00:00:48

That USA Fencing dot Org slash try fencing. And by the way, I am not back pedaling at all. I do think this fan is a buffoon. I just think DK Metcalf has to have the the resistance, the love resistance to say but he.

00:02:12
Speaker 2: Didn't, So it's an easy excuse to say that he talked about my mama and he said X, Y, and Z, And we're not saying, and I'm definitely not saying that racism doesn't exist and that people aren't belligerent. But if that were the case here, the NFL would have done their due diligence to find out that that was true.

00:02:30
Speaker 1: It seems like you said, you know, it's a lot of nonsense.

00:02:32
Speaker 3: Unless there's audio recordings of it, then you're really just like, oh, who do you believe?

00:02:36
Speaker 1: And then he goes nowhere, you.

00:02:37
Speaker 2: Know, but there's witnesses rich and you know, the NFL would do everything in their power to protect DK Metcalf, Like I said, truth and the spin, And the truth is that, yeah, maybe this fan did taunt him and call him by his birth name, and maybe he was getting under Metcalf's skin. But the truth is Metcalf crossed the line and then he spun it as to why, Well, here's why I did it. And that's dangerous territory because you can't just use that as an excuse to be belligerent sometimes when when in fact, stuff like that really does happen, right, So, you can't use that as an excuse. That's not a good look for the NFL.

00:03:11
Speaker 1: Say hi to Larry, Larry, go ahad, what's your take on this?

00:03:13
Speaker 4: Buddy?

00:03:15
Speaker 5: Hey, listen here. First of all, I want to defend that fan because without the fans, the motor wouldn't keep rolling. That's for Fox Sports TV, not all fans. Because the guy has blue hair on. I don't think the way that guy is bashing the fan is like, but we got evidence of DK Metcalf. He's just another AJ Brown and I don't believe that brother called him that. I don't believe that dude called him that. That's the first thing they want to do. And I'm a black man and we hate when we see a brother go and pull that race card. DK Metcalf is a bonehead. He didn't have no business going in that fan. Ain't even if the fan was called him. This his birth name. Go be mad at your mama she named.

00:03:55
Speaker 3: And you know, Larry, I'm glad, I'm glad you did say that. I just think that fans just.

00:04:02
Speaker 2: Because it's just you have to speculate all sides. Yeah, we know that there are trash bags that do say things like that. And they do say the wrong things. But you know, if that were the case, the NFL would not have made this announcement as soon as they did. And yeah, his name's not so bad, the Kaylin Zacarius Metcalf. Let's just hope he's better in the future, because it's a shame now he has to appeal and he looks like he's lying about the whole thing, like and you know that shouldn't be the go to excuse.

00:04:31
Speaker 1: Like Larry said, It's just.

00:04:32
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think this is gonna I don't think we're gonna hear about the story much more. I think it's sort of I like to think that. Here's my guests. They reduce it to one game. The Steelers have pretty much wrapped up that division anyway, seeing the playoffs, Steelers sort of become a little backstory.

00:04:48
Speaker 6: Now.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: I told you they ruined, they ruined everything, and say, by.

00:04:51
Speaker 2: Winning, we still got to talk about the fight. We got to talk about the Jags. We have last one standing, We have lots together to.

00:04:58
Speaker 1: How about Andy and Rhode Island? What's up Andy? What's up with Andy?

00:05:05
Speaker 6: Hey?

00:05:05
Speaker 1: What'su buddy?

00:05:06
Speaker 7: Hey? Check this out, guys, before I get Before I get on my on my taake, I just want to say I am a big fan of band Byer after Friday what I heard, he's a survivor fan. Man. He has won me over. But to get to my take, it has to be the passion the affairs call that was missed by the rest of the Ravens and Patriots game. I don't know how to defend it. Could just be allowed to tackle the guy before the ball even gets there, and then the references standing in stole Colde and Mike Rabel had had a couple of words with him. I know, I know everyone saw that.

00:05:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm that there was there was a miscall there.

00:05:43
Speaker 3: Listen, they didn't they didn't, uh, I mean they didn't really have much of a chance without Lamar Jackson moving forward if he asked me, so, I don't know. I think a couple a couple of rivalries fill apart yesterday, and I think any excitement.

