• Legacy Stakes: Discussion on whether Mayweather is risking his 50–0 undefeated record just for a payday.
• Modern Relevancy: Comparison with young stars (Ryan Garcia, Tank Davis) and questioning why older legends continue instead of letting the new generation shine.

[Danny G]

Sure shaking in his shoes.

[Steve Covino]

Speaking of smack talk, did you hear what Manny Pac man Pacquiao said about Floyd Mayweather?

[Rich Davis]

What did he say?

[Steve Covino]

Well, they announced today a rematch, which sounds ridiculous, but yeah. What year is this again? Mayweather Pacquiao 2, September 19th at the Sphere. You heard Dan Byer mention it? It's going to air on Netflix. This just came out courtesy of Ariel Helwani. Posted it, reposted it. He says I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him. He's pulling an old Bronx tale move. Look at me. I did this to you. Remember me, Manny Pacquiao on his fight against Floyd Mayweather. So like I said, there's a different level of vengeance and hunger when it comes to Pacquiao side of things. As opposed to Floyd Mayweather. Although Floyd's 50, you know and he's 50, you know, for a reason. So can Manny even get to him at this age?

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I'm not saying they're this old, but. You guys ever see that movie in 2013? Stallone and De Niro, grudge match.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Like two guys that fought their prime when they're old guys, they ran it back. I'm not saying they're that old. And I'm not saying it's like a Tyson.

[Steve Covino]

Who?

[Rich Davis]

Tyson fight the first time.

[Steve Covino]

Jake Paul.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no, no, no. Remember, it was another legit fighter.

[Steve Covino]

What are you talking about? Mike Tyson?

[Danny Beyer]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Rich Davis]

You don't know what I'm talking about? No. You think Jake Paul is the first time he fought?

[Steve Covino]

That was the first time he'd fought in a long ass time.

[Rich Davis]

He fought like a year before that.

[Steve Covino]

I don't remember. But Floyd is 48 and Manny's 46. Or I don't know what you're talking about.

[Rich Davis]

See, Tyson fought like not Lennox Lewis, not Bus, not Evander. Who do you fight? Why are you guys all I've got?

[Steve Covino]

Like, man, he's 47.

[Rich Davis]

Did I.

[Steve Covino]

He was 46 when he fought Barrios with the draw. I'm pretty sure you didn't dream this.

[Rich Davis]

Is this like a Mandela effect? Am I. You guys sure this wasn't a dream? You guys ever hear the lamp theory? Some guy looks at a lamp and he realizes the last years of his life were a dream. Quiet, Lampley. Come on.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, Roy Jones Jr. Thank you, Wes.

[Rich Davis]

In Vegas. You guys are all brain dead.

[Steve Covino]

I thought of it. We're brain dead because we're not reading your dumb brain. Yeah, you're the guy that brought it up out of nowhere. You should know, Roy. I remember where I was when I watched it. Roy Jones.

[Rich Davis]

And it was just, you know, like a nice sparring match.

[Danny G]

Trying to forget that fight.

[Danny Beyer]

I know that.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe that's why, maybe I'll give you the pass because you tried to forget it.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, now it's around Covid time. So I try to forget anything around that time.

[Rich Davis]

Grudge match, Stallone, De Niro. Not a bad movie, not a good movie. But Pac man and Floyd, when both guys are. When their average age is around 50 ish or so or. Come on, what are we doing?

[Steve Covino]

So money, Mayweather has an unsanctioned fight

[Rich Davis]

in April and then he has a legit on the books fight in September.

[Steve Covino]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

Wow. Busy year for him.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, and by the way, you know, it was a big Weekend of fights, as we mentioned, Sean Strickland with the third round TKO over Hernandez. UFC fight night. Also, Ryan Garcia beat Mario Barrios. Barrios, his last fight was against Pacquiao with the draw. But now Garcia is the 1:47 champ. And as of today, not only Mayweather, Pac man announced. They're saying Tank Davis. His coach, Calvin Ford is saying that Tank Davis will return with a big fight that's unfurling and unfolding right before our very eyes as we speak. So he's saying that he's also coming back. There's a lot of moving parts in the fight game. So just throwing that out there.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, it's an interesting one to me. And by the way, we're still taking

[Steve Covino]

calls on Pat riley.

