I caught up last night on Love is Blind. Are you all caught up? Yeah. Waiting for the next round. What is it, Friday? Friday. You know what's interesting? Rich was such a bachelor boy back in the early 2000s. You skip out on Bachelor on a Monday night to watch Love is Blind? Goes to show you where the juice is at. Yeah, the Bachelor. Old news. Love is Blind uncensored. More wackos. There's a guy. Love is Blind. Got the juice not to spoil anything, but this dude Dave. Such a weak ass with a sunburned face. Dude, talk about the weakest dude. Maybe he's a nice guy. Hey, maybe he's listening now. We do have affiliates in Minneapolis. What's up, Weird Dave from Love is Blind. Rich, his sister wouldn't like hearing this on the radio. Every other word out of his mouth is, I don't know what my sister would think of this. You care about what your siblings think? Yes. I mean, it depends what we're talking about. If it's like, do I care what they think about Steven and his spending habits? No, I don't care what they think. Do I care about their opinion on whether or not I'm a good person? Yeah. Not like who you're dating. Um, yeah. Then you wouldn't have married your ex wife if that was the question. No, no, because you want them to get along, so it does matter. I can't say I don't care. Then again, they don't know what's necessarily, I should say, my style or my taste. Yeah, because the people they would choose for you are probably not the people you would choose. The way he talks about her, though, it's like his manager. Oh, really? I got to run this by my sister. That's weird. Yeah, well, I mean, everybody has different relationships. Not to go off the rails on Love is Blind because there's a really fun story in the world of sports and Hollywood that sort of ties together and has to do with greatness. I want to get to, but there's a really funny angle. Danny G. Camino's not watching, so let me throw it out there real quick. Don't you assume that before you met the woman you're with, there was just other dude kicking it to her or she had a boyfriend before you? Yeah. Do you think it's the most lame? She looks like large Marge. Unless she. Unless she's a sea hag. Yeah, of course she had other guys before you. I'm fascinated. There's this dude on Love is Wine that she's so hung up on. Wait, before you went on the show, like, you were talking to some dude? Yeah, that was our first reaction to my wife and I. Richard. The difference here, though, is the guy that she hooked up with is in his circle of friends, so he knows who the guy is. Like an ancillary guy. Yeah, but still, like, if, like, if, you know, if you notice too much, you went on a dating show and, you know, clean slate. But it was like, wait, before you entered the pods, used to date Danny G. Yeah. I think that's a game changer because, like, I know Danny G. So I know she has bad judg. No, but there's girls that I've dated, and then I realized they hooked up with Rich, and I'm like, ugh, off the market. I, like, not interested anymore. For real. So I understand that. Can't compete. No, Just like, again, bad judgment. Yeah. And he doesn't want to have to take penicillin. Exactly. I don't know what she's got now. All right, well, hey, love is blind. Good time filler to wait for things like tonight. Lakers, Mavericks. We'll get to that. Well, I could tie your love is blind thing into an actual conversation that we had planned out. And that is. Life is a competition. It really is. You could pretend like it's not. But we're all trying to be our best selves. And we're all keeping up with the Kardashians. We're all trying to, you know, be our best. To be the best. I look at it this way. I approach life from a sports background, from a sports mentality. Meaning you're trying to be great. You're trying to do your best. Are we all going to be the next Michael Jordan? Are we all going to be the next Michael Phelps? The answer is no. So when you realize you can't do that, whatever it is you end up doing, you still try to bring that mentality to your workplace. At least that's how I approach things in life. Right. And again, sports mentality. I grew up as a kid playing sports. Didn't pan out the way I thought it would. You know, every kid wants to be a baseball player. Listen, dude, I get it. I'm the winningest coach on Fox Sports Radio. That's true. So again, you approach everything in life the same way. At least that's how I feel. I teach the little kids. You got to learn how to win the right way, but also lose the right way. And my point is, even on a show like Love is Blind or the Bachelor or whatever stupid game show you're on, you're bringing your best and you're trying to beat out everybody. Love is a battlefield. It's the game of love. Did you make that up? I did. I think, yeah. But. Yeah, the game of life is a competition in a lot of ways, which is why. But there's. There's plenty of room for everybody to