Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Weekend Sports Vibes & Pop Culture

(03:13 – 04:55)

• The episode starts with palpable Friday energy, as Covino & Rich note the sports-packed weekend ahead: NFL Week 3, college football, and the final stretch of the MLB regular season.
• The hosts touch on embracing "spooky season," Halloween decorations, and 80s horror classics like Fright Night, introducing a laid-back, humorous tone.

2. NFL Recap: Bills vs. Dolphins

(07:44 – 13:33)

• Quick review of Thursday Night Football: Undefeated Bills beat the Dolphins 31-21.
• Discussion on whether the Dolphins and coach McDaniels "did enough" to preserve his job, and how close the game was despite the loss.
• Debating the current NFL QB hierarchy, with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson positioned as the new faces of pressure and opportunity ("the expectation is, this year it’s your year!" – Rich, 12:23).
• Reflect on Mahomes moving into Tom Brady/Peyton Manning–like status: it’s expected he won’t win every year but is always a contender.

3. Viral Baseball Moment Inspires Main Topic

(13:33 – 19:51)

The Story: Ling Xi Jun’s Legendary Walk-Off

• 43-year-old Chinese baseball legend Ling Xi Jun hits a home run in his final professional at-bat – an emotional, storybook ending.
• The play-by-play is provided by John Boy, renowned for his lip-reading and viral sports breakdowns.
• The moment prompts a broader conversation about the greatest endings in sports, show business, and even life.

Notable Quote (John Boy excerpt replayed)

"To then hit a bomb and hit a home run in your last at bat when it was already a moment, again, he was already waving his hat and saying farewell to the fans. I’d say that’s one of the better endings in recent history." – (18:50)

4. Is Grooving a Legendary Athlete “Right”?

(19:51 – 23:54)

• The hosts ask: do pitchers ever intentionally serve up a meatball so a retiring legend can go out with a bang?
• Debate over whether anyone "grooved" Derek Jeter a pitch for his famed walk-off in his last Yankee Stadium game.
• Reference to Brett Favre’s alleged “dive” to let Strahan break the single-season sack record, and debates about similar moments in sports lore.

Notable Quote

"This is professional baseball, professional sports competition at its height… even if [the pitcher] grooved it, it’s still on the batter to step up and hit it." – Covino (23:31)

It's spooky season. Well, I'm approaching it.

You can decorate for Halloween with the kids. And I don't think it's too soon. I really don't.

I mean, people already started that, bro. Where have you been?

[D]

I went to Home Depot yesterday. They got their stuff out. They got Christmas stuff out at Home Depot.

[A]

It's ridiculous. So enjoy the spooky season. In fact, I watched an 80s classic last night, Fright Night from 1985. I don't know if you guys saw it. It was a classic vampire movie and it still held. Marcy Darcy's in it. Fright Night. So, yeah, watch a nice scary movie. Maybe the conjuring. Go to the theater. In fact, we'll tell you what to watch later on. We do it every Friday.

[D]

City.

[A]

Synonymous City.

[D]

This is gonna be great. And by the way, when we do Weekend Hobnobbin, there's a new show on Netflix I think we gotta talk about. I think it might be one of those we're all in on. You know how you and I recently said it's been a minute since all of us watched the same show? I think there's one you're gonna. You're gonna get into.

[A]

You think so?

[D]

I. I think we'll discuss.

[A]

All right.

[D]

But, hey, let's say hi to Iowa. Samuel. Hello, Samuel. Hello.

[A]

Happy Friday. Wow. What's up your tucus, Zoo?

[D]

What's up your tucus?

[A]

You sound a little rubbish. Yeah, I didn't know what I could say there. I'm great.

[D]

I was gonna say, is tucus a word your parents used? Yeah, you can say tucus. Yeah.

[A]

You know what it sounded like? You know when you say hi to your wife or girlfriend and you're like, hey, what's up? Hey, what's going on? Everything. How's your day? Fine, fine. Good. How are you? Right back at you. Good. How are you? Danny G. Super producing on the phone.

Oh, Lo and Cron the Lowen kron.

[D]

Hey, Isaac. How are you, buddy?

[B]

Ever since you got this camera around here, I find myself drawn to it like a moth to a flame. And I can't wait to learn what game I'm going to win today.

[A]

Oh, nice. Perfect. You know, I'm glad you brought that up, because we're streaming live. You could see what you're [e-mail] and loinCrot. I made a reference yesterday that I thought was the most obvious reference of all time. When you were giving us our update, you know, I was paying close attention because I live for it. And you said, all right, back to you, Covino Enrich. And I said, let it be Lo and crime.

