plus
in handsome ownership, handsome owner to be Tom Brady, Tom
Brady Davis brought it down. It's but the two places
you and I have worked and the commonality between Bennigan's

(54:13):
and Wendy's.

Speaker 4 (54:14):
What two places are you talking? We did?

Speaker 2 (54:15):
We did work there.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
They right, guys, closureize and listen to Ready, Welcome to Wendy's.
Can I take your order?

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Oh? That's you man? That was my start.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Did Wendy's get an edge because everybody's on the headset
so they know what you get?

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Drive through?

Speaker 3 (54:30):
I saw a fast food show about it that said,
that's why Wendy's is so quick.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
Damn Byer. I was the master of the drive through.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
In fact, actually on the radio, Rich only wore that
because Britney Spears wore one.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
An he changed the culture of Wendy's. I changed the
culture of drive throughs. So people don't know that. Yeah,
Dave Thomas and I had a meeting.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
But the one thing that I do love about Fox
Sports Radio and our other part time stuff and stuff
we do with Serious XM. Yeah, that the narrative of like, hey, listen,
if you need a day to do something with your kids.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Do it and think about that.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
As far as teams go, we talked about how teams
treat wives and family.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
That is so important.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
It makes you feel good.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
Yeah, like if you if it's one thing to preach
like we're a family, but to actually act like it
and really deliver on it, that's another thing too. Will
say those things, but they don't mean it. If you're
a hard worker, which we we come in here every
day and try to have a lot of fun. You know,
we're not taking days off random We were not. We're
showing up here every single day. If you told the boss, hey,

(55:32):
my daughter's got to recite all I gotta leave a
little early one day, he's a type of guy that'll
be like, absolutely yeah, and that makes you want to
work harder when you're here. We do it every Wednesday.
Are you ready, dude? He goes a full eight minutes.

(55:53):
Midwek Major.

Speaker 10 (55:55):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the
week mid Week Major. I love that we throw sports
and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and
it's like, the kids say, that's comment.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
We definitely leader see it.

Speaker 9 (56:12):
Our scoring Midweek Major I gotta go quick because we
got to give Spot seven full minutes. It looks like
right now before we hand things over to the number
one and only host a new segment. We love to
roll the two big Red Love Dice in the main studio.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
I rolled your sticky Red Love Dice. Danny g I
rolled the ten so.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
I frustratedly just dropped them and got a six. You're
up first. That means Colvino gets first.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
Take.

Speaker 5 (56:38):
Yeah, and now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person
besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey spotty boy.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
All right, I'll give you a few more details. We
jup right in on that story that you mentioned earlier
when you stole it from me. Luca and the Lakers
took on the Echa, his ex, the MAVs last night,
beating them one oh seven and ninety nine. While this
was the first time Luca faced the MAVs, he certainly
knew how to win over the New LA fan base.
And that's my offering a free parking parking, which is
a very scarce thing here in LA. That's fans flocked

(57:07):
to Crypto dot Com Arena for the game. They were
met with a sign that read free parking courtesy of Luca,
which I thought was cool. The lot was across from
La Li, which is where dot Com Arena is, and
fans expressed their gratitude on social Lucas spoke after the game,
saying he faced some emotions facing his old team, but
he goes little by little and every day is better
midweek or major nineteen points, nice win, rejuvenated team.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
I'm loving it, but I have questions.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Okay, like Mark Anthony, I need to know, you know,
on The Bachelor, when the Bachelor provides all these fun dates,
but it's really not the Bachelor doing it. He just
goes to the network and he says, yeah, can you
get me a cake for this girl? And I want
to take her on a helicopter when the.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Girl's like, oh my god, this ring and it's like, yeah,
provided by the show. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Does Luca really pay for parking for everybody? Or does
he go to the Lakers and say, you know, I
want to do something for the fans. Can we write
this off? Hey a Genie Buss, can you expense this
for me? Just coordinate for me to the story him
and who is Jordan Brand? Yeah, I was gonna. I
was gonna say I paid for it out of their
own pockets. That I think is cool. I think it's

