Find a program near you at learned to Skate USA dot com learn to Skate USA dot com. I'll tell you what skating is a spot where I think a lot of guys look vulnerable. Yeah, I mean, look a Rocky Balboa he ran on the ice when he took Adrian ice skating. Honestly, I do think, not just because we read the promo for it, but if you don't know how to ice skate a little bit.

00:01:10
Speaker 1: I feel like that's one of those things where you would look like such.

00:01:12
Speaker 2: A weak ass in front of a woman if you were like holding the wall and like following on your ass Brian Boitano, Rich acting like he's uh Wayne Gretzky on the skates. Hey. By the way, if you want to see us, we're streaming live. Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube, chatting it up. The chat is growing, chat it up right now. But let me ask you, you're not a good skater. I imagine I'm okay, but I'm not great by any means.

00:01:36
Speaker 1: I'm not good.

00:01:37
Speaker 2: Very stiff, very stiff and rigid. I'm like Balbo. Can't skate backwards? Hell no, no way. Can you stop sideways and make the ice shoot up like on skis? I can on skates. I guess it's the same technique. Probably not. I don't have enough experience. I'm a guido from New Jersey. Not a lot of ice, not a lot of ice, and I wasn't into hockey. So anyway, YouTube dot com slash Covino and Rich FSR stream live. Check us out and stick around because we got show boy mahomes trivia Life of a Showboy Mahomes will be here are brocast Mahomes giving away some prizes and some trivia.

By the way, super pumped about Tiafimo schakor Stevenson in January. I'm a fight fan, I'm Covino. That is Rich.

00:02:47
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Man, I got a hypothetical for you guys.

00:02:51
Speaker 2: But before I do that, I got asked, do you think Adam Thielen helps the Steelers down the stretch when there's both six and the Ravens and the Steelers like it's a battle? Is I'm not feeling said He's going to retire and then go back and retire with Viking. He had a great run there in his prime. That is that a name that excites you or tickles.

00:03:11
Speaker 1: You even a little bit, or no, are you feeling it? I don't know. I feel like.

00:03:17
Speaker 2: Adam I had a good feeling as a reference they made on ESPN like ten years ago.

00:03:21
Speaker 1: I was gonna say five years.

00:03:23
Speaker 2: That seems like a long time ago, but hey, good for him and wishing him the best.

00:03:27
Speaker 1: Here's why hypothetical.

00:03:28
Speaker 2: I want everyone to listen because I feel like if you don't listen, you can understand it. Why I thought we were going to wrap up the young waykup sort of situation where he made up a weak ass excuse, because the only one that comes to mind that's better than his before you're hypothetical is when Dennis Rodman got Quitt cheating it's the best on it. And he said, and I'm paraphrasing here, but when Dennis Rodman, the worm was dating Carmen Electra, he got Quitt cheating on her. Imagine hold on, just think of that for a minute. Imagine being such the man, or maybe not the man, the worm that you cheat on Carmen Electra in her problem. When I first met Kevino, I went to Spencer Gifts just to see her poster he was with her. When I first met Kevino, he had a picture of him and Carmen Electra on his desk. So imagine being so full of yourself or I don't know, such the man, or such a playboy at whatever you want to call it. She catches him as the legend goes cheating on her, walks in on it, and she's like, what.

00:04:28
Speaker 1: Are these women doing here?

00:04:30
Speaker 2: And he says, again paraphrasing, they fell out of the ceiling. They fell from the ceiling. That was his I believe use. So the only thing worse than young way Too saying that, you know, hey, he meant to do that is that And when Peewee Herman went flipping over.

00:04:46
Speaker 1: His bike meant to do that.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: I meant to do that.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: I can't think of any other like weak ass excuses. I mean, man, I'm honestly, any any else come to mind before we move on, because that was one of the highlights last night. It was everywhere on social media because it all it all took us by surprise, like hey man, this dude lit it up in Atlanta, Well listen what was going on?

00:05:10
Speaker 1: What happened there?

00:05:11
Speaker 2: Because we didn't see the ball move upon further investigation, you do see it slip a little bit.

00:05:17
Speaker 4: Do you remember when Geno Smith was with the Jets and he missed team activities and he blamed it on the time zone difference?

00:05:26
Speaker 1: Familiar though that does happen?

