Let's go you s A and USA USA. This could be you know, Enrich live from La be rocking out. Yeah, so listen. Also, a big day for the NFL. It would be crazy if we didn't start with a lot of free agency chatter. L NFL is a bonkers As Rich keeps saying again, you can stream us live. We're streaming live as we speak. Feedback coming in. Gotta bomp the YouTube chat. Remember Bonkers the candy. I was thinking that as soon as you said that, bonkers.

00:01:29
Speaker 1: Do you remember that?

00:01:30
Speaker 2: Of course they were like, uh, like chewy sort of high choose. They're like high choose right before high choose. Do you know what high choos are? High choose what I consider like the bootleg Starburst? Right, they're not boot I think they're Japanese, aren't they.

00:01:45
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:01:45
Speaker 1: I don't think they're bootleg at all. You're that bonkers. You're right.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: Bonkers was a big eighties candy. But yeah, NFL's bonkers, and we'll explain why. Like Dan Bayer dropping more nuggets. I heard a Gardner Minshew in there. I didn't know that he's a cardinal now, so Cavino, Rich, Danny g Sam and of course the consummate professional, the great Dan Byers.

00:02:05
Speaker 1: Are you're a Linda Mom in there too? Did I hear it?

00:02:07
Speaker 2: Yes? I mean, my goodness, it's one of those days where how do I I'm trying to think of an analogy and I can't even think of one where if you dip away for a little bit, you come back and you're like, wait, what happened while I don't know, went to the bathroom?

00:02:21
Speaker 1: Catch me up to speed again? What was that? Where are we? Was I in a coma for an hour? What's up? dB?

00:02:26
Speaker 2: Hey?

00:02:26
Speaker 1: You doing buddy?

00:02:28
Speaker 4: It's truly like the Black Friday shopping of back in the day, Like where if you were to go shopping a Friday at like two o'clock in the afternoon, everything's gone, Like all of the stuff that happened happened in the first three hours of the day or of the store opening, and there's more stuff pouring in now. But it's only been five hours since this window is open, and it's just been a barrage of news.

00:02:49
Speaker 1: About it too.

00:02:50
Speaker 2: Of course, you know free agency, I get it, but you know, we're so hyped on baseball and how electric it looks with the WBC right now, Like, man, look at these Latin countries, these Latin players showing us how it's done.

00:03:01
Speaker 1: Look at the excitement.

00:03:02
Speaker 2: Baseball's back, not that it isn't, but NFL starts making these moves and it goes right back to the NFL.

00:03:08
Speaker 1: Remember who was the King? Is just like that.

00:03:11
Speaker 2: NFL pretty much gave a sarcastic laugh, like, oh you want attention.

00:03:15
Speaker 1: Well, that's cute. You guys are celebrating. It's like Tom Brady tall and Logan Paul he's athletic.

00:03:20
Speaker 2: Oh that's cute, right, And because of all these bonker moves that we're going to go over, we'll do some Showtime Mahomes trivia today, your chance to win some prizes, a seeing our prize pack of mini nerve footballs and coozies and radio swag. But ours is next level dope, so stick around for that.

00:03:38
Speaker 3: You think our broke Mahomes is going to be braggadocious about his new running.

00:03:42
Speaker 2: Back, he's gonna have to be, yeah, I would imagine, So yeah, Showtime Mahomes. We'll talk to him later and get the scoop from him, because again, moves are being made.

00:03:51
Speaker 1: Now let's go over some of these moves.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: Let's you know what it's like, Rich, well for me on the rock side of things, right, you know, people are freaking out about I'll get the sphere. Yes, you know, not only are Rich and I here every day our favorite place to be on Fox Sports Radio, but we also host music channels Rich does pop stuff.

00:04:10
Speaker 1: I do rock stuff. Right.

00:04:13
Speaker 2: It seems like every three minutes there's an update on what's going out Metallica at the sphere. So there's one minute, I'm like, yep, they just announced three more dates. Wait, check that they just announced seven more dates. Wait, check out that they just announced ten more dates at the sphere. It's like every time I say something, there's an update because people are freaking out about it. Today's a day where Dan Bayer is really probably refreshing every two minutes, Oh with that adet are you are you on the refreshed today or what it is?

00:04:44
Speaker 4: I put my phone down, honestly, and three minutes later it's like ten new notifications.

00:04:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, of what has gone on, it's been it really.

00:04:53
Speaker 4: I mean, it slowed a little bit, but that's just, you know, relative to what we had in the first three hours of today.

00:04:59
Speaker 1: Let me let me give you the analogy.

00:05:01
Speaker 2: You know, in like junior high or high school, when you're the last, the last guy to like kiss a girl and you feel like, I feel like.

00:05:10
Speaker 1: You're speaking experience now. I was like middle of the pack. I made out in eighth grade.

00:05:15
Speaker 2: Eighth grade for me too. If you want to be honest, I feel like I was a little late myself. There were kids that were like kissing the playground in sixth grade, and you're like, yo, a little hoes.