(58:13):
a great way to win people over. We always say
kill them with kindness. Here on the show when we
were the new guys, You're bringing donuts all the time,
people love you. This is his version of given donuts
and Buffalo Wild wings to all the fans who love
them already.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Jumpman also is a major story targeting cheap.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Yeah, parketing is not cheap.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
You want it's like one hundred and twenty dollars in
some of those losses.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
And you want him to have a great relationship with
the fans. I also think it's major. And by the way,
it reminds us that we do we owe people food
around here. It's been a minute. It's been a minute.
All people still like us. Let's bring some pizza on Friday.
When's Kelvin gonna buy us Kelvin's new When's he gonna
buy us wings?

Speaker 7 (58:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Yeah, you know, let's let's get some food on Friday.
Oh good of Calvin.

Speaker 9 (58:55):
You know.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
I think Luca we underestimate what a shock it was
to him. He had first I thought it was a prank.
He had bought a fifteen million dollar estate in Dallas.
He thought his future was there, So it took him
a minute emotionally to really figure out what was going on.
So the fact that he's in it to win it
now with Lebron, I feel like we've had a minute
to settle in. It's major step one win over the fans.

Speaker 4 (59:16):
Let's go it's tick him in the last night's game.
I thought this was cool. Side story.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Klay Thompson had a chance to honor the doctor that
helped him get back on his feet following his torn
achilles in the twenty twenty twenty twenty one season. He
returned to the court last night or actually sorry, He
returned to the court after a two and a hal
half year hiatus in twenty twenty two, went on to
help lead the Warriors to his fourth championship with the franchise.
While he credits doctor Richard Ferkel with playing an instrumental

(59:42):
role and getting back on the court, and last night
after the game decided to present him with that fourth
championship ring, which he credits the doctor helping him get
back on his feet.

Speaker 7 (59:51):
Wow it was.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Yeah, it was a nice little thing.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
That the ring itself has sixteen carrots worth of yellow
and white diamonds, so God only knows how much it's worth.

Speaker 4 (59:59):
But a nice little gesture the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
That helped him get back midweek or major, it's so major,
but because it's a foot doctor, it was actually a
toe ring.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
A lot of people don't know, but shut up, No, man,
I think that's so cool, Like, what a gesture he
gets a ring the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
That's incredible. We saw two great honors last night. We
saw Anthony Davis honored by the Lakers fans, a cool montage,
everybody giving him his due. And for Clay to acknowledge
his doctor in this way, that's incredible. I mean, I
can't follow up a toe ring joke to next that off?
All right, John Travis Kelcey, this is a little bit IROLLI,

(01:00:35):
but deal with it. Has revealed the key to getting
over his Super Bowl blues after the loss of the
CS and you guessed it. It's by listening to his
girlfriend's songs perfect for a breakup or any sort of downtime.
Listen to Taylor Swift. On this week's New Heights pod.
He said that he listens to music that is very
telling of his mood and I just listened to Taylor's music.
She has something for everything. He expressed his disappointment and

(01:00:57):
his performance in the Big Game, and despite rep speculation
about him returning or retirement, the Chiefs GM announced that
the organization expects him to be back next season Midweek
or major Major. Kelsey related I wonder do the Chiefs
want him back? He played so ass in the Super Bowl.
I think he's a great guy.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
I just wonder.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
And as far as the music thing, look, I'm a
music lover. The fact that he can relate to any
music is cool with me. I just I use music
in a different way if I'm feeling down. I want
music to lift my spirits, not match my spirits. I
think you crying, you know, to the music listening to it.
So I think it's such a lame thing I do
that I've done different than you. I'm great when I'm sad.

(01:01:38):
I want to listen to sad music. When I'm happy,
I want to listen to happy music.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
Listen. I want music to save my crappy movie.

Speaker 9 (01:01:44):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
I mean just sing to him.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
I was gonna say, live for fits right like a capella?

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
He just man, I was Sam? How do I follow up?
I was Sam's good idea? All right?

