00:01:26
Speaker 2: Got some smack.

00:01:27
Speaker 1: Although my alarm's going off. I'm like Derek Jeter, Oh sorry, I had parent teacher conference. Did you see that too?

00:01:33
Speaker 2: I did.

00:01:33
Speaker 1: First time he looked like a human being. I was like, oh, wow, Geter's not a robot. I think Poppy Jeter a rod and our former colleague, the guy with the biggest bde we ever seen, Kevin Burkhart do a stellar job together.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we worked at.

00:01:50
Speaker 1: Burkhart back at SNY in New York in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, and he really did have noticeable swag and he was always gracious and always cool. No surprise that he's slaying it today. A super talent. Yeah, Kevin Burkharts and a guy that never let his success go to his head. If I text or DM keV, he'll hit me right back.

00:02:11
Speaker 2: Like can keV? Oh can tell Cove?

00:02:15
Speaker 1: I said, Hi, congrats to Kevin Burkhart for all success. But I do think that you're right. The Big Poppy is sort of MLB's versus a version of Shack.

00:02:26
Speaker 2: That's right. I cool be he, I cool be he.

00:02:29
Speaker 1: And he even had nice things to say about the Yankees yesterday. Even Jeter said wonderful things about another captain, which is to see in Aaron Judge. So I hope you had an Aaron Judge home run double take kind of night. When I say double take, that was his subliminal way of saying, shut up.

00:02:47
Speaker 2: Haters, Take a hike, you losers. Zip it.

00:02:51
Speaker 1: Anybody thinking that he wasn't the guy. If you thought he wasn't him, he is. And if I ever give you a double take, that's what I'm telling you. Beat it, loser. We're gonna get to Aaron Judge. We're gonna get to the NFL. We're gonna get to a guy that grew two inches. Whoa where that was me? After that home run last night. I was so excited, man, I thought he was gonna knock that foul pull down.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: Wow. I was so pumped. Got on a step stool in your living room?

00:03:22
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, yeah, that's that's it. Can had his own foul ball after that. Yeah, but seriously, I was so pumped. And I don't care if you like the Yankees or not, because I'll give props with her due. Vladimir Guerrero on the flip side is doing everything he can to lift his team. That dive to home plate, he got airtime, he was airborne.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: That big slug was in the air for at.

00:03:46
Speaker 1: Least two minutes, safe at home, getting his team fired up. The Blue Jays are battling. And if you can't give credit to Aaron Judge turning his hands on that inside fastball coming in at one hundred months pour a foot inside, turning and hitting a home run now was like a Carlton Fisk moment. Everything about is all I have to say. Everything about that moment from a baseball perspective was awesome. The call, the camera shot, the zoom in on Aaron Judge right before the pitch, that lock in his eye, the moment, everything, the crowd. I loved it. It was so cool man, so cool to see. And that's the beauty of the postseason ghost season baseball. Was that Joe Davis making that call. Yeah, it was that's a good he you know me. I love to swing from the Mets broadcast team, Gary Keith and Ron. But Joe Davis I think might be your best play by play guy in baseball. The Dodgers lucked out in getting Joe Davis. And he's a young dude. He's, as I believe, late thirties still, So congrats to Joe Davis on really paint a great picture and Vladdie's Grand Slam Judges three run home run. These are the great postseason moments we live for, and these are the moments we remember visually audibly. And I got to Dan Bayer because I know Dan Buyer's a rich Davis guy these days.

00:05:03
Speaker 2: What's up? dB? Oh? Believe me? What uh Bud? It's temporary. You can only take so much of rich. He's grating the year. Dan. I'll greade on you by the other today.

00:05:13
Speaker 1: You and I both have a big interest on in uniforms, helmets, end zones, stadium design.

00:05:19
Speaker 2: Like it so our little sports quirk.

00:05:22
Speaker 3: How do you feel.

00:05:22
Speaker 1: About And I am not a traditionalist with most things in sports. I usually like evolution and change. I feel like a lot of times it's good. Do you like alternate uniforms in the playoffs.

00:05:32
Speaker 2: No, the same.

00:05:34
Speaker 1: I said that all I'm watching the game now and I said, you know, I love it during the season, but why are the Mariners wearing like a Navy road jersey.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: I want to they should be wearing the road grays right now. Yeah, I agree with that.

00:05:46
Speaker 4: Like, what I don't mind is so like the Rose Bowl when it was the Rose Bowl. I remember when Purdue made it, they would have a little rose through the the p logo on their helmet. Lo Utah did the same thing, And like, there's little things that you can do there, but to sit there and say we're gonna wear our road black uniforms the alternates in a in a huge game because you want to be tough.

00:06:06
Speaker 2: And mean, no, just wear your normal uniforms. Yeah.

00:06:09
Speaker 1: I always think of one of the most memorable moments in NBA history Lebron James with that block off the backboard.

