You know I'm pull up the YouTube chat and say hi to you guys. YouTube.com Kovino and Rich FSR back to Cavino. He's the type of guy on vacation that really does activities. Like I saw him crocheting something with his girlfriend. He's the guy that does all the activities. The resort offers macrame, not crochet. Is he? He's macrame. I don't know what difference. My grandma would be hyped like Danny if the resort she had crochet needles all over the apartment. Very soothing. I feel like Kavino's girlfriend, as we know because we play the game is a kvino or Belichick. Kavino has a younger girlfriend named Jordan who's in her early 30s. She pulls him into all these activities like let's go, you know, let's go play archery. Let's go, you know, boarding and stuff. He does these things so out of his comfort Zone. So I'm sure we'll hear some stories tomorrow. Kavino will be back. But right now I want to continue my deep thought. And then we are going to play. Will Rich's mom know we're going to give away some Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio Nerf footballs. I texted my mom, I said, be ready in 15 minutes. We're going to give you a call. We're simply going to give my mom basic sports and entertainment questions. And it's really like, do our boomer parents know these answers? We'll do that coming up. All right. But my thought about Tyreek Hill, when you see all these guys, baseball, football, basketball, whether it's Kevin Durant or Nick Bosa, Tyree kill all the Tommy John surgeries in baseball, ACLs, Achilles. It might sound like a stoner thought. I promise you, I didn't just take a bong rip like it's college days. I really think, man, that perhaps have we physically outgrown the nature in which these sports were designed to be played? Because in the 60s, 70s, 80s, like, we watch old highlights and these guys were in shape, but they were like dad bods. They weren't as big. They all looked like Clayton Kershaw. They all look like Clayton Kershaw's man boobs. They all, you know, like, Ozzie Smith was just like a skinny, slender, athletic shortstop. You know, Joe Montana, Joe Montana had like, mind, muscle, mass. Like, these guys were just athletic dudes. They were men. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They had like, dad strength. They had like, you know, like your, your grandpappy would, like, have the ability to, like, lift stuff. And you're like, yeah, grandpa, you never worked out. Why are you so strong? I feel like athletes had that type of physique. Guys got injured, but not the way they do now. And is it because when you add size, strength, speed, athleticism, the ability to jump in ways that guys couldn't back in the day. Like, we talk about all these, like, hey, what if someone of this generation played this generation? I promise you, everyone that would whoop anyone else in another generation, I don't care what anyone says, they, they would whoop their ass completely. Without a doubt, the Most doo doo NBA team would beat the best NBA team 30, 40 years ago just based on size, strength, ability, baseball guys, back in the day, we're throwing what low 90s tops, and they had what, two pitches. Guys now are throwing five different pitches. And you could tell by how the fatigue, they can't do it for more than Five or six innings. So my question is, are we just too big, strong and fast and not flexible enough to. Well, we are flexible, but is our body not designed for the speed, strength and size of how you get hit today, how fast you throw today? But don't we always hear that when you add the muscle mass, you lose some flexibility? That is true, but I just think about it, Danny G. Like, not necessarily, but yes, I feel like there's something to be said about what I'm saying where there's so many injuries to elite athletes, but is that maybe because when you throw 102 miles an hour, you break 100. Every guy's got guys that could throw a hundred now, and they've been doing it since they're teenagers. And wide receivers are running faster and jumping higher than they ever have. And guys that are hitting them, even though you can't hit helmet to helmet anymore, they're just bigger. Is there anything to this thought? Damn Buyer? I think that there is something to it. Now, I don't know is the jump off point the neighbor's injury? Because I think that is separate from, say, pitchers in baseball not being able to get a grip and throwing out their elbow because of the amount of. For how hard they throw and what they're trying to do with the baseball. Maybe there's, maybe there's some similarities with that. I do think at some point that. But the physical nature of all of