[B]

And to quote Brother love in the 90s, everyone supporting Covino and Rich, I love you. Now last night, after watching all our football, I just want to shout out a movie that's creepy as could be. I don't know if it was good or not. You know, when you watch a horror movie, it's hard to decide if it's good or not.

[A]

It's not how you sell it. If you don't know if it's good, then I don't want to hear about it.

[B]

Well, not even. I'm just saying, like, I feel like.

[A]

Other movies like saying, hey, this tastes like booty. You want to taste it like, no, thanks. You just told me.

[B]

Is this milk sour? Smell this. If you watch, oh my God, Smell my gym sneakers.

[A]

And you don't know how to feel about it, then what do I care about?

[B]

I feel like comedies. I can immediately tell you if I find it funny. Like, by the way, Chad Powers, are you watching yet?

[A]

I am. It's good. I don't love it. I don't like it. Love it or gotta have it? I think it's good.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

I'm a tough critic, man. I'm hard to please.

[B]

You're like Siskel and Ebert.

[A]

That's right. That's right. And Roper get my attention.

[B]

And Roper, you're all three.

[A]

Takes a lot of jiggly on TikTok to get my attention.

[E]

Rich, what did you think of task on hbo? Max?

[B]

I watched episode one. I liked it. I'm going to keep with it. Enjoyed that. I watched a movie with Julia Garner, you know, from Ozark. Marty. Marty, the one that Has Justin Timberlake hair. She's in a horror movie that was in theaters early this year. It's on HBO Max now.

[A]

She went to the salon and asked for the Thurman Merman.

[B]

It's called Weapons.

[A]

I've heard good things about it, bro.

[B]

It is creepy. Especially if you have little kids. If you need a creepy movie in between all your sports this week, I mean, it is the sports equinox today. So maybe not today, but later this week. If you need some creepy, creepy, creepy stuff, I think it's. I think it's worth the watch. How about that?

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Did I not sell it hard enough.

[A]

By saying not at all? You said you know how to feel about it. Yeah, just. I don't know. So I have one more observation before we go to your phone calls. Remember, we have games to play this hour. Last one standing. We're going to talk some Ravens. We got to get to Rich's picks tonight because, well, you got World Series game three and a great football game to check out.

[B]

Well, I was. I was going to ask you, as you have your observations, we usually around this time announce who we think the real teams are. Do you want to save that for later this week? Remember, we usually say it takes about eight weeks. And where are we, buddy boy?

[A]

I completely agree with what we said before. It's the horsey teams.

[B]

Oh, the horsey teams.

[A]

Broncos. It's the Manning teams. It's the Broncos and Colts. That's it. Those are the two legit teams. Those are the two consistently good teams throughout the entire season. There's other good teams, but they play erratically. Right. They're never consistent.

[B]

I'm sorry. And then in the nfc, Camino goes. It's the greeny teams. The packers and the Eagles, they were green. So, I mean, are those the teams? Do we nail it? The green teams and the horsey teams and.

[A]

Yeah, the former Peyton man.

[B]

There you go. It's perfect.

[D]

I think that the NFC playoff picture is set. I don't know what order, but I think we know the seven teams in the nfc.

[B]

Can I see if I agree with you?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. We get the Eagles, obviously.

[D]

That's 1.

[B]

The Lions 2.

[A]

The Bucks 3.

[B]

I hate to say it, the Rams, 4. Here's where it gets a little dicey here. I was, I wonder if. Danny, you going to give the Niners or the Seahawks one of those others? Just which. Which of which. One? That is up to you. Really?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Seahawks you're going to get.

[D]

So I thought you meant Danny G. Yes.

[B]

So you'll go Seahawks.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

And I would go Niners. So that's. We're assuming someone else in the NFC west will get.

[D]

I'm going both.

[B]

Oh, both. Really?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. So you think because. Yeah. Because no one else in the south.

[D]

Is going to make it in Green Bay.

[B]

And Green.

