A
Nice.
B
That I think you will agree with. We give Trevor Lawrence too much crap for not making it further than he has at this stage of his life.
A
Okay. All right. I want to open up the phones to Danny G's on standby. Waiting just to say hi. 877-99-FOX. Danny G is our super producer. No relation to Warren, but Kenny is a distant uncle. We got Iowa Sam. We got low and crown. We got spot on the videos. Thank you, guys. We got people chiming in. By the way, Rick, before you read your list, I want to say hello to a lot of people on the live chat. Live chat, live stream is popping. Where'd it go.
B
It's popping.
D
Where to go?
A
I just see us. I see us. You know what? We're going to keep you on hold about that list that Rich compiled here. We're going to say hello to some people. I'll pull up the chat now. 87799 on Fox. Who we got?
E
Danny G. Let's go to Austin, Texas. Tim wants to weigh in about the New York Football Giants.
A
Huh?
B
Timmy. Tim, what's up, bud?
D
Yo, we got four, four, six in the trap, man. That's what I'm talking about. I know we had a losing season again this year. It's been going on for about, I think 10 or 11 seasons. Ever since we lost Eli, you know, it hasn't been the same. But, man, I think if we get like John Harbaugh or a coach that can like set a role for the team because Jackson Dart needs to get his head on straight because he can't be taking hits like that. And that defense with Dual Carter just sitting on the bench and doing whatever he wants during team meetings, that, that got to go. He got to be traded or he need a coach in there. Maybe we trade for Tom Coughlin. I don't know. Give him all the draft picks. I don't care. We need some help, please.
B
The right coach can make all the difference.
A
All the difference. By the way, Wes from Idaho chiming in. Scott for mayor says, do NFL coaches have big buyouts, like college coaches? After show but later, Terry Banker says he bets. Danny G wants Harbaugh in Vegas. I think he does. Lisa's hanging. NW K Rain 19 thank you guys for chatting live. Join the fun. COVINO and Rich FSR you could watch us live in Vegas. COVINO Enrich FSR on YouTube so Rich is saying that there's a bunch of new timers, first timers in the playoffs. Drake May, Bo Nick, Sam Darnold, Caleb Williams. And now we're saying that we've been really hard on Trevor Lawrence like you said.
B
Some think we haven't been hard enough because he came with such an expectation. He's 26 years old and he's only in year five. He is a young dude. Trevor Lawrence is a young man in life, 26.
A
And he just got older just that quick.
B
There are guys, I think. Did I say 25?
A
Yeah.
B
No, 26.
A
He's 26.
B
Year five. I said year five. There are guys that did it a little sooner, made it to their first Super Bowl. Elway made it in his fourth year but didn't win one until he Was way older. Like you said in the documentary, we.
A
Live in the world of grand opening, grand closing.
B
You know, we are.
A
It's just the truth.
B
We all expect everyone to be Tom Brady. That he just steps in a pile of poo a la Patrick Mahomes too, where he takes over for Alex Smith and within a year or so it's like, tada, Super Bowl. And that's just not realistic. That's reserved for the Tom Brady or the Patrick Mahomes. The guy that comes around every, you know, once in a lifetime, twice in a lifetime. Montana, year three, another exception. But besides that, Favreau, his sixth year. Aaron Rodgers, year number six, Peyton Manning, year number nine, Matthew Stafford, wasted away for a decade in Detroit. Year 13, he got it done with the Rams. Drew Brees, his eighth year. Eli Manning lucked out in his fourth year against the Patriots. So all these, all these big time quarterbacks that have won Super Bowls in our life are no further ahead for the most part than Trevor Lawrence. If Trevor Lawrence went on a run this year, which there are some people saying that they might be the team to beat, and if Trevor Lawrence wins one this year, I don't think it's a, oh, we knew he'd come around. I think it's, oh, right on time.
A
Yeah, no good for him, man. He's having a season for sure. No question. Look, I think we just live in the world of, to quote Ronnie Chang, we do it often. Prime. Now we want instant gratification, instant results. You know, the minute we press order, we want it to show up at our door. And we expected immediate results from this kid. And that's just how we feel about most of these young quarterbacks. Sometimes it takes a minute, that's all.
E
Their head coach, Liam Cohen, should get a lot of credit. And he said, and this is right exactly with what you guys are talking about, quarterbacks need time to put it all together. Noting that several factors played a role in his quarterback's development. He says Trev has definitely been playing at a high level. I mean, when I first got here, we had a lot of open, honest conversations about what his goals were, where he wanted to go with it and what direction he wanted his career to go. And yet took a little bit of time. And that's why so many of these quarterbacks need that time.