these athletes has gotten to a level where maybe we had never seen before. But like Malik Neighbors tearing out his knee, I just think is we just thought that fake Astroturf and this fake grass stuff was going to be sufficient. And it's back where we started in the mid to late 80s when we started to take that turn away from astroturf when it started to get so bad. Now, Covino, as you know, is a big boxing guy and he loves to point out that, you know, we've got stronger and bigger and physiques are more impressive. Your brain, the human brain, hasn't changed. Yes. You know, let's get to this. So, guys, you get hit now, it's, it's different than getting hit in different generations. I feel that everyone's bigger and stronger and it's, it's unbelievable to think that people don't talk about this more like, again, look at all your baseball pitchers. These guys are ripped. They're throwing 100 miles an hour. Mechanically, they're probably, you would argue, oh, they're probably more mechanically sound than ever before. They know every angle. There's no more old school like Satchel Page wind up. They realize, well, that's not the way you're going to get momentum. There's pitching coaches for kids. My kid is five, Sam, he plays pony ball. Note the next step above Shetland is when they, when they don't do the coach pitch and the tee ball pinto. The kids are pitching and the best ones have pitching coaches at 7 or 8 years old. That's the, that's the kid sports world. There's more specialization. The kids sports world filters then into travel ball colleges and the pros. And I just feel like there's something about almost like we've over trained, we're too strong, we're too fast, we're too everything. And it leaves us so susceptible to just getting injured all the time. I think you look at players like football from the 1920s or like its inception all the way to the 50s, guys weren't weight training and they were playing a lot of times both ways. So they were like out of weight. They weren't all bulked up, specializing in one position. I feel like football players who played in that era, they, a lot of them just lived like long normal lives. Like Johnny Lujak played way back in the day. He died a couple years ago at the age of 98 and he played football for a long time. And I think guys today, a lot of football players, maybe they played in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, they might be dying in their 50s, 60s, 70s, because they just take so much abuse over the course of their life. I'm just saying, like a wide receiver. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, I could be completely wrong. I don't think though, I don't think that though when we were kids, if you're a kid of the 80s and 90s, Andre Reed, Michael Irvin, Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, like you know, Chris Carter, yeah, they got banged up. But you name every team in the NFL and I could almost feel like you could tell me how they've missed a year or half a year because of some legitimate major injury. It is wild to me. It used to be the anomaly when a, when a running back would have some crazy knee injury. Now it's everyone and it's like, hey, we'll see you next year because medicine's so great. But guys are being torn apart and I want to take your feedback. I think guys are, are asked to do more from, you know, certain aspects if you're, I don't know why I feel that quarterbacks were only suffering Maybe a knee injury here or there or like if Joe Montana got smushed. Yeah. And he got like a shoulder injury. You know, it's graphic and gruesome that as that injury was like those were the type of injuries now with guys being more mobile and moving around and doing those things. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if there's scientific data that has that information. But I do think that you are doing more so you are more susceptible to certain types of injuries. Quarterbacks just run, are more mobile and run more than they did, you know, 30, 40 years ago. The routes receivers are running, the crossover dribbles and quick movements. These NBA players are making the 102 mile an hour fastballs pitchers are throwing. There just seems to be so much more stress on the body because we're demanding more that everyone just can't. And don't give me this BS that guys were just tougher back in the day. No guy's rupturing his Achilles or, you know, ACL injury and just keep playing. Don't tell me guys were so tough that they played a season, you know, terribly injured. It wasn't. Don't give me that bs. I. Yes, Danny. Oh, that was me. Oh, what's up, Sam? I just think also guys in the last 40 years