[F]

I'm sorry.

[B]

Yeah. Due to the Packers. Yeah.

[A]

Green Bay. Especially after last night. Yeah. Jordan. Love look good.

[B]

The Bears just have two. You know, the Bears lost.

[D]

I don't know how you can trust them.

[B]

Yeah. They can't trust the Bear. So I'm with you there. That's. And our teams, unfortunately, I think have an early exit and I think you're looking at like Lions and the Green teams. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Maybe.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I forgot the Lion. Sorry.

[A]

So things that made you go.

[B]

I agree with you. Honestly, I'd be shocked either way. We did that like a year ago. We were so wrong. So I love that we're doing it.

[D]

Let's try it right now. Throw it out there.

[F]

That's it.

[D]

I thought yesterday I thought. I'm like, I think we kind of know anyone.

[B]

We're missing Cove. We'll give you real quick.

[A]

No, I was. Yeah, I don't think so.

[B]

Eagles and then you got Lions in Green Bay, the Bucks and then Rams, Seattle, San Francisco. In any. No particular order.

[A]

You know, speaking of the nfc and you bring up the Eagles. I did want to make one last point. The Giants are done, obviously. I mean, it's sad, but I did want to make that point. Like when you saw Scatter Boo's ankle. Danny G. Was the first to hit me up. Somehow I missed it. He's like, yo, man, did you see that? I'm like, I guess I don't want it.

[B]

The NFL nowadays, every week. But one of your buddies is like, did you see. And you're like, no.

[A]

Somehow I missed it. And then obviously I saw it like minutes later and that's.

[E]

They closed in on it for a second. His foot was facing the wrong direction. And yeah. The announcer gasped and they like, okay. They. You could sit. You could tell the producers, like, don't go back to that. Because then they did a wide shot.

[A]

Dart's still going to be fun to watch, but they're not going to be the same. Obviously. I'm stating the obvious, but that's pretty much it. Because anything competitive from the Giants was going to come from that tandem, I thought. And neighbors. But yeah. So they're done. Let me ask you this.

[B]

Being that you have your quarterback, that's a positive. I'm not saying you pull him and be like, oh, Russ, get back in there. Let's not chance anything. You're two and six. But let me ask you this. With Dart knowing that after recovery, Malik, Neighbors and Scatterboo, you'll get some high draft picks because you're going to end up with a top five bad record, I'm sure.

[A]

Yeah, they'll be in good position for next year.

[B]

If you're a Giants fan, well, you could say, well, this year's a wash. Now.

[A]

Is there a sense ugly for the rest of the year?

[B]

Is there a sense of, well, the future looks bright.

[E]

There's a sense of we found some core players to build around, build around them.

[B]

Now you got to ask yourself, you're just Brian Dable. Is Brian Dable the guy to lead those core players or do you feel like the Giants with that core with draft, with draft picks, with some possible cap money to play with, could the Giants say, well, you know, you might want to just start new leadership with that as well? Or as Brian Dable earned his keep.

[A]

He is there to stay because I think of with the he's linked to Dart. So he's like, we're going to coach Dart up out of his rookie year. This is the Scatterbo. You know, injury is a setback.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

It's like what you can't really blame day ball for a guy who was playing really well that gets injured. So I think he stays no matter how bad it gets for the Giants. And Dan Beyer had the update that Scatterboo had successful ankle surgery. But it's going to be a long recovery back, season's done. But yeah, I guess the silver lining is you found some good guys to build around moving forward. But that is kind of disappointing.

[E]

And that projected salary cap number for them, the space for them next season, 90 million.

[B]

Yeah. So the Giants could turn things around rather quickly. They could be that team that next year you're like, they could be the hot team to talk about. And you know what, I'll say it now, next off season, after whoever wins the super bowl, the Lions, the Bills, the Colts, whoever the hell it may be, the Broncos next off season, when we talk about who's the like the fun, sexy team people are going to talk about, it'll probably be the Giants who have probably made some moves, got some draft picks and they have those young core players healthy, I bet you next year the Giants are going to be a very like hot team.