A
Yeah, I mean, look, you think Patrick Mahomes would have came out slinging it, you know, if he didn't have the luxury of playing behind Alex Smith? Yeah, we don't know. Right.
B
We talk about a Lot of times where you end up. And I know that's it matters. I'm not going to have that boring conversation. It's been done a million times in sports radio and tv.
A
But it is nice to see.
B
But those early round picks have to be judged a little differently than a late round pick like Brock Purdy.
C
Mr.
B
Irrelevant. I back this guy up all the time, but I will say he lands on a Kyle Shanahan offense on a team that was ready Mahomes. A later round draft pick, meaning later in the first round, but not pick number one. So you end up on a team that's like, we're almost there. Come on, Patrick Mahomes.
A
When you're Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love had some. Some time developed.
B
Jordan Love got to chill.
A
Remember they were.
B
Oh, wait, they. Yeah, exactly.
A
Learn a little bit. Like, he didn't have that.
B
There's a big difference in being the first or second overall pick than being drafted in the middle of the first or second round. Because where you end up does matter. And Trevor Lawrence is finally getting there now with the right coach. Right?
A
So, hey, I wish I will. I don't want to harp on this too long, dude.
B
Even Tom Brady, by the way, Tom Brady went on a team where Drew Bledsoe was like an MVP candidate. The, you know, the Patriots were really good. And Tom Brady just reaps the benefits, unfortunately, of a Drew Bledsoe injury. Now, if Tom Brady was the first overall pick and played for some bunk team in the early 2000s, would Tom Brady be hoisting all those Lombardies?
A
It'd be a big time. It'd be a big difference.
B
It's all circumstantial.
A
Speaking of coaches, something Rich and I were just talking about on our ride here to the Vegas studios. Kevin Stefanski is no longer with the Browns. Right. And there's rumors of Deion Sanders. Murmurs, whispers. Yeah, just like social media.
B
Dion to Cleveland.
A
I'm just saying, speaking of head coaches and the difference they make, do you think it'd be weird playing for your dad or Because Shador Sanders dad is Deion Sanders, that it doesn't matter because he's one of the goats and he just garners so much respect and he's so proud of his dad. Like, look, Deion Sanders is not your dad. He's not. Not my dad. Like, so playing or working for our dads would be awkward? Probably. Would there be awkwardness there for Shador? Is that just a really cool story?
B
I mean, Big Steve's cool and my dad Greg. I mean, he's right. He's. He's. He's.
A
He's like, they don't have a cool dance.
B
Yeah, He's. His name is in prime time.
A
Exactly.
B
Yeah. My dad.
A
Your dad wore neon in the 80s, but he's not Neon Dion.
B
I. I'll say this as a dad myself. And as we speak, this coming weekend, even though we're in football mode, I have to go to evaluations and coaches meetings for the upcoming baseball and softball season for my kids. I'm coaching. I try so desperately not to do as they call Daddy ball, where you, like, you never want to give your kid special treatment. And it's also tough because if you're a parent that coaches your kids, you know this deal, your kids will listen to anyone but you. So you have to tell another coach, like, handle my kid because my kid doesn't want to listen to dad.
A
Is it awkward for the other players?
B
Well, that's what I'm saying. I wonder. We all usually end this when we're 10, 12, 13. And then, you know, you look back at, oh, remember when dad coached me in Little League or Pop Warner? And then you move on to, I don't know, being an adult. This is such a rare circumstance.
A
Yeah. It's not like Shador outgrew his dad. His dad might be able to step in and make a difference. There could be a great story, but we're wondering, would that be awkward for him, for the team in the fight game? You see it all the time, trainers. You see a dad training his son. There's a lot of times, though, where the son does want to outgrow that situation, and he tells his dad that, you know, hey, I need to be my own man. It's always an awkward situation. We've seen it with the Mayweathers. We've seen it with so many fighters. What are your thoughts on that, if that were to happen? Just a passing thought we had. Speaking ahead, coaches, I did want to acknowledge that.
B
Whose kid played for him in the NBA? Doc Rivers. Right. Yeah, I know your.
A
Your thoughts seem to be an issue. It's kind of cool, you know, it's an honor. I. I don't know what you think about that. Danny G. Do you have thoughts, Sam? 87799 on Fox. Something we were talking about, because you are seeing that on social media, Danny.
