Yeah us, Hey, people don't know that Cavino's the Chad Michael Michaels of Fox Sports Right Now true story by the way, underrated Will Ferrell movie, don't you think Yes? Now? That was funny, dude. I used to love that movie. I'm not surprised. I hope you had a Patriots sort tonight, not a New York Football Giant sort of night, not a young Hoku making excuses or or was he Oh, we'll discuss that too. But man, the Giants are ass cheeks, we know that. But they're exciting and they got promise. We get it. But we knew what was gonna happen. We called it yesterday. It was a boring game. But the Patriots are dominant MVP chants for Drake May. They're eleven and two now, ten games in a row, the longest streak this year in the NFL. You know what it is close to them. Man, you look at some of those games and you you know, in the gambling world, all people say, oh, trap game, right, But when you saw New England by seven, I feel like that was a gimme and we all ignored it. Right at the end of the show yesterday, Dandy was like, Patriots by seven, Rich, what's your pick? And I'm like, I don't know. I have the Patriots probably rock them, but I didn't bet on it. I think a lot of people look at a Thursday night or a Monday night and sometimes screwy things happen. And again a ten and two team versus two and ten team in New England, like, why did we all not jump on Patriots minus seven?

00:03:29
Speaker 4: Well, once it became seventeen to seven, some of us hopeful fans out there were like, Okay, maybe they'll make a game out of it. No, yeah, no, well, hey, I think the two storylines though for the Giants are Jackson Dart still being kind of reckless getting rocked alongside the sideline there, and of course they're kicking.

00:03:49
Speaker 1: It's not soccer, man, it's football.

00:03:52
Speaker 4: He said, Yeah, I'm gonna keep kidding. Concussions is basically what he said.

00:03:56
Speaker 1: Listen, Jackson Dart, let's start with him. And by the way, if you're on our YouTube chat, people already chiming in, is it weird that I'm rocking a backwards hat. I know Colin Cowhart doesn't approve. Fred Durst approve, so you're good, okay, And Ken Griffy Junior said yeah, way to go, buddy, Even I was. Sam's like, what, I'm more mad that you were in a weak ass Ben Savage T shirt. It's a Fred Savage shirt. And yeah it's not Randy. That is lame.

00:04:19
Speaker 4: So anyway, it's too high up on your dome. I think, rich you gotta like if you do the backwards cap, yeah, you.

00:04:25
Speaker 5: Look like Steve Buscemi. Or he's like, how do you do, fellow kids? What is that from thirty rocks? Like me look like an old guy. We're holding a skateboard, skateboard backpacking. How do you do, fellow children? Well, Riches came in from the gym.

00:04:38
Speaker 3: That's why.

00:04:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to the sauna and I you know, I like the chill in the sauna. But then my hair gets messed up. But anyway, who cares. Jackson Dart, you said a dandy g along the sideline. Guy gets rocked. Legal hit. He's tiptoeing. Oh it was a great hit, but it did in real time it looked like an illegal hit. It looked like a bad hit. It looked like a late hit. But no good hit. Good call. And he spoke about it. Yeah, take a listen.

00:05:04
Speaker 6: I understand the question, but like this is like this is football, like I'm gonna get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket, Like it's I don't I feel like I've played this way my whole entire life. There shouldn't be like any shock or anybody if you've followed along with my career and I'm we're not playing like we're not playing soccer out here, like you're gonna get hit.

00:05:28
Speaker 1: Things happen. Yeah, it's part of the game. Well, here's the biggest difference. He's not playing in college anymore. He's not playing in the pee wee leagues. You know, you're playing with monsters in the NFL peeleague and yeah, legal hitting all but you keep playing like that, you're gonna get hurt eventually. And you're too important as a quarterback in the NFL to be doing that sort of thing. And I get it, you could be tough. There's a balance there, right, Josh Allen's sort of figuring out that balance. We've seen mobile quarterbacks be told, hey, you're not as mobile as you once were. We're not going to allow that. It's dangerous. You don't want to he doesn't want to spend every other game in the blue tent. It's but you got to respect it.

00:06:07
Speaker 3: Though.