00:05:23
Speaker 1: They also had full grown beards and mustaches.

00:05:25
Speaker 2: And then they're the people that didn't college. They look like they're ninety now too. Though, as my mom would say in Spanish, you start early and early, Yeah, they say, Mom said, if you had a beer in high school, you probably did. Oh no, but that guy looks like he's eighty five now. My point is, sometimes when you feel like everyone else is doing something that you're not. My brother hit me up today and he's a big Broncos fan and he's just sitting around being like, I guess, Like, I guess, no move's better than a bad move, right, I guess, And damn, I'm guess the Broncos are sort of not really.

00:05:56
Speaker 1: They didn't pull the trigger on anything big today, right, Yeah. The Broncos brought back JK. Dobbins, who's injury prone. That's what my brother's like. Yeah, we brought back a running back. I guess it's all right. Yeah.

00:06:07
Speaker 4: They lost John Franklin Myers defensive linemen to the Titans was one of the deal. But yeah, it hasn't been a hasn't been a busy day for Denver.

00:06:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: So I was like, there are teams out there that are like, yeah, we're not doing anything, and then there's teams.

00:06:20
Speaker 1: That are making moves where you're like, is it good? I don't know.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, And just to follow up on that, the teams, the Rams have been busy because they're acquiring of Trent McDuffie. They've done those sort of things, But the Seahawks have lost a bunch of players like you would expect. Patriots haven't been active, Broncos haven't been active. They're just fresh off making championship games, and maybe their organizations are in a better spot than others.

00:06:44
Speaker 1: Of course.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, the teams that just made it to the Super Bowl or to championship games are very they're there, You're right. The teams that are making big moves of the teams that are like, yo, we need to get there, it's like it's, you know, an opportunity for Dan's Seahawks, for those players to.

00:07:01
Speaker 1: Make a little money if they want to stray, right.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sort of what I hate about it. I understand it, but I hate that too. I knew that was coming.

00:07:07
Speaker 4: The Kenneth Walker one is the one where I think everybody's standing out saying whatever, but it's I have said, don't feel sorry for him because two months ago, and Rich knows this before Zach Scharboney got hurt, They're in a you know, in a in a basically running back by committee situation. And then Sharbonnay gets hurt in the game against the forty nine Ers, and Walker has three playoff games over one hundred yards, sets his mark from here to here on a contract good for him, right, and wins a Super Bowl and his Super Bowl MVP. So yeah, all good with Kenneth Walker the third More power to him.

00:07:40
Speaker 1: No doubt, no diggity, no doubt.

00:07:41
Speaker 2: In fact, as a forty nine Ers fan, of course I'm getting texted all morning, like yo, Mike Evans. But the one little, one little rub, the one little is that the Niners are an aging team and you got a thirty two year old wide receiver coming off a banged up season.

00:07:58
Speaker 1: So Mike Evan said, I got gas left in the tank.

00:08:01
Speaker 2: Ricky Piersoll saying I got to come back year ahead of your way. So as a Niners fan, I guess I can.

00:08:06
Speaker 1: Only be pumped me. It's an upgrade.

00:08:07
Speaker 2: Mike Evans is better than any receiver they had in twenty twenty five, twenty six.

00:08:11
Speaker 3: You saw the meme or the gift I sent you. It says, and here's ayuk and he's like speeding on a freeway with a car flipping over car flipping.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's I mean, where Ayukos is another question too.

00:08:22
Speaker 1: We talked about that the other day.

00:08:23
Speaker 2: But as a Niners fan, there's a lot of people being like, oh, Mike Evans. I do think Evans is a sweet pick up for you guys, but he does feel like a really old thirty two, Like right now, when you just said he was thirty two, I thought he was like at least thirty six.

00:08:34
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, right?

00:08:35
Speaker 2: With injuries and just how long he's been around and been impactful, like, I feel like he's slowed down. I feel like he's still a great option for you guys if he stays healthy. And that's a big if. dB From a Seahawks fan perspective, do you look at it and say, oh, the Niners got an old wide receiver or do you say, oh, they just got better.

00:08:52
Speaker 1: I think they got an old wide receiver. Yea, I don't.

00:08:54
Speaker 2: I don't want to think that either too, Like there's a part of me that as a as a fan, wants to be like, that's right, Mike Evans, he's the man, and I'm like, oh man, the problem with the Niners is like Trent Williams is getting all kittles on the back nine, Like you know, how many good years does McCaffrey have left, So you're thinking, I'm thinking, as a Niners fan, this is one of those like now it's almost like do or die, like they better get the job done or else.

00:09:18
Speaker 1: We're looking at a whole new team in a couple of years.

00:09:21
Speaker 4: And it's tough to argue where they were because they were in contention for a division crown up until Week eighteen. But I just I just don't think even with Bosa coming back, he's coming back off an injury, and Fred Warner obviously was going to play, if they could have advanced further, but they just need to get younger, and I don't think spending twenty million dollars on a wide receiver, to Kvino's point, that has been around forever and is now having injury history, he was hurt this past year, was hurt you know, a year or two ago as well. So I just don't understand that thought process in trying to catch not only the Seahawks but the Rams as well.