win, though, Rich. Which is why this Timothee Chalamet story, who, by the way, as we've learned in the last couple months, is a huge sports fan and a knowledgeable one at that, Especially college football. Yeah, college sports seems to be his thing, him and his Raiders fan. He was rocking an old school Raider jacket in Paris. He's. He's a Raiders guy, and he's good pals with Matt Die Grossau. So we know what Timothy Chalamet is made of. He's a guy that loves sports, but he just happens to be a pretty damn good actor. And he won a SAG award the other night. I know you like it when they sag a little bit. A little sag. When he wins the SAG award, he gives a speech. I should win a SAG award. He gives a speech. That rubs some people the wrong way. I thought it was awesome. Again, maybe because I'm a sports fan and I understand a sports mentality, competitive mentality. Why do people like to pretend like you are competing In a lot of ways. Guess what? Everybody listening right now at work or coming back from work, everybody's trying to take your job. If you're somewhere high up there, they want your job. They might not admit it. They might not wish any harm in your life. It might not be a direct reflection of how they feel about you, but if you're getting paid more, they want your job. It's very competitive. No, but it's a competitive world that we live in. If, again, you have a sports mentality, and you already said it, Timothy Chalamet is a kid who loves his sports, probably played all sorts of sports growing up, realized he's a little weenie, and said, you know what? I'm never going to make it in professional sports. But I got this mentality and mindset, and I'm going to use it in this field of acting, in this new career that I've found. Not to reiterate what you said, but think about that. When pursuing a woman you care about, when you're going for that job you want. If you were a kid that grew up playing sports and you have that mentality built into you, that's how a lot of us view life. Take a listen to Chalamet's speech. I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by the greats here tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis as I am about Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps. And I want to be up there. So I'm deeply grateful to that. This, this doesn't signify that, but it's a little more fuel, it's a little more ammo to keep going, I think, on a pursuit for greatness. How cool is that? That's amazing. You would think that everybody applauded that speech because it was off the cuff. And it wasn't the kiss ass speech you normally hear to the Academy or to the people, the SAG awards or my fellow actors who I want to kiss your ass. And everybody would have kiss ass stroke fest. He's like, yo, I'm trying to beat all your asses here. I'm trying to be the best. I'm not playing games. I'm here to win now. And I think that's so cool, dude, and refreshing. Yet he's getting backlash for that. Now the only rub is that art is subjective. Then why are they giving away out awards, Rich? Okay, so don't give me that hogwash. Don't give me a subjective when you're giving out awards. It's an award show. He wanted to win. I commend him for being honest here and saying, nah, I wanted to be all your weak asses. A complete unknown. He won for that the Bob Dylan story. SAG Awards. Now we're heading into the Oscars this weekend and again, the story's becoming a bit of a thing because they're like, oh, we don't like his attitude toward, you know, the Academy and his competitive nature. I want to be the Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps of what I do. And I think everybody should have that same approach or whatever it is they do. Well, with all due respect, the people chirping the loudest on the other side or like a lot of these cackling women on like the View and these roundtable shows. What show did you find this on? Oh, well, this has gone viral too. But this is just one of many clips and one that aggravated me the most. It's from the Social. I don't even know what that is. Melissa goes on a rant about how offended she is by what Chalamet said about wanting to be great in his pursuit of greatness. I don't wanna knock anybody's hustle, but Timothy, that should have stayed in your journal, my friend. Not even funny. Number one inside. What are they laughing at? Unfunny Timothy. You know, there's like inside thoughts and outside thoughts. And he just blurted it out. And I just thought to myself, you little brat, that's really. Hold on, Paul. Are people holding up laugh signs? Yes, they must be. There must be like a button, like a laugh studio track. I'm sure there's a light that says applause. Hey, Sam, I'm point to you every time. I want you to play. That wrecked him. Damn near killed him. My dad always used to say that joke. So to me, criticizing someone's pursuit of greatness, whether it's in the arts, in sports, as an accountant, as