[D]

Dare we say Giants hard knocks next summer?

[B]

How can you not want that.

[G]

Right?

[A]

It would be fine.

[E]

For sure.

[B]

That would be. Must watch tv. Those knuckleheads headbutting.

[A]

Dan, put that out there. I love it.

[D]

Well, we loved how they were in the off season, even though Joe Shane hates it because it revealed the warts of the process. But if you had an up and coming team, maybe what happened in the off season would preclude them from doing so. But that would be an interesting watch. Yeah.

[A]

These young boneheads feel like a Netflix reality show.

[D]

Yeah, right.

[A]

And to watch them on Hard Knocks would be great.

[B]

I feel like they remind me of guys that would be on Love is Blind.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. They feel like guys that. Is it Love Island? No, it's. It's hard and a couple good looking women and you'll be like, what is this? What are we watching? Temptation Island.

[A]

That's a good call, Dan Byer. We'll see what happens with that. Now, again, speaking of football and your observations don't have to be football related. Could be World Series, baseball, ufc, Halloween, whatever.

[E]

Could be Yamamoto's complete game.

[A]

Dude. Insane performance from Yamamoto. It could be Snell struggling.

[B]

Yo, can I just say, it is, it is wild to think the return you're getting on Yamamoto based on, you know, what really matters. The postseason. Right. When it's, when it's all about the postseason and you got a guy that threw back to back complete games in today's game where no one does that, that's like he has earned everything the Dodgers put into Yamamoto. And that acquisition to me is already paid off.

[E]

He's one of those guys that looks like he gets better as the game goes. It looked like he could have thrown two more innings.

[B]

There's guys that you could see second or third time through the lineup. They're, they've, they're losing it. Yamamoto, you're right. It looks like there's no.

[A]

I think Dave Roberts said he could, he could throw 40 more pitches.

[E]

He's. That first inning, he got in Trouble. He threw 25 pitches for the remaining eight innings. He threw 83 pitches.

[A]

Well, we have one more story we have to get to. It involves the Ravens. But first, Dan Byers got a news story for you. Breaking news, breaking news story, breaking news from Fox Sports.

[D]

And it will be a perfect segue to your story because Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says they expect Lamar Jackson to start Thursday night for their game in Miami against the Dolphins. So Lamar Jackson back in action, week nine, not week eight, week nine, this Thursday against Miami.

[B]

So Mike McDaniels, joy lasted what, four days? Yeah.

[C]

Who knows?

[D]

Maybe we'll get a shootout, right?

[B]

Yeah, maybe so. But you know what? As listen, the Ravens for. For the long shot, people that think, well, it's not over yet. The Steelers losing and the Bengals blowing that game to the jets did nothing but give Baltimore fans Dan by a glimmer.

[F]

A little.

[D]

Like I said, didn't I say on this show a couple of weeks ago. I'm sorry, I just, I feel that. I know I said it somewh.

[B]

I think he did where I thought.

[D]

If you look at what they've got, if Lamar comes back, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

[B]

And the division also has to play each other and you know, they play a lot of division.

[D]

And then last night I think the NFL Network put a graphic up on the screen that said we know the Bengals are three and five, but we don't think they're a legit contender. This is how the Steelers and Ravens schedules match up. So even the NFL Network is thinking the same things. Yes. What a one.

[B]

What a.

[D]

You know what a win will do for you. For the Baltimore Ravens, there were some.

[B]

I remember if you're a fan of NFL history, there were some Chargers teams.

[A]

Remember for there was like that in college in Syracuse.

[B]

Yes. I took NFL history and Booty Chasing 101 NFL history. I always remember there was like at least one Chargers team that started like ass. Was there a couple years where the Chargers would get a weak start and somehow find a way to. To get into the playoffs. I feel like that was the Chargers M.O. for a minute. But this would be a really remarkable one in five to make it a possible postseason.

