Maura Ahrensmiele (4:36)

Let me hit you up. It's Black History Month.

Rich Davis (4:38)

Yeah.

Maura Ahrensmiele (4:38)

Who's your favorite black athlete when you were a kid?

Rich Davis (4:41)

Dave Winfield, Danny J. Super stud.

Danny G (4:46)

Bo Jackson.

Maura Ahrensmiele (4:48)

I was Sam. Probably Former Iowa linebacker Abdul Hodge. Damn buyer.

Mark Seale (4:53)

Jim Jackson, Ohio State and NBA star, I think.

Rich Davis (4:58)

You know what though? There was only a few. Rich, before we get your answer, the big reveal here, only a few like that were universally appreciated. Like regardless of where you grew up, you could still rock that poster. And it would be for me three names. Mike Tyson, Ken Griffey Jr. Ah man, maybe Bo Jackson too.

Danny G (5:21)

Yeah, that famous Bo poster.

Maura Ahrensmiele (5:23)

He knows I was going to say.

Rich Davis (5:24)

And Michael Jordan. Maybe there was four.

Maura Ahrensmiele (5:27)

Magic Johnson.

Rich Davis (5:28)

Because no matter where you were, you still loved those guys. You had their poster, you wore their T shirts.

Maura Ahrensmiele (5:35)

Here I am asking you guys and I can't decide between my two favorite black athletes in the 80s.

Rich Davis (5:40)

We'll decide for you.

Maura Ahrensmiele (5:42)

Because as a kid from New York and a Mets fan, every kid imitated the Daryl Strawberry batting stance. But I wore number 16 and tried to do the high leg kick like I was Dwight Gooden. So I don't know.

Rich Davis (5:55)

Daryl bro.

Maura Ahrensmiele (5:55)

Darrell.

Rich Davis (5:56)

Yeah, for real. Greatest swing in baseball history. Almost, maybe arguably. Yeah. And Dwight Gooden is there, a legend. But again, he was just. Oh, he was so great. He's so full of potential. I love Dwight Gooden too.

Maura Ahrensmiele (6:12)

But is there anyone in that conversation with Griffey Jr. And Darrell, is there a third where you like sweetest swing ever? Because I think of those two immediately. Ken Griffey Jr. And Daryl.

Danny G (6:22)

We always used to do the Carney Lanceford because of the way he would shake his back.

Maura Ahrensmiele (6:26)

Yeah, but that was awkward. It was cool though.

Rich Davis (6:27)

Yeah, he used to practice with the Shake Weight, that guy. That's the Shake Weight batting stance of Carney Lance. Is there a third as far as sweet, like beautiful sweet swing. Like beautiful swing.

Maura Ahrensmiele (6:38)

And it doesn't need to be a black guy. I'm just asking in general.

Rich Davis (6:40)

Oh, man.

Danny G (6:42)

Mark McGwire had a sweet swing.

Maura Ahrensmiele (6:43)

He was a little. It was compact. I'm saying when Darrell, he had a.

Rich Davis (6:47)

Nice one handed follow.

Maura Ahrensmiele (6:48)

Yeah, yeah, Darrell, I'm saying he had that, the leg kick and when he just extended those arms.

Danny G (6:55)

Eric Davis had a cool batting stance.

Rich Davis (6:57)

And on Black History Month I brought him up on our Patreon show today, our podcast. I was like, he was one of my favorite athletes growing up.

Maura Ahrensmiele (7:03)

Eric Davis had one of the best scuffles of all time. Him and Ray KN at third base. Do you remember he bumped into Ray Knight on the Mets during like a double steal. And then Ray Knight started fighting like he was the fighting Irishman every he put up your nose.

Rich Davis (7:18)

I think Eric Davis has like a very odd stat. Like he could have been one of the greats of all time. Right. Injuries got the best of him, but he still put up great numbers. I love that dude. Well, and he was great in RBI baseball way back on Wednesday. But he has like some weird stat where if you combine two seasons together, he has the greatest like hundred game span of anybody in baseball history or something ridiculous like that because his numbers were so good from one season to the next.