[B]

All right?

[D]

And Rich had no idea what that was.

[B]

Lo and Brow beer, baby.

[A]

I can't believe. I must be the oldest guy going if I'm the only one that knows that. Me and Loewencron.

[D]

What are you guys, 75 years old? I know.

[A]

I thought that was a common knowledge. Let it be Loincron.

[D]

Well, I did get your reference yesterday when you said, get your ski shined up, grab a stick of Juicy Fruit. The taste is gonna move you.

[A]

All right? So, hey, we're full of references. We're full of energy because Fridays are glorious and we're full of BS. Covino Rich broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

Follow for free. Follow, rate and review five stars, please. And like I said, the YouTube channel Covino Enrich FSR and let the wild rumpus start. Hope you had a great Thursday night. A Buffalo Bill sort of Thursday, even though the Dolphins made it close. So the question based on yesterday's show is, did the Dolphins do enough to save McDaniel's job? And hey, man, they were one score away. If Tua didn't throw that pick. I think they did enough. They did enough.

[D]

Enough.

[A]

They did. They look better than we thought they were going to look.

[D]

By the way, you should be checking out the YouTube feed. You can listen, you can watch again. YouTube.com I even did the thing where I hit up the old school group chat like, hey, you boneheads that are my friends haven't yet clicked subscribe.

[A]

Friends don't support. It's always strangers and people you'd least expect. Your friends are like, I'm gonna listen to you. I know this guy's an idiot.

[D]

So when all my friends are like, just did it, done. When everyone says done did it, that means none of them had done it until today.

[B]

Thanks, friends.

[A]

Pretty much, thanks, pals. It's a weird phenomenon. It's like if you're opening up a small business, you think it's your friends that you can count on, but it's usually strangers and the kindness of other people. And in our world, it's interesting to see that our friends like, quote unquote, high school friends or old buddies, and they're quick to tell us about other podcasts. And it's like, hey, Jabroni, you realize me, I've known you for 30 years. I do that every day.

[D]

Meanwhile, you get all this incredible support.

[A]

From other people, Right? So we're just glad you're here. We're glad you're listening. We appreciate it. And again, maybe you tell some of your friends about the YouTube page on our podcast and let's take over the world together. The world famous CNR on fsr.

[D]

Now, you said last night, did the dialogue dolphins do enough? I think they did, but there was. Well, first of all, we won our teaser bet. Did you guys all follow along? We had dolphins plus 17 and a half over 45, right? It was 44. We won that one. This play at the end of the half, I had a couple dolphin fan friends that are like, yo, that was BS When Josh Allen sort of bumbles. A snap picks it up and then just sort of tosses it to the official.

[A]

Well, he picked it up.

[D]

They blew the whistle. So no matter what, you know, there.

[A]

Was only a couple seconds. Yeah. Was that a fumble? But more of a bumble. It was more of a bumble. He recovered it. Even if it was.

[D]

Did that rub you any weird way because the NFL is meeting about that looked weird.

[A]

It looked like he was running in the wrong direction with a live football. Yeah. It looked like when you trip and you hope no one saw it so you sort of jog it off. It's like he fumbled, picked it up and sort of jogged it off a little bit. It was a viral moment for sure. Your thoughts on that will take your calls now at 87799 on Fox. Now every Monday, as you know, we'll do it this Monday. Things that make you go hmm. This is our little mini Friday edition of what were your observations? What made you go hmm? And what'd you think about the Dolphins keeping it close against the Bills yesterday? Does that say a lot about the Bills? Like they've been, I don't want to say average, but as far as fantasy, Josh Allen hadn't done anything.

[D]

The pills have been the Bills, you.

[A]

Know, you know I'm saying. But they're game I the Bills have been dominating.

[D]

I think, I think there's a sentiment that you're seeing. They won by 10 last night. So when you're winning every game, you know, by substantial numbers.

[A]

I thought they were going to clobber the Dolphins though.

[D]

I mean they beat the ravens close 41, 40. Then they clobber the Jets. Yeah, they beat the Dolphins handily. They're going to kill the Saints next week. You know that point spreads already over two touchdowns. So you know they'll, they'll sit pretty at 40 with a roughly a quarter of the season done.

[A]

There's no doubt. With that said, I was expecting more.