B
I feel like you're going to see it because you got little koa. And I feel like you're the type of dad that will, at some point coach your kid, and you're Going to see that. The feelings of, like, I don't want to favor my kid, but I want my kid to do well, I get. But that's. When your kid's 5, 7, 8 years old. These are grown men, and this is the National Football League. What do you think?
E
Yeah, I think that Dion could get past that. But, Rich, I've always leaned on you for these sort of conversations because you're what, six, seven years ahead of me as far as being a dad.
D
Well.
B
And now. Now it's official. I'm the number one coach on the network. So, you know, with that said, I mean, I felt that way all along. But wait, wait.
E
Does Stu Gotts not have any kids? Oh, no, he does. He has two daughters.
B
If stugat coaches like girls soccer, I'm gonna be aggravated.
A
Competition, as funny as it sounds because you coach kids, it's still part of the same cultures as sports. Yeah, right. So the little kids know that's. That's Benny's dad. Benny's dad is our coach.
B
Yeah.
A
Young players feel the same way. It's not like they don't know or respect that Deion Sanders is a goat in the NFL despite the fact that he's the father of Shador.
B
Imagine if. If one of our co workers, let's just say one of the other shows on the network, their dad was like, our boss Julie or Don. Like, Julie was their mom or Don was their dad, he'd be like, oh, it's like her boss's kids got a show. It would be. There would be a weird. Even if they were good, it would be a weird sense of like.
A
But not part of the culture. I think that's different in sports. We see it a lot because a lot of these kids that play, their fathers play.
B
Here's the question. When you have a kid playing in sports, and again, I know there's so many people listening right now that have dabbled in the parental coaching world of our buddy Coach Ball game talks about this type of stuff.
A
He's great.
B
What do you tell. No, you got to tell your kid every game.
A
What?
B
I love watching you play. Don't put pressure on him. Hey, buddy, dad loves watching you play. But you get to a point, though, where you don't want to favor your kid, and you know you're out there and you know, if every kid's taking batting practice, well, you're going to pay a little more attention when your kid's in the cage because it's your freaking kid. I'm just thinking at a pro level, Even at a collegiate level. I mean, prime and Shador did it there. Is there a sense of, like, are you harder on your kid? Maybe even at that level? Does Deon say, if I did take that job, yo, I could be as hard as I want him because it's my kid.
A
Maybe even more pressure to win, more commitment to win. You know, you're doing it with your kid, and it feels more family. It could be a great thing. It could be an obstacle. You know, there's so many ways to look at this. I think it's really cool. The possibility of it is really, really cool.
B
Can you bench your kid? Imagine. You bet. Imagine Chidor has a real crappy first quarter of the season next year. And let's just say in this, you know, unrealistic hypothetical, he's off. Let's say prime takes a job, and all of a sudden, Shador stinking like Abe Lincoln. Was he Benjamin? Then they go have Thanksgiving dinner together.
E
I mean.
A
Yeah, and that's how it would work. And he'd be asked that. That'd be one of the first questions he'd be asked at the press conference, for sure.
B
So interesting thought, and I want to piggyback that with another quick thought I had.
A
So, you guys, who has cooler stubble, by the way? Stefanski or Deion Sanders?
B
Yeah, they both lead the league in, like, cool gray stubble.
A
They got some stellar gray stubble, oddly enough.
B
They both could be, you would think.
A
Like, they could be on the Just.
B
For Men box, but get an endorsement. You're on the Browns, and you got Grace double. I got brown stuff. Get Browns. Come on.
A
They both have. Hey, who knows? But your thoughts on that? 87799 on Fox. Someone's on the phone. Who's on the phone?
E
Danny G. Let's go to Don in Vegas. He wants to weigh in on Rich's question about Daddy coaching.
A
Yeah.
B
What's up, Don?
A
How are you doing?
D
Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, long time. First time. You guys rock.
A
Thanks, man.
D
It's only. It's only daddy ball. If your kid sucks and you put him at shortstop and you put him at the starting pitcher, if your kid is legitimately one of the better players on the team, it's not Daddy ball. It's just a guy in a great player.
B
You know, I struggle with that. I'm not saying my son Benny's, you know, Benny the Jet Rodriguez. I'm not saying he's the star, but there are times where I'm like, hey, buddy, we're going to bet you eighth because I don't want to be the dad. It's like I see Benny's batt and I'm just saying if we think about this type of crap, coaching our little kids, our nose picking kids, when there's millions and billions of dollars in the NFL at stake. And you know, this is a big deal. It's interesting if they would even dabble with the idea of prime because I'm seeing social media rumblings, but no real rumbling yet. But it is speculation. Speculation.
