So we were talking a lot about nostalgia and how the NBA leaned in hard last night Roundball Rock Michael Jordan's little sit down with Mike Turrico, and we talked about the balance quite a bit about how the NBA balance is it correctly, it's going to be fantastic. Right If they do a little bit of nostalgia but really highlight the new stars, we'll be all good.

00:01:01
Speaker 1: We'll be all good.

00:01:02
Speaker 2: Someone hit us up right before the break and said, yeah, I don't think people are creative anymore, and I just think that's a BS thing.

00:01:09
Speaker 1: I think people are more creative than ever.

00:01:10
Speaker 2: You see more funny videos on the daily on TikTok, then like a Saturday Night Live will ever supply you with. Everyone's very creative. You see what people do on social media. Everyone's funny, everyone's creative. It's a competitive world because everyone has an outlet. I just think creativity isn't necessarily rewarded. Because if I ask you, what do you think the biggest grossing movies in the theater and Netflix were over the last handful of years, and I gave you the list of them, there's a commonality. Can you tell me what the commonality is with these movies? Top Gun, Maverick not original, they're familiarity. But that's just bros. That proves the other guy's point. Spider Man Barbie, which is just a concept of a doll that's been around forever, Happy Gilmour too, Beverly Hills, Cop four, ax lef coming to America.

00:02:04
Speaker 1: That doesn't prove the guy's point.

00:02:05
Speaker 2: It does because it's that work harder, works smarter, not harder, mentality of just hey, let's regurgitate some stuff because we know it'll sell tickets. No, it's people that are taking a chance. There's major movie companies don't want it to it's chances on things that are original. It's it's not a matter of lack of creativity, it's a lack of a movie studio is going to say, Wow, you have a really cool creative idea about a drama. Yeah, that might be the dopest script of all time, but we're gonna go with so. I mean, Beverly Hills copic set's still creative, but production companies are are not. Don't blame in it for the money making it seem like people are less creative.

00:02:42
Speaker 1: That's I think that's ridiculous.

00:02:43
Speaker 2: I think it's just that it's safety in nostalgia, which proves multiple points we've made people love it.

00:02:50
Speaker 1: Well.

00:02:50
Speaker 2: We'll wrap it up with your phone calls because there's an in between.

00:02:54
Speaker 1: There's a balance.

00:02:55
Speaker 2: Like Rich said, remember if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, tell your friends about the Coveni and Rich show, and make the iHeartRadio app your number one pre set. I have a question, and we'll wrap it up with Manny being Manny. You noil passo, Maney, what's your question? From that, I'll go to Manny and then I'll then I'll end with a little deep thought for you.

00:03:11
Speaker 1: What's up, Manny, Manny faces, How are we doing?

00:03:14
Speaker 3: How we doing well? The NBA back in the day was a bit more fun than it is today now. I remember the commercials. They had the slogan that they had celebrities come out like the NBA. It's fantastic. I mean, come on. They brought John Tesh's theme song back that was always a banger and back in the day antil today. The only thing that one of my nephews and I talk about a lot is, for example, Check and Charles have this habit of downgrading today's NBA instead of promoting it, trying to make make the stars shine a little bit more. They don't play. Oh it's not like we used to be. Oh it's not they're not.

00:03:49
Speaker 2: We brought that point up, and I'm glad you echoed it. Manny's true to her, there's a big difference. You know what Major League Baseball does the opposite when I hear broadcasters. A great example, Ron Darling did a really great job with that. Ron Darling on TBS and he's, you know, on the usual Sny for the Mets. Ron Darling's quick to say, Yo, I threw ninety two and I had two pitches. These guys are throwing one hundred and two and they have four pitches. He's very quick to want to give props to Yo. These guys could play.

00:04:19
Speaker 1: Except for Jeter. He's like, Betts can't do that jump step as good as me. Yeah, except angry old dudes like Derek Jeter. But some great points, Manny, You're not wrong about that. What was my question for you?

00:04:30
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you did say you had a question to wrap up the nostalgia, probably about regurgitating old ideas. Next question, Oh yeah, good, thank you, Hollywood. You very well could have an Xbox, a PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Why do you, Steve Cavino, like to break out your little handheld device that has every Nintendo game ever loaded? Because there's something comforting about nostalgia. It's not better. You think bases loaded is better than mL BE the show you think you think Baseball Stars and adding original is more of a financial risk, and you're more guaranteed a slam dunk with something that's familiar with other people. I'm just saying, I play the audience wants I play MLB the show with my kid once in a while now. And to think of that compared to RBI Baseball, whoa are we playing? What do we think was good? Trust me, things are better now. Just the nostalgia really.