00:05:28
Speaker 2: Though it does, And think about how much these guys travel and how confusing it could be. Sometimes you wake up, you know, I wake up and I wonder where I am? Sometimes like where am? I imagine if you're like a rock star professional athlete, could happen?

00:05:42
Speaker 1: I understand, Well, I'll give you one. That's never an excuse.

00:05:45
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to sound righteous, But when we were all younger dudes, your buddy or someone would do something dumb and it's like, oh, it's droke, I was drunk. Is never tell Jamie Fox that an excuse. He blames it on the alcohol. We always chuck it up to hey, I was in my twenty But yeah, that one, it's up for debate. As they used to say in NFL films, you make the call. I think the young Hoku just you know, talking talking truth or is he just thinking? Quick on his feet? Say no, I don't believe I believe him after I see the ball movement a little on one of the clips. One of the clips. I didn't see it until recently because I thought he was full of it. But you know, for like a few seconds, Cove, I'm a big believer in owning your mistakes. In fact, if you see me adamantly defending myself or making any excuse, you could guarantee I genuinely feel that way, because I'll usually be like, yeah, guys, I messed up. I don't know what you want to tell you. So if I'm making excuses, usually because I believe it right. I mean, like I will say in Rex Sports, you're playing pickleball, dan by Er, big golfer, I play softball. If you're at the gym pick up basketball. When grown men makes sports excuses, I just want to be like, yeah, dude, we're all dealing with that. Like some guy misjudges a flyball and softball and he looks like an ass. But you know it's some time of wins, don't But sometimes you do want to explain your side or explain what happened, whatever the case may be. I mean, like you showed up late for work. It may be the lamest of excuses, but sometimes you just want to. I know there's no excuse and I'm late or whatever, but I do want to explain what happened.

00:07:18
Speaker 4: Right, I know, Sam, Sam has another cheating one. There's lots of excuses when it comes to cheating.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: In sports NY, Like, for instance, like what I was saying in Rex Sports, some guy you know gets a bad bounce, just take it, move on with the game. The guy that's like, yeah, man, you know you said you saw a bounce and then the second bounce, whoa ate me up?

00:07:37
Speaker 1: Like yeah, man, stop. Excuses are lame.

00:07:39
Speaker 2: And that's why I think as a pro hit a rock hit a pebble man, Yeah wild, what's your what's your Sam?

00:07:44
Speaker 1: In the world of cheating and excuses.

00:07:46
Speaker 5: Several athletes have used tainted meat as an excuse for when they have a positive doping to like I'm looking at Alberto.

00:07:53
Speaker 1: He said tainted meat, tainted meat.

00:07:55
Speaker 5: Alberto Contador. And then also I think a boxer.

00:07:58
Speaker 4: I think I think it was in the biker Floyd Landis. I think he had a a he tested positive for, like a synthetic and he blamed it on whiskey.

00:08:07
Speaker 2: No Danny g When we started doing Sunday Nights here on Fox Sports Radio. Wasn't there a deodorant, wasn't Tatis?

00:08:13
Speaker 1: Or yeah it was Junior?

00:08:16
Speaker 2: Yeah got something, Yeah you got some treatment done to his dreads.

00:08:20
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's Tank Davis. Yeah, you're getting too comant saying, right.

00:08:25
Speaker 2: A chemical and his deodorant or something like that, or there was some weak ass story.

00:08:30
Speaker 4: So there's always these weak ass excuses. Yeah, let's thinking of Sammy Sosa. Remember he got caught with a corked bat and he said, oh, it's because I was using my practice bat.

00:08:39
Speaker 2: That was a weak one, I told everybody remembers that for sure. But yeah, you're thinking Gervanti Davis got that hair stuff in his eye. I remember that. There was another one with I Haadre. I was I have a story about you me. I can't tell it here, I.

00:08:52
Speaker 1: Don't think.

00:08:55
Speaker 2: Give me permission, and maybe, uh, maybe it's for Covino and rich after hours, you know what, I'll can I tell it like a mild version? Sure, I don't know if you gonna want me to. Let's you say, when comedo is like a single guy sort of back in the day, maybe I probably wouldn't want you to tell to tell the story though, if you have to question it. I see Sam clinching his butt cheeks. Maybe I should have.

00:09:18
Speaker 5: I'm doing the I'm watching you, I'm listening to you.

