Steve Covino (2:23)

The Ravens being booed, right? But hope you had a Texans, Saints, Broncos, Buccaneers, Pat sort of weekend, not an Arizona Cardinals, New York Yankees sort of weekend. And I could throw some Mark Sanchez time. I was going to try to avoid that.

Rich Davis (2:38)

I feel bad, but I don't. But I do.

Steve Covino (2:40)

What a story that was over the weekend. A big, you know, what's a bigger story? Taylor Swift's new album or that Mark Sanchez story?

Rich Davis (2:46)

The Mark Sanchez story. You know, it's all sensitive and terrible. Like, no one. There was a stabbing. Lives are almost lost. The pictures of the other guy are gruesome. Danny, you and I were saying. It's just. It was a range of emotions at first. It's like, oh, my God. You thought someone probably just f with Mark Sanchez because maybe he was wearing a nice watch or he's a celebrity. And then you're like, oh, my God, I hope he lives. Oh, my God. Thank God it went from prayers for Mark Sanchez, which people still have to.

Steve Covino (3:13)

Finding out he was the aggressive.

Rich Davis (3:14)

Wait a minute. He was the guy. What?

Steve Covino (3:16)

Exactly. Yeah. Very weird developments. There's videos coming out as we speak. Terrible, terrible story. We'll touch on that a little bit, but not too much. Plus, we'll play some games called last one standing. We do it every Monday. We give away prizes. LeBron's in the news.

Rich Davis (3:31)

And by the way, we won't touch on it because we choose not to. I have people hit me up being like, you guys work for Fox Sports. Did they tell you not to talk about it? No one tells us. Honestly, no one has ever told us. Don't talk about blank. Well, it's just using your own head. Like, we don't know all the details. Mark Sanchez has always been nice to us. Who knows what the real false story is? So what the hell are you going to do?

Steve Covino (3:50)

It makes me go, hmm, for sure. No doubt. And that's where we start the show. But again, hope you had a great weekend. Spooky season is here. I'm busting out jeans for the first time of the season. So it's that time of year, guys, out here in California. Oh, hope you had a nice one. Hope you have a great fall. Like Humpty Dumpty.

Rich Davis (4:11)

Humpty Dumpty always has a great fall.

Steve Covino (4:13)

Hey, Sam, are you investing this fall? Are you going to rock a vest like Marty McFly? Because that's the look I absolutely will.

Rich Davis (4:18)

But didn't Humpty Dumpty fall and crack his eggshell?

Steve Covino (4:21)

No, dude, he walked around the foliage. He got a pumpkin spice latte. He went apple picking. He had a hell of a fall. He had great fall.

Rich Davis (4:28)

Vision is history here. Yeah, I mean, the Humpty Dumpty, great fall.

Steve Covino (4:31)

Yeah.

Rich Davis (4:31)

Max Freed. Not A great fall. Not so much. Sorry, Kavino.

Steve Covino (4:36)

I know Aaron Judge. Debatable. I don't know. He's got to come up in the big. But in the world of foosball, lots of surprises. And it doesn't have to be just football. It could be UFC 320. It could be the smashing machine at the box office. It only made 6 million this weekend, so whatever made you go.

Rich Davis (4:55)

Meanwhile, $33 million worth of people watching Taylor Swift discuss her album. So that's where we're at. But I do want to start with your Yankees real quick before we dive into all the football.

Steve Covino (5:05)

Yeah.

Rich Davis (5:06)

When a guy like Max Freed, who's been arguably a top three pitcher in baseball all year, 19 wins, he's in that conversation. When you say who dominated, you know, school and skeens and freed those to me, Zach Wheeler got hurt.

Steve Covino (5:22)

Crochet.

Rich Davis (5:23)

Crochet. It's really unfortunate when your team makes the postseason and the guy that really put the team on his back, anytime you needed a guy to stop the losing, stop the bleeding, as they say.

Steve Covino (5:36)

I think he was 11 and one after a Yankees loss. So if ever there was 11.

Rich Davis (5:41)

11 and two.

Steve Covino (5:41)

Yeah. Now 11 and two. If you kept the postseason, if there was ever a time to stop the bleeding or get the win, it was the Game two yesterday. And what's disheartening about that, and any sports fan could relate, is you wait all year for these moments only to watch your team fizzle like that. It's the worst. So must win tomorrow, basically. If you don't know we're talking about the Yankees got slid on yesterday. Little tast their own medicine. A rookie for the Blue Jays came out, shut them down and shut it down now. The Blue Jays just teeing off on Max Freed.

Rich Davis (6:11)

So you have to admit, if you were not a Yankees fan, by the.

Danny G (6:14)

Way, that's a player's name, to be clear.

Steve Covino (6:16)

Yeah. Is the Yankees saving grace, the rookie star that came through? Well, guess what, Blue Jays? Was it your savage? Yes, of it. He was savage yesterday against the Yankees came through and dominated with 11 strikeouts of his own. So Yankees got shut down. They look like ass. They might be ass. And it was not fun to watch.