Maura Ahrensmiele (7:45)

Well, if we're going to shout out some of the coolest black dudes in sports in the 80s and 90s.

Rich Davis (7:51)

Well, I said, I did say Dave Winfield Rich, because I think it's understated and underrated that he was drafted in three major sports, won a World Series later in his career, had a long, stellar career. And he was always a very classy gentleman, like superstar in the MLB spot.

Maura Ahrensmiele (8:08)

Can you post on our Instagram story the actual Dave Winfield classy poster?

Rich Davis (8:13)

It's the best.

Maura Ahrensmiele (8:13)

It was a poster of him in a suit, if I remember correctly. And it said classy class.

Rich Davis (8:18)

It was like him and James Lennon Jr. Classy.

Maura Ahrensmiele (8:22)

I was gonna say, if we're, if we're gonna give shout outs on Black History Month, let me give you one more. Because he might have been the most intimidating guy on the pitcher's mounds. Danny G. Up in the Bay area in the 80s and 90s. Dave Stewart, yeah.

Danny G (8:34)

With a hat brim down low.

Rich Davis (8:36)

But he talked like this. He talked like.

Danny G (8:38)

Yeah, the joke.

Rich Davis (8:39)

Michael Jackson.

Danny G (8:40)

The joke was always he and Ricky Henderson should have, you know, reversed voices.

Rich Davis (8:44)

I think I say Bob Gibson at first because intimidation factory. But that's old school.

Maura Ahrensmiele (8:48)

But you know what? Speaking of which, shout out to our buddy, Rob Parker, mlb bro. I know. Always trying to encourage young black kids to play baseball. The numbers, unfortunately, as we saw over the years, they go down and down because the. The path in the NBA and the NFL may seem more appealing.

Rich Davis (9:03)

The Kyler Murray theory. We saw it recently, but we grew up with a lot of legends from Rock Reigns to Willie Randolph, bro. As a New York kid, loved him. So happy Black History Month. And yeah, again, mlbbro.com Rob Parker doing his thing.

Maura Ahrensmiele (9:22)

Baseball. Did that even confuse you guys on the West Coast? Danny G. And I was Sam and Beyer. When Rick, when Tim Reigns, his baseball card said Rock Reigns. Anyone else like different guys is an error card.

Mark Seale (9:39)

Was it like 1990 or 91? Yes.

Rich Davis (9:42)

Rich thought he had a twin.

Maura Ahrensmiele (9:43)

I was like, is it like Ozzy Canseco? Is he my brother? Rob Reigns?

Danny G (9:47)

You're like an error.

Mark Seale (9:48)

Could this be an error card doing here?

Maura Ahrensmiele (9:50)

Rock Reigns. So shout out again. Black History Month.

Rich Davis (9:53)

Not only is it Black History Month, Rich, today is a very special day.

Maura Ahrensmiele (9:58)

You said it.

Rich Davis (9:59)

It's an anniversary of what some consider. I definitely consider the greatest sports quote of all time. And there's a lot of them today. Today I consider myself the luckiest man. Man on the face of the earth. Earth.

Maura Ahrensmiele (10:14)

Not only the quote Camino. I think one of the best celebrations. It's up there with Jesse Orozco thrown his glove in the air. It's up there.

Rich Davis (10:21)

It's up there with Joe Carter with the. It's up there With Kirk Gibson.

Maura Ahrensmiele (10:24)

It's up there with John Madden being carried off the field. It's up there with Joe Namas.

Rich Davis (10:28)

So not only. Yeah, not only. Great quote.

Mark Seale (10:30)

Dwight Clark's the Catch.

Maura Ahrensmiele (10:32)

Yes, The Catch.

Rich Davis (10:33)

And that anniversary is when Pete weber won in 2012, 13 years ago today. Who do you think you are?

Bobby Bones (10:47)

I am.

Rich Davis (10:48)

That's right. I did it.