00:06:07
Speaker 1: He's a badass, he's a tough guy, he's a football player, and he's leading by example. Glad you said that, because the question is to start the show simple Jackson Dart badass or dummy or setting the precedent right, Like as a dad, as a leader, a lot of times you say to people, hey, I'm not asking you to do something I wouldn't do myself. So as a leader of a team, you know, this is what he expects from his his players, Like, hey, man, if I'm willing to give up my body and sacrifice and play my heart out like a Baker Mayfield, those are ways to send messages, you know, like I'm willing to do this, I expect that from everybody, agreed. As a guy that's setting the tone and establishing a reputation in the NFL. I think it's okay now he's young now, but eventually it will catch up to it. I don't eve think it's the age thing. I think it's sometimes you just you minimize the risk. Right, that's an obvious thing, right, I mean if Jackson Dart is scrambling, we don't I don't want this guy to stop playing with some fire and passion and running around. And I don't I don't mind when he's mildly reckless, when you're tiptoeing along the sideline, getting that one extra yard isn't worth getting clobbered. It's little things like that. It's it's like, thank.

00:07:22
Speaker 4: You, this is not the Super Bowl where John Alway needed to the helicopter into the end zone.

00:07:26
Speaker 1: Dude, perfect example, Like you're not asking. You're not asking Josh, you're not asking Jackson Dart too. Hey man, listen, we're gonna keep you in the pocket right with no none of this, none of this reckless running around. It's part of his game. It's what makes him exciting. It makes the fans love him. He's a passionate dude. I love him. He's got balls, and you're not your games right. It is football. But you know, I love him and Scataboo and they're both healthy, headbutting each other and acting like you know, silly frat dudes. But again, it's like, pick the times you're gonna throw you body out there. If it's if it's a scramble and you already got the first down and you're tip toeing, why why are you leaving yourself vulnerable. Man. So Jackson Dart badass, fool or both, I mean both could be an answer here. I'm going with badass now because again he's setting the tone and he's a young player in the league. I know you already said that doesn't matter. Rich, I think I feel what you're saying, because you could get hurt. You're not, I mean to getting hurt. I think he's a fool until he gets that first big contract. Now, if he had that, you know, because even if you're average, Now, what is your first contract, Danny, forty to fifty million dollars a year? It seems like if you are, if you if a team banks on you, you're getting forty to fifty It seems like the standard now.

00:08:44
Speaker 4: So, yeah, he hasn't signed is one hundred and eight million dollars signing bonus.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when Jackson Darted a couple of years from now, the talk is, oh, the Giant's gonna give him forty to fifty to sixty million, depending on where things go, then I'd say, did play your game. But a couple hits like that, he's never gonna make it to contract too. So again, they lost thirty three point fifteen to the what seems to be unstoppable Patriots right now Jackson Dart one hundred and thirty nine yards, one tuddy, no turnovers and yeah, putting his body on the line as a viewer, as a fan and as a casual fan on a Monday night while we wrap up week thirteen.

00:09:24
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.

00:09:26
Speaker 1: I like seeing it again fan perspective. I mean, mister mcchieley hit us up?

00:09:33
Speaker 3: What up?

00:09:33
Speaker 1: Mister mcchieley said, guys, look at Lamar Jackson. Every injury he has, he comes back a little less the player he won, less explosive this year way noticeable too. And I get it, you know, but how many years has he been in the league now? But Wes is saying, dude is getting paid millions? I don't know. Can you look up Jackson Dart's current contract, because he's not getting paid like millions like the Lamars and Joe Burrows and Mahomes of the world. So he said he getting paid million. I gotta love that attitude goes, even if it's foolish, the things he says, like, no, man, this isn't soccer, this is Football's what I do. Like, that's the kind of attitude you want, though, so I would never want to deter him from that fire, from speaking and leading that way.

00:10:15
Speaker 3: His rookie deals are fully guaranteed, four year contract worth seventeen million dollars.

00:10:21
Speaker 1: That's a small fortune.

00:10:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got a signing bonus of almost nine million.