00:05:26
Speaker 1: Hit it in the courts. All right.

00:05:28
Speaker 2: So the rest of your thoughts at Covino and Rich on social media at Fox Sports Radio, and we got a live chat going on our YouTube page Coveno and Rich FSR on YouTube. Now, I want you to stick around because we do Midweek Major every Wednesday, the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. We decide here on the show collectively, are these stories mid week or major? By the way, we might have to rebrand the show because kids are using different words all the time and we have to call it like chopped fire.

00:06:03
Speaker 1: Oh, we're changing it. Okay, we're valid.

00:06:06
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, we gotta we gotta come up with something new made shop bro. Yeah, we gotta figure out shopped. We are shopped cove. I say, we keep it and we tell the kids what's all right, I'll do that, So stick around for those stories. But something else we do every Wednesday is well, we spread the wisdom Rich Mike's where it's a wisdom.

00:06:28
Speaker 1: It's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:06:30
Speaker 4: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

00:06:40
Speaker 1: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. Now.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: I have to implore people, if you're not watching on the YouTube page YouTube dot com slash at Covine on Rich FSR. I say that because Mike has now decided he's gonna stick around on Wednesdays, because he doesn't rob you of seeing of.

00:07:00
Speaker 1: The live experience. Yes, I am a beautiful man, that's right. And you could see Covino play the pan flute. Yes, I learned from Zomfir only the best.

00:07:11
Speaker 2: So Mike your words of wisdom live and on the YouTube chat as we do this, let's go.

00:07:17
Speaker 5: Real piece is choosing not to wreck things when you could. If you aren't capable of wrecking things, you're not peaceful. You're just a house plant.

00:07:33
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, whole lot. If you could repeat that verbatim, you win. By the way, I don't even think Mike could repeat that one. The turbo balls are really nice, man, he got a nice firm grip. We didn't get our full official inventory, but these are what they look like. Yeah, well it's going to be different color. But this is this is the prototyle.

00:07:51
Speaker 1: This is the posto shipment is on the way in case you won one?

00:07:53
Speaker 2: Are so if you could repeat that word for word, I just think we have them do it one. Yeah, not only do you need to do it again. I didn't even knownderstand that. I was like, I was so the music and everything. I was like, it's deep, all right, super deep. A real piece is choosing not to wreck things when you could. If you aren't capable of wrecking things, you're not peaceful. You're just a house plant.

00:08:24
Speaker 5: Man.

00:08:24
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sort of blown away by that one.

00:08:26
Speaker 2: Seven all right, nine nine on Fox. Understand it. Deliver it verbatim and you win.

00:08:34
Speaker 1: I understand that.

00:08:36
Speaker 2: I really don't okay you, but don't repeat it.

00:08:41
Speaker 5: Just basically, in order to be a peaceful person, you have to be capable of violence. If you're not capable of violence, you're not a houseful You're just house plant, right, You're just ineffectual.

00:08:50
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, okay, fair, Yeah, you will understand it on your deathbedd nice, that's gonna come to you one day.

00:08:58
Speaker 1: Thank you, get it now.

00:08:59
Speaker 2: You know what you want, one of these turbo balls, get a get out of this, get all over these bad boys. If you could repeat it verbatim, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's light them up all right now while we wait for a winner. In Mike's words, Wiz and Mike always great, toeing you, thank you, Mike. So you guys, I don't care what Dann Bayer says. You run this place to make Yeah, well that means a lot. That was my understanding when we started here. So Mike runs this place. Yeah from who?

00:09:26
Speaker 1: Who? Cavino? Who said that?

00:09:27
Speaker 2: Who?

00:09:28
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it was just curious.

00:09:29
Speaker 4: I'm just curious, out of curiosity, who said that man right there runs this place? It was the I thought, So that's what I thought. That's exactly what I thought.

00:09:39
Speaker 1: Well, it certainly wasn't me. Maybe happened in a dream. I don't no, you told me back then that nobody told you guys that. It was just kind of implied. You just thought that. Yeah, Mike was always here.

00:09:51
Speaker 5: It's an easy assumption.