Danny G (10:51)

We just happened to play this on the show yesterday.

Rich Davis (10:53)

You know why? Because we love this always. Not just on the anniversary.

Maura Ahrensmiele (10:57)

Yeah.

Danny G (10:57)

You said Muhammad Ali and I said, yeah. And that bowling guy.

Rich Davis (11:00)

It's one of the great. It's right up there with I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. It's right up there with some of the greatest sports quotes of all time. I'm not being facetious, I really mean that. I know it sounds silly because it's Pete Weber and look. But he comes from a lineage of great bowlers. His dad was a legend. Dick Weber, we saw him growing up. Pete Weber, his son was a stellar hall of Fame bowler and he had an amazing moment. And I swear to you, Rich, it might be a false memory, but I feel like I watched that live when it happened.

Maura Ahrensmiele (11:32)

I really do. Kavino and I unlocked a memory earlier today. We always talk about Saturday mornings as a kid where cartoons and then Saved by the Bell wrestling, American Gladiators. We all watched the same stuff growing up. And for some reason, if you were stuck at grandma's house, I remember watching bowling on tv. Bowling was on every weekend.

Rich Davis (11:52)

It was man the Legends, Parker, Bone the Third, Norm Duke.

Maura Ahrensmiele (11:57)

You know my theory, Covino? If you're a grown man or woman, I'll give women a little more leeway because I'm a nice fella. But if you're a grown man and we're going bowling, if you don't break a hundred, you should have to walk home.

Rich Davis (12:11)

That is a rule here on Fox Sports Radio. In fact, if you're a grown man listening and you can't bring 100, I'm not sure I want you listening.

Maura Ahrensmiele (12:19)

I'll do without you. I mean that.

Rich Davis (12:22)

I don't know if I. All right, all right. To be fair, you could listen. But I don't know if I want to be your friend.

Maura Ahrensmiele (12:26)

100 means you just need really 1 to 2 marks, which is a 4.

Rich Davis (12:31)

Year old son could bowl 100.

Maura Ahrensmiele (12:32)

Okay. A lot of people go a long time between bowling. Do you get like a game or two to warm up? No, I was Sam. I went bowling for the first time in like a decade and I bowled to 160. Something like you have the ability to just.

Rich Davis (12:44)

Sam, I believe in you.

Maura Ahrensmiele (12:46)

I think I went bowling with Ryan Berschinger, who's in the back on his birthday over the summer. And I think my first game was like, an 80, and then I just excelled from there. It was like exponential. Oh, okay.

Rich Davis (12:55)

You redeemed yourself because, like, I hadn't bowled in a long time since I.

Maura Ahrensmiele (12:58)

Think moving from Iowa to out here, almost like eight, 90 years.

Rich Davis (13:01)

Sometimes you're just hobnob and eating French fries, not really caring, but as long as you zoned in.

Maura Ahrensmiele (13:05)

Oh, I love bowling. I take it very seriously, and I would. Don't they just stand up? 10. Corn, right? It's corn, right? Yeah, we're. We're. We're actually throwing a bowling ball, and there's a bunch of pigs at the other end, but they all fall over. A little kid sets up the pins for you.

Rich Davis (13:18)

Yeah, exactly. Sure, sure. So today really is the anniversary of Pete Weber and his quote. But what's even funnier about it, I did it. It's one of our favorites. We have referenced it a lot here on this show. I just think it's so funny because he didn't mean to say it. That's a sports version of that's One Small step. What is it? Spot. Now I'm forgetting. One giant.

Maura Ahrensmiele (13:41)

Let it work it out.

Rich Davis (13:42)

One small step for man. One giant leap.

Maura Ahrensmiele (13:45)

We take steps, one hand, one bird.

Nathan King (13:48)

That's one small step for man.

Rich Davis (13:52)

One giant leap for mankind. That's not what he meant to say, and that's not what Pete Weber meant to say either. He meant to say something like, one small step for a man. Well, you know what? Giant leap for all of mankind. All of mankind.

