Papa Bears here on the ones and twos, Spotties on the videos. Manzi's hanging out with the CNR T shirt. Moncey, I'd wear a Monzy T shirt if you got me one.

00:00:47
Speaker 1: Just know that.

00:00:47
Speaker 3: Well now I'm gonna just know that.

00:00:49
Speaker 2: And we appreciate you guys hanging out with us. There's so much to get too.

00:00:53
Speaker 1: Rich.

00:00:54
Speaker 2: I know you had a theory. Yeah, uh, you know, I said before the break. You've all seen the show or heard of it. Wife's nothing dirty. I'm not talking sexual like there was the celebrity wife swap, and the whole idea is you get to see where you're coming up short and where you are really doing well.

00:01:11
Speaker 1: Like Kevino.

00:01:12
Speaker 2: If you were to quote wife swap with your girlfriend with another couple, I guess not like Mansi and her boyfriend or something. Isn't there a sense where you're sure there'd be things where Moncey would say, yeah, I wish you did that, like Cavino, But then there's other things she'd be like, oh my god, thank god, I'm not with Cavino because he's annoying when he does this. Yes, you get the awkward situation, but you get to see the pros and cons. And I'm sure there's things that Mansi would do that you wish your girlfriend did and vice versa. This goes back to that classic Yankees picture story to Fritz Peterson Mike Kekach story.

00:01:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, in real life, they.

00:01:46
Speaker 2: Switched kids, lives, dogs, like they they traded families purpose of love. Oh, this is not like an experiment. They actually it's like one of the wildest stories. Yeah, it's a it's a true story out Yankees players who switched families. I bring this up nineteen seventy two, joking but not. The AFC North is now a division of like vacancies with coaches. Do you think in a world where Kevin Stefanski, Mike Tomlin, and John Harbaugh just essentially quote wife swap, they team swapped, is there a team that you think would come out with an upper hand like do the math however you want, Like let's say you bring Stefanski into Pittsburgh or Mike Tomlin you put him in Baltimore. Is there a scenario where any of these guys when you say swap, it just sounds so dirty. When you say switcheroo, it sounds more innocent, Oh the coach truth. So you're saying, if Tomlin and Harbaugh did a switcheroo when you say swap, I feel like they're really getting down and dirty with each other's like wives.

00:02:55
Speaker 4: Rich for both teams, it depends who the OC is going to be, because like last hour we said, it's all about the schemes, not just being tough, but outsmarting your opponent on the field with you know, how you're drawn up the plays. You've got to be a modern offense nowadays?

00:03:10
Speaker 2: Are there switcherous I want to keep it clean here on Fox Sports Radio. Are there switcher rus that come to mind where that panned out? Oh, give me, give me a all right. I only could remember in recent history, and you know what, good thing?

00:03:25
Speaker 1: We have a room fall of five brainiacts here.

00:03:29
Speaker 2: I can only think of a few straight up trades that it's like, oh, I get what they did there, and Goff Stafford comes to mind.

00:03:35
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's it. That's a claim.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: You know, at the time, Goff was a throwaway in that trick.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: Goff was you know, yeah, he went to a super Bowl, but they laid an egg against the Patriots, and he was a top pick. He gets shipped off to Detroit and all of a sudden reinvents himself.

00:03:52
Speaker 1: Becomes like a hero there. They love him.

00:03:55
Speaker 2: Him and Dan Campbell get along, his wife is beautiful. Stafford comes to Sonny La, where he feels like he belongs, wins the Super Bowl, and I feel like both organizations would probably say, you know what, Yeah, that was a QB swap. We benefited from this. I'm switching room.

00:04:09
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, switcher room.

00:04:11
Speaker 2: Is there any other quote swapper that's really a great example to start with?

00:04:17
Speaker 3: For sure?

00:04:18
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't always work that way.

00:04:20
Speaker 2: That's the point where I'm certainly not saying those two coaches and those two teams makes sense. But I think there was even a joke about it in a press conference today with the with the Steelers of Ravens where it was like, you know, what if what if you took Tomlin and then they took Harball or they are too highly sought after? Can I give you like the most random example it's not sports related, though you're gonna be mad at me. Don't hit me rich because I know you get really angry. So I just threw this out there, and I can't believe it was more of a it was. It was a switcher roo.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I work in rock radio.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: That's how I came up in my career, right, rock radio, K Rock, New York, Octane, Turbo three six m Ozzie's Boneyard.