00:10:25
Speaker 1: And by the way, Lamar Jackson is eight years in the league right now, and this is really the first time we've seen him let up. I mean, what quarterback is the same from year one to year eight. Anyway, Yes, he looks like he's less explosive. No doubt he could be having an off year. We don't know that. Wes in Vegas. To finish what he said, he goes. These guys, even at that level, are getting paid millions. Danny g proved it. He's got seventeen right. The new trend is some of these guys make a ton of money, might step away early. What if Jackson darts, okay, dip it out early, if he plays his game. I'm surprised we're not getting more because Rich isn't the only one saying foolish right, Like, hey man, take it ease, You got nothing to prove. It's a random night. You guys are two to ten. But isn't it a little refreshing too that people still want to play at that level. I'm not saying we don't see it, but when you see load management in the NBA, and when you see some people, you know, what's the proper word blank footing around? In the NFL? Sometimes I want to know what the proper way, but you can't say the other word blank footing around sometimes whissy footing playing patty Cake. You know, it is nice to see and be reminded that this is the NFL and that he's here to win, regardless of the record and regardless of the investment, how much money he's making. You could say, man, that's that's refreshing. I like that attitude. But the sentiment is, hey, man, take it easy, Hey dun buyer. Isn't a while to think that. On one hand, there's people that are curious as to why Joe Burrow's even playing right, yes, and then there's other people that are like, get Jackson dark, go for it.

00:12:09
Speaker 7: I think that's a good example, and maybe not necessarily with the Bengals because we did see how Joe Flacco performed. But my question to Jackson Dart would be what would Wandale Robinson want you to do? What would a healthy Molik Neighbors want you to do? Because you are responsible for everybody, and if your wide receiver doesn't get paid because his quarterback's been knocked out because you won't get down, you're likely not winning games and it could affect how you and your business goes because now you've got to play with the second or third string quarterback. I think on the surface, it's great, what a gamer for a two to ten team, But when you're the quarterback of the team, you have a lot more to think about than just am I going to get this extra yard?

00:12:52
Speaker 1: And especially with what you saw for a minute with him in Scataboo and Molik Neighbors, all these guys banged up, there is a sentiment that next year the Giants retooling some draft picks the Giants. Would you agree that most think they're not as far away as they feel? Rephrase it, so you think they're closer than that they're like I meaning they're they're banged up a couple of draft picks wide. Yes, I don't think they're that far off from being like, well, maybe they're a wildcard team. There were they were a player analysts. I thought this year the Giants might make them. Yeah, I think that's fair. So you're right, there's no point in getting hurt. Now where next year is like off the table. You want to be you want Molik neighbors Jackson Dart camp scout a boot with the addition of some maybe free agents and good draft picks ready to roll for twenty twenty six. Don't jeopardize anything. But he has a baller huh. Trying to think that bow a quote where he tells Adrian to oh, stop telling you to make a man. Yeah, it's like you're telling him not to be who he is. I know that's good to stop being a woman. So don't has me to stop being a man. Stop telling him to stop being a football player. Absolutely no, you know, like it's kind of who he is. That's what you sign up for when you sign a Jackson Dart. Maybe maturity, maybe a good pop will change those things, but that's how he plays the game. That's who he is. So it's kind of hard to change that once you've been doing it your whole life. That's the truth. So I feel all those things. But we posed a question to you. You heard our side Jackson Dart you saw it last night, meaningless game. Badass for taking that hit, trying to get that extra yard. Is he a badass leading by example? Or is he just a fool what a fool believes? Is he a down ass full or both? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox At this stage of his life and career, I kind of appreciate it. He's trying to make a statement, trying to make a name for himself, trying to establish who he is in this league. As he grows and he could depend on other people, I think, you know, hopefully he's smart enough to back off on that sort of thing, and you know, I'd like to see him mature and grow. But right now I like it. Who am I? Homer Camacho? Hit us up? What's up? Homer? On the into YouTube threat, he said, Guys, Troy Aikman, did you hear he compared Jackson Dark to Jim McMahon. He's not going to last at this rate. At this rate, yeah, but everybody evolves. Hey, Rich, you were kind of reckless in your career in the beginning. The things you would say in interviews, the way we would talk to people on our show, the antics we pulled on the air way because we were trying to establish ourselves as a pushing the envelope cutting edge. But those things could eventually have gotten us in trouble. Right, So once you establish yourself as credible broadcasters, you just do that and he become a professional and you back off the silly stuff a little bit and you show what you really got. I think early in his career, this is what you get because that's who he is. He'll change.