00:06:17
Speaker 2: The Calves are wearing their weird alternate jerseys with the big sea on them. I was just gonna say, that's the reason those because these are they live on. Yeah, forever, the cliffs live on.

00:06:25
Speaker 1: And if you're not wearing your traditional jerseys it's sort of odd looking back.

00:06:28
Speaker 2: I think if it's close enough, I don't care as much. Now.

00:06:31
Speaker 1: I know you guys eliminated the Red Sox, but you know, the Red Sox wear that hideous uniform. Once a while, I was like yellow and blue or something like. It just doesn't go with anything City connect Yeah.

00:06:40
Speaker 2: With their softball shorts.

00:06:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just feel like, in those moments, what are we doing? And by the way, uh, I don't want to steal Dan Buyer's update Thunder, but dB take a look.

00:06:51
Speaker 4: See, Yeah, the Tigers have just taken a four to nothing lead, or a four to three lead. Riley Green coming back from a three nothing deficits.

00:06:59
Speaker 1: And again another wonderful thing about the postseason. It's not just the Aaron Judges and the cal Rawleys that have to come through. And I believe Jeter made that point. Everyone given Judge a hard time. He was batting four hundred something. Now he's batting five hundred something and it is still not good enough. It takes the whole team, It takes the role players. You got Green here doing something big. You got Ernie Clement on the Blue Jays playing like he's an MVP. You got these dudes stepping up, and that's what these teams need. You need your Edmunds, you need your gays to step up. You need those dudes. And that's part of it, and that's the fun of it. And we hope you're enjoying it as much as we are. Because last night between cal Raley going off and between Aaron Judges almost foul home run, I mean, I don't know, I'm still cal Rawley for MVP, considering he hit his home run to a guy that had a shirt that said hit your home run here.

00:07:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, dump it here, dump it here, number sixty.

00:07:59
Speaker 1: That was pretty remark But you know, you gotta love this stuff and we'll talk more about it as the day goes on. Aaron Judge is coming through big. That really was the story. And if you're still hating on it or or moving the goalposts like that wasn't a big moment. Oh what kind of big moment happens in the Alds? I mean, beat it, dude, tell me you hate Aaron Judge. Without telling me you hate Aaron Judge. That was a big moment. Does it mean less if they don't move forward? Yeah, of course, but that was still a moment to shut everybody up. The guy's batting over five hundred now, so stop hating the little little meat even more. If the Yankees somehow win tonight for to force a Game five, and who knows, and it's a bullpen game for the Blue Jay So I'm thinking, and I'm not one to get ahead of myself, rich, I'm thinking that they have a great shot with Schlitler on the mount tonight to win it, force it back to Toronto and take the Yankees Blue Jays.

00:08:50
Speaker 2: Out of it. I want Game five for everybody. Let's go. You get a Game five, you get we all get game Why wouldn't we want that?

00:08:57
Speaker 1: MLB wants that, TV ratings, every but he wants a concessions wants it.

00:09:01
Speaker 2: It's fun for everybody.

00:09:03
Speaker 4: I do have a question for Cavino though, Yeah, because for a team like the Yankees, who pride themselves in the twenty seven World Championships, I felt that last night people were trying to make this the moment for Aaron Judge. It was a moment, but did you get the sense at all that people were going overboard in trying to make it the moment for Judge to cement his legacy.

00:09:29
Speaker 2: I feel you. I do. I totally feel you.

00:09:31
Speaker 1: And here's why I say no, because we love and I love, and I think everyone who's a baseball fan should love Aaron Judge that much. He's such a likable dude that you're just pulling for him to have his big moment because you know how great he is, you know what he's capable of. And I think he double took at the camera and pointed because he's like, I am that guy, and we all want him to be that guy. So maybe we are making more of a moment. But it was a key moment. Yankees were down six to one, they tied it up, and then the Yawning Jazzism hits their first go ahead, lead, go ahead home run, and then what was the score?

00:10:09
Speaker 2: Rich? Then what was SI excess? Six seven?

00:10:12
Speaker 1: I want to back with dB saying, and I don't want to rain. You don't want to rain on your Aaron Judge parade of fun. But if I hope this doesn't happen for your sake and for baseball, But if the Blue Jays win tonight, Yankees lose the series three to one, and nude Judge hit a three run home run.

00:10:30
Speaker 2: But I think that was his biggest.

00:10:31
Speaker 1: But I think for a guy will be finished, for a guy whose only real criticism has been well, dude, Aaron Judge is a Hall of Famer, already, legend, a beast, you know, one of the top probably twenty players of all time, maybe even better.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge is making his way. You're about to move the goalpost again.

00:10:49
Speaker 1: No, he hasn't had any signature big moment, so I think this is a great first signature big moment. Now you need more than that.

00:10:57
Speaker 2: You need to Okay, so you're moving a goal post, so now it's he Now.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: He needs five signature moments. You know, it's kind of surprising. This reminds me of how people were moving the goalposts on Party on Your Boy Rich a little bit. Yeah, Judge has had seventeen postseason home runs. You would not think that the way you tuned into Sports Team, I would have.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: Thought he was batting over four hundred.