[Rich Davis]

Roy Jones Jr. A lot of people chiming in saying, yeah, that was a not a memorable fight. Escobar Cheeks. That's a cool name.

[Steve Covino]

Says, what's up, Mike Tyson cheeks.

[Rich Davis]

We remember. We remember the Tyson Cheeks. For sure. We have a. We have a call in the Pat Riley thing. But one last thought. I'm on. On these boxing spectacles that we seem to all consume. Right. When you think about all the names you just mentioned, you said Mario Barrios, who just got whooped by Garcia. Garcia fought to a draw with Pacquiao.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So I know the number one phrase in boxing is, you know, styles make fights, matchups are different. But what did that insinuate?

[Steve Covino]

Number one, protect yourself at all times.

[Rich Davis]

But what did that insinuate? That a young, quickhanded Ryan Garcia could hang with Manny Pac Man Pacquiao. In fact, if anything, should be able to handle an old Pacquiao. And now you're talking about Mayweather. I don't. Would you watch?

[Steve Covino]

It's a sanctioned fight, but it doesn't matter. These guys are way old and they're past their prime. I think a guy like Ryan Garcia would light up a Manny Pacquiao. Would you Crispy? Like, we saw Garcia over the weekend.

[Rich Davis]

Now, I think that's a fight we would all watch, though, because it's like legend versus young kid. Danny G. You would watch Ryan Garcia, Manny Pacquiao.

[Danny G]

I would watch that. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

See, that to me, sounds like it's got some juice.

[Steve Covino]

Rolly Romero tried to make that happen, and Pacquiao didn't make it happen. That was real close to happening.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but I'm saying some of people, like, care about, like, Ryan Garcia is like an Instagram popular young fighter.

[Steve Covino]

So I'm saying Garcia would light Pacquiao up at this stage And I say that respectfully. I think Manny Pacquiao is a legend and he's just a 47 year old legend, that's all.

[Rich Davis]

So when you. Okay, I'm just saying it gives a little less significance to the Pacquiao Mayweather fight because if there's younger guys that would whoop these guys in their prime,

[Steve Covino]

it's just a matchup, an even matchup that might draw some intrigue. They would never, I don't think they can compete with today's championship, but they can compete against each other.

[Rich Davis]

You know what, which is nice, but do you want to remember them that way or not? Well, and Floyd's always made a ton of money. Is he short on money? Like I said, does he just have the love of the game or.

[Steve Covino]

I'm surprised he's putting his 50 and oh, which just sounds so great for the legacy on the line for this.

[Rich Davis]

He could forever be the undefeated 500 Floyd Mayweather Jr. And you know, he could always be involved in boxing somehow as a promoter, a manager, a quarter

[Steve Covino]

guy paid out of these exhibition fights.

[Danny G]

And Rich, there were rumors about Mayweather needing some cash flow, but those rumors kind of got put to bed after he made a big, big multi hundred million, I think 3,400 million investment in some property in Manhattan. So he's still got all that. He's made over a billion dollars in his career.

[Rich Davis]

So I mean, who knows?

[Danny G]

He does spend a lot every week though.

[Rich Davis]

Back to your dude, pat Riley.

[Steve Covino]

Life O'Reilly, bro.

[Rich Davis]

Life O'Reilly got the statue jokingly called out. James Worthy is the only one that chose respect because he wore a tie and everyone else wasn't wearing a tie.

[Steve Covino]

Rich wears a bolo tie every once in a while. Just a bolo tie. Just a bolo tie on a sexy day.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, good one, buddy. Pat Riley has a devilish laugh. Which we learned and we learned that is the tie just an antiquated old school thing like when you really think about. It's a piece of material just hanging from your neck. Like, do we need to wear ties in 2026?