00:05:58
Speaker 2: You saw hurt, then we think he is. He's been off season this whole season.

00:06:02
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:06:03
Speaker 2: And as far as Dan Bayer, not only is Dan a great broadcaster, he's a good dude.

00:06:07
Speaker 1: So thanks for the phone call, appreciate it.

00:06:09
Speaker 4: Great job.

00:06:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about.

00:06:12
Speaker 2: The Jags real quick, rich, because it seems like all of a sudden and the narrative changes week to week, So I get why it happens, but it's funny to observe, right, the Jags are the real deal. Like I can't tell you how many times I read like they're super.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: Bowl bound, and they very well might be. But a week ago we weren't really saying that.

00:06:32
Speaker 2: But they really did seem like the real deal because they beat the Broncos. Man, they're now eleven and four, the Broncos are twelve and three. The Jags look legitimate, so we got to point that out. From one week to the next, they went from like, yeah, they're pretty good, I don't know if I'm believing that hype to then beating the Broncos in super Bowl bound is the buzz.

00:06:54
Speaker 1: The buzz.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: I can't say it's the narrative, but it's the buzz. They're looking solid and because they beat the Broncos, more solid than we thought.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: Let me give you a couple of plays and a couple of things I saw over the weekend, and you let me know if you think it's like trash or legit, like you bs or legit. Okay, go ahead number one. Speaking of Trevor Lawrence and the Jags, who looked Super Bowl brown bro, Yeah, I get it.

00:07:16
Speaker 1: They look great.

00:07:17
Speaker 3: When the when the whistle was what would a whistle when a whistle was whistle? Whistles go when the whistle was whistled, and when the whistle was blown, Yeah, whistles are blown. That's what it is, your mama, while you're under there, Rich, When the whistle was blown and the guy on the Broncos still took that hit on Trevor Lawrence, I feel like that could have been so much worse. Oh man from behind, like he was whole like yo, his whole back went in, you know, he popped all there.

00:07:49
Speaker 1: He like scorpion mid air. He popped up and actually started laughing.

00:07:53
Speaker 3: With one of the other Bronco defenders and I was like, all right, So it must have just looked a lot worse. But that could have been a season derail. Danny g Just imagine that's the play that injures Trevor Lawns and the season's overcoming.

00:08:06
Speaker 1: Rich. It's in fighting, it's in boxing, it's it's the once. Do you don't see coming? Do you see that.

00:08:12
Speaker 8: Yeah, the slow mo of that is insane. His body is just rocked. He looks like Jello.

00:08:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, like yeah, I know it sounds ridiculous, but you've heard people say if you brace for a car accident, sometimes you can get more hurt.

00:08:24
Speaker 1: Like maybe, let you know, maybe maybe.

00:08:25
Speaker 8: That's why some people who are intoxicated will live through a bad accident.

00:08:29
Speaker 3: Fortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately the innocent, the innocent people die. Yeah, but but yeah, no, when you get hit like that, sometimes maybe not seeing it coming is because Trevor Lawrence pop right back up, And I was like, thank god, because that would have been what a what a crappy storyline it would have been if the Jags were rolling and Trevor Lawrence gets hurt on a play that was blown dead but the guy didn't hear it, Like that would have been weak.

00:08:50
Speaker 1: Funny point rich.

00:08:51
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe there's something to that, because I don't know how he survived that his body.

00:08:54
Speaker 3: But not even survived to Qre like popped up like yeah, no bagby another play. I wanted to bring up Baker Mayfield on that final drive. Was it Mike Evans who just cut the wrong way? Is that Evans trying to improvise or is that a bad read on Evans?

00:09:10
Speaker 1: Did we ever hear anything?

00:09:12
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:09:12
Speaker 8: I wondered the same if they broke the wrong direction, but he was also trying to extend the play.

00:09:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean I think that might have just been like, hey, receiver trying to extend the play, and instinctually they're usually on. But if that last interception looked like Baker just threw it into no man's landos because Mike Evans broke the opposite way, and if he had broke that way, maybe Tampa wins that game.