00:09:52
Speaker 1: He was always here. He has his own little office, and he's way older than all right, he just called you. Why, oh yeah, where's the wisdom?

00:10:01
Speaker 5: You got?

00:10:02
Speaker 1: Wisdom, Mike, Thank you for running this place, Thanks for being our friends.

00:10:05
Speaker 3: Thank you.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: All right, now, before we get to midweek major chopped, before we get a winner on Mike's words of wisdom, I want to talk about Brock party for a second, and I promise you I'm not going to go the typical forty nine or QB conversation that every other JABBRONI has. Kyle Shanahan, shust I get it. Kyle Shanahan is quarterback friendly. It's no doubt about it. When you really look back and you're like, interestingly enough, super handsome. But Jimmy Garoppolo is not a super Bowl level quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo really benefited from being a guy that knew how to play with Kyle Shanahan. Okay, you saw Trey Lance couldn't really adapt, but when called Brock, Purty became the guy, the guy that ended up getting the team to the super Bowl, multiple deep playoff runs and up getting fifty sixty million dollars. Unfortunately, turf Toe has got the better or Brock this year so far. Yet my Niners hit at five and two. He's one and one, which means four and one for mac Jones. They play the Texans and then the Giants. If Purdy's tow continues to irritate and you don't want to push it, and I know right now he practiced, but nothing's official. Let's just say mac Jones plays the next two weeks and the forty nine ers are sitting at seven and two, six and one with mac Jones. I'm not a fool. I'm not gonna be like it's a quarterback controversy. Are they gonna bench party? They're not gonna bench party if he's ready to go? But what does that say about Kyle Shanahan? What does it say about mac Jones? What does it say about anyone? How do you decipher that? Do you decipher well? Anyone with an ounce of talent could play under Kyle Shanahan. Do you interpret it as Jones on the rated the whole time?

00:12:01
Speaker 1: Do it?

00:12:02
Speaker 2: I think that you just have to have that right chemistry. Do you look at it a kind of quarterback that could play under that kind of system.

00:12:09
Speaker 1: I think that's why it works.

00:12:10
Speaker 2: Mac Jones then, based on man, if he did play two more weeks and he was six and one, do you say mac Jones then definitely deserves a shot to be a QB in the NFL. Or as they has also said that he's not trying to take brock Purty's job. Is brock Purty's job, and he's just trying to do his best in the metime, a great job. I think the way you need to look at it is he's providing a great luxury for no urgency to bring brock Purty back prematurely, giving him the perfect amount of time to heal. He's doing his job at the highest level you could do it. He saw missing Purty and he's going to recover and hopefully come back and do just as good, if not better.

00:12:46
Speaker 1: Of a job.

00:12:47
Speaker 2: You saw Sam Darnold with the forty nine ers not on the field as much as you heard people say. You know, he could fit in pretty well with Shanahan. He goes and gets his chance in Minnesota, then goes gets his deal for Dan Byer Seahawk. Is Sam Darnold a guy that you know played under Shanahan. And then you know Minnesota is a very offensive friendly system as well.

00:13:10
Speaker 4: Well, I would say this that they're all kind of from those same sort of tentacles. So the Seahawks hire Clint Kubiak, who had worked with Kyle Shanahan and worked with Sam Darnold, so there was familiarity there. But I think it's I think you guys are hitting on it. It's not every quarterback works with Kyle Shanahan. It's the fact that the offense works so well if you could just have the quarterback do what he needs to do.

00:13:35
Speaker 2: And I don't want to be disrespectful to brock Perty and say, hey, why they go waste fifty million dollars a year on brock Perty when they could have just had mac Jones, because it doesn't work like that.

00:13:43
Speaker 1: Right, You got to pay your guy when he's there, especially after you stalked him in that stairwell and told him you loved him. That is true.

00:13:50
Speaker 4: Also, I also think that the decisions between Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo were different because remember when Garoppolo was acquired, one like the first six games with him, right, and then it was just the one throw that he would make or not be able to make, or the one mistake during a game that he would make that you just had had you scratching your head.

00:14:10
Speaker 2: Then one time, Jimmy, there was always one right, one decision a.

00:14:13
Speaker 1: Game where you're like, ah.