Maura Ahrensmiele (14:05)

But it's iconic the way he said it.

Rich Davis (14:07)

Exactly. And that's exactly what happened in the Pete Weber story. That's not what he meant to say.

Maura Ahrensmiele (14:12)

Hey, to tie it all together, did you guys ever watch that Steve Carell show Space Force on Netflix? Heard about it. The girl was the first woman on the moon, and she was African American, and she had this whole speech ready to go, and she. In a moment of pressure, she freaked out, and she goes, it's great to be black on the moon.

Rich Davis (14:32)

And you know what? She was right.

Maura Ahrensmiele (14:34)

So that's a dumb show that did not get renewed, I don't think.

Rich Davis (14:37)

Official. Did you say the official quote?

Maura Ahrensmiele (14:39)

What is the official.

Rich Davis (14:39)

The official quote that he wanted to say was, who do you think you are rooting against? Me? I am the man in this tournament. Yeah.

Maura Ahrensmiele (14:47)

Take a listen to Pete Weber. He was on barstool giving the explanation.

Bobby Bones (14:51)

Well actually it just was kind of a missay because I was sitting there and I was thinking what I was going to say to the kid that was giving me trouble during the match. And it was like I wanted to say who do you think you are with me in my house?

Rich Davis (15:07)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (15:07)

You know and it just came out. Who do you think you are? I am.

Mark Seale (15:11)

And that's the best part of the.

Maura Ahrensmiele (15:12)

Story that I think a lot of.

Mark Seale (15:13)

People don't know that was directed to.

Maura Ahrensmiele (15:15)

A 12 year old kid.

Bobby Bones (15:17)

Oh yeah, 12, 13, 14.

Maura Ahrensmiele (15:19)

I'm not real sure that makes it even better. Like so what was the kid was like heckling you during the game?

Bobby Bones (15:26)

Well, he rooted out loud a couple times against me. Second frame when I left the ten pin. He just loud enough. Yes. You know that when I left the tent bin and you know, I don't care if you root but don't root loud enough for me to hear.

Maura Ahrensmiele (15:42)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (15:42)

You know, cuz that's just takes away from everything but it pisses me off. So you know, when I get mad I, I let people know about it and I've never held back.

Rich Davis (15:52)

You jagas.

Maura Ahrensmiele (15:54)

You know what Rich, who do you think you are?

Bobby Bones (15:56)

I am.

Rich Davis (15:56)

After hearing the explanation I'm going to put his fire and level of competition right up there with Michael Jordan. Yeah. You know like I feel like he's right up there as far as passion levels go.

Maura Ahrensmiele (16:08)

Oh, and he took that personally.

Rich Davis (16:09)

Yeah, I mean clearly he took that personally. No one loves spite more than me and the fact that it was against a child makes it even a child. A child that makes so much fun. He was that fired up because he was getting in his head some little.

Maura Ahrensmiele (16:20)

Kid stuck his tongue.

Rich Davis (16:21)

There's so much great about this. That's hilarious.

Mark Seale (16:23)

I also loved you could cheer but not loud enough so we can hear you. What's the point then?

Maura Ahrensmiele (16:28)

By the way, props to you know, Big Cat at barstool for finally get to the bottom of that because I'm surprised no one asked him. We would have bumped into him. That would have been the first thing I asked.

Rich Davis (16:37)

I'm not trying to take any away from Big Cat but I've heard that explanation before. It's a legendary story. Pete Weber legend on this day and we still quote it. I mean honestly, is there another one that's up there? Like you know, it's a really popular quote that we throw out there a lot that doesn't get a lot of credit. But it still lives in meme form. When Bart Scott said, can't wait.

Danny G (16:59)

Yeah, that's a.

Rich Davis (17:00)

That's a pretty popular one on social media.

Maura Ahrensmiele (17:02)

It was how. It was how when he said it. Yeah, it's really just two words in.

Rich Davis (17:07)

His head was steaming.