are, you know, eating more protein. They're just bigger, they're stronger. And yeah, like you said, our skull and our brain are the same, but they're getting hit and it's more like a collision than, than it was in the past. Then it just does more damage to the body. Like offensive linemen in the 50s, we're like in the 200, 250 pound range now. They're over 300 pounds. So in the game of football, and I don't know if this is like this in any other sport, I don't think that there is because I think football is so unique. I think that football was, has just gotten more complex, gotten more complicated throughout the years. Yes. It's not just handoff to the running back, throw the ball to the tight end or wide receivers. So there are schemes, the cuts, the athleticism, everything. Right. The athleticism is the word. Right. Because all this, everything I'm saying, cross sports comes down to the athleticism that's needed to play in today's professional sports world. Yes. And I think 40 years ago, and I just used that as an example, I don't know how many times we were talking about ambulance balls and I'm talking about the throws that the quarterbacks make where their wide receiver is going to get killed. And someone like Jack Tatum in the 1970s, Danny's Raiders made a living off of that, right? Crushing a wide receiver, wide receiver on a slant. Now that's kind of been eliminated. Teams aren't doing that as much anymore. So someone may say, well, they look at what Jack Tatum did to these guys in the 1970s. With all that being said, I do think NFL teams now are so deep in trying to find any edge that they can get that they push those lines to. Maybe you end up putting guys in tough spots because you're trying to get any advantage that you can get. It's, it's amazing when you always hear it at the combine, they'll be like, man, this guy's 300 something pounds and he runs a whatever 40. And you're like, how, like, you know my dude, Big Trent Williams on the Niners just seems like, how could he be that big and strong and that agile? And I heard, I'll give him props. I think it was Nick Wright or Brew who used to do it. Broussard who used to do odd couple on FS1. They were talking about how for the Ravens, can the Ravens weather this? Lamar might be injured, Storm. And it's like they were talking about how if you load up that line, fall back and get all these. All these guys they were named are all 6, 3, 6, 4, 300 pounds, fullback, you know, the size of Derek Henry. And you're thinking like, these guys are just. They should not be that fast and agile for their size. It's. It doesn't make sense to me. Let's go to Nick in Alabama. You're on with Kavin on Rich. What's up, bud? Holy knuckle. I appreciate you guys taking my call. What's up, man? I really didn't think you'd take it. I listen to you guys all the time. I love you. Listen, guys, I think you're missing the boat. Oh, let's hear it. No, look, I, I mean, I played. I played sports and I quit college football because my coach, God bless him, Gary Barnett, wanted me to take steroids. And that was back in 1982. But I was a cop for 36 years and I've seen people destroy themselves because they take body enhancing drugs, whether it be testosterone, Diana Ball, testosterone, hgh, whatever. Here's the problem. This is the part that nobody wants to talk about. When you grow the muscle so fast, the tendons don't grow. You have to understand, like, you can have the biggest quad in the whole world, but the tendons that are around it, the steroids don't make those grow like that. So whether, so whether it's illegal or legal enhancements or supplements, you're saying that our body's not designed for that. Like, like our buddy Mouser hit us up in Cincinnati. He goes, it's interesting because all these injuries happen. Yet we could all agree that equipment in all sports has gotten safer. Helmets, padding, baseball, basketball, compression, this, that, like the equipment and everything that goes in there. The pitchers don't throw complete games any longer. Yeah, pitchers throw eight. Well, they average five innings, five, six innings. So it's a very different game. Rules have been changed to make the games, a lot of games, safer. Like my friend's father was a center for Iowa in the early 1970s, and they were terrible. And you were allowed back then to, like, when the center was snapping the ball, you could push the center's like face down into the dirt. Like you could just like pile drive him. And he, and my friend's dad, he's passed away now, he, he, he had nerve damage in his shoulders and neck and he developed Parkinson's later in life. You wonder if maybe the rule