Speaker 1: Rich Davis, Hey, he's always trying to peak right in
Speaker 1: front of us right now. On YouTube, Covino and Rich FSR.

Speaker 1: maybe we'll throw in more prizes. Your name could be
Speaker 1: called at the end of the show seeing our prizes
Speaker 1: are being given away. You see what we have right
Speaker 1: in front of us on YouTube. All right, now, let's
Speaker 1: get right into this John Harbaugh. They're already calling him
Speaker 1: Jersey Johnny, and I think the question you posted me
Speaker 1: in the kitchen before the show is the right one.
Speaker 1: It's hey, slow down or get pumped up? Slow down
Speaker 1: or pump up when it comes to Harbaugh, slow your role,
Speaker 1: as Rich Davis loves to say. If he's Jersey Johnny
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be take it East, dak you oh there
Speaker 1: you go, slow down or we know, take it east
Speaker 1: or pump it up. Yeah, that's perfect so Jersey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you take it easy, you pump your fist and excitement,
Speaker 1: take it ease. I listen, there's a headline. I'm looking
Speaker 1: around the room. We always had the different sports networks on.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing headlines like Giants immediate playoff contender to that
Speaker 1: take it East. But we've seen quick turnarounds in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and we've seen even this year's Anybody season, we've seen
Speaker 1: potential and excitement with the Giants before all the injuries. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: Scataboo and Dart were difference makers, neighbors, and you throw
Speaker 1: good coaches in there. And here's my theory. I get it,
Speaker 1: Take it East right, they'll be prisoner of the moment.
Speaker 1: But first of all, Giants fans need something to be
Speaker 1: excited about. Harbaugh is one of the greatest gets in coaching,
Speaker 1: great fit for New York. I can't be great there,
Speaker 1: but hold on. This is my point. This is why
Speaker 1: I say stay pumped up like you're Paul d on
Speaker 1: the Jersey Shore. Pump your fist, and excitement. Habbu's here
Speaker 1: because I think he's he's the bait, the shiny bait
Speaker 1: that that the Giants need to bring more exciting players
Speaker 1: to New York or New Jersey. Take it East, all right,
Speaker 1: I say take it East, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: Because while John Harball is a generational guy, a guy
Speaker 1: that could really make a different I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: like he was coaching a bunch of hobos and fell short.
Speaker 1: He didn't make the playoffs with Hobo. The Ravens, who
Speaker 1: are are pretty you know, pretty well on paper, We
Speaker 1: many of us chose the Ravens to represent the AFC
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Bell fit and you know that
Speaker 1: you're not doing anything different on Fox Sports that he
Speaker 1: did at ESPN. But what it's working here why fit fit?
Speaker 1: So I'm just throwing that out there, something to think about.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Jersey, Johnny. I guess listen, if you're
Speaker 1: a Giants fan and you went four and thirteen, there
Speaker 1: should be a yeah, we're pumped up, Like what's the alternative?
Speaker 1: You go with some coach that no one cares about.
Speaker 1: You got John Harbaugh and it happened quickly, which means
Speaker 1: which means like this way, because the first report I
Speaker 1: heard was the Giants. We actually mentioned it on the
Speaker 1: Stree Show. The update was the Giants were going so
Speaker 1: aggressive at Harball, it's likely that something's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Then we heard, well, he's not even gonna be with
Speaker 1: the Falcons now because they're pushing it so hard. And
Speaker 1: then it seemed like minutes later, Oh, it was official.
Speaker 1: It was Zine had the Falcons for that girl. That's like,
Speaker 1: you could do anything to me. Yeah. So and he
Speaker 1: was like, eh, yo, I got a question for you guys.
Speaker 1: I know Jay Stu is still in the studio and
Speaker 1: he's a big bachelor guy. And I always find it
Speaker 1: interesting on a show like a dating show like The Bachelor,
Speaker 1: where the guy has to pretend he's into a lot
Speaker 1: of these girls for the I guess, for the ruse
Speaker 1: and the optics and the optics of the show. But
Speaker 1: Comino and I agree, if you put us in a
Speaker 1: room of twenty five good looking, well rounded women, oh
Speaker 1: I narrow it down to five. Real you can narrow
Speaker 1: it down to five and then maybe you know, get
Speaker 1: to know those five and be like, oh, choose my match.
Speaker 1: But I happened to you that time of the nets dancers. Remember, Yeah,
Speaker 1: immediately you could be pleasantly surprised. Though someone else might
Speaker 1: make the cut. Yeah, someone that you might not be
Speaker 1: initially attracted to. Her personality shines, But for the most
Speaker 1: part those shows, you really could be like, all right,
Speaker 1: you twenty Yeah, I'm sure you're amazing, but not for me.