00:11:18
Speaker 1: His postseason stats are better than Show Shoe Hail Tani's and show he is a hero. But Aaron Judges is a nobody, so zero, he's a zero. So if the biggest I wouldn't.

00:11:28
Speaker 2: Say that Kovina.

00:11:29
Speaker 3: I just think people make it seem like he has not hit many home runs at all in the playoffs.

00:11:33
Speaker 2: All right, I'm saying, don't fall for this trap.

00:11:36
Speaker 1: If his only criticism was he didn't have a big, big moment yet and then he did.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: What now he has to have another one? And it makes it happy. He can't do it. In my face, he.

00:11:45
Speaker 1: Can't do everything, and he's not tragically bad in the playoffs, Like remember when another one a Rod at one point clearly was just not the same guy in the postseason, and I always thought it was interesting, like what was that? Remember when Kirk Cousins just couldn't win a primetime game and he got that reputation. Aaron Judge isn't some guy that goes zero for four in every postseason game. And just the Yankees with Judge as their team leader, haven't really gone that far in the playoffs, and maybe the moment just wasn't there for him. But last night was the first big one. I think it's a step in the right direction. I don't think it's like, wow, Aaron Judge can't be called you know, Yeah, he still has to win a World Series and I get all that too, but Rich put yourself in the little kid's shoes right now, you know, the ones that light up and they're really excited about it. Sometimes little wheels on the button. Yeah, put yourself in some little kid shoes. How cool is it to see all these heroes stepping up, all these big names. We haven't seen names like this in the postseason since we were kids, man, And that's why it brings out so much fun here on the show and in all of us. So many young superstars stepping up, so many big names in the playoffs, so many great teams, And if you're a little kid, how could you.

00:12:54
Speaker 2: Not be swept into this?

00:12:55
Speaker 1: So, by the way, speaking of those, speaking of those alternate jerseys, yeah, Dann buy her your brewers who got to run around second are rocking the old school helmets and their alternate navy and uh, I guess she was a yellow gold dove.

00:13:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this says, I don't mind this look. This is a little bit more more natural.

00:13:15
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought the Blue Jays hats last night looked out of place. I agree.

00:13:18
Speaker 4: The white because they, you know, the white ones, I more took that for their home games when they would wear their all white uniforse.

00:13:26
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of all the smack talk and the back and forth talk and the moving of the goalposts and whatever spin you want to put on these things. How do you feel rich? I have a question for you and the Fox Sports Radio Nation. How do you feel about the razzers? Is that what you would call it? People that love to run really really good website? No, not that I said, yeah, what do you think about people? Let's say I have Blue Jays friends who Jay's friends. You're all your floppy headed down there teen eating Canadians and they're hitting you up in your DMS or sending you a text message with the nanny nanny poof poofs and like, yeah, your Yankee sucked you go down to me, still go poof poof, nanny, nanny pooh poof. What do you feel about razzing? Is it fun camaraderie? Is it what friends do? Is it just sports talk? Is it just how we behave as guys? Because I tune out, I say no, I'm allergic to it. I don't like it. I don't play those babies team good. I wish your team Danny. Have I ever razzed you about your Dodgers?

00:14:38
Speaker 2: Never know? And vice versa?

00:14:40
Speaker 1: Right, Like I think that's the weakest bs or is it good fun?

00:14:46
Speaker 2: And I take it too personal? I think Rich would agree with this.

00:14:48
Speaker 3: If a friend does it like good natured and is still supportive of you and your fandom, of your team, but it's just letting you have it and you can give it back a little bit, that's okay. But when people are just sitting there waiting to press enter on a mean message they want to send you.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: Just as you know, Danny, I always you engage with Razzi. Most people walk among among us. I ignore it. Guys, I'm too I'm too big for it. I'm like, get out here.

00:15:12
Speaker 1: I wish your team well, but get out of my face with your little nanny nanny poof pat. I also not only do it's like I'm too big for this, I'm too like I'm too mature for this. I always at the end of the day, in my mind, I'm like, listen, I didn't play the game, so you can only rasp me so much like I wasn't. I wasn't pitching for the Mets. I wasn't in the secondary for the forty nine ers. I wasn't the guy that I do look like a punter for you. I didn't blow that coverage in the third quarter or something. So I have so many people to try to rasp me about my stankies and how they're going down and they suck and Aaron judges over rate.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, dude, and I'm.

00:15:46
Speaker 1: Not right, and I want to get mean, like I got some mean stuff in my back pocket. I'm like, one more time, dude, I might say something about your mama, So relax on.

00:15:53
Speaker 2: That better man, You're better man than most.

