6. The Age Paradox in Sports Fandom

[21:14–24:48]

[Sam]

Morning.

[Steve Covino]

So look forward to that. I'm Steve Covino at Steve Covino at Rich Davis at Covino and Rich. And we hope you had an old guy sort of night. When I say old guy, I feel like every old guy stepped up last night from Max Scherzer to Aaron Rodgers.

[Rich Davis]

Listen.

[Steve Covino]

And of course, Joey Flacco showing you that he deserves more respect than we give him.

[Rich Davis]

Listen, it was a great night for old guys.

[Steve Covino]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

And listen, I am a never old.

[Steve Covino]

Guys put on a show.

[Rich Davis]

I'm never. You should have saw me this morning. My wife and I were alone. Old guy week.

[Steve Covino]

Wow. See that? Inspiring. Even Rich put on a show.

[Rich Davis]

So I said it yesterday. And I'm never the I told you so guy. And then.

[Steve Covino]

Did you load the dishwasher?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. How dare you call her that? Danny, I'm never I told you so type of guy. And you'll back me up on that. But yesterday, did I not say Max Scherzer is going to be playing with a little extra gusto? You knew it. You knew you were never going to grab the ball out of that mad dog's hand.

[Steve Covino]

You saw it in his eye. But which one? The brown eye or the blue eye? You called that right. But you did not call the NFL game correctly.

[Rich Davis]

Oh God. I really thought Aaron Rodgers was going to get a four game lead in that division.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, he played good. But I'll tell you what, their defense, their defense might be ass based on.

[Rich Davis]

Last night and strength of schedule over the next month. Cincinnati, I don't want to be crazy harsh guy, but they saved their season last night. They really did. Because Joe Flacco could get in his own. That team could stay afloat until Burrow lumbers back in maybe towards the end of the season. If you don't believe necessarily in the Steelers and you're a Bengals fan, you should have some, honestly, some glimmers of hope because you know, the Ravens are done.

[Steve Covino]

They're one even more. And even Tomlin pointed it out at the end of the game like it never made sense to him as to why the Browns got rid of Flacco, because clearly the dude has game in just a few weeks. His timing was on. He and Higgins looking tight, making plays. He kept going to his guy. The formula was simple, but it worked. And the Steelers defense never made adjustments. However, Aaron Rodgers still looked good in that loss. So the Bengals over the Steelers 33, 31. And like we said, the Blue Jays, Max Scherzer, you know, really animated, yelling at the coach to get back into the dugout because he wanted to finish the fifth and get the W. Blue Jays get the win. Dodgers get the win. What a night. And what a night for old guys especially.

[Rich Davis]

We give props to T. Higgins for a second. T. Higgins had the wherewithal and football IQ to not score that touchdown. And that takes, honestly, that takes in the moment wherewithal, suntan lotion. Good for me.

[Steve Covino]

You protect me.

[Rich Davis]

Tee he Heyer, you agree that T. Higgins, a lot of guys, no matter how disciplined they are, somehow, you know, coast into the end zone there?

[Sam]

Oh yeah, absolutely. It was a magnificent play and I felt that there was some, some good recognition by him. And it also pales in comparison to what Amari D. Markado and I. Mitchell of like where their heads are in that certain spot. Like what a. What a comparison as well.

[Steve Covino]

Danny G. Hit me immediately. I said, wow, what a play. I hit you with. Wow. And Danny G. Hit us right back. High iq. Higgins seriously got out of the chair and like a round of applause. That clock up, put the pressure on him. It was dope. That Game, Dude. We went in there with low expectations for the most part. I didn't expect all that. I kind of had a low energy sort of vibe about me. Low energy, Jeb. Low energy, Steve. And then all of a sudden I'm there pacing around like, wow, this is insane.

[Rich Davis]

As if you're invested in the Bengals and flags.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, like, that's what I mean. There was intrigue because we got the two super bowl ex. Super bowl champions, old guys going at it. But I did not expect an exciting, electric game like that on a Thursday night from those teams. And it was great. So props again to the Bengals. I agree with you, Rich. It shows that they have signs of life. Until Burrow's ready. I think Flacco deserves more respect than we give him. He was even more pumped about it because he said he wasn't sure if he had ever beaten Aaron Rodgers before. I'm pretty sure he knew he didn't. And I bet that meant a lot to him. And he said a few weeks ago he would have never thought that he'd get an opportunity like that to play in a big game like that. So it meant even more. Can I.

[Rich Davis]

Do you mind what I. I think I must.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, boy.

[Rich Davis]

Schedule watch for a second because I. I feel like we got to look ahead for the next couple weeks.

[Steve Covino]

The Rich loves to look at the schedule.