Speaker 1: Harbo must have really just did the anti Bachelor where
Speaker 1: he's like, listen, I know, no, Ruse Atlanta, I'm not
Speaker 1: coming there, Hey Cleveland, save your breath, Like he might
Speaker 1: have really just took the approach of listen, New York,
Speaker 1: if you gotta roll out the red carpet, you're sort
Speaker 1: of where I want to go, So I don't want
Speaker 1: to waste anyone else's time. Let's get it done, and
Speaker 1: that way we could all just move along with our day.
Speaker 1: But I'm also sure that Dark gave the thumbs up
Speaker 1: and vice versa. I'm sure that was like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: willing to do this, and I believe in this kid.
Speaker 1: I think he's great. I'm sure he believes in some
Speaker 1: of these young players and some ofa moves that there
Speaker 1: willing and promising to make to make his coaching there
Speaker 1: go smoother. So I got a question for he had
Speaker 1: a list of demands. Yeah, he said he wanted a
Speaker 1: fish tank. He wanted Taylor Ham sandwiches every morning in Jersey.
Speaker 1: Do you think every one of those demands got met?
Speaker 1: And green M and m's I would imagine if he
Speaker 1: was throwing it out there like that, right, Yeah, if
Speaker 1: he said, Danny, he wanted twenty MILLI at least a
Speaker 1: year plus ten million for his personnel and GM didn't
Speaker 1: he want to some one hundred grand bars always on
Speaker 1: standby or something, some little stock of baby oil, one
Speaker 1: hundred grand bars.
Speaker 2: He wanted a New York Giants helmet overturned with filled
Speaker 2: with ice cream, and nude pictures of b Arthur Old.
Speaker 3: Toilet seats and black toilet paper. So all of these
Speaker 3: and reportedly rich. Remember in Baltimore, he wanted his OC
Speaker 3: Monkin to stay in place, and the front office wasn't
Speaker 3: with that. And the news is that Monkin's going to
Speaker 3: come over with him to the Giants. Well that's monk
Speaker 3: and unbelievable. So you saying you don't want my guy,
Speaker 3: I'm going to take my guy with me.
Speaker 1: So I got a great question to start the show.
Speaker 1: With I mean we were at ten minutes ten, but well,
Speaker 1: the first question is and feel free to chime in
Speaker 1: eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich at Fox Sports, readio, on social media, or
Speaker 1: the live chat. Like we said Covino on Rich FSR
Speaker 1: on YouTube, we get that running. We changed it from
Speaker 1: slow down or pump up to take it ease or
Speaker 1: pump it up. You gotta pump it up. Do you
Speaker 1: pump your fist and excitement or do you take any
Speaker 1: you're a Giants fan, do you pump it up oho
Speaker 1: humbos here or do you say take it ease? You're
Speaker 1: four and thirteen. There's still a lot of work to
Speaker 1: be done. It's gtch Bro, Jim Tanning Harbaugh. I'll say this,
Speaker 1: even though the Giants have won two Super Bowls, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to compare them to the lowly Marlins, but
Speaker 1: there is an analogy in place. The Marlins are always
Speaker 1: sort of like mediocre and not good. But back in
Speaker 1: the late nineties early two thousands, like every so often
Speaker 1: the Marlins just found a way to win a World
Speaker 1: Series and it would erase all the suck. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you're forgetting that the season started with Russell Wilson. It's
Speaker 1: not like Dart was the guy from the start. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a it was a difficult road to climb.
Speaker 1: Scataboo was really bringing it and then got hurt. You're
Speaker 1: sort of making my point point is the Giants because
Speaker 1: they beat the undefeated Patriots, and because they beat the
Speaker 1: Giants the pin they beat the Patriots again in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and eli won two. We forget that. There
Speaker 1: are plenty of years where the Giants were average or stunk.
Speaker 1: Like the Giants, the analogy would be a team like
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Sean Payton and the Saints. We're probably
Speaker 1: twelve and four and thirteen and three, eleven and five
Speaker 1: every year and they just fell short. The Giants were
Speaker 1: good every so often, but when they were good, they
Speaker 1: just happened to win the Super Bowl. So the Giants
Speaker 1: have never really had long term success. And that's a fact.
Speaker 1: I know this. We lived in New York. Giant fans
Speaker 1: were always frustrating. You'd be like, yeah, but you want
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. They're like, yeah, but when we don't
Speaker 1: want a super Bowl, we're not.
Speaker 2: They want the number one seed, they want the division title,
Speaker 2: they want the home field advance and then maybe they'd
Speaker 2: squeeze in and they'd reel off wins and go win.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know ho. Now I got to just prove
Speaker 1: my own point hold on Giants, the fact this Giant
Speaker 1: season by season NFL, because you'd be shocked at like how.
Speaker 2: Long they've stun Well, no, they how were like nine
Speaker 2: and seven when they won a Super Bowl. I think
Speaker 2: they were a wild card. They were at nine and seven.