00:15:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, I'm ignoring because I don't play these baby games. I think rasing baby games. Rassing is fu and I'll give you that. I have the one ruling caveat here. I don't think it is one ruling caveat now. I think you'd be a hurtful jerk if for no reason. Let's just say the Brewers. You know, somehow the Cubbies come back and in game five the Brewers blow it.

00:16:20
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?

00:16:21
Speaker 1: Called Dan Byron be like, hey man, what's the Brewer score? I missed it, but a hole, Yes, that's what I mean. So you come at me with this one too many times. I got some mean stuff in the holster for you. I don't know if you want to go there. So am I the sports baby or are you the sports baby playing these weak ass games? Don't poke the cove is when I'm getting I don't like I don't like the sport of.

00:16:42
Speaker 4: Ra Why you keep pointing to me, I've never raised you at all. It's about forgetting my team completely. Never it's not a form of razzing, just ignoring them entirely. I don't think any we're all professionals. I've ever heard any of us here have razzed each other.

00:16:55
Speaker 1: I almost feel like Dan Byer and I are almost too mature about our Niners Seahawks relationship, not about our team, about each other. We we RaSE each other personally, I guess as we get older, and not to sound like you're mature, but as we get older, you know, sports are such a great escape, and sports are something that bring us joy. Like I'll be honest, if my team's not in it, don't I want to see one of you guys happy, like I mean, I know that sounds like like overly.

00:17:18
Speaker 2: Mature sports, way too mature. You're not supposed to have.

00:17:22
Speaker 4: Don want any of my friends happy. I'm not going to raz them. I just don't want them to have the success of their teams winning.

00:17:28
Speaker 2: You just keep it inside. Yeah. Yeah. Some of Rich's Rich's high school friends who are Mets fans like him, will raz me about the Yankees. I'm like, shut, I get up.

00:17:39
Speaker 5: I get tired of the tribalism and like just territorial people being territorial and stuff. I just am more like, these are your teams, and I support you.

00:17:46
Speaker 2: You're my friend.

00:17:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think we're weirdos for that sound. Honestly, if you're an Iowa State fan, I'd be like, yeah, go to hell.

00:17:51
Speaker 2: But then then we I wug it out again. Io wasa Sam. I think we're too mature. I think this is you.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: Know sometimes no, but you know how sometimes when you and your friends have the same trade, you justify each other. Like in the two thousands, Cavino and I like, you cheat on your girlfriend, so do I? No, Like when you have bad traits but your friends have the same bad traits, You're almost like what he doesn't. I think we're a little too mature. Better than that, we're a little too mature. I was sam, because I think that we are irrational with sports. I heard our pal KFC on barstool, saying, how that's sort of the problem with politics, where we now treat politics the way you treat sports. His analogy was, even when the Yankees are in the World Series, he's a Mets fan, so he's.

00:18:32
Speaker 2: Like, Yankees suck.

00:18:33
Speaker 1: He's like, I know, Yankees don't suck, but like you're a rational as a fan, and we've sadly become that way with politics, us versus them. And it's a great point. But truthfully, Cavino, if my team is playing yours, I think there's a little razzing aloud. But I have no stock in the Blue Jays, So why would I want the Blue Jays, who I don't care at all about, to make you unhappy?

00:18:56
Speaker 2: Thank you Rich.

00:18:57
Speaker 4: That that's where you guys go above it beyond and not knowing you guys as long as you guys have known each other. That's what's always surprised me. I gave Cavino the business for what he did to me two years ago when the Seahawks lost to the Rams. Covino's opening, I hope you have a Raiders Mets sort of is like, hey, I hope you had a great weekend like my buddies did.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: Say, I hope all your teams.

00:19:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was so foreign to me, like like it was not that I would root against the Raiders or root against your Yankees or or Mets by any means. However, wanting your buddies to win, I may not rub it in their faces, but I don't know if I'm necessarily cheering for for what you know, their success.

00:19:40
Speaker 2: Well, if you're in Detroit, you're probably cheering.

00:19:42
Speaker 1: Gazavi Baias just went yard two run, dumah.

00:19:46
Speaker 2: Let me bring these dansele to my Mariners friends.

00:19:49
Speaker 4: I will also say this because you probably you probably don't have the Brewers game on since it doesn't matter to Cavino in the studio, they're up one nothing, heading to the boxet.

00:19:59
Speaker 2: Can you not put on the home Yeah, I said turn this off.

00:20:01
Speaker 1: Actually, you got all your games today and we'll break them down as the day goes on. So the question here, based on all the fun in the back and forth Razers, are they lame or not? Do you play that games? That's just part of the fun. What are your thoughts on that you can hit us up at Covino and Rich and then every Wednesday we do something called Midweek Major. So Spotty's on standby waiting just to say hi, and he's gonna give you all the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. And we decide here on the show are these stories mid week or major? Are they buns or are they peak stories? Well break it down, you know, interestingly enough. I think when it's done in spite again, Cavino, there's a part of me that wants to get like mean. There's some people that can get away with it right, but some people am like, I don't know you that.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: I have a story that I'll share real briefly.