[Rich Davis]

Game. Schedule watching. Yeah, schedule watching. If you don't believe how important that win was for the Bengals last night, they now sit at three and four. They have two games and a buy, and then they face the Steelers again. In these two games, they play the Jets. Can we say win?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Four and four. They play the Bears. That could be tough. I'll give them the loss. 4 and 5. 4 and 5. The Steelers are 4 and 2. They play the Packers, Colts, and Chargers the next three weeks. Fair to say? Possibly 1 and 2 DB.

[Sam]

I think that's fair. Rich, could you do me a favor? Could you do your. Rich Davis looks at the schedule when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens as well. Could you do that for me?

[Rich Davis]

I would love to. I love schedule watching.

[Sam]

Okay.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. The Rich loves to look at the schedule.

[Sam]

Game.

[Rich Davis]

Schedule watching.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Who doesn't love schedule watching? Now The Ravens are 1 and 5.

[Sam]

They're on a buy this week.

[Rich Davis]

They're on a buy.

[Sam]

Oh.

[Rich Davis]

Then they play the Bears, the Dolphins, the Vikings, the Browns, the jets, and the Bengals. So what you're insinuating is that they could also linger around.

[Sam]

They've got two games against the Steelers yet to go They've got two games against the Bengals. When you look, what's in their rearview.

[Rich Davis]

Mirror is the tough part.

[Sam]

Yes, yes.

[Rich Davis]

And you know what? It just proves. I have a question. Even for the Ravens benefit last night, having the Steelers not jump out to a four game lead over everyone else in the division kept this season more interesting.

[Steve Covino]

Yes, I apologize. Dickie Davis, Dickey Doodle Davis, Dan Byer, all the gurus out here. Here. Is it common knowledge when we talk power rankings and all the power rankings came out this week, we talked about how the Bucks and the Colts were tops and everyone's. Except for NFL and Fox had the Lions in second. Bucks at first. Do they factor in the schedule when it comes to that or simply where they're at right now? Because we kept saying where they're at right now. That's really what it is. They don't factor at all what's coming up. What's coming up.

[Sam]

They mean so little that there is no set criteria.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but I think that's so the power ranking.

[Sam]

Yes, I agree.

[Steve Covino]

I agree. That's really odd to me.

[Rich Davis]

Like when Tom Brady did his or USA Today or NFL Fox, it's really like, hey, who do you think is good right now? It's really it.

[Sam]

I saw somebody, I won't name their name, but they do a power ranking for a reputable site and they wrote, I don't believe that this team is the best team in the NFL, but I have to put them at number one.

[Steve Covino]

Really?

[Rich Davis]

Well, that's just silly, isn't it?

[Sam]

Yes, it is.

[Rich Davis]

Like it truly is.

[Steve Covino]

Every time we talk about that, I do wonder, I'm like, yeah, but they still have a tough schedule ahead and we're put. You know what I mean? Like you got to factor that in.

[Rich Davis]

If the teams that are on the top DB of Tom Brady, NFL and Fox, USA Today, the athletic, every site has their power rankings. Wouldn't they be the favorites in Vegas? And they're certainly not.

[Sam]

Yes. Correct. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So you're talking about the voting. The popular. The popular vote, essentially the. The sentiment in the public versus a power ranking is very different because if you really thought the Bucks and Colts are going to be in the super bowl, go to Vegas and I promise you that prop bet will pay out. I mean the odds are probably not, you know.

[Sam]

Absolutely.

[Steve Covino]

So it's still up. But I don't disagree with you. Rich. Where the Bengals show. Hope it's up for grabs, but Bengals looking good. Joey Flacco, really impressive. You know, I feel like he's One.

[Rich Davis]

Of those Bengals a lot. You have Susannah Hoff on the mind because she was hot back in the day.

[Steve Covino]

Don't you always have her on the mind? She still looks good now. So the Bengals, Sam had a new.

[Sam]

Sam had a different team name for him last night because of Joe Flacco.

[Ed Helms]

Right, Sam The Cincinnati Bengays.

[Sam]

Yes, Bengay.

[Steve Covino]

It's funny, you know, I feel like he's one of those guys that, that don't get the respect that I think he deserves. I feel like he's one of those guys like even Joey Flacco has a Super bowl win. It's like, hey, Joey Flaco has a pretty sweet career when you think about it.

[Rich Davis]

Been around. Dan Buyer painted the best picture maybe a month ago.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like the longer he sticks around, the more moments he adds up like this, that, that add to his legacy.

[Rich Davis]

Since I'm a Dan Beyer guy, I'll.

[Steve Covino]

Give him credit for like a month ago.

