That's usafencing.org trifencing and by the way, I am not bat pedaling at all. I do think this fan is a buffoon. I just think DK Metcalf has to have the, the resistance, the LA Resistance to say, but he didn't.

[Steve Covino]

So it's an easy excuse to say that. He talked about my mama and he said X, Y and Z. And we're not saying, and I'm definitely not saying that racist racism doesn't exist and that people aren't belligerent. But if that were the case here, the NFL would have done their due diligence to find out that that was true.

[Rich Davis]

Well, it's a lot of he said. It seems like he said, you know, it's a lot of nonsense, unless there's audio recordings of it, then you really just like, oh, who do you believe? And then it goes nowhere, you know.

[Steve Covino]

But there's witnesses, Rich. And you know, the NFL would do everything in their power to protect DK Metcalf. Like I said, truth and the spin. And the truth is that, yeah, maybe this fan did taunt him and call him by his birth name, and maybe he was getting under Metcalf skin. But the truth is Metcalf crossed the line and then he spun it as to why. Well, here's why I did it. And that's dangerous territory because you can't just use that as an excuse to be belligerent sometimes when. When in fact, stuff like that really does happen.

[Rich Davis]

Right.

[Steve Covino]

So you can't use that as an excuse. That's not a good look for the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

Say hi to Larry. Larry, go ahead. What's your take on this, buddy?

[Matt (Caller)]

Hey, listen here.

[Caller/Larry]

First of all, I want to defend that fan, because without the fans, the motor wouldn't keep rolling. That's for Fox Sports tv, Not all fans, because the guy has blue hair on. I don't think the way that guy is bashing the fan is like. But we got evidence of DK Metcalf. He's just another AJ Brown. And I don't believe that brother called him that. I don't believe that dude called him that. That's the first thing they want to do. And I'm a black man, and we hate when we see a brother go and pull that race card. DK Metcalf is a bonehead. He didn't have no business going in that fan ain't. Even if the fan was calling his.

[Rich Davis]

His.

[Caller/Larry]

His. His birth name. Go be mad at your mama. She named you so mad at your mama.

[Rich Davis]

And you know, Larry, I'm. I'm glad. I'm glad you did say that. I. I just think that.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, fans hearing us out, Rich, because it's just. You have to speculate all sides. Yeah, we know that there are trash bags that do say things like that, and they do say the wrong things. But, you know, if that were the case, the NFL would not have made this announcement as soon as they did. And his name's not so bad. The Kalin Zakarias Metcalf. Let's just hope he's better in the future, because it's a shame now he has to appeal. And he looks like he's lying about the whole thing. Like, and you don't. That shouldn't be the go to excuse, like Larry said. It's just.

[Rich Davis]

I don't. I don't think this is going to. I don't think we're going to hear about the story much more. I think it's sort of. I like to think. Here's my guess. They reduce it to one game. The Steelers have pretty much wrapped up that division anyway. Seeing the playoffs, Steelers sort of become a little backstory now. I told you, they ruined. They ruined everything yesterday by winning.

[Steve Covino]

We still got to talk about the fight. We got to talk about the Jags. We have last one standing. We have lots to get.

[Rich Davis]

How about Andy in Rhode Island? What's up, Andy? What's up, Andy? Hey, what's up, buddy?

[Caller/Larry]

Hey, check this out, guys. Before I get. Before I get on my. On my feet, I just want to say I am a big fan of Dan Buyer. After Friday, what I heard, he's a Survivor fan. Man, he has won me over. But to get to my take, it has to be the passing interference call that was missed by the refs in the Ravens and Patriots game. I don't know how the defender can just be allowed to tackle the guy before the ball even gets there. And then the ref is just standing in stone cold. And Mike Rabel had had a couple of words with him. I know, I know. Everyone saw that.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. That there was. There was a missed call there. Listen, they didn't. They didn't. I mean, they didn't really have much of a chance without Lamar Jackson moving forward, if you ask me. So I don't know. I think a couple. A couple rivalries fell apart yesterday, and I think any excitement, you felt more.

[Steve Covino]

Hurt than we thought. Think he is. It's been an off season this whole season. And as far as Dan Beyer, not only is Dan a great broadcaster, he's a good dude. So thanks for the phone call. Appreciate it.