Danny G (17:08)

There's also a great story about the 2008 NBA Finals because Kevin Garnett famously screaming, anything is possible. Supposedly with Adidas, it was supposed to be impossible is nothing. And just in the moment, he let that rip.

Bobby Bones (17:23)

Yeah.

Danny G (17:24)

So that was a wrong quote.

Rich Davis (17:25)

Wrong quote. But it all worked out.

Maura Ahrensmiele (17:28)

Remember when Kirk Cousins was all fired up?

Rich Davis (17:32)

You like that?

Maura Ahrensmiele (17:34)

You like that. There's always going to be these quotes that in the moment.

Rich Davis (17:38)

But some are great. I really think that one's a great one because you loses it. As the kiddies say. My daughter has an expression. This little kid was in his walls. Like he was in his head. He was so. He was so mad that he flipped. That's right. I did it like that. Passion level is absurd. It's absurd.

Mark Seale (17:58)

It's also the exact opposite of Travolta because Travolta's was building up to it. And these are spur of the moment. Like, you have to hit the spot where Travolta's Adele. Dazeem just kept on being dragged out because he knew what the end was going to be, but he knew that he didn't have it. These are sp. Spontaneous.

Maura Ahrensmiele (18:19)

You mean the Wickedly Talented.

Mark Seale (18:20)

Wickedly talented.

Maura Ahrensmiele (18:21)

As he's saying. As he's saying Wickedly talented. You could tell that he's like, the gears are turning. I don't know what this guy. Adina Menzel, but let's give it up for the Wickedly Talented.

Rich Davis (18:36)

That's the weakest.

Bobby Bones (18:36)

Misquote.

Maura Ahrensmiele (18:38)

Well, there's Adele, who's still, you know, coming in the music scene, right.

Rich Davis (18:41)

Dan Byer. That's up there in a Covino in Rich. Top 10 favorite quote of all time as well. When you grew up in the 80s especially, John Travolta was the epitome of cool.

Mark Seale (18:52)

Right.

Rich Davis (18:52)

If you watched Grease or any of his movies, that dude was cool as hell. To see him quiver with that lack of confidence in that moment because he forgot this woman's name to me is.

Maura Ahrensmiele (19:04)

Hilarious.

Rich Davis (19:07)

By the way, if you don't know. He. He wanted to introduce the Wickedly talented from the play Wicked Idina Menzel, but he. I don't know if the prompter went out or what. Idina Menzel. Did he not rehearse? Did he not look at it once.

Maura Ahrensmiele (19:21)

Before he stepped, it was so, like. It was so such, like, graceful sounding, too. A graceful quiver in his voice. Yeah, Spot, we've talked about that so much. Isn't there a second Travolta flub? I feel like.

Rich Davis (19:35)

Yes. Yeah. He said no, no, he just said when he introduced Les Miserable. Les Miserables, like, over did it. He's like, Les Miserables.

Maura Ahrensmiele (19:45)

Like Fred Armisen is some kind of.

Danny G (19:48)

There's another sports drop. We play Roger Goodell. It's not like this organ duck was a Heisman trophy winner or anything.

Maura Ahrensmiele (19:55)

Marcus. Mario. Mario.

Rich Davis (19:59)

So weak. How about when?

Mark Seale (20:00)

And you know what he did? He combined Mr. Roboto with Mariota. That's exactly what he did.

Rich Davis (20:06)

Didn't Ted Kennedy. Ted Kennedy call Sammy Sosa, Sammy Suesser, and like Mike McGuire, our home run champs. Both wrong, if I'm not mistaken.

Maura Ahrensmiele (20:17)

Mike McGuire and Sammy Suer.

Rich Davis (20:20)

Sammy Sosa, by the way, who's back in the Chicago dugout. So spring training, alive and well. But long live Pete Weber and his legendary quote. I mean, that's a T shirt that I gotta get. Who do you think you are? I am. And I feel that way so many times throughout a day. Yeah, no, I'm gonna buy that shirt.