00:09:34
Speaker 1: So I thought that was interesting. Cavino, That's a great point.

00:09:38
Speaker 3: And the other one was on Saturday, the game that sord of went under the raid August.

00:09:41
Speaker 1: There was no real stakes involved.

00:09:43
Speaker 3: It was just, you know, Philadelphia insuring themselves a playoff spot and everything winning that division. When Nick Sirianni goes for two in the fourth quarter when they're up by what like eighteen seventeen points and Washington so offended that a fight breaks.

00:09:59
Speaker 1: Out, Are you like Nick Sirianni made a great point.

00:10:02
Speaker 3: He goes is running up the score really going for two instead of one? It's one point and you're going for the over and or is he no? Or is it simply he was doing the math and it's like, well, then two touchdowns in a field goal? I don't know bs or not. Do you think Nick Sirianni just kicks here as a point and this is some BS?

00:10:21
Speaker 1: And I called like that. I wondered the same thing as you do.

00:10:23
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on in that moment, but I don't believe in running up the score.

00:10:28
Speaker 4: I don't.

00:10:29
Speaker 1: I'm just not a believer of that. I think do what you can there.

00:10:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to think of any other thoughts before we get to the rest of your feedback, because we got a lot to get to today.

00:10:40
Speaker 1: How about you don't even talk about the fight?

00:10:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, before the fight, really quick, Covino, because haven't got to say anything about the Raiders except they stink in there. Dude, Ashtrion Genty running like that against the NFL's number one defense. They give up fourteen points a game, and Genty scored doubt on his own. He was breaking tackles, he was catching passes. If you can get some real leadership there in Vegas with Bowers, Genty, of course, Max Crosby, you have some stars to build around. I think that makes it even more frustrating for Raiders fans.

00:11:15
Speaker 3: Did you see Tom Brady said he's going to take a more active role. Yeah, I have a question, do you I think, Danny, I'm gonna be really positive about your Raiders.

00:11:22
Speaker 1: Okay, I think that. Listen.

00:11:25
Speaker 3: There's times that get blown out there, like last week against the Chiefs with.

00:11:28
Speaker 8: Thirty one to nothing against both the Chiefs and the Eagles.

00:11:31
Speaker 3: And and Max Crosby, you know, look like his head was about to spin off at a frustration. There are games, though, where the Raiders do look like they're not far away. I don't think they're I don't know. There are times where I'm like, are they that awful?

00:11:46
Speaker 4: Either?

00:11:47
Speaker 1: Do you need to get rid of Gino Smith.

00:11:48
Speaker 4: They're a confusing.

00:11:50
Speaker 8: Team because they have some great starters and they have really really bad depth, bad backups, Like their second string guys couldn't even be third string guys on some other NFL team.

00:12:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could see how a secondary or the run game is exposed when when they have.

00:12:06
Speaker 4: The O line was exposed at the very start of the season.

00:12:09
Speaker 1: Danny g prop so though he's rocking his gent shirt today too.

00:12:12
Speaker 8: Look at him, dude, that was fun watching him run that that football yesterday. It gave me a little bit of hope at least if there could be some leadership in that building. And if it's Tom Brady, Okay, it's Tom Brady, but let's get that fixed.

00:12:26
Speaker 4: Please.

00:12:26
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, Danny, you should have hoped because every year in the NFL, what do we see? We see one or two teams that's stunk.

00:12:32
Speaker 4: Or up to four teams make the playoffs.

00:12:35
Speaker 3: Well, they would say every year of the teams make the playoffs, like forty percent of them are new every year. So every year there's a couple bottom feeders that are playoff contenders and a couple teams that were in the playoffs take a big step back. So hey, there's always next year, is a Is that been your phrase.

00:12:49
Speaker 4: For a while though, Yeah, for too long.

00:12:51
Speaker 1: There's always next time.

00:12:52
Speaker 8: I'm sick of the draft being my fan base is Super Bowl and co.

00:12:57
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of there's anything I missed, but I think we can move along. The charge Cowboys. I was close for a second, but the Chargers pulled away. They're an interesting team right because they're sitting there at eleven and four, and I don't think anyone's really taking them that seriously.