changes help people, but they have too much weight on their frame. And like our caller mentioned the tendons issue. Yeah. Bob in Texas, you're on with Kavin on Rich. What's up, Bob? I think when you compare generations, it's like find china against stoneware. And the players today have been more specialized and they play less sports when they're younger and everybody's a pitcher for the rest of their life or their receiver for the rest of their life. And they don't get, they're not as much all around athletes and well rounded and maybe not choosing the right sport, but if you look at some of the players today, they could not play in the 70s because they couldn't throw a complete gain. Yeah, but they're bigger and stronger. They just don't have, I don't know, it makes no sense because if the guys are bigger, faster, stronger, more agile, how are they also more fragile? That just doesn't make sense. There's also, there's muscles and then there's joints. And it seems like a lot of these issues are happening around the joint. And you know, there's the hamstring strains, obviously, but like at the. So the joints aren't being strengthened. And I'm reading a couple things and checking out AI and seeing all the, all these different sort of effects that are having on it. And a lot of it is players are training for explosiveness, not for joint stability. Different to protect quarterbacks, like we said. Well, Spot, that's a great answer. That's already a great answer. Yeah, the emphasis on are you an explosive off the snap, but the explosiveness versus, like you said, stability. Joint stability. Yeah, like, you know, locking in a knee versus like getting a good explosive jump. Protecting certain players in the way that the routes are designed to protect those players are creating more awkward collisions. So that's creating more awkward injuries. What was, what was the jumping off point? Tyree Kill and Neighbors? You could say all the, all the guys. It seems like every year or so multiple elite guys. Daniel. I'm just saying every year multiple elite guys are out. And I just feel like when we were kids and I'm not doing the oh back in the day because I don't think those guys are certainly not stronger or better and not tougher. It just there's something to be said about like, these guys are so big and so strong and so fast, yet they're also fragile. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why, like, I think like Tyreek's situation last night is different than Malik Neighbors. Tyreek's injury came on grass. Like, as we're talking about, like a, like a playing surface sort of thing. I think Malik Neighbors injury is directly related to the playing surface that he played on, which is different to what we are, you know, to what we were. We are talking about. And you know, what is a huge part of strength conditioning and muscle building and all that is recovery time. And if you're constantly playing, if you're constantly training, if you're constantly, you know, conditioning not in the. Drew Rosenhaus told me Tyreek's going to be ready for week one. Exactly. Like, if you're not giving yourself like, you know, I roll my ankle, I'm out for. Out of the gym for two weeks. It's like you got to give yourself that proper time and they're not allowed that proper time to let things set in and strengthen properly before going out and activating. Well, I appreciate you guys. Let me say great topic. I'm glad. I appreciate you guys. Let me thought about this before. You know, I was going to say I'm glad you guys let me air out this thought because I do feel like we don't talk about it enough and I hate the old and I'm glad we didn't go back in the day. People were tougher because that's not where I was going I was just going that everyone's bigger, stronger, and better now. Why we. Why are we so hurt? I don't remember when you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, an NFL season or an MLB season didn't go by where multiple ace pitchers or quarterbacks or wide receivers were all out with, like, big ACL Achilles, Tommy, John. It just wasn't a thing. I'll tell. I'll tell you this. Just saw Giancarlo Stanton ground into an inning ending double play. Oh, they could have threw that ball to the center fielder, and then first base, he still would have been out. That guy slow as hell. Yeah, look, but also, they threw that ball first base. He was halfway down the line. But also, if you were to talk about who is the maybe best fit, who's the best in shape baseball player? John Carlo. Yeah. Who's always hurt? Giancarlo. He's the best example of a guy that. With his shirt off. You tell your wife. Hey, eyes over