00:04:57
Speaker 1: We got.

00:04:58
Speaker 2: Your resume is of Stellar, you know, Rocks, Superstar rock Tycoon. Anyway, I had a seven string autographed Orgy RG series. I I said, you were done talking about Whiswaps, No, no, no, the band Orgy Oh right, so you follow me. I had a seven string brand new guitar seven string guitar.

00:05:18
Speaker 1: But it was autographed by Orgy. I didn't give a diddly squad about Orgy, that's the truth.

00:05:23
Speaker 2: But I had a brand new sweet guitar, okay, but I'm like, what am I gonna do with this?

00:05:29
Speaker 1: I was walking down the hallway because I happened to have it.

00:05:31
Speaker 2: Just had it at work autographed, and I threw it out there to our boy, Jose. I said, Jose, Jose's another rock guy at Series x M. Dude, how about we do a switcherroo? And I just was joking. He had an autographed, same brand iban as RG series autographed corn guitar, but it was just a regular six string corn guitar, autograph by the whole band, right, Jose trading this Orgy guitar seven string for that corn one? And I thought he'd be like, brother, you crazy because it's corn, right? You know what he said? Brother, No way, I was looking for a seven string. He wanted the one that I had. I wanted the one that he had. It's to switch a room that's still like warms me up inside every time I see that autograph corn guitar that I have because I wanted that. But he needed the seven string because he wanted one. So it was almost like the ultimate switcheroo.

00:06:30
Speaker 3: The Corn and.

00:06:31
Speaker 2: Orgy guitar is the best example we could come up with other than Stafford, because you worked out for.

00:06:37
Speaker 1: Both people, you know what I mean, Like, wow, you really wanted that.

00:06:40
Speaker 5: I've never seen Covino get up and be so excited to tell a story.

00:06:43
Speaker 2: Because you believe I have the sweet like corn guitar, and he actually wanted like Orgy.

00:06:50
Speaker 1: I mean no disrespect, I mean people like him, but.

00:06:53
Speaker 2: Orgy they got Blue Monday, Digital bath or whatever, dreaming and digital. So any way, switcheroos do pan out sometimes rich not all the time.

00:07:05
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: If it was such an easy answer, you're GoF you know what I mean, like your goff Safford answer, there'd be more to them. And I can't think of that many where the swap well it was that successful right now, it's a lopsided swap. See swap sounds dirty. Right We were in Vegas, and I remember because the whole casino was murmuring. Is that the right word, whispering? Murmur When Anthony Davis for.

00:07:33
Speaker 6: Luca and that is turning out, that's turning out to be a swapperoo, a switcheroo where Anthony Davis not living up to his side of the bargain house it was injured again, So.

00:07:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't pan out.

00:07:47
Speaker 4: Late night pizza line inside the casino and it was crazy, like everybody was on sports apps on their phone.

00:07:56
Speaker 3: We're looking at each other like this is real, this is for real.

00:07:59
Speaker 2: So I mean when that happened, I remember having a hard time thinking of in the world of sports, like straight up trades that were like one guy for seven players to be named later in prospects, like what was the last time? Because this happened, I feel like way more in our childhood and our parents childhood where players were traded.

00:08:18
Speaker 1: We live in more of a free agent.

00:08:22
Speaker 2: World now, and like you know, you know, trade deadline, your team's out of it, so you'll give away your big stars contracts up for like the most of the time, Rich, it benefits one team or one person more than the other.

00:08:34
Speaker 1: Think about it.

00:08:34
Speaker 2: I have a question if you are still it's rarely where they both benefited.

00:08:38
Speaker 1: Give me it from that swap.

00:08:40
Speaker 2: Give me a team of the coaching vacancy that would say, you know what I do want Mike Tomlin, Like I have Jet fan friends that are like, oh man, let's go after Tomin. Like it's I'm not saying it's someone else's trash, but it's like that relationship is over.

00:08:52
Speaker 5: I feel like a lot of teams. I feel like the Raiders might like Mike Tomlin.

00:08:56
Speaker 1: I feel like Tomlin would be a good fit for you guys.