00:20:54
Speaker 1: But I like, for my met fan friends today, you know, they said I got a tech. It's like today it could be a great day. Yankees and Phillies could both be eliminated. And I'm like, are our Mets lost?

00:21:08
Speaker 2: Like we what do we care? In my mind? I said, guys, it's so immature though.

00:21:12
Speaker 1: It's like, you suck, so you love to see other people fail. But that's why we're pretending, because that's also a sign of character and life. It's like, you stink, so you want to see other people. That's what do you think people get in fist fights? At stadiums, like you think that's by accident.

00:21:26
Speaker 2: Your It's a bigger mentality, it's a bigger picture.

00:21:33
Speaker 1: It's like so I said to the guys that go truthfully, guys, I mean for the good of baseball.

00:21:38
Speaker 2: No, it would probably be good.

00:21:40
Speaker 1: I don't know Phillies and Yankees winning, just just so that baseball has game fours and fives, Like what do you want to see sweeps? And they're like, what type of I'm sorry, I know what you want to tell you, But I remember when I was a kid. Damn Bayer, this would have drive you insane. I'm surprised I've forgiven my mother and my brother for this.

00:22:00
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

00:22:01
Speaker 1: I was with my high school girlfriend, and this is around the time when the Niners their feud with the Cowboys had sort of a little bit in the rear view. It had been when Steve Young and Brett Farve were going at it. That's when the Packers had their couple of year run. They won a Super Bowl, then they lost to the Broncos. The Niners couldn't get past the Packers for a couple of years. I remember watching at my girlfriend's house miserable. She consoled me.

00:22:29
Speaker 2: My Niners lost.

00:22:31
Speaker 1: I drove my little uh my plymouth acclaim home, my first car. I went up to my childhood bedroom. My mother and brother had yellow and green balloons blown up for the packers in my room.

00:22:47
Speaker 2: I think I.

00:22:50
Speaker 1: Like told them off, like like disrespectful to my mom, probably like bad, like yeah, and follow you, and I like slammed my door, and I'm like, I don't want.

00:22:59
Speaker 2: To be in the family, but I don't love you. I don't love you.

00:23:03
Speaker 1: Guys, Can you imagine that you got sabotage?

00:23:07
Speaker 2: Imagine you go back to Danny.

00:23:08
Speaker 1: Imagine like you went back to your house after the raiders had a big loss to the chiefs, and and like a family member Whood put yellow and red balloons in your room.

00:23:16
Speaker 2: By the way, you have a family full of clowns with balloons on the stand by my uncle bubbsaw helium tank. No, seriously, like they had to have thought this out. That was green and was extra. They probably went out of there, were to go to party city or something. Yeah, troll rich who's in our family? You should not beginning it at home like that, you know, really just to rub it in.

00:23:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, that ch So your thoughts on Razers midweek major. Plus we have some other things to get to on the show, of course Words of Wisdom Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom prizes. So take down the number now, don't say we didn't warn you. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and get hit us up anytime at Coveno.

00:23:55
Speaker 2: And Rich.

00:23:58
Speaker 1: Yeahs Covino and live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

00:24:02
Speaker 2: And the reminder is, don't be an Escobar. What's an Escobar?

00:24:06
Speaker 1: The guy talking smack about me, razzing me about my Yankees on our YouTube live chat. See, I think you're being sensitive now because I'm looking at the chat. All Escobar said was I love how Covino's peacocking now that Aaron Judge is finally dumped something cocking.

00:24:19
Speaker 2: You came in here, like, come.

00:24:20
Speaker 1: On, you can't criticize the MVP of the league by saying, oh, he only does it when it doesn't matter.

00:24:26
Speaker 2: He needs a big moment.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: Then he gets a huge moment, and now all of a sudden it doesn't matter until he does it again. That's called moving the goalpost. Then you know what you should have said, blabermouth from the start. He needs to do it in the World Series or he needs to do it in the ALCS. You can't just change it every time he shuts you up. I'm well aware of changing the goalpost and moving it because, as Danny g pointed out, that was rock perty for like two years.

00:24:49
Speaker 2: Jorge needs a big moment.

00:24:50
Speaker 1: He gets a huge moment, big enough, shut your pile hole. And then Escobar said, ps cal Rawley for MVP. And then Wes Idaho hit us up our Buddy West said, well, now live streaming at you guys, because the Mariners decided to suck. By the way that game got out of control. It was three to three, then it was four to three, eight three. Now in the bottom of the seventh, Detroit unloading. Your old Yankee hit a bomb, glabor of love and it's fun to see. Like I said, all these moments are huge regardless of the team. We're watching great baseball and we got to kick it to Dan Beyer because it's some big news.

00:25:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get an up day. What's up, dB?

