Podcast Network: iHeartPodcasts / Fox Sports Radio
Hosts: Covino & Rich, with Monsé & Danny G

Overview

This episode dives headfirst into the wild parity overtaking the current NFL season. Covino and Rich riff on why “everybody stinks” and—much to their delight—why that means almost every fanbase can dream big, even mid-tier teams. The crew brings trademark banter and listener interaction, mixing in humor, relatable analogies, and sports pop culture callbacks. Lively crew members (including Monsé and Danny G) join in, and listener calls round out the group’s inclusive, off-the-cuff style.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Main Proclamation: It's Anyone’s Season

Time: 03:40 – 20:26

• Rich declares: “No one’s good. Everyone stinks. Your team has a chance” (06:00).
• NFL is in a rare state: no true dominant team. Anyone can get hot and make a playoff run.
• Covino coins it: “In the land of the blind, the cyclops is king” (09:34), meaning average teams are in play because no one’s elite.
• Injury updates across the league reinforce this chaos: “Everybody’s hurt in the NBA and the NFL. Did I mention everybody sucks?” (02:59).

Notable quote:

“In the land of suck, the average guy wins.” — Covino (09:44)

---

2. Are There Any True Contenders? Rapid-Fire Team Analysis

Time: 12:04 – 20:30

• They break down AFC and NFC, dismissing frontrunners:
  • AFC: Patriots (not “battle tested”), Bills (inconsistent), Ravens (no defense), Colts (reliant on Jonathan Taylor), Jaguars (doubtful), Broncos (up and down), Chiefs (on the edge).
  • NFC: Eagles look best but have “threads you can pull.” Lions, Bears, Packers all have huge question marks. Rams maybe, but Stafford’s age is a concern.
• Listener feedback echoes the uncertainty: “You can make an argument that any of those 14 teams could make a run if things go right.” — Covino (20:30)
• Week-to-week volatility (“You think a team stands out, they have a bunk game and take a big step backward”).

Notable reference:

“The Bills could break that tonight. And we’ll get to your feedback now.” (19:54)

---

3. Analogy Time: Parity in Sports & Life

Time: 07:17 – 11:16

• The crew weaves in analogies: dating (“a bunch of ugly dudes at the bar,” 07:38), workplace mediocrity, and even American Idol (“No one’s really that good...anyone’s chance,” 10:25).
• “If people are just average at your workplace or in your neighborhood, you could be the king of the duel of the toolbag.” — Covino (34:59)

---

4. Midseason Surprises — Fan Call-Ins and Reaction

Time: 31:14 – 39:27

• Listeners call in: a lifelong Lions fan (Mike from Vegas) laments “Jared Goff in cold weather is miserable” (32:18).
• Others mention teams like the Broncos or Bengals making unlikely runs.
• The guys check Vegas odds live, finding the Rams and Eagles co-favored; Bengals are huge longshots.

---

5. Lessons for Fans: Embrace the Parity

Time: 20:16 – 20:55; 33:55 – 34:46

• Covino reframes “no super team” as good news for fans: “Your team...they might be middle of the pack right now, they're still in it because no one's that dominant. It's good.” (20:17)
• Rich: “It’s actually a positive thought. ... Nobody’s that dominant this year at all.” (20:26)
• This mediocrity opens up hope: “If you got a dad bod and a belly, doesn’t matter if no one at the beach has abs.” — Covino (35:08)

---

6. Other Noteworthy Segments & Moments

Through energetic banter, relatable comparisons, and listener engagement, Covino & Rich underline that mediocrity doesn’t mean boring—it means no outcome is out of reach. For fans, that’s truly “good news, everybody!”

[C]

Don'T trust much of anything.

[B]

It's the rage bait.

[C]

It feels like it's trying to divide people. We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting.

Let's meet at the Facts.

[C]

Let's move forward from NBC News.

[B]

Are you ready to have some fun?

[C]

Let's go.

[B]

Look, let's be honest. Everybody stinks. The weather stinks. It's raining out here, Los Angeles. Everybody's hurt in the NBA and the NFL. Did I mention everybody sucks?

[C]

How's your day going?

[B]

That being said, we're here to have a super fun time. Yeah. Cause it's CNR time.

[C]

If you are just listening, you're missing out on the visuals.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Hi, everybody.

[C]

I got a sweet T shirt on.

[B]

It's YouTube.cominoenrich fsr covinoenrich fsr. So you could watch what you hear. You know what? You can also see Monos. But first, we be rocking out. Let's go.