[Rich Davis]

Db, you did point out that we had put Joe Flacco at the pasture as like the third string quarterback on jets within the last five years or so. So the fact that he's emerged again as like a really reputable backup and a guy that could start for you, you know, he sort of come along maybe and matured as like, yo, just a wily veteran.

[Sam]

Yeah. I am amazed that we, I, I shouldn't speak for all of us, but completely forgot his Broncos tenure. Yeah, I don't even, I can't even tell you a play. I don't know what jersey number he wore. It would be a guess if I.

[Rich Davis]

There was a time where it was like Zach Wilson got hurt. I put in Mike Wilson, put in this guy, put in whoever. And oh yeah, we got Flacco. He's like the 8th street quarterback.

[Sam]

And then even with what he did with the Browns or didn't do with the Browns early this year, you're like, okay, Father, time catches up with you. Now you get a couple of receivers that are worth a darn and T. Higgins and Jamar Chase, the best in the game and even with an offensive line that is questionable, which by the way, I think the Steelers short week helped Cincinnati in that regard. There was the stat put up that TJ Watt wasn't getting the pressure and then right afterwards he got a sack on Joe Flacco. But I think that helped Cincinnati a lot. But yeah, look at what, look at what the old guy that can throw the pill can do when you get him some weapons around him. And even the same thing For Aaron Rodgers. And while it may not have been all about DK Metcalf, last night, Friarmouth had the huge game. And, yeah, you put these gunslingers, if you will, at the early 40s, put some weapons around them, and they can still get it done.

[Steve Covino]

Flacco, 342 yards, three tutties. But on the flip side of that, too, Aaron Rodgers, so fun to see him. Danny G. Pointed out, just from a visual standpoint, he did look a little old last night. And that's fine because he proved that he still had a kid.

[Rich Davis]

My dad hit me up on the ride to Fox. We always do a little catch up. You call your parents when you're driving, too?

[Steve Covino]

All the time.

[Rich Davis]

It's the best time to call your parents. Hey, I got 20 minutes to kill. Yo, dad, what's up? And my dad's like, aw, Richie, I hate to be judgmental, but Aaron Rodgers looks old as hell.

[Steve Covino]

Looks meaning physically. We're not saying he was hobbling around looking slow.

[Rich Davis]

Look, my dad said he looked angry and old.

[Steve Covino]

Yes. And he had some decent reasons to be angry. We're going to get to that when we talk Broderick Jones in a few minutes. But when he threw that Hail Mary again, another reminder that this dude still got it. It was nice to see. Good night for the old guy.

[Sam]

Flick of the wrist, almost 70 yards.

[Steve Covino]

That was dope.

[Rich Davis]

When. When he rolled left and literally took one step up into the pocket, you're like, no. Oh, my God. That ball's going to the end zone, dude.

[Steve Covino]

And he threw for four touchdowns in the loss. Two picks, you know, one wasn't that bad. But Aaron Rodgers, he also had a pretty good night. Their defense was ass. That's the truth. They made no adjustments. And Joey Flacco went away looking like the man. So a really, really fun night where I had low expectations. Hope you guys enjoyed that. Plus, we had great baseball. It was almost too much last night. It was oversaturated with things to watch.

[Rich Davis]

DK Metcalf could have caught a touchdown. Oh, yeah, that would have helped my guillotine league. An observation for a guy not like you, Kavino. More for a Dan Buyer type. Or me. Guys that love uniforms in that game.

[Steve Covino]

Mm.

[Rich Davis]

I always feel like Flocko wears five or 15. Seeing him wear number 16 was also, like, visually weird.

[Steve Covino]

Like, he has five kids. Number 16, maybe for all. For all of his children. Not two, not three, not four. But I'm telling you, the more he sticks around, the more likable I find him to be. And the More his career makes sense to me. We mentioned on Over Promised, our bonus podcast on YouTube how he did want to stick around simply for his five kids so they could see what his dad did and so they could enjoy a little bit of his career. And when you hear about him being the ultimate competitor and that's also why he sticks around, I have nothing but respect for that because there's so many people that want to tell you when to retire and tell you what to do. But the fact that he still believes that he could do it and we all saw it last night, that's what makes all the difference. I love that competitive spirit and all those guys, man, both dudes did a great job last night.

[Sam]

He actually wears 16 with Cincinnati because that was his record with the Browns with preseason and regular season. The 1 in 6 figure pay tribute.

[Rich Davis]

To his former team.

[Steve Covino]

Hilarious.

[Sam]

Good reminder.