A
It's fun speculation.
B
Well, especially when there's a coaching vacancy.
A
Right.
B
And before, you know, they didn't really deliver. But there was a minute where primetime was like a hot candidate. Not as much.
A
Not as much now, but just another side story when we're seeing all these moves being made.
B
Can I ask you another question? Then we'll take feedback on both.
A
Sure.
B
And I know we're going to play a game, give away some prizes, but a question I was thinking of. I'm seeing more about Alex Earl, hot influencer, Dancing with the Stars and Tom Brady.
A
The update yesterday, as we discussed was there was no hookup involved during the New Year's party, just a lot of flirting. That was the story and I'm not buying it.
B
My question is this. When you are a star athlete or a celebrity, do you think those like do you.
A
And by the way, if you missed the story, Alix Earl is like a social media superstar influencer.
B
She was a hot model, she was on dance, she was on Dancer with.
A
The Stars and she was scene rubbing the back and flirting it up with Tom Brady.
B
Well, and she also ties into the sports world because she was with longtime girlfriend of Braxton Barrios, the wide receiver. How do you think I'm being serious? Because sometimes you think, oh, when you're a celebrity or an NFL or NBA player, hey, you're on to the next like Jay Z. Do you think Braxton Barrios was sick to his stomach seeing his ex girlfriend with Tom Brady in Saint Biden?
A
No question.
B
Do you think he was, you think he was like, oh yeah, he's moved.
A
On and doesn't care? Yeah, it's like because you matter that much less.
E
You know how many starlets that dude has been with? So I don't think he's sitting there.
A
I mean, yeah, Tom Brady's a goat. Starlets don't compare to.
B
That's why I asked the question. Because you're right. Because Braxton Barrios is a super handsome guy. He's ripped and I'm sure he has his resume of fine looking women in his past.
A
Sure. But Tom Brady's different.
B
But when you are like, yeah, you know, me and my ex, you know, she's a hot model, we broke up. And then you're flipping like we all are through social media and it's like, wait, my ex is rubbing Tom Brady's back in St. Barts.
A
As girls used to say in the early 2000s, it'll make you feel some type of way.
B
You think he's, you don't think he's a little pumped about that?
E
No. If it was a younger guy, like, you know what I mean?
A
But this is like a Jackson dart.
E
Yeah, exactly. He could make grandpa jokes with his buddies.
A
No way. It stings a little.
E
He's still the goat. But you're talking about a guy that has a resume with females just like Brady.
B
But, but keep in mind this, like, all right, if you are he the new guy, even though Tom Brady's not the new guy, but let's just say he's the new guy.
A
Yeah.
B
If the new guy's cooler than you at what you're known for, like Brixton Perry is a football player, but Tom Brady's the football player.
A
Yeah. That sucks.
B
It'll be like if my wife left me for like Colin Cowherd. Like, yeah, Rich national radio host. But, oh, no, but, but, you know, that's rich.
E
You win the conversation. You, you win the debate with that comment right there.
A
No, that's exactly that.
B
If my wife started Colin Keller, then I'd be like, oh, man.
E
Oh.
A
So, yeah, that's, that's like say stars for me. Stars, star, stars.
E
She'd have to move to Chicago.
B
Stars. Damn it.
A
But yeah, no, just couldn't say stars the way you say stars.
B
Yeah. How many affiliates are you on? And you're on tv.
A
I'm actually with a star, so at Kobe.
B
Known Rich. Anything on, you know, Alex Earl and Tom Brady or the thought of could you see a father, son coaching combo work out in the NFL, in the NBA? I think it's happened.
A
But sports especially is the culture for that. Right. And I think our caller was it Don. He nailed it. Like, if you, if your kid is.
B
Great, there's all the other sports we spoke of.
A
Yeah.
B
If a bench player in the NBA is on your team and he's your son, or in baseball, if he's your, you know, left fielder or bullpen guy.
A
I think like the Nepo stuff matters in sports because sports is based on results in winning and you know, and, but we've talked about favors done in that way.
B
We talk about the importance in the relationship though, between coach and quarterback and how that could change a franchise for a decade. There's just so much more at stake. There's so much more at stake with quarterback, coach, and if it's prime and his kid. That's wild. But again, just speculation.
A
But it's always about who has the great relationship, right?
B
Yeah, no doubt.
A
Who could have a better relationship than N2?