00:14:15
Speaker 4: And we look at Super Bowl fifty four Emanuel Sanders, right like, that's that's what we do. Like Trey Lance just was never gonna work out. And Shannan's talked about at least recently on why they thought the evaluation was a certain way. But Garoppolo wasn't as bad as people wanted. But Party could do, Party could make that throw. But I don't think he was that different than Jimmy Garoppolo because I just felt that Garoppolo was actually pretty decent with the forty nine.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: I always think to dB Dan Bayer is like we started throwing terms around like system quarterbackground, like they were a bad thing.

00:14:49
Speaker 1: He's just a system quarterback.

00:14:50
Speaker 2: System When in reality and in retrospect, if you're a system quarterback and you're able to play in that system and play effectively, man, look at you. You think that's a bad thing, like Brock pretty so contract doesn't make you an adaptable, makes you.

00:15:02
Speaker 1: An adaptable guy.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: I'm able to win under this system, and I think that it's like, remember how goat used to be a bad thing and now it stands for the greatest of all time. We're gonna look back and be like, remember system A system quarterback was sort of insulting. If you're able to adapt, you're getting paid. Man, If you're winning us, all that matters.

00:15:18
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's adaptability, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's like being typecast. If you're in a sitcom for ten years. How many actors would love to have been on a sitcom for ten years? Granted you're known for the rest of your life and maybe for your craft. It isn't but there are a lot of people that would like to be in your spot. So if you work within that system to your point, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

00:15:39
Speaker 2: But we looked at it like, yeah, he's not a Cam Newton of sorts. Yeah, exactly what did he really win? I mean, great, I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but you know, if you're that kind of guy, could you have played.

00:15:49
Speaker 1: In a system?

00:15:50
Speaker 2: I don't know, And it's and what it does though again, this is no insult to a mac Jones or any other quarterback that is works in a system. I don't think that guy necessarily works when free agency hits and they're like, all right, it's time for me to get paid, because you need another tentacle, like you said, a guy that works in a system, like a Shanahan, one of the disciples of maybe that coaching tree. Because I don't think a mac Jones could really just go anywhere, no and be successful.

00:16:23
Speaker 1: Correct, he hasn't. Yeah in New England as free agency weird sometimes.

00:16:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, not that he had a fair shake at being the starter in Jacksonville, but he was able to move on and go to San Francisco.

00:16:36
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:16:36
Speaker 2: So just just an interesting thought that the Niners' biggest great problems. Yeah, it is like the Niner rock Party, a lot of room to get better, you know what.

00:16:45
Speaker 1: I wonder if Purdy could go somewhere else and play as well, because we haven't seen him on another team.

00:16:52
Speaker 2: That was always my thought, damn Byer, and I was I'm never against the guy getting the money. To me. It's like, yo, go get your money. But I remember thinking like, yeah, elite quarterback money when I just wonder, what are the teams like if if Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen were a free agent, every team.

00:17:07
Speaker 1: Would be like me, me, maybe, yeah, Brock Purdy.

00:17:09
Speaker 2: I just wondered if if that had come to it, would would ten teams be like we want him, we want him.

00:17:14
Speaker 4: I don't know it was it was the whole negotiation, Like Danny's right, like he was worth fifty million to the forty nine ers, but he probably wasn't into the other thirty teams. Maybe that was the leverage the forty nine ers had. But even last year when we're ripping on Dak, I felt that you would take Dak Prescott over Brock Party, except if you're the San Francisco forty nine ers and we rip on Dak all the time. But for how Perty fits, he's worth it to San Francisco.

00:17:41
Speaker 1: You know what it's like.

00:17:41
Speaker 2: It's like any relationship or business partnership, like the person you're with that makes you so happy. You might realize like, yeah, other people might not get it, but I get it, and you're the only one that needs to get it.

00:17:56
Speaker 1: Someone might say, like, why do you guys love I was Sam so much? He fits fit? He works with our system. He may go to another show and they're like, who is this guy? This guy is the same, But to us, I would say it fits the Coveno on Rich system like a.

00:23:34
Speaker 1: With Bad Bunny.

00:23:35
Speaker 9: As you know, several people have expressed their discontent with you this year's choice for the halftime show, several petitions being created. They had a counter programmed Super Bowl halftime show with a conservative group, so during the annual Fall Owners meeting in New York, at Else explained that the process of selecting.

00:23:54
Speaker 1: This year's performance was carefully thought through.

00:23:57
Speaker 9: He said that they're not sure they've ever selected an artist where it didn't have some sort of blowback or criticism, and it's pretty hard to do when you have literally millions of people watching the show. So he's confident it's gonna be a great show. Also said that Bad Bunny understands the platform that he's on and that there's no plans for him to be replaced. So either watch Bad Bunny or go grab some snacks during Super Bowl halftime midweek or major This is so weak.