00:25:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys hit the baseball Tigers up eight three. Michael Bush let off the Cubs Brewers game in the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run to pull the Cubs. Even Cubs have runners at the corners right now with one out in that game three. Milwaukee leads it two games to none, but tied up at one apiece, still playing in the bottom of the first inning at Wrigley. No practice today for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray miss practice with a foot injury. He's considered day today, and Niners quarterback Brock Perty didn't practice today.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: Now they did.

00:25:55
Speaker 4: Teammates wide receivers Juwan Jennings and Ricky Piersalt Browns and coach Kevin stefan Key wouldn't mme the backup quarterback for their Week six matchup against the Steelers, only to say that he'll have a decision later on this week if it's either Shad or Sanders or Bailey's appy.

00:26:09
Speaker 6: I always have to be mindful of our players and our players' development, and I want to make sure that I'm always doing what's best for our players and of course our team. But you know, with young players, I'm always thinking about last week making the change with to Dylan. You have to think long and hard about that because these are young players that you're so invested in their development.

00:26:26
Speaker 4: Now, this decision came about because they traded Joe Flacco yesterday to the Bengals. Decision has been made in Cincinnati. Joe Flacco is going to start in week six. Zach Taylor made the announcement today, saying he's already faced the Packers this season. Sol Flacco will get this start for the Bengals. And then there's this story from The Guardian. Olie Connelly, who covers college and NFL Action, reports that Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina. He's apparently had a willingness to trigger his own one million dollar buyout if he can find somewhere else to go, maybe another heavy network, maybe another team. The report goes on to say that members of Belichick's staff have already reached out to other schools that could be in the college football Playoff to look for work to assist those schools during the playoffs in December and January. There are also reports of serious recruiting violations that remain under investigation by the school. Some of those have already been proven. Yes, so Bill Belichick, Wow, Yes, says a lot man. That could be grand opening grant.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:27:31
Speaker 4: And then there's this part Bellich. This was according to Ali Connolly, Belichick's communication with his staff in the past two weeks has been described as weird and distant by multiple members of the staff. Multiple coaches were unable to get a hold of him during North Carolina's bye week.

00:27:45
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of speculation on a lack of chemistry with his other coaches amongst the team because of all these different players. And to me, the willingness to even be open to that shows me that his heart's not in it to begin with, and that was from the start. It's like, is this what you really want to do? Do you even have the energy to be recruiting young players and meeting with the parents and being that college raw ros sort of dude at this stage of your life.

00:28:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:28:13
Speaker 1: And if he's so willing to take the buyout, I'm saying no, he probably was never really that into it to begin with.

00:28:19
Speaker 4: We talked about the bad years in New England of maybe hurting his legacy. This is atrocious, I mean, to what they've done, there are a lot of turnover on the roster. Uh, the kids there I'm sure are wondering this is what I signed up for the kids that aren't there anymore.

00:28:34
Speaker 2: Dude, imagine I mean it was there. Maybe it was there blessing in disguise. See meet. That's such a great point. I think about that too.

00:28:40
Speaker 1: Think about this rich the kids that thought this was going to be a great opportunity, Right, I get to play for uh, basically a football a pro football level college football team, but play for the greatest professional coach of all time, and then to be let down like that, Yeah, you're sort of let down, and you know, well, the analogies you could go, you could do a million, but it would really be like if like a Hall of Famer at the end of their career said, you know, I'm gonna play in like some USFL or XFL team for a year and see. And I think that this was like the thirty third NFL team And now like the coach is ready to leave.

00:29:17
Speaker 5: They have like wins over an FCS team and Charlotte like they're really bad, they've been blowing out three times.

00:29:23
Speaker 4: And then the other layer of this TV what about Bill's son. I think he's a member of those people who are looking for different jobs at this point, because I don't think there's any connections send.

00:29:33
Speaker 1: Them to expresspros dot com. What about Bill's girlfriend? What's her role in all of this? I hate to speculate a pretty big one. I mean, I mean, I think that's the salacious part of it. But I just think there's just a lack of like, I don't know, you know, like you know, you try to convince the young kids that and something used to be cool and they're like, yeah, I don't know about that six sub and or they'll say something dumb crap. I just don't know if there's like Bill Belichick's buns. I don't know if Bill Belichick matters to an eighteen year old maybe maybe not.

00:30:03
Speaker 2: I mean, but it sounds ridiculous.

00:30:04
Speaker 4: But I mean I don't even think that's relevant because I think the kids that's signed up he did matter to them. And if you wanted to get to the National Football League, what better way than this guy who was considered the greatest coach that by some that we've ever seen in the NFL.

00:30:20
Speaker 2: That's how I feel about it. Yeah, major letdown. Yeah, I agree.

00:30:24
Speaker 1: I mean, again, I don't want to overdo the analogies, but like, think of someone at the top of their game who's the greatest. Let's say when Dan Patrick retires, he really doesn't and he's like, it's gonna do a local radio show and he just takes the smallest city.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: And like no one cares.