Rich Davis (6:39)

One last Yankee thought.

Steve Covino (6:40)

Unless you're a Blue Jays fan.

Rich Davis (6:41)

One last Yankee thought before we get into football. More people's heads in the football game right now. But if you aren't a Yankees fan, could you at least admit how electric that crowd in Toronto looked when Vladdy Jr hit that grand salami?

Steve Covino (6:56)

It was the most predictable grand salami that ever was.

Rich Davis (6:59)

Meaning like, you're like, they're going to groove him one.

Steve Covino (7:01)

Warren had no choice but to groove one down there. Vladdy sitting there, tees off on it. And it was just so obvious. In fact, there's a funny viral clip of John Boy totally predicting it. And I felt the same way watching it. I'm like, here it is. This is a grand slam coming. Grooves, one, bam. Game over. Sucked Will Warren. He's cheeks, he's straight buns. As the kids say, in these moments, again, you got to step up. So a weak weekend for this guy, especially since I was driving my daughter around like her personal chauffeur trying to find sweet 16 dresses. So, yeah, that was my week. No, no, that's a good dad. You are the other sports stuff special, but at the same time, I do want to just sit back and relax a little bit. But hope your weekend was good. Hope it was better than the Yankees. Hope it was better than Will Warren's and Max Freed's and hey, national games.

Rich Davis (7:53)

Tonight, National League fans, tonight, your night. Danny G, you're going to go up.

Danny G (7:56)

20 in Philadelphia in just about an hour.

Rich Davis (7:58)

First pitch and then, of course, see, Kavito named this morning. We were talking, he's like, he named all three series and he forgot Milwaukee versus the Cubs. And he goes, now no one cares.

Steve Covino (8:08)

No, it's not. It's not that. I was just speaking from the heart. Meaning the pot. Yeah. I was thinking that the Dodgers Philly series was the more exciting one to talk about.

DB (8:15)

Good save. We'd just insult everybody else. Just. Yeah, that was.

Steve Covino (8:20)

Well, Cubs, you know, that's an exciting one, too. So we'll enjoy some games tonight and some Monday Night Football. But like we always do on the.

Rich Davis (8:29)

Monday, Kavino wants to ignore the sixth spot the brewers put up in the first inning the other day in Game 1. He Just think, you know.

DB (8:34)

Yeah, don't worry. I remember it was like two years ago when the Rams beat the Seahawks in week one. And Covino came in, he's like, I hope you had a $40 Raiders Rams weekend. John Ramos is whooping it up. And I'm like, screw you, Kavino.

Steve Covino (8:46)

You know, I remember that now that.

Rich Davis (8:49)

You bring it up, he takes notes.

Steve Covino (8:50)

He holds on to these things, man, like Jericho. Yeah, he does.

Rich Davis (8:54)

They always say that. A buyer never forgets, right? That is true, Spot.

Steve Covino (8:56)

You're right. So funny.

Rich Davis (8:57)

I heard that.

Steve Covino (8:58)

So, you know, I hope your weekend was better than the Yankees weekend. I hope your weekend was better than Mark Sanchez's weekend.

Rich Davis (9:04)

And how about better than Amari D. Markado. Why does this happen multiple times a year? We talk about it every year. So I don't want to repeat something we said maybe six months a year, two years ago, three years ago, every freaking year.

Steve Covino (9:21)

This is the second time this year, right?

Rich Davis (9:24)

There's got to be an explanation. My explanation. I remember we even posted a video about this on our Instagram page, like a year ago. Because it's happened and my take hasn't changed. When a guy goes for a pick six or bust open a big run or catches a slant and he's going to the house, when the guy drops the ball at like the half yard line and the play is null and void and he ruined the whole moment. It's simply one thing and one thing only. Showboating. There's no other explanation other than, yo, I burnt you, I beat you. And like, in the most arrogant, douchey way, you're just like, I'm so apathetic as I cross the goal line, I'm just gonna drop the ball. Like there's.

Steve Covino (10:06)

It's the biggest bumble fumble of the weekend.

Rich Davis (10:09)

Other explanation, like in other sports, right? What do we say in baseball when a guy doesn't run out a ground ball and then the guy bobbles it and he would have been safe if he had busted it out of the box? Or, you know, when a guy doesn't get back on defense in the NBA.

Steve Covino (10:23)

And you're like, he's just hot dogging it. And they got caught. It was the weakest. You know what? It was one of the things that made me go, hmm, this weekend, let's get into it. Because I think it's the worst things that make you go.

Rich Davis (10:38)

Things that make you go.

Steve Covino (10:40)

When you think of some of the bad things we saw over the weekend, the Bills, the Yankees, Mark Sanchez, Penn State, the Cardinals come to mind immediately. I think it was the weakest play of them all because they needed one more play to blow the game out. I think it was 216 in the fourth quarter. They needed one more big score.

Rich Davis (11:00)

That's your play.