[C]

All right. Hey. An anniversary of a tremendous sports movie and a Christmas movie. So we'll get to a couple things when we throw it back. Some baseball off season, some NBA injuries. But I want to start out by making a major proclamation.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[C]

Should I start by saying, like, hear ye. Hear you something?

[B]

Well, yeah, I would say that's the proper way. Do we have horns or trumpets or anything, Sam?

[C]

Some type of proclamation music of sorts. By the way, I was Sam in the house. Danny G. What's up, buddy boy?

[B]

Yay. If you want to chime in, Danny G's on standby. The smoothest, most buttery voice in all of radio. Hell of a guy living the dad life. Loving his Raiders, loving his Lakers. Even though Bronny got sent down today to the G League, he's loving his Lakers. Danny G's on the phones at 87799 on Fox. 87799 on Fox.

[C]

Danny G. What a juxtaposition. What a great word by the way, huh, Monsie? Proud of that word.

[A]

Is that a real word?

[C]

Juxtaposition?

[B]

I feel like he just learned it though, Monsie. Cuz he's used it like three times in the past two days.

[A]

Oh, it's like on his toilet paper. Yeah, you know, word of the day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Toilet paper. Word of the day.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

How dare you?

[B]

I mean, that's how it happens. I've known you for 20 years. Never use that word.

[A]

I still don't know if it's a real word.

[C]

I always think it's just the position. It's like a 10th grade learning word. Sorry.

[B]

It is.

[C]

It's my learning level. Danny G goes from rooting on the Dodgers, who dominate and have all these stars and win the World Series, and then he's like, go, Raiders. Like, why can you be more drastic in a.

[A]

That's balance. That is called balance.

[C]

Yeah, Danny G. That's the most balanced fandom I've ever seen. Like, one minute you're like, yo, Freddy Ohtani, Mookie Metz, and then you're like, Geno Smith. I guess Raiders keeps him humble.

[B]

Hey, the dream is Mark Walter can also add the Raiders to his portfolio.

[C]

You could. You could dream, my friend. So, hey, we're gonna get to a bunch. But my proclamation, I was. Sam, do you got some proclamation?

[B]

Music.

[C]

Hear ye, hear ye. Fox Sports Radio Nation. I have good news.

[B]

Introducing the greatest head in all the land. Oh, the man with the biggest noggin from here to Eternia. I don't know. We're an Eternian.

[C]

Dicky Doodle Davis.

[B]

I hear him.

[C]

Here to say good news, everyone. NFL fans of every team, you should be happy today, because I'm here to tell you no one's good. Everyone stinks. Your team has a chance. I've had a change of heart. My whole Nick Bose is out.

[B]

I was about to throw a tomato at you, but everybody has a chance is what you're saying.

[C]

My whole sentiment of Fred Warner's out. Bose is out. How many Niners, I guess next year? No, no, I changed my mind. They have a chance. You know who else has a chance? Everyone else in the league. Unless you're maybe the Titans, the Giants, jets, or I don't know who else. The Cardinals.

[B]

Can you give me a little credit, though? I want a little credit here. This is Rich's proclamation. I'm not trying to take away, but we just came back from Arizona. Yeah. And we watched Rich's 49ers dominate. Granted, it's the Cardinals, I get it. But offensively, they could be really explosive. They were clicking with Purdy immediately. They're only going to click more and more, I would imagine, if they could stay healthy with what they got. And Rich was down in the dumps, as your mom would say about down the defense. Playing bad or not playing bad, but you know, suffering from injury. But if you look around the rest of the league, if you listen to Monty Bolanos, everybody's hurt. Nobody's playing 100.

[C]

I just heard you say that Daniel Jones got an ankle thing going on now, a calf. So, like, everyone is banged up and no one's that good. I'll give you the analogy. If you go to a bar, try to pick up some booty and you look around and it's a bunch of ugly dudes, an ugly dude has a chance then because there's no good looking dudes as your competition.

[B]

That's a weird analogy.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Yeah, but I'm with you. I followed.

[C]

But my point is a bunch of tortas.

[B]

And Rich was sort of like, man, the 49ers look pretty good, right? And he gave me the right. And I'm like, dude, honestly, if they keep it up, they have just as much of a chance as anybody this year to win. And I feel like I got in his head a little bit because he didn't want to. He didn't want to get too ahead of himself. But I think I, I sort of confirmed what you were feeling, right?