Speaker 2: You are, Danny g Iowa, Sam, you guys are honey.
Speaker 2: I get the credit, you get the hundred percent right on.
Speaker 2: But let's go to the two thousands.
Speaker 1: In the late nineties, all right, the Giants, the New
Speaker 1: York Football Giants. When they won the Super Bowl, they
Speaker 1: were ten and six. The year before that they were
Speaker 1: eight and eight. Then they were twelve and four and
Speaker 1: lost right away in the playoffs. Then eight and eight,
Speaker 1: ten and six, nine and seven, seven and nine, six
Speaker 1: and ten, six and ten, eleven and five, three and thirteen,
Speaker 1: five and eleven, four and twelve, six and ten, four
Speaker 1: and thirteen, nine and seven and one, six and eleven,
Speaker 1: three and fourteen, four and thirteen. The Giants have stunk
Speaker 1: for the most part for a while. They're not good.
Speaker 1: It just we get it's uh, you almost get it's
Speaker 1: an illusion because of those Giants beating the Patriots moments
Speaker 1: that are historic other than that they stink. So Harborough
Speaker 1: could be the first got to bring them long term
Speaker 1: success in a long time. So here's part two of
Speaker 1: the question. Part one, I love Kamino. Which is your
Speaker 1: Do you pump it up Jersey style Jim Tanning and
Speaker 1: Harbor or do you take it East Soprano style? Part
Speaker 1: two of the question, what suck disappears? First? The Giants
Speaker 1: or the Raiders. These are two teams that stink, but
Speaker 1: both teams that on paper, after the offseason and coaching
Speaker 1: and draft picks could very well turn it around. Who
Speaker 1: do you think could have their suck disappear? Quicker? Okay,
Speaker 1: true question because we don't know how the chips are
Speaker 1: gonna fall with the Raiders yet. As far as coaching,
Speaker 1: I mean, we got one Domino, one Domino fell. We
Speaker 1: know that Harbaugh in New York. We assume Mendoza will
Speaker 1: be a Raider who's coaching the Raiders. Who you give
Speaker 1: me a good educated guest on who you think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be, and then I'll give you my answer, Let's
Speaker 1: say it's Kevin Stefanski. I don't know, Danny. You're a
Speaker 1: Raiders guy, so you probably have your updates. What do
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Raider beat writers right now are guessing Clint
Speaker 3: Kubiak is the leader.
Speaker 1: So Clint Kubiak, offensive minded guy, Tom Brady in the building, Mendoza,
Speaker 1: Rock Bowers, genty and like we said, you spend every
Speaker 1: piece of equity or draft picks or free agent money
Speaker 1: on line line line line line, line, line, line line,
Speaker 1: maybe a receiver, line line line, line, line line. Danny Well,
Speaker 1: I like this answer, but I think both of them
Speaker 1: are going to throw around, throw a corner in there.
Speaker 1: And Rich you're acting like it's impossible. But we saw
Speaker 1: it with the Bears worse, we saw it with the
Speaker 1: Patriots worse. The first all takes is the right connection,
Speaker 1: the right chemistry, the right coaching with the right quarterbacks
Speaker 1: people to develop. I think the Giants and the Raiders
Speaker 1: might have a good turnaround next season, but I think
Speaker 1: based on what we know so far, the Giants is
Speaker 1: the answer, Giants over Raiders as far as who improves
Speaker 1: the most. The Giants have lost ten or more games
Speaker 1: in eight of the last ten seasons. They're double digit losers.
Speaker 1: But we've seen other teams turning around real quick. Why
Speaker 1: would you say just because they're the Giants, just because
Speaker 1: they have that stigma because of what they've been, they're
Speaker 1: not that team anymore. With all these new people, the
Speaker 1: Giants would have an equal reputation of the Jets had
Speaker 1: they not had these miraculous Again, they were two super
Speaker 1: Bowl runs, so again it's hard to take that away.
Speaker 1: But other than those two runs, and Sam's right, one
Speaker 1: of them was as a nine to seven road dog
Speaker 1: wildcard team. If they didn't have those runs, their highlights
Speaker 1: would have been the equivalent of a Mark Sanchez Jets team,
Speaker 1: and you would have been like, yeah, both New York
Speaker 1: team's equally stink because they do other than Maconky and Bovaro.
Speaker 1: Would have been the last great memory, the way Sims day,
Speaker 1: the way the Mets glorified Darryl Strawberry. The Giants will
Speaker 1: still be talking about Phil Simms blonde mullet. All right,
Speaker 1: so we open it up now, it's an exciting day.