00:24:20
Speaker 2: Nice as the story though, the actual outcry everyone being a big sports baby.

00:24:26
Speaker 1: It's about the decision. Do I like Bad Bunny?

00:24:29
Speaker 3: No?

00:24:30
Speaker 1: Is he American? Yes?

00:24:31
Speaker 2: So shut your face. No one complained when the Stones did it. Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, thing coldplay, Elton John. They're not American. This dude's from Puerto Rico. Shut your pie holes. It doesn't matter if doesn't have to sell with Oh yeah, there you go. Sixty thousand people signed a petition for George Strait or some country act. Get over it. Stop being a bunch of wienies. Bad Bunny's gonna do it. And last I heard j Lo said, she's down. We get some fine women on there.

00:24:59
Speaker 1: We'll have fun. Stop crying, it's no big deal. Watch it, enjoy it, and shut up.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: I never heard people cry so much about fifteen minutes of their lives.

00:25:09
Speaker 1: Get a life, weenies. This is weak week.

00:25:13
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge bad Mooney fan, but do you see me, bitch any complaining.

00:25:18
Speaker 1: You know why?

00:25:19
Speaker 2: I now have four months to get Rosetta Stone and figure it out. Listen, it'll be fun. You might not understand everything, but hey, roll with it. But you know it's not true that AI fake banner that was floating around Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Travis Trupt, Jason el Dean, Aaron Lewis.

00:25:37
Speaker 1: There was like that fake that was fake.

00:25:39
Speaker 2: I'm sure people have seen like what might be the alternative handtime showing.

00:25:42
Speaker 1: Up this stupid petition like that's gonna do anything. It's like the person that's had the supermarket that's like, can you sign this? I'm like, no, I don't live here. What I don't speak English? Hey? Can you can you sign this? About?

00:25:53
Speaker 3: No?

00:25:53
Speaker 1: I live it? I make something up.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: There was about a chance of Goodell being like, you know what, we heard the people and we're gonna take back the honor. The only time there was only one time listening to the people worked, and that was when they changed the look of Sonic the Hedgehog.

00:26:07
Speaker 1: At the movie. Yes, remember that story where like he looked all weird and they said.

00:26:11
Speaker 2: All right, well, well the cracker barrel thing where they blew cracker rarells've been a big marketing scheme though, Yeah, so big thank you spot that was you done?

00:26:18
Speaker 1: Are good? Yeah, Josh, thanks us take it away then, all right.

00:26:23
Speaker 9: Sticking with the some other revelations from the NFL owners meeting, So they're making some big changes to the Pro Bowl this year. So in an attempt to make the Pro Bowl quote more attractive to both players participating and also the fans, the Pro Bowl will actually move to Tuesday of Super Bowl Week, taking place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, which is where the fan fest, the NFL fan Fest will be taking place that week. As you know, the format switched to flag football in twenty twenty three, and the hopes is to highlight the game more to pump up flag football, which will be part of the twenty twenty eight Olympics right here in LA. So the format will still remain the same with AFC versus NFC, but the Manning Bros. Will Not be coaching this year unfortunately. So uh yeah, midweek or major, major in every way. I'll tell you why.

00:27:10
Speaker 2: On a selfish level, we should be out there broadcasting mind which means more star power as far as just stopping by, and we're going to see a great opportunity to start taking the Pro Bowl more serious, especially since this an Olympic sport, so they got things to play for. And I'm really hoping Pete Weber's out there because he's my favorite Pro Bowl.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: Ok, I get dead different Pro Bowl. Oh well, either way sounds cool to me.

00:27:32
Speaker 2: I think this is is major.

00:27:35
Speaker 1: You said Tuesday, the week of the Super Bowl.

00:27:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, that means all the media and the press that get to that host city early. Like you said Tuesday, is usually a down day, Dan Buyer, is that the day we usually just go get like a sandwich and nothing's doing.

00:27:47
Speaker 1: Tuesday's usually media party nights. Yeah, which I remember going to last year and I was like, no one was there.

00:27:54
Speaker 5: It was lame.

00:27:54
Speaker 1: I saw Rob Parker were like, let's get out of here, let's get some free wind. So that only two Tuesday. I think this is great and it'll be fun.