Steve Covino (11:01)

Call it a day. That was the play. And Amari Demacardo breaks open. 72 yard run to hot dog it right there. And like Rich said, after we see time and time again, right, we as the fan know, like, don't do that. Don't make that mental, stupid mistake. Get in the end zone, then do your stupid dance. Drops the ball right there at the half yard line. And that was it. And they End up losing the game as a result. That is pathetic. That is the biggest thing that made me go home over the weekend. What's that book?

Rich Davis (11:32)

Someone's unfortunate. No good. Dad. That was it.

Steve Covino (11:35)

Alexander. I'm sorry. Amari DeMacardo's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Rich Davis (11:40)

It was just the beginning of a series of like, just remarkably odd plays that went against the Cardinals.

Steve Covino (11:47)

Again, they would have been. It would have been 28 to 6 had they scored there and they end up losing that game. That's pathetic.

Danny G (11:55)

How about the video that's gone viral that I sent you guys? Coach lighting him up?

Steve Covino (12:00)

Oh, yeah, observingly so. Man. And then he did say at the press conference it should never come down to one play. And I mean, he really had his back there. But it really was that one play that unraveled.

Rich Davis (12:12)

Dan Buyer and I would be in agreement that we laugh at it being that his Seahawks and my Niners are in that division. That was. Do you remember last year? I'm going to reference last year. Remember when the Bears lost on a Hail Mary when the secondary was cheering in the end zone before the game was over?

DB (12:27)

Yeah.

Rich Davis (12:28)

And then after that the wheels came off the Bears. We forget. The Bears are right there for the first quarter of the season with the Lions and the Packers 4 and 2. And then the wheels fell off after that botched Hail Mary.

Steve Covino (12:41)

Yeah, that was bad.

Rich Davis (12:42)

The Cardinals win that game yesterday. They're 3 and 2 with the Rams and Seahawks. The Niners are 4 and 1 and they're playing Tampa this week. And as a Niners fan, I can't be confident. The Bucks look really good. So you're talking about your one game behind in the division. The Niners play the Bucks, which you could argue that the Bucks likely could win this game. So you could be even in your division. Now you're at the bottom at 2 and 3. I think this could be the moment where the Cardinals are just because now you know who the Cardinals play going forward. If you want to schedule watch a little bit. You know, I love to look at the schedule. Oh, boy.

Steve Covino (13:17)

The rich loves to look at the schedule. Game.

Rich Davis (13:19)

Schedule watching. Yeah, Schedule watching. Schedule watching. I love schedule watching. Schedule watching.

Steve Covino (13:28)

I think that's the new Mark and Lewis. Yeah, I think that's new market Lewis.

Rich Davis (13:34)

They play in Indianapolis at the Colts and The Colts are 4 and 1. The Colts look good. So now you're 2 and 4. Then you play the Packers. You'd be 2 and 5. Then you play at the Cowboys who show or have shown that they're better than we thought. Right. And then you play at the Seahawks that that game could have been. We're going to look back and say the wheels fell off with that game.

Steve Covino (13:59)

That was a nightmare play. A nightmare moment. Again, they could have put the game away in the fourth quarter. I think there's like 12 minutes left. It would have been 28. Six. The Titans then. You want to give props to the Titans, go right ahead. Because then they had to do everything right moving forward and they had to get in at least field goal range, which they did with another great play and they win 22.

Rich Davis (14:19)

You're forgetting an interception that was then dropped and bumbled around and kicked and thrown.

Steve Covino (14:23)

They scored 16 points in the fourth. So props to the Titans. But the Cardinals, as they say in baseball, Amari Dimacardo pulled a major boner this weekend. They lost to the Tennessee ass. I mean, we keep in a buck right now. We ass. Total ass.

Rich Davis (14:40)

They lost to the Tennessee ass. Tennessee ass cheeks.

DB (14:42)

The Cardinals had a third and seven and ran the ball on third down, which they then punted it back to Tennessee with like two minutes left. They're only up by two. Like in that situation, let Kyler Murray do what Kyler Murray tries to do or make a play or do something. Yeah, it was a whole, A whole comedy of errors. And by the way, the Titans weren't even perfect down the stretch. Remember, they missed an extra point, you know, like on the ensuing possession after the fumble.

Rich Davis (15:12)

But DB who was on the call for the Eagles Broncos game, was that Tony Romo? Whoever it was.

Steve Covino (15:18)

Oh, it's Tony Romo, but he just looks different now.

Rich Davis (15:21)

Have you seen those?

Steve Covino (15:22)

Yeah, but actually, I don't know who it was.

Rich Davis (15:24)

Whoever was on the call was saying, I think it was Romo might have been saying how that different Rich. He was saying how Sean Payton dialed up a great play on third down with a minute and a half left. He had Bo Nicks roll out, had a couple looks. But then if those looks aren't there, then you try to scramble because you don't want to. You don't want to do. The worst thing you could do in those scenarios is meaninglessly run the ball on third and long knowing you're not going to get the first down or the other worst thing to do is throw the ball, stop the clock for the other team. So they were saying how. How are more team like Sean Payton designed to play where Bo Nicks rolled out looked was bad head coverage, second look covered, snuck for a couple yards for now it's worth down. It's. I'm shocked how that we're going to run it three times and just sort of submit to this being a turn, a three downs and punt. That's just. It's bad football.