here, sweetheart. Listen, I. Hey, honey. Money. Don't look at him. Not to give Ben Sheets, you know, not to have him catch a stray, but I covered the Brewers 20 some years ago, and Ben Sheets in the locker room was great, magnificent. And Ben Sheets with his shirt off, wasn't Giancarlo Stanton, like, not even close. Yeah, not even close to it. Dude. Kershaw, Mahomes, look at all these guys. Seems like they're not. Yeah, yeah, right. Kershaw is catching strays, you know, for what he is. You know, what he looks like. So there's. Yeah, it's an interesting. And they're guys that play the same sports. I feel everybody in the NFL kind of looks the same. Yeah, you know, like in. Like in some way or another. I mean, taking out the linemen, but. But different situations. Look at, you know, look at another hunk who is married to Olivia Culpo, has a baby now. My guy, Christian McCaffrey, I mean, is there anyone more ripped and conditioned than him? Yeah, he's always, always fighting the injury bug because he's just such a competitor. And the quickness and as Spot said, the emphasis on explosiveness, that is such a big part of it. Wrap it up, Dan in Idaho. Then we're gonna play a game, give away some prizes here. What's up, Dan? Hey, you know, one of the things I've always said, especially with the Achilles, the knee injuries, the ACLS, is what did we do 20, 30, 40 years ago as kids? What did we do every day, all day, especially in the summers? We rode bikes and no kids ride bikes anymore. And I think that's a big part of why there's so many lower extremity, bro. Dan, I love your thought that I think that's interesting. It's almost so ridiculous. No, but it's almost so ridiculous actually. Fix that. But it's so ridiculous that it almost goes along with my thought. Like we're trying to come out with an answer. And Dan, I'll be honest, that's one hell of a contributing answer. Like why it makes no sense. Did you know Tyree Kill not ride enough? Did he not play, you know, ride bikes on the neighborhood? Did he not have a mongoose or a gt? Some college student needs to do a study on that. Or a Huffy or a Schwinn. Yeah, where's your Huffy? You know, Nick Bosa, will you not ride in here? I don't know. I don't know how much bike riding has fallen off over the years. It has quite a bit. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's interesting take. So, hey, listen, we'll take the rest of your feedback. Dan Byers got an update coming up. Players aren't as Huffy anymore. That's, that's all we have to say. You got to be a little more Huffy. I'm going to get my mom on the phone because we're going to use. Oh, I have her on the phone right now. Thanks. Say hi to. Say hi to my mother. We're going to play a game called will Rich's mom know this is a fun one because it's really a matter of you. You decide. Will my mom know the answer to a random sports question? If you could guess whether she gets it right or wrong, you win a prize. It's that simple. You have five chances to get two correct. Oh, we're going two out of five. They only need to bet 500. 400 Danny G's. I love it. He's making it easy for you. So if you want in 87799 on Fox, we do that next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Yes, Mom. The Marlins. No, the Reds. The Mets lost to the Marlins, but the Reds are in the playoffs. All right, so it comes down to the final one. Wow. All right, Mom, I want to put. I want you to put your thinking cap on. Yes. Dan Beyer. There are no more magical two words in sports. Than question five, right here. You always hear game seven. Game seven, question five.

Thank you, guys. Congratulations. Hey, by the way, Mom, I know you want to go. Do I get a T shirt for losing? Yeah, you get a T shirt for losing a Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio T shirt. But know what my mom wants to do, Mom? What? An ultimate weekend. She wants to go back to Vegas and she wants to go see the Wizard. She wants to see the wizard of Oz at the Sphere, and she wants to see the Raiders play at home. So I said, wait for your son to get his next contract. All right, Mom. Thank you. Love ya. Thanks for playing. Love ya. And Matt, congratulations. You won our second edition. Will Rich's mom know? All right, let's go to Dan by for an update. Db, what's going on, man? Anthony Volpez hit a solo home run for the Yankees. They're on top of the Red Sox. 1 Nothing in the top of the third inning in game one of their American League Wild Card series. It is a best of three matchup in the other alwc. The Tigers top the Guardians today by a score of 2 to 1. Terry Skubal. Can I bet someone a coffee? I'm sorry, danbuy for interrupt. Will