00:09:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I feel like Mike Evans played during the Clinicton administration. I feel like, Yeah, definitely feels that way. So again, moves are being made. We haven't even gotten Danny G's reaction on Max Crosby. Dude, I mean, were you prepared, like mentally prepared for that, Yes, as we talked about it time coming. Yeah, Friday, Yeah, we kind of knew it was coming. It was very bittersweet. But then today Raider Nations celebrating as they shore up that O line, which was the emphasis this offseason, of course, because if you're gonna use that number one pick on Fernando Mendoza, you got to protect your assets. It's like a divorce. You knew that was coming anyway, So everyone's like, dude, I'm so sorry. You're like, yeah, we've been uh living in separate houses for the past year.

00:10:41
Speaker 1: We're good. Yeah, I'm good on it.

00:10:42
Speaker 3: But then to sign away center Tyler Linderbaum from the Ravens. It almost feels like you got two first round picks and a player from the Ravens, which is kind of cool.

00:10:52
Speaker 2: Danny g when you look at where the Raiders. We said this on Friday, we sort of called it. We said, there's a strategy to getting rid of even though he's such a great player. You know, Max Crosby and the Ravens needed to do something on defense. They needed to show something because the Ravens, it makes sense.

00:11:08
Speaker 3: For them, they've lost games because of their lack of a pass rush.

00:11:12
Speaker 2: I mean correctly if you think I'm wrong, but first round draft picks are of very high value. But I feel like so many times it's when you're looking for your next quarterback, like you want, like when you're looking for that franchise guy. They got Lamar Jackson's that's their guy for the foreseeable future, and then you got Max Crosby, who is arguably, you know, the face of your defense moving forward for a while. I think it made sense for both sides because the Raiders weren't there yet, so Max Crosby could have you could arguably have said, by the time he's by the time they're ready, Max Crosby might be old. And by the way, Kittle, I just saw welcome Mike Evans to the Bay.

00:11:53
Speaker 1: No.

00:11:53
Speaker 2: I think that's good, but like you said, it doesn't give him a lot of wiggle room. It's like a now sort of situation.

00:11:59
Speaker 4: Sorry, do you see the Lamar Jackson tweet to Dan Rolofski, Please chack. This was five hours ago. This was after an episode or whatever of Get Up that Dan Rolofsky was on, and Orlofsky quote tweeted it and said, got to get it done. It's been that way, it's even greater now on the show said that no more excuses for Lamar. Lamar tweeted Dan, There's never There's has never been excuses for Lamar though, And I thought it was interesting that that Lamar, you know, would respond to that.

00:12:29
Speaker 1: Sort of thing.

00:12:30
Speaker 4: And I think that it is in two camps, like do you provide excuses for Lamar Jackson? Or have you never provided excuses for Lamar Jackson? But now he loses his center that they get a defensive end and they're saying, you know, now this is all on Lamar's shoulders. Well you just lost your yeah, right, So, like Lamar Jackson's living in this world where it's never ever going to be fair for him.

00:12:50
Speaker 1: That is true. That's those two teams. And then I'll be honest.

00:12:54
Speaker 2: We've talked about all these things and not one of us has said the three letter name. Well, it's way more than three, but we don't want to be like President Trump and mess the name up.

00:13:02
Speaker 1: So I'll just say, uh to uh, how do you say that they're President Trump? Come on, Sam, where's your quick fingers? What do you do over there? Mister ninety nine million dollar cap hit? I'm trying to find it here. How do you not have an understand?

00:13:17
Speaker 2: Oh?

00:13:17
Speaker 1: Here it is here? It is Jesus Sam toua tag o volley. Ah possible. I mean it's not official official, but Falcons one year, one year minimum deal, right yeah, bbre right yep.

00:13:29
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a you know, grand opening, grand closing sort of story.

00:13:35
Speaker 1: I don't know, one year minimum town.

00:13:36
Speaker 2: But also, what does that say that your your love and faith in Michael Pennix Junior?

00:13:40
Speaker 1: Was it?

00:13:40
Speaker 2: The whole reason Kirk Cousins was all angry and kicked aside was because it's like, well, well they drafted Pennix Junior and now you get Tua.

00:13:48
Speaker 1: It seems like confusion a little bit. No, Yes, I agree again, but major risk to take Tua.

00:13:54
Speaker 2: That's why Kyler Murray was always the I thought better option when those two names are thrown around because he's so concussion prone or you don't know where he is. Is he willing to protect himself? He wasn't even willing to wear what are those helmets called? I always forget guardian willing to wear a Guardian captist dude, So that's that's a question mark in itself.

00:14:15
Speaker 3: And then for Finns fans, they get quarterback Malik Willis, who showed a lot of promise last season in his spot for Arthur.

00:14:21
Speaker 1: But aren't they is yours?

00:14:23
Speaker 3: Not that?