a doctor, as a scientist, like, aren't we all pursuing greatness and trying to be the best we could be? Like, how could you criticize this dude getting up there who comes from a sports background who said, listen, I admire the greats. You inspire me. I want to. The way Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps are great. I want to be that in acting. And she says, do you love me? And she says, no, but that's a real nice scheme Asking little delay on that blacktrack there, is it? Cause I'm Mexican. It's on delay. Oh, yeah, that's on delay. On delay on a Taco Tuesday. Now continue with this nonsense that this woman on the Social spits about. Chalamet. Sam. Yeah, let's pick it up. Because she has a problem with his pursuit of greatness. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. If my daughter up there went up there and said something like that, I'd be like to quote one Kendrick Lamar. Be humble. Here's the thing with acting. It's not like a sport where you can rack up numbers, you know, oh, I've got so many wins and I'm the best. And I'm the next Michael Jordan. I'm the next Tiger Woods. It's not like that in art. Art. Guess what? Guess who determines if you're great? Your audience. Not you. Then stop giving out Awards, you idiots. I don't understand that. Yes, Art is subjective. We could all agree, right? I could look at something, think it's the stupidest thing ever. Other people put high value on it because it's subjective. It's art. Then stop giving out awards if you're gonna give out awards. I don't blame Timothy Shalomala. Shalamelading. Dong. No. As Adam Sandler would call him. Oh, yes, a Timothy Chalamet. You can't blame him for wanting to win. I love that he's a winner. I love his attitude. I think we should all take a little piece of that competitive edge to whatever it is we do. Especially on today. You know what today's the anniversary of? Today. Today is the anniversary of. I'll reenact you ready? I'm the greatest of all time. I'm the greatest today. Who said that they were the greatest of all time? That baller. His mama called him Cassius. I'mma call him Cassius. No, not Pete Weber. Today's the day. Cassius Clay, even though he's a great. Who do you think you are? I am Cassius Clay on this day, Beats Sonny Liston. And it was Muhammad Ali's first heavyweight title. I am the greatest. So Timothy Chalamet. Timothy Chalamet, who's fantastic. I think he's a great young actor. I'll tell you where he won me over. No joke. I was on a flight and never would I have thought to watch Wonka. Same. And I was like, I never liked the original. You know what? I'm like, I'm on a flight, it's free on Delta or American, whatever. I was flying, and I said, I'll watch it. And I'm like, this kid's great. Same. I felt the same exact way. He. He had me at hello. He had me at Wonka. And here's the question. Based on that, you got this kid who's really refreshing. He's going up there like a bro, saying, yeah, I'm here to, like, you know, kick everyone's ass. I'm here to be one of the greats. I want everybody in this stupid academy to know I'm here for victory and I'm here to win. I want to be up there with Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps, with all the greats in acting. I want to be considered a great. I think that's awesome. I love that. Even more about the dude, when someone says stuff like that. Again, it's Fox Sports Radio. Do you embrace it or do you let it rub you the wrong Way, like, should other be other people be saying those things about you? That was the criticism that Ricky Henderson got many, many years ago when he broke Lou Brock's record. Ricky Henderson was on. He was on second base, right? He stand. He grabs the bass. He steals that one, too. He holds it up in the air and he's like, and today I'm the greatest of all time. And he was, because he was the record holder. But he got a lot of criticism for that, too. Like, hey, man, let someone else pat you on the back and toot your horn. I'll be tooting your own. I'll. I'll pat Timothy Chalamet on the back for a. Being a knowledgeable sports fan, for being a hell of an actor. And he's dating Kylie Jenner, who's quite the look. Major problem. So Timothy Chalamet, Chevy Meningo gets some props from Covino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. The pursuit of greatness. There's nothing wrong. There's never anything wrong. I think you could be humble and express that you're out for greatness all at the same time. DB Your thoughts on this. I will readily admit that I want your job. Like, I'm not. Like, I'm. But I say that in the most respectful way of being in this business of having my show or my name on the show in that window. Like, yeah, I think that's what we. I don't want to say we all do because I don't know. But that's. That's my. That's the refreshing honesty that we're getting here from his speech, though. Best we can do a Sam's job. Dan. Sorry. Sailing