[Steve Covino]

So the Bengals over the Steelers. Any other takeaways, let us know. Hi, I.Q. higgins. We talked about that. But the other story, too. Your dad is right, Rich. Aaron Rodgers was in a different sort of zone. Maybe he didn't want to lose to Flacco. He didn't want to lose that game regardless. But, you know, I'm sure there's some rivalry there. Like, I don't want to lose this game because we did put them head to head. The two old guys were going at it, and then you see him celebrating a touchdown and Broderick Jones, like, in celebration, tackles him. That was the weirdest thing because I find that to be so, like, hey, let's bring this tape up again. Like in the tape room. They got to be like, don't ever do this, because if you're the guy that hurts our quarterback over something stupid like this, you should be fired. I think that's ridiculous how he tackled his own player in that celebration.

[Rich Davis]

You know, his. His stats. Let's. Let's pull up Dan Patrick, height and weight.

[Steve Covino]

Broderick Jones, I bet you he's like 363 or something like that. 333.

[Rich Davis]

653. 11.

[Steve Covino]

There you go. I mean, as. And you're not looking. So you're more prone to injury when you're not looking. Like, when do people get knocked out? When they don't see it coming, right? That's when you get hurt. When you don't see it coming. When you see it coming, you could prepare. You're okay. You'll roll with the. The punch, you'll roll with the hit. Rodgers didn't see that happening, and that was awkward. If you don't know what we're talking about. Aaron Rodgers running back to the sideline, celebrating and his own teammate, Broderick Jones, a big giant tackle for the Steelers, tackles him. It was the weirdest thing. Did he like, did he lose like.

[Rich Davis]

Did he lose like a brain cell in the moment?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, like, did he lose focus?

[Rich Davis]

Excitement. Excitement, man.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but that's excuse to potentially hurt your 40 year old quarterback.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I thought it was a great night for old guys like you said. Aaron Rodgers, yo, by the way, Flacco.

[Steve Covino]

You see how pissed Aaron Rodgers was in that moment.

[Rich Davis]

I would be too.

[Steve Covino]

He came back and like swinging and pushing at Rodriguez like, yo, what the hell? He wanted a box that was kind of wild. And I don't blame him, man. I don't blame him.

[Sam]

Rough housing.

[Rich Davis]

Knock it off the rough housing. And of course, funny games till you.

[Steve Covino]

Hurt your own quarterback.

[Rich Davis]

As we pointed out, that game. So key to the future of the AFC north because had the Steelers won, I get it. They have tough games ahead and we're, we're not even halfway through the season. But having a four game lead on everyone in your division gives you complete leeway to get cold for a couple weeks. And you're still ahead of the pack, but right now you got two losses. That's a, that's a, that's way different. I know it doesn't feel like it, but that's way different. So we'll see what the next few weeks look like.

[Steve Covino]

You know what's crazy too, on a personal note, total personal note, on our bonus podcast, over promised, we talked about, in tribute to this game, we talked about the worst things about your 40s. But like, on a fun level, we're not talking about like, you know, your grandparents are dead.

[Rich Davis]

People's parents start getting older and sick.

[Steve Covino]

You know, start getting colonoscopies. We didn't talk that kind of stuff. We talked like the random observations. It's kind of weird to notice that. I don't know, there's something about professional sports where I still feel they're older than me. Maybe that's just my own immaturity. I feel you. Oh, you do feel that. Because, like I'm older than Aaron Rodgers, Max Jerzer, Joey Flacco, but I feel like they're still. Maybe because I look at them. Because they're large, they're larger than Lionel.

[Rich Davis]

Well, they're physically big.

[Steve Covino]

So you're like, oh, cousin. I still feel like a little boy watching my year, looking up at them. Yeah, them in particular.

[Rich Davis]

There's something so true about what you're saying.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like Rogers is older than me. I do. I feel like Flacco's older than me. I feel like Scherzer's older than me.

[Rich Davis]

Tom Brady was the last guy for me where I was like, he's actually older than me. And I could be like Tom Brady, like, all the 40. I love you. You know, if you're no longer 40, if you're in your mid-40s, all these guys, there's no one older than you.

[Steve Covino]

Here's why it's confusing.

[Rich Davis]

100% of the people you're rooting for are younger.

[Steve Covino]

I think it's confusing to some people around our age because they seem so old in a young man's game. So they're supposed to be so old. So you think, man, they're so old. And then you're like, I'm not older than them, but I am. It's the weirdest thing to wrap your head around.

[Rich Davis]

Great example. Could we get a quick age check on Kirk Cousins?

[Steve Covino]

Cousins is like 36. 37. Yeah, let me look it up.

[Rich Davis]

37. If you are in your mid-40s, you look at Kirk Cousins like he's your age or older. I look at Kirk Cousins like, man, he's a wily veteran. Kirk Cousins was born. Kirk Cousins was born in the mid-80s.