00:14:23
Speaker 1: I mean? Is that off the table? Is there confusion there too?

00:14:27
Speaker 4: Everything is new and the new pieces that the Dolphins brought in were from Green Bay. Jeff Affley, the defensive coordinator, John Eric Sullivan, their general manager, so there was familiarity with that. It's funny because I would totally expect Danny to walk in today and say Tyler Linderbaum the biggest signing. And I think there's an argument Cavino saying Kenneth Walker the third Like what a shock that was agreed Mike Evans. I think could be the biggest headline, and I think it's Malik Willis because I think he's the only one that's going to be a starting.

00:14:52
Speaker 1: Quarterback in the National Football League.

00:14:54
Speaker 4: Of what happened, you know what happened today, Like Minshew's going to Arizona, maybe gonna fight for a job or whatever's gonna happen. But the Dolphins have decided that Malik Willis basically is going to be their starting quarterback. And I think beating out quin yours. You don't pay him that sort of money to just what did they pay him? If you don't give me seven and a half million, So it's not it's not over how many three years.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: That's a big that's a big leap of faith. No, I'm not saying it's correct. It's a very good way to put it. He's not breaking the bank, you're not paying him forty million dollars, but you're still giving him enough money to be like, Okay, you should be the guy I was absent on Friday? Did a note by the way, or no, I brought in a doctor's out to big Mic because he runs this place. Where's I was like, I'm sorry, man, I was actually celebrating my parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary, so oh with Steve Gott soon that all last week too. Yes, Steve Gotta has been celebrating as well. I appreciate that. So congratus to big Steve and Ortensia fifty years. Man. So I took Friday off because that was the big party day. I had to make my way to San Diego. Did you talk about how all these moves just ruined Joe's life? You know, with Max Crosby in the division now and I believe they play twice, right, Yeah, of course. So did you mention how like with the Steelers with all these pass rushers, like, what a nightmare it is for Joe Burrow moving forward? I was, I was gonna say, besides Joe Burrow having all these pass rushers now in his division, on top of that, he's not sleeping with Jessica album and he's not with There was a rumor that him and Alba We're hanging out of casino in the middle of the night, and I think he had.

00:16:28
Speaker 3: The worst weekend and he was sitting next to her, But it was for a promotion at the casino.

00:16:32
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, But you know what, one minute, you know, one minute you were Jessica Alba, the next minute you're not. You're not with her, believe it or not. And you have to face Max Crosby twice here. All right, there's breaking news.

00:16:42
Speaker 1: Let's go shocking. Let's go to be breaking news from Fox Sports.

00:16:48
Speaker 4: I'm gonna need Sam to play it after I tell you this bit of news again. Travis Kelcey and the Chiefs have worked out a deal he will return for a fourteenth season. But there's even more.

00:17:00
Speaker 1: Breaking news from Fox four.

00:17:02
Speaker 4: The NBA has just announced they have canceled the hawks plans for Magic City Nights on March sixteen. In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said, quote, when we became aware of the Atlanta hawks scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawk's leadership to better understand their plans. In rationale, well, we appreciate the team's perspective and their desire to move forward. We have heard significant concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners, and employees. I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.

00:17:37
Speaker 2: Ah And Luke Cornett doesn't he get any props because he was the one of the first guys that spoke out the dude from the spurs.

00:17:44
Speaker 1: If he started, he would get booed.

00:17:46
Speaker 2: In Atlanta, I saw our old pal, Michelle Beadle was saying that, you know, women, we don't need you Luke Cornett to be our spokesperson. Really that Magic City is more than just a strip club, and people that know the NBA know that it's know that it's like a staple.

00:18:01
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:18:01
Speaker 2: I could see his side of it completely. I'm not saying it was the fun side to be on. But if you're also in partnership with the WNBA, or you own the WNBA and you're trying to, I don't know, bring some empowerment to women. I don't know if a strip club night is the greatest look. I know there's more to it, but at first glance, it does make you go, I know they have great wings.

00:18:26
Speaker 1: We just proved something. By the way, this is amazing. I just just.

00:18:29
Speaker 2: Sam, I need one of the others come on breaking news. No, you can't abuse them, I can you gotta one time. Oh you gotta give Rich a clown horn or something.

00:18:40
Speaker 1: Breaking news from Fox Sports for the first time in three years.

00:18:46
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey was a breaking story, but something else took precedence.

00:18:50
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Dan.

00:18:52
Speaker 2: Byer said, Travis Kelcey and Magic City. And we leaned to the newdie Bar well because it's our show and we've probably been harping on it for thee Yeah, that's Rich's breaking news.

00:19:01
Speaker 1: Hey, Rich Davis has breaking news.

00:19:03
Speaker 3: Sam, Hey, guys, And it was just a couple of days ago that Killer Mike came out defending Magic City night Cameron fired back about it, and we mentioned on the show last week it wasn't just Luke Cornette. Al Horford also joined in on Yeah.