[C]

Perpetuated a thought that I sort of had a little bit, which was, you know what? Maybe every team does have a chance. Now, I don't want to ruin my own theory, but there are a couple teams that I'm like, yeah, they're pretty good. I don't think they're unbeatable. The thing is there, we've lived in times where you were like, all right, it's Brady or Manning. We lived in times where it's like Seattle's defense or, you know, the Chiefs. We've lived in times where there are certain teams that guaranteed you could punch their ticket to the AFC or NFC championship. Right now it is as open as could possibly be. This is like, I'm telling you, look around the league and tell me one team you would like put your money on. I dare you. Maybe the Rams. But Matthew Stafford's old. He's any given moment, he's a good dude. His kids go to the same place as my kids go. There's a question mark.

[B]

There's a question mark for all these teams. But even the Patriots, who are hot right now, every team's a quarterback, little.

[C]

Stumble away from an ankle high ankle sprain, no one's that great. So my point is, if you're like, my team's good, but I guess this is not the year. The minute you think maybe the. Maybe the packers are great, they're wishy washy. The Lions even, perfect. Who is running the boards here? Who is always like, lions, Lions, Lions. He's like, yeah, they're just a Regular team this year. And I go, yeah, so is everyone else. You tell me the Bears are in first place. You tell me Caleb Williams going to win a Super Bowl.

[B]

Get out of here.

[C]

And if he does?

[B]

My mom used to say it's an old, like, Mexican saying or something, or maybe, I don't know, in Spanish it sounds better. It's one of those. In the land of the blind, the cyclops is king.

[C]

Your mom made that up.

[B]

No, but she would say things like that because she's weird. But it's true, right? The average team is the best. You don't have to be that good this year to really stand out that much. It's anybody's league when everyone stinks the way they're stinking when there's no consistency and every team is suffering with injury. In the land of suck, the average guy wins. The average team is the best one out there.

[C]

I mean, I don't need to do my usual Colin Cowherd and give you 35 analogies. Stars, but stars, it goes to dating, boxing, the workplace, anything, honestly.

[B]

The Cyclops.

[C]

The Cyclops. It's always been my go to analogy. But think about it. If there's a division of boxing where there's no dominant champion, everyone's mediocre, then it's. You go through a lull in that division. We've seen it happen in a. On a. On a reality show, right? Let's do that. How about that? There have been years where there's a clear winner. No one watches anymore. But remember back in the day, I was like, all right, Kelly Clarkson's going to win. She's great. Or Carrie Underwood, she's a star. Then there's seasons where it's like, no one's really that good. So I guess it's anyone's chance.

[B]

Is that how Taylor Hicks won? Because I never understood that after that, you stopped watching the guy, like, 55 years old doing the twist. And he won that season.

[C]

He was probably your age now, but he just felt old.

[B]

How the hell that guy win? How did that guy win?

[A]

He was one of the people. He was one of. You know, he was. People are like, he's one of us.

[B]

Or maybe, maybe to tie it into the season, no one was really that good. So it didn't require much to win that season.

[C]

So.

[B]

And that's what we're saying about the NFL right now as it stands.

[C]

All right, tell me, tell me. Go around the room of the. Of my court, since I am making a proclamation.

[B]

Give the music. Sam Samuel, people of Fox Bros. Radio. We welcome the lamest of the lame, the corniest of the corny, the yappiest of the yappy. It's Sticky Doodle Davis. Sorry.

[C]

Well, you know what? I want everyone in the room right now to tell me I'm sorry. Oh man. If I was the king, I'd have you. I'd put you in the guillotine into.

[B]

The pit with those bloodthirsty sons of Moor.

[C]

I put your head on a spike.

[B]

I have an announcement. We have found a witch. May we burn.

[A]

How did you have that so fast?

[C]

I got all kinds of drugs. No, you don't realize that I wasm has a medieval soundboard that he breaks out once in a while. So go through the AFC first, right? I'm gonna give you a couple teams. You tell me with a straight face of you like, yup, guaranteed divisional or championship round. New England. You think?

[B]

No, they're not battle tested yet.

[C]

They're good.

[B]

They're not battle tested.

[C]

They're good.

[B]

They turned it around. And you can't really say with 100% conf that you believe a young quarterback that he's ready for that. That's all I'm saying. Like he's not proven yet.

[C]

As far as battle tested, Drake Maine is adorable. Wife got a young.

[B]

Yeah, great dude playing, great MVP chance all around, not trying to take anything away. I don't know if I'm believing the hype yet because of the battle testing, young quarter, young quarterback. Anything's possible. Careful, you might get a Cam Newton headline.

[C]

Buffalo.

[B]

I thought to a round. I thought it inconsistent.

[C]

I thought this was the year.

[B]

What Buffalo team are you getting? What if Josh Allen has another six touchdown performance tonight? Well, then they're on the right track.