[Steve Covino]

He turned 37 on August 19, 1988. So just recently, you know, it's really wild this Kirk Cousins. I'm glad you guys could agree with me on that.

[Rich Davis]

Put in that perspective. Kirk Cousins, who feels like a. Like I said, a wily veteran to you, that who knows if he'll really get an opportunity again, was born the year the Dodgers and Kirk Gibson won the World Series. The year Joe Montana.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Was throwing the ball to Jerry Rice.

[Steve Covino]

You were already in Little League.

[Rich Davis]

He hit John Taylor in the back of the end zone to beat the Bengals. That's when Kirk Cousins was in diapers. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

It's a weird reality check because a lot of us still feel really young and we are in life. Young men in life, old guy on the field. But when you see these guys looking that old on the field with all these young guys, you're like, wait, but I'm older than all of them. It's a really weird coming of age thing that you have a hard time wrapping your head around.

[Sam]

The one that messed me up was Russell Wilson. Because I still look at Russell Wilson as young Russell Wilson.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Sam]

And he's going to be 37 in November. Like, that was the one that Messed me up.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you know, I think the coming of age with this whole conversation, there's a few indicators. When you were a kid, you may not have realized that all the coaches were former players. You just thought, oh, they're coaches.

[Steve Covino]

You just thought they were old guys.

[Rich Davis]

As a Mets fan, I remember when my parents like, you know, Davey Johnson used to be like a home run hitter for the Orioles. I'm like, like, no, he's an old coach. That's impossible. He played. And then you realize you looked around the league and you're like, wait, all these old ass coaches used to play? And now our kids probably think that same thing when they see every Craig Counsel. All these guys that are coaching, like, no, no, I, those are the guys I would do their wiffle ball stance. Exactly.

[Steve Covino]

Yep. So it's a, it's a weird sort of thing to wrap your head around.

[Rich Davis]

You watch Ken Griffey Jr. Go from a backwards hat to a beer gut and a, and a turtleneck.

[Steve Covino]

If a few guys here in our Fox Sports Radio studio feel that way, I'm sure a lot of people listening also experience. What's up, Sam? You know, you tend to shrink as you get older, like physically in your height. So when Joe flacco goes from 66 to 5 6, I'll finally be like, man, he's old. He's like a shrunken old man, shriveled away.

[Rich Davis]

You know, feel that way about all these great announcers. Now we talked the other day about how a rod and Jeets and big Poppy. In my mind, oh, they play like a year ago. No, these guys are like been retired. They've, they've, they've been out of the game.

[Steve Covino]

All right, so any other observations about the old man bowl last night? Put on a show. We'll take your phone calls. And remember, we still got brain wave. We gotta talk baseball. Christian Yelich. We have lots to get to, so stick around. We got more. Covino and Rich on FOX Sports Radio. Live from FOX Sports Radio studios.

[Sam]

Christmas song.

[Rich Davis]

Are you playing Santa Claus songs?

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Steve Covino]

I didn't know. Okay.

[Sam]

This is a Garth Brooks song called.

[Steve Covino]

The Old Man's Back in Town, and I didn't listen to it very long. It's a Christmas song.

[Sam]

I just thought it was a song.

[Steve Covino]

About the old man being back in town.

[Rich Davis]

You're talking about Flacko and Rogers, Old man.

[Sam]

Oh, my God.

[Steve Covino]

Yes, old man. Look at my life. I am a lot like you were. I got duped by this.

[Sam]

Flacco does rock the Santa beard a lot.

[Steve Covino]

That's funny as hell, Sam. And I'm like old guys.

[Rich Davis]

I'm really against, like, Christmas stuff popping.

[Steve Covino]

Up in October, so I'm a huge queen. I know. Spooky season. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Damn. It's like Home Depot, the random store. And I was saying, I'm already jumping the gun on Christmas.

[Steve Covino]

All right, let's bring it back to Halloween. Sam. What do you call an Italian ghost? Oh, what do you call an Italian ghost?

[Rich Davis]

Ooh, is that what it is?

[Steve Covino]

No, I'm asking you. Oh, I don't know. Come on, think about.

[Sam]

So cheesy.

[Steve Covino]

I know.

[Rich Davis]

Think about it.

[Steve Covino]

Come on, come on, come on.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I knew it was a GABA cool thing.

[Steve Covino]

Come on, it is Halloween time. I'm not jumping the gun. I really. I was just trying to go with the theme of the show. What's the name of it again? The Old Man's Back in Town by Garth Brooks.

[Rich Davis]

I'll put that on my holiday list. Yeah, speaking of Halloween, though, what's the. What is that song from that you hear at every one of your kids school events where it's like skeletons everywhere.