DB (16:19)

Really bad football. And I was talking with Kerry Rhodes, who I work with on Sundays, and even just off the air, I don't think this is a secret conversation. It feels just like half the coaches in the NFL can't coach. They can't. Like there's like 16 really good coaches and maybe that's not an accurate number, but there's just way too many things that are slipping through the cracks and situations that you think that you should be able to come up with at least something in those moments and you're just not seeing it weekend.

Rich Davis (16:48)

And sometimes you get away with one. And again they won the game, so I'm happy. But if you want to go back to Thursday, even. Remember when The Niners, the 49ers, caused that goal line fumble? I remember they had the ball left. They had the ball with like a minute left. Kyle Shanahan just ran the ball up the gut three times and punted. And I'm not. I know it's a little risky to throw at that part of the field with Matt Jones your backup, but they gave the Rams good field position. Field goal tied, the game went to overtime and luckily the Niners escaped. But you could argue he got the ball back when a guy fumbled on the one yard line. One one first down. You win that game.

DB (17:27)

Yeah, absolutely.

Rich Davis (17:28)

Even Kyle Shanahan, who is a genius, sometimes makes these, like, oddly conservative. Like I just run up the gut three times.

Steve Covino (17:35)

Interesting coaching moves, interesting plays, bonehead plays. And it was Tony Romo and that side story. My reference, if you don't know, is there's a lot of speculation on social media about why does he look so different and I don't Look, I'm not here to make an opinion there. He does look different. But maybe it's makeup. It's like it's getting older. Who the hell knows?

Danny G (17:56)

A couple years ago, Alex Rodriguez, remember when he got dark from the sun?

Steve Covino (17:59)

Yeah. Romo is Mexican. You know, maybe he just got a sweet tan, I don't know. But something, something doesn't change. People are saying he doesn't even recognize.

Rich Davis (18:07)

People are saying he looks tanner and his face is chubby. What are you gonna do? He doesn't play every day.

Steve Covino (18:13)

You know what?

DB (18:13)

I think it's bad.

Steve Covino (18:15)

Yeah, it maybe bad makeup. Who the hell knows?

Rich Davis (18:17)

Or maybe you remember back in the day, there was the, the rumor that Avril Lavigne, it wasn't really her. She had, she had passed away. And there was like a fill in.

Steve Covino (18:27)

A clone took her place. It makes me say no. And I will say this, I don't want to, I don't want to pour salt in the wounds, pun intended because there was a lot of them. But I think Mark Sanchez drops in the Mexican quarterback rankings because it's probably Tony Romo, Jeff Garcia and then Mark Sanchez now.

Rich Davis (18:48)

Not. I don't want to make. Let me say this very clearly. I'm not making light of anything that happened to Mark Sanchez or that dude over the weekend. But this story, like, like this is not the way Mark Sanchez wanted people to forget about the butt fumble. Because it's like yo. That like, like now there's another, more terrible, a real terrible story that follows this guy. Like it's just a guy with a great career who's always been nice to us, has an embarrassing story and a horrible story that are now attached to him. It's sort of unfortunate.

Steve Covino (19:17)

This one's hard to recover from. And we'll talk about it a little bit.

Rich Davis (19:19)

Is there an escape plan for him, you think? Is there a way he lands a job down the road or something? Or is it. This is.

Steve Covino (19:24)

Yeah, there's an escape plan. The video and the footage and everything that's coming out as we speak makes it harder. The Pictures of the 69 year old truck driver in the hospital, that doesn't help. But if it's something more serious than just drinking. Right. It could be, it could be cte. I don't want to over speculate, but if it was right, then yeah, I think that he has more of a, of a case to be forgiven.

Rich Davis (19:53)

Yeah, well, we shall see.

Steve Covino (19:54)

Again, some sort of pt.

Rich Davis (19:55)

Not for us. You have to decide, right? Yeah.

Steve Covino (19:57)

Post traumatic butt fumble disorder. You know, if there's something else involved, then I think there's a chance years from now to be forgiven. And it's also how it's handled, I think by the family of this poor guy. So, yeah, lots went down this weekend. Things that made you go, we'll take your phone calls now. 87799 on Fox. I think the biggest one so far, Rich, besides the questionable calls that you talked about is the Samari DeMarcado thing. Because you make this 72 yard run. We're watching it now on TV too. You can't cross the end zone before you drop the ball. Like how do you not Know that at this stage of the game by now.

Danny G (20:39)

We've never seen this in back to back NFL weeks where it changed a game.

Steve Covino (20:43)

It just bothers me so much because.

Danny G (20:45)

Mitchell last week that the Colts could be five and oh potentially.

Steve Covino (20:49)

You know what it feels like Danny G. When you have a professional baseball player and he can't lay down a bunt and it's like, dude, you're a professional baseball player and you struck out trying to lay down a bunt or you pop one up laying down. You couldn't do the basics. And it's as simple as like it's just simple fundamentals and a mental error to just drop the ball in that.