[Danny G]

Great job.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Let's talk about the Jags real quick, Rich, because it seems like all of a sudden and the narrative changes week to week, so I get why it happens, but it's funny to observe, right? The Jags are the real deal. Like, I can't tell you how many times I read like they're super bowl bound, and they very well might be, but a week ago, we weren't really saying that, but they really did seem like the real deal because they beat the Broncos, man. They're now 11 and 4. The Broncos are 12 and 3. The Jags look legitimate. So we got to point that out from one week to the next. They Went from like, yeah, they're pretty good. I don't know if I'm believing that hype to then beating the Broncos and Super bowl bound is the buzz. The buzz. I can't say it's the narrative, but it's the buzz. They're looking solid. And because they beat the Broncos more solid than we thought.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you a couple plays and a couple things I saw over the weekend, and you let me know if you think it's like, trash or legit. Like yo's BS or legit. Okay, Go ahead. Number one. Speaking of Trevor Lawrence and the Jags, who look super bowl brown, bro. Yeah, I get it. They look great.

[Steve Covino]

What about a lot?

[Rich Davis]

When the. When the whistle was. What would a whistle.

[Steve Covino]

When a whistle was whistled, the whistles go woo.

[Rich Davis]

When the whistle was whistled and blow the whistle. When the whistle was blown. Yeah, whistles are blown. That's what it is.

[Danny G]

Your mama while you're under there. Rich.

[Rich Davis]

When the whistle was blown and the guy on the Broncos still took that hit on Trevor Lawrence, I feel like that could have been so much worse.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, man. From behind, his whole.

[Rich Davis]

Yo.

[Steve Covino]

His whole back went in.

[Rich Davis]

Yo.

[Steve Covino]

He popped up. He like scorpion midair.

[Rich Davis]

He popped up and actually started laughing with one of the other Bronco defenders. And I was like, all right, so it must have just looked a lot worse. But that could have been a season derailer. Danny G. Just imagine that's the play that injures Trevor Lawrence and he's.

[Steve Covino]

The season's over coming, Rich. It's in fighting, it's in boxing. It's. It's the ones do. You don't see coming. Do you see that?

[Danny G]

Yeah. The slow mo of that is insane. His body is just rocked. He looks like jello.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Like, I know it sounds ridiculous, but you've heard people say if you brace for a car accident sometimes you could get more hurt. Like maybe let your.

[Danny G]

Maybe that's why some people who are intoxicated will live through a bad accident.

[Rich Davis]

Unfortunately, the innocent people die. But, yeah, no, when you get hit like that sometimes maybe not seeing it coming is because Trevor Lawrence popped right back up. And I was like, thank God. Because that would have been what a. What a crappy storyline it would have been if the Jags were rolling and Trevor Lawrence gets hurt on a play that was blown dead, but the guy didn't hear it. Like, that would have been weak.

[Steve Covino]

That's a funny point, Rich. Maybe. Maybe there's something to that, because I don't know how he survived that his.

[Rich Davis]

Body, but not even survived the Camino, like, popped up like, yeah, no biggie. Another play. I wanted to bring up Baker Mayfield on that final drive. Was it Mike Evans who just cut the wrong way? Is that Evans trying to improvise, or is that a bad read on Evans? Did we ever hear anything.

[Danny G]

Yeah, I wondered the same thing because he broke the wrong direction, but he was also trying to extend the play.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. So, I mean, I think that might have just been like, hey, receiver, trying to extend the play. And instinctually they're usually on. But if that last interception looked like Baker just threw it into no man's land, it was because Mike Evans broke the opposite way. And if he had broke that way, maybe Tampa wins that game. So I thought that was interesting.

[Steve Covino]

Cavino, that's a great point.

[Rich Davis]

And the other one was on Saturday, the game that sort of went under the radar because there was no real stakes involved. It was just, you know, Philadelphia ensuring themselves a playoff spot and everything, winning that division. When Nick Sirianni goes for two in the fourth quarter when they're up by what, like 18, 17 points and Washington so offended that a fight breaks out. Are you like, Nick Sirianni made a great point. He goes. Is running up the score really going for two instead of one? It's one point and he going for the over.

[Commercial Announcer]

And.

[Rich Davis]

Or is he. No. Or is it simply. He was doing the math and it's like, well, then two touchdowns and a field goal. I don't know. BS or not. Do you think Nick Sirianni just kicks the extra point into some BS and calls like that?