00:13:10
Speaker 6: No.

00:13:11
Speaker 2: I think the final observation is we got exactly what we thought we'd get from the fight, and I found it to be entertaining. If you expected more, I think shame on you, because it was supposed to be a spectacle.

00:13:24
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:13:24
Speaker 2: And the reason that you saw Jake Paul running around is he had a six foot six Olympic gold medal, two time heavyweight champion going after them. And eventually, when Jake Paul gassed himself out from sticking and moving and running and hitting, Anthony Joshua was able to land like a beast and he was doing powerful bombs that were getting to Jake Paul, and he eventually broke his jaw in two places. So anyone that thinks is fake, I'd have to say, well, what do you think about the X race? But I do think if there's any sort of wink wink, it's like, hey, let's give the fans of show, let's sort of spar for three rounds, and then hey, go at it and do whatever you gotta do. And I think that's exactly what happened. Anthony Joshua proved everybody that there's levels to this. But as a result, we watched Jake Paul get his face bashed. Everybody wanted to see that. You saw him humbled a little bit. They both won. Anthony Joshua made over ninety million, with Jake Paul made ninety two million dollars. And I thought it was fun. It brought people together. I was with Rich and Sam and friends and had a good time. I wasn't expecting a masterful boxing lesson.

00:14:36
Speaker 1: From two you know, two former champions.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: I'll say Paul and it's Anthony josh I'll say this, it was fun.

00:14:43
Speaker 1: I don't believe in the fix.

00:14:45
Speaker 3: If anything, maybe I believe in a gold medal heavyweight champion like and Anthony Joshua.

00:14:51
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes in the jungle.

00:14:53
Speaker 3: We made this analogia lion or tiger plays with its food a little bit before it eats it.

00:14:58
Speaker 4: It's possible.

00:14:59
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe with toy with Jake Paul a little bit and then you really fully unleash.

00:15:04
Speaker 1: Got a great workout of it.

00:15:05
Speaker 2: He got a great sparring session, and I loved what he said at the end of the fight, where he's like if you're watching a basketball game, the other team's gonna score.

00:15:13
Speaker 1: But there's levels to this.

00:15:14
Speaker 2: So yeah, Jake pull me have landed a few punches, but it's boxing.

00:15:18
Speaker 1: That's just what's bound to happen.

00:15:21
Speaker 2: So did those punches affect Anthony Joshua anyway?

00:15:24
Speaker 1: And the answer is no. But getting hit that's just part of it.

00:15:27
Speaker 2: And Anthony Joshua did his thing and maybe we get a Fury fight next, but look, they both won, they both made a lot of money, and I thought it was an entertaining night. I had a good time with it, not hating, but we got exactly what we expected.

00:15:40
Speaker 1: Anthony Joshua was just at a different level.

00:15:42
Speaker 2: He's a He's a world class fighter who fought a guy who's fought for what six years? And I won't take away from the wave bols that Jake Paul wears in this moment.

00:15:51
Speaker 1: I would not do that, So I give him props.

00:15:54
Speaker 4: Covino, it's a big butte.

00:15:56
Speaker 8: He's got plates and you know, the dental war removed and screws in his mouth. So now there's people speculating online whether or not this could, you know, stop his boxing career from continuing.

00:16:11
Speaker 2: It'll stall it for for sure. I mean He's not the first boxer to get his jaw broken. You know, in those places, I couldn't tell you. I saw the X rays, I saw the metal places, metal plates. But now he steps down to a weight that's more sufficed to him, which is probably cruiser weight, and maybe he could dominate. Like AJ said, he's got guts, he's got spirit. You need those things. You can't train for those things. He's got the ways to step in there. Now he needs to work harder and get into a better weight class.

00:16:42
Speaker 1: I thought it was. It was thoroughly entertaining.