00:08:58
Speaker 4: They would if you could get a Koobac type as your OC even Kings Barry, who they tried to get a couple of seasons ago but couldn't agree on a contract. Again, that's the key, Like you need a bright, young mind in that OC share.

00:09:11
Speaker 5: Can you imagine Mike Tomlin and Fernando Mendoza with the Raiders?

00:09:15
Speaker 2: But I just feel like, yeah, I feel like we're stereo, We're stereotyping slightly, oh vegaus. Mike Tomlin's such a tough guy and it goes with the Raider brand. But I don't know if he goes I don't know if he goes with that team. Perhaps in the personnelity still doesn't know what it's doing.

00:09:29
Speaker 1: It needs a whole change. Calm down, Chargers fan, Okay, Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

00:09:34
Speaker 5: I'm not telling, am I.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: Perhaps not tell Justin Herbert. That's what happens when you're not nice to report us.

00:09:41
Speaker 1: Listen, Justin, let's not talk about Justin Herbert. You guys.

00:09:45
Speaker 2: Wait, we do have two Raider fans in here, oddly enough, Danny g and big sexy Ryan Raiders fans. What is what is the solution when you have Tom Brady as part of that, you know, decision making process.

00:09:56
Speaker 1: Now you have the quarterback possibly of your future.

00:09:58
Speaker 2: If you go with Mendoza, you have gent of brock Bowers. You need a coach and a line, right, that's really you need an offensive line and a coach.

00:10:05
Speaker 3: Correct.

00:10:05
Speaker 4: You got to start by beefing up both lines, the O line and the D line to give Crosby some help.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: I agree, And I cannot comment about Tom Brady because I want to keep my job and he works here, so I can't really say anything about that.

00:10:17
Speaker 1: I was not happy they worked at Pizza Hut.

00:10:19
Speaker 2: I saw him delivering a delivery pizza Pizza Pizza Hut.

00:10:23
Speaker 4: Look, correct, you do have Brady to mentor Mendoza and Mendoza. That clip has gone viral where he says Tom Brady is his dream dinner date to pick his brain because that was his hero growing up. Those two together, that's a perfect match. Tomlin coming in. What I love about Tomlin He sets a tone like he could be the first guy off the bus, not a big o lineman. Tomlin could be the first guy off the bus. And you're like that team means business right there.

00:10:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, our boy k Rain nineteen on the YouTube chat Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube says, you know, I take Tomlin in the ATL So yeah, he's definitely gonna have some options. But there's also a that maybe he hits the broadcast boof, so we don't know what's gonna happen. That'll be interesting. And Scott Fremeyer says, NBA does the switch ruse all the time. Agreed, great one recent one Luca Ad could have benefited both teams, but Ad was too hurt. It didn't benefit and we're questioning even if he's available now today as we speak. You know, so it doesn't always benefit both teams. That's the point. It's a one sided deal. Shout out to Michelle m Joey Elbows, Wes and Idaho. Lots of people chiming in Rich on the chat, Brandon Davis, El Canalito, Willemina, Crider, a lot of people hitting us up at Covino in Rich FSR, Jamie and Boston.

00:11:45
Speaker 3: Thank you.

00:11:46
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys.

00:11:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, little tier two of this Tomlin question, because you know people are talking about this ad nauseam today. Mike Tomlin nineteen years Hardbaugh out Stefanski. I mean you could go through the vacancies in the National Football League, Mike McDaniels. I mean there's there's a there's a ton of them when you're a team. And I've heard Colin say this, So I got to give Colin credit stars, stars stars. I heard Colin say stars stars, Colin Cowherd said something, and I will say, got to give credit where credits due. Colin, with his monologues, he brings it. So I'll quote our good pal mister Cowhert. He was saying, when you look at the NFL this coming weekend, that's a good point. And I feel like we all feel the same way. Colin just put it into uh star terms. When you look at the games you're looking at this weekend, amazing games, Bill's Broncos, Niner, Seahawks, Texans Pats, Rams Bears. He said a best with this analogy in Cowherd style Niner Seahawks. You're thinking Shanahan versus what Mike McDonald.

00:12:52
Speaker 1: Could do defensively.

00:12:54
Speaker 2: When you look at a Texans Patriots, you're like, ooh, Demko Ryans versus raybel with his little lip and everything. When you talk about Rams and Bears, Sean McVay, Ben Johnson a battle of the mines, I'm thinking the veteran MVP quarterback versus hot shot in his zone making big plays.