[A]

Well, let's rewind and figure out how it all started and how it all.

[E]

Changed and turned around from last week. We teased the story and we never got to it.

[A]

Yeah, let's do it. Let's go back in time. Let's go back to week six, which is a weak weak for the Ravens. Right. They lost to the rams. They lose 17 to 3 to the Rams. Then they had that bye week. And then the story was the Baltimore Ravens removed a basketball hoop, a ping pong table, cornhole boards and a video game console. It was like Peewee's Playhouse in there.

[E]

Not Pac Man.

[A]

They had a full on playroom.

[B]

Did they get rid of Globey? Yeah.

[A]

Cherry. No, they removed the gaming consoles all from the locker room. It actually started after week four. So week four, five, six, they had nothing there to entertain him. And it was Harbaugh's way Of, like, punishing them. And we speculated, like, is this gonna work? Because it doesn't seem to be working. And that's where we turn it over to you. Yes, these are men, but they're not grown men. Keep that in mind. But you don't want to treat them like children, either. Like, hey, you guys get no toys. But now we're talking. Hey, things may be turning around. He had a nice win over the bears. 3016. You just heard Dan Byers update. Lamar Jackson's coming back. Hey, you know what?

[B]

They got a glimmer of hope.

[A]

They still got time. They might make it. Could the punishment be working? Do you believe in punishments? Do you believe in punishing your kids this way? Do you believe in punishing grown adults? Because that's really what happened.

[E]

Now, an important note to this. The coaching staff, including John Harbaugh, deny that they were the ones that made the decision to remove this stuff. Veteran players are saying it was their decision.

[A]

Okay?

[E]

But fair enough.

[A]

The story was that Harbaugh, right? Well, he was part of the story and his image is there. So we're led to believe that it's their call, the coach's call, that did this. You know, what are your thoughts on that? And it's not considered punishment. I guess you could say his consequence or, hey, we got to get our head in the game. We got to focus, you know? Or do you look at it like a punishment? And as a kid who was never punished, big shock. I don't vibe with that, man. You know, people need to take accountability and be accountable, but at the same time, you need to try everything to see if it works. What are your thoughts? Do you think you could punish grown men? Well, not grown men, just men. And get positive results. Or more resentment than anything else.

[B]

I think if the proof is it.

[A]

Looks like it's working, and I didn't think it would.

[E]

Or even the younger guys. Covino, if that's true, that it was a bunch of the older players, a few of the older players that got together and said, these youngsters need to focus. That'd be like the OGs at a radio station saying, look at these younger guys here. We gotta take the bells and whistles out of the hallway.

[A]

Yeah, I think it's earthquake. One of these comedians do a bit, and they're like, man, there's nothing you do to these kids nowadays. These young people especially, because the only thing you do is shut off their WI Fi and that'll get them to pay attention real quick. So this was their Way the veterans, players way of saying, yo, these young dudes need to focus. You know what I think of that?

[B]

There is a big difference. And what you and Danny just said, let me agree that.

[A]

But it's loose atmosphere.

[B]

A big difference between veteran players saying, yo, young bucks, we got to tighten up. We're better than this. Yo, no more ping pong, no more effing around versus, no more basketball versus, like, I hate to call him out because he's a winner, but, like, remember, like, Tom Coughlin back in the day had that reputation. Like, if you're. If you're not 10 minutes early, you're late. And none of this and none of that, like, I don't think an old hard ass type of vibe works with everyone. But if the veteran players that have been there, Danny G. I'm talking about the guys on the Ravens that have been to AFC championship games, guys that have seen what it's like to make a postseason run. If those guys are telling the young cats, yo, time to stop all this horse crap.

[A]

Well, you know what? Let me play devil's advocate. I'll be a Keanu Reeves.

[B]

So. So.

[A]

Because he's in devil's advocate. So you don't believe in chemistry builders? Is that what you're saying? So when you're just sitting there, then what do you do? What do you do?