B
That's true. All right, let's take one more call on this and then we'll, then we'll play some games, give away some prizes, have some fun on a Tuesday. What's up, man?
E
We got Ben in Tacoma, Washington, wants to talk about the Sanders.
B
What's up, Ben?
D
Hey, thanks a lot, guys for taking my call.
F
No problem.
A
Thank you.
D
Yeah. To comment on like the overarching question, I totally agree that a father son coaching combination could work in football. And you cited already the Doc Rivers, Austin Rivers example. If the player is good and they're objectively good and like someone just said, if they win, it can work. When it comes to Shadour Sanders, you can get his mom, his dad, his grandma, his grandpa, you can get his girlfriend to coach the Cleveland Browns. It won't matter because you can get Colonel Sanders. He's not a very good quarterback. He's not very good. I hate to break it to you. He's just not. And by the way, Deion Sanders isn't very good. You can't recruit in the NFL. Hate to break it to you. And that's his one strength as a college coach. Thanks again, fellas.
A
Okay, so he brought, you know, a different twist to the conversation. This is fun social media speculation that we're bringing to Fox Sports Radio. So your thoughts on that? Thanks for the call. You could always chime in to Vinoenrich. And of course the live chat is popping bro on YouTube. Covino Enrich FSR on YouTube. Thank you guys for chiming in.

All her fault on Peacock. That's good too.
F
I was thinking about doing some snow tubing maybe.
C
I don't know.
B
Well, you can't ski, but snow tubing, you could do it.
F
If you guys have any ideas, by all means, hit me up. Let me know what I could be doing with my time. I'm sort of lost right now, so I'm here hanging out with these bozos.
B
Well, thanks.
F
Hey, what's up, Sam?
E
Hey. All right, let's meet the contestants. 27 time winner Rich Davis in the house. Let's go live from LV and in for 22 time champion Dan Beyer, it's Ilo Isaac Lo and Crow.
C
Hey, Patrick.
E
And 1010 time winner, Spotty Boy, right over here.
A
My favorite time of the week.
E
Looking to win a CNR Nerf football on the studio lines. The first one through was RE in Tallahassee, Florida. What up, Reese?
B
Hey, Reese. Hey, y'.
E
All. How y' all doing?
B
We're good, man. Ready to win some prizes? Let's do this. I want you to win. Let's go.
E
Reese, what do you do for a living there in Florida?
D
I work for the Department of Transportation as an operations analytic.
A
Oh, wow.
E
All right, rules for showtime. Mahomes. NFL Trivia dot. Yeah. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champion. If there's a tie, we do have a tiebreaker question. Your name is your buzzer, but you have to wait until all three possible answers are read. If there's two wrong answers and rem, we move on to the next question. Are you ready?
B
Let's go.
A
Let's get it on.
F
All right, I'm here. Fox Sports Radio. I'd rather be in the playoffs, but I'm here and I could do this with my eyes closed. Patrick Mahomes here.
A
I know.
F
Who is the first NFL QB to throw for over 40 touchdown passes in a single season? A, Dan Fouts, B, Dan Marino or C, Joe Montana?
C
Isaac. I'm going to go Dan Marino, Lowen, Cron.
E
Yeah. On the board.
A
That's how you do it.
F
48 tuddies in 84.
E
48, man.
F
48.
A
Wow.
E
Marina balling. All right, we move on to round two. ILO on the board so far.
F
All right. Reese, you could chime in whenever. All right, who was the first wild card team to win the Super Bowl?
C
Isaac.
E
Oh, you gotta wait.
B
Ask the question, big shot.
A
Give someone else a shot.
F
The Ravens, B, the Giants or C, the Raiders?
C
Isaac.
E
Isaac Loewencron for the Sweets.
C
C, the Raiders won Super Bowl 15 over the Eagles 2710.
A
Wow. Somebody put a lid on this guy.
E
Usually it's Dan Byers showing off.
C
My wife says put a lid on it a lot. By the way.
B
By the way, your knowledge at that level, I'm surprised you have a wife, honestly.
C
I am, too. Here's to low standards words.
A
Isaac won yesterday, didn't he?
E
He did, yeah.
A
This week, Next week.
F
If Isaac's here, I'll make it harder, I guess. I don't know.
B
I was gonna say Isaac puts these trophies in his. In his office. Never even had a chance.
E
I know. Reese, thanks for playing the game.
C
I didn't know there were only two questions. I feel bad now.
A
Well, you won that. You get two in a row.
F
I got one more question. Oh, is there any movies I should watch? My spare time?
B
Yeah. This weekend.