00:15:53
Speaker 3: Think.

00:15:53
Speaker 4: Also, you have to show the other defenses around the league that you're not going to be a sitting duck. If they know you're a quarterback that's gonna get down and slide. Yeah, because you guys, just the eye test at the start of the season when you called them him in Scataboo, the new dynamic duo, what was the caveat you guys gave.

00:16:12
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen?

00:16:13
Speaker 4: Both of them were gonna get hurt if they continue to play with that style. So if you guys could see it from your living rooms, you're telling me defensive coordinators and defenses don't lick their chops when they go against them.

00:16:23
Speaker 1: They do. But here here's a reality check too. And we know this, but when you hear it sounds different. He's twenty two years old, twenty two. You guys, watch how invincible you feel at twenty two years old, especially especially a dude in the NFL. You guys want to expect him to play any other way? You guys watching new Kevin Hart special on Netflix. I started it. He talks about how he's forty five now. Yeah, and he goes he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He talks about how he'll play like pick up basketball. Yeah, he called out Michael Jordan pretty hard. That was wild, did you he like? Was called style. He talked about his son, called Michael Jordan's son's losers and everything. So in the special, Kevin Hart's says he's in his forties now, he plays pick up basketball. You roll your ankle, you might have a hurt ankle forever. He's like, you know, that's forever an ailment. You're you got a boot on for and he's, you know, limping around for tending he has a boot on. I think this is how legends are made. He said, when you're twenty something, you'll see something. Dude at the gym roll his ankle's like the dude's ankle hits the side of the gym floor, jumps up and he's like, all right, I'm good. When you're twenty something, it's like when your kids fall knockout wood, Like your kids get up and they're like, I'm fine. How many kids are? You're there? Pliable the recovery. He's so different. Uh, it looks dangerous, but it's a dangerous sport and he said it. He said it best, So badass, fool both your thoughts eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine, O Fox at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.

00:17:50
Speaker 7: There's also the face paint angle that you guys have not addressed. So when you are painting your face, whether it be yes of whatever mark he's got under his eye, I think you should totally run out of bounds and wipe that stupid black mark whatever he's got under his face off. But you can't be running out of bounds if you're painting your face like that.

00:18:15
Speaker 1: So you're saying he should wipe that off and put ultimate warrior face. No different.

00:18:20
Speaker 7: Joji McCarthy does, and it's it's even worse with him. But when you go to the specific eye blacks, you know, swipe on your cheek swipe, or the yeah, you can't be going out of you can't be running out of bound.

00:18:35
Speaker 1: I think we also need to give prompt to uh is it Christian Ellis right, the linebacker from the Patriots? That was a sweet hit? Yeah, sweet hit. But to back up, he wasn't only hit what dB said. You can't be painting your face and not play a little wild. It's like, uh, if you ever play like Rex softball, if you have the guy that shows up and you're wearing like an elbow guarden batting gloves softball, you better hit four hundred foot rockets. You can't be average and show up wearing like full uniform. Like yeah, that's a funny point. Are you ever golf with someone I'm guessing that has all the gear everything they suck.

00:19:12
Speaker 7: All the time, all the time, all of the stuff from all the courses that they've played, top notch everything, best golf ball, best golf shoes, that the hat matches the belts not.

00:19:24
Speaker 1: I don't go unmatched, like it's I try to match, but I don't. It's not.

00:19:28
Speaker 7: Everything is primo as then I'll say, but yes and then the game doesn't match it, match it.

00:19:35
Speaker 1: I got two more examples, DV and that's a really great one. You have to be a wild sort of player if you're gonna paint your face right. How about the guy that shows up to the bowling alley with the wrist guard or the guy that shows up to like a bar pool table with his own pool queue. He's screwing it together like that. Dude better be Minnesota fats if he's if he's screwing up his old his own pool cue. If you're a woman, the you better have some game.

00:20:02
Speaker 7: If you're a closer with some sort of weird facial hair, not weird, but like long hair, beard, sideburns, mutton chops, whatever, you better throw one oh two like that is like that is who you are?

00:20:17
Speaker 1: Like, yes, it's got a match. Yeah, it matches his style, right.

00:20:21
Speaker 3: Can't go in there throwing junk.