[Steve Covino]

You could look sharp, you could look slick without the tie. As long as you got a nice fitted. Not, not your old uncle's suit. Like a nice fitted suit. I just showed Rich the last time at My daughter's sweet 16. Yeah, I, you know, it was a nice banquet hall. Even before that I went to a wedding with my girlfriend. Just the suit, no tie. I think you could pull that off. But I think that's the compromise. I think there's too many people that just abandon the compromise and they just show up looking like slobs.

[Rich Davis]

That's a problem. You know, it's funny. Before he returned to the NFL last year and made a pretty cool comeback as a guy in his 40s, before that, my last impression of Philip Rivers was, remember he was showing up at press conferences wearing bolo ties?

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

When I said that, it's immediately what I thought.

[Rich Davis]

I think of Philip Rivers. Until he made that comeback, my final thought of him was, he wears bolo ties. Huh. Okay.

[Steve Covino]

Totally associate him with that, for sure.

[Rich Davis]

All right, who do we got online? One.

[Steve Covino]

Danny.

[Danny G]

Let's talk to Andrew in Texas.

[Steve Covino]

Andrew, what do you think about Pat Riley's statements again? Congrats on his statue. And what do you think about the world just being way too casual?

[Caller]

Well, my thought is, you know, Walmart. And if you've hit puberty, don't come in your jammies. I'm sorry. Also, if it's a suit, it's a tie. If it's a sport jacket.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Ties optional.

[Steve Covino]

Okay. I like that rule, but I do think you could pull it off. Yeah, but I think it's a younger guy look.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I've never been one to wear a sports coat with different color pants. I'll wear a suit, matching jacket and pants.

[Steve Covino]

No, but he's right. If you've got that Alex P. Keaton look, the sport jacket, you know, that's with the blazer.

[Rich Davis]

It's like a J. Crew look. Like a dude. Like Berscha works.

[Steve Covino]

A blazer of glory. You don't need a tie if you're just rocking the sports jacket.

[Rich Davis]

The type of guy that wears, like, khakis and like, a different color blazer.

[Steve Covino]

At our 20 year convention, I was rocking a blazer with no tie. I'm going to tell him you said that. Yeah, I'm going to tell Jolly Burch you said that, too.

[Rich Davis]

Why would he care? He doesn't know that he's out of, like, an L.L. bean catalog. I'm going to tell him you said that.

[Steve Covino]

No, he's more of like a Patagonia kind of guy.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I mean, he definitely wears a vest on occasion. I bet. Like a nice winter vest.

[Danny Beyer]

Keep digging yourself into a hole, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, probably shot that Arapa style at the mall.

[Advertisement Voice]

For sure.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, Pat Riley. All right. Something else I wanted to talk about today, if it's cool with you. Pat McAfee, the action star.

[Steve Covino]

So we're gonna go from Pat riley

[Rich Davis]

to Pat McAfee, and then that was Next, Pat, are you the guys at

[Steve Covino]

the beach that hate everything?

[Rich Davis]

Pat from snl. Pat Riley has something to say about that.

[Steve Covino]

He thinks you're clever.

[Danny Beyer]

He thinks you're clever.

[Danny G]

Yeah, clever.

[Sam]

It's.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, Rich, you could pat my hue bowls while you're at it.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. You know who's your favorite? Pat Summerall, Pat Sajak, Pat Marita. A lot of great pets.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. How about that? You know that Mexican guy, Pat My Huebos.

[Rich Davis]

Pat Suica.

[Steve Covino]

Who?

[Rich Davis]

So, Pat riley to Pat McAfee. Pat McAfee, one of the biggest names in the sports entertainment world. Got to give him credit where credit's due. That guy.

[Steve Covino]

Let alone ties, he doesn't wear sleeves. That guy.

[Rich Davis]

Guy bet on himself. Good for him.

[Danny Beyer]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

I mean, you bet on yourself, and you become a big star. Big. I mean, think about it. He left a job making millions as a punter to say, I'm betting on myself and it works out.

[Steve Covino]

That's.

[Rich Davis]

That's a. That's a good story. I'm a. I'm a fan of what he does. So McAfee, there's a rumor going around that he reached out. Danny was. He got an agent.