Speaker 1: Last night was an exciting night. Who ares who races
Speaker 1: the suck first? Danny, I go to you because you're
Speaker 1: a Raiders fan, I think I think honestly, I gave
Speaker 1: you my answer. I think it's the Giants, and that's
Speaker 1: not to knock the excitement. I still have to see
Speaker 1: where the Raiders go the whole Fernandoumandos, the storyline is
Speaker 1: so dope, So I say that respectfully, Danny.
Speaker 3: G Yeah, and I think the Raiders have more work
Speaker 3: to do on the defensive side of the ball compared
Speaker 3: to the Giants. The Giants have a head start on
Speaker 3: the Raiders. So yeah, the Giants have a better, way,
Speaker 3: better chance of moving forward faster.
Speaker 1: Is it a so which suck? Would this disappear first?
Speaker 1: Is it a redunculous Is it a ridunculous prop bet
Speaker 1: to say I'm gonna parlay that the Giants and Raiders
Speaker 1: both make the postseason next year. I don't think it's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've seen it. I mean, but think about it before.
Speaker 3: For the Raiders moving forward, an eight win season would
Speaker 3: be good. They just want to see some growth in
Speaker 3: the right direction, all.
Speaker 1: Right, So look at the two teams. We're focusing on,
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Giants. It's uh. I know people
Speaker 1: say comparison is the thief of joy. Right, that's a
Speaker 1: good saying. I agree with that. Comparison is the thief
Speaker 1: of Joey. You go look on Instagram. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: so sad watching all the fun people have on vacation
Speaker 1: on social media. Go go on Instagram. I saw a
Speaker 1: girl do a great clip on social media. Believe it
Speaker 1: or not, she goes. You go on social media, everyone's hot.
Speaker 1: Look around real life, I see they're not go weeks
Speaker 1: without seeing like a really hot person. But on social media,
Speaker 1: every scroll is like a girl that's got a great
Speaker 1: ass and ass. Where all these hot he's at. They're
Speaker 1: all on Malibu. Where are all the hot people? The
Speaker 1: whole foods across the street. Bro, that's where they are.
Speaker 1: Because honestly, on social media you would think everyone's hot
Speaker 1: and shopping around in their yoga pants. In real life,
Speaker 1: every day you just see a lot of mutants. So
Speaker 1: I think you got to keep it real here, even
Speaker 1: though comparison is the thief of joy. The Giants are
Speaker 1: in a division where the Eagles look like they're lost
Speaker 1: in the sauce. A J. Brown's probably gone. That's that
Speaker 1: team's psychologically not there. Washington had a big down year.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are always in a flux of confusion, and
Speaker 1: you see the giants there and you're like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe there's an opportunity. The Raiders still have to compete
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs team with Andy Reid that will clearly
Speaker 1: want to revamp and be competitive again with back with
Speaker 1: the photo though, that photo of Scatabu and Dart when
Speaker 1: things were clicking for that small portion of the year
Speaker 1: where they really don't care what. I don't care what
Speaker 1: I have to say. I'm just saying I feel like
Speaker 1: you're forgetting that. No, you don't care what I have
Speaker 1: to say. I do care. I read an article It
Speaker 1: said if you interrupt someone mid sentence, that means you
Speaker 1: just don't care what they're saying. Were you doing research
Speaker 1: on why people get frustrated with you because you do
Speaker 1: it all the time?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well would want to do account? Yeah I would.
Speaker 1: I would like to do it. I don't because word
Speaker 1: for word, I think it's like one thousand to one hundred.
Speaker 1: If you want to do a word count on this show.
Speaker 1: If we had like a punch stat, like a comp
Speaker 1: u box stat for punches, you think I say ten
Speaker 1: times more stuff than you with that A damn I
Speaker 1: should get paid more. Let me now. So it's like
Speaker 1: I'm playing a game with double Dutch. I have to
Speaker 1: throw in my comments or else I'll never get anything in.
Speaker 2: David Letterman would never let any of his guests finish
Speaker 2: a sentence. He'd always start the next questions. That's just
Speaker 2: it's a strategy for both of you.
Speaker 1: It's fine. Sorry, I know you were mister sensitive pants.
Speaker 1: You want no gaps, no silence. I didn't know Rich
Speaker 1: had sensitive pants on today because I'm excited about the Giants.
Speaker 1: I thought it was pump it up or take it ease.
Speaker 1: All you had to do is just take it ease.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm pumped up. I thought these were Travis
Speaker 1: Matthew pants. You forget the jersey, their sensitive pants.
Speaker 3: You're right, you were talking about the AFC West and
Speaker 3: Andy Reid's gonna want to revamp.