[B]

I'll play devil's advocate. No, no. All right, I'll be Al Pacino.

[A]

Okay, fine.

[B]

You think ping pong's the answer? You know what?

[A]

I'll show you big time.

[B]

I'll show you ping pong.

[A]

I do. And I'm glad you said that because let me take you back again. When I first heard this story, yeah. I thought to myself, well, this isn't going to work. And it turns out that, hey, they won yesterday and Jackson's coming back. And maybe when I first heard this story, I'm like, you're punishing these young football players. That's not going to work. This is the opposite of what's going to work. That's counterproductive. Because when you take it back to our early days of broadcasting in the early 2000s, we had a ping pong table in the lobby of Sirius xm. Dude, nothing brought people together harder than that ping pong table. It was dudes from the Hip Hop channel playing dudes from the rock channel. And then the dude from the country channel would come and battle someone from the army.

[B]

I remember Cavino having a battle. You know Sway from mtv. Sway?

[A]

Yeah, dude, of course.

[E]

World famous Wake up show.

[A]

But, dude, we'd be talking smack. We got to know each other. We were having fun, right? We sit there in the lobby, just all with one company coming together because of the ping pong table. So when they told the story of their removing the basketball hoop, the ping pong table, the video games, I'm like, dude, you're taking away the chemistry of this team. So I'm a little torn because time has gone and now we're at week. We're entering week nine. And I'm like, maybe I was wrong, but I'm standing my ground and saying that these are things that build chemistry. I don't. I don't know how it's going to turn around, but it seems like it has, at least for a week. What are your thoughts on punishing adults, punishing kids?

[B]

It's so subjective.

[A]

Taking their fun away.

[B]

You know what?

[A]

To me, these are chemistry builders.

[B]

I think it's hard to really gauge because for everyone that doesn't like to be given tough love, some people respond to it. It's so subjective. You got 53 grown men.

[A]

That is true.

[B]

Some are going to respond to, like, me. I'm okay with tough love. Kavino doesn't like criticism. Kavina likes pats on the back.

[A]

True. Yeah, no, there's different personalities in every locker room. I get it. But I think those things are what build friendships and build trust and build camaraderie, and that builds a winning team. And you took all the fun out of that locker room to make a point.

[B]

Look at Mike McDaniel, who's like a light, fun, quirky, nerdy, you know, sarcastic coach. What was the vibe there? He was too loose. Where the players weren't even showing up when they needed to because I was like, yeah, whatever. Like, what is coach going to do? Honestly, it's so to the player.

[A]

Yeah, but they're not little kids either.

[B]

I do.

[A]

I do. I wasn't even punished as a kid.

[B]

The more I think about it. Let me just go over something real quick, Danny. I know we're gonna come back and play the game that everyone loves.

[A]

Well, the question is. Fox Sports Radio Nation. Think about it. Do punishments really work? Like these type of things?

[B]

I never thought being grounded is a way. Being grounded. I was never really truly grounded as a kid. I was punished. Maybe don't. You can't go out for a night, but when kids are like, you're grounded for a month, I'm like, what is that doing? You're, like, ruining your kid's social life. I Don't know. Anyway, by the way, I would say I'm calling you out because the other day you said no way, no how the Ravens make it. Do you remember you said that?

[A]

Yeah, I think that was Thursday or Friday, and I still don't believe so.

[B]

All right, they're two and five.

[A]

They'd have to go what, nine and something.

[B]

Here's what I'm going to give you. I'm just going to read it off. You don't have to play Schedule 7 and 2. But I want, I want you to, I want you to take me through the next week's rapid fire. Ravens at Dolphins win three and five. At the Vikings, who don't even have a quarterback. Four and five.

[A]

The Browns five and five, 500 now.

[B]

Jets six and five now.

[A]

You got me.

[B]

The Bengals come to Baltimore, seven and five.

[A]

There's going to be an upset thrown in there.

[E]

There's going to be a loss somewhere.