Cavino wear his Volpe T shirt tomorrow to work? Yes. Yes, he will. Yeah. Listen, somebody on the screen right now is wearing a Volpe jersey with Volpe on the back of it, which I think we've talked about is so annoying because. Yeah, the Yankees don't have Volvo on the back. What a dope. Yeah. Sorry to interrupt him by. That's all right. That's all right. Tarek Scubal, 14 strikeouts in seven and two thirds for Detroit today. Is there up one? Oh. In the National League, Cubs beat the Padres 31 say a Suzuki and Carson Kelly hit back to back home runs for Chicago in the fifth inning, giving the Cubs a lead they would never relinquish. The Reds and Dodgers coming up at 9 Eastern Time tonight. Coming up on Thursday, 49ers and Rams on Thursday Night Football. Earlier today on KMBR in San Francisco, 49ers GM John lynch said he expected Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall to be questionable. No practice for either today. That also includes wide receiver Juwan Jennings. Purdy did meet with the media, says that his toll right now feels better than it did after Week one, but also said that if there was a game tonight he would not be able to Play. Gives him 48 hours. Likely to be questionable for the game against the Rams, Tyree Kill had surgery on his injured knee. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says the realistic goal is for Hill to be ready by the start of next season. Dolphins are signing wide receiver Cedric Wilson Jr. Off the saints practice squad. Raiders tackle Colton Miller headed to IR with a high ankle sprain and hairline fracture in that ankle. Former Syracuse basketball star Lawrence Moten died at the age of 53 and Minnesota links forward Nafisa Collier read a statement today saying that there is a lack of accountability from the WNBA's front office. Saying this I'm concerned about the future of our sport. Everyone deserves to hear the truth. We have the best players in the world, we have the best fans in the world. But right now we have the worst leadership in the world. That from the Lynx star. Collier's scathing words directed at commissioner Kathy Engelbert, saying that the league believes it succeeds despite its players. She complained about the officiating, the TV deals, how they treat their star players. Lot in that statement from Collier earlier today. Back to you Rich. Dan, thank you. Around the room. Dumb question before we go to break, this might be the dumbest question of the day. Turf toe, real big story this year. Brock Purdy, you know, seems to be a struggle early on. And Joe Burrow, the extreme case of that is what has now sidelined Burrow for the foreseeable future. If you asked 100 Cincinnati Bengal fans if it meant Burrow being back in action, would you lick his toe once a day? How many people would say yes? Not many. Oh, I know where you're going with that. I thought you were going to say like the Reds lose. Like that's where I thought it was going. Think about like Bengals fans that paint their face like they're a damn Bengal. The die hard fans and you said, hey, man, he's got to lick his toe once a day and he'll be back. Yeah, there's going to be a few of those fans that'll do it. What about, I think, 50% of Bengals fans because that's a fan base that was thought this was the year they were Thurston. They were like Thurston Howell iii. They thought this was the year that they were going to get to the next level and then burrows out. So I guarantee I changed my answer. 70 out of 100 Bengals fans would lick Joe Burrow's toe once a day for the rest of the season if it meant him being healthy. Wow. I'm sticking to it. That's a bit depraved. All right, listen, we got more convenience on Rich. We'll give you some playoff updates in the world of the wild card and talk a little more NFL. No more toe licking. So don't worry. That's all coming up right here. Covino and Rich, life's messy. We're talking spills, stains, pets and kids. But with Annabe, you never have to stress about messes again.

Looks like something that should not be sold. Oh, my. So that was my other big Colts takeaway. They sold that? Yes. I might want to go back at the Colt Stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah, I thought the shape we have with pretzels was working pretty well for generations. We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him.

The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me. I feel trapped. My breathing changes.

This didn't just happen to me. It happened to hundreds of other people. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth. I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to hold my head up.