00:09:21
Speaker 2: If it's going to make me drag, I don't think you should. But I mean, unless that's your mo O, it's a good story. Unless you're from Missouri, sanitize it.

00:09:28
Speaker 1: Please, I'd rather not. Let's just say. Let's just say I just don't have that. We move on.

00:09:37
Speaker 6: Let's just say Covino, No, that is like the guy on the pebble and the ball.

00:09:42
Speaker 1: Just move on. I know where he's going.

00:09:45
Speaker 4: So I'm like, God, you want me to steer this conversation back to Tatis Junior.

00:09:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go back to Junior.

00:09:50
Speaker 4: It was twenty twenty two. He tested positive for how do you say this drug? C L O S T E B O L buyer is a doctor I could buy past the ball. It's a band performance enhancing drug. He initially claimed that he took a medication to treat ringworm, and that that ring the ringworm medication.

00:10:11
Speaker 1: That was it. That was it. I don't know why.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: I think there was a deodorant story too though link to that. I'm serious, But do you get me your pen just for a second, are we playing? I'm gonna write it down. I'd lash it real quick to the people watching on YouTube.

00:10:24
Speaker 1: I'd rather not.

00:10:26
Speaker 2: But if it's like if rich Rich just gets off on trying to make me look bad. You notice this, right? You do notice this?

00:10:33
Speaker 1: All right? So anyway, I have another one here.

00:10:36
Speaker 5: Oh this is according to a Bleacher Report article, Vinny Testaverdi said he threw thirty five picks as a rookie because he was color blind. That's a lot of picks. Thirty five picks because color what? So do you what about after that?

00:10:50
Speaker 1: Did he was? He? Fine?

00:10:51
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Do you believe young Wayku or not? That's the question. And you could hit us up at Covino en Rich. Now you have a hypothetical right now, we can move on. Now my hypothetical. Pay attention. If I said you could win ten million dollars. This is one of those TikTok Instagram hypotheticals, but I thought it was worthy to bring here, like James Pun intended, it's a basketball hypothetical. There you go, Danny g. You got faith in Brenda, your wife regarding what generally well, now that you mentioned it. No, you know you got faith in your girlfriend, Jordan. Depends what we're talking about. Like Danny g said, Dan Byer trusts his wife. I know that it's a good woman. But what if I told you, guys, ten million dollars for your family tax free, ten million dollars. Your wife or girlfriend gets fifty NBA three three pointers to shoot, she has to hit one of them. If she doesn't hit one, you die?

00:12:08
Speaker 1: What? No, what made you think of this? Rich? Will you speak at my funeral?

00:12:15
Speaker 2: Fifty three pointers top of the key, corner wherever you want? Your wife or girlfriend takes fifty three pointers. If she gets one in your family gets ten million dollars. If she goes oh for fifty, you die. I'm good, you know what, because.

00:12:30
Speaker 1: My life is good, really good.

00:12:33
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll take that chance. I've seen Brenda try to shoot a basketball before.

00:12:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think she go oh for fifty? If she'd go.

00:12:39
Speaker 6: Over fifty, I'm not trusted my girlfriend. Jordan, No, missus Bayer get one, Dan or what?

00:12:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, she does top of the key, she'll bank went in for sure. So you within the first thirty would she call glass?

00:12:51
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:12:52
Speaker 2: No way, you're not putting your life on the line for that?

00:12:56
Speaker 1: Why what about the risk card? Wait, this isn't real. This isn't real. I forget death, and it's not some squid game type of thing.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: What if it was honestly something like ten mil or like five years in prison or like, yeah, five years in prison? Okay, wit nasty night. I still wouldn't take that chance. Time's too precious. Five years and I don't trust. Yeah, I don't trust.

00:13:19
Speaker 7: Uh, my wife would miss so I'd be away for five years. That's why.

00:13:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would trust even that over fifty. My damn.

00:13:27
Speaker 2: Hey, spotty boy, our video guy, spot your wife Kristens an in shape like active woman.

00:13:32
Speaker 1: You think Kristen could hit one out of fifty? I think absolutely one. Yeah, I think I think I could get one. Would you sacrifice ten mil for five years in prison?

00:13:41
Speaker 6: Though?

00:13:41
Speaker 1: Yo?