[B]

Let's just be pops. The Steelers, you dropped that one. 7 and 6. The Patriots are at 7 and 7. Green Bay and the Raven, it's going.

[C]

To come down seven and eight.

[B]

No, bro, I'm telling you, it's good.

[A]

Jackson could come back with a vengeance.

[D]

Yeah, it's just the fact that it's, it may not happen, but it's not.

[B]

Over the simple fact that 2 and 5 doesn't sound like it's over.

[A]

And I guess the, the positive here, much like any relationship or any job, knowing that you tried everything, there's peace of mind involved. So they, they do have the peace of mind of saying, well, at least you tried to get the locker room back. And we took it serious. We took those games out. You know, we, we. No more ping pong. And we, you know, we gave it our best effort. Okay? So at least they have that moving forward. Even if you get Lamar back. They had a lot of injuries on def.

[B]

You're right. And they were giving up a million points. I agree with you. But the, the reality mode, the fact that it's not over is wild. Right. And I wonder if you're a gambling man or a woman. I wonder if it's worthy of like a hundred dollar prop bet. Like what's the odds of them making the Postseason as a 2 and 5 team? Probably odds are pretty good.

[A]

I picked the Ravens as my super bowl pick from the afc, so I want them to make it, but I just don't think it's going to happen.

[B]

I will. Hey, we play this game every week and we're going to do it Next. It's so much fun. Pressure's on. It's called last one standing and I love it. Covino gets stressed. I love seeing that. And you could win a prize. So if you want in, we need to Contest it now. 87799 on Fox. We'll do it next right here live. Kavino and Rich.

[F]

I love it.

[A]

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.

[D]

Say hi Dan.

[H]

Hey. How's it going today?

[A]

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

[H]

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan which is America's largest injury law firm firm.

[A]

That's pretty awesome. Why do you guys think you win so many cases?

[H]

The insurance companies and other companies that we go against know that we're going to take it to the end that we believe in the case. So we fight for every dollar and we're not afraid to go that extra mile for our clients.

[A]

Are insurance companies like actually afraid of you guys?

[H]

We don't bluff. We take it to trial. And we are not strangers of getting very, very, very large verdicts.

[D]

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact.

[A]

With Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

[H]

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's £529 from your cell phone. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 247 365.

[B]

I was born in Queens, New York. How dare you. Go.

[A]

I wouldn't use the word beautiful.

[B]

It's not.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

It's not that beautiful. All right.

[E]

Reno, Nevada. Goodyear, Arizona. Pittsburgh, Kansas.

[H]

The worst.

[E]

Chandler, Arizona or Louisville, Kentucky.

[D]

Gosh, a lot of good choices.

[E]

All right, DB on the board. As we go to the second category in the QB's grill, will you have five seconds to name an NFL team that leads the league in most sacks this season? Team that leads the league in sacks. Giving them, not taking them sacks. All right, we'll take the top 16. Cade, you're going to be up first for this category. Starting right now. Go.

[B]

Oh, son of a.

[E]

Walks off with back to.

[D]

I wrote down Texans as well.

[E]

Cade. That was a valiant effort, though. You did good, especially in that first round.

[A]

Yeah, you really did. So up my ass.

[E]

Thank you for playing the game with us today. That is Byers, what, 35th win in this game.

[A]

We gotta install a handicap into this game.

[B]

Thank you, db.

[A]

That's what makes it fun. We gotta. You know, you gotta beat the best to be the man. You gotta beat the man. And when it comes to last one standing, that man is Dan Byron. He's got your update. What up, db?

[D]

So much to update, but we are getting closer and closer to game three of the World Series. Blue Jays and Dodgers coming up. Up coverage on Fox, 7 o' clock Eastern Time. It's Max Scherzer against Tyler Glasno. Series tied up at a game of peace prior to today's game. Mookie Betts named the 2025 Roberto Clemente Award winner. Now onto the NFL. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says he expects quarterback Lamar Jackson to return from his hamstring injury and play Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins. Here was Harbaugh a bit earlier in Baltimore.