00:19:18
Speaker 2: Look again, it's like a corny sign to take, like relax, it's just strip club like. It's not the greatest message to send the families and young women. It's just not Is that hypocritical of us sleazy men? Yeah, sure it is, But I mean there is truth to what's being said. You know what do as I say, not as I do? Is that the great Rich Davis? You know, two things can be true. Sure, it's fun and wings and entertainment and TI and yeah, we're just celebrating an Atlanta institution. Or you could say, yeah, there's a lot of women there with broken dreams and hardships and it's a strip club.

00:19:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not try to glorify.

00:19:57
Speaker 3: I think we were trying to move past some of that stigma we talked about last week. And I could make the argument could be true, true, and I could make the argument, my fifteen year old looks at way worse things right now on social media and YouTube.

00:20:08
Speaker 1: I mean that is true.

00:20:09
Speaker 2: But but yes, at the end of the day, agree in fact, the beginning, middle, end, at all parts of the day. Yeah, why just the end of the day. I don't know why people say that, I'm gonna harp on the in the middle of the day.

00:20:19
Speaker 3: And Enrich, there was nothing for her eyes to look at if she was in attendance of that Hawks game, because there's no dancers down on the field.

00:20:25
Speaker 1: But Danny Court.

00:20:26
Speaker 2: But Danny g We live in a world now where if someone's like, yeah, you know, uh, you know Mike and Mike and the Cindy's daughter has an OnlyFans page, you're second Brad.

00:20:39
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be like, oh, good for her, Like we're we're supposed to just be like, yeah, that's cool.

00:20:46
Speaker 2: It's it's it's not kind in twenty twenty six to to maybe be real, right, like you can't strip your shame shame, you should shame. But you know, like I said, respectfully, it doesn't thank you Gary Vaynerchek either.

00:21:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:21:01
Speaker 2: Like when some girls like, yeah, well guess what I got and she's flunting her money and showing her past ups from only fans.

00:21:07
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, like I don't love if she'd be so proud of that. Look. I get it's meant to be fun. It was a bit of a downer, you know.

00:21:14
Speaker 2: We we let the uh the Louke Cornetts of the world win. You thought you were gonna get away with one, you didn't. I'm okay with the decision. To be honest, you got to bring some something back to the middle.

00:21:27
Speaker 1: We can't be so rogued. Let's call a spade a spade.

00:21:31
Speaker 2: You can't have a strip club night and be like, yeah, guys, it just wings it like fun. I mean, it's still a strip club.

00:21:36
Speaker 3: It's like it's like when it's to the city is called Magic City, which is as much as a hot spot and a place to go to as it is for the guys that want to go.

00:21:49
Speaker 2: What's the most successful league that we promote here, NFL in radio and sports and the NFL family fun is what they lean into most. And I get it their hypocritical to some of the things they allow as far as what players get away with sometimes in their personal lives. But they market family friendly, family first.

00:22:07
Speaker 1: NBA can't.

00:22:08
Speaker 3: They got to follow that bluepot or the ticket prices aren't family friendly.

00:22:11
Speaker 1: People got to keep it real.

00:22:12
Speaker 2: Bell, you know, you not to get controversial, but you ever see like us trying to be like, well, Magic City, I mean it's really more of a strip club. I mean it's a strip club, guys, let's be honest. The same way you ever see like one of these people in front of Congress where they're being acid.

00:22:24
Speaker 1: It's like can a man have a baby? And the person's like wow, I mean a technical I hear you.

00:22:28
Speaker 3: But the pushback is what other city in our country do we call by the name of a club strip club? Yeah, you've even said, oh, this year we're going to Magic You called it magic City.

00:22:39
Speaker 1: When it Magic City?

00:22:41
Speaker 2: That because we're honoring the city they're they're honoring the strip club.

00:22:45
Speaker 1: That's the only difference.

00:22:46
Speaker 2: They're honoring the cultural institution known as the strip club in that city.

00:22:50
Speaker 3: I just do that it's a big part of that city. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying it's a huge part of it is.

00:22:55
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like, should we be glamorizing that? Hey, you know what, We'll take your thoughts, your thoughts. We try to be open.

00:23:02
Speaker 2: I like Rich said last week when we talked about this, two things can be true.

00:23:07
Speaker 1: Have we been there? Yes? Do we think it's the greatest family fun promotion? Would I go?

00:23:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I go to Vegas. I know what I think is great Sapphire, great club. But when I went there with my mom, we saw secreta roy No, we saw that. We saw Penn and Teller. Your thoughts they caved in the NBA. Did the NBA do the right thing or the weak thing? What are your thoughts? I think we meet ours clear. I understand the decision. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is our number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I just think the NBA heard all this NFL noise. Dan Buyer and all your breaking news that they like, guys and baseball to our Baseball Classic.

00:23:45
Speaker 1: We need to do something. Yeah, they try to make it disappear along with Magic City.

00:23:48
Speaker 2: There go look at that can I can I tell you guys one thing and I'm going to pose a question and I'm I know we're running late. You know what, I'll save it. It has to do with strippers.