is the roof. Is the. No, no, no. Is going to plant drugs on you at the next. Already done. Already done. I have a Patreon show, too, that we do every day. And I forget where the. I'm pretty sure the conversation came up there, but we. We went on some sort of mission about. Like, you assume people know what you're after or know what you want, whether it be in relationships, that hot woman that you know, that job opening. Like, you assume that people know what you're after, but not necessarily. You need to make it clear sometimes. I want that job. Hey, I want to be with you. I like you. I want to spend time with you. You need to let people know. How many times do you hear people say, oh, I didn't know. How many times have you seen a woman. Well, on a. In a rom com. Oh, my God, I would have never known you've always had a crush on me. Like, you should have told her. And to back up with Dan Byer said, dan, the job's yours. Guess. Guess what? We want Dan Patrick's job when he retires. Yeah. I mean, to say that no one has their eye on a prize is ridiculous. And he's saying, my eye is on being the best. I'm picking out great roles so that I could be considered one of the best in acting. Breast. I was thinking of his girlfriend. That's why. Oh, I was. Samuel, play the Timothee Chalamet speech one more time. Because he references the greats in movies and then he compares it to some sports figures. I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we're in a subjective business. Say he even said that, but the truth is, I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by the greats here tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps. And I want to be up there. So I'm deeply grateful to that. This doesn't signify that, but it's a little more fuel. It's a little more ammo to keep going. By the way, you think anybody that we admire in entertainment or sports, you think any of these people didn't have the same exact mentality? You think it just happened because they were swell fellas? No, they were after greatness. Who does everyone sweat? Our Generation sweatshirt 2 basketball players more than anyone. Michael Jordan, who he learned in Last Dance, is a psychopath. And Kobe Bryant Mamba mentality like cutthroat. I'll kill you. Like, so you look at some of the greats. This makes me love Timothy Chalamet. Me too. You got a number one super fan, Timothy Chalamet? Because same. I like the honesty. I'm his number one super fan. You're his number one? Rich just said he was. No, I'm number one. He's number two. Come on. I want to be his number one super fan. Like, I'm letting everybody know Rich already took the spot. You can have it. Because sometimes the number two is better than the number one. Oh, well, yeah, that is true. Especially after their Taco Tuesday. Guys, your thoughts? Because I think it's gross. Here's what I think. I think it's gross. I don't know this person from the social. So it's nothing personal. Yeah, she's probably a sweet lady, but she's also a person that is speaking on behalf of a lot of people, though. A lot of people that are like, art's subjective. Where's his humility? This is not how, you know, entertainers should react. In fact, the whole, like, premise of this speech is like, wow, Chalamet really stepped out of the norm here with this speech. You know who she's talking to, though? And I don't know who it is. I don't know the show. She's talking to the other women who are at the table, meaning, like, I don't want to be in your chair, but you know darn well on the view of the American version, there's somebody that wants to be in Whoopi's chair. Right. But this is her trying to cover up with her three friends there of like, but we really gotta get off this Dan, where, like, you know, where we're pretending to not want to bring and be our best because you're just raising a bunch of lame o lazy kids. Where we should be preaching exactly what Chalamet's saying right there. Like, all right, I have a teenage daughter. You think I want to show her what this woman's saying, or do I want to show her what Chalamet saying? No. Go after greatness and be the best that you could be. The end. We'll take your feedback next if you want to chime in. 87799 on Fox. A true winning mentality from. It's a sports mentality, Rich. It really is. And that's what's separating him from the other nerds in Hollywood. What's interesting is that all these kids audition against each other. Isn't that the competition of all competitions? You would think so, right? Trust me. You audition for a big movie role. That's. That's. That's. Are they not competing? Auditioning for what? A bunch of fraud? An academy award level movie is the same. Is trying to make a starting rotation in baseball. It is the elite competition. Good luck. Is that subjective? No. Someone beat your ass out. No doubt. Work harder. All right, well. Hey, Camino Rich, Fox Sports ready on that.