00:13:15
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams and I get it.

00:13:16
Speaker 2: You're you're talking coach, and he said the other game, Bill's Broncos. You're talking Josh Allen Verse, Sean mc sean Payton McDermott's the one coach that doesn't seem to be as big of a factor. So if you're a coach he's saying, he's saying that if your team like the Raiders, like the Browns, like the Jets, like one of these teams that's perpetually trying to figure it out. It's so clear that of the eight teams left, they are great coaches, Like you can't you can't swing and miss on a coach time after time.

00:13:50
Speaker 1: You need to.

00:13:51
Speaker 2: He was talking about investing a little extra money in your head coach because it's such a big decision, and Danny forget cowhard. We talked a while back about how it seems like if you somehow crack the code on the quarterback head coach combo, that could.

00:14:06
Speaker 1: Carry you for a decade in the NFL.

00:14:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least gets you to the first round of the playoffs.

00:14:11
Speaker 2: You could be perpetually in the playoffs if you crack the code and say this quarterback coach combo is legit. And I think, you know, I could be wrong, but I think when you look at Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, you could argue that just from seeing the little sample of one year, unless something goes wrong there, they could be that quarterback. I think they cracked Coach Jackson, Bill too, Liam Cohen, and now Trevor Lawrence has someone like Cohen.

00:14:37
Speaker 1: I think because they turned it around. He looks solid.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: Andy, Andy Reid and Mahomes for all those years, Bill Walsh and Joe Montana, Belichick and Brady like that head coach quarterback combo. It's like your It's like the pizza favorite combo. Your favorite pizza flavor combo was the best combo.

00:14:54
Speaker 1: You know.

00:14:54
Speaker 2: So just a reminder that all these teams searching for a head coach, you got to ask yourself, do you want that next creator, new brain of football that no one knows about, what postes a whole other question that we were getting, Yeah, or do you go to the well for that veteran that's been there, Like, I don't know. So if you want to chime in on the switcheroos that actually worked, could it be a Tomlin harp Moss swap switcheroo people are talking about that, you know, they're few and far between where it benefits both.

00:15:22
Speaker 1: I think we established that right, But.

00:15:26
Speaker 2: During the conversation it was brought up, would you rather, let's say you're a young player in the NFL, You're a Mendoza entering the league. Would you rather play for a young coach or an old veteran like a Mike Tomlin. That's that's an interesting question, Like yeah, I'm I'm If you're Fernando Mendosa, I want to play for you want to start fresh with and grow and learn with someone coming up, be on the same page together and build something together, or do you want to work under a guy who's been there, done that and just make it work?

00:16:05
Speaker 1: Isn't there there's value in balls? There is?

00:16:09
Speaker 2: What would you prefer? I mean it's case by case. You personally rich, would you rather work for some older veteran or a guy who's on your page?

00:16:19
Speaker 1: Damn?

00:16:19
Speaker 2: I got to think about that for a second, and I have the best of both worlds. To be honest, personally, you got to ask yourself, Yeah, that's a great way to look at it. If you're a young guy entering the league, or you're a young quarterback. Look at Trevor Lawrence who couldn't find his way until he got Liam Cohen. Do you want to find the next Liam Cohen or Ben Johnson or bright young football mind? Or do you want to play under a Belichick or Tomlin or Harbaugh, a guy that's been here?

00:16:45
Speaker 1: Think about it.

00:16:46
Speaker 2: I mean it's different in football, but look what happened with the White Sox and Tony LaRussa, for example, Pee Caroll. Sometimes the guys aren't speaking the language. Pete Carroll is a great example of maybe it doesn't work anymore. Maybe you know he's in his seventies, chewing gum enthusiastic, but maybe it's like maybe.

00:17:06
Speaker 1: That time is coming gone. That's a great example. Yeah, great example.

00:17:10
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Tomlin, Steelers Switcheroos. Do you want the young guy? Do you want the old guy? And to answer your question, I'm wondering if I was a Fernando Mendoza coming out of college and I have an opportunity to play for the Raiders, which is likely right, and the Raiders I can only imagine they wouldn't not take men.

00:17:28
Speaker 1: I know some people say maybe they'll trade it. You got to take Mendoza. I don't see how they can't.