[Steve Covino]

I wonder the same thing as you do. I don't know what's going on in that moment, but I don't believe in running up the score. I don't. I'm just not a believer of that. I think. Do what you can there.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Trying to think of any other thoughts before we get to the rest of your feedback, because we got a lot to get to today.

[Steve Covino]

How about the fight?

[Danny G]

Yeah, before the fight. Really quick, Covino, because haven't got to say anything about the Raiders except they stink in there. Dude, Ashton Genti running like that against the NFL's number one defense, they give up 14 points a game. And Genti scored that on his own. He was breaking tackles, he was catching passes. If you can get some real leadership there in Vegas with Bowers, Genty, of course, Max Crosby, you have some stars to build around. I think that makes it even more frustrating for Raiders fans.

[Rich Davis]

Did you see Tom Brady said he's going to take a more active role.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I have a question. I think, Danny, I'm going to be really positive about your Raiders. Okay. I think that, listen, there's, there's times they get blown out there. Like last week against the Chiefs.

[Danny G]

31 to nothing against both the Chiefs and the Eagles.

[Rich Davis]

And Max Crosby, you know, looked like his head was about to spin off out of frustration. There are games though where the Raiders do look like they're not far away. I don't think they're as. I don't know, like there are times where I'm like, are they that awful? Yeah, you need to get rid of Geno Smith.

[Danny G]

They're a confusing team because they're, they have some great starters and they have really, really bad depth. Bad backups. Like their second string guys couldn't even be third string guys on some other NFL teams.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, you could see how a secondary or the run game is exposed when, when they have the.

[Danny G]

Was exposed at the very start of the season.

[Steve Covino]

Danny G. Prom, so he's rocking his genty shirt today too. Look at him.

[Danny G]

Dude, that was fun. Watching him run that, that football yesterday. I. It gave me a little bit of hope at least if there could be some leadership in that building and if it's Tom Brady. Okay, it's Tom Brady. But let's get that fixed, please.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you know what, Danny, you should have hope because every year in the NFL, what do we see? We see one or two teams that.

[Danny G]

Stunk or up to four teams who didn't make the playoffs.

[Rich Davis]

They would say every year of the teams make the playoffs, like 40% of them are new every year. So every year there's a couple bottom feeders that are playoff contenders and a couple teams that were in the playoffs take a big step back. So hey, there's always next year. Is that been your phrase for a while though?

[Danny G]

Yeah, for too long.

[Rich Davis]

There's always next year.

[Danny G]

I'm sick of the draft being my fan base is super bowl and Kobe.

[Rich Davis]

I'm trying to think if there's anything I missed, but I think we can move along. The Chargers, Cowboys. I was close for a second but the Chargers pulled away. They're an interesting team. Right. Because they're sitting there at 11 and 4 and I don't think anyone's really taken them that seriously.

[Steve Covino]

No, I think the final observation is we got exactly what we thought we'd get from the fight and I found it to be entertaining. If you expected more, I think shame on you because it was supposed to be A spectacle. And the reason that you saw Jake Paul running around is he had a 6 foot 6 Olympic gold medal, two time heavyweight champion going after him. And eventually, when Jake Paul gassed himself out from sticking and moving and running and hitting, Anthony Joshua was able to land like a beast. And he was throwing powerful bombs that were getting to Jake Paul. And he eventually broke his jaw in two places. So anyone that thinks it's fake, I'd have to say, well, what do you think about the X rays? But I do think if there's any sort of wink, wink, it's like, hey, let's give the fans a show. Let's sort of spar for three rounds and then, hey, go at it and do whatever you gotta do. And I think that's exactly what happened. Anthony Joshua proved to everybody that there's levels to this. But as a result, we watched Jake Paul get his face bashed. Everybody wanted to see that. You saw, I'm humbled a little bit. They both won. Anthony Joshua made over 90 million. What? Jake Paul made $92 million. And I thought it was fun. It brought people together. I was with Rich and Sam and friends and had a good time. I wasn't expecting a masterful boxing lesson from two, you know, two former champions. I'll say Paul and it's Anthony Johnson.

[Rich Davis]

I'll say this, it was fun. I don't believe in the fix. If anything, maybe I believe in a gold medal heavyweight champion like an Anthony Joshua. You know, sometimes in the jungle we made this analogy. A lion or tiger plays with its food a little bit before it eats it.

[Steve Covino]

It's possible.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe you toy with, toy with Jake Paul a little bit and then you really fully unleash.