Everything you do in life, everything is competitive, no matter what. My daughter's a big nerd. For real. She's a cute kid. She's a cheerleader. She's not like a typical nerd like some people I know growing up. Why did you just look at I was Sam. He said that. I did not. My point is, even in the world of smarts and academics, you should see how competitive these kids are with their grades. My daughter has a 4.0. I'm like, that's not good enough. These kids are so competitive and they even talk down to kids who they think are lesser than when it comes to their smarts. We, growing up with sports, always competitive. When you have that competitive mindset, it trinkles down. Trinkles trickles. Whatever, Trinkle. I'll go with trinkle. I like trinkling into whatever it is you do moving forward. So again, I said it before when I realized I wasn't playing shortstop for the Yankees only because they had Jeter. My next step was broadcasting. Yeah, he had it covered. And so I was like, all right, I get it. Whatever I did moving forward, I heard it wasn't because you didn't want to shave your goatee in the 90s. No, but, dude, it's true. That is true. Actually, I forget who said this. Let's just say my grandma. For fun. My tita. Whatever it is you do in life, if you're mopping floors at McDonald's, you bring your best and you become the best. You bring that competitive mentality to the forefront so that you could be the best. And Timothee Chalamet, as a sports fan, I believe he's done that in the world of acting. In fact, he admitted it when he received a SAG award and it rubbed all these nerdy arts people the wrong way. Yeah. One last time, take a listen to Chalamet. Chalame. I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is, I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by the greats here tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps. And I want to be up there. So I'm deeply grateful to that. This. This doesn't signify that, but it's a little more fuel, it's a little more ammo to keep going. Hell yeah. And I hope he wins the Academy Award this weekend. And by the way, you don't think that same mindset applies to Taylor Swift or Kendrick Lamar or David Grace or you? Dude, they're after it. You got to be after Nesta mentality that everybody needs to have that and that we need to preach to our kids, not the BS backlash that the kids getting. Because the point is, he's getting a lot of backlash from that. Because art's subjective. No, everything's competitive. Let's go back to the phones and see what you think about it, because I really commend what he said. And Rich is saying. Rich said it before. He really won everybody over. I love. Because I originally saw the headline like, oh, Chalamet fumbles his speech. And I'm like, fumbles nails it, you losers. Exactly. So backwards. We need to fix it. Don in Kansas. What's up, man? Kavino and Rich. Hey, thanks for having me on. I've got five boys. The four oldest are athletes. The youngest one's an actor. They're all competitive. They all. They all want to be successful. They're all successful just because the ones the actor he wants to have, as the kids say, his flowers, he wants to have his recognition. The thing that I find interesting is two things. This lady that's making the comment on whatever show, she's interested in having her viewpoint heard by as many people as possible. She's not saying, hey, I want to stay on this little show and be a little part of this little show. She wants it to be big. And this is a room full of people whose egos, some of whom can't be contained in that room, who would die to be giving this award. So, dude, you're so right. You're talking about a roundtable show of, you know, like, A women roundtable show. You don't think they all want to have huge ratings, like beat the View or something? Exactly. And again, you know, art subjective. Then why are they at an award show? I don't get that. Yeah. It's so contradictory and hypocritical. Back to the phones and thanks, man. I appreciate that call. I appreciate it. And speaking of competition, Covino. Yeah. And the quote Mamba mentality that Matt wants to talk about. We should all have the Mamba mentality. I see it with the little kids. I just started coaching T ball. I've been coaching my daughter for a couple years, but now I'm coaching my son. One of the dads goes, you'll see real quick that the minute one or two of the boys start picking something up, they, at five years old, like, well, I can't let little Justin do it if I can't do it. And they get competitive at that age, and that's the best way to do it. And I love that, that mindset too. Well, if this guy could do it, I could do it. That's how I got into radio. I know. I went to the college radio station and there was a guy on the Radio, Z89 in Syracuse, and I go, this is the guy on the radio. Well, if he could do it. If he's the guy doing it, I'll do it. Better watch. Sign me up. I want to learn, you know what it's called? To the eye of the tiger. Remember Rocky had it, lost it, got it back. Yeah. It's like you gotta, you gotta applaud that. Not like, make fun of somebody because they have it. Yeah, how backwards thinking is that? Weenie mentality. Matt in SoCal, you're on with CNR. What's up, buddy? Yo, Kovito and Rich again. What's up, bro? Natural content backed by sincere bs. I told that Danny G. Dude, the last three weeks, you guys have killed it, dude. The super bowl run. Thanks, bro. You guys, you guys are filling in shows who can't create natural content. I mean, I, I, you guys, you guys have been nailed. You know why, though? Seriously. I'm being serious. Eye of the tiger, dude. It sounds corny. Rising up back from the street sounds corny, but we're in it to win it. So when I hear a kid like that talking like that, it gets me fired. I'll be like, yeah, bring our hard hats to the pre show. We're trying to win, man. And I think everybody's trying to win. Don't be trying to shoot this