Come be part of the legacy that never stops beating there when history's made Da ba ba da ba Harlem Globetrotters 100 Year Tour get your tickets today at Harlem Globetrotters.com all right, I wanted to re angle my dumb question. I guess there was actually better. Nope, a better question was posed by Danny and I was Sam. I said, turf toe, huh? It's a big problem this year. Brock Purdy. Who knows what's going to happen in the next 48 hours? Or is it going to be Mac Jones on Thursday night? And then I said, the Bengals whole season got flipped upside down because Joe Burrow, it looks like most of the season he's out and it's all turf toe. This is not good. And we described turf toe. Take your thumb and pull it back until it hurts. And that hyperextension and snap of that tendon would be the equivalent to what turf toe on your big toe is. And I said, put a Cincinnati Bengals fan lick Joe Burrow's toe once a day for the whole season. If it meant burrows back, a better question was posed. That's not as weird. Would you. Would you endure that injury if it meant Joe Burrow didn't like if I said, hey, You're a Bengals fan. You have turf toe for the next three months, but Joe Burrow's fine. Do you think fans would take on the pain for the player they root for? Do Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays mean that much to you? Like Danny G. If I told you, you know, the Raiders were in a better spot, but you know, Genti at it, pulled the groin muscle. If I said, danny, he's fine, but that means you pull the groin muscle now, this is going to have to be for a playoff win or a championship. Yeah. Now you not. What is your team? 1 and 3, 2 and 2, what are they? Yeah, 1 and 3. Like, for you, it doesn't apply, but there are times where you're in. You're in playoff mode. Like I, you know, you said in order to win a playoff game, then you'd see me coming into work on crutches. I know that, but I still think the Phillies are one of the favorites to really take the World Series. I think they're a really well balanced squad. Yet no Zach Wheeler. What if I told some of these bonehead, die hard Phillies fans, who, by the way, they really are the most passionate, you got to respect Philadelphia sports fans. Do you think someone that would take on the injuries of players missing if it meant that guy's healthy? And I think the answer is yes. People paint their face. People spend thousands of dollars, people buy jerseys, people get tattoo. You tell me they want to endure an injury. Dan Buyer. Someone ate horse poop. After a celebration, of course. So they had already won and they decided to do it. Yeah. Like, if that allowed you to win, tells you everything that you need to know. I guarantee you go up to the Bay Area. I'm not saying I would do this. I got other things going on. I got to be coach of the year for sports, and I like to stay active. But I guarantee there's Niner fans that if you said, hey, would you take on Bose's acl? I bet you they would. I bet you this in Die Hard, Bang bang, Niners gang, people that would say, yeah, dude, I'll take on the injury in some hypothetical world, transfer it from him to me. But, well, because think of how we're so Die Hard, Sam. It's not like people break their TVs, people cry. People are emotional. You see how I mean, sports bring out so much passion in people. And I really think that, like, all right, if you told me, what would I do for the Mets to have made the playoffs this year? And instead of just sitting around today and Then playing, I probably would have taken on a little something. Maybe. Who knows? Just saying this conversation could become very morbid. It already has become. I mean, no one's saying they're going to take on any deadly things. But I mean, like, like if, you know, if I told you I was going to win some big thing. But Sam, you have to break your big toe. I think you'd break your big toe. Well, Danny brought up the scene. Go ahead, Danny. You can. From casino. Oh, yeah. The guy's like, where they say, like, you can walk out of here with the money, but we're like, break your knees or we'll break your hand and you get nothing. Was something like that. Yeah. And the guy's like, yeah, I'll take the broken hand. Yeah. They smash his fingers with the hammer. If I told, like, Sam, if I told you, Iowa, like shock the world, like next year and there's, you know, undefeated Football Playoff and won the whole thing. But we got to smash your hand with a hammer. Oh, my gosh. See? But that heals. It needs to be something that lasts forever, like herpes. Now we're handing out herpes. Now you're giving Sam herpes. I just want a broken hand. This is going odd here. I'm not going to consider that other option. This is a simple hand injury. Guys, thank God Kavino's back tomorrow. I know for the record, Sam would get a herpes if I would score 30 or more in a game. I go out and make bad decisions. Probably. Yeah. All right. Hey, guys, I want to thank all of you for holding down the fort. Dan Byer, thank you for being a fantastic co host. Thank you, Danny G. Just being the best producer in the biz. And I was. Sam, you bring the joy and spot. You're pretty cool, too. I stream videos. Best video guy in the biz. There you go. And our buddy Kavino will be back tomorrow and he'll probably have a smile on his face because. What are the Yankees up one? Nothing. Your Mets aren't in it. You're going to cheer for my Dodgers tonight. I am. Because you got Blake Snell versus Hunter Green. I am. And I'll tell you why. Because F the Reds. And something I want to talk about tomorrow. I think I have to accept the fact that my son wants to be a Dodgers fan. Yeah. So I don't know how to feel about this. We'll discuss all this. Thanks for hanging with Kavino and Rich until tomorrow. Arrived at, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Hey, this is Matt Jones. I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Cover Zero.