00:17:32
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, just when you watched the championship game on Monday.

00:17:38
Speaker 3: Just imagine him in a Raiders uniform.

00:17:41
Speaker 2: But with him and like I said, Genty and Rock Bowers, you spend all your free agency money and all your other draft picks on line, offensive defensive line, offensive defensive line. Maybe find a wide receiver in the mix somewhere that's a high value. Like, yeah, free agency, they need a wide receiver. One, go after a wide receiver one, but just line line line. If you're Mendoza and you have all these weapons. Tom Brady as a mentor the Davis family who's willing to do things. Do you want a young football mind or do you want a twenty year Tomlin or Harbaugh type. I don't know. I mean, I wish I could give you an answer. I'm trying to think, if you're a young kid, what would you want, Danny.

00:18:21
Speaker 4: Well, if you think about what Mendoza is used to, Tomlin could work because Signetti the coach for Indiana, he's no nonsense.

00:18:29
Speaker 3: He is a Tomlin type coach.

00:18:32
Speaker 2: Well, it just depends the type of player you are. I'm thinking of the John Alway documentary, how like him and Dan Reeves were not vibing, but when Mike Shanahan got into the picture young dude on his page, they connected. They jailed network. Now how much you think they talked about Reeves behind his back?

00:18:46
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

00:18:49
Speaker 2: My sentiment after watching that documentary was how many lunches Mike Shanahan and John Elway had.

00:18:55
Speaker 1: Dan Reeves is as old as hell I got. They hated him, yeah, like Elway didn't like playing for him.

00:19:01
Speaker 2: So I think it just depends what type of guy you are and how it works in the chemistry. I think that's truly what matters, But you know what, do you think? What's your thoughts here? I have a collusion question. I don't know if anyone in the room has the ability to answer this, because we're just fun loving guys. But do you think that knowing that you're gonna go with Mendoza, is it in weird taste to even could the Raider? I don't think the Raiders could technically reach out to him, can they? And the Raiders can't wait that long? But I wonder who and he doesn't have social media, so.

00:19:33
Speaker 4: Sure what the rules are with the agents and all that stuff behind the scenes, and you know that happens.

00:19:37
Speaker 2: I do wonder if, like subliminally is like blink twice if you if you want to play from Mike Tomlin. I don't know, because you know, young guys might have like a preference, but it seems like he would roll with anyone, you know.

00:19:50
Speaker 4: It seems like he's so enamored with tom Brady though, that tom Brady could take him to lunch after they draft him and be like, this is the guy that's gonna lead you the right in the right directtion, and that would sellman Doza right away on whoever the raiders pick.

00:29:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, mister pottymouth, Thanks Bobby, thanks, thanks.

00:29:08
Speaker 1: Ch all right.

00:29:09
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, man, Mahomes looks sort of depressed a little bit. I don't think he can handle like not playing this time of year. But it's always great to see broke show boy Mahomes. Scott said, double win for Butch. You won a prize and drop the S bomb on national radio. All right, let's go to Monty for an update.

00:29:25
Speaker 3: We caught it.

00:29:26
Speaker 1: Oh, you caught it up. We did catch it all. What's up?

00:29:30
Speaker 5: Good job over there, Ryan catching that doing your job, Papa Bear. Oh guys, change is happening it in Pittsburgh after nineteen seasons, Mike Tomlin has informed his team that he's stepping down as a Steelers head coach.

00:29:43
Speaker 1: He is still under contract.

00:29:45
Speaker 5: By the way, so the Steelers are going to have his coaching rights. They couldn't negotiate some compensation if he returns to the sideline before the end of the twenty twenty seventh season. The Eagles have far offensive coordinator Kevin Patulo after eleven after one season. This will since college and to the NFL. This will be Jalen Hurts's eleventh play caller in his career. Even though there's a lot of openings in the NFL, Espiano is reporting that Marcus Freeman is expecting to remain at Notre Dame for the twenty twenty six season. Former Giants coach Brian Dable is going to interview for the Titans head coaching job on Friday, and former Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski is interviewing for the.

00:30:22
Speaker 2: Dolphins head coaching job.