00:26:30
Speaker 2: NFL making moves, making moves like Rich Davis nearly two thousands. You should have seen this guy's moves. Oh man, oh boy, what a creep Rich was in nearly two thousands. Oh hey, we're on the here, Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. So many moves in the NFL. We didn't even mention Pittman Junior, did we. He's a Steeler? Now, well, does that mean Aaron Rodgers if he returns, has a pretty good receiving car on his hand?

00:26:53
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I think that's bait. Right.

00:26:55
Speaker 2: Hey, we got some big names, and what do you think Aaron Rodgers Pittsburgh gonna be very interesting? This year, moves are being made in the division that's going to be competitive yet again. And by the way, that's more reason to stick around for Dan Meyer's update, because you never know when breaking news is gonna happen.

00:27:48
Speaker 1: By the way.

00:27:48
Speaker 2: Leap of faith, Yeah, Dan Byer liked my phrasing. Leap of faith not only a good Steve Martin movie the You're working for Jesus Now Leap of Faith, great movie with Steve Martin, but also what Indiana Jones had to do in the last crusade.

00:28:04
Speaker 1: A leap of faith.

00:28:05
Speaker 2: Is what the Dolphins are doing with Malik Willis in this contract. I saw a stat that Malik Willis has only had one hundred and fifty five career pass attempts. What you're talking about Willis and he's never had a game with more than twenty three pass attempts.

00:28:20
Speaker 1: Now, we know he's mobile and athletic, but yo.

00:28:23
Speaker 2: Three year sixty seven mil As dan Bayer said, it's it's not big time money. But it's not like, oh, we're trying this out money. It's like, we're committing to this guy at a good bargain for a team because if they could win with a quarterback only making that amount of money, well, that's the blueprint, right, That's that's the blueprint, that's the goal.

00:28:45
Speaker 1: Anyway.

00:28:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, jeez, So moves are being made. What stands out to you and the other side note is how crazy it is that the NFL is still making headlines when baseball's electric, right well, trying to infiltrate with their canceling of Magic City Night and then we get the breaking news that Magic City Night is canceled, and that proofs that proves two things hold on, that morality still exists, or.

00:29:10
Speaker 1: You could say that's lame and that's fine too. I don't care. There's two sides to this and both could be true.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: But Danyg also pointed out we were speculating, don't promotions have to be run through the NBA as an organization or could teams just do what they want?

00:29:24
Speaker 1: Willy nilly.

00:29:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna have stripper Night, and I think that proves the question at hand.

00:29:29
Speaker 1: When we debated it, We're like, do they get any sort.

00:29:32
Speaker 2: Of approval here? And apparently they put the Kai bash on it. Is it true though, that Magic City Night was gonna give away a bubble ass or no bobble ass.

00:29:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's canceled. They canceled it.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: Ye, maybe we should get the the shipment and make them Covino and Rich bobble asses.

00:29:47
Speaker 1: We'll hand them out to put your head on. What are they gonna do with all that inventory?

00:29:50
Speaker 2: I don't know, but uh, it got me thinking of something I saw today, and I said, I had a funny story about strippers that's not slimy or weird. I think you guys will get a kick out of it. This is a real story out of the New York Post today. Bridesmaids swear on a new trend at bachelorette parties that are even better than a stripper.

00:30:12
Speaker 1: Did you see the same story? No, I missed this one. I don't get stripper alerts like you do.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Move aside, oiled ump, oiled up like thundered down on the hunks. They're saying, the new trend of bachelorette parties.

00:30:26
Speaker 1: I got it.

00:30:26
Speaker 2: I know it is Penis Straws. No, that has been the forever, that's been the thing. Yeah, that's that's the already there. You ever ever see a bachelorette party when you're like in like Nashville and Vegas, Atlantic City anyway, God.

00:30:41
Speaker 1: That's all you see? My goodness, where do they make all that stuff? Is that why you got a three D printer? Yeah? I'm going in business. The new bachelorette party trend. I'm not even joking. Magicians. Really they're saying. They're saying, and nothing scandalous, sleazy or anything.

00:30:57
Speaker 2: They're saying, the new trend isn't realizing a lot of bachelor party He's like, we want to have like entertainment with the girls and instead of hiring strippers, there's a massive trend in magicians. Well that's big news from our for our buddy magic Mark and our other captain Crossbones. All your magic friends are gonna be I guess.

00:31:18
Speaker 1: Mark, he works here, right? No? We actually yeah, we're friends. Would got an we know we got any magic of work. He's a magician. He's a great entertainer, Magic marker.

00:31:26
Speaker 2: Hey, Matt, Look, if you're ever at a corporate event or at a party and there's a magician there.

00:31:30
Speaker 1: It's great.

00:31:31
Speaker 2: Yo a magician one star search on Netflix, TJ salta Grate has been shifted from spectacle to an actual connection and fun like that. So magicians, apparently that's kind of a lame party though, because think about it these you know what I mean, if you're going for, if you're if you're thinking bachelor party or bachelor party, you're thinking like some craziness.