00:20:22
Speaker 1: That's tampire along with the closer. I don't think unless you are a Marianna Rivera and ENW. Diaz A Trevor Hoffman, there's certain guys. I don't think everyone deserves an entrance. Correct, Yes, not everyone gets Timmy trumpets. It's a good point. You know, if you're gonna be face painted like the wild thing that you are, you gotta play that way.

00:20:44
Speaker 4: A lot of the younger players do the dripping face paint. Look at JJ McCarthy.

00:20:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said that is Yeah.

00:20:50
Speaker 3: He didn't exactly play like a warrior this season. He tried.

00:20:53
Speaker 1: It's like the meme goes little league team, four thousand dollars worth of bets, two hits, sometimes sometimes the gear, and you know you're spending all this money, like I love the golf on. There so many good ones. But thank you guys for playing along. In fact, you got a lot of feedback and phone calls on Jackson Dart. Please, Michael Roger, Caleb, everyone, hang on the phone.

00:23:50
Speaker 3: Bro?

00:23:51
Speaker 1: What's the state abbreviation trying to expose me? MS? You idiots m Osippi. Come got you think I don't know? The Gary Goleman routine where he talks about the masterminds involved in the abbreviation. It's very funny comedy bit. He does a whole bit on it. Coleman. Yeah, your own, I don't know, look it up. You don't believe me? Man? Well, what do we what do we learn so far? That Jackson Dart is reckless and awesome and badass. But I think the biggest conclusion we came to was that if he continues to wear face paint, he has to be reckless because you can't wear extra EyeBlack and face paint and then like run out of bounce right, you got it? It's misleading. Yeah, it's misrepresentation to some degree. And I just think that he's a twenty two year old badass and he's gonna play that way, and that's leading by example. And these are highlights, like where are heads at? We're talking like old guys, like we're investing in these dudes, like these are the highlights that we're gonna see from years to come. Should I have been like, yeah, Derek Jeters, shouldn't have dove into the stands. Man. Come on, he put himself at risk. No, as a fan, I want to see that, not to mention. This is the NFL. It's football, So props to him. As time goes on, he'll switch his game up accordingly, at least you hope so. Badass, fool or both. Let's wrap it with your phone calls. We have more things to get to.

00:25:20
Speaker 3: Man.

00:25:20
Speaker 1: Prize is to give away things to talk about you like all in Virginia. It's up, Mike.

00:25:26
Speaker 8: Hey, Rich Convino, love you guys. You guys are the best.

00:25:29
Speaker 1: Thank you, bro.

00:25:31
Speaker 8: I like what Jackson dar is doing. Like you said, he's trying to make a name himself. He's trying to put his team on the shoulders. But here's a prime example. This athlete, this NFL quarterback was by far the most freak of nature, strongest that I've ever seen in our generation. That's Cam Newton, and his kit career didn't last long and even to this day that after that Denver Broncos Super Bowl, Denver roughed his world up to where his career is never the same. And so you know, Jackson Dart, he should be careful. But I mean even the strongest.

00:26:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, Listen, the NFL does a lot to protect these guys. They protect him now, but still there is a layer of danger if you're a quarterback that runs. Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen. There's guys that you know. I always say Mahomes is really good at tiptoeing out of scenarios. Mahomes never leaves himself vulnerable. Other guys aren't that careful Jackson.

00:26:28
Speaker 7: Dart is mobile, but he's not as much of a threat as Cam was. Like, I think it was totally a part of Cam's game. So Cam not running or not doing what he should would have hampered his game. He had to be smart about it. He had to get out of bounds, he had to slide and do those things. But I like Dart's got that ability to move, even more so than like someone like Aaron Rodgers, who thought was more of a passer. But yeah, you just got to if you're any quarterback, I think you just got to get out of bounds.

00:26:55
Speaker 1: You know what, look pretty mobile. The other the night that I was reminded of, you might have heard of him, Marcus marry Ota. He ran for lock almost fifty yards. I think sure Mariota has got some legs. I forget that Dart ran for twenty yards. Four carries twenty yards.

00:27:09
Speaker 7: Just another TikTok of Mario Ta Today.

00:27:12
Speaker 1: Mariota, people are letentless. That's the only that's like one of the few benefits of social media. People are pretty funny out there. Other than that, it's terrible. It's also brutal. Now let's say how to Roger in Tacomo. What's up ron, Hey, Roger?