[Steve Covino]

That'S been sweeping the nation for the past like almost 10 years probably. It's been our Halloween jingle forever. I don't know where it came from though. But anyway, enjoy your weekend of spirit Halloween and maybe decorating. Last minute decorating and of course postseason ghost season. And speaking of the old guys, they put on a show last night. From Max Scherzer to Joey Flacco, it gave a lot of people out there hope that it's not over. And another reminder, we talk about things that happen in your 40s on over promise. That's on our YouTube page. Definitely worth checking out. Covino Enrich FSR we're streaming live now on YouTube but that's where our bonus podcast is. You could watch it it over promised episode 113. Rich also gives his picks there and you got more picks today and weekend hobnobbing. Lots to get to.

[Rich Davis]

I'll be honest, I missed last night. I. I couldn't believe that the Bengals and Flacco did it. Good for them. Like I said, it's good for football. So good football fall maybe not for your pocket.

[Steve Covino]

CNR on fsr Live from the Fox Sports radio studio again, Dodgers and Blue Jays.

[Sam]

Oh.

[Steve Covino]

There you go.

[Sam]

Sam wanted to get us back on track.

[Steve Covino]

Redeem yourself.

[Sam]

It's Andrew Gold.

[Steve Covino]

This is Halloween. Gold, man. Never heard of them. Honestly, this song is everywhere. Especially if you have little rugrats at home.

[Rich Davis]

Now if you watch some baseball, my goodness. Mariners, Blue Jays living up to the hype. And like we said yesterday, now here we are. Now it's the best of 3, 2, 2 all four games won by the team on the ro ahead and on the other side of things, the Dodgers just continue to make you think, well, can anyone really beat them? Are the Blue Jays and Mariners just playing for runner up? I hope it's more of a series than that, but unless you get to the Dodgers bullpen, it looks like the Dodgers are going to be cruising.

[Steve Covino]

I think the Blue Jays and the Mariners more so the Blue Jays in my opinion because I know what they're capable of, are able to compete against the Dodgers. The Dodgers still superior but I think they're able to compete. Man. There's, there's some good squads in the postseason but a lot of people are starting to pile up on Christian Yellich for under delivering batting a whopping. I think. 200 after last night he got a hit. 200. I saw a lot of memes saying he looks like what's his name? Pete Davidson out there. Pete, Pete Davidson in the uniform. He's more like Pete Davidson than he is Christian Yellich. I feel bad saying that. I think Some people are easier to poke at. I really do. Because Christian Yellich is such a good dude. We've interviewed him. Such a nice guy, you know, such a great player for that organization for so many years. You don't want to dump on him, but you have to acknowledge that he hasn't stepped up. He hasn't been that guy, and they need that. Or you could just credit the Dodgers pitching and how they worked against them.

[Rich Davis]

So, again, a lot of times in sports, in work, in life, in business, a lot of times, we always look for someone to blame. And instead of blaming someone, maybe the answer. I'm not trying to be all. I'm not trying to be a right.

[Steve Covino]

Because they had a great game plan against guys like him. We can't let yellow beat us.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not trying to be a righteous dude. But sometimes the answer isn't someone stunk. The answer just might be someone else is really good. Because right now, you've held the brewers to one run a game for the first three games. Now, you could say all the brewers think. Or you could say the Dodgers game plan all along was, let's have the best starting pitching. They got Blake Snell. They outbid everyone for Yamamoto and Goslin came through.

[Steve Covino]

Great approach. You got to give them credit as well. And another observation is kind of ties back to what I was saying about Joey Flacco. Call him Joey now because he looked young and vibrant last night. He's from Jersey, by the way. You can hear it in his voice. He sounds kind of like a Philadelphian. It's kind of like, hey, I'm gonna wash my socks.

[Rich Davis]

Did I say Gonson Glass now? I was like, they've had so many key pictures over the years. I keep forgetting.

[Steve Covino]

Nice save, Rich. I feel like, thanks, buddy. Flaco should get more credit. Even though he gets credit, dude won a Super Bowl. We know he's good, but I feel like he's earning a little more respect the more he shows his veteran leadership and what he's capable of. We saw that last night on display in a big game. I feel the same way about another guy who gets all the respect in the world, but I still don't think he gets enough. Do we embrace Mookie Betts enough? This guy, I heard Jeter singing his praises about, like, Shohei Ohtani, how he's a two way player, but Mookie Betts plays all over the place, but he does it at a high level. He's such a likable dude. Like, if your kid loves Mookie Betts, Aren't you, like, spanked about that?

[Rich Davis]

My kids favorite Dodger. I hate to say it. As a Mets fan, I'm like, hey, buddy Lindor, right?

[Steve Covino]

His name is Mookie, so kids are gonna love that, right?