00:30:39
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but you were like if Howard Stern says I'm a role but I'm going with satellite, and all of a sudden, Howard's on some random AM station with a two thousand listeners.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: Danny's point about Steve Belichick taking over the reins what a lot of people suspected that this was just Belichick and a bit of a puppet regime to get his son the head coaching job.

00:31:00
Speaker 2: And now things have gone so bad you do anything for your kids. But maybe the ultimate selfish move then.

00:31:05
Speaker 5: Wasn't it predicated on them being successful and then handing it over to Steve.

00:31:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that's what we assume.

00:31:11
Speaker 4: But to think that you're not going to be successful and are pulling the plug on October eighth, yeah, your heart's just not And I mean the season started Labor Day weekend, and I know that there was a build up to it, but we were even saying there in the spring of there was a buy out in his contract. Will he make it the June first or June fifteenth, whatever the day it was he was. Then you're like, Okay, he's going to be coaching this year. But now you get six weeks into a season and you're ready to call it quits.

00:31:37
Speaker 2: Eight These kids how awful? Man.

00:31:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, it poses a bigger question. Let me ask you guys, not about sports, but have you ever started a job and quit very quickly?

00:31:50
Speaker 2: Did you ever have it could be a part time job, like I think, I.

00:31:53
Speaker 1: Think I had a job one day at UPS and I was like, I was like, this is no way, I'm not doing this.

00:31:57
Speaker 2: It's too much. I think I went shifting.

00:31:59
Speaker 1: I did some contracting stuff like construction work with a neighbor one time, like yeah right, dude, I'm actual showing up. The next similar story my my my mother's boyfriend I heard longtime boyfriend.

00:32:09
Speaker 2: At the time, it was a contractor. It was just too tough.

00:32:13
Speaker 1: It was like the summer of my freshman year of college and he's like, e come with me, well, you know, I'll give you one hundred bucks or whatever. Day.

00:32:18
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh cool.

00:32:20
Speaker 1: He was having me rip out, like you know, insulation and bugs were calling everywhere. And I was dirty and dusty, and I remember going home and being like, yeah, that's one my one day.

00:32:29
Speaker 2: I'm done. But yeah, I said, no thanks, no thanks.

00:32:33
Speaker 1: We think we've all had jobs where you take the job and you're like, oh, I.

00:32:37
Speaker 2: Mean Bill's done it before the jets are.

00:32:40
Speaker 4: I quit a job at a metals factory after the second smoke break and I don't even smoke, Like, you get your morning fifteen minute, then launch, and then you get your afternoon fifteen minute, and I was that was done.

00:32:49
Speaker 1: It's the feeling if this is not for me, but maybe it'll get better, and then you wize real quick, yeah, maybe it won't.

00:32:55
Speaker 2: We've done this.

00:32:56
Speaker 1: We've done this long enough together, you know, don't let our boyish looks to see if you cave. You know what, I've been working together since we're in our early twenties, so we've been almost twenty years together. We've seen interns just never show up for their second day. Yeah, and you know, just sort of like, yeah, I guess this isn't for Meili like damn something rub them in, jeez. So yeah, let's hear your stories. And that seems to be what's going on here. If he's willing to be bought out this soon, like what a letdown?

00:33:26
Speaker 2: Like, man, that just did regrettable decision.

00:33:28
Speaker 1: So we'll tug a little Belichick and all your thoughts on everything we're getting to and you're gonna ras Dan Bayer because the Cubs one up.

00:33:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, nanny nanny poo.

00:33:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you have to know someone, you know what. We got some phone calls about got razzing in sports and we'll get to that next again, We're Cavino and Rich live in the Fox Sports Radio studio.

00:33:52
Speaker 2: For real.

00:33:53
Speaker 1: You know what, I just had an epifany I always have my great thoughts in the bathroom Rich and a pfanny.

00:33:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had this genius lennipop fo.

00:34:03
Speaker 1: I think it's as simple as not necessarily taking the money and run Iowa Sam, even though that's great speculation, Iowa sa, I'm on the ones and tuesdaany g super producer buy out.

00:34:13
Speaker 2: Though.

00:34:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not saying he's taking the money. I'm just I can joke with the song. But he's he's running away from a situation that you know is not going well.

00:34:22
Speaker 1: It goes with my epfanie Bill Belichick, and we've all done this on some level of life. I think thought because he has this reputation, he has this resume, he's done it in the NFL at a high level, this great defensive mind. I think he thought this was going to be way easier than his turning out to be. And he's slowly realizing that none of these coaches get along these kids, all these kids who don't know each other, have no chemistry, all.

00:34:53
Speaker 2: These new kids from the transfer portal. It's a lot to handle.