00:13:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it's it's a good hypothetical. That's why I brought it up, because it like one out of fifty uncontested. Like you said, top of the key, I saw some guy put this to the test on TikTok and his girlfriend who is probably unathletic. The waits Danny G describes his wife Brenda. She did underhand Dan dan Byer between her legs like, uh, what would you call it?

00:14:07
Speaker 4: Uh?

00:14:07
Speaker 1: Who's ther ranny style? Yeah? Who would do that back in the day?

00:14:11
Speaker 2: Barry, yeahreak Barry mad Doug's Russo's favorite. She did fifty like that and on I shot twenty eight, she banked him.

00:14:20
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I just wonder, like I.

00:14:21
Speaker 5: Think you pre you would get some practice in with the first couple, you know, twenty thirty. But then if you have the death on the line and you're getting to forty five and you're like, honey, please, so many.

00:14:35
Speaker 1: Shoe cove.

00:14:36
Speaker 2: Is your wife athletic or not? You know, there's so many factors here into this hypothetical. Let me let me make it more reasonable. For a gallic you pressures on obviously one million dollars cash or one year in prison, you Steve Cavino, get twenty shots at the top of the key.

00:14:56
Speaker 1: I'll take that challenge.

00:14:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely out of control, because that's that's the thing. Don't you feel more confident when you're in control? Absolutely would take that one. Would you do that to any one? Mill one? You're in prison? You get twenty shots?

00:15:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would do it.

00:15:13
Speaker 2: Do you get twenty shots packed Staple Center, crowd and everything. Oh, that's that's a different level of that. That's a lot tougher. I think you would need the first ten to get.

00:15:22
Speaker 4: The butterflies out of your system, and then you're hoping to get one out of the Yeah, yep, yeah, that's tough.

00:15:26
Speaker 2: I mean again, you have to factor pressure here real life. That's what's tough about hypotheticals. You got to really put yourself in that situation. And you know, it ties into something Rich showed me before. There's a fitness guy that Rich is a fan of that you see on these infomercials, Vin Sant and he's got this hot girlfriend, Hse his hot model girlfriend. They made like a little friendly bet on whether or not she can make a thirty yard field goal.

00:15:51
Speaker 1: And she did it.

00:15:52
Speaker 2: Yes, she just was pretty improch one perfectly. And you see McAfee do that. You see McAfee do that every Saturday. They give money to charity and college kids. Yeah, but some women. And that's not to say that women aren't great athletes.

00:16:03
Speaker 1: Rich don't.

00:16:04
Speaker 2: They don't have that oomph. I don't have that to push that over sometimes, So to see that happen. That was pretty cool. So would you take that physical challenge? Would you go down the Sunday slide and get the flag out the nose? Would you take the physical challenge or would you say, nah, could I I'm not.

00:16:21
Speaker 1: Taking that risk? Could I throw one more at you? Sure?

00:16:23
Speaker 2: Rich's basketball hypothetical. Let me throw one more at you. It's a baseball one. Yeah, Because I saw the likes of Paul Schimes and Tarrek Schooball and some of the best answering this question.

00:16:36
Speaker 1: Regular guy.

00:16:39
Speaker 2: Played no minor league baseball, but he could have played high school back in the day, or maybe even like college ball at something like maybe like lower level college ball. One hundred pitches from a big leaguer, you getting one hit, dude. I saw the guys from Dude Perfect pull this off. And I'm not saying they're not skillful, because they are, but they did a really great like Little peace On one of the guys from Dude Perfect going through every stage of the minor leagues, lit from little league to the big leagues, and he made contact such hit him as single like an opposite field off the handle, single off a big league pitcher. So you know, who's that writting? Discredit myself? I would say, yeah, how much is online here to make some contact? Yeah, I'd say disnal money. But do you think you could hit one out of one hundred?

00:17:29
Speaker 1: Yeah? Hitches? You know who?

00:17:31
Speaker 2: You know the dude from Barstool the gambling got with the beard as Marty mush contact, Yeah.

00:17:35
Speaker 3: He had.

00:17:39
Speaker 2: He had a big league pitcher throw to him and sort of told like, if you tell someone what's coming, that's another thing too. I think I know by the way, all the pros were like, no one's hitting zero. Zero's the answer. But if you told me, I don't know Cavino, Garrett Cole is throwing one hundred straight fastballs, don't you think halfway through your hundred pitches you'd time it and did you'll be able to like pepp or something.