[C]

And they're on the right track. But if Buffalo tonight somehow squeaks by or has like an average mediocre game against Houston, this will prove my. My sentiment, right? All right. I'm not convinced. Go to the north. Pittsburgh's falling apart. Aaron Rodgers looks like old man Winter more and more every day. That honestly that team should live in a cupboard with old Mother Hubbard. They want golden tired. Shut up. Baltimore sneaking up. But Baltimore doesn't have a good defense.

[B]

Someone take his crown away.

[C]

Indianapolis again.

[B]

Daniel Jones hurt.

[C]

Really fun story, but Daniel Jones might be a little banged up and that'll play a factor. And Jonathan Taylor, ooh, we're banking on him to just not have any hiccups, right?

[B]

Well, here's the truth about that though. I mean, I'm a big Daniel Jones Supporter. I just want to see him do well. I always felt bad of his situation.

[C]

Oh, you felt bad when you felt bad he had that breakaway run for the Giants and fell on his face.

[B]

That was second to like the butt fumble to me. For real. Like, that was so embarrassing. I was horrible. That team rides and dies with Taylor. Really does. Like, he sets the tone. I'm not saying Daniel Jones isn't important. I think he's great. Yeah, but they'll be fine. Let him get healthy. I don't know how serious this injury is, but it is Taylor's team right now.

[C]

No one. No. People don't talk enough about Irsay's daughter, like on the sideline, really being involved. Like, I feel like she's not getting enough love because I feel like it was really mocked and criticized at first.

[B]

Well, she's not running things. She's just observing.

[C]

But she's. They're 8 and 2 and she's really involved and learning on the job, but also seems to have inside. Like that was. That was probably mocked in a lot of NFL circles and now it's like, yeah, mocking it. Now she's, you know, I think that's a pretty cool story. No one's talking about. All right. Not convinced, though. Jacksonville, as you said in our pre show meeting, Monsie, unless Trevor Lawrence is playing the Chargers every week, then I don't believe it.

[A]

I don't believe it either.

[C]

Denver, week to week, we say, Bo Nick sucks and then he's the man. Then he sucks and he's the man. Colin Cowherd 2 weeks ago was like, Sean Payton needs to find a new QB. Now, like that's we're having a conversation about. And then Kansas City, if they lose against the Colts this week, they're done. So no AFC team stands out. Point made, Rich.

[B]

I know.

[C]

All right, let's go to the nfc. Eagles look pretty good, but there's rumblings that like, Jalen Hurts is unhappy and they're like they're not pleased with him.

[A]

There's like a thread you can pull, you know, like that they can unwind.

[C]

You remember, it's a couple of years ago. Remember a couple of years ago? I think they started the season, correct me if I'm wrong, like 11 and 1 or 12. 1. And then they unraveled and lost in the wild card round. Very capable of unraveling. Nick Sirianni is passionate, but that passion could turn to disarray quickly. No one else in that division is making the playoffs. The Bears with Caleb Williams, I'm really impressed by the story.

[B]

Well, hold on. Here's the cool part about them. If we're trying to be fair, it feels like they're improving every week. Yeah, I feel like they're getting better and better. Right. So that's, that's a positive. But I mean, are you sold on them? I don't know know what I'm sold on.

[C]

I'm sold on that Black Friday game. I know you're going to be at Walmart trying to, you know, get new socks or something.

[B]

It is a sale on gold toes.

[C]

Camino's gonna be going to get gold toe socks. You'll all be watching what I think is going to be the game of the NFC year so far, which is the Eagles and the Bears on Black Friday. That is a telling game. If that's close, then my goodness, I don't know what to tell you. So, Bears, what a hell of a good story. Chicago, Congratulations. The Packers, 6, 3 and 1. Respectable. But I mean, Jordan Love is suspect.

[B]

Week to week, whereas Colin. Josh Jacobs, banged up. I hit Colin on the treadmill every once in a while. He's like, you know, they do suffer from an identity problem. Like, who are the Packers? Who are they? They try to go at a run game and Love improvises and they.

[C]

Jacob Jacobs is banged up. Matt lafore.

[B]

Like, they don't. They're not. Again, another team with no identity, no consistency.

[C]

Matt LaFleur is being questioned for the first time. Like, ooh, is he the guy? And by the way, I just pictured you and Colin on side by side treadmills. You meant you listened to him while you're on the trip. You said you hit him up.

[B]

I thought you meant you texted him. No, I go to 24 Hour Fitness. You think he's going to 24 Hour Fitness?

[C]

He's an Equinox guy for sure.

[B]

Definitely an Equinox. He's a home gym kind of guy.

[C]

Detroit, my goodness, I really love that team. Not as a fan, but I enjoy watching Detroit. But something's just not. Something's not clicking personnel wise or something. It just perfect.