00:16:45
Speaker 3: It played out and rush, That's all I expected. It played out exactly how many people predicted. In fact, I put twenty bucks on a few rounds for a knockout. I hit twenty paid three p forty on a six round knockout. I thought, uh no, where are you at the mall? Earlier we saw, like I said, Anthony Joshua maybe just feeling them out for a little while. But at no point with it was Anthony Joshua hurt, sweating, winded or anything. And you saw Jake Paul and even mentioned in the post fight where you fight a guy that big, it takes so much out of you cardio wise. It's interesting because I had the old Guys Night at my house and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. And there's Sam the curmudgeon on the couch and.

00:17:27
Speaker 1: He's like, what was that? Sam? What was what was Sam?

00:17:31
Speaker 2: Because it wasn't like a it wasn't a traditional boxing.

00:17:35
Speaker 4: You're right, that's how you should look at it.

00:17:37
Speaker 1: But you aren't entertained.

00:17:38
Speaker 4: No, I was entertained gladator style listen.

00:17:41
Speaker 1: It was.

00:17:42
Speaker 4: It was an entertaining thing to watch.

00:17:43
Speaker 9: It was a spectacle from a boxing competitiveness standpoint. I was looking at the wrong way because this is what the five to six inch height difference, the reach, the weight.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:17:55
Speaker 9: You know, Anthony Joshua is like a boxer, a professional, and Jake Paul is like a YouTube are sort of under you know, going on this like reality.

00:18:03
Speaker 1: Shown shape intriguing.

00:18:04
Speaker 4: That is you're right, that's the way to look at it.

00:18:06
Speaker 1: But also if you.

00:18:07
Speaker 2: Want to see a real fight, real fights matter. Late January, tia Fimo Lopez versus Chakor Stevenson is going to be a technical masterclass of boxing is going to be a chess match.

00:18:18
Speaker 1: So why does that come for boring other.

00:18:20
Speaker 2: Well, no, because if you really want to see some good boxing, you're gonna see a master at defense and tia fimo a master of footwork.

00:18:29
Speaker 1: Trying to trying to land in there. Sounds like a boring equation. Would you when you say, when you have to fight, how about a fight that matters?

00:18:36
Speaker 4: Rich?

00:18:36
Speaker 1: Because this fight matters nothing? But it was fine. Will someone get their job broken?

00:18:42
Speaker 4: Maybe over the weekend? Did you guys?

00:18:44
Speaker 8: I'm sure you saw some of the memes and the jokes about will YouTube have them back? And some of the low hanging fruit that people were grabbing onto. Are those just haters of all haters? Because he did have to show the heart of a lion to stand in there and take those hits.

00:18:59
Speaker 3: I thought it was great. I thought everything about it was entertaining. I think Anthony Joshua came out looking like a real gentleman, and now he might have new fans because it's like, oh, who is Anthony Joshua guy? The people that don't know boxing. I thought everything about it was great. I thought, even from him walking in wearing Hulk Mania stuff, real American played for a second, like you.

00:19:18
Speaker 1: Know what I was?

00:19:19
Speaker 2: I saw that he could be years from now rubbing it on our face, saying, hey, I foreshadowed it right there. Much like wrestling, this is all just entertainment.

00:19:30
Speaker 1: Well, he can't say that, because he can't say that. I guess it was.

00:19:32
Speaker 3: You could bet on it, he'd go to prison. Well exactly, so he can never admit that.

00:19:37
Speaker 2: He may have subtly admitted it by coming out like the Hulkster. But I will never take anything away from him because I would never do that. And I think it takes some guts to get in there, and I thought it was fun. I actually agree with rich It gave us a night out. Yep, we had a good time. And that's it.

00:19:53
Speaker 9: Man.

00:19:53
Speaker 1: Hope you guys enjoyed the fight.

00:19:55
Speaker 6: Not well.

00:19:55
Speaker 3: Hey, coming up, we are going to play Last One Standing, a show game that we play that gives everyone anxiety.

00:20:03
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. If you want in, you.

On things that make you go, Cam Little hitting those seventy three yard field goals go, we're gonna, you know what, say that because I have thoughts on this, dude.

Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Matt. Happy holidays, man, Merry Christmas, and happy Tunica. What's up, Isaac?