00:27:25
Speaker 9: Yeah, you doing so. I'll give you this my story before I give you my opinion. So when Russell Wilson was maybe Daniel Mmans when he's a rookie, they had just signed Matt Flentz a big contract. Of course, it wasn't expected. He wasn't expected to start, but he was so good in training camps they actually gave him Game three of that preseason, which will used to be the most important preseason game as a starter. He was doing incredibly well. In the second half. He takes off out of the pocket and he's gaining about fifteen yards and here comes to defender straight at him. And if anyone needed to prove his machoness, it was Russell Wilson. To trying to win a job what did you do? He took a left hand turn and he got out of bounds. And as soon as you did that, I go that guy's ready to start in the NFL because he's smart. You have to be there for your team. Jackson's already had two stints on the il. You don't have to prove your manliness on the sideline. They need you to play quarterback.

00:28:23
Speaker 1: You prove your manliness by being out there and playing. Yeah, I agreed. And by the way, Marie, finishing debate, because you're right, you have to be smart. But as a football player, you also like to see that Mariota Mariota fifty five yards rush five. Let's say, how to Caleb in Missouri where you can now gamble Missouri?

00:28:42
Speaker 10: Hey guys, former last man standing, former second to last man standing here?

00:28:47
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah over time?

00:28:50
Speaker 10: Yeah uh so the last caller I think hits it on the head too, is like, what are you trying to prove well on a two win team? You're trying to prove what you can take a hit that you know are the medical tint is. I don't think that proves anything. I think Giants fans would much rather see him prove he can read to cover four go through his progressions. I mean, let's see, let's open the offense in that way. Let's understand if we have the quarterback of the future. Let's not understand that. Oh you're really tough, you can take a hit. I get it gets the guys going. But on a team that's going to draft in the top five, what are we motivating here?

00:29:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, you ain't kidding. This team has promise if healthy, but they have a lot of guys that are injury prone. We'll see what happened. By the way, two great calls, and I can't say they're wrong. Right, they're right, but it's in their competitive nature. You're telling them to tone it down. They're playing Monday night football. This dude's going all out, So I understand. But you know, you guys make great points, bad ass full We're both thank you again. You can chime in at Covino and Rich Now before we get to Mahomes show time trivia, before we get to some more NFL and oh my god, this they sound like a girl there, Oh I sound like my wife. Oh how about this? Oh loaded? There are five NFL games this week that are so unbelievably important. I was looking at the schedule and I got like, uh, I got a little NFL. My pants sounds nflans, Holy bananas. Well we'll talk NFL. We're gonna play your schedule, watching our schedule watching I was Sam who the rich loves to look at the schedule, game schedule.

00:30:40
Speaker 2: Watch it.

00:30:41
Speaker 1: I get tired of them. I want to go over I'll never get tired of that. And we pause and take in the fact that it's week fourteen. Yeah, that's insane, dude. So five games will go over coming up and a hypothetical that will really get you thinking. I was not high or drunk when I thought of this, but it's still a good one. But first, let's go to Dann Bye for an update. Are pal dbway.

00:31:02
Speaker 7: Guys, some waves being made in college football as Old Miss offensive coordinator Charlie Wise Junior, who's going to join Lane Kiffin staff in Baton Rouge at LSU, Well, he is going to coach Ole Miss through.

00:31:14
Speaker 3: The College Football playoff.

00:31:15
Speaker 7: So Charlie Wise Junior will be running the offense as Lane is now in Baton Rouge. He'll rejoin the new coaching staff once the Rebels playoff run ends. Kalani Sataki is reportedly no longer a candidate to be the next head coach at Penn State. ESPN reports that Sataki has told those close to him that he is staying at BYU Boston College.

00:31:37
Speaker 9: A D.