[Rich Davis]

My son's like, dad, all right, I'm gonna be Mookie. And he holds a bat.

[Steve Covino]

I'm like, so the game, dude, he's such a well rounded player in every aspect of the game at every position. He's not just a baseball player. He's great at every sport. We've seen, like, what he's capable of.

[Rich Davis]

And does he do. Does he do the most exaggerated celebration on second base?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, definitely.

[Rich Davis]

More than any other Dodger, he. He puts a little extra. He's like.

[Steve Covino]

He looks like he's having fun. He's like. He's a guy that you really can't say anything bad about.

[Sam]

No. Nice Tennessee kid. And the story about how he came.

[Steve Covino]

Up and coaches didn't want him because.

[Sam]

He was too small, so his mom started her own team.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, that's what makes it even cooler. Yeah, he's sort of an unassuming looking dude. Wait, so he was like the real big.

[Rich Davis]

He was like the real life little giants.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he's not a big dude.

[Rich Davis]

They made it. Made their own team just. Just so they could play.

[Steve Covino]

Plays larger than life.

[Rich Davis]

Wow.

[Steve Covino]

Mookie Betts made a play, and it looked really familiar. And if you missed it, take a listen.

[Rich Davis]

Take us through. You've done this a million times.

[Steve Covino]

I have, you know, movie. Bounced it. I mean, you got to try to.

[Rich Davis]

Get it there on the air. I'll give it to him. I'll give it to him.

[Steve Covino]

No, we talked about this. People don't realize.

[Rich Davis]

They don't realize. Happy time.

[Steve Covino]

That's way, way, way, way late in my career. Guys, can we go back up?

[Sam]

I got the Younger1.

[Steve Covino]

I'm 45 at that point.

[Sam]

Yeah, you got it done.

[Steve Covino]

But I tell you, the thing is, what people don't realize because of all the stars that the Dodgers have, what.

[Rich Davis]

Mookie Betts is doing.

[Steve Covino]

Second base, right field, shortstop. Flip again. Go back.

[Rich Davis]

It's not that easy.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, I know we give Ohtani a lot of credit because he's hit dhing and he's pitching. That's not easy to move around the diamond like that. That's Derek Jeter commenting on the jump throw, the patented jump throw that he made famous. We saw Mookie Betts do it, but he bounced it. So Jeter was giving him a little flack, but it was still an amazing play but very reminiscent of what we saw with Derek Jeter. So now I want you to start thinking Fox Sports Radio Nation about other patented plays and who owns them and who owns them, okay? Because that jump throw is Jeters. So kind of an honor to see Mookie Betts doing it it in a big game yesterday. Think of more. We'll go over them, but let's go to Dan Beyer now with an update.

[Sam]

Guys. Jason Mariners on Fox Sports 1 just after the top of the hour. It's a game five series tied up at two apiece. The brewers and Dodgers do play in LA tonight, 8:30 Eastern with the Dodgers going for the sweep with Shohei Ohtani leading off in also the team starting pitcher. He goes up against the brewers. Jose Quintana. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy out against Atlanta on Sunday night. So Mac Jones gets the start. No Ricky Pierce all as well for San Francisco. Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz is going to start Sunday against the Eagles. J.J. mcCarthy will be the emergency quarterback as he's still trying to return from that high ankle sprain. Cardinals quarterback Kyla Murray going to be questionable to face the packers while wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. For Arizona has cleared concussion protocol and will play against Green Bay in Week seven. No Puka Nakua for the Rams ruled out against the Jaguars in London. Terry McLaurin is going to miss another game for the Commanders as the wide receiver won't play against Dallas. Dallas will have CD Lamb but won't have corner Trayvon Diggs who concussion protocol following an incident at his home on Thursday. Raiders tend Brock Bowers doubtful to face the Chiefs on Sunday while the Browns ruled out David and Joku for their clash with the Miami Dolphins. Chargers wide receiver Quinton Johnston back to play the Colts and Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will return to action. He missed a couple of games with a calf injury. They have the jets on Sunday. Garrett Wilson doubtful for New York because of a knee injury. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

Yo, D.B. i was, I mean maybe not that surprised. I just checked the line really hasn't moved much. Mac Jones, Brock Purdy, I guess under Kyle Shanahan and the fact that Mac has held his own that Vegas isn't really thinking it's much of a downgrade, which is interesting, right? Brock Purdy to Mac Jones is. It's sort of a push in the eyes of gamblers.

[Sam]

It'd be interesting to see if there wasn't Mac Jones, but you'd also have to think of all the, you know, the bosa, the Warner injury and how that would have changed the numbers if those guys were there.

[Rich Davis]

True. All right, thank you, D.B.