Rich Davis (21:08)

But on the all under the. Onto the framework. Framework of honestly just showing off.

DB (21:14)

Yeah, there's, there's also just in. You guys started the show and talking about how there's no undefeateds. I don't think anybody in the NFL is great. So the saying of ball don't lie is sometimes overused, but I think it's entirely accurate for what we saw just this past weekend in the National Football League. What team of the 32 do you think is worthy of being 5? And oh doesn't mean that they should have won this game or could have won that game or this could have been there. Just think the league as a whole, it's very interesting and if you're the Cardinals, you could sit there and point to all those things. But if you're mistaken, making mistakes like this, you probably should be 2 and.

Rich Davis (21:51)

3 at that point and you could argue that, wow, New England, you know, New England is with all the new personnel, new coaching, new everything. Like I'm not that break after Belichick and Brady where they did stink it up for a little while, maybe that we got to put that Patriots team in our. In the back of our mind too because this new Patriots team seems like a mid level team. This is not a bottom feeding Patriots team anymore.

DB (22:14)

No, no.

Rich Davis (22:15)

They play hard.

DB (22:15)

Not even close. They turn the ball over five times against the Steelers and lost by a.

Rich Davis (22:19)

Touchdown, you know, last night, Buffalo. To answer your question, db, you're saying how no one's really sticking out. The Bills were the one team where you're like, well, you know, I mean Josh Allen and that they're, they're. I'll tell you what, there's a pool that we're in at Sirius XM that Cavino and I still take part in. It's like five bucks a week and there's like a couple hundred people and you have to do a four for four parlay. And just to show you how hard a four for four parlay is, sometimes 100 people. No one hits four for four and the money carries over to the next week. So do the math. After two weeks, like 500 bucks on a $5 entry and I was three for three. No one else was going into last night. I needed Buffalo minus 8 and I was like, oh, I'm looking good. Nope, carries over one more week. So last night when you see Josh Allen especially, they're at home. They're wearing those sweet ass uniforms. The cold front, the crowd is rivalry uniforms, all matching, wearing the white out. They. They look like. They look like ass.

Steve Covino (23:18)

Yeah, like Blake buns. They did. They looked average.

Rich Davis (23:20)

The spirit of Bill Belichick is coming back to haunt the afc.

DB (23:25)

There were some warts showing with Buffalo over the last couple of weeks. The record just kind of covered it up. When we saw him, when went to the game in Week 3, when it called in prior, you know, against the Dolphins, they weren't perfect, but they, they were able to manage some stuff. And last night that wasn't the case.

Rich Davis (23:40)

You know what, we're going to take all your feedback next. I'm going to throw one more out there. I'll throw one more little bait hook, line and sink you guys, observations, things that made you go. We said it a couple weeks ago and my goodness, we weren't the only ones. But could we have been more right? We said the Broncos and the Chargers have a real opportunity to really separate themselves. When the Chiefs started out 02 and we were like, my goodness, the Chiefs.

Steve Covino (24:05)

The Chiefs were looking average.

Rich Davis (24:06)

The Chiefs were looking average. Jump out, jump out. And after they win tonight against the Jags, which I think will happen, the Chiefs will be tied for first place after five weeks. And we thought they had an uphill battle. What happened to John, I'm sorry. Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert, the little sideline kisses from Madison Beer aren't working because they would work for me. Did you, did you. I mean.

Steve Covino (24:31)

Well, they're all.

Danny G (24:31)

Their O line has been in tatters, but you got to rise above it.

Rich Davis (24:35)

But I mean, like on their schedule you thought the Commanders would be a tough game, but that was in la. I don't think you thought you'd go to the Meadowlands and lose to the Giants last week and they just got by Denver the week before. So we thought the Chargers remember like weeks one and two, which is why we say you can't ever judge too early after the first two weeks, Danny, we were all, we were all putting the Chargers in the Buffalo.

Danny G (24:55)

I wasn't. What did I say about the Chiefs? I'm like, I've. I hear this every year on almost every show on TV and radio. Oh, the Chiefs.

Rich Davis (25:03)

The Chief.

Danny G (25:04)

And what always happens? They always rally in the second half of the season.

Rich Davis (25:07)

Always.

Steve Covino (25:08)

We always say give it at least six weeks to make an assessment. So we make an assessment from yesterday. We do it every Monday. We call it things that made you go hmm. We get to your feedback next at 87799 on Fox.

Rich Davis (27:23)

I told you this is Big news in my world. I think I'm losing my kids to the Dodgers. I told you this the other day. Where?

Steve Covino (27:31)

Timing, man. Look at the team you're competing with. The dark side. Yeah.

Rich Davis (27:35)

You know, I'm a Mets fan. I'll never change, but I feel like I can't force my kids. They're like, dad, we like the Mets, but is it cool if we like the Dodgers too? Because all their little school friends like the Dodgers. They're surrounded by it.