00:32:44
Speaker 11: Well, what's up? Is the NFL today suspending Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf two games without pay for initiating a physical confrontation with a Detroit Lions fan on Sunday. He will appeal Metcalf, not the Lions fan. The attorney for the fan issued a statement today in fact denying an NFL media report that the fan directed a racial slur at Metcalf and also said something derogatory about Metcalf's mother. The Kansas City Chiefs will be moving to the State of Kansas for the twenty thirty one season after the State of Kansas today unanimously approved a bond project for a new domed stadium, which will be approximately twenty five miles west of Arrowhead Stadium. Man Cavino and Rich in wake of this momentous news, let's step out of the Fox Sports Radio time machine and fast forward to opening day of the twenty thirty one NFL season. A spectacular Sunday afternoon in the Sunflowers State Today from the brand new Cargill Meet Solutions dough It's the Kansas Kansas City Chiefs of Kansas against the Northwest Indiana Bears. I've already built for that matchup. We have more Chiefs news. Multiple outlets report the Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew did not tear his acl and yesterday's lost to the Titans as initially feared. Sesame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate this holiday season at sesame dot org because the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you finally in major League Baseball. Well you want to handle this one, Rich, the.

00:34:24
Speaker 3: Mets said, later to you, Jeff McNeil, he goes to the A's for a young prospect pitcher. So the Mets no longer with Diaz, Pete Alonzo, Jeff McNeil and Brendan Neimo Stearns is tearing it up.

00:34:38
Speaker 1: He's saying goodbye to this Mets team.

00:34:40
Speaker 11: Could not have said it better myself. Thank you, Rich. Back to you, Rich and Covino.

00:34:44
Speaker 3: And by the way, Isaac, I love you on the call in twenty thirty something. I feel like isauld Isaac could take over.

00:34:51
Speaker 1: No, that was great, It really was.

00:34:53
Speaker 2: And by the way, Rich, you're saying the Mets are at dismantling the rebuilding or they're done or whatever, like they still got so many superstars though, so who are they?

00:35:00
Speaker 1: Like what are the Mets?

00:35:01
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, I don't mind Marcus, Simeon and Polanco and Listen.

00:35:05
Speaker 2: And Sodo did half the Yankees old bullpen? Like, Bro, you have stars, but you're like getting rid of all these other people that were the core of the team.

00:35:13
Speaker 1: So you got it.

00:35:14
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're trying to do well if you haven't won, and you've had this course since the late twenty teens, isn't it really?

00:35:19
Speaker 1: Isn't that the idea? I'm sort of okay with it, to be honest.

00:35:22
Speaker 3: So anyway, well we'll get to the final round of last one standing and we all missed. By the way, in that last round, I'm around Saint Brown. How do we none of us set him?

Speaker 8: Whoever comes closest, just buzz in with your name to go. How many total receiving tds did Randy Moss score in his fourteen seasons in the NFL it's regular season numbers. How many total receiving touchdowns did Randy Moss score in his fourteen seasons?

00:38:26

00:38:28
Speaker 3: Right, write down your number. Comino so I don't think you just play off of my number trush.

00:38:34
Speaker 1: Like you've played in the past. Okay, I'll go first.

00:38:37
Speaker 4: You all right, brains.

00:38:42
Speaker 1: Well, I wrote down the numbers, so here you go. I wrote before you even said it.

00:38:45
Speaker 4: Okay, I got it right.

00:38:47
Speaker 1: Don't forget to drink your ovaltine.

00:38:50
Speaker 11: Good one.

00:38:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:38:51
Speaker 2: In all the scribble right here, I'm sticking with my answer. Yeah, forget where I wrote.

00:38:57
Speaker 1: Rich is a nerd?

00:38:57
Speaker 4: Yeah right there, all right and low and.

00:39:00
Speaker 11: I'm serious about this. I was going to guess one thirty nine.

00:39:02
Speaker 3: Real, SOE gave it ten a year average. I give it ten of year minus two. That's so funny. Yeah, because I know he had the most in a season, but that can be every season.

00:39:12
Speaker 11: So there's no way I'm going to win unless it is one thirty nine.

00:39:15
Speaker 8: Ah, the actual retail touchdown number one and fifty six.