[D]

With the Chiefs being 02 and a rough road ahead. They'll, they'll beat the Giants, I'm sure this weekend. Is it a two headed pressure situation? Like is this the year where it's like all right, Josh Allen. All right, Lamar Jackson. This is your year.

[A]

This is the year we've stopped saying that Mahomes is the number one main guy in the league. It's definitely Josh Allen.

[D]

I mean my home still has the magic. But I feel like right now, if you would to say pressure, well, that's.

[A]

Not this I love Patrick Mahomes. I think he's great, but it's no longer like he's the guy. This is Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson's year to, to, to take the ball, pun intended, and run with it.

[D]

I think the reality is there came a point for Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, the Cowboys at times in the 90s where, hey, if things didn't go your way, the sentiment was, well, you can't win every year. I think Mahomes is in that category now where if things went wrong and like I said, they just played average all year, made the playoffs and had an early exit. I know I'm talking so soon, but.

[A]

Hey, for all we know, the Chiefs beat the Giants this weekend, starts at 10 games.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And then they play tough and maybe beat the Ravens the following weekend. Yeah, we, we don't know anything. And that's the beauty of it and the fun of it. But we speculate on what we got and all we know now, I'm just.

[D]

Saying, as each week and year passes, there's. I think this is the year where there's an expectation like, all right, Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, one of you, this has to be the year. Right. Or you could say Jared Goff and the. In the Lions there with those two.

[A]

Guys, because of that rivalry, are sort of lifting each other.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, they got the whole Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston thing going on. Or should I say Joe Frazier is what I meant to say. You know, they're bringing out the greatness in one another. And Coke and Pepsi, you can go on all day.

[D]

Hydroxy, Oreo, McDonald's and McDowell's.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. You know, I mean, they're pushing each other to those different levels, into those next heights, and they're both reaping the benefits from it because it has everybody excited of, man, whose season is it? Is it the season of Lamar? Is it the season of Josh Allen? Because Mahomes is sort of taking a backseat, at least right now. At least right now. And that's not at this. That's just an observation. So what were yours from last night? Thursday night football. Bills over the Dolphins. Undefeated Bills. And the Dolphins are owing 3:31, 21. Josh Allen with 213 yards and three ties in the victory.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

All right, now we'll take some feedback on last night, but there was a story that I saw your buddy John Boy covering.

[A]

Yeah, this is really cool. John Boy does a great job if you guys don't know. I mean, I think everybody listening to Fox Sports Radio knows who John Boy is, if not. But I think.

[D]

I mean, yesterday you didn't know what Central Perk was from Friends, so. Wait, Isaac, you want.

[A]

There's a major difference here. There's a sports radio channel, and you're talking about Matt LeBlanc. I think more people know, you know, John Boy significance and, like. I'm sorry, I'm sort relevant.

[D]

I'm sorry. You're ahead of your damn mind if you're relevant to what we. I love John Boy and I'm a baseball fan, but if you think you surveyed a hundred.

[A]

Central Perk, bro.

[D]

If you surveyed 100 Fox Sports Radio listeners, you think more people know baseball. I love this guy. You think they know John Boy more than Central park from Friends?

[A]

People tune in to hear about sports, so I think there's a good chance.

[D]

You'Re doing crack okay with Charlie Sheen.

[A]

I don't. I don't know, but I think I'm winning the argument. Central Perk. I understand the show so is very big. I'm not downplaying the significance of Friends as a cultural movement of the 90s. People love that show. I never watched it. And you're talking about the place they hung out like. Like as if everyone knew it. John Boy is a guy that we see. Anyone at Fall Sports who's listening, sees his clips throughout a day at least three times a day. John Boy, he's that South Korean rapper, right? John Boy, Come on. He does the lip reading stuff. But what I was gonna say again.

[D]

If you're not a big baseball guy like you and I, I.

[A]

He doesn't do just baseball.

[D]

Isaac, you're a man of reason. A man that combs his hair now that we do video. I mean, but if he.

[A]

If he's a guy that watched Friends, then he's gonna say, yeah, everyone knows.

[B]

Central Pro, But I wasn't a fan of Friends. I honestly think Friends is really overrated. But even I know Central.

[A]

If Monsie was here, she'd be cursing your name.

[D]

But I'm saying, would you say if you surveyed 100 Fox Sports Radio.

[A]

I never heard of Central Perk until yesterday.

[D]

If you surveyed 100 FOX Sports Radio random listeners and said, do you know Central Perk from Friends or do you know John Boy?