Speaker 1: I was saying, your your division has the number one seed,
Speaker 1: never Broncos, the Chiefs who clearly are not gonna want
Speaker 1: to be, you know, down and out too long. They
Speaker 1: got Mahomes and Andy Reid. And you also have the
Speaker 1: Chargers who while they looked like asked last week, they
Speaker 1: still made the playoffs and one eleven games, and they
Speaker 1: have heard and Harbaugh, so they're also gonna revamp their
Speaker 1: own line. You know what it's like, Danny, It's like
Speaker 1: looking at the Cardinals in the NFC West and saying,
Speaker 1: my goodness, you could do whatever you want to try
Speaker 1: to revamp that team, but you're still in the same
Speaker 1: division as Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Mike McDonald and you
Speaker 1: know three division that was kicking everyone's butt last week,
Speaker 1: the Vision that broke record three teams won twelve or
Speaker 1: more games. Good luck Cardinals, and unfortunately that's the Raiders
Speaker 1: as saying they're going all the way. You're saying they're
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot better next year. Could they go
Speaker 1: all the way? Anything could happen. They're gonna be better,
Speaker 1: a lot better. Everybody's gonna revamp, but I think the
Speaker 1: Giants have a way wayhead start with Harbaugh, an exciting
Speaker 1: quarterback and exciting running back coming back. Yeah, we also
Speaker 1: need to put the receiver.
Speaker 3: We also need to put the Falcons into this mix
Speaker 3: because on defense they're ahead of both of those teams.
Speaker 3: They're at the question mark for them as quarterback.
Speaker 1: If the Falcons and don't don't think for a second
Speaker 1: that harbought it and he had all these these requirements
Speaker 1: to go there, right, You don't think that he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm only going there if you're getting X, Y
Speaker 1: and Z as far as players as well, they're going
Speaker 1: to get so many more weapons. He didn't go there
Speaker 1: just to suck. Yeah, but there's no way I can't
Speaker 1: guarantee teams players want to sign, but they're already good.
Speaker 1: You have to make a commitment. But he's the reason
Speaker 1: they're going to want to go there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think what makes this fun Covin know
Speaker 3: we talked about Skataboo and of course Jackson Dart on
Speaker 3: the other side with Las Vegas, imagine Fernando Mendoza. He
Speaker 3: walks in with a lot of holes and question marks
Speaker 3: on the roster, but he does get to throw the
Speaker 3: ball to brock Bowers and hand it off to Ashton Genty,
Speaker 3: who's exciting to watch. And Genty almost ran for a
Speaker 3: thousand yards behind that pitiful olie.
Speaker 1: And because I'm not hating on the Raiders, got Brady there. Man,
Speaker 1: this guy who is going to take a more prominent
Speaker 1: role for He's going to take him under his wing.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's incredible. What young player of that stature,
Speaker 1: like a Mendoza type wouldn't want to have a Brady
Speaker 1: on your side. It's amazing. So I'm excited for both teams.
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, I'm still sticking with the
Speaker 1: Giants here, prisoner of the moment. Maybe Falcons is an
Speaker 1: interesting one, Danny, because well, I know they didn't make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They were in a three way tie technically, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that division so mediocre that the Falcons that we
Speaker 1: said that game they lost to the Jets, they beat
Speaker 1: the Jets, they're the ones that win that division at
Speaker 1: nine and eight, I think the Falcons you could argue
Speaker 1: that they'd be the preseason favorites to win that division
Speaker 1: with some changes.
Speaker 3: And then you have Miles Garrett in the Browns, another
Speaker 3: team like the Falcons, great, great defense. But on the
Speaker 3: offensive side, who's their quarterback?
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Shador? You think that's their You
Speaker 1: think Schador is their go to? What's Deshaun Watson's story?
Speaker 1: I feel naive.
Speaker 3: They said they're going to keep them and let them
Speaker 3: compete for the QB job. Now, I mean you mean
Speaker 3: the guy they're paying like a bazillion dollars and that's
Speaker 3: the only reason they're keeping them around.
Speaker 1: But not only that, at that point, not only that
Speaker 1: Cavino Deshaun Watson, didn't the owner already call him a mistake.
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember we thought because he said that,
Speaker 1: there's no way he sticks around. But is our team
Speaker 1: that you think would want to take on Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: and any of that money? No, no, hell no zero chance.
Speaker 1: Yeah hell to the non to the no, no, no way,
Speaker 1: no way. So now we open it up to you
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Nation. It's a two part doozy take
Speaker 1: it as the Giants stink or do you get pumped up?
Speaker 1: And which suck will disappear first, the Raiders or the
Speaker 1: Giants based on all the news and all the moving parts.

Speaker 1: why are you trying to yuck everybody's yump today? It's like,
Speaker 1: even if you're not a Giants fan, you gotta be
Speaker 1: pumped up about the Giants being better next year and
Speaker 1: they have a clear path. In fact, my brother's listening
Speaker 1: what's up top Jimmy Hey, I agree with you in
Speaker 1: Cavino that while the Raiders have some you know, clear
Speaker 1: big players in place exciting, you get those gent d
Speaker 1: Bowers and you have Tom Rady at the helm. That's
Speaker 1: who's gonna be instrumental in picking that next match. Crossby coach.