Steve Covino (27:45)

They're seminated by dod, you know, fandom.

Rich Davis (27:47)

And I was, sam, this is a big one. Over the weekend, my daughter said, dad, can you change my walk up music? Because all the little kids have walk up music for softball and baseball. She comes up to Michael Buble the Ohtani.

Steve Covino (28:02)

Oh, boy.

Rich Davis (28:03)

The Ohtani song. Yeah, dude, it's. It makes me.

Steve Covino (28:08)

Get it right here.

Rich Davis (28:09)

I. I use a little ballpark dj. Here we go. Here we go.

Danny G (28:18)

And it's fitting because she also pitched recently.

Rich Davis (28:21)

Yeah, man. It hurt my heart, but I'm like, all right, buddy. I get it. Toddy's the best.

DB (28:25)

So you guys know I'm a big George Michael fan. He's my favorite artist. His version of Feeling good was the song that we walked to after we said I do. So as we're walking down the aisle, you know, that's what.

Rich Davis (28:36)

That's beautiful, man.

DB (28:37)

Yes. And right at that point. So it can be a walk down the aisle or a walk up music if you'd like.

Steve Covino (28:43)

Is that why you call your show the I want your flex podcast?

DB (28:46)

Absolutely.

Rich Davis (28:46)

100.

Steve Covino (28:47)

Yeah.

DB (28:48)

Good cross promotion.

Steve Covino (28:51)

So he had to look that up.

Rich Davis (28:53)

He doesn't care about you. He just looked that up.

DB (28:56)

Just when I lost faith in Kavino.

Steve Covino (28:58)

Oh, no. Dan, you know, I look at you as a father figure, so thank you for being here. Appreciate it.

Rich Davis (29:04)

Taylor Swift, new album. Yes.

Steve Covino (29:06)

And DB Is here. Danny G. Is here. Sam is here. Thank you, FOX Sports Radio Nation, for being here every Monday. Things that make you go, hmm, we get you involved. Like what made me say, hmm? Are we talking enough about Indiana Jones? Are we talking enough about him? Danny G. When you're watching your Raiders get stomped by the Colts, seriously, what are your thoughts there? Because you have all these hopes with Chino Smith. You're seeing what happens with Daniel Jones. 40 to 6. What were your thoughts watching that?

Danny G (29:38)

It's just been a weird season so far. Rich mentioned how the Patriots aren't the Patriots we know from the past few seasons. Yeah, Raiders look good against him in week one. Geno Smith Came out with a bang and then he turned into a pumpkin and has been throwing all these picks. He threw his ninth interception and it's weird the Raiders seem and Dan Byer and I said after game one it looked like Carroll and his staff made some really good coaching adjustments at halftime of that first game. And ever since it looks like Pete Carroll and company have been out coached. Their special teams is horrendous, which is weird. They've always had a great punter and kicker and have been good on coverage. And this season for whatever reason, they can't punt, they can't kick field goals, they can't cover the other team when they're kicking to them. So it's. I don't know, dude. It's been so weird.

Steve Covino (30:25)

Well, it's kind of ironic because I feel like Geno Smith is the face like the modern day face of written off and then redeemed himself, came back, got second life and now, now back to now back to the reality calling him a bust.

Danny G (30:38)

Yeah, it's so strange.

Steve Covino (30:39)

And Daniel Jones is that guy now and 212 yards, two touchdowns. The guy looks impressive.

Rich Davis (30:47)

Indiana Dr. Jones is going to be rooting for tonight.

Steve Covino (30:50)

Who?

Rich Davis (30:50)

Patrick Mahomes. Because if they beat Jacksonville, sitting alone in first place in the AFC South, Indianapolis at 4 and 1 and they had a wild year. Right. They lost their owner who's running the team is, you know, wild since we lost Jim Mayor say just a very interesting and think about where we started with Indianapolis. So I'm great you brought them up Kavino. Because remember it was Anthony Richardson and it was like whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. Daniel Jones is competing with him. And then when they said open quarterback battle, let's be honest, didn't we all think at first like you have to say that?

Steve Covino (31:24)

Yeah. And then you were hearing the favoritism, then you're like toward Daniel Jones.

Rich Davis (31:28)

So it's for real because you know, we forget that NFL teams want to win. They want to win at all costs. So there's no like, well we're going to go with Richardson regardless. He had no big contract yet. So it was interesting to see, wow, Daniel Jones won the battle. Richardson doesn't seem like he's the guy. And now Richardson, I'm not saying rooting against this team. But you don't think subconsciously he's like, damn, why is Daniel Jones rolling, yo.

Steve Covino (31:52)

And in the battle of written off quarterbacks, Geno Smith, Daniel Jones, you saw the Buccaneers and Seahawks going at it and that was a game that made me Say, really good game. That was a really great game. And Baker Mayfield again separating himself, I think from the pack of quarterbacks that were sort of written off. Or as they say, he wasn't written off. He was just playing for the Browns.

Rich Davis (32:18)

But again, he won a playoff game for the Browns.