00:31:55
Speaker 3: No, I can't help now, but you ruined it for me. COVID know that story you told about your friend the neighborhood who had a magician.

00:32:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah it was.

00:32:04
Speaker 2: We were in junior high and everyone was sort of feeling like they were cool and trying to make moves. And when you start if people start having like girlfriends or crushes and like you're a little too cool for your parents, like.

00:32:14
Speaker 1: Preteen, you know.

00:32:15
Speaker 2: The mom busted out and stopped the party and he said, guys, we got a big surprise. And the kid was like, no, mom, no, and we're like the whole party stopped. She's like, guys, it's Ian's favorite. Let's make some noise. Round of applause for Captain Crossbones. And Captain Crossbones came out start making blue animals. We were like teenagers and it was the weakest thing ever. The kid never recovered. That kid never showed up to school again. I think his life was rowing. Then homeschool, he went from my cool kid to like he was the lamest kid ever. You know, it has a bit of a stigma, is the I'm just saying point here, but it is fun. You can make fun of all you want, but the reality is, have anyone has anyone ever been to a corporate event, a dinner party somewhere, if there's a magician.

00:33:00
Speaker 1: I love it amazing, Yeah I do.

00:33:02
Speaker 2: So. The reality is you can make fun of it, but it's sort of funny to think that bachelor and bachelore parties are hiring magicians.

00:33:08
Speaker 1: Now strippers help that.

00:33:10
Speaker 2: Poor junior high student now no, but I think there's a time and place. I think if you're young and you're dumb, you want the strippers. If you're a little older, a little more mature, yeah, maybe like you know, a dude's trip you were going fishing, or for women.

00:33:26
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, we got a magician. I think there's a time and place magician for those things.

00:33:30
Speaker 2: By the way, it's like, not a dirty magician. It's not like, watch me make this disappear. Stripping magician. Yeah, best of both worlds. You know, maybe the magician comes out in strips and where did he pull that out of his hat?

00:33:44
Speaker 1: His hat, his hat. Let's remind everybody how we got here.

00:33:50
Speaker 2: They canceled, they meaning Atlanta, the Atlanta Hawks, thanks to a Magic City night. They were playing the Orlando Magic on March sixteen. The NBA put a Kish on a night that was celebrating not necessarily stripper culture. It was meant to be like the institution, the cultural landmark known as Magic City, but it did rub you know, some people the wrong way. Well, with that said, let's get all our updates and we'll talk more NFL. We'll see what's going on the big day free agency and some world Baseball Classic. We'll give away some prizes. Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update. dB, what's up man?

00:34:28
Speaker 4: I was all for the promotion. I said, why not go ahead with it? But I also thought that ten years from now we would have been like remember when the NBA allowed that to happen? But one of those things, and now they didn't. As you mentioned, the Magic City Night promotion has been canceled, so the Hawks and Magic a week from tonight will not have that promotion going on in Atlanta. A lot going on in Atlanta right now, as the Falcons are sending to a Tongue of Ailoa to a one year deal. He was let go by the Dolphins. It'll be official later on this week. The Dolphins sound Packers quarterback Milik Willis to a three year, sixty seven and a half million dollar contract. There are so many signings today, I feel like I'm leaving out certain signings. And it's not that they're not important, it's just there's so much happening. I mentioned the Dolphins and Malik Willis and then Tua going to Atlanta on a one year deal. Mike Evans is leaving Tampa the twelve year vet signing a three year deal with the forty nine Ers. Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker the third is signing with the Chiefs. Well Travis Kelcey is back with the Chiefs for a fourteenth season. He has a contract that'll pay him twelve million dollars next season. Incentives could push it up to fifteen million dollars. Senator Tyler Linderbaums now the highest paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history. Raiders gave him a three year deal worth eighty one million dollars. Raiders also signed defensive end Quitdy Pay, formerly of the Colts, to a three year deal, and wide receiver Jalen Naylor. Panthers are signing former Egos EDG rusher Jalen Phillips. The Jaguars signed running their former Jaguars running back Travis Etn excuse me, is signing with the New Orleans Saints. So Etn goes to New Orleans on a four year, fifty two million dollar deal. You guys talked about it earlier. Colt straated Michael Pittman junior to this after they gave wide receiver Alec Pierce a four year, one hundred and fourteen million dollar extension. The Commander signed edge rusher a do fay all Way to a four year deal worth one hundred million dollars. You wanted some Broncos news that he not only resigned JK. Dobbins, but they also resigned linebacker Alex Singleton. Seahawks re signed cornerback Josh Joe, but saw Boy and Mafe leave for the Cincinnati Bengals, and safety Kobe Bryant is signing a three year deal with the Bears. Jets signed linebacker to Mario Davis to a two year deal. Giants are signing as a likely to a three year contract. Titan signed former Giant Wandale Robinson to a four year, seventy million dollar deal. Fernando Tatis Junior our Grand slam as The Dominican Republic toped Israel in the World Baseball Classic ten to one. Brazil defeated Great Britain eight one, Columbia over Panama four to three in Korea, best at Australia seven to two, US and Mexico eight Eastern Non.