00:31:38
Speaker 7: Blake James announced TAD football coach Bill O'Brien will be back in twenty twenty six. The Pittsburgh Steelers claimed wide receiver Adam thielinoff of waivers from the Minnesota Vikings. Lions wide receiver i'm On Ross Saint bromised his second straight practice today because of an ankle injury. He says it's still up in the air on whether he will be able to play Thursday against the Cowboys. Freege wide receiver Elijah Morris signing with the Broncos and Niners. GM John Lynch said he was hopeful but wasn't sure if it was realistic. The wide receiver Brandon Nyuk suits up at all this season. When he spoke with KNBR earlier today, Sesame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate this holiday season at sesame dot org because the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you. Some NBA news Pelicans forward Zion Williamson's could have missed at least three weeks of action because of an deductor strain. And then Lo Gallinari announced that he is retiring from professional basketball, and twenty first rank Kansas will be without Darren Peterson tonight against number five yukon the seventh straight game he's missed because of a hamstring strain. Finally, Tiger Wood says he continues to recover from an October surgery to replace a disc in his lower back.

00:32:43
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, I've been through this rehab process before as a step by step and then once I get a feel for practicing, exploding playing the recovery process, and then I can assess where I'm going to play and how much I will play.

00:32:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, it says the recovery so far has been slow, as he's only been able to chip and putt guys back to.

00:32:58
Speaker 1: You, Thank you, Dan Bayer. And isn't it interesting how Dan Byer's career is not only given updates, but it's like health updates. It's like you almost have to pivot and know like medical terms and expectations, like your whole job is is now shifting into.

00:33:14
Speaker 7: Like medical updates in terest states, I think that it plays a role inmbedding and in fantasy. It's actually why I think that information people want to know for their fantasy teams, they want to know for lines and tiger Woods, just because it's become so much of a conversation about Tiger Woods and and specifically Zion Williamson right hurt Again.

00:33:31
Speaker 1: That's the one that baffled me the most. I'm like, geez, are you saying, like Dan Byer, much like a TV doctor knows enough to if he needed to do he has to surgery. Yeah, yeah, like he has to know a little more than the average sports guy. We've had the dumb when it comes to injury. We've had the dumb thought, Dan Byer that if you've played a doctor on a TV show that lasted years and years, do you think just you know more than the average guys. Let's say you were on a plane. All right, you're on a plane. Is there any doctors here? I would trust that guy more than any other guy. So it's like, do you have any doctors? Do you have anyone that played a TV doctor? That's like number two? Yeah, I asked to be does anyone do sports injury? Updates. I was like, I know a little something about Hya ankle spring.

00:34:15
Speaker 7: If someone on a plane suffered to write a doctor stray and I would say, the next three weeks are not going to be good for you.

00:34:23
Speaker 1: Is it your turf toe in row five turf tote?

00:34:27
Speaker 5: But if Dan pulls out, like is it Liz Frank That.

00:34:31
Speaker 1: Liz Frank injury, So that's going to really impress the updates man, thank you, damn man. By the way, Dann Buyer, not the three on the spot. I know that's a trend recently. Don't want to put people on the spot. But my dude, Brandon Ayuk, is there any incentive for him to play at all this year for the Niners, because I, like you said, every day, I feel like reporters and update guys like you were getting mixed. But he wants to play. He may be now it's like he doesn't look like he's going to.

00:34:57
Speaker 7: No, it doesn't make any sense. I think it would not. I think it would ruin the chemistry. Guys need to know their roles in the playoffs and to try to incorporate Brandon Ayuk in the postseason doesn't make any sense.

00:35:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hey, what a weird story that is when you think about how Ayuk didn't want to be a Niner, then sign some big deal, gets hurt immediately, and then never really plays for the Niners. A rich not that I'm not listening, but what do you think of Jackson Dart's nerdle neck that he's rocking at the press conference. That's a lot. That's the George steinbren Or turtleneck. That's a guy that steps out of bounce. All right, right, maybe he's like, yeah, maybe I'm toning it down. Moving forward, I'm gonna rock a turtleneck. Now if he wears a turtle neck well like tinted glasses, then yes, all right, we got more Coveno on a wretch, a dumb hypothetical, A bunch more NFL all coming your way here on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, Rich Santa Claus is on his way to you and your backwards hat. By the way, look at this shirt. What a sweet shirt I have. If you're watching on YouTube, look at this bad boy. You should throw that in your fire pit. So it's a weakish shirt. Savage af with a big head of Fred Savage. Well, you're not a fan of the wonder years. I am you too good, but not enough to have Fred Savage on my shirt.