Speaker 1: You still have Crosby is the captain of your defense.
Speaker 1: They still are in a division with three other good teams.
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's like the Cardinals trying to dig
Speaker 1: out of what they're doing in the NFC West. The
Speaker 1: Giants are in a division of three teams that are
Speaker 1: sort of just meh, like the Eagles. I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna start dismantling a little bit. Washington was hurt.
Speaker 1: They'll probably bounce back. And the Cowboys DA's always consistent,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what Jerry's doing there. So the
Speaker 1: Giants actually have a very good opportunity with a very
Speaker 1: good coach and a very exciting rock star of a
Speaker 1: young quarterback in Jackson Dart. Horbole Dart, that might be
Speaker 1: the cool combo. Look is it too earlate to tell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course, but it postes the question of hey, prisoner
Speaker 1: of the moment, slow, It down, take it east or
Speaker 1: get pumped up, pump your fist to the excitement, and
Speaker 1: which suck will disappear? First, I'm saying Giants over the Raiders,
Speaker 1: even though I think they're both going to be better
Speaker 1: than next year. All right, So your thoughts now eight
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, And what is the
Speaker 1: chat saying? A lot of people saying the Giants they
Speaker 1: should be pumping it up, Steve hit us Up, Stephen Lopez,
Speaker 1: Scott RJ, Daniel Kate, rain Wes, a lot of people
Speaker 1: saying Giants. It seems like pretty unanimous. That's unanimous that
Speaker 1: the Giants have very, very much a reason to pump
Speaker 1: it up today. So let me let me ask you
Speaker 1: a question that doesn't have to do a football I'm
Speaker 1: dtch Bro Down to Harball, Down to Harball. That's the
Speaker 1: new slogan. Yeah, man, make a sure before someone else does. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Gtch Bro, Jim Tanning Harbaugh, Yeah, someone already did. Harbas
Speaker 1: speaking of New York and the Giants getting all pumped
Speaker 1: up about Harball. Harba's here. I gotta ask when you're
Speaker 1: seeing what's going on in the off season in baseball,
Speaker 1: when your team is stagnant, are there times where you're like, well,
Speaker 1: it's better than making the wrong moves, or is it
Speaker 1: just discouraging completely? Like today, Kyle Tucker is gonna make
Speaker 1: this decision, and if he doesn't pick the Mets, that
Speaker 1: means the Mets have whiffed on pretty much everything they've
Speaker 1: sort of investigated. Yeah, but you don't want to overspend.
Speaker 1: You want to give these crazy contracts out too, because
Speaker 1: a lot of the players, just because of what their
Speaker 1: agents are promising, they want crazy amounts of time. Like
Speaker 1: the I mentioned Cody Bellinger earlier. The Yankees gave him
Speaker 1: a solid offer for five years, but Boris and them
Speaker 1: have convinced themselves that they're worthy of seven years. Would
Speaker 1: you give that guy seven years? Same things with Kyle Tupmer.
Speaker 1: This guys want too much time to money. The Mets
Speaker 1: lost the business. The Mets lost the Polar Bear Pete
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. Edwin Diaz and Timmy Trumpets comes out here
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers. But then you start seeing these deals
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, I wouldn't want my team to
Speaker 1: make that deal. Did you see Ranger Suarez of the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, he's a good pitcher. But this guy,
Speaker 1: the deal he signs with the Boston Red Sox is
Speaker 1: not a deal someone gets when they've never won more
Speaker 1: than twelve games in a season. This is the guy
Speaker 1: that wins like twelve games. Good pitcher era in the threes,
Speaker 1: can't make those mistakes. But how many years did they
Speaker 1: get Suarez for it? Do you know? I hate to
Speaker 1: put you on a spot. I'll give you an example
Speaker 1: on this. Look. I hate to talk about it. I'm
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan, right. DJ le Mayhew isn't playing this
Speaker 1: year or next year, but the Yankees have to pay
Speaker 1: him fifteen million dollars next year and the year after,
Speaker 1: So thirty million dollars going to DJ LeMay who's not
Speaker 1: even on the team. Because they're they're giving these crazy
Speaker 1: extended contracts. You gotta be realistic. It's a business. So
Speaker 1: they're doing the best they can. Look they want to
Speaker 1: win more than you do. And on a side note, Rich,
Speaker 1: without getting too far off track, did you see Danny's
Speaker 1: boy is playing for Team USA. Kershaw Clayton Kershaw, who
Speaker 1: you thought was done, you'd never see him again. You
Speaker 1: think he's retired, and he is, but he's still playing
Speaker 1: for Team Usa come March. I think that's kind of awesome.