[Steve Covino]

Got a great workout, but I got a great sparring session. And I loved what he said at the end of the fight where he's like, if you're watching a basketball game, the other team's gonna score. But there's levels to this. So yeah, Jake Paul may have landed a few punches, but it's boxing. That's just what's bound to happen. So did those punches affect Anthony Joshua in any way? And the answer is no. But getting hit, that's just part of it. And Anthony Joshua did his thing and maybe we get a fury fight, but look, they both won, they both made a lot of money. And I thought it was an entertaining night. I had a good time with it. Not hating, but we got exactly what we expected. Anthony Joshua is just at a different level. He's a, he's a world Class fighter who fought a guy who's fought for what, six years. But, and I won't take away from the huevos that Jake Paul wears in this moment. I would not do that. So I give him props.

[Danny G]

Covino, it's a big bite. He's got plates and you know, the dental war, the teeth removed and screws in his mouth. So now there's people speculating online whether or not this could, you know, stop his boxing career from continuing.

[Steve Covino]

It'll stall it for, for sure. I mean he's not the first boxer to get his jaw broken, you know, in those places. I couldn't tell you. I saw the X rays, I saw the metal places, metal plates. But now he steps down to a weight that's more suffice to him, which is probably cruiser weight. And maybe he could dominate. Like AJ said, he's got guts, he's got spirit. You need those things. You can't train for those things. He's got the huevos to step in there now. He needs to work harder and get into a better weight class.

[Rich Davis]

I thought it was thoroughly entertaining. It played out rich.

[Steve Covino]

That's all I expected.

[Rich Davis]

It played out exactly how many people predicted. In fact, I put 20 bucks on a few rounds for a knockout. I hit 20, paid 340 on a sixth round knockout. I thought, nor are you at the mall. Earlier we saw, like I said, Anthony Joshua maybe just feeling him out for a little while, but at no point with it was Anthony Joshua hurt, sweating, winded or anything. And you saw Jake Paul and even mentioned in the post fight where you fight a guy that big, it takes so much out of you cardio wise. It's interesting because I had a gold guys night at my house and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. And there's Sam the curmudgeon on the couch and he's like what was that? What was, what was that?

[Steve Covino]

Sam Hayes? Because what was that? It wasn't like a, it wasn't a traditional boxing match.

[Rich Davis]

That's how you should look at it. But you weren't entertained. No, I was entertained.

[Steve Covino]

Gladiator style.

[Rich Davis]

Listen, it was an entertaining thing to watch.

[Steve Covino]

It was a spectacle from a boxing competitiveness standpoint.

[Rich Davis]

I was looking at the wrong way.

[Spot (Fact Checker)]

Because what the 5, 6 inch height.

[Rich Davis]

Difference, the reach, the weight, you know.

[Steve Covino]

Anthony Joshua is like a boxer, a.

[Rich Davis]

Professional and Jake Paul is like a YouTuber sort of under, you know, going on this like reality show mission makes it intriguing, that is.

[Steve Covino]

No, you're right, that's the way to look at it.

[Rich Davis]

But Also, if you want to be a right.

[Steve Covino]

Real fights matter. Late January, Tiafimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson is going to be a technical masterclass of boxing. It's going to be a chess match. So watch.

[Rich Davis]

Is that code for boring together?

[Steve Covino]

Well, no, because if you really want to see some good boxing, you're going to see a master at defense and Teofimo, a master of footwork trying to, trying to land in there.

[Rich Davis]

Sounds like a boring equation. Would you. When you say, when you say.

[Steve Covino]

How about a fight that matters, Rich? Because this fight matters nothing. But it was fun.

[Rich Davis]

Will someone get their jaw broken?

[Danny G]

Maybe over the weekend. Did you guys. I'm sure you saw some of the memes and the jokes about will YouTube have them back? And some of the low hanging fruit that people were grabbing onto are those just haters of all haters. Because he did have to show the heart of a lion to stand in there and take those hits.

[Rich Davis]

I thought it was, I thought it was great. I thought everything about it was entertaining. I think Anthony Joshua came out looking like a real gentleman and now he might have new fans because it's like, oh, who's this Anthony Joshua guy? The people that don't know boxing. I thought everything about it was great. I thought even from him walking in wearing Hulkamania stuff, real American played for a second, like there was such a.