[Danny G]

So, yeah, he hired Hollywood super agent Ari Emanuel, who wants to turn him into the next Sylvester Stallone. And he's already started to book McAfee for movie and TV roles now.

[Rich Davis]

It sounds crazy.

[Steve Covino]

Next action.

[Danny G]

It's legit. This is from Bloomberg Business.

[Rich Davis]

It sounds crazy when you first say, like, Pat McAfee, the action star. But you know what? Since the days of Stallone and Arnold and Bruce Willis and all these people, think about who our last couple action stars have got.

[Steve Covino]

Jackie Chan, bro.

[Rich Davis]

Yo. The last couple action movies I saw were not the most believable dudes. I. The last two movies I watched with a quote, action star Liam Neeson and Bob Odenkirk. Two great actors. But if you could convince me that Bob Odenkirk and. And Liam Neeson are action badasses, then you don't think Pat McAfee can be one, too.

[Steve Covino]

Bautista has, you know, made some waves.

[Rich Davis]

Bautista has been pretty.

[Steve Covino]

Pretty good. Jason Statham.

[Rich Davis]

But Statham, again, is also not a big fella. If you're going to Bautista. Yes. Former wrestler. I saw him in Like a Vampire. Netflix movie was pretty solid. But if you're telling me that Bob Odenkirk was awesome in Nobody. Did you see that movie? And Liam Neeson with all the Taken movies, and I saw one where he was like a truck driver on the, like, some ice trucker.

[Steve Covino]

You got Daniel Craig as Bond.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. These are the guys that maybe.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe McAfee is the next Bond, but I think Patrick Gibson's the next one.

[Rich Davis]

I'm just saying it doesn't shock me that McAfee could be, like, some action star. I really. It's not crazy to say because, I

[Steve Covino]

mean, I would never say never, but I would find that hard to believe. And I say that respectfully.

[Danny G]

And we got to see his chops.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Like, I. Yeah, you know, we've seen crazier things, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

I just named two of them. Better Call Saul comedian Bob Odenkirk.

[Steve Covino]

Those guys are polished actors, but if you're.

[Rich Davis]

If you're convinced.

[Steve Covino]

That's what they do. They convince you because they're acting.

[Rich Davis]

I'm just saying if you could.

[Steve Covino]

Is he a good actor?

[Rich Davis]

He's the best. I love Odenkirk, but I'm saying.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, is McAfee a good actor, you bonehead.

[Rich Davis]

I've seen him in wrestling. I don't know.

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Like you're saying it's crazy that Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson's an incredible actor. That's why he's convincing.

[Rich Davis]

But Bob. I watched a movie called Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. I don't know if you saw it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but Bob Odenkirk's awesome.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. Bob Odenkirk.

[Steve Covino]

I love Bob Odenkirk. Why are you saying that like we

[Rich Davis]

don't know who he is?

[Steve Covino]

Slippin Jimmy. Yeah, Slippin Jimmy. It's all good, man.

[Rich Davis]

Because I don't know if every ass clown out there knows who Bob Odenkirk is. Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad.

[Steve Covino]

Saul Goodman.

[Rich Davis]

Saul Goodman. Slippin Jimmy. Bob Odenkirk is not cut from a clock.

[Steve Covino]

What was his other name at the cinema?

[Rich Davis]

Jimmy McGill.

[Steve Covino]

No, at cinema.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, that's a good question. Good tribute. But Bob Odenkirk is a great actor, comes from a comedic background and had a really great role on Breaking Bad. Slash, Better Call Saul. I saw him in a movie where he was on a bus and he beat up, like, six gang members at once. If you can convince me that Bob Odenkirk could beat up, like, the Vatos Rokos, then you can convince me that Pat McAfee is an action star. If you could tell. If you can tell me Takovic or whatever it was.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

If you could. If you could convince me that Liam Neeson finds a bunch of gang members, and I will find you and I will kill you. If you can convince me of.

[Steve Covino]

That's the Difference, you numbskull. That's what they do. Bob Odenkirk convinced you that he worked at a Cinnabon, that he was a

[Danny G]

shady lawyer, and he was a badass as a lawyer.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

It's not outside of his range, Rich.