[B]

99% would know Central Perk.

[A]

Oh, I'm the 1%. Yeah. So I was doing cooler things, I guess. So you were. I know.

[D]

You must have been so busy getting booty.

[A]

You know what that means? That means I'm 99% cooler than most people. So what I'm trying to say is if you don't know John Boy, yeah, he grew in popularity. I'm just taking you back to why he even became a thing. Because he's the guy that broke the Houston Astros scandal when they were cheating. He's the first guy to call it out. And then people like, who's this John Boy guy? I mean he was doing his thing before that, but that's what really put him on the map and gave him relevance. And now he's got significant deals, he's making money moves with the mlb.

[D]

I get it. I'm a big Jon Boy fan, so don't get it twisted. Jason.

[A]

Jason Gianboy.

[D]

Let's get to the story at hand. John Boy who does all this great lip reading and he's a great guy. He covered a story about a Japanese baseball player.

[A]

No, Chinese baseball player. So it's a 43 year old guy.

[D]

I'm sorry, I was lip reading wrong.

[A]

Yeah, you misread it, I guess. Ling Xi Jun. Ling Xi Jun, I believe is the pronunciation. 43 year old Chinese pro league player, China. And this Guy's been a 19 time All Star and he's sort of done everything in the sport. And in his last at bat in front of a packed crowd, he's tipping his hat. This is his last farewell. He's saying, sayonara, I'm out, I've had an amazing career.

[D]

Literally, literally said sayonara.

[A]

The dude steps up to the plate and we'll just let John Boy make the explanation play. Yeah. 10 to nothing in the bottom the sixth inning. But the crowd is on their feet because Chinese professional baseball legend, 43 year old Lynn Xi Zheng is at the dish. He is announcing his retirement. Always announces retirement. So this is his final at bat in the league. Standing ovation, phones are out, pictures are being taken in the first pitch. Up and away, but called to strike. And look, the competitive spirit is still there. Look at this reaction from him. We go, ah, anything close, I'm gonna hit it. The pitcher says, hit this pal. I idolized you. He says, I will. Sends it over the Wall for his 305th career home run. He's led the league since he hit his 290th. This guy is a legend. He leads the league in a lot of. He was the first player in history of the league to reach 300 home runs. He has over 1, 800 hits in the CP, second all time in total bases and RBIS. He's a 19 time all star, played 22 years. And he says goodbye to the game in grand fashion. And if that was a fastball groove down there on purpose, I applaud it. I celebrate it. I need it. Like Jeter and Ripken in the All Star Games. Just groove them 1. Give the fans a moment and a memory. And good on him for taking care of business. Now that's a major assumption to say he grooved one to this legend. But maybe he did. Maybe there's more honor in the cpbl. But to then hit a bomb and hit a home run in your last at bat when it was already a moment, again, he was already waving his hat and saying farewell to the fans. I'd say that's one of the better endings in recent history. And that brings up a discussion that we want to have with you, Fox Sports Radio Nation. The best endings in sports, movies, shows, life.

[D]

I totally misread this conversation. I wrote down happy endings and I had the. Sean.

[A]

No, no.

[D]

Sean Watson. No, no, hold on, Bill.

[A]

No, no.

[D]

Robert Kraft crosses. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Not happy.

[D]

Not great endings. Okay, great endings.

[A]

Great endings because you have a long career. 305 career home runs. 43 year old dude, you know, on the field, that's 143 and he goes out with a bomb like that. Crowd goes nuts. It doesn't get better.

[D]

Now you still need to hit the home run. But that's what I mean. I remember you and I had this argument when Derek Jeter hit a home run at one point, like towards the end or when Jeter hit a walk off head, I was like, yeah, did he groove him one?

[A]

And then you got to ask an exclamation point.

[D]

Would you, if you were a big leaguer, I mean your, your reputation's on the line. Would you ever want to groove someone a pitch?

[A]

Absolutely not. That's what I'm saying. This is professional baseball, professional sports competition at its height.

[D]

I don't anyone's grooving guy just announced his retirement a day ago. Clayton Kershaw, when He got his 3,000th strikeout at Dodger Stadium. Remember, remember, it was like a very, like, what would you call it? Tense situation. Because if he didn't get that guy, if Dave Roberts was not going to send them out again, do you honor that legend by giving it to him? Or if you're like a young rando.