00:18:05
Speaker 1: Broke it up? Play a little uh yeah, a little peperrack.

00:18:08
Speaker 2: But where you'd go zero for one hundred is when you don't know if a ninety nine mile on hourrow fastball or an eighty nine mile an hour cutters.

00:18:15
Speaker 1: Cut for sure yet, but if someone difference, if someone was.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: Just dialing up fastball, fastball, fastball, one hundred pitches I think you would be able to time it eventually. Well, what are your thoughts? Those are always funs. The bound agrees it goes all fastballs. Yes, but that's just a baseball man.

00:18:30
Speaker 1: But the key to.

00:18:30
Speaker 2: Baseball is not knowing if a breaking ball, curveball, slider is coming.

00:18:36
Speaker 5: We thought that you could not could not produce any more Saw movies, but Rich has just proposed the idea of making Saw eleven Saw sports where there's death on the line and there's always different game, all these different scenarios.

00:18:47
Speaker 2: We'll cut off your testicles if your wife does not make one three porter exactly.

00:18:52
Speaker 5: I mean you just you just added another movie to the to the franchise.

00:18:58
Speaker 1: Is that your cousin can one ball off a big league picker? If not, I'm telling you there's money to be made here.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: If hey, baby, that's a show in the works, who wants to produce it?

00:19:09
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:19:09

00:24:45
Speaker 2: Ready, all right, you fools, I'm here Patrick Mahomes in t ball because of my gun.

00:24:52
Speaker 3: The coaches made a special rule for me.

00:24:54
Speaker 2: Ay, I can only play first base, B I had to roll the ball to first base.

00:25:00
Speaker 4: Or C.

00:25:01
Speaker 1: I can only play in the outfield Jason base. Yes, wow, wow, I had a gun.

00:25:11
Speaker 2: I had a gun, just like my dad. I'm not gonna lie as the number one T ball coach in the valley. There's a couple of kids that have some good arms, and when they throw to a not ready kid at first, you do hold your breath like, oh crap. Yeah, so I can see that, Patrick.

00:25:26
Speaker 4: All right, right after Kat Jason halfway to see in our turbo, in our football.

00:25:30
Speaker 1: We move on a round two.

00:25:32
Speaker 3: All right, Patrick mahomes here.

Speaker 1: Glad this dude retired way before I came into the league.

Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor request after he played his last game in ninety four? A the referees yellow flag, B the cruise chief whistle, or C A little square of field turf.

00:25:52
Speaker 1: Jathon Jason for the sweep field turf. No, Rich Rich for the steel. I would imagine the flag Rich on the board. Yo flak yo. All right, So Jason Rich both have a round us. We go to the third all right, round three.

00:26:14
Speaker 2: By the way that I mentioned we're going to try to tickle your tonsils with every play and every question.

00:26:19
Speaker 7: All right, so I reads on every every play.

00:26:24
Speaker 1: Told you okay, all right?

00:26:27
Speaker 2: What was that once quoted saying about legacy. I would like to be remembered as the winning is quarterback the game has ever seen B. I would love to be remembered for the handful of songs that have inspired Travy's wife to write.

00:26:41
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, show boy.

00:26:44
Speaker 3: Or I want to be remembered as a winner, not.

00:26:48
Speaker 4: Just a quarterback, Jason, I see, yes, you're winner, winner in the Beautiful Islands. Yeah, so you want to be remembered not just as a QB.

00:27:06
Speaker 3: Huh, I want to be remembered as a winner.

00:27:10
Speaker 1: That's right. So five and oh, next five game. Yeah, I was gonna say, you're gonna have to show something here at the end of the season.

00:27:15
Speaker 3: Five and oh, let's go tickling tonsols and some other things.

00:27:18
Speaker 2: If that's a coach anthy Reid talking about tickling tonsils, yeah, we hear that again.

00:27:25
Speaker 1: You got that's him. You know, that's how we roll.

00:27:29
Speaker 5: We're gonna try to tickle your tonsils on.

00:27:32
Speaker 3: On every play every game.

00:27:33
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, yeah Jason and Honolulu. Congratulations you Jason, hang on the line, kid info. As soon as the ship mental balls arrived. One's going out to you there and Patrick will see you next week.