[Steve Covino]

Spectacle, he could be years from now rubbing it on our face saying, hey, I foreshadowed it right there. Much like wrestling, this is all just entertainment.

[Rich Davis]

Well, he can't say that because. He can't say that because it was. You could bet on it. He'd go to prison.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly.

[Rich Davis]

So he can never admit that.

[Steve Covino]

He may have subtly admitted it by coming out like the Hulkster, but I will never take anything away from him because I would never do that. And I think it takes some guts to get in there. And I thought it was fun. I actually agree with Rich. It gave us a night out. Yep. We, we had a good time. And that's it, man. Hope you guys enjoyed the fight.

[Rich Davis]

All right, well, hey, coming up, we are going to play Last One standing, a show game that we play that gives everyone anxiety. It's a lot of fun. If you want in, you can win a Cavino Rich Nerf turbo football. Throwing some koozies if you do extra well. Well, we'll do that next again. Let's get a Contestant now at 87799 on Fox. Little Monday Show Christmas week. Let's go.

[Steve Covino]

Timeout. Holiday upgrade. Check. You still watching the games on the old small tv. If you are, you're only seeing half the game.

[Rich Davis]

Don't want to do that.

[Steve Covino]

You know what I saw on my tcl, Rich? We should have talked about it. On things that make you go Cam little hitting those 73 yard field goals.

[Rich Davis]

We're going to.

[Danny G]

You know what?

[Rich Davis]

Save that because I have thoughts on this, dude. But that's the type of stuff you'll see in your TCL. Crystal clear. The real MVP is TCL's QM8K. That's the QD Mini LED. Ultimate Brightness ultimate black levels. The ultimate ultimate experience. Picture so clear you could taste the turf, as they say.

[Steve Covino]

And it's not just the Jags and them being super bowl bound. And Cam Little, it's not just foosball. Movies look cinematic. Watch a holiday, watch a Christmas classic. On it. It's a wonderful life. Games feel smoother. And yes, your company notices.

[Steve Covino]

I just had to throw something out there.

[Rich Davis]

No, I was saying it's. There's no chance it could be an east team other than the Celtics.

[Steve Covino]

I just. Well, when you're throwing things out there.

[Rich Davis]

I know, but I'm saying there's no east team. They played more than once.

[Steve Covino]

Look how rude you are with the wrong answer. When you were wrong myself, you didn't get it right. Hey, dummy, Mr. Know It all, you.

[Rich Davis]

Better get it wrong because I'm gonna go be stugot.

[Steve Covino]

Because it's called I'm running out of time since my answers were taken.

[Danny G]

So I just threw a tag right there speaking out of running out of time.

[Steve Covino]

Smart. You would have got it.

[Danny G]

All right, Covino and Loen Cron both on the board. We go to the third category.

[Spot (Fact Checker)]

[Danny G]

[Caller/Larry]

[Rich Davis]

Christian McCaffrey on the list.

[Spot (Fact Checker)]

He is on the list at the very bottom. 820.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I was gonna say I wonder. I wondered if 800 made the list.

[Danny G]

He's a cutoff low.

[Matt (Caller)]

And cron lad McConkey.

[Spot (Fact Checker)]

Not on the list.

[Danny G]

Matt.

[Caller/Larry]

I'm gonna go with maybe Garrett Wilson.

[Spot (Fact Checker)]

Garrett Wilson not on the list.

[Danny G]

That means Rich wins that round.

[Matt (Caller)]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

And dude, to time constraints. We're going to have to come back with. Yeah, we'll do our tie break on the other side. All right, so that means Rich, Lowen, Kron and Covino are going to battle it out.

[Rich Davis]

Perfect. Hey, thanks for playing, Fargo.

[Danny G]

Yeah, we appreciate you, Matt.

[Matt (Caller)]

Thank you.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you so much, Matt. Happy holidays, man.

[Rich Davis]

Merry Christmas and happy Chunica.

[Steve Covino]

Chinooka. Chinooka.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Isaac?