[A]

Player, say this in capital letters, N O. There's no professional athlete that's going to, you know, throw Kershaw a bone and strike out on purpose. But if he's like to be part of his get out of town dude central perk and now you're saying this, beat it with that. Get out of my face. Who is the guy who accused Brett Favre of taking a dive so that Strahan could get the.

[D]

Oh, that kind of reminds me, right?

[A]

So he's like, yeah, you just crumpled up or whatever, you know, and that. What that, you know, that's debatable, right? Is debatable for sure. That one's debatable.

[D]

So it's okay when it's, you know, far and Strahan, but you don't think an MLB player, some middle reliever, might not grew a pitch to Jeter or groove a pitch too?

[A]

Or if you're still on that, like.

[D]

You said, if it's.

[A]

Even if that were the case, it's still on the batter to then step up in the moment and hit a home run or do something big. Now, John Boy brought up Jeter. You brough up Jeter. He hit a walk off in his very last at bat and last game at Yankee Stadium. That is the coolest thing. So Jeter esque. He had a home run in his first 3,000th hit. Like he's done some amazing things, amazing moments. But imagine a walk off in your last game at Yankee Stadium. That's incredible. It makes me think of Ozzy Osborne. Just recently, the dude got together with his band. They hadn't played together Black sabbath in over 20 years. They raised millions of dollars for charity. One last show in his hometown and then he dies two weeks later. Like, that's a pretty dope send off. It's sad to see him go, but I'll see you on the other side. Ozzy Osborne.

[B]

That's pretty awesome.

[A]

You can't go out better than that. You say goodbye to your. Your friends and family, your loved ones. You're there for your daughter's engagement and you raise money for charity. And then you call it a day, call it a career. And this recent story in movies. I'll give you a movie, one that comes to mind for me. Sixth Sense. Does it get better than Sixth Sense? The first time you saw it, you're like, what? Sorry to spoil it. Thirty years later, he was dead the whole time. That's insane. So the best endings in sports, in movies, in life. Based on this ling Shi Jun Story 87799 on Fox there's only one guy.

[D]

That might have a better story than everyone. Have you ever seen Oakland A? Stephen Vogt? Stephen Voigt Vote V O G T.

[A]

Thought it was Voight.

[D]

Voight. I thought it was Voight too, but they're saying like Vaught. Anyway, his last at bat in his career. His kids announced him.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember that. I do remember that.

[D]

The final at bat, he gets up there and you hear on the PA all his kids, like, now batting our dad.

[A]

Yeah, that was fun.

[D]

And they do the announcement and guy rips a home run to right field and he's rattling the bases, pumping his fist.

[A]

Maybe they grooved him one.

[D]

And if they did.

[A]

And if they did, he still has to hit it. But they didn't. This isn't, you know, make a wish. This isn't a charity. This is professional sports. They're not, you know, giving it up, throwing meatballs. You wouldn't do that in Little League. You think they're doing that in the big leagues?

[D]

And you can't just hit a meatball over the fence any. Ask Jazz Chisholm in the Home Run Derby.

[A]

Exactly. So I said Ozzy, Sixth Sense, Derek Jeter. I got a few more. It's a common reference. If you followed Cavino and Rich over the years. One of our favorite stories is this bowler. I don't know his name because he was just some regular fella. I'll look it up. We should give him credit. There was this guy who bowled his whole life, right. He was one of those guys who bowled in leagues his whole life. Every Sunday, Monday night, whatever. He's in a league. Yeah. Now, Bundy type. And he was always trying to get that 300 game. Right. Always looted him. He's always trying to get that 300 game. Came close so many times. The story goes, he finally bowls his 300th game and he's in such a zone, in such a moment, in such celebration, he has a heart attack. As that happened, he dies there at the alley spot. Do you have his name? Don Dwan. Dhawan. Duane. Don juan. Don Dwan, 62 year old regular at Ravenna bowl in Michigan. Okay, so Don Juan dies 2008, celebrating his three, his first. Oh yeah.

[D]

That's amazing. What a way to go out. Really, right?

[A]

Well, actually it's happened multiple times. Did you know that? What? 300 games? Yeah. No way.

[D]

Followed by a heart attack.

[A]

Gary Bittner in 1992, died, collapsed shortly after rolling his first 300 games. You know, your heart, heart's pounding. You're so nervous. You're so close to this lifelong goal. You know, maybe it, maybe you're in bad health to begin with, right? So this puts you over the edge. Pictures of beer. Maybe a lot of those games. Too many trips.

[B]

Snack bar.