[Steve Covino]

Thanks, Dan.

[Rich Davis]

We're going to go over those patented plays you spoke of a la Jeter. I'm already thinking of other ones. We'll get to that. Plus we'll give away some prizes. Brain Waves, a new game we got here on Fox Sports Radio, Weekend Hobnobbin, and a bunch more right here on fsr.

Old guys put on a show.

[Rich Davis]

You ain't kidding.

[Steve Covino]

And. And we enjoyed it.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I know we're going to talk about patented plays, but you know what I was just thinking about? We're. We'll go over it later, next hour. But there's some games this week that can really tighten up divisions when you thought the division wasn't that way. If that makes sense. Like if. If Jackson Dart and Scatter Boo, your new knucklehead duo, if they somehow find a way to go to Denver and come out on top against the Broncos who say the Vikings can't beat the struggling Eagles. Now all of a sudden, it's a one game difference of everyone in the NFC East. Like it's. No division is locked. The fact that we were talking before with Dan Byer about how the AFC north, we thought, well, the Steelers might have it locked. No, not even. No one has anything.

[Steve Covino]

That's a question itself. Do the Giants go back to life, back to reality. Giants continue with that momentum this week. We'll see.

[Rich Davis]

That's gonna be a good one. See, that's a game that I didn't care about. And now I do.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's go to your phone calls, your feedback. You said that Mookie Betts executed the old Derek Jeter, the in the hall.

[Steve Covino]

Jump throw to first, the jump throw. And everybody knows it. It's kind of like was his signature move. Yeah, I was going to say if you saw the silhouette, you would know that was Jeter's move. That's Jeter's patented thing. He would go deep in the hole, do the jump throw, and he says you don't bounce it. But Mookie bounced it. He actually commented on it after the game. If you heard it, take a listen, take us through. You've done this a million times. I have. You know, Mookie bounced it. I mean, you got to try to.

[Rich Davis]

Get it there in the air. I'll give it to him. I'll give it to him. No, you'll give it to Him. Jeeps.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I mean, it's a compliment.

[Rich Davis]

It's a tough play. It's a tough play. Mookie's an athlete. But when you see it, even though Mookie Betts executed it fantastically, it's Jeter's jump throw the same way. You know, we could go to your phone calls. I don't want to take the answer, but I'm going to. When you think like a hook in basketball, Skyhook.

[Ed Helms]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, that's the number one.

[Steve Covino]

So I think of me at the playground, bro, I was hitting it New York.

[Rich Davis]

I think of Camino and Kareem.

[Steve Covino]

Well, we.

[Sam]

We purposely did not search this online because we wanted to see how many we could come up with on our own first. But Skyhook's got to be number one if we went to some lists.

[Steve Covino]

But, you know, I joke me, you know, it's like every old white guy move, too. Like, it's. You know, when you see, like, the older guy playground or something.

[Rich Davis]

You know, it's funny.

[Steve Covino]

Like, the dad showed up to the playground like, hey, guys. Yeah, he's definitely trying one of those.

[Sam]

My uncle used to do that all the time. He's like, hook shot from the free throw line.

[Steve Covino]

But it makes sense because they grew up watching Korean.

[Rich Davis]

Then I'll give you another old guy playground basketball one that I'll give a shout out to Mad Dog Russo as well, because he always lives to bring up Bob Koozie, the underhand free throw shot. Everyone that does that at the playground gives a old school Bob Koozie a shout out.

[Steve Covino]

Speaking of basketball, I think we got a theme here with basketball right now.

[Sam]

Yeah, a lot of signature moves in basketball.

[Steve Covino]

Step back is, you know, James Harden. I mean, that's his patented cheating move. I still don't know if that's a legal move, but, you know, the Euro step was menu. Yep. The Euro step.

[Rich Davis]

The Jordan, not. You could name a million, I'm sure, for Michael Jordan. But I always thought when you play Horse Horse, you couldn't slam it. But if you were doing the fake layup and then you come back under with the other hand, that would be like the horse move of the 90s when you're playing horse at the playground.

[Sam]

One from the last 15 years. How about LeBron's chase down blocks?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, that's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

Of course. So the phones are lit. We're gonna take all your feedback. Next we're gonna play a game. We got a lot of fun coming up next hour. But if you can think of some of those patented moves in boxing Might be debatable. I'm thinking that shoulder roll for Mayweather. Anytime a defensive fighter does that, like shoulder roll, my guy's doing a Mayweather.

[Steve Covino]

Definitely a Mayweather. Either.

[Rich Davis]

So all those patented moves, we'll go over them all next if you want to chime in. 87799 on Fox.

[Steve Covino]

[Rich Davis]