[Matt (Caller)]

Well, what's up is the NFL today suspending Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf two games without pay for initiating a physical confrontation with a Detroit Lions fan on Sunday. He will appeal. Metcalf, not the Lions fan. The attorney for the fan issued a statement today, in fact denying an NFL media report that the fan directed a racial slur at Metcalf and also said something derogatory about Metcalf's mother. The Kansas City Chiefs will be moving to the state of Kansas for the 2031 season after the state of Kansas today unanimously approved a bond project for a new domed stadium, which will be approximately 25 miles west of Arrowhead Stadium. And Covino and Rich, in wake of this momentous news, let's step into the Fox Sports Radio time machine and fast forward to opening day of the 2031 NFL season. A spectacular Sunday afternoon in the Sunflower State today, from the brand new Cargill Meat Solutions Dome, it's the Kansas. Kansas City Chiefs of Kansas against the Northwest Indiana Bears. Hype already building for that matchup. We have more Chiefs news. Multiple outlets report that Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew did not tear his ACL in yesterday's loss to the Titans, as initially, Sesame street helped raise all of us. Now it's our turn. Donate this holiday [e-mail] because the world needs sesame and sesame needs you, finally in Major League Baseball. Well, you want to handle this one, Rich?

[Rich Davis]

The Mets said later to you. Jeff McNeil he goes to the A's for a young prospect pitcher. So the Mets no longer with Diaz, Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Brendan Nimmo. Stearns is tearing it up. He's saying goodbye to this Mets team.

[Matt (Caller)]

Could not have said it better myself. Thank you Rich. Back to you Rich and Cavino.

[Rich Davis]

And by the way Isaac, I love you on the call in 2030 something. I feel like Isaac could, Isaac could take over.

[Steve Covino]

No, that was great. It really was. And by the way Rich, you're saying the Mets are dismantling and they're rebuilding or they're done or whatever. Like they still got so many superstars though. So who are they? Like what are the Mets?

[Rich Davis]

No, but I'm saying I don't mind Marcus, Simeon and Polanco and listen and.

[Steve Covino]

Soto and half the Yankees old bullpen like you have stars but you're like getting rid of all these other people that were the core of the team. So you got. I don't know what you're trying to do.

[Rich Davis]

Well if you haven't won and you've had this course since the late 20 teens, isn't it really. Isn't that the idea? I'm sort of okay with it to be honest. So anyway we'll, we'll get to the final round of last one standing and we all missed by the way in that last round Amarant St. Brown. He. How do we. None of us said him on Jesus. Shame on us. All right, we got more coming on Red Rich next as we go live here from the Tyrack.com studio. And by the way, quick time out. Kavino holiday upgrade check. He's still watching games on that whack ass old TV of yours and you got your TCL upgrade.

[Steve Covino]

Well you shouldn't tap out in the red zone. TCL's QM8K QD mini LED is the real MVP. Ultimate brightness, ultimate black levels for the ultimate experience. Pictures so clear you can almost taste the turf.

[Rich Davis]

And it's not just football. Christmas movies, games, fight night all looks great on a tcl. Here's the play. Holiday savings on sel. TCL is going on now. Premium Go Premium with the QM8K brilliant picture, huge sound, ultimate choice or the versatile QM6K for an elevated game day experience.

[Steve Covino]

Don't overthink it. Lacking the ultimate experiences with epic savings, undeniable bragging rights all season long. Get it while supplies last.

If anyone has ever said you snored loudly or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep sleep which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation. Learn more at.

[Steve Covino]

We have to continue the game back to Danny of last one Standing.

[Danny G]

It's going into overtime, just like the Chicago Green Bay game. All right, here we go. Whoever comes closest, just buzz in with your name to go. How Many total receiving TDs did Randy Moss score in his 14 seasons in the NFL? Regular season numbers. How many total receiving touchdowns did Randy Moss score in his 14 seasons? Think about it for a sec.

[Rich Davis]

Write down your number, Camino. So I don't think you just play off of my number. I don't trust you.

[Steve Covino]

I think you've played in the past.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, I'll go first, you bird brains. 138.

[Steve Covino]

Well, I wrote down a number, so here you go. I wrote it before you even said it. Okay, I got it. Right.

[Rich Davis]

Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no.

[Matt (Caller)]

Good one.

[Steve Covino]

In all the scribble right here, I'm sticking with my answer.

[Rich Davis]

140.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, forget where I wrote Rich as a nerd. Yeah, right there.

[Danny G]

All right.

[Matt (Caller)]

No, I'm serious about this. I was going to guess 139.

[Rich Davis]

Real, so 138. 139, 140.

[Steve Covino]

I just gave it 10 a year average.

[Rich Davis]

I give it 10 a year minus 2. That's so funny. Yeah, because I know he had the most in a season, but that couldn't be every season.