[A]

Yeah. Right. Hot dogs and beer, you know, so, you know, no, it's. Any ending is a sad ending, but you want to go out on top. That's the way to do it.

[D]

I always wondered. This is a morbid thought, but do you think there's anyone in the city of Chicago, some old timey time guy that might have been 80, 90, 100 years old, died right before the Reds, the Cubs won the World Series?

[A]

Probably.

[D]

You think there's some guy that was like, the stress got to him, was like, game seven of the World Series. I've been waiting my whole.

[A]

Yeah, but you just ruined the conversation. Because you could say there was a guy that lived just long enough to.

[D]

See it and they did it.

[A]

Yeah. That would go with the conversation. The best endings in sports, in movies, in life. I gave you some sports ones. I gave you a movie, I think.

[D]

The number one TV show that no one's gonna say. The number one answer to me in sports. I mean. Yeah, cheater. You said that. There's always gonna be a variety of answers, but I think the fact that John Elway won a Super Bowl.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

And everyone's like, john, walk away. You won one. You finally won one. He's like, I'm gonna play again. No. And then he won a second one.

[A]

Yeah, that's.

[D]

And then walked away. Because that was.

[A]

It really is the number one.

[D]

That was the ultimate, like, deal or no Deal? Howie Mandel, like, take the. Take the money. And he's like, I'm gonna open another case. Like, John Elway decided to quote, open another case.

[A]

He pressed his luck and he got big bucks.

[D]

No whammy. No whammy. Stop. And John Elway was the only person in my mind that decided to say, I won. I'm not gonna retire. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna try to run it back. And they did.

[A]

And you know what? That's why, to tie it into something recent, a lot of people are saying Terence Crawford should go out on top. Cause in. In sports and fighting especially, you see so many people go out when it's too late. Right. So your thoughts, the best endings based on this story. Guy hit his 305th home run at his last at bat in the CPBL Chinese legend. And the clip's gone kind of viral because, you know, what are the odds? What are the chances? Now your phone calls next, 87799 on Fox. And remember, we debut our new game today. Giving away prizes. Synonymous city. We got more Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways.

[A]

To tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

[D]

So I thought it would be fun if we made things $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.

[A]

So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

[D]

Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

Of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy, taxes and fees extra.

Krantz on standby, waiting just to say hi with his update.

[D]

Did he stop?

[A]

No, he just drove by. Now we're talking about the best endings in life, the best endings in sports, movies, entertainment, TV shows.

[D]

This is very open to your interpretation because you could say best ending. Like, didn't Elvis Presley die on a toilet eating a sandwich? Is that a good ending? I don't know.

[A]

I always think about that because I think there's something. There is something cool about it.

[D]

Is that, like, the worst or best way?

[A]

Is it true, though? Is it actually true that he was eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich? Oh, while he did. I don't know. I know he. He gained a lot of weight eating those. That's. That's true. Wow. So the story is he just died while he was using the bathroom. Yeah, I think he was eating a sandwich. No, I don't. He was.

[D]

He wasn't.

[A]

No, he was. He was exerting himself. You're thinking of the Eminem video. Here's what I. Here's what I've heard. Say it. Danny said. Danny, you're thinking of the Eminem video. Well, those are usually not fictional. So if you go to the Internet, the Internet might tell you this story that he, at the time, was addicted to painkillers, which make you constipated. So he was trying to exert himself, and he ended up having a heart attack on the John. Which I do. You know, look, he's the king of rock and roll. He died on his throne.

[D]

Yeah, there you go. Some people don't know that. That's what that salt and pepper song is about, right? Push it.

[A]

Push it real good. No, the static X1 is about that. So I got. I got another one.

[D]

Best ending. Let's hear it.

[A]

You're gonna disagree?

[B]

You know what?

[A]

I'm gonna save this one.

[D]

Ted Lasso. When it comes to Ted Lasso, Best of the.

[A]

I was gonna say Ted Lasso. A lot of people said was good, but it's coming back, so your answer doesn't count. I know who's the boss? Corny TV show that we all grew up with. Ayo. Oh, hey, if you remember how the show started, Tony Maselli comes in. I heard you're looking for a housekeeper. Oh, oh, let me vacuum your drapes. But guess what? That's how it ends. And he comes back with a tuxedo like he wanted to marry Angela. Will you marry me? And it's a really emotional episode. Like, I feel like the way it started and the ended was kind of perfect for a cheesy 80s sitcom. So I'm throwing that into the conversation.