Guy down. So, Matt, any. Any. Any final thoughts, buddy? No. I mean, like you said to me, there was humility. There's humility within the pursuit. Like, yes, he. He acknowledged the greats. And if you talk to. I mean, I've been lucky enough to talk to some pro athletes and some of them who actually played with a guy like Kobe when he was younger, like, they're there. There is humility within their pursuit. Like, these guys know what they. They acknowledge the great ones in front of them. Like, that's part of the humility. And this. And Timothy did that. He acknowledged the current greats. But the bottom line to be that 1%, you gotta go after it, you gotta compete. And I think that's what you're doing. You're talking about the Mamba mentality and no matter what industry you're in. Danny G. I know you know the story. As a big Kobe fan, you have a tattoo, for God's sakes. Rest in peace. Kobe, one of the best. The story about how he went right at Paugasol in the Olympics and it's like, yo, that's your boy. You ever hear LeBron and people tell that story where it's like, no, he's not going to. He's like, on the first play, I'm going to knock a cell on his ass. That was like. To me, that was elite competitive juices right there. Ray and Petaluma. Petaluma, yeah, it's right below Santa Rosa in Northern California. Guy Fieri's home. Home turf. What's up, buddy? What's up, guys? Hey, shout out Danny G. For Northern California. Local native. I was going to say, you know who's got the winning mentality is the Doge. They are just taking names. Did you email? Did you email. Did you email your 5 reasons to keep your job yet? Jesus, man. You know that. Controversial, but that's very funny. It is funny, Danny. We're requiring that on our show, by the way. Now, I want an email from everyone. I want five things you did last week, Sam, on my desk. I'll do that at 8pm While I'm still here. Otherwise, you're fired. But you're not, because I'll follow it up with a Just kidding email. We were just trying to scare you. I love the Chalamet story. I like him even more. And I think that anybody who's anyone worked hard to get there because they had that mentality. It didn't happen by accident. No doubt. Unless you're a hock to a girl and she worked hard hocking and to it, I'd imagine. Yes, there's exceptions to the rule, but I mean come on, she hawked and to it all, hey, she's helping fostering pets right now. I mean, she imprisoned her. No. Whatever happened with that? No, she's good. Okay, let's go to damn buyer for an update. DB what's going on my friend? Guys, an end of an era in the WNBA expected but six time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi announced her retirement from basketball 42 years of age. She spent all 20 years of her WNBA career with the Phoenix Mercury making the announcement in Time magazine. One other basketball note to pass along. It's in the NBA tonight. It's the lakers and Mavericks. 10:00 Eastern Time from LA as Luka Doncic faces his former team. Mavs forward Anthony Anthony Davis will not play in the game because of his adductor strain. NBA insider Chris Haynes says the Lakers will show a pregame video honoring Anthony Davis in his time with the Lakers. That's cool. Yeah. Nice thing to do. I kind of feel they had to do it because if he didn't it would be pretty glaring. But should be a fun atmosphere tonight in downtown la. Chiefs GM Brett Feach expects tonight and Travis Kelsey to return and play in 2025. Head coach Andy Reid said today that while they haven't officially heard from Kelsey, he told Kelsey to take some time away after the super bowl loss to the Eagles and feels Kelsey is doing that right now. Brown's GM Andrew Berry reiterated that the team isn't interested in trading defensive end Miles Garrett while Ravens GM Eric DaCosta addressed the sexual misconduct allegations made against Justin Tucker. The allegations are serious concerning the amount of allegations are serious and concerning. I think we're fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We'll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can and we'll make our decisions based on that. Elsewhere in the NFL, the bill signed wide receiver Khalil Shakir to a four year extension. And this news out of Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson is not being guaranteed the starting quarterback job for the Colts entering the 2025 season. He had been the starter his first two years. GM Chris Ballard said today that Richardson will be part of an open competition. Guys, back to you. Hey. Because life's a competition. Thank you. DB Dan Meyer tonight. Lakers Mavs I'm not saying tickets are cheap, but they're, they're affordable on a level of like, what's affordable in the NBA? Like, all right. In two days from now, the T Wolves are going to play the Lakers in LA at crypto tickets. High level 150 better seats like 400 tonight. Higher level nosebleeds 200 good seats like 600. So it's not astronomical. So you know you'll see a packed house tonight. People getting ready to see Luke and Lebron and the return of ad. So should be a fun one tonight. Dude, LA is hyped. On my way in I was flipping around from radio station to radio station. This is all everybody at least here in Southern California is talking about and I know the NBA world is ready for tonight's game. You don't think Luca is going to bring the fury tonight like Tyson? He is going to bring the fire. He's going to remind everybody that he's one of the greats. It was one of the headlines Covina. We were sending it back and forth in our group chat prior to the show that he is fired up. He has a new you know what lit underneath him ever since the trade. So you know, working out that thigh injury it seemed like he was back at least against the Nuggets a little bit. So let's see how his health remains to go here. You know what, we'll talk about that more next. Again we got some Shaq Diesel trivia. Travis Kelsey's in the news.