[Steve Covino]

He was so good as that. That sketchy, shady lawyer. That's not who he is. So my. What I'm saying is, Pat McAfee is a man of many talents. But is he able to convince you that he's an action star, that he's. He's. Whatever character he's portraying? Maybe he can. I don't know that because we've never seen it, so I don't know that. I know he could host a radio show. I know that he can capture people's attention. I know he's. He's a. He's a fun, entertaining guy, for sure. But can he do that? I don't know. But I would never say he can't, because I don't. I just don't know. But would you buy him as the next action star? Fox Sports Radio Nation. Is he the next Van Damme? Hey, if we. If we all sat through Steven seagal in the 80s, maybe we could buy into Pat McAfee. But then again, Steven Seagal was a legitimate martial artist.

[Rich Davis]

I have a call. I'll take you to the bank, Senator Trent.

[Steve Covino]

The blood bank. To the blood bank.

[Rich Davis]

I'm gonna give you two examples of where we were shot. Like, I gave you the Odenkirk one. I'm gonna give you another from our childhood. I watched a little something on Netflix, I believe, the movies that made us. Have you ever seen these quick little documentaries, more of a docu series where they analyze the making of some of our favorite childhood movies in the action world. Comedies. And there was one on Die Hard. And do you know that because at that time, Bruce Willis, who I hate to hear, is going through what he's going through now. Dementia.

[Danny Beyer]

Right.

[Steve Covino]

Mm. By the way, if you guys are taking the temperature of what the world is talking about, it seems like everything we do, consume, eat, or stand next to causes dementia. Stay safe, everybody.

[Rich Davis]

If that gets in your algorithm, every other click is like, you know what could cause dementia? It's like, oh, my God. Skin.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. It's so scary. There's like, this show causes dementia.

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

No, seriously, there's like every. There's all studies that prove that whatever we do causes dementia nowadays. It's like, my goodness, stay safe. Eat healthy.

[Rich Davis]

Bruce Willis was considered like. Like a tv, like, almost like comedic Rom com type of guy. Moonlighting. Do you know they left Bruce Willis off the original Die Hard movie poster? This is a fun fact. Because they thought people are not going to buy that Bruce Willis could be an action star.

[Steve Covino]

Bruce Willis from moonlighting. That guy.

[Rich Davis]

And then once the movie was a big hit, they went back and they redesigned the movie poster with him as John McClane holding the gun sideways and everything. But originally we won't. We wouldn't even put Bruce Willis on a movie poster because it wasn't convincing.

[Steve Covino]

Is the highest paid action star, if you look it up with his involvement as far as ownership of the rights and points in movies and things like that.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. And again, I don't know about McAfee's acting. Acting chops and anything. I don't need to.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, dude, anything's possible. He's. He's proven that he's likable. He's got an audience because people like what he does.

[Rich Davis]

And he apparently real nice guy. I've never really had an interaction with McAfee, so I got nothing good or bad to say. But I'll say he's entertaining. And it's not shocking when, because, Danny, my first thought when you sent me that article, like, McAfee shopping, like, with an acting agent to make him an, like an action star, my first thought was like, that's hilarious. And I'm like, well, you know what, Bruce Willis, Bob Odenkirk, Liam Neeson, like, there have been guys that have been, quote, action stars. Are you really that convinced when you see certain people and then they end up being great?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but those people are great actors. So if he has acting chops, anything's possible and we wish him the best. And speaking of action stars, your boy was on a show called Icons that Built America. And we did a special on Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Look it up on the History Channel if you got it. Icons that Built America.

[Rich Davis]

History boy, History. Camino.

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Rich Davis]

If he could be. If there could.

[Steve Covino]

If I could be on the History Channel. Please be an action star.

[Rich Davis]

Steve Cavino, historian.

[Steve Covino]

If I could be a historian, anything's possible.

[Rich Davis]

Historian of what? 1980s baseball cards?