00:28:04
Speaker 2: And you know what, I like to innovate or die thing right, always got to change if it's not working.

00:28:09
Speaker 1: It wasn't working. Yeah, I think this is a good idea. By the way, to add.

00:28:13
Speaker 2: At an owner's meeting, what do you think the alpha dog is of all the NFL owners?

00:28:17
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, Oh, Jerry Jerry Jones, even at his age, you think he's still an alpha dog when he walks in just a little bit. Have they arranged by age? It's a good question, all right? What else we got? Funny?

00:28:28
Speaker 9: I The organization's Sports Pro and north Star Solutions Group has compiled a list of the most marketable athletes on the planet, the whole planet, in a new study, revealing the one hundred and fifty sports stars with the highest values to brands worldwide, so topping that list. F one icon Lewis Hamilton, crediting his big move to partner with Ferrari earlier this year. Second place Olympian Simone Biles. Other members in the top ten include the rugby player who's popular on social media?

00:28:58
Speaker 2: What is it?

00:28:59
Speaker 1: Yona Maher myeah no no sorry?

00:29:04
Speaker 9: Rinding out the top ten, you have Steph Curry number four, Ronaldo number five, neymar at six, Kaitlyn Clark number seven, lebron at number eight, Yannis at number nine, and Coco Goff at number ten. Some other notable numbers on the list. You have Travis Kelcey rounding out the top fifty page Beckers thirty eight, and Angel Reset number twenty.

00:29:22
Speaker 1: So the full list you can see online mid week of major influential what is it?

00:29:26
Speaker 9: It's the most marketable athletes.

00:29:29
Speaker 2: This is a bunk ass list. Bro, Where's Joe hail Tani not in the top ten? Get out of my face? Then this is stupid Kenny Powers. You didn't even mention him chat powers iss get out of here with that.

00:29:42
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: I'm chat I like it exists, though it's based on sparketability.

00:29:48
Speaker 1: Very mid mid mid.

00:29:51
Speaker 2: Thanks for picking mid, because you guys don't pick mid in this is totally mid. I'll tell you what, there's so many big NFL stars too, then don't. I asked myself who could sell a shoe? Who he could be in a commercial that you'd laugh out or understand. And I'll be honest, like some of the names you said, I'm like, no one cares.

00:30:07
Speaker 1: Remember it's worldwide, that's true. I'm an American, and I think it's all about me.

00:30:14
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, but we're entitled to our wrong opinions, and my wrong opinion says that week that's what week Guys List Davy told me.

00:30:19
Speaker 1: Ronaldo, I say, okay, yeah, funk. I mean he's on the list, all right. Next one's fun. Fine.

00:30:25
Speaker 2: The most marketable guy isn't even playing as Michael Jordan.

00:30:28
Speaker 1: He's still the most marketable fine, all right.

00:30:31
Speaker 9: Speaking of the number fifty Top fifty, Travis Kelce and Patrick Hoholmes new business venture fifteen eighty seven Prime still going strong, and on this week's New Heights podcast, Chas and Kelsey revealed that he's making his first visit to the restaurant, which led to a discussion of Travis Kelcey revealing his go to order when he's at his own restaurant, which has a price tag of one hundred and seventy three dollars in my mind, not that much considering it's a steakhouse. So for starters, he likes the lobster roll, hamachi and steakhouse unique twists on cheeseburger and chicken nuggets. And then for the main course, which I think is where the money is, is a Japanese a five New York Strip steak with black truffle butter and a side of truffle feticini.

00:31:15
Speaker 1: He didn't list his dessert, so that's all we got. Mid weaker major.

00:31:18
Speaker 2: This is so weak, Like, you know, we're such on the Kelsey high train that we got to talk about their stupid order. Get out of here. And I'm not blaming spot. I understand that's that's a headline. That's a headline, but we when like what their order is is news. I think I think the hottest tangle of this story is the fact that Travis and Taylor appeared at the restaurant and the few fans that were able to get in and get a reservation, like it was pretty cool for them. They were very really they were really famboy and fangirling like almost like ah like screaming when Travis and Taylor were there. Very overpriced, but then again, every steakhouse is overpriced. Now, I just wonder how long it lasts mid.

00:32:01
Speaker 1: You know why it's mid.

00:32:02
Speaker 2: I guess a lot of celebrities have restaurants and clubs and you know ventures.