[B]

Is our resident Honolulu Blue fan. What do you say? They're just another team this year.

[C]

I think the play calling for the Lions is obviously they lost Ben Johnson.

[B]

We thought at first that they were.

[C]

Going to be fine because they were scoring a lot of points, great points. But in some of their losses, they've not put up much at all. You can't lose the best offensive coordinator in the game to, you know, a head coaching position. Expect that next in line. They do have amazing personnel though.

[B]

Also they got the guys. Also that old criticism of golf not being able to play in the cold is under pressure.

[C]

Yeah. But there's a whole bunch of dome.

[B]

Games coming up for golf.

[C]

They may emerge. And what's the sentiment now in the, in the South? Baker struggling, going through a bad streak for the first time. So the Bucks aren't playing well. In fact, the Bucks this week are underdogs to who they are playing. The Rams. They're playing the Rams in LA. So the Bucks may drop to 6 and 5. So point being, there you go. Still not convinced anyone's good except maybe Philadelphia. And they're like you said, they're one little, one little thing away from unraveling because they have that capability right now. I still don't believe in the Seahawks when I should. I think my Niners are right there with them. The Rams might be the only team. And I hate to say that I'm an, I'm a New York guy, I'm a Niners fan. I live in la. I don't know. Rams might be it. This might be Matthew Stafford's chance to be like I'm a two time super bowl champ. Call it a day.

[B]

But because as of right now, still is true. It's anybody's season.

[C]

Anybody, anyone that counted their team out like because my sentiment all along was like, I'm a Niners fan.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

They'll sneak into the playoffs as maybe like the second or third wild card. And you know what will happen? They'll probably get, they'll probably get bounced in the wild card or divisional rounds. But you know what? I'm not so sure anymore. They're 7 and 4, not so sure anymore.

[B]

Defense not too shabby.

[C]

And the Niners could. Are very well going to be 10 and 4. Then they have a couple tough games. But you know the Niners play over the next three weeks, Panthers.

[B]

I believe.

[C]

The Titans and the Browns like three weak ass games with the Niners if they, if they don't win. Yeah. The 49ers play the Panthers, Browns and Titans. You should be 10 and 4. Then all of a sudden even, even if you're not the team everyone's talking about, you don't think Brock Purdy has a couple weeks to tune up.

[B]

We're seeing a lot of mediocrity. Injury has a big part of that inconsistency, like I said before, another major part of that and it's just so much back and forth. The Bills could break that tonight. And we'll get to your feedback now. 877-99-FOX. Your thoughts. It's actually a positive thought.

[C]

It's a great.

[B]

Your team. Even though, hey, they might be middle of the pack right now, they're still in it because no one's that dominant. It's good. Nobody's that dominant this year at all.

[C]

It's good news, everybody.

[B]

Everybody's vulnerable. Everybody's beatable. Is anybody's league.

[C]

14 teams make the postseason. You can make an argument that any of those 14 teams could make a run if things go right. I think this is the most parody we've ever seen in the NFL as far as no team really standing out. The minute you think a team stands out, they have a bunk game and take a big step backwards. We've seen it with every team that looks good. So dare I say good news, NFL fans? Your team is. Is in it.

[B]

Do you want horns to play you out or no?

[C]

I think I'm good.

[B]

Oh, you sure you don't want them horns?

[C]

I would. Sam.

[B]

[C]

[B]

[C]

Ah, yes.

[B]

[C]

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

[B]

[C]

Let me know if you agree or disagree. The number is 87799 on Fox. We're the most interactive show here. So if you want to call up and tell me I'm full of baloney.

[B]

You'Re dead on with this one.

[C]

Then, hey, I would love to hear from you. If you agree with me, you're pretty smart because I think I'm right on this one. So is there parody in the NFL like never before where you don't see a standout team? Let us know. Again, 87799 on Fox. We'll talk a bunch more. NFL Today, it's the anniversary of one of the greatest movie franchise of planet Earth. We will pay tribute to a legendary film. It's a film, dude. It's not just a movie.

[B]

I hate to say it, but I.

[C]

Don'T trust much of anything.

It's the rage bait.

It feels like it's trying to divide people we got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting.

[B]

No, I stink.

[C]

You don't got the skill set?

[B]

Nah, hell no. I'm a Jersey guido who lives in la. You think I was on ice skates growing up?

[C]

I don't want to tease anything, but are you. Are you like Rocky Balboa?

[B]

Yeah, absolutely.

[C]

Walking around the skating rink with Adrian.

[B]

Yeah. My parents never took me ice skating. Never once in my life, I'd be the kid at Rockefeller Center.