00:39:21
Speaker 4: Coveno is the champion.

00:39:24
Speaker 6: I get it.

00:39:26
Speaker 1: I did it.

00:39:27
Speaker 10: Who do you think you are?

00:39:30
Speaker 5: Who?

00:39:32
Speaker 1: That's right?

00:39:33
Speaker 8: Yeah, buddy, that is even though it sounds like his fortieth victory, that's Coveno's twelfth win in this game.

00:39:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, dude, it's my week. Hey, you know what I needed to win? Man? That was due. So that's great. What a great way to start the holiday week man. And now it's time. Thank you guys.

00:39:49
Speaker 2: By the way, more prizes, more games tomorrow, Iron Mike Trivia, your chance to win a CNR on FSR nerve football. A great stocking stuffer, not as great as a severed foot, but a great stock stuffer for the holidays.

00:40:01
Speaker 1: Iron Mike Trivia tomorrow. That's one of my favorite.

00:40:04
Speaker 3: Mitch Hedburg, the late great Mitch Hedburg comedian, he said, you know what the best stocking stuffer is, Well, probably the best thing is a severed foot.

00:40:14
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, the best betting one.

00:40:17
Speaker 2: But tomorrow, more prizes, every day, more bribery to get you here, But rich, you gotta give us your Monday night football pick. Well, hold on, speaking of severed feet, how about non severed feet you talked about before Cam Little in warm ups.

00:40:30
Speaker 3: This guy's hitting seventy five yard field goals. No, no, no, no, he missed the seventy five.

00:40:34
Speaker 1: He had a seventy three. Yeah, he made the seventy.

00:40:37
Speaker 3: Seventy three would have been good for like seventy eight exactly. So I gotta ask you this, Oh, are we in practice just in case you miss. Are we gonna have to change the field goal ball? Are we gonna have to do something different? Or are we gonna get to a point where listen, Danny, you pointed this out on a kickoff, if it goes through the end zone, they get it at the thirty five with Cam Little. You need one first down here field goal range. One first in your field goal range. Yeah, I mean, win plays a factor. We saw that yesterday.

00:41:05
Speaker 1: Guarantee.

00:41:05
Speaker 3: That's you get one first down and you stall out on third and five, you're at midfield and all of a sudden, your your field goal kickers, rich and everyone's hitting seventy three yarders.

00:41:15
Speaker 4: Coveno just a decent return now and Little would be in field goal ring.

00:41:19
Speaker 13: Yep.

00:41:19
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean with today's foot and the new rules, Yeah, it's possible, rich.

00:41:25
Speaker 3: Man, he's doing And it's so funny because they all do the same thing. Did He just has such like hip and leg moving like how because he's not like some weird anomaly. It's like, look, he's a huge guy, like mechanically he got thunderfoot.

00:41:41
Speaker 2: Vaderfoot bro thunderfoot. Hey, and by the way, don't be stalling because I think there's a little chance. You're like ultra confident in your forty nine ers tonight, and I get it. But I think there is a chance that Philip Rivers surprises some people tonight. Know why because he just fell short last week and he should have had game.

00:42:00
Speaker 1: Do you take a happy holiday edible or what?

00:42:03
Speaker 6: No?

00:42:03
Speaker 2: No, no, Well, I take no pride in seeing your team lose. But I'm saying that there's a chance and you're really downplaying it, and I think that's when people get caught.

00:42:11
Speaker 4: I am not.

00:42:12
Speaker 3: I'm not being overconfident and I'm not being the guys like my team's awesome, because I know the Niners have their deficiencies. They do look great, they do hold their own path to the playoffs. They could be the one seed if they win out. All I'll say is this Indianapolis. The only advantage they have is there at home. Other than that, if the forty nine Ers in a playoff run where they have a chance to win out and possibly Week eighteen could be against the Seahawks or a one seed. If you don't beat a forty four year old guy that hasn't butt in five years, you deserve nothing. So Niners cover the four and a half or five and a half, whatever it is, Go Niners, Monday Night Football. I'm going home, not to watch the holidays. Suckers are even there, Chi baby see