00:32:07
Speaker 1: So all right, thank you, spot appreciated buddy, Thanks pal.

00:32:15
Speaker 4: Now now it's time for dB with the update. A buyer you know, known as a rich Davis guy, but somebody is trying to change that. Somebody sliding my d MS last night. One Steve Covino.

00:32:30
Speaker 1: Sneaky behavior. Don't worry about it. The pictures of.

00:32:36
Speaker 10: Just just let you know, game on between you get best give me some nice recommendation up dam buyer television shows and also passing along some NFL uniform information.

00:32:50
Speaker 1: I think you're the only guy. Wow.

00:32:55
Speaker 2: Also send them a picture of you and your pinstripe tidy weddies.

00:32:59
Speaker 1: I was gonna se for tonight, Yeah, with Aaron Judge on the butt, nothing but a Seahawks hat on.

00:33:09
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to two real matters here, at FL Week eight Commanders not gonna have Jayden Daniels quarterback has been ruled out of their Monday night matchup with the Chiefs because of a hamstring strain in Kansas City. Was the last time we saw Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on the field until today limited in practice with his hamstring strain. Panthers have the Bills coming up on Sunday. Bryce Young didn't practice today quarterback dealing with that high ankle sprain. Jetsaid coach Aaron Glenn when name is starting quarterback for the eight Week eight game in Cincinnati. Quarterback trot Taylor considered day today with knee injury. Brock Party limited. Michael Pennix Junior the Falcons limited, as was Baker Mayfield of the Buccaneers in practice limited today. Remember on Sunday when Sean Payton of the Broncos said this after their win against the Giants and trying to compliment Jackson Dart.

00:33:56
Speaker 11: You know they found a little spark with that quarterback. I was talking to John Mayor not too long ago, and I said, we were hoping that that change would have happened long long after our game.

00:34:06
Speaker 4: So Russell Wilson heard that yesterday responded with his post on X calling the comments class List also had a bounty gate dig in there as well well. Peyton responded to Russell Wilson's post today.

00:34:19
Speaker 11: That was strictly about dark That was in no way, shape or form anything that was directed at Russ, So that wasn't any intention at all.

00:34:28
Speaker 4: I also said he could understand maybe why Russ took it a certain way, but it wasn't meant to be that. San Francisco Giants have officially hired Tony Vittello as their manager. He leaves the University of Tennessee and becomes the first college coach to be an MLB skipper with no previous pro baseball coaching experience.

00:34:44
Speaker 1: And Karl Anthony Towns.

00:34:45
Speaker 4: Is active tonight and set to make the starting lineup for the Knicks as they opened the season against the Calves. Coming up at the top of the hour. He was a game time decision because of a quad issue. Guys, back to you.

00:34:56
Speaker 1: Thanks dB.

00:34:57
Speaker 2: You know Stan, every time you compliment someone in sports, the reality is we forget you are insulting someone else. If you talk about a football team, you're like, yeah, they're great.

00:35:06
Speaker 1: Man, but uh man.

00:35:07
Speaker 2: The secondary you're pretty much saying like or when a team says we got to improve, they're really telling certain people in the team like, you're just not as good as we need you to be. Like if you were to say a baseball team like, man, maybe they would have went way further. The bullpen, you know, I got cleaned that up. Clean that up means like anyone that's in the bullpen should take that as.

00:35:27
Speaker 1: You're not good enough.

00:35:28
Speaker 2: That's the same line of thinking of for every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else. If you're talking about your escapades of the early two thousands and how fun they were, you're basically telling your current wife that is not that exciting. Now, yeah, I agree, Yeah, but it's just really interesting because you're right. When you compliment some new young player, you're pretty much saying who was there before wasn't cutting it, And it's it can only be insulting.

00:35:54
Speaker 1: But it's just life, right, That's just how it is.

00:35:57
Speaker 2: It's how the other person interprets it, you know, because really you're just trying to pay compliment. No, true, true, Well, I got a thought about an NFL team that is sort of not getting away with it. But there's a team that took a major step backwards and it's only going to get worse. And I'll explain and tell you what this team is, who they are. Who are you next? Right here on Covino Rich.

00:36:44
Speaker 1: Hey Rich.

00:36:44
Speaker 2: Earlier in the show, Covino and Rich FSR, we gave you our sort of path through talk radio. We talked about maxim Radio. Yeah, we ended up on TV at SNY in New York for a while. We had a great time there s n Y. I posted a few hours ago that today's the twenty fifth anniversary of what legendary World Series moment in two thousand disgusting because it was the year the Mets lost to the Yankees. Can I guess met Yankees memorable memorable moment in there?