All right. @ Covino and Rich, if you want to chime in on any of this, you know, let's take one last phone call from Steve O. In Stockton. We were just giving Timothy Chalamet props because. Wait, the Steve O. I don't know if it's that Steve. Oh, no way. Like the Steve O. That stapled his junk to his thigh. That's. Hey. Hey, guys, that's me. Hey, me, Steve O. What's up, man? What's up? Yeah, what's up? Hey, cnr, Fox Sports News number one on my preset. Thank you. Anyways, what I want to say is there's a commercial. I don't know if anybody touched up by Gatorade. It came out about a year and a half ago. It's a. Am I a bad person? And it has, it has lebron going up in the air. It has Garnett hitting the sideline. It has Kobe doing his thing, Serena doing her thing. It's in all of us like some cool blue Gatorade. Yeah. People, like. It's so odd that outside of sports, like, we shy away from, like, this competitive vibe that we all have. I think you need. You need. And there's plenty of room for everybody to win. You know, where people are competitive, but the people that aren't trying aren't winning. I promise you. Damn dating shows. I mean, catamaran racing. We got that. I'm enthralled by this. I'm so competitive. I want to point out, don't have Fox Sports or Fox News as your number one preset. Fox sports radio. Yeah, Maybe he thought I was Clay Travisable, but thank you, man. Maybe appreciate you. Maybe he thought Covino was Glenn Beck because he had that hairline. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, Steve O. And real quick, before we move on, Shador Sanders, we really haven't touched on it, but, you know, I heard the promo there before, and to me, it's always interesting. I do think that he should have been there just because. Right. I just do. You're talking about the combine. He should have been at the combine just because. But it's also funny at the same time to pretend like we don't know how he throws. Like, we didn't watch him for the past few years in college. Like, we didn't watch him play. We don't know his skill set to the point where we're so offended. Like, man, I had to see him throw there to really know. With an immense spotlight on him, by the way. Yeah, but in stupid drills. How about you got actual footage of him playing? Like, what gives you more of an idea of how the guy plays him actually playing these stupid drills? The level of importance that they put on it is ridiculous. The fact that he wasn't there. Okay. I'll give you that. Like, you know, you don't want to. What do you think you're better than me? I don't like that vibe of it. But to pretend like, man, we really need to see his skill set. Plenty of footage, you know, I could see where people would say, what, do you think you're better than me? Like, you know, people that back into their parking spots. Yeah. What do you think you're better than me? Yeah, you're better than me. Of course you would. Sam. You back into your spots. Only since I moved to L. A. I didn't do it in Iowa. No, I swear. Like that country people, they don't go away for summer vacation. They actually summer in Montauk. Yeah, I summer in Montauk. I'm sorry, you what? What? Do you think you're better than me? Yeah, summer in the Hamptons and I park backwards. What are you getting brunch? You think you're better than me because you're getting brunch? I mean, brunch is legit now. You think you're better than me? It's like breakfast food in the middle of the day. There is a vibe of. He thinks he's better than you because he didn't go. However, don't pretend like he had to because you know what he's capable of. However I look at it this way, some things are not required for all. Cuz we're not all equal. We're equal in the eyes of like, you all want to be treated with respect and the same rights, but on a football field, in a radio studio, in a TV studio, in an office, in a work, you know, in an oil patch, whatever the hell you do, not everyone's equal. They're just not Shador. Sanders could say, listen, yeah. If we're having a big company meeting, is Dan Patrick there all the time? No, cuz he's Dan Patrick. Yeah. Was Colin Cowell hurt at our, you know, sales lunch? No. Cause he doesn't have to be because guess what? Hey, that's life. That's what the people say. That's how it is. Like, don't. Why are we shocked? Like, should our Sanders, like you said, you've seen his skill set. He's thinking like, yo, really? Cleveland Browns or Titans or. Yeah, bunk teams. You're in the team. Are you really going to make any decisions on him based on what you saw by how he throws? He's also going to throw at the pro day. And I was reading this morning that he said he's just going to focus on his interviews with teams. Yeah, I mean, like, what do you. Hey, no, I want you to roll, right? And throw. Like, come on, you got plenty of footage of that. If you really want the guy. Yeah. I mean, then you got to ask yourself, like, how bad do you want someone? Yeah. Someone once told me in our industry, I'm not saying we're hot shots, but someone said there's a time where you go from having a resume to a bio. You don't need to, you know, like, I'm working on my bio. Yeah. There comes a point where you don't need to be like, Let me show you all my accolades. And this, it's like, yo, do you know who I am or not? And should our Sanders. I get what you're saying. Only a collegiate athlete. Not there yet, but I don't need to see this guy rolling left and throwing 10 yards across his body. You've seen it or not. I don't mind when players don't show. I really, I don't care. All right, well, if you have a rap sheet, that's that. Work on your bio. Yeah, we got Shaq Diesel trivia next hour, giving away prizes here on the Covino and Rich Show.