00:34:56
Speaker 1: And if you're not a young dude committed to the co college way in a college program, you're just wasting everybody's time. And it turns out to be a harder job than he thought, and he bit off more than he could choose. So yeah, he's willing to take that money. I think he thought it was gonna be a lot easier than it is. Instead he's getting embarrassed. I'm certainly not saying Bill Belichick and his you know what, six New England Super Bowls and coaching with the Giants, running a couple others as an I don't think there's a part of him like but I'm not saying that by no means by saying that was quote lightning in a bottle. It was a career of winning in brilliance. But what I'm saying is we've seen it with other coaches. I remember after Joe Tory seemed unbeatable as a Yankees coach manager. Everywhere else Joe Torrey went didn't seem to work out. And you've seen it in the NBA, where you know, a legend goes somewhere and it doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna work somewhere else.

00:35:51
Speaker 2: If you just joined us.

00:35:52
Speaker 1: Stan Byer announced that Bill Belichick is open to some sort of buyout if he has another coaching gig or a TV opportunity or something like that. Is it so short lived in North Carolina that if it does end now, we won't even think about it. With his legacy, like the legacies like no Patriots and this, like I think.

00:36:11
Speaker 2: He affected a lot of kids that had high home.

00:36:14
Speaker 1: What I'm saying when his story is told later, like oh, Bill Belichick will be told like and then he had the stinker.

00:36:18
Speaker 2: Of a year, like we could separate it.

00:36:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, we cooperated, but it's time for a Tiraq play of the day again. Cavino and Rich Life from the Fox sports radio studio. Oh it's no question. Oh Jesus, all rise for a mammoth blast. It's a drive comeline experience this moment.

00:36:48
Speaker 2: Man, you knew it was coming. Joe Davis, what a call on f S one. Huh for real?

00:36:54
Speaker 1: Like I said, it was just a great baseball moment all around, great coverage, great props. He made a great call and then he let it breathe perfect he did. That's courtesy of FS one our Tyraq play of the Day. For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free back by free Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirec Tyraq dot Calmly tire buying should be so grand openings, grand closings. You've all experienced them. And let me say this too. I said, yeah, I had a day at UPS. That's not to knock anyone's job. I'm saying that was hard. I spent one day loading and unloading trucks not for me, and I was like, yeah, right, I'm not wearing these belts. My back was killing me. I'm like, this is I'm too I'm too.

00:37:43
Speaker 2: Weak for this. No, I'm not cut out for them. This is not for the week hearted.

00:37:48
Speaker 1: So sometimes you realize, like, yeah, I remember when my wife got to me, and maybe that's what Bill Belichick's going through. Now. My wife and I first started dating. She was at her twenty early twenties, and I remember she got a job as like a bottle service girl to make a little extra money. Like one day She's like, guys are creeps and weirdos. I'm done, like one day, Like, no, one day.

00:38:08
Speaker 2: So we've all had it, right, We've all had jobs for like a day.

00:38:12
Speaker 1: Let's say hi to JP and Paradise, who wanted to just talk about Belichick real quick? And then we have calls on razzing what's up?

00:38:17
Speaker 2: JP? Hey, what's going on? Fellas? So I just want to talk about the fact that we always say that, you know, Russell Wilson, he's playing his way. He might be playing his way out of the Hall of Fame. And you know, I mean I look now and I think, is Bill Belichick coaching.

00:38:31
Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame? I mean, well, not coaching his way out of the Hall of Fame, but coaching his way out of that number one spot of like go untouchable, Belichick's the best coach of all time. Like maybe I don't think the college just like the postseason, has nothing to do with the regular season when it comes to MVP voting or anything else. I don't think college coaching has anything to do with NFL coaching.

00:38:48
Speaker 2: He's creating footnotes. They have to be like, oh, look at how it ended. It's part of the story, but it won't affect him.

00:38:53
Speaker 3: And you're comparing six rings to one ring with Russell Wilson. Yeah, that's true, eight rings, but it doesn't help his reputation. Well, I agree with you, man Zach and Idaho.

00:39:03
Speaker 1: Back to the OG topic of the day, which was Covino has a problem with people razzing other sports fans. I can tell you my girlfriend's dad, Lynn, who listens on ninety nine to nine in Idaho. He hit me up, he said, I know you're so sensitive, sorry for ras about your Yankees.

00:39:16
Speaker 2: Your father. Well, now making fun. He's a Dodgers guy.

00:39:20
Speaker 1: When when you know somebody on a certain level and it's someone like that, it's all in good fun. If I don't know you really that well, that's when I'm like I'm ignoring you.

00:39:28
Speaker 2: Well, Rich knew his family and they still left those balloons. Yeah, and that's that's I don't get them Christmas presents, the grudge. Listen, we're gonna get all your feedback. We'll take your feedback.

00:39:38
Speaker 1: Next everyone, Zagda everybody, everyone, hangti, We're gonna take all your feedback, phone, call, social media. I'll just check our Twitter and Instagram. More Covino and Rich. Plus we got words of wisdom and Spot's got midweek major always fun on a Wednesday here at Fox Sports Radio. Hang tied, everybody, more CNR.