F
Greenland 2 with never had a free January year. So if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, movies, let me know.
E
Yeah, I got one for you. Raiders of the Lost Ark.
A
Ouch.
E
How'd you like that 60 yard field goal from Carlson?
F
I don't do Raiders.
E
All right. Thank you, Patrick. If you're not busy during the playoffs, we'll have you back. All right.
F
All right. Later, guys.
B
Later.
F
Later, guys.
A
This is great.
E
And we know he's not busy during the playoffs.
A
Try again sometimes. We'd love to give you a chance for Mahomes.
B
When you. When you think of wild card teams that have made the playoffs and have gone far, who else comes to mind?
E
The Ravens.
B
Ravens.
A
Did the packers when they went in 2010, 2011. Whatever.
B
You would say that. My first thought I was saying because I know you and my wife both like the Packers. That year they had to win the final game of the season to even make the postseason. And they beat the Bears, coincidentally, who they're playing this weekend. Yeah.
E
Twice.
A
They beat the Bears in the NFC title game too, when they were the number one seed.
B
I believe the Bears had the ability to not even let the packers into the postseason. Packers won the final week of the season. And you're right. And then they went on to beat the Bears in the playoffs. And then they would go on to beat the Steelers in that Super Bowl.
A
I want to say the Giants were a wild card team too, with Eli at least once when they won.
B
Had to be, right?
A
Yeah. They won on the Road 9 and 7.
C
Dallas, Green Bay and San Francisco.
A
Yeah, that's right.
E
Broncos did it too. Correct.
C
The year that Elway won his first. I believe so, yes.
B
97. The 97 Broncos.
C
Yeah, they were right.
B
No one mentioned the Steelers. Steelers in 05 bucks.
E
Tampa Bay Bucks.
B
Bingo.
C
Good one.
A
Bingo. Brady. Brady.
C
Yeah.
E
What was it? 20, 19, 2020, maybe.
A
Yeah.
B
The 2020 Super Bowl.
A
Yeah.
B
Do you remember how ridiculous that Tom Brady journey was? Like every everyone he beat on the way to that final Super Bowl? How ridiculous it was Breeze, Roger Mahomes, Breeze and Rogers. Right?
A
Yeah. That was it. I mean, that's how you do it. So. Hey, you know what? Showtime. Mahomes went quick. Thank you, showboy Mahomes for being here on the show. I do have a question. We're in Vegas.
B
Yeah.
A
Random question. I know. NFL's king and every.
B
Just don't Tell your. Just don't tell your girlfriend. Oh, wait, what's your question?
A
No, no, no. My question is this has nothing to do with you being all horned up in Vegas.
D
Relax.
A
This has to do with the A's.
B
Oh, this is an interesting story. I think this is. This is fact.
A
I think, as we know, they're in Sacramento playing at that minor league. Was it the Mud Cats? Mud Skippers? I don't know. We went there, we had a great time. But the story is, Danny G. Correct me if I'm wrong, because we were traveling. They lost their rights to the name, to the Athletics. So we were thinking, you know, they would be.
B
Well, they were denied the trademark for Las Vegas Athletics.
A
Right. So.
B
So that's off the table.
A
So that's sort of off the table. That's the story I'm getting. And it makes you wonder, like, well, then what's the name gonna be? That's kind of interesting.
B
Like, what angle? Where do you think the A should go? As far as even should they go? Lean into that, like, Area 51. Like aliens and UFO. For me, that's the number one answer on the point. So cool. Like Vegas. Like Showtime Showgirls. Like, I don't know.
E
Yeah, they were. It's.
A
They stick with it. A could still be the logo. And it's aliens. We discussed it jokingly, you know, about a year ago, and now I'm feeling it makes more sense than ever before.
E
And the first person to throw out the first pitch for the new stadium, that kid that saw the aliens in his backyard in Vegas.
A
Yeah, the Vegas aliens. Yeah, I think that's it. Anyway, it's just a side story.
E
9, 10ft tall out there. And they have big eyes.
A
They have big eyes. They live here in Vegas or something. How about you?
B
And you know what? Kavino's right. I know it's. It's a weird thought, but you could call them the Las Vegas A's. But the A's are for aliens.
A
Yeah, I. I think you keep the branding, but you just change the meaning. You know, it's going to be an A. Maybe you put a little spaceship around it or something and they're the aliens. I think that's kind of cool.
B
Legal aliens. Legal. I mean, I don't know what's.
A
But it's not going to be the Athletics. And who called them the Athletics, really? Anyway, we always call them the A's.