[D]

Hold on.

[A]

You.

[D]

You two knuckleheads. You and Spot both recently rewatched the Sopranos. Oh, watching it, watching it, watching it. The second time, I remember we all banged on our tv. Like, oh, my God, my TV broke.

[A]

So impactful. The whole.

[D]

Don't stop.

[A]

I think that's totally a tremendous answer. The show still holds up. It's worth the watch again. And if you're confused as to what happened. He got whacked at the diner. Positive. And here's. I did my detective work. There's an episode in the last season called Members Only the guy. It's your favorite because you still have a Members Only jacket.

[D]

Just because you put on your Members Only jacket and put on your John Stossel mustache doesn't mean you really investigated this.

[A]

The guy that walks in to the diner, to the restaurant in the last episode is wearing a Members Only jacket. Clearly, he takes out Tony, but it's left to interpretation. And for that reason, because the world was shook by it. That's belongs in this conversation. So if you just joined us, Ling Xi Jun, a Chinese baseball cpbl. Chinese baseball legend, in his last at bat, goes yard and the crowd went nuts. 305th career home run. What a great ending. What else comes to mind for you?

[D]

Best ending, I would have to say, if you're a Patriots Fan, you might say, oh, the comeback versus the Falcons. But if you're a Patriots fan, you probably thought all hope was gone. Oh, they're going to give the ball to Marshawn Lynch. It's over. Imagine the emotional roller coaster you must have been on as a Patriots fan.

[A]

Oh, man, when you're right, they. We usually think of how the. How the Seahawks blew it.

[D]

Yeah, but imagine if you're a Patriots fan and you're like, oh, man, we lost it. And you're probably thinking, like, oh, man, we'll get him next year. Your interception at the goal line, that's an ending. Even Tom Brady was, like, jumping like a schoolboy.

[A]

Like, you know, that's a good one.

[D]

So, I mean, come on.

[A]

Not sure if you guys mentioned this or not as I was answering the studio lines, but I always think about John Elway.

[D]

Oh, we talked about him before the break.

[A]

John Elway in sports, that's probably the greatest example of. That's how you do it. You go out on top.

[D]

Well, no.

[A]

So hard to do that in sports.

[D]

My point was he could have went out on top of. Believed in himself so much that he's like, I'm going to run it back. And I remember being like, no, John, no.

[A]

Yeah, because normally when you run it back, it doesn't work out.

[D]

And if you remember, they were big underdogs against the Packers. He helicoptered into the end zone. It was perfect. But that team was so stacked, they came back the next year and just whooped the Falcons in the Super Bowl. And I'll be honest, the team around them even sort of did all the work for John. So, you know what? Great ending. You can't argue Elway, Dina hitting us up on the intro saying, karino, great answer. Who's the boss?

[A]

It was. It was for, you know, a silly show that we grew up watching. A lot of times you're like, how did that show end? Some of them had really good endings.

[D]

You know, already in Florida has a thought on whether or not MLB pitchers would be susceptible to groove a pitch to someone that is looking for a monumental moment. Because I'm telling you, when Kershaw got that strikeout number 3,000, there's no groovy.

[A]

Kind of love when it comes to competition in the mlb. Oh, just this ain't the groove line. This ain't Heat Wave.

[D]

It just dawned on me. That's why he played groove tonight.

[A]

Yeah. That's why he played Earth.

[D]

I just thought he was in like a. I thought he was going to a wedding.

[A]

Party I was playing it for. Let's groove this pitch. You don't groove a fastball in there and then think this guy's going to hit a home run.

[D]

Artie, what's up, man?

[A]

Hey, how you doing?

[D]

What's up, bro? Well, McLean grooved one for Mantle for.

[B]

His number, 535 or 536 back in 68.

[D]

There's a clip out there.

[B]

Mantle talking about if Freehand told him.

[A]

Which pitch was coming and Mantle hit it. You know what, man? I think that's a different time. And here's what I mean by that. Well, first of all, it's the 60s, right? But I feel like in old timey times, baseball. Do you hear how, like, these old guys talk about Babe Ruth? They would have let Babe, like, have sex with their wife because they respected him so much. And that's how everybody treated Mickey Mantle, too, like, oh, the Mick. I'll groove one for you, the Mick. Here you go. Hey, whatever you say, Mick. What do you want a fastball say? Of course they would have. It's a different time. I don't think people have that level of respect nowadays.