00:36:13
Speaker 3: Fred Savage wears his hat backwards too.

00:36:15
Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not Ben? It'll take Ben Savage anyway. You're Ben Savage even weaker. Codino Enrich live from the Fox Sports Radio studios and his time for our tire IRAQ Play of the day. Patriots ran away with the game and the Giants gave us one of the strangest special teams plays you'll ever see. But pushing at my staff, the kick got dumb well the right now. He never kicked it. He never kicked it.

00:36:40
Speaker 3: He k kicked out.

00:36:41
Speaker 1: Go to time out with six twenty two to go here in the second that's courtesy of ninety eight five kicked the ground the sports hub. That was worse than like a Charlie Brown move man, Patriots Radio Network, and that was our tire Rack Play of the Day. For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and free back by free. It has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation all at tire rack dot com or tire buying should be and we should talk about that. Man, Young ho I believe him. In fact, it's not Young ho Ku. Unfortunately, No, it is Young Wayku. I made.

00:37:15
Speaker 5: I actually made the same mistake. I said young Oku once and I got laughed at. Is young Wayku?

00:37:20
Speaker 1: What I hear? I texted you guys about that. I know, but I thought you were wrong in lying or joking or something. No, no, very serious. Yeah, I know it looks like that, but I mean I hear them say that, but then again, I trust you. Sam Dan's nodding his head.

00:37:35
Speaker 7: The Sam's right, Yeah, it's Young Wayku.

00:37:38
Speaker 1: Young Wayko, how about that. I believe him. By the way, we're going to talk about it later. You think it's a weak ass excuse I believe them? Well, I'm a little flip floppy on it because I saw two different angles of the ball. He said that the ball was slip and move in a little bit. So we held up. And that's why, do you know what helped why I put the conversation on a hold. Let's start me. I was and trying to let me listen to the dude right.

00:38:02
Speaker 2: Now kind of slipped out at the bottom, so it was moving, you know. I wasn't able to kick to the ball. The ball was moving when I was driving to it, so I just pulled up on it.

00:38:09
Speaker 1: And you pulled your leg and get stuck here.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: No, No, I couldn't. As I was driving to the ball was the bottom of the ball was slipping out, So I just pulled up on it.

00:38:18
Speaker 1: Same. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I thought he was way coop until yesterday. There you go, very good because that was weak. Dude was still way cool. I mean, I think I saw the side angle in slow motion and it was just so minimal. But when you're a kicker, the long snapper of the holder, this is a game of precision. And I did see a little slippage. Ye, the ball was not upright before. That wasn't a hold up. That was a misfire. I saw two different angles. One angle you're like, you know, it's not moving, what's he talking about? Then you do see another one and they readjust it last minute, But I don't know. It looked very much like he missed his target. He timed it wrong, or he just didn't His step was off, you know, because he kicks the ground pretty hard. So your thoughts on that. You've got you an excuse maker, by the way, yeah, and you are. The answer is yes, I was. I'll answer for you. If we go bowling and Cavino stinks, it's always the oil on the lanes isn't right. But that's true. You go with the hook. You can't if the lanes aren't oil, we go to if we go to the gym and play pick up basketball or twenty one or something. If Cavino stinks, had the ball was not inflated the right way? Caveno's an excuse guy with sports. I mean, I never thought of myself that way. But if you want to, like put me out there on national radio as that guy, and you want me to be that guy, then I guess I will be. You're the Hey coup of the man, and Rich is just a degree. He doesn't justify every wrong answer that he gets. On last one's stand, I'm a man that sticks by my mistakes. Rich isn't the guy that justifies every single thing he says wrong. Still, I mean, he is right about the bowling thing, but let's talk about the worst excuses. Let's say he's full of it. I don't know in reality, though it's a tough call. I'm not sure what happened there. I'm really not I see two different angles of it does move a little bit, but enough for that. I don't know worst excuses based on that though.

00:40:25
Speaker 5: It looked painful, Like if you're pulling out and you're just jamming your foot into the ground, that that's like why, why that's like extra damage, Like don't you feel.

00:40:33
Speaker 1: You did that messing around trying to kick a field goal that you hurt your toe. It's possible. I feel like I've done that. So we'll get to your phone calls next. Right here on Covino and Rich