Speaker 1: Have fun with it. Yeah, who doesn't love Kershaw even
Speaker 1: if you don't like the Dodgers. He's a likable guy.
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect his legacy at all. He could still
Speaker 1: say he stepped away in baseball as a World Series
Speaker 1: champion and he got out of a jam for them
Speaker 1: and he's still playing. His ending was beautiful. I don't
Speaker 1: think the World Baseball Classic interferes mentally. It's just be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun for him and a lot of
Speaker 1: fun for Team USA. And I know he's a good
Speaker 1: left handed picture of it. Ranger Suarez signed with the
Speaker 1: Red Sox five years, one hundred and thirty million dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: I know we throw around money in sports easily does
Speaker 1: NBA players. I know they make like forty fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars that you might not even know who they are
Speaker 1: Red Sox Suarez, But I mean Red Sox Suarez one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars, a guy that has won
Speaker 1: twelve games two times in other years eight games, nine games.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, these contracts are ridiculous for mediocrity. You
Speaker 1: know what it does? The lack of solid arm Danny
Speaker 1: does the teams being desperate. I said it yesterday briefly,
Speaker 1: But does it just prove that there's so few schemes
Speaker 1: in school balls that guys like Ranger Suarez. You know,
Speaker 1: there's only so many Yamamotos. They might be five or six.
Speaker 1: You know, Wheeler but he got hurt last year. There's
Speaker 1: only a few guys that are front of the line
Speaker 1: aces and rich.
Speaker 3: As far as Kyle Tucker goes, if you Mets, if
Speaker 3: that reports true about the money that you guys have
Speaker 3: offered him per season.
Speaker 1: The over fifty eight years, that would make him like the.
Speaker 3: Third or fourth highest paid MLB player. I mean, he's
Speaker 3: a consistent great player, but I don't think you'd say
Speaker 3: he's top three in the league.
Speaker 1: One of my Met buddies said to me, he goes,
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I'm really hoping it happens. But
Speaker 1: he said, Kyle Tucker, it's the type of player. If
Speaker 1: your team signs him, you're not high five in your bros.
Speaker 1: He goes, it's just like a oh cool Tucker, great player,
Speaker 1: a fifty million plus a year and he wants five years.
Speaker 1: So imagine the Mets pony up and gives Kyle Tucker
Speaker 1: two fifty over five. Z. I was gonna be like,
Speaker 1: what the heck did I do wrong? No, he's just
Speaker 1: not like me. Yeah, seriously, if you weren't willing to
Speaker 1: make it happen for Pete Alonso and you can roll
Speaker 1: out the red carpet for this guy, what's he done
Speaker 1: for you? It's a really interesting offseason market for baseball.
Speaker 1: I know we're really not a whole lot that's whine.
Speaker 1: People are just grasping at anything. We're really heavy into
Speaker 1: into football now, but I just thought that baseball note
Speaker 1: was worth it. No, it's definitely wor and a lot
Speaker 1: of people may have missed the Kershawn News yesterday was
Speaker 1: telling us that Nolan or she says at a Nadal
Speaker 1: Nolan Aronado. Yeah, this guy is is a you know
Speaker 1: all stir year after year. But that was back in
Speaker 1: the day. Last year about a two thirty you know
Speaker 1: home runs in the teens. Like he's not what he
Speaker 1: was and he's still stunning. I think like twelve them run.
Speaker 1: So we're talking about a guy baseball money is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I feel I'm so confused as to who gets money. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's go to our pal profet for an update. Chris,
Speaker 1: tell me something good about Fred Warner. The update is
Speaker 1: Fred Warner out? That just scheme throw? Yeah, Fred Warner?
Speaker 1: All the excitement for looks like they're saying that it's
Speaker 1: likely not to happen against the Sea Hawks. We want
Speaker 1: to read not what are your things? And Daniel LFSA
Speaker 1: is not gonna fight. This whole story about Sam Donald's
Speaker 1: a bleak. Is that just added drama for your mama?
Speaker 1: Or is this a big nothing burger of a story.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I Donald says there's no chance that he's not going
Speaker 3: to be out there on the field.
Speaker 2: So those guys always say that when they're like that,
Speaker 2: But I think that is this doesn't seem like a
Speaker 2: terrible injury that would preclude him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but people are gonna run with that questionable. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Yeah, if he plays, if he plays poorly,
Speaker 1: it'll absolutely come back to this. I'm sure.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's as oblique as you think.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, play Rich spirit Fred Warner story, Well cool,
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. We got more seeing our
Speaker 1: next on Fox. So it all comes down to this, Rich,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Betty. One game the best of the best,
Speaker 1: the minus Fred Warner playing for the Lombardi though, So
Speaker 1: if you're watching a game at home, watch it like
Speaker 1: it matters on the TCO Ultimate Series, the QM eight
Speaker 1: K or the QM nine K. This is Super Bowl football,
Speaker 1: bright stadium lights, fast cuts, big hits, and bigger debates.