[D]

You know what? I want to go to the rest of the feedback, but I don't want to make Isaac wait. Look at him getting ready for the update. What's doing, Isaac Loewencron.

[B]

I was actually going to find that Mickey Mantle story because I've got a couple of things percolating. But keep that in mind. We will get you caught up on all the NFL injury reports. The Washington Commanders today officially ruling out quarterback Jaden Daniels for Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a sprained knee. Now, San Francisco 49ers quarterback, quarterback Brock Purdy will officially be listed as questionable for their game Sunday against Arizona. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters a short time ago it's highly unlikely that Purdy will start the game, meaning Mac Jones is in line to start for a second straight week.

[D]

Now, do you interpret that as he's going to be essentially the backup? They would suit him up. So I wonder if it's a yo, Mac Jones, if he's handling his business, we're all good. If Mac Jones throws two picks in the first half and the Niners are down to their division opponent, maybe you see Brock Purdy in the second half.

[B]

Correct. And obviously, especially if something happens to Mac Jones from a health standpoint, but that is significant that he would be in line to be dressed out as the number two, or conceivably the number three. Quarterback, but most likely the number two quarterback. Kansas City Chiefs listed receiver Xavier Worthy as questionable for Sunday night's game against the New York Giants due to a shoulder injury. A coup in Atlanta among placekickers as the Falcons released longtime place kicker young Wei Ku and signed placekicker Parker Romo to the active roster after Romo went 5 for 5 on field goals in last Sunday's win at Minnesota. Finally in the NBA, Miami Heat All Star guard Tyler Herro had successful left ankle surgery today and is expected to miss the start of the regular season. And Speaking of the NBA guys talking about going out in style, how about Kobe's 60 point game in his finale against the Utah Jazz? And finally, finally, on a non sports note, do you guys know how Matthew McConaughey's father went out? He called his shot. He would tell his sons, Matthew McConaughey and his brothers sons, when I go out, it's gonna be while I'm your mother. And he did.

[A]

Wow, that's.

[B]

And their mom was. No, this is a little more. But I'll tell you guys later anyway.

[D]

It sounds like a fun way, but if I was an old man and that happened to my wife, then you're just laying there.

[A]

Yeah, I feel good for dad, bad for mom.

[D]

Yeah, Mom's like.

[B]

Well, that's the thing. She was, she must have been in shock. Maybe, but she was apparently so proud. They told, she told the paramedics not to cover him with a sheet as they were wheeling him out.

[A]

Why? Because he was smiling, among other things. Oh wow, that's funny.

[D]

Did she forget it? Okay. All right. Thank you, Isaac Lonecron. We got more Covino and Rich coming up right here on Fox Sports radio.

You could watch us Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. C O V I N O Covino and Rich. But we're talking about the best endings in sports. Joe Carter comes to mind. Kirk Gibson comes to mind.

[D]

Touch them all Joe.

[A]

I saw this movie when I was a kid starring Peter North. Had a really crazy ending. Gretch, I don't know but it comes to mind. Comes to mind. How about Roy Hobbs? Oh, the natural. Now in honor of Robert Redford who passed away. This. Yeah, that's legendary. So the best endings because this 43 year old Chinese baseball legend hit a home run in his last at bat. And it wasn't just the last at bat. It was like the tip of the hat goodbye to the fans. It was like a big deal, nice cool thing. So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. The best endings in last.

[D]

Let me get to the phone calls. Reading the in show chat and that. Let me switch over to the phones. We'll go to Dan in Michigan.

[A]

Hey Dan.

[D]

What's up Danny?

[B]

Hey, what's up guys? One of my favorite ball players in his last at bat at Great American Ballpark was thrown out for arguing balls and strikes. The great Joey Votto that.

[D]

You know what? I'm glad you liked it because that makes me feel better because I hated it so much. It's wild to think that an umpire wouldn't have the wherewithal to give vato a little.

[A]

He's a Vato loco a little extra.

[D]

Right? I mean, come on.

[A]

I think that's kind of cool, though, because it is a cool story thrown.

[D]

Out in your last. Yeah, maybe it is more fun right.

[A]

Further removed from it. Yeah, it's like, I. I guess that's kind of. At least it's memorable.

[D]

All right, John in Montana. What's up, John?

[B]

Hey, I love the show, guys.

[A]

Thank you. Wanted to mention.

[B]

Absolutely. I wanted to mention the Ultimate Warrior. He finally got into the hall of Fame.

[D]