B
Yeah.
A
So you still call them the A's, but it's for aliens moving forward.
B
You know, they're their logo. No, Forget. Forget at ET There. The Ellie should be the Little Mac and Me character.
A
I think it'd be cool. Be cool rebranding. But you keep selling.
B
I think it's too silly. It's too minor league.
A
Really?
B
Yeah.
A
I agree with you. You think they got to lean into the. The Vegas vibe of show Space Invaders.
B
But you know what it is? The, the most obvious one is chosen by, I believe, the wnba. Vegas Aces. Right? Or is that right?
F
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
I mean, that's. That's your. That's so obvious.
C
But like what, like, how about the hangovers?
B
The hang. Yeah, that's the. That's funny. I love. But what, you know, like, what is a. What represents a city like glitz and glamour and money and gambling and they should be the Vegas clubs and oh.
E
The Vegas Cheetahs then with a pin up girl as logo.
B
Oh, it's an interesting one. Your thoughts at 877.
A
The Crazy Horses.
C
The Rat Pack.
A
The Rat Pack and yeah, the Vegas Rat Pack. You know what would really pop and be cool? Burning Man. I like the Burning man thing, but hey, who knows? We'll throw it out there. And just if you want to chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
B
Well, you have the Golden Knights, you have the Raiders who came with a name, and they're, you know, you'll probably get an NBA team at some point. So it is interesting. So you know what? We'll wrap the show with taking your feedback. What would be a great name for the Oakland Athletics via Sacramento now, when they get to Vegas, what would be a cool name? We'll do that after ilo's update. What's up, ilo?
A
Hey, ilo. The champion.
C
Fellas, thank you. The big news of the day. And I got a real interesting tidbit about this coming up in just a second. But the top story in sports by far, the Baltimore Ravens firing head coach John Harbaugh. After 18 seasons that included a victory in Super Bowl 47. Harbaugh was the second longest tenured head coach in the league behind Pittsburgh's Mike T. ESPN reported that seven teams have already reached out to Harbaugh's agent. Now think about this, guys. Not counting Baltimore, there are six current head coaching openings. That means that at least one team that currently has a head coach has reached out to Harbaugh. At least one team that still has a head coach employed.
B
Juicy, is that your tidbit?
C
That's my tidbit.
B
Kavina wanted me to let you know that vatos don't say the word tidbit.
C
Oh, that's a good point. Well, I am.
A
I never heard of, say, hey, tidbit.
B
I got a tidbit.
C
Well, I am straight out of Irvine. What would be the equivalent of a tidbit, therefore, that would be more appropriate.
A
Yeah, that's what I got to look into this.
C
Yeah, that's a good topic. I was going to throw out another name for a Las Vegas team. You know, there was that movie Ocean's Eleven. Since it's a baseball team, you can call it Ocean's Nine. Anyway, multiple outlets report elsewhere that the Tennessee Titans will interview former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett for their head coaching job on Friday. The Detroit Lions today fired offensive coordinator John Morton. The Washington Commanders today fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. And mutually parted ways with offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury. The Dallas Cowboys today fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflush. That's all I got for tidbits. Back to you.
B
Yo, Isaac, I mean, can I be the only one? I know I'm not the only one. When I think Cliff Kingsbury, who, by the way, from New Braunfels, Texas, the home of my wife, Cliff Kingsbury, when he did the draft from home during COVID and he had the sweetest house out of anyone.
A
Oh, yeah, like a sweetheart girlfriend, too.
B
So he had not only the coolest house you've ever seen when he got fired, his hot girlfriend's like, yeah, he's fine. And she posted like a picture of her booty on an island or something.
C
In Indonesia or something.
B
Yeah, I remember thinking like, yo, Cliff Kingsbury might be the coolest dude in the coaching world. Like his girlfriend, his house. Like he's living the life. So never feel bad for Cliff Kingsborough.
A
I don't.
B
He'll be just fine. All right, your thoughts on the A's. Who the A's going to be? What's the name? I mean, is it going to be something predictable like the Vegas Ballers, the Vegas Aliens? Because they can't be the Vegas Athletics. The trademark was denied. We'll take your feedback on that next. More Covino Rich right here on FOX Sports Radio.

A
The Vegas Wild Cards.
E

B
You know, let's go to your feedback. What should the A's be called? Because I don't know if you saw this. Las Vegas applied to be the Las Vegas Athletics. They were denied copyright trademarks even for the Vegas Athletics.