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Rich Davis]

Listen, we got more Cavino and Rich. We're going to play Last one standing. If you want in. It's the most fun game we play. I love Brainwave on Fridays, Danny, but I feel like this is the stressor. This is a good, stressful, fun trivia game. If you want in, you want a little excitement on your Monday, you know, pep in your step. Let's do it 87799 on Fox we will play last one standing give away some Fox Sports Radio Cavino rich PR

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Podcast Announcer]

And then WEMBY at 5.2.

[Rich Davis]

You know what's interesting? I lost very early on with a bad guess, but Wemby was on my mind. And you know what I think the trick answer was? Bronnie's a good trick answer. Because you're like, oh, yeah, he is an NBA player. That's a good one.

[Danny G]

All right, so Covino and Byer both on the board. We go to the third category. Kenneth Walker should get paid. You have five seconds to name an NFL running back who has ran for over 100 yards in a Super Bowl. There are 23 answers on the board. All right, NFL running back who's ran for over 100 yards in the big game, and Covino, you are going to be up first, starting right now. Go.

[Rich Davis]

Ooh, good answer.

[Danny G]

Covino. Three, two.

[Steve Covino]

Roger Craig.

[Podcast Announcer]

New.

[Steve Covino]

He's the guess, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Good guess. Good guess.

[Danny G]

Three, two.

[Rich Davis]

Franco Harris.

[Podcast Announcer]

Yes, that is correct.

[Danny G]

Barely pulled that out by it.

[Steve Covino]

Good one.

[Sam]

Timmy Smith.

[Podcast Announcer]

Timmy Smith. Yes.

[Danny G]

Ah, good answer. Yeah, he had that big game.

[Caller]

That was when I was gonna take.

[Danny G]

Ah, you gotta Think of another one, Mark. Three, two, one.

[Caller]

Tony Dorsett says.

[Danny G]

Dorsett from the Cowboys.

[Steve Covino]

No, I don't think so.

[Podcast Announcer]

Yes.

[Danny G]

Okay. Sorry, buddy. Back to Rich. 3, 2, 1.

[Rich Davis]

McCaffrey in the 49ers loss. No, no.

[Danny G]

Byer wins that round and he wins the game.

[Sam]

No, was Otis Anderson.

[Podcast Announcer]

OJ Otis Anderson, Dominic Rhodes, Frank Gore, Jamal Lewis, and Marshawn Lynch.

[Rich Davis]

Ah, Lynch.

[Danny G]

That's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sorry. I'm so mad at myself for not thinking of gore in the 2013 loss. Yeah.

[Danny G]

Shame on you. That is Byers 39th victory in this game.

[Rich Davis]

Wow. Brag about it.

[Steve Covino]

Congrats, DB. That was a good battle.

[Danny G]

And yes, Mark in Iowa. Thank you for playing the game. Great job there. And Bree, thank you for filling in for Spotty.

[Steve Covino]

I was gonna say Thurman Thomas, maybe.

[Rich Davis]

Thurman Thomas, I don't think ever had a good Super Bowl.

[Steve Covino]

You know, that's what. But I was thinking he had so many shots, he could have been an answer.

[Sam]

What was also interesting is I think Kenneth Walker passing the 100. It had been 23, 25 some years since a winner had had 100 yards.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Sam]

Yeah. So it's. It's been a while. So a lot of guys on the losing side, you wouldn't think, right?

[Rich Davis]

You would think because they're passing the

[Sam]

ball, maybe they're behind. But there were. Lynch had his against the Patriots in Super Bowl 49, DB.

[Rich Davis]

You would think that being that I was at that game, I would have known, but I wasn't sure. Like, I wonder what McAffrey's numbers looked like against the Chiefs in Las Vegas. That was. I don't. You know, you. You forget sometimes. Yeah. Good one. Hey, congrats.

[Steve Covino]

I had that one, dude.

[Rich Davis]

I had that one, man. Hey, Bri. Thanks, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

Danny G. Great questions, Bri. Great job. Let's give a hip, hip, hooray to Bri. Hip, hip, hooray.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, Bri.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, Bri. Thank you for your always doing a great job. Happy to have you on the show, Bri.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's go to DB for an update.