[Matt (Caller)]

So there's no way I'm going to win unless it is 139.

[Danny G]

The actual retail touchdown number 156. Covino is the champion.

[Steve Covino]

I did it. I did it.

[Rich Davis]

Who do you think you are?

[Matt (Caller)]

I am.

[Caller/Larry]

Who do you think you are?

[Steve Covino]

I am. That's right. Yeah, buddy.

[Danny G]

That is Covino's. Even though it sounds like his 40th victory, that's Covino's 12th win in this game.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, dude, it's my week. Hey, you know what? I needed a win, man. I was due. So that's great. What a great way to start the holiday week, man. And now it's time. Thank you, guys. By the way, more prizes, more games tomorrow. Iron Mike trivia. Your chance to win a CNR on fs. Are Nerf football a great stocking stuffer? Not as great as a severed foot, but a great stocking stuffer for the holidays. Iron Mike trivia tomorrow.

[Rich Davis]

That's one of my favorite. Mitch Hedberg. The late, great Mitch Hedberg, comedian. He said, you know what the best stocking stuffer is? Well, probably the best thing is a severed foot.

[Steve Covino]

Yes, you know, the best fitting one. But tomorrow, more prizes every day. More bribery to get you here. But Rich, you got to give us your Monday Night Football pick.

[Rich Davis]

Well, hold on. Speaking of severed feet, how about non severed feet? Feet you talked about before? Cam Little. In warmups, this guy's hitting 75 yard field goals.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no, he missed the 75.

[Rich Davis]

He had a 73.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he made the 73.

[Rich Davis]

Would have been good for like 78.

[Danny G]

Exactly.

[Rich Davis]

So I got to ask you this. Oh, are we going to in practice.

[Steve Covino]

Just in case you missed?

[Rich Davis]

Are we going to have to change the field goal ball? Are we going to have to do something different or are we going to get to a point where. Listen, Danny, you pointed this out. On a kickoff, if it goes through the end zone, they get it at the 35. With Cam Little, you need one first down in your field goal range. One first down in your field goal range.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I mean, win plays a factor. We saw that yesterday. It's not a guarantee.

[Rich Davis]

You get one first down and you stall out on third and five. You're at midfield and all of a sudden your. Your field goal kicker's good to go.

[Steve Covino]

Not everyone's hitting 73 yarders.

[Danny G]

Covina. Just a decent return now and Right. Little would be in field goal range. Yep.

[Steve Covino]

So, yeah, I mean, with today's foot and the new rules. Yeah, it's possible.

[Rich Davis]

Rich man magic he's doing. And it's so funny because they all do the same thing. He just has such like hip and leg movement. Like how. Because he's not like some weird anomaly. It's like, look, he's a huge guy. Like, mechanically, he got Thunderfoot.

[Steve Covino]

Thunderfoot, bro. Thunderfoot. Hey, and by the way, don't be stalling, because I think there's a little chance you're like ultra confident in your 49ers tonight, and I get it. But I think there is a chance that Philip Rivers surprises some people tonight.

[Rich Davis]

You want drugs?

[Steve Covino]

You know why? Because he just fell short last week and he should have had that game.

[Rich Davis]

Do you take a Happy Holiday edible or what?

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no. Well, I take no pride in seeing your team lose, but I'm saying that there's a chance and you're really downplaying it. And I think that's when people get caught.

[Rich Davis]

I am not. But I'm not being overconfident and I'm not being the guy's like, my team's awesome. Because I know the Niners have their deficiencies. They do look great. They do hold their own path to the playoffs. They could be the one seed if they win out. All I'll say is this, Indianapolis, the only advantage they have is they're at home. Other than that, if the 49ers in a playoff run where they have a chance to win out and possibly week 18 could be against the Seahawks or a 1 seed. If you don't beat a 44 year old guy that hasn't played in 5 years, you deserve nothing. So Niners cover the 4 and a half or 5 and a half, whatever it is, is. Go Niners. Monday Night Football. I'm going home now to watch. Happy holidays, suckers. Arriva thereti, baby.

[Steve Covino]

See you in the promised land.

[Danny G]

What a matchup we got, y'.

[Steve Covino]

All.

[Danny G]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beating everybody showing that school pride. Game like this, yeah, it calls for an ice cream cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and in ice cold Coca Cola.

[Rich Davis]

That's a winning combo.

[Danny G]

No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work. Work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