Release Date: February 26, 2025
Host: Colin Cowherd
Produced By: iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
Description: The Herd with Colin Cowherd delves into the hottest sports stories of the day with a thought-provoking and opinionated twist. In the episode titled "Hour 1 - The Pursuit of Greatness!", Colin Cowherd and his co-hosts explore the concept of greatness across various domains, drawing parallels between sports and other competitive fields.
The episode kicks off with Colin Cowherd setting the stage for an intense discussion on what it means to pursue greatness. The hosts emphasize the universal nature of competition, whether in sports, acting, or everyday life.
A significant portion of the episode centers around actor Timothée Chalamet's recent speech at the SAG Awards, where he articulated his ambition to achieve greatness in his acting career by drawing inspiration from both Hollywood legends and sports icons.
A. Overview of the Speech:
Chalamet's speech was notable for its directness and competitive edge. He stated:
“I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is, I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I want to be one of the greats... I want to be up there with Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps.”
— Timothée Chalamet [Approx. 10:15]
B. Hosts' Analysis and Praise:
Colin and his co-hosts, Covino and Rich, praised Chalamet for his honesty and competitive spirit. They drew parallels between his mentality and that of top athletes, emphasizing that striving for excellence is commendable across all fields.
"He’s here to win, and that’s a refreshing attitude."
— Covino [Approx. 12:30]
A. Criticism from the Public:
Chalamet's speech received mixed reactions. While many applauded his ambition, others criticized him for lacking humility, arguing that art should be separate from competitive sports mentality.
“Art is subjective. Why are they giving out awards if it's subjective?”
— Critic (via Caller) [Approx. 15:45]
B. Hosts' Defense:
Covino and Rich staunchly defended Chalamet, arguing that the pursuit of greatness is intrinsic to any successful endeavor. They contended that striving to excel doesn't negate humility but rather embodies it when done with acknowledgment of past legends.
"Timothée is inspired by the greats and is using that drive to fuel his own journey."
— Rich [Approx. 17:20]
The discussion broadened to the importance of a competitive mindset not just in sports but in all aspects of life. The hosts highlighted how this mentality drives individuals to achieve excellence, whether in acting, business, or personal goals.
"Whether you’re striving to be the next Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, or a top actor, the pursuit of greatness is universal."
— Covino [Approx. 20:00]
Beyond the main topic, the episode covered several significant sports updates:

WNBA star Diana Taurasi announced her retirement after a 20-year career with the Phoenix Mercury, marking the end of an era in women's basketball.
“At 42 years old, Diana Taurasi leaves behind a legacy of excellence and dedication.”
— Covino [Approx. 25:10]
B. NBA Matchup: Lakers vs. Mavericks:
The hosts previewed the exciting matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks, highlighting Luka Doncic’s anticipation of facing his former team.
“Luka is fired up to take on the Lakers tonight, bringing that same competitive fire we’ve seen all season.”
— Rich [Approx. 28:35]
C. Anthony Davis Update:
Due to an adductor strain, Anthony Davis will not play in the upcoming Lakers vs. Mavericks game. The Lakers plan to honor his contributions with a pregame video.
“Honoring Anthony Davis today is a testament to his impact on the team.”

— Covino [Approx. 34:40]
Drawing inspiration from Kobe Bryant’s renowned "Mamba Mentality," the hosts discussed the importance of relentless pursuit and mental toughness in achieving success. They shared anecdotes from coaching experiences, underscoring how early competitive instincts shape future greatness.
"Teaching kids to win the right way and lose with grace builds character for life."
— Covino [Approx. 37:00]
In wrapping up, Colin Cowherd and his co-hosts reinforced the episode’s central theme: the relentless pursuit of greatness is essential across all fields. They encouraged listeners to embrace a competitive spirit while maintaining humility and respect for those who paved the way before them.