00:27:45
Speaker 3: Willing to do anything.

00:27:46
Speaker 2: Playoffs, Let's go all righteer guys, winter down.

00:27:53
Speaker 1: By Patrick, Thank you Patrick? All right? Now? My thought.

00:27:57
Speaker 2: Is that my thought is that for Patrick and the Chiefs to make the playoffs, they got to win the next five. Two teams that we talked about yesterday need to continue to flounder. And those two teams are the Indianapolis Colts, who have one of the toughest schedules ahead, and your division rival, Patrick, the Chargers. I think the Chargers, if they start slipping up because they're so inconsistent, that I think for the Chiefs to make it, the two teams that you got to discount, right are probably Indianapolis and the.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: Chargers calls are slipping a little bit.

00:28:38
Speaker 2: Who do you counting in as a wildcard? Danny Buffalo behind the Patriots?

00:28:42
Speaker 4: Right, this is tough and we're gonna have to see how that broken left hand plays a part with Justin Herbert and the Chargers. Of course, his coach said he's not sure if he's going to have to miss any time or not.

00:28:54
Speaker 2: The way the Chiefs make the playoffs is simple. And again I'm not schedule watching too much, Sam, But when you're just look at the the AFC, one team's going to make out of the North, whether it's the Ravens or the Steelers. You could argue the Ravens, right, you rather see them in there, or unless you're an Aaron Rodgers fan. So have you seen that meme of Aaron Rodgers all bundled up with his bloody knows and it says it looks like he looks like one of the thieves from Home Alone, one of the thieves Kevin mccallister's trying to keep out of the house.

00:29:22
Speaker 1: It's funny, It is kind of when you see it's funny.

00:29:25
Speaker 2: The North only has one one representative in the playoffs. Let's be fair there, right. I think in the AFC East we're quick to want to say that the Patriots and Buffalo Bills both make it right, which means two wild cards in the two divisions, the South and the West. And if you genuinely believe the cult will collapse and you got Jacksonville and Houston. If you're the Chiefs, you need to hope that the Chargers somehow along this path slip up and they play each other once. The Chargers do play the Chiefs one. So that's that's the way in.

00:30:01
Speaker 7: Chargers also have a game against the Texans in Week seventeen that could have a lot of playoff implications.

00:30:08
Speaker 1: No doubt, in fact, a big game this week.

00:30:11
Speaker 2: We could we could consider the Chiefs playoff conversation may be done if they lose this week to the Texans. If they lose this week to the Texans, they have to win out go ten and seven and hope for other teams to lose, or if they're able to penetrate their defense and look solid, then the whole narrative changes like this said, oh yeah, hey, well you know, let's go to dB for an update, and then before the show's over, well, we'll spend some time going over as I'm calling it, like the five ridiculously good games of Week fourteen, like we're in luck, we are so lucky as NFL fans.

00:30:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Steelers are going to be in one of those games. Today.

00:30:41
Speaker 7: They claim to wande receiver Adam thieling off of waivers from the Minnesota Vikings. Another team I think that could be in that slate, the Lions. They still don't know if they're going to have Aman Ross Saint Brown against the Cowboys on Thursday.

00:30:53
Speaker 1: Brown says it's still up in the air.

00:30:54
Speaker 7: After he missed his second straight practice today because of an ankle injury.

00:30:58
Speaker 1: Sasame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's ow our turn.

00:31:00
Speaker 7: Donate this holiday season at sesame dot org because the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you. Bunch of news from the world of college football.

00:32:37
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of Aaron Rodgers and his bloody nose, Today's forty two today. All right, hey, listen, get a pen and paper, everyone in the studio, because let's make our picks. I want to talk about five games between Thursday Night Football and Sunday. That to me, I'm not even exaggerating. It's playoff football. We're in week fourteen, and some of these games feel like playoff up well because the steaks are that high.

00:33:03
Speaker 1: So I want to go round the room.

00:33:04
Speaker 2: We'll see who comes closest in a five for five possible parlay this coming weekend.

00:33:09
Speaker 1: We'll do it next. Cavin Know Wretch on FSR. Tak your tonsils on every every play. Let's make it a December to remember.