Steve Covino (32:20)

Yeah, but he bounced around and he's playing big. 379 yards, two tuddies and a really great win over the Seahawks. 4 and 1. Just battling and grinding every game. How could you not like at least watching the Buccaneers play?

Rich Davis (32:35)

Well, Dan Byer, your Seahawks fell just short. And I said before, I don't feel comfortable as a Niners fan playing the Bucks next week. They. They see they could secretly be a top two or three NFC team right.

DB (32:47)

Now considering they played yesterday without Bucky Irving and Mike Evans. Yes, I know the Seahawks defense missing some pieces as well. But Darnold up until the last interception was just as good as Baker Mayfield. But to have the cross country trip that Tampa had, to not have Evans, to not have Irving and to be able to do what? Yeah, sitting there at 4 and 1 in a division that honestly already feels wrapped up like in the NFC south, like the Buccaneers are going to be there. He is your leading MVP candidate right now.

Steve Covino (33:16)

But remember two quarterbacks that played together on the same team. Two quarterbacks.

Rich Davis (33:20)

There's that picture of Sam Darnold and Baker in the Carolina uniforms together.

Steve Covino (33:25)

Both have a chip on their shoulder a little bit. Or as Collins says, Mayfield has that good chip on his shoulder. You know, it's a good chip. And to see them battle in that way and both put up big numbers and both look good, it was really cool to see. So, you know, just some observations we're making and then we open it up to you. 87799 on Fox. Things that make you go, hmm. But first and first mostly we got to talk to our guy, db.

Rich Davis (33:48)

Let's get an update, my friend.

DB (33:50)

We forget Cleveland made the playoffs with Baker.

Steve Covino (33:52)

Yeah.

DB (33:52)

But then they wanted to go in a different direction and kind of forced him out, moved him to Carolina where Sam Darnold already was. And that's how they were teammates. And then the Mayfield experiment didn't work. And funny how everything sorts out. Yeah, Bengals have a unique quarterback situation right now because Joe Burrow's and Jake Browning is just turning the ball over today. Head coach Zach Taylor was asked if Browning's going to remain the starter for week six against the Packers. Do you see Jake starting on Sunday? We'll see where it goes. You know, it's I think like all personnel decisions, we got to evaluate it. Jake's been very accountable for how the.

Rich Davis (34:24)

Game went for him.

DB (34:25)

I've got to be accountable for how the game went for me as well. And so we'll continue to progress here through the days. Not necessarily a vote of confidence. In other NFL news, the Chargers are placing running back Amarian Hampton on injured reserve because of the injured ankle suffered in yesterday's loss to the Commanders. Colts kicker Spencer Schrader done for the year with a torn ligament. Torn ligaments in his knees suffered in yesterday's win over Danny's Raiders. Patriots running back Antonio Gibson done for the year with a torn acl. Lions got the win against the Bengals, but they lost corner Terry and Arnold for a while. Head coach Dan Campbell said it'll be a long time before Arnold returns from a shoulder injury tonight. Chiefs and Jaguars, 8:15 Eastern Time. Baseball top of the hour, Dodgers and Phillies. No Harrison Bader in the lineup for the Phillies. He's out because of his groin injury. Cubs and Brewers, 9 Eastern Jackson Churchill batting leadoff for Milwaukee, playing left field is there up one. Oh, in the best of five matchup, guys, back to you.

Rich Davis (35:17)

Thanks, DB and as far as things that make you go, hmm, I love the meme that's like, well, well, well, let's look at the AFC North Burrow. Flaco Lamar, all under.500 and injured, and look who's just sitting there three and one on a bye week with his feet up, dominating that division, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. That's a story that we would not have predicted. And as we said, there' undefeated teams. There's only one winless team and is what does your mom always say, Steven? It all comes out in the wash. Like, do the jets just permanently stink? The only 05 team in the NFL.

Steve Covino (35:54)

What did Justin Field say something about? Oh, what did he say? He got a lot of criticism for it.

Rich Davis (35:58)

Well, you know what? Think about it. Find out what it is.

Steve Covino (36:01)

He's still buying into Hope. Like, oh, they're like, no team has ever made the playoffs starting, you know, oh, and five or whatever. He goes, well, there's a first time for everything. Maybe not.

Rich Davis (36:11)

And we landed on the moon. All right. Hey, we got more Kavin Onrich next right here on on Fox Ford's radio.

Steve Covino (37:20)

By the way, Sam, DB Said before he's a big George Michaels fan. I thought he meant the George Michael sports machine, but he actually meant, you know, George Michael of Wham. And this is by far my favorite song.

Rich Davis (37:33)

Song.

Steve Covino (37:33)

It's such a great song. Freedom 94 with all the hot models. Yeah, bro. Great video too. Is this a fair one to say? It's like just a universally awesome song.

DB (37:44)

Yeah, I think this is the one that people will point to. Like I like we mentioned Faith earlier. I think Faith is the worst song in the Faith album. But people it's more popular.

Steve Covino (37:52)

However, biscuit version better.