[Steve Covino]

Dan Boyer.

[Sam]

I wore my Saints hat for Bri today. Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Look at that.

[Rich Davis]

Her Saints hat.

[Danny Beyer]

Look at that.

[Sam]

How about that?

[Podcast Announcer]

The best hat ever.

[Sam]

Tip of the cap. Tip of the cap. To Brie and her hard work at Fox Sports Radio. We know the hard work Lindsey Von put into trying to ski for the Olympics. Then the week before, she tore ACL and decided, screw it, I'm going to ski again. Well, she crashed. We knew that and broke her leg. And now we found out today as she revealed in an Instagram post that she almost lost her left leg following that crash during the Winter Olympics, she fractured her leg, that led to compartment syndrome and required leg saving surgery while she was in Italy. She also said her doctor was in the area because of her accident and if he was unable to be there, she doesn't know if she'd be able to save her leg. But Lindsey Vonn back recovering here in the United States, the US Men's hockey team is back in the US as are the US Women's hockey team. And news just in that the US Women's hockey team, which won gold in the Winter Games, has declined an invitation from President Trump to attend tomorrow night's State of the Union address. In a statement, the team said they were sincerely grateful for the invitation. However, a variety of commitments, which includes some academic commitments, forced the team to miss tomorrow's State of the Union address.

[Steve Covino]

What does that mean, academic commitments?

[Sam]

There's some who are in school and they have to get back for school.

[Rich Davis]

Forget it. In my mind, I'm like, like, it's like, you know, when someone misses a big award show, like, what better are you doing? Like you're telling me I have social studies class next day. Is the reason you missed.

[Steve Covino]

I find political stake.

[Sam]

I don't know. I don't want to.

[Steve Covino]

It feels like it, though.

[Sam]

I think you guys are making it feel like that.

[Rich Davis]

Really? I actually think what takes priority over that?

[Steve Covino]

Something like that.

[Sam]

I think the logistics of everything. It's different to say, hey, on April 16th, we're going to meet at the White House. Let's get the team together. There's so I honestly think it's a legitimate excuse. I don't even know if the men are good. They have hockey games starting on Wednesday.

[Steve Covino]

Honestly, I'll take your word for it.

[Sam]

Well, apparently you guys, the guys should just miss the games on Wednesday because they got this invite. You know, that's the.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I guess you're right. But to me, though, in my, in my mind, whether it's Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, it doesn't matter if you're invited to the White House. I'm like, what, what else is on your house?

[Steve Covino]

It's not just like they're inviting you to a dinner to hang out again.

[Sam]

I think this is different than being invited to the White House. You hand him a jersey. This is to appear at the State of the Union on short notice. I think it's tricky if they turn down an invitation at another time. Maybe that can be political, but I just think the planning of it is just.

[Steve Covino]

I'm glad you cleared it up, because I would have automatically assumed otherwise.

[Sam]

Yeah, so. The Atlanta Falcons are expected to place the franchise tag on Ted and Kyle Pitts, which is worth more than $16 million in 2026. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team is leaning on placing the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens. Ohio State coordinator Matt Patricia is going to return in 2026. Timetable for Sun's guard Dylan Brooks to return to action from his broken hand is four to six weeks, according to espn, while NBA insider Chris Haynes says Jazz center Yusuf Nurkic will miss the rest of the season because he needs surgery on his nose. New rankings in men's and women's college hoops. UConn still the unanimous number one in the women's rankings. It's the 655th time Gino Oriemma's team has appeared in the poll. That's the most for any coach. And Duke is The new number one ranked team in this week's AP Top 25 Men's College Hoops Poll. Arizona. Former number one Michigan, who lost to Duke on Saturday, fell to third. Finally, Floyd Mayweather will fight Manny Pacquiao for the second time in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 19th. It'll be the first fight ever at the Sphere and be streamed on Netflix. Guys, back to you.

we are family Fox Sports Radio Willie Stargell Style I have a weird hot take and it's probably because of an obvious reason of not all games were recorded this way. But when you think of old school pirate games because pirates were brought up during last one standing, you never see any Roberto Clemente highlights. You see like the same few like a masterful throw from the outfield. You don't see a lot of Roberto Clemente highlights, man. You just don't.