00:37:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Twenty five years ago? Today was it when Clemens threw the bat at Piazza. Yeah, twenty five years ago today, Clemens, Piazza, Clemens all he fired oddly enough. You would think as a Mets fan, I was like, totally team Piazza. I mean I was because I'm a Mets fan, but I get the reaction from Clemens. The bat came right back and he threw it. But I don't think he threw it at Piazza. He was doing adrenaline moment, I think, right. I don't know, but it was wild to see though.

00:37:49
Speaker 1: Ooh would have been crazier if that shard like stuck in.

00:37:53
Speaker 2: Imagine it stuck at Piazza's leg and he was like, oh, now.

00:37:57
Speaker 1: You're talking about a moment. But yeah, no, Yankee Yankees embarrassed my Mets. And you know what it was.

00:38:03
Speaker 2: You know, it was all based on Game one. I mean, not that anyone cares. Twenty five years later, for Game one, Mets had the game. Bad base running blew one run for the Mets. A Mets runner, Timo Perez, lolly gagged from second to score because he thought a ball went over the fence and it didn't, so he slowed down got thrown out at home game went to extras. The Mets very well should have won that game in nine innings, so set the tone. I believe the Yankees won four games to one, embarrassing. I believe you're right. Yeah, so real quick, right quick, all those games like one or two running games, you guys, just the Yankees just out just found the way to win in the Mets, Clinn, it was anti climactic about the whole thing is our whole childhood growing up on the East Coast. We had this fantasy of a subway series, like, oh my god, imagine subway series, and it was sort of just eh, it was.

00:38:56
Speaker 5: It was.

00:38:57
Speaker 1: It was one of your least exciting world too.

00:39:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, like there should have been more of a battle of those Yankees dynasty teams.

00:39:04
Speaker 1: It was the worst one.

00:39:05
Speaker 2: They were like an eighty eight win team they really want as good that year, but the Mets were better than them.

00:39:10
Speaker 1: But the Yankees were in their head, I guess Yankees better than the Mets.

00:39:13
Speaker 2: Well, okay, now was twenty five years ago for a time stamp, and the World Series begins on Friday. But real quick, tomorrow's Thursday, and Thursday is the new Friday, and we do old school and fifty hits. So definitely join us Manyana as we reminisce some more and throw it back and do it every Thursday and we get you involved. Well, I teased, what NFL team has taken such a huge step back and no one's really noticing or taken taking up taking this up with them. Okay, there's a team that took a major step back and it's only going to get worse when I do a little schedule watching. Okay, if you do a little Rich Davis schedule watching.

00:39:51
Speaker 6: Oh, the rich loves to look at the schedule, game schedule watching.

00:39:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, what team I don't know outperformed everyone in the postseason and made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game. Who was your big surprise team last year in the NFC? I see Manzi malving it Your Washington Commanders.

00:40:18
Speaker 1: They have taken a step back, Washington commander.

00:40:21
Speaker 2: Well, their fan base had something really to be excited about. Mclaurin's been hurt, Jaden Daniels been banged up. They're three and four like sort of just hanging on. They're like, you know there, they don't even I don't even feel like they got the vibe in the momentum of the Giants who are two and five.

00:40:37
Speaker 1: It's on that chunky soup Jaydon Daniels as injuries, it's a lot of injuries, Danny g.

00:40:42
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, what a franchise and an organization finally gets really great momentum for their fans, right like right now with the Mariners did in baseball with Cal Rowley and everything. Imagine next year the Mariners are under five hundred and be like, oh, but we were just good. The Commanders, I just hope for their fan base it wasn't a one off and they could healthy get that team back on track. And that based on what you said, it does get any easier. Let me let me schedule. Watch right now, they're three and four right without Jaden Daniels and McLaurin banged up. Still they play the Chiefs, Seahawks and Lions. You're losing at least two of those games. You're gonna be four and six. After ten, you got a good chance of losing all.

00:41:24
Speaker 1: I mean, you might be.

00:41:24
Speaker 2: Three and seven, to be honest. So shout outs to the Commanders fans. I apologize. It just a rough road ahead. You can't do it every year. It's the NFL parody. We'll see you guys Manyana. Until then, goodbye guys.