[C]

Like I want to be down there skating.

[B]

No one ever took me.

[C]

Truth?

[B]

How is it's not my fault. No one ever took me in my entire life. And then as I got older, you know, I took my kid a few times and I wore my sneakers like Rocky.

[C]

What about you, Muncie? Was that my skater or what? You ice skate?

[A]

I can ice skate. I'm not the greatest, but I can do it. I rollerblade better than I ice skate. I can't stop when I ice skate. I just crash into the wall. That's how you do it, right?

[C]

I always admired Tonya Harding's just desire to win.

[B]

Sure. I'll tell you what. I'm going to learntosateusa.com right now.

[C]

Anything.

[B]

All right. Triple salchow, double toe loop.

[C]

You know what we need on this show? We need our very own Jeff Gillooly. We need a goon. Like, if anyone messes with us, we send Gillooly after him.

[B]

I'll say we got you, but yeah, now, I know. I know what you mean. Why?

[C]

Why? Why, Monty? Are you too young to remember Nancy Kerrigan? And Tonya Harding.

[A]

No, I know the story. Of course I did.

[B]

Did you guys see I Tonya?

[C]

I did. I thought it was pretty good. That was such a glamor casting. You think Tonya Harding looks like Margot Robbie? Get out of town. It's like when Kevin James dates hot women in his movies.

[A]

Well, it's like when what is her.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

I'm blinking. Monster.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

She does not look like that. Charlize Theron.

[B]

They put all. Yeah, they take her eyebrows away. They make her look like a freak.

[A]

She looks like a monster.

[B]

I should see that movie. I'm not seeing it, but I know.

[C]

What she looks like in the movie.

[B]

We're Covino and Rich. You could see what you hear. COVINO and Rich FSR on YouTube. COVINO Enrich FSR on YouTube. 20 minutes.

[C]

I'm sorry. Go ahead.

[B]

My bad. I was just gonna say in 20 minutes. We do it every Thursday, old school when 50 hits. So we throw it back and reminisce. And like Rich said earlier, it has to do with a very famous movie that came out on this day. We'll get to that. We need your involvement 87799 on Fox to chime in. And of course we're chatting live on our YouTube stream. Covino and Rich FSR. And of course Rich has your Thursday night foosball picks. But to wrap up our first discussion, we'll take some phone calls. But it really is anybody's NFL season more so than ever before. That's just facts.

[C]

I'm reading the feedback, by the way. This computer has the speed of my AOL dial up in 1998.

[B]

My compact Presario had the same. No, my Hewlett Packard. I had a gateway that was faster than that, literally.

[C]

Remember when you would download a really safer work photo and it would take like line after line to get the picture. This is the slowest computer of all time. But I did see that Wes hit us up and he goes, Dr. Jones has a chance, man. Colin in Canada hit us up. Up said, what about the Broncos, man? Are we downplaying them? Vegas hit us up saying the Bucks are going to beat the Rams this weekend and Baker gets back on track. You watch and new phone who this hit us up on the intro and said, Burrows coming back. Bengals are going to win every game down the stretch and win that bunk division and go on to win the whole thing.

[B]

Oof.

[A]

That would be the story.

[C]

I wonder what that prop bet would be in Vegas right now. What's the future on the Bengals winning the Super Bowl.

[B]

It really is. Who gets hot right now? Who gets hot right now? And it could start with the Bills, like we said tonight. We'll see.

[C]

Let's go to Mike in Vegas. What's up, Mike?

[B]

Hey, guys. Longtime listener, first time caller, just said work schedule. I love the show. I'm a Lions fan of 60 years old lifetime of frustration. But my comment is that I think Jared Goff in cold weather is miserable. I don't know if you guys watched before the game Sunday where he had two gloves on. Anytime a quarterback's wearing two gloves, I never like that I will say going down.

[C]

It's so funny you would say that.

[B]

My brother had such a problem.

[C]

We watch that game with Covino's brother. You make it sound like he's 12, he's 30 something.

[B]

He's like, yo, I, I don't get why he just has those gloves on, you know, like take him off. Is he cold or something? How you throw spirals with two gloves, you know?

[C]

Yeah, the guys come on.

[B]

It was noticeable.

[C]

Man up, Jared. But Mike, what are you thinking then if not your Lions, who do you. Who do you feel like might have an edge? Because at this point I feel like no one does.

[B]

I think in the division, I think it's. It's wide open in the north. The thing that scares me is the Lions do finish on the road in Chicago. So again, the glove wearing Jared off will be quarterbacking. We'll see what happens.