00:30:24
Speaker 5: Today, the Panthers are picking up the fifth year option on quarterback Bryce Young. The forty nine Ers are opening the practice window for Pro Bowl linebacker Fred Warner with the hope that he could return for the NFC Title Game if San Francisco reaches that. When it comes to the NBA, Lakers, stars Lebron James and Luka Doncic are questionable for tonight's game against the Atlanta Hawks, and ESPN is reporting that Anthony Davis of the Mavericks is likely to undergo surgery to repair ligam and damage in his left hand and miss several months, but ad has tweeted that that is not true. He even said, y'all better stop listening to all these lives on these apps. That is what Anthony Davis has said to that. When it comes to baseball, the Diamondbacks are acquiring eight time all start third Basement Nolan at Naldo in a trade with the Saint Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals are moving in most of the fences at Kaufman Stadium by ten feet. They're lowering their height also with the hopes of creating a more hitter friendly ballpark, since it's the toughest park to hit.

00:31:18
Speaker 1: A home run. I don't hate that.

00:31:20
Speaker 3: I don't either.

00:31:20
Speaker 5: I don't either at this point. The fans want that right, more action in the stands.

00:31:24
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, Nolan Arondo, Nolan at Analo.

00:31:28
Speaker 1: I was looking up.

00:31:29
Speaker 2: His stats at Cavino a minute ago, and listen again, I don't want.

00:31:33
Speaker 1: To we don't want to be negative, guys.

00:31:35
Speaker 2: We talked me about Aaron Rodgers and how he just fell off, and last night was a terrible farewell if that's.

00:31:39
Speaker 1: What it was.

00:31:40
Speaker 2: It was though, no one Aeronado has a chance not to have a bounce back season because you look at Aeronaudo's stats, that guy I know is Colorado, and some say those are inflated stats. But that guy was good for thirty to forty bombs, one hundred plus ribies, and he battled around three hundred more consistently. Even at Saint louis great last year, you know, miss fifty games that at two thirty something twelve home run So you know, I hope for his sake he has a little more guests in the tank.

00:32:08
Speaker 5: No, yeah, his stock was still high, teams still wanted him.

00:32:11
Speaker 1: I think there's there's a little more there.

00:32:13
Speaker 2: I mean, you hope, but that's not always the case. And that's life, such as life, such as sports, and that's what happens. And by the way, the KD story too, Like don't believe the apps. It's really a problem, I mean AI and what to believe, what not to believe in fake stories and fake news, but especially with sports, are you just flooded with like BS trade reports constantly and like BS sports news Because I am.

00:32:34
Speaker 1: To tie into music.

00:32:35
Speaker 2: I saw Blake Shelton came out yesterday and said anything you hear about him and Gwen Stefani is BS. He goes do he said, like, dude, I read the paper and go online on social media every day, and every day I'm hearing about how me and my me and Gwen are breaking up, get back together, breaking up, get back together. And he goes, I've never seen anything that was legit. So he goes, I don't believe anything when it comes to sports, entertainment, music, anything, So all right, that's why we have you, Monse, Thank you, Monty. We believe in Nazi, all right. So we're Cavino and Rich and we have more NFL to talk about. So stick around here on Fox Sports Radio. Are you facing hiring headaches?

Quick note, Danny J. I thought about it with your deep Barry White baritone voice. Can you promise us something to look forward to? If the Raiders select Fernando Mendoza, can you do abba karaoke?

00:35:40
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, for sure.

00:35:43
Speaker 4: I wanted to see her Danta lebration, especially if he wins the national champion.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: If you win the national championship that gets drafted by the Raiders, we need Danny g singing Fernando by Abba number one, number two. You forget, Baseball's right around the corner. I know we're totally in football. They well, we have the WBC this year, so we get like good baseball in early March and they announced or released like all the hats and uniforms and so yeah, really cool. So WBC and then the season, we forget that the challenge is available this year for balls and strikes. Oh yeah, And David Stearns of the Mets The Mets GM said that guys like Juan Soto, veterans, will have the ability to do it on their own, where it seems like a lot of regular players will have to let the coach almost agree, like you could challenge, but I think it's gonna be one of those things like maybe if you're an Otani or a judge, or a Mike Trout or a Bryce Harper, you might be able to call your own shots, but for ball strike challenges, regular folks.

00:36:36
Speaker 1: Might have to be a coach. Is it okay?