[A]

I feel very confident, you know, feel.

[B]

Very confident about it and, you know, would expect him to be out there Thursday night.

[D]

Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz was placed on injured reserve. He'll miss the rest of the season because he needs surgery to repair his injured left shoulder. NFL Network says Wentz dislocated the shoulder in Week 5 against the Browns in London and played through a torn labrum and fractured socket. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has a chance to practice on Wednesday as he tries to return from a sprained ankle. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco's day today with a sore shoulder. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said it isn't a quote, long shot, end quote, for quarterback Brock Purdy to face the Giants this Sunday, but that they'd know more on Wednesday. Still going to be some time for Brandon Iuk. Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua will return from his foot injury to face the Saints in Week nine. Bill's defensive tackle Ed Oliver feared to have suffered a torn bicep. That's according to Adam Schefter, who said that he's going to be sidelined indefinitely. Likely to miss the rest of the regular season in Giants running back Cam Scatterboo released from the hospital following successful surgery on his dislocated right ankle. Guys, back to you.

[B]

Thanks, DB.

[A]

Thanks, Dan.

[B]

I mean, as a Niners fan, I would hope that the Niners could get by the Giants this week. They have to go out east to play MetLife, but after that, you're getting closer to getting my you back. Purdy hopefully isn't as banged up, so, you know, you just got to beat the Giants, stay on pace for you.

[D]

You just want a playoff appearance. Is that right?

[B]

Like, at this stage? I think so, yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't. I don't think, you know, with the injuries now, if Bosa and Fred Warner didn't get hurt, I think it's anyone's game. But you're not winning without Stills, too. But I agree with that. All right, well, hey, we got more Covino and Rich. And speaking of tonight, let's talk about our picks for tonight. World Series and Monday Night Football. Maybe a little fun parlay, sports, Equinox, everything. Equinox.

[A]

Yeah, Equinox.

[B]

Yeah. Look at that. Tell me all about that next right here. Kavino and Rich.

Expresspros.com thank. So remember, tomorrow already a Tuesday, so we're gonna have some tacos and more. More prizes. Showtime. Mahomes trivia showboy. Mahomes trivia tomorrow. Plus we react to Monday night foosball. And of course, World series game three, baby. So what says you, man?

[B]

I gotta. I got a parlay I think I want to roll with tonight. Can I. Can I hit you up with it right now?

[A]

Sure.

[B]

Since it is the sports equinox, I'm gonna go across sports platforms.

[A]

Ooh.

[B]

And I'm gonna go spurs, minus four.

[A]

And a half, by the way. NBA, man. The stars are out. I think stars are playing big.

[B]

I think watching Wemby so far. They're. They're at home right now. Danny G. And they're playing the Raptors.

[A]

I love sga, too. He's sort of leading this. I mean, they're defending champions. Right. But he's straight up saying the beginning of the season matters just as much, if not more, than the end of the season. And I think that lit a fire up. And all these young players. Asses. You see Zion playing big. John Morant has lots to prove. Wemby's dominating. Like, all these young dudes are stepping up, Even the old cats. Curry you were talking about.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

It's way more exciting than I expected.

[E]

It's in between, like, Austin Reeves.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

And of course, 50 points. Yeah.

[A]

It's way more exciting than we thought it would be early on. But they're playing big because they know could be that one game in the early start of the season that ruins them in the end. So it's great to see the Battle the competition. So you have the Spurs.

[B]

They're the Spurs. Hold on. I'm going to want to actually. I'm actually going to put this bed in. I got the spurs minus four and a half. They're playing the Raptors. The games in San Antonio. I like The Dodgers money line minus 190. Dodgers take a 21 lead at home tonight. Ooh, and I like the Commanders tonight. Not that they win the game, but they're getting a lot of points. They're getting ten and a half from the Chiefs Monday night game. Even if the Chiefs win, I don't know, there's a part of me that feels like that game stays close enough where 10 points, even if they lose by 10, they'll cover. So dare I say commanders plus 10 and a half, spurs minus four and a half and the Dodgers minus 1 9. Parlay that up. I'll let you know what the parlay totals in a second, so carry on.