00:36:50
Speaker 1: Fox, damn did Dan Barr just cover a bunch? Thank you?

00:36:53
Speaker 3: Damon?

00:36:54
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, geev. Isn't funny how money works in sports?

00:36:57
Speaker 2: Like, one minute you're signing huge contracts, in the next minute you're playing for the league minimum. I'm reading that to a one point three million dollars one year deal.

00:37:05
Speaker 1: Possibly.

00:37:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, it also helps that the Dolphins pay him fifty four million dollars, so of course.

00:37:10
Speaker 2: But I'm just simply saying, like on the books, like you go from a guy with some monstrous contract to like one year, one mill on.

00:37:16
Speaker 1: The book, so correct.

00:37:17
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Malik Willis gets three years sixty seven. It's just, oh man, the way they manipulate to their advantage. This cap stuff is amazing to me. And speaking of the NFL show time on Homes Trivia Next hour.

00:39:10
Speaker 1: It's magic city.

00:39:11
Speaker 2: Hey, so the Stripper Knight was canceled anywhere? Say Covino and Richt say magic. Yes, yes, that is Rich Davis, Steve Covino, Danny G is our super producer, and Danny G just informed us Rich that Thursday here on the show is SGA Day. You know SGA is SGA Days. And when he came out with his ridiculous yetti outfit, his like fur coat, that bigfoot like jacket that he had on, of course we had a built in clearness. Are we're wearing it now? If you're watching Covino and rich FSR on YouTube, Like remember when he just so casually, nonchalantly, like no one would notice, came out with like a full on what do you call this a furry outfit? Well, in tribute to SGA and his cool look in his bold ways, we're gonna have SGA Day and we're not gonna go over the top unless you want to, let's do it. But really the point is, what's that thing in your closet or wardrobe that you got that you're just too chicken to wear right like because you know your boys are gonna make fun of you, or it's a little over overboard. Uh, that'll be Thursday, so more reason to follow us on YouTube so you could watch what you hear Covino and rich fs are and why don't you make that bold move on Thursday with us? All right, SGA day on Thursday. Two quick notes and then we got to play the day. I wanted to point out I saw a fun not a funny and interesting meme. I think we should all keep in mind. You can apply to sports if you want. It's uh, just how social media and scrolling ruined your life. It's you're who was a woman saying looking at herself in the mirror. You're not ugly. You're just on your phone too much. Your relationship isn't stale, you're just on your phone too much. Your vacation didn't stink. You're just on your phone much. Your house isn't outdated, You're just on your phone too much. Just insinuating a reminder. Your kids aren't ugly, You're just on your phone too much.

00:41:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: Like, the reality is that we are in a world of comparison, and you're not that overweight. You're just on your phone too much and had too many nachos. Yeah, but the reality is a comparison is a thief of joy. As they say, so stop scrolling and comparing your life to everyone else's.

00:41:26
Speaker 1: Right, that being said.

00:41:26
Speaker 2: Following us at Covino and Rich, we're lacking in the Fox Sports Radio studio. Everything at Fox Sports Radio, and it's time for our tire Raq Play of the Day. Austin Reeves and Luca were both hitting the long bombs yesterday.

00:41:40
Speaker 1: Gotcha, It's defended.

00:41:41
Speaker 2: By Ananobi three minutes into quarter number three, Loka with one has to put it on Lakers beat the next one ten ninety seven. That was courtesy of ABC and that was our tirect Play the Day And for.

00:41:58
Speaker 1: Over forty years tire Iraq.

00:42:00
Speaker 2: They've been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. I like the Bronnie highlights in the G League. You know he was throwing down. I'm rooting for Bronnie James. Anytime I see a Bronnie James highlight, I want to see what he did well. Tirerac Ship Fast and Free back by free road has a protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerac dot com the way tire buying should be. And my other quick note I was gonna say, besides, you're not ugly, you're just scrolling too much on social media. Yeah, you know, we're excited about the World Baseball Classic tonight, USA and Mexico.

00:42:32
Speaker 1: Don't be sleeping on Mexico. Man. A lot of those guys eat too many tacos, but they can hit. Let me tell you.

00:42:39
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch eight pm Eastern, five Pacific, So get home after the show, go to the gym.

00:42:43
Speaker 1: Watch tonight.

00:42:45
Speaker 2: I saw that Trek Scooble is done with the World Baseball Classic. He's reporting back to the Tigers and we'll not pitch again for Team USA. And I see people chirping on social media, you like, play for Team USA.

00:43:01
Speaker 1: Where's your patriotism? What a jerk is that?

00:43:04
Speaker 2: Then you realize that here's a guy who is not under a long term deal, so he has a lot at stake.

00:43:09
Speaker 1: So you gotta understand. We'll talk about that more coming up right here.