Rich Davis (37:54)

However, have you seen Dan Byron? Some tight denim?

Steve Covino (37:57)

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

DB (37:59)

My leather jacket as well.

Steve Covino (38:01)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. DB Is hanging out. He's your grand champion when it comes to last one standing.

Rich Davis (38:07)

Well, not today. I'm bringing it today. I'm bringing it today.

Steve Covino (38:09)

You know, I'm trying to work on it because when it comes to process of elimination, I just have a mental roadblock. Man, it's tough but that's what makes it fun. It's a battle. And we play for some prizes later today so stick around for that. But right now, like we always do on this Monday, we're live from Fox Sports Radio studio. It's time for our tire rack play of the day. The Patriots took out the NFL's last unbeaten team.

Rich Davis (38:35)

The Ashby snap to Behringer at the swing of the right leg by Borgales. The kick sail into the uprights. It's good. And the Patriots have the lead with 15 seconds to go.

Steve Covino (38:45)

The rookie delivers Aurora borregolis with the 52 yard.

Rich Davis (38:51)

Is that a constellation?

Steve Covino (38:52)

Yeah, actually his name is Andy. My bad. The Northern lights. Yeah, yeah, I meant Andy Borgales. Andy and yeah, Aurora, same thing. That's courtesy of 98.5 Sports Hub and the Patriots radio network. That's our Tire rack play of the day.

Rich Davis (39:07)

Is that because tonight, is it tonight like a super moon or something?

Steve Covino (39:10)

So it's the harvest moon, something like that.

Rich Davis (39:12)

Solar storm courtesy of 98.5 the Sports Hub Patriots Radio Network Tirex Play of the Day for over 40 years, our good friends at tire rack, they've been helping customers find the right tires for how, where and what they drive ship fast and free backed by free road hazard protection. Convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tirek.com the way tire buying should be.

Steve Covino (39:31)

You know, we were just glazing, as the kids say, Baker Mayfield off the air, Rich. Wondering if we give him enough credit. I'm like, on this show we do. But is the rest of the world doing that? And you got to give him props. 379 yards, two touchdowns. The Buccaneers over the Seahawks. Again, a battle of the unwritten, the written off quarterbacks.

Rich Davis (39:51)

I should say it's not, it's not crazy to say he's an MVP candidate.

Steve Covino (39:54)

Well, the point as of right now, we're going to make here right now, real quick, things that make you go is when are we going to start putting Mayfield in that conversation of top quarterbacks in the league? Like, what more does the guy have to do? Is it his previous reputation that's holding him back because he's doing everything right and it has to be applauded?

Rich Davis (40:14)

It's impressive. A lot of times when your reputation unfortunately is, as they say, precedes you.

Steve Covino (40:20)

Yeah.

Rich Davis (40:22)

I'll give you one, you know, rude one and one like funny one. The rude one would be if, unfortunately this is, it's sexist and not right of guys to think. But if a woman has been around quite a bit, whoa. It's hard to shake that reputation of when she was like a party girl and like she could be a great woman. But in college, you know what, she used to do it and sometimes it's hard.

Danny G (40:43)

You're about to see that storyline on Love is Blind, by the way.

Rich Davis (40:45)

Oh, I can't wait.

Steve Covino (40:46)

So Ed Keene's mom would call her a Jezebel.

Rich Davis (40:49)

So I, to me it's sort of like that. And my dumb analogy, I was gonna tell you, when we were kids, it was so hard for me to acknowledge that Bret the Hitman Hart was like a champion. Cause in my mind he was part of like a weak ass tag team. I'm like. Cause they were like, you mean Bret Hart and Jim the Anvil. You're gonna convince me that the guy that was on the mediocre tag team is now like the guy for wrestling, like Brett the Hitman Hart. Like, to me it's like, no, he's like a tag team guy with the goatee guy, Jim the Anvil. He's not a champion.

Steve Covino (41:17)

That's why I think he's more relatable and fun to root for, because I think everybody faces that at one point. I can't tell you how many people still think of me as the van driver for KROQ New York. I haven't driven the van since 1999.

Rich Davis (41:32)

But until you branched out and did something else, everyone there would think of you as, oh, Cavino, the guy that promotionally drives the van, the KROC van.

Steve Covino (41:39)

Or you mean the national radio host for Fox Sports Radio? Like, give me a break. But that's how people remember you sometimes, how you started.

Rich Davis (41:47)

I think people think of Baker as the.

Steve Covino (41:51)

He had a fork in the road and he could have went down a Johnny Manziel path, which it looked like he was going. And he did the exact opposite.

Rich Davis (41:58)

But because the Browns stink so much, we forget that he's the only guy that's brought them any glimmer of glory. He won playoff games. He was. But then they decided, oh, we're going to go with Deshaun Watson, and it was really unfortunate.

Steve Covino (42:08)

So is he elite?

Rich Davis (42:09)

That makes you go, I'm a big Baker fan. I think most people are now right. All right, we got more CNR lot coming up here on Fox Sports Radio.