[C]

Can I tell you that right now I was sort of right, which doesn't shock me. I just looked at the Vegas odds which have been updated and the Rams are now the favorite to win the super bowl in Las Vegas.

[B]

Really?

[C]

The Rams and The Eagles, the two team, the Rams and the Eagles are plus 550. And then after that, you got the Bills, Colts, Lions, Chiefs. There's a handful of teams that are about plus 8, 900 or so.

[B]

But by the way, Rich, the Bengals plus 30,000 to win the Super Bowl. Happening.

[C]

You want to get. Want to get co. Is college tuition. Let's. Let's do it.

[B]

Let's go. And how did we get here? We were at the 49ers game this weekend and I was like, yeah, man, why not? Why not the 49ers? Because I'm changed his mind. And honestly, why not? Why not Any team that's playing decent.

[C]

Right now, I'm the fan that discounted my team the minute Fred Warner went down. When Bosa went down, I'm like, maybe they could overcome when Fred Warner, the heart and soul of the defense went down. I'm like, yeah, it's just not going to happen.

[B]

But it's a great opportunity in life, right? When you see a bunch of average people or mediocrity or no one really taking the bull by the horns, like, that's a great time for somebody to step up at the company. In the dating pool, how many girls, we always say, how many beautiful women in Texas are with a bunch of goobers? Right? That's a great time for you to go there and dominate.

[C]

I feel like that's sort of a sneak disk because my wife's from Texas.

[B]

I know, but we had that thought. No, we had that thought watching America's Sweetheart. And every time we go south, we see beautiful women with like, dopey looking.

[C]

Hey, listen, what's up, Texas?

[B]

Point is, if people are just average at your workplace or in life or in your neighborhood, you could be the king of the dual of the tool bag. So I'm just trying to be nice here.

[C]

Yeah, well, I, I said it before. If you got a, if you got a dad bod and a belly, doesn't matter if no one at the beach has abs.

[A]

And sometimes even if somebody does have abs, doesn't matter.

[C]

It doesn't mean.

[B]

Doesn't mean somebody, somebody in the NFL has to step up and it could be your team.

[C]

Guys, we could have some good. We could have some good playoff parties at my house. Are we down or what?

[B]

What's. I'm.

[C]

I'm pumped this January.

[A]

Yeah, I wouldn't dismiss the Panthers.

[C]

I got the heated. I got the heated pool in the hot tub now.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, okay.

[C]

Telling you, it's going to be fun. We're going to have a great football playoff season. I can't wait.

[A]

Let's go.

[C]

You. You said don't discount who the Panthers.

[A]

In your next matchup.

[C]

You know Big Mike, the guy that runs this place? Who?

[B]

Mike?

[C]

He's a. He's the. He's the lone Panther's head.

[B]

I know. Never heard of him. You know, Mike, he looks like, like Stone, Stone old Steve Austin.

[C]

Stone old.

[B]

We love Mike. He runs.

[C]

Mike Stone old. Him and I, we have a taco bet.

[A]

Nice.

[C]

He's like, how about my Panthers gonna whoop your Niners? And we bet a whole Whopping Taco Tuesday $5. I love that. That's great.

[A]

That's great.

[C]

If they lose to the Panthers, I will be bummed. But then again, that would.

[A]

If that happens, have not been ass. They have not been asked.

[C]

They're six and five. Right. And if the Rams beat the bucks and the 49ers get upset by the Panthers, we're looking at like, these teams are right there together. And who would have thunk that?

[A]

Who would have thunk it?

[C]

I don't want to overdo it, which I am. So you could. You could make fun of me, but again, you would never in a million years have thought going into Week 12 that the Patriots, the Steelers, the Colts, the Broncos, the Bears.

[B]

Of those.

[C]

Yeah, we're talking six of the eight divisions. You would be like, no way. That's the team that's leading. The only thing that's sort of predictable is you thought the Bucks would be in control of their division only by a half game. You thought the Rams and the Niners might be going head to head. So that's not shocking. The only one that's sort of playing the way you think is Philly, because they're just the best team in that division. If I'm a Washington fan, that might. You might be the most let down of any team. I know the injuries are substantial injuries.

[B]

Period in life and in every sport. But I got to tell you about the NBA in a few minutes. And Monty, I'm sorry to say this, but the way your Chargers started the.

[A]

Season, don't get me started.

[B]

I feel like the Chargers fans should be the most let down right now.

[A]

I do feel very let down. Joe losing Joe Alt twice was a big hit. But, like, yeah, it's like you guys said, no one, no one. I trust no one. And everyone is inconsistent.

[B]

Joel, Control. Alt.

[C]

Delete.

[B]

Wow. You like that? You like that? Because he's, like, insignificant right now.