Speaker 1: Was he ended it moved and across. TCL brings the
Speaker 1: ultimate brightness and ultimate black levels. So the picture stays
Speaker 1: clean from kickoff to the final drive. It's so clear
Speaker 1: you could almost smell the fresh cut grass. You see
Speaker 1: the ball spin, the tow drag on the sideline, no
Speaker 1: blur and go big. Why not right? The Ultimate Series
Speaker 1: is available in a massive ninety eight inch class that's insane.
Speaker 1: So every seats a great seat, not just for the
Speaker 1: people in the middle. And if you can't be at
Speaker 1: the stadium, TCL Ultimate Series is the next best seat
Speaker 1: available at all major retailers. TCL is the official TV
Speaker 1: partner of the NFL. Here for Super Bowl sixty Trust
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch and all the decision
Speaker 1: makers in the bay. I'm sorry, buddy, Fred Warner out
Speaker 1: is like, I'm really sorry, really bummer news. I can't
Speaker 1: describe trying to think of an analogy. We spent the whole
Speaker 1: show being excited about the possibility yesterday that Fred Warner
Speaker 1: might come back.
Speaker 3: I feel like we're living in backwards world. Remember yesterday
Speaker 3: we wanted to lead with Harbob, but instead we led
Speaker 3: with Warner, and then it should have been flip flopped today.
Speaker 1: To me, I just felt like Willie Daniel LaRusso it was.
Speaker 1: It just felt like his destiny that Fred Warner just
Speaker 1: somehow got on the field, even if he didn't play
Speaker 1: all that much, just to inspire. I'm sorry, Betty, but
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you imagine sorry, I'm sorry for and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry for the Fred Warner news man. I was really
Speaker 1: excited about it too. Well, guess what, it's too late.
Speaker 1: You don't want him out there on a peg leg.
Speaker 1: You know, if he can't go, he can't go. He said,
Speaker 1: moral for moral support, it's a moral victory if he's
Speaker 1: out there, it's just a great look for the team, Like, yeah, he.
Speaker 3: Needs to talk to the team still in his street
Speaker 3: clothes and be like I want to suit up next week.
Speaker 1: They said he would absolutely be ready to go if
Speaker 1: they got past the Seahawks, but that's it's not like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so hey, we're Comino and Rich live from the Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio studio, and that's the update on Fred Warner.
Speaker 1: We'll keep your post. Someone give a Sam darn A
Speaker 1: a little knuckle sandwich to the oblique. Have you ever
Speaker 1: wiped with a piece of dry toilet paper? You're sitting
Speaker 1: on the toilet and you're wondering, is this as good
Speaker 1: as it gets? Well, it's not switched to life changing wet,
Speaker 1: extra large, fleshable. Dude wipes so rich. When you're feeling
Speaker 1: down later on the ball thinking about Fred Warner or
Speaker 1: you're drying toilet paper, think that things are better. So
Speaker 1: what you're trying to say is I'm bummed about Fred
Speaker 1: Warner and you want me to think about you want

Speaker 5: school when fifty hits, that's fifty after CNR give you
Speaker 5: the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, this is a fun one. We're talking
Speaker 1: lots of football rich just got crappy news. But think
Speaker 1: back to the good days, the good old days, when
Speaker 1: you had reason to celebrate on this day. On this day,
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven, we saw the very first Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: We really see it. Oh we didn't see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't alive in sixty seven. Some of you old
Speaker 1: timers may have seen it. Qush originally the Super Bowl's creator,
Speaker 1: as part of the merger between the NFL and the AFL,
Speaker 1: and the first one aired on this day in sixty seven.
Speaker 1: The game was broadcasted on both CBS and NBC twenty
Speaker 1: four point four to three million views. That's a lot
Speaker 1: on CBS and twenty six million on NBC. So you
Speaker 1: do the math. Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs thirty five to ten. First super Bowl. So that
Speaker 1: got us thinking, as we reminisce on a throwback Thursday,
Speaker 1: what are some of your best most memorable Super Bowl moments.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be about the game. Maybe something
Speaker 1: amazing happened on that day that that super Bowl one.
Speaker 1: You always see the highlights Lombardi, Bart Starr, It's like
Speaker 1: the George Washington of the nfl og. Yes, yeah, super
Speaker 1: Bowl memories. I got a ton of them because Cavin
Speaker 1: know things. I'm a weirdo, but I remember where I
Speaker 1: was for every super Bowl since I was born. Remember
Speaker 1: who's living room he was out. But there's so many
Speaker 1: great memories. We'll go over all those and get you
Speaker 1: ready for divisional round next super Bowl time.