Speaker 10 (01:01:57):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
He Kelsey.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
His teammate Patrick Mahomes coping with his loss in a
slightly different way, and that's by trimming down his signature locks.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
I don't know if you saw it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Mahomes was seen earlier this week as he watched his
former college, Texas Tech lose to the Houston Cougars more
loss in his life. But his barber spoke out and
said that Mahomes told him when he showed up after
the Super Bowl loss, he said, just cut it off. First,
he thought he was he was skeptical of it, but
he explained that Mahomes was frustrated with his performance and
it said it was time for a new look. His barber,

(01:02:28):
uh time for newk gave him a nice short cut.
So if you see it, it's like a very cropped
little curl thing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:34):
Used to that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
No worse flop, no more burst fade flop over the
top of that head. Best major, maybe major, because I
look at Mahomes as a trend setter and he's one
of the og broccoli heads, one of the og alpaca boys,
and he started a burst fade broccoli head sort of
trend that so many kids.

Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
You see the kids at the gym, thepaca boys.

Speaker 9 (01:02:54):
That's how bad.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Maybe now we start seeing less of that because he
trimmed it up. But I think it's a great move forward.
Hate the name drop, but we had Lenny Kravitz on
our show one time and he had just cut his
dreads off, like, why'd you do it?

Speaker 10 (01:03:06):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
He's like, just needed a new vibe about me, new energy.
I feel different. It's a different vibe, and I buy
into that. It's a new hymn.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
He has to wash that loss out of his system
and move forward with a new look.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
After looking at the photo, this is a week story
because he tells the burst fad. He just cut it
a little shorter.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
You know what's.

Speaker 10 (01:03:28):
Hold on?

Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
You know what significant?

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
You know when someone gets a haircut and they're like,
I've made a big change, and you're like, I don't
really even notice it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
I don't even know I took off. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
A couple Sam came in. He has a greasier haircut. Ye,
he went from afro to greaser guy. Rich, you cut
your we called him your side poofs. You're like side hair.
You cut it down to a nice fade change. Rich
had like like a Mel Gibson mixed with Larry from
the Three Stages haircut. And you know you mentioned that
a lot cooler since you got your haircut. I think

(01:03:58):
it's significant.

Speaker 6 (01:04:00):
You think this is a way different. Yeh, oh my god,
you don't see the different job sometimes rich your gardener.
It's like pruning a bush. I know you gotta kut.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Have you seen a rose?

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Bushes?

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
Do I have time for one more? Because I feel
like this will resonate with you. Yes, go ahead. You
love Jordan's but not as quite as active as it
used to be.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
This is for you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
Yeah your luck. Nike and the Jordan brand are expanding
their footwear line.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Obviously we know they're huge with basketball expanded into baseball
and football. Well now your old ass can enjoy Jordan
brand walking shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
This is maze.

Speaker 9 (01:04:30):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
In this spring, the brand is set to debut a
new sneaker known as the Jordan CMFT era. The low
top silhouette is intended to deliver long lasting comfort while walking,
will be heavily inspired by the Air Jordan one model
and also use elements from the Air Jordan's six, which
is the one that he won his first championship in.
The two styles which have that like Chicago Bulls kind

(01:04:53):
of look to them. Set to debut, like I said,
in spring, with a price tag of one hundred and
fifteen dollars Midweek or major. This is so major because
it goes to show you how old everybody's getting. They're
offering Jordan walking shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Now, I'll lan Jordan's Jordan's now there, Jordan old guys shoes,
guys shoes, you're not marriedy, Jordan cataract glasses coming soon,
Like he's gonna have a whole lot of old people's stuff.
That's wild. I think it's major, and I'll tell you why.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Spot pointed out a meme the other day that said,
it's hard to accept the fact that people that were
in their forties when Jordan won are.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Now in their seventies. So this is perfectly going along
with this brand.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
If you were fortyish when Jordan was winning, you're in
your seventies.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Now feel old.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Jet, Thank you, Spot, Thank you guys. Let's go da
Buire for an update. That's a weird thought, right, If
your parents are in their seventies, they were. If you're fortyish,
you were your parents' age when Jordan was winning.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
I don't hate on walking shoes either. They are super light,
they are a magnificent feel on your feet.