[Rich Davis]

Why is it I don't know? I know where's my guy Bob Clemente. I know the throw you speak of, right? Legendary highlight of him throwing a rope.

[Steve Covino]

It's the only one you see for his impact in baseball and for Latino players. You would think there's more coverage of this guy easily accessible. I'm telling you, you don't. You see the same plays all the time. But anyway, like I said, that's the we are family era of the Pirates. Cabino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Clearly we're pumped for baseball. Of course it's really nice to see all those highlights between The Olympic gold over the weekend, all the fights and everything else. It's fun to see some spring training baseball and meaningful baseball starts March 4th through the 17th. WBC. But right now, again, hope you're having a great week so far.

of the new baseball season, can we incorporate something new on the show? Danny Queen, like, challenge each other for dumb things we say. Like, you know, could we just tap on our helmet, run back the tape? I think we. We gotta think of something. We'll think of something. Why?

[Steve Covino]

What happened?

[Rich Davis]

No, we got phone calls coming. I wanted that one.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, Rich, on this day, before we get to the phone calls, 41 years ago today, Indiana coach Bobby Knight tossed a chair on the court versus Purdue. And the memory still lives on. We could still picture it. And Doug Gottlieb, our very own former colleague Doug Gottlieb living in those 41 days ago.

[Danny G]

Yep, the tradition lives on.

[Rich Davis]

Who doesn't love a good chair toss? That was legendary. I remember that. We were little kids. You'd watch it on the highlights. All right, Danny, we got people on phones. What do people want to chat?

[Danny G]

A couple of the topics before the game. Like action heroes. Brad in Vegas wants to talk about that.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, Pat McAfee could be our next action hero. What's up, man?

[Rich Davis]

It's not crazy. What's up, man?

[Caller]

No. What's up, guys? This is Brian in Vegas. Not Brad, but okay. Danny G. It's okay. Go, go, Dodgers. Hey, no, no. Dave Bautista's last of, like, the meathead action heroes. Bruce Willis has always been my guy. Live for your Die Hard, the underrated movie. But if I think of Pat McAfee as an action hero, I. I gotta see it to believe it. I. I think more like he's like a Peyton Manning. Like, he could do funny commercials, maybe even do a rom com or two. But there's no way I can buy him as being an action star. What do you think?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I mean, listen, again. I'd have to see it. And then sometimes, like, huh, Like, I. I'll go back to the example I used an hour ago. Bob Odenkirk is hilarious and just a remarkable actor. Comedian. Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul. I didn't think he'd be Believable. In the movie. Nobody. I told you. He beats up a whole gang on a bus. And I believed it. And I was like, oh my God, like, you never know, right? I mean, Liam Neeson rom com guy, all of a sudden he's a star.

[Steve Covino]

But they're actors.

[Rich Davis]

I know what you're saying, but who else?

[Danny G]

We got one last quick call here. Thomas in Colorado wants to talk coaches clothing.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Tommy?

[Caller]

Hey, yeah, first time caller.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Thomas?

[Caller]

Longtime listener.

[Danny G]

30 seconds, buddy.

[Rich Davis]

What's up?

[Caller]

Yeah, you're on coaching. Ties are it. We should take our cues from the Italian Serie A soccer league. You look at them, they're in Armani suits and they're wearing ties.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, nothing wrong with looking classy. Yeah, I'm with you. There's nothing wrong with looking good. Do you have to rock the tie? I don't know. That's the compromise I'm willing to make. Am I wrong but I think you should step your game.

[Rich Davis]

Am I wrong by saying I remember old school Spoelstra wore a suit and then he was one of the guys that then transitioned to like, jumpsuit.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

And like, he might have been one of the last of the suited up coaches in my mind. We'll see you guys manana tomorrow.

[Steve Covino]

Iron Mike trivia for some prizes.

[Sam]

Perfect.

[Rich Davis]

We'll see you guys then. Arrivederci, baby.

[Steve Covino]