[A]

All right, so that's Rich's pick for tonight. And then the question is, what are you watching? How you doing? Of course, you could watch one on your phone, one on your tablet and have your screen going, your big screen going.

[B]

It's a Monday night. I think you could switch back and forth.

[A]

The ratings, though.

[B]

Ratings?

[A]

No. That is interesting, man, because you got game three of the World Series. Two competitive teams, it's anyone's series right now. I do agree with Rich. Dodgers take one at home. But does the Chiefs Commanders beat them in ratings? Probably, but I think it's going to be close.

[E]

I mean, I have a dog in the fight, so obviously I'll have the Dodgers on the big screen. But I will have my iPad out for the NFL game.

[A]

The Game 3 World Series gets the big screen for me for sure. And you're right, I'll be looking at the Chiefs game on my phone. So what says you? What do you think while Rich tallies this up?

[B]

Oh, here we go. Let's do this. Let's do 50 bucks. 50 bucks pays out. 225 on that. 50 bucks to win.

[E]

You'll finally have Covino's money.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We do have to solve that this week. 50 pays out. 225. Lock that in. Spurs, Dodgers, commanders parlay. Yay. All right. Well, hey, what a fun Monday, huh?

[A]

It was a great Monday. Let's have a great week. And we're not quite done yet. We'll keep you posted on these rumors. I told you, there's a Pacquiao Mayweather rematch. Mayweather Pacquiao 2 is in talks for Netflix. And when you got that kind of money involved, how do you say no to it? That's the thing. That's why I think this will happen. There will be enough money generated to make that fight happen. Even though I don't know who you want to see it.

[B]

Me and Danny G were talking before about how so much of this chic money is just. It seems like they have endless funds. I saw what I thought. You never know it's AI anymore. But you said, Danny, you said you saw it on a legit site. Did you see what a proposed stadium, like a hundred stories in the air looks like?

[E]

Yeah. It's so crazy.

[A]

They're talking about super bowl there. One. They.

[B]

They're talking about all types of things. Yeah.

[E]

You've been talking about moving the San Diego holiday bowl game to Saudi.

[B]

There might be a bowl game there. So I don't know. It's like, I know you said you were talking to your buddy Ben Maller about it, but there does come a point where it's like, when do you say it? Money's not everything. We don't want to just start putting our Super Bowls and all events just because some Saudi guy has a ton of money. I feel like you have a problem with this, Sam.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I do. I mean, look no further than the history books and what that. What that. That country's been like culturally. That's fair enough.

[B]

It's money. Money.

[A]

They say not all money is good money.

[B]

Yeah. And, you know, we just saw a lot of comedians get a lot of flack. Is flack the word flack?

[A]

Slack.

[B]

Get a lot of flack?

[A]

They were not slack.

[B]

They. They had that big comedy festival and a lot of comedians were like, you. You think I'm gonna pass down millions of dollars? But there were fans and other comics that were saying, like, yeah, you're performing for, like, people that aren't great. Like, blood money. Blood. So it is interesting to see the fight game, possibly football, comedy. You gotta ask yourself, and this is for you, this is for you to answer on your own, not for me to tell you. But ask yourself, if they said, hey, I was. Sam, we want you to come produce some big thing. We're gonna pay a ton of money. What would you say?

[A]

I'd have to think on it.

[B]

See, exactly. I mean, because everyone's got a price. Ted Dibiase taught me that in the 80s, WWE, everybody's got a price. So it's very interesting world we live in now. Have a great night. Enjoy your sports. The Equinox. We'll see you back here tomorrow.

[A]

We'll be talking about that.

[B]

Leave it there, Chi baby.

[A]

See you in the promised land. Goodbye and have a good one.

[E]

Go Dodgers.