00:36:38
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, you know what I'm saying. So that that would be an interesting twist. And one other note I wanted to bring up. I'm a big Fred Warner guy, not just because I'm a Niners fan. We talked to him at the Super Bowl and I've been a fan ever since. I've always been a fan, But once we met him, and you know, I see the clips of him and his beautiful wife. They have a podcast, Like Fred Warner is one of the best dudes.

00:36:57
Speaker 1: In the NFL. But everybody has a podcast. That is true.

00:37:00
Speaker 2: Fred Wanner is practicing. Kyle Shanahan and the Niners announced that open window for practice, and that's like every Niner is a little fantasy that Fred Warner comes back in some miraculous fashion and you know, just motivates this team to somehow win.

00:37:14
Speaker 1: And I just thought it was funny.

00:37:17
Speaker 2: How Seahawks linebacker, how do you say this guy's name? Oh?

00:37:24
Speaker 1: Is it?

00:37:25
Speaker 7: Uh?

00:37:25
Speaker 1: Uchaman? I'm gonna butcher this. Danny want to help me with this one though?

00:37:30
Speaker 3: It's all you got this yay man, goad, you can do it. Rich you get it.

00:37:33
Speaker 1: Come on, it's Chuman nuvuso, sure navusu.

00:37:38
Speaker 3: God bless you.

00:37:40
Speaker 2: He commented on Fred Warner's Instagram post, The road ends here, Like, don't worry about practicing. The road ends here. By the way, I practiced that guy's name like five times two hours ago.

00:37:51
Speaker 1: It's okay, and then I forgot It's okay, buddy. Not sure what happened there.

00:37:55
Speaker 2: The road ends here. How do you feel about that? I love it, ah, I love it, And I think you know, we look at that as fans and we love it, but we also have to understand that it's part of the cultures. Smack talk is just part of the game. Philip Rivers is a master at it in the NBA. You know, you see it the most too. And I love it like one on one street ball, like basketball street ballers. It's just part of the culture. You can't take it to heart. It's to get under your skin and it works. But it goes both ways. So I mean Fred Warner, it might not be his style, but someone else on the forty nine ers can come back and talk some smack. That's back and forth. See, people don't like smack talk, but you got to remember a it's part of the game, and b it goes both ways.

00:38:42
Speaker 1: It's not a one way street I love it. I love it.

00:38:48
Speaker 2: Vosot you got it. I feel like Joey on Friends. Remember he tried to learn French and he was like, I love smack talk, man. I think there should be more of it. I'm a big fan of it. I think we should have have people micd up just so we could hear more smack talk.

00:39:06
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think that's one of the beauties of social So.

00:39:09
Speaker 3: Get Rich miked up practicing these names off air.

00:39:12
Speaker 2: So props to linebacker in other words, hold on. I do want to make this clear that if Fred Warner's windows open, right, his practice windows open, it's not even gonna matter because he's not going to get past this week. I love that. I think that's great. Road ends here, but road ends here. Hey you're coming back. Yeah, good for you. We're gonna beat you.

00:39:31
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter anyway.

00:39:32
Speaker 2: Is the is the risk reward too much to really try to push along Fred Warner?

00:39:38
Speaker 1: He's saying I could play now, but God forbid.

00:39:41
Speaker 2: He tweaks that ankle again and something like is but then again, So next week's fine if they make it.

00:39:47
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:39:48
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's it's wild to think in a week he'll be fun. But he's saying, I'm good now. Why wouldn't they just even for morale if they put him in, take them out, put him.

00:39:56
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:39:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to go for it now. Rich.

00:39:59
Speaker 4: Before the season began, haters were telling you that your Niners window was closed already. How much further open is that window for you?

00:40:06
Speaker 1: Dude?

00:40:07
Speaker 3: I saw this with you.

00:40:09
Speaker 2: Thought I was gonna say Willis Reeda. I was gonna say, Daniel LaRusso because he's gonna fight. Hey, you tell me if they Fred Warner, who, by the way, by all intents and purposes, is like the leader of that team. You tell me if he doesn't suit up and he's in that circle guys getting all fired up. You don't think that would you have any impact to get out of here? Of course it would, even if he's not a hundo percento on the field. If there's a chance, I feel like you have to have Fred Warner suit up, that's it. Hey, have a great night in driving Row. I love it building rivalries right until tomorrow or even there. She maybe see you in the Promised Land. Go by, have a good one.