E
They were also denied.
B
Yeah. So no, no Vegas Athletics. So denied to not. What do we got, Danny?
E
Let's start at Michigan. Don.
B
What's up, Don?
D
Hey, how's it going, fellas?
B
What's up?
D
They'll never take this, but playing on Sin City, I'd go with the Vegas Atheist.
B
What about the Vegas Sinners? Yeah. What about. Let's see.
A
Well, think about what Vegas is known for. We always say, we love people watching. We love the girls stumbling out of the club. The One Shoe Dirty Foot Club stumblers.
B
It's a little wordy.
A
It's a little wordy.
E
How about the Vegas.
B
What do you see in every casino? People smoking slots. Oh, slots.
A
Yeah. S L, O, T, S. Slots.
B
Vegas slots. I love loose slots.
E
The last Vegas Raiders game I went to, even in the stadium, just about every person busted out a vape. The Vegas Vapes.
B
Vegas. Oh, the Vapors. Yeah, Vipers.
E
Catch our Vapors.
A
Have a good one. Off the air, though. But who else we got on the phones?
E
Let's go to Illinois. Eric, what's up?
B
Eric?
D
No good enough, guy. I do really love you guys. My suggestion is to incorporate the A and the Vegas theme and make them the Las Vegas Aces.
B
Yeah, that's WNBA team.
A
Yeah, but what if it has nothing to do with cards?
B
Ace.
C
Nice.
B
Lots of aces. I'm looking up our feedback. People are saying, what about, like, sinners or outlaws? Like, what is this city all about?
A
Like, you know, but, you know, we said the Aliens, but Sam off the air said, how about the Space Invaders? Or the Invaders?
B
It rhymes at Raiders with Raiders.
A
Fan of the Raiders and the Invaders. I don't know. I like the space angle. They can maybe keep the. The A.
B
What about. You could go desert style, like vultures or scorp or something like that maybe.
A
It's kind of cool. Yeah. By the way, guys, see what they go with. That's a big deal. I think that was the same caller who's in one of our openers. Who's like, you do? Good enough. I'm pretty sure that's the same guy.
E
Yeah.
A
Recognizing voice.
E
Rapid, rapid fire here. James in Virginia.
B
What's up, James?
D
Thanks for taking my call. Gentlemen. Happy Tuesday, man. Salute the commanders. You know, for me, man, I'll throw. Have a wonderful night. Thank you so much. I will throw out the Vegas Vipers, man. I don't know how much it goes with Nevada, but it just flows off the tongue.
B
Vegas Vipers does sound cool.
A
It does.
B
But you know what? They have the Diamondbacks, though. That's the thing.
C
The.
B
The Diamondbacks. Isn't that really like a sort of a snake as well? Right.
A
But, I mean, there's plenty of birds. You could have more snakes.
B
That's true.
A
All right.

Date: January 7, 2026
Hosts: Covino & Rich (C&R), with Dan Patrick
Location: Live from Las Vegas
This lively episode of The Dan Patrick Show, hosted by Covino & Rich, blends sports analysis, playful banter, and audience interaction. Broadcasting live from Las Vegas, the crew examines the criticism surrounding Trevor Lawrence's NFL career trajectory, muses on the rare scenario of an NFL head coach working with his own son, explores the Las Vegas A’s naming conundrum (with an alien twist), and even makes time for Mahomes-themed trivia. The episode strikes a balance between humor, pop culture, and cogent sports insight, staying true to the hosts’ signature engaging style.
Segment: 01:56–06:43
Notable Quote:
“If Trevor Lawrence wins one this year, I don't think it's a, oh, we knew he'd come around. I think it's, oh, right on time.” — Rich (06:13)
Segment: 09:05–21:40
Memorable Moment:
“Imagine Shadour has a real crappy first quarter...Was he Benjamin? Then they go have Thanksgiving dinner together.” — Covino (14:17)
Segment: 16:35–19:24
Segment: 26:03–31:58
Segment: 32:09–44:49
True to their style, Covino & Rich keep the banter light, conversational, and interactive. They invite frequent listener calls, riff on pop culture tie-ins, and punctuate analysis with playful sarcasm and self-aware jokes. The Vegas setting adds glitz and an “anything goes” spirit to the brainstorming about the new A’s identity, fitting for an episode that darts between serious sports talk and comic hypotheticals.
For listeners new and old, this episode perfectly balances substantial sports conversation with pop culture fun—offering everything from serious insights about quarterback careers to outlandish pitches for alien baseball teams in Vegas.