[A]

I do like that.

[C]

Joe Alt. When you with that team, with or without Joe Alt.

[B]

Delete that from the podcast.

[C]

Joe Alt. Delete. It's a good one.

[B]

It's good. Rich just got. Steve's coming up with just good one after good one. Yeah, man, I'm on fire right now. Stone old.

[C]

Steve Austin. Stone old. Just got him.

[B]

You know what? In a room full of mediocrity, it's not that hard. Sam. Wow.

[C]

What did I do to you? We've pointed out that in the sports world, there's not many funny people. So, like, you don't need to be Cedric the Entertainer to make people laugh in the sports world. Facts. So Joe Alt, when he plays or doesn't, I almost said, is he. Does he play the role of five linemen?

[A]

Because when he feels that way, because.

[C]

Danny, you were saying this the other day. I got to give you credit where credit's due, you were like, yo, without Joe Alt, they're miserable. But when Joe Alts in there, like, he is effective.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He's like a security blanket.

[B]

And even though Geno Smith is bad under pressure, without Colton Miller, same thing for the Raiders. The Raiders have suffered from the same thing the Chargers have suffered from. A revolving door on the O line. And it just goes to show you, if you can't protect your quarterback or your quarterback can't run half the time, you are dead.

[C]

There's a handful of guys like that that, you know, the only guy that used to get credit for being that effective, you guys, you named two of them just there. But my dude, big Trent Williams, like you would. They would talk about how, like, if he's on the. He alone could protect the quarterback somehow. Joe Alt. Is that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

All right, well, you know. There she is. Monty Blanos. What's going on, buddy?

[B]

Not just any Monty Belanos. The most popular anchor in all federal prisons. Monte Blanzi.

[C]

Can you please read the DM you got? This is great.

[B]

She's. She's huge in the big house.

[A]

I got a DM. I don't check my DMs very often, but I happen to check right now, and I got one last night that says, just letting you know, people in federal prison love your updates on Fox Sports Radio because you tell all of the scores with pizzazz and spunk.

[B]

Facts.

[C]

Signed P. Diddy. Wow.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Didn't Andy Dufresne take down his Farrah Fawcett poster and put a Monty Bolano?

[C]

So he did.

[B]

I believe he did. Eddie the French.

[C]

That's Monty Belano.

[A]

Stop. Stop. But no.

[C]

Great.

[A]

I'm glad I could, you know, bring.

[C]

Some joyous old fuzzy britches.

[B]

It's nice to know Suge Knight listens to our network. Thank you.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Right. See you guys. We reach the masses. Week 12 of the NFL is going to kick off soon from Houston Texans and bills. That's at 8:15 Eastern Time. Bills have elevated wide receiver Gabe Davis for tonight's game. Also, Texans running back Joe Mixon is not expected to return this season because of his foot injury. So there goes my fantasy pick. He's been on my IR this time for a second straight day. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was a full participant. Participant in practice. Cincinnati hosts the Patriots this Sunday. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice after missing yesterday with an ankle issue. When it comes to the NBA king center Demontes Sabonis suffered a partially torn meniscus in his left knee. So he is going to be reevaluated in three to four weeks. Lakers are firing Joey and Jesse Buss. Yes, the brothers to Jeanie Buss. She's going to continue her role as a team governor but they have fired their front bus brothers. Joey served as the alternate governor and vice president of research and development. Jesse was the assistant general manager under Rob Pelinka. And we were talking about skating.

[B]

All right. On this day in 1976, great year, bicentennial. Best year. Rocky had its premiere in New York City. And the streets of New York City were buzzing about this film.

[C]

Yeah, if you've watched any Stallone documentary, this wasn't the opening of the movie nationwide. This was that New York City premiere where Stallone saw the line wrapped around the block and people buzzing and talking about it. And in that moment, he said, like, yo, like, I knew my life was gonna change. He knew in that moment that this movie was not only well received, people immediately were saying, oscar worthy. Is this guy Sylvester Stallone a star? A guy that they didn't even want to star in this movie. Remember when, when he wrote the movie, they're like, yeah, we'll buy the script. But yeah, not you.

[B]

And he sold everything he had to make it happen.

[C]

He sold Butkus the dog.

[B]

He was the real underdog story. Right. And now they're making a biopic about him. So on this day, it came out in New York. So much buzz, such success, that the next day. Right. It continued to open in more theaters in New. They opened it up in New York City the next day, and then for the whole country at the start of December. But this is when the Rocky hype began. On this day in 76. So we have a theory. I can't say everybody, but most people have a different ranking when it comes to the Rocky movies.