00:33:22
Speaker 2: Oh just a little a couple jingle bells behind this, Sam and it's a Christmas song. Collective soul style, Babe, jump me ow Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. No more waiting your goals start now. Oh, Cyber Monday deals are still going on. Take your workouts around the world to have punk style with Nordic track and I fit say big on treadmills, bikes and rowers at Nordic track dot com, Nordic Track train anywhere, explore everywhere.

00:33:56
Speaker 1: Is that the goal? One day you want to home Jim, Yeah.

00:34:00
Speaker 2: I get that counhurd money some damn Patrick Denario some day, yo, I want to go around the room, Sam, can you have you hit me up with some majestic NFL music? Because there are guys, I miscounted six games that feel like playoff football. We're in week fourteen. I feel like Chris Harrison in the two thousands on The Bachelor. It's the most dramatic week ever. This stuff is intense. Six games that I feel like are gonna determine the path of the road to the super Bowl in the AFC and NFC. So around the room instinct, no breakdown, no analysis.

00:34:45
Speaker 1: Well, maybe dive into that a little more later.

00:34:47
Speaker 2: In the week, but just your gut instinct on these six NFL games.

00:34:53
Speaker 1: Feeling nice holiday.

00:34:54
Speaker 2: We don't even need to go over point spreads. I'm talking just straight up winners money line. No well, no even points spreads because summer seven. Some are five, some are one and two and a half. Let's start with Thursday Night football Amazon, who, By the way, I really am impressed with their coverage. Someone made the point the other day that they've really come into their own, like it's really fun coverage.

00:35:16
Speaker 1: Night the Night cab portion is a lot of fun. Really do well.

00:35:19
Speaker 2: Amazon's good. But have you ever seen Amazon Women on the Moon? It's a classic in the nineties. I believe I did look it up, all right. So let's start with that game, Cowboys at Lions. Lions are favored by three and a half. I don't care about the spread, but just letting you know. Cowboys at Lions, Okay, six and five and one for the Cowboys. Lions are seven and five. A battle of stay in the mix, Danny, let's.

00:35:44
Speaker 1: Start with there. What do you think, Danny J. Last week?

00:35:47
Speaker 4: I thought the Lions were so hungry that they were going to claw their way to that victory. But the Cowboys are too good on both sides of the ball. I feel like you'll be a close game, but Cowboys prevail.

00:35:57
Speaker 1: Cove bam, I agree comple with Danny G.

00:36:01
Speaker 2: Like you couldn't win that Thanksgiving game at home with M and M and Jack White there. I don't know you had to win that one. They're not showing me a lot Cowboys. Cowboys are showing you something.

00:36:10
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was.

00:36:11
Speaker 2: Sam's gonna agree with me, but he got in my head because I knew something was wrong, and he kept pointing to Ben Johnson's not there, Something's not clicking with the offense.

00:36:18
Speaker 1: Sam Laporta's out. They just to me.

00:36:20
Speaker 2: I think the Lions it's an off year. I think they're gonna miss the playoffs. I like the Cowboys as well. Sammy, you know what I will take. I will take the Lions.

00:36:29
Speaker 6: Oh all right, dan Byer, Lions, okay, spotty boy.

00:36:38
Speaker 1: Never go against Dan Byer. I'm taking Lions.

00:36:41
Speaker 2: Okay, good game though they go all right, never go early games. Let's zip here. Steelers at Ravens. Steelers at Ravens, Steelers uh seven point dogs in Baltimore.

00:36:52
Speaker 1: I'll be quick.

00:36:53
Speaker 2: I just think that Steelers look like a sinking ship. Ravens aren't playing great, but I think good enough to win, so I'm going Ravens to keep it quick. I'm with Rich all the way. I'm at Ravens, Danny g.

00:37:04
Speaker 4: I think if Steelers need this so badly, they play one of their better games of the season.

00:37:08
Speaker 2: Okay, Dan Byer, what do you think Ben Ravens Ravens, Spotty boy, I'll take Ravens on that raven not just because Dan Buyer said it and Iowa Samuel.

00:37:17
Speaker 5: I mean, did you guys watch them against the Bengals. The Ravens, they were stinky. But I will take the Ravens. I'll take because I don't know Steelers are also stinky in their own ways.

00:37:26
Speaker 1: I'll take the Ravens.

00:37:27
Speaker 2: A game that, my goodness, it has the road Colts two and a half point favorites against the home team Jacksonville Jags.

00:37:34
Speaker 1: So both eight and four.

00:37:36
Speaker 2: This game is huge Colts Jags, Dan Biro, Let's come with you?

00:37:42
Speaker 1: Give me Jacksonville Jacksonville. Okay, Jags. You know I think they're sinking ship. So I'm with dB on this one.

00:37:49
Speaker 2: The Colts may show a little scent of life somewhere, but I think it's it's not.

00:37:52
Speaker 4: Looking good for them, Danny g Colts gotta have it. They're not going to lose three in a row.

00:37:57
Speaker 1: Okay, Spotty Colts.

00:38:00
Speaker 2: Pavino first instinct, Jacks Jack's all right, I was Sam Jaguar Jaguars, alright, Uh, where do we go from here.

00:38:10
Speaker 1: Guys. How about Bears at Packers? Oh yes, put it in my veins, Joe, Packers are seven point favorites. Wow, damn.

00:38:19
Speaker 2: Is there an injury dan Byer that I'm not thinking of that they just think experience home field?

00:38:23
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:38:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that some people don't believe in the Bears. I didn't, and now they're trying to prove me wrong. But at some point, all good things must come to an end, and maybe this winning streak is that.

00:38:33
Speaker 2: So you're going to pack here. Bears keep trying to prove people right. Right, I'm going Packers as well. I think home field and I think it's it's a big one for the Packers. I think they're gonna start their dominance bag. Not so fast, Kayleb Williams. We've downplayed the Bears every week. Like Dan Byer's I'm sticking with the Bears on this one.

00:38:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:38:50
Speaker 4: And if you got in early on this, it was a five and a half point line. I picked the Packers before the season began to represent in the Super Bowl.

00:38:58
Speaker 1: So I'm going Green Bay. Sami, Sweetheart, Bears have won five in a row. They're due for a loss.

00:39:02
Speaker 6: Give me the Packers, okay, and Spotty Bears dumb Bears, dumb bears.

00:39:08
Speaker 2: All right, two more quickies. Let's go Fellers. Texans at Chiefs, Chiefs by five and a half. Don't worry about the points read we're just picking winners. But the Texans defense, Chiefs at Chiefs at home. You know what I'll start on this one. I think just when you think the Chiefs are out, they always somehow find a way to stay alive. I'm going Chiefs, even though I think the Texans defense will get them a lot of trouble. And I still think the Texans will make the playoffs, but I think Chiefs here. I hate to say it, but I think Chiefs. I was thinking Texans until I heard Andy Reid's speech, and I'm going Chiefs all the.

00:39:44
Speaker 1: Way, Dan Byer, I'll take the Texans.

00:39:47
Speaker 2: Texans, all right it Spotty Um Chiefs, Chiefs, Danny g I think they're gonna slug it out, low scoring game, Chiefs gotta have it.

00:39:55
Speaker 1: So Casey and Samuel give me.

00:39:58
Speaker 5: The tonsil ticklers, I mean Chiefs, and uh, let's wrap it up, guys.

00:40:02
Speaker 1: Last one.

00:40:03
Speaker 2: Monday night football tickets are way expensive. I guess a lot of transplants from the East coast out of here. I just looked tickets like seven hundo to one thousand regular seats for Eagles at Chargers, the flailing Eagles who are trying to hang on in a way, right, I mean the cowboys are on their tail. Two eight and four teams Eagles, Chargers, What say you, Danny g.

00:40:25
Speaker 1: Oh, both teams so inconsistent.

00:40:27
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm gonna say the Eagles get it together?

00:40:32
Speaker 2: Eagles for Danny g What do you think, cove first instinct? I'm going Chargers again? Again, both inconsistent. So I think Eagles. Eagles find the way. There's no real home field advantage here. Eagles will make it worth it. They'll again confuse us. What do you think, Sam.

00:40:48
Speaker 1: Eagles, Dan Byer.

00:40:50
Speaker 6: Eagles because of Herbert's hand. Oh, spotty boy, doctor dan uh Coberts. There you go and there you have it.

00:40:58
Speaker 1: Guys.

00:40:59
Speaker 2: I'll post this us tomorrow and we'll we'll see who could go six for six. Maybe we'll see you, guys Manyana. Until then, a Rivederci babe you in the primis.

00:41:09
Speaker 1: Later, guys,