Maura Ahrensmiele (20:39)

You don't want to buy that shirt, don't you?

Rich Davis (20:41)

No. Where do I go?

Maura Ahrensmiele (20:41)

Well, I don't want to make a free plug for the guy, but that Super 70 sports guy, he's got a shirt of that.

Rich Davis (20:46)

Oh, I gotta get it. I gotta get it.

Maura Ahrensmiele (20:47)

It's like the two thumbs pointing at him.

Rich Davis (20:49)

It's the Ann. We celebrate it here on the Covino and Rich show.

Maura Ahrensmiele (20:54)

Well, hey, I don't know where we could go from there because that's the hot story of the day.

Mark Seale (20:59)

There's so much I did, guys. If you'll just allow me. 22 seconds. I have the whole Travolta leading up to it. Sam, unless you have it. I've got it. I've got it here. This is the 22 seconds leading up to it. Buckle up.

Maura Ahrensmiele (21:15)

There will always be a special place in my heart for the movie musical and for the songs that create their most memorable moments. Here to perform the Oscar nominated, gorgeously empowering song, let it go. From the Oscar winning animated movie Frozen.

Bobby Bones (21:31)

Please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only Adele Dazzin.

Maura Ahrensmiele (21:38)

But the confidence in wickedly talented. It's like he's ready to say the name perfectly.

Mark Seale (21:43)

Only.

Rich Davis (21:46)

He'S not even close.

Maura Ahrensmiele (21:48)

I love it.

Rich Davis (21:49)

That's kind of how you feel when you forget people's names, though. In real life, though, right? Like, hey, great to meet you.

Maura Ahrensmiele (21:55)

I feel like that's what it's like.

Mark Seale (21:57)

Walking on a high beam. Like he knows he's losing his balance and everything is in rhythm.

Rich Davis (22:01)

Sounds confident.

Mark Seale (22:02)

And then he just completely falls off.

Rich Davis (22:05)

You know, that is. That's the greatest misquote of all time, Pete Weber. And the weakest misquote of all time, the forgetful John Travolta. There you go.

Maura Ahrensmiele (22:17)

Listen, we got a lot coming up. Matthew Stafford, there's talk where could he land? Does he stay with the Rams? I know Sean McVeigh wants that, but what does he want? What is the league going to dictate? In fact, I have the one and only answer as to where Matthew Stafford should end up. We're going to get to that next. Plus, the report cards have come out in the NFL. What teams treat the personnel and the families best? Who has the weakest facilities?

Maura Ahrensmiele (22:59)

All right. Now, we are not TV weatherman, but we know a thing or two about driving in winter conditions. We just got back from the east coast driving up Jersey Turnpike in the snow, I was like, I don't miss this freeze. I don't miss this at all.

Love hanging out with you idiots. Camino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. Danny G. I was Sam Spotty Boy.

Rich Davis (28:22)

Who do you think you are?

Bobby Bones (28:24)

I am.

Maura Ahrensmiele (28:26)

Yeah. Dmx pdw. Pete Weber.

Rich Davis (28:33)

Pete Weber, bro. Cavino and Rich, live from the tirerack.com studio. That is us. Steve Cavino. That's my name. Dickie Doodle Boy Davis. That's his name. Rich Davis. Danny G. Danny Gradio is his name. Or at least that's what people think because on social media, it's Danny G Radio. So there's people that work here that think his name is Danny Gradio, but that's close enough. Danny G, because he's gangsta. Iowa Samuel is on the ones and twos. Dan Byers. Got your update in about 10 minutes. And spotty boy, spot getting ready for midweek major. We do it every Wednesday. The biggest stories and headlines in sports and pop culture. But right now, Matt Stafford in the news. That's number one in the headlines.

Maura Ahrensmiele (29:22)

Right now, Matthew Stafford. Let's talk about the quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams. I think this is. This is like, such a simple solution, and I hear so many people talking about where can he end up? There's Options and how much money is he going to take and where could he end up? Here's where I want to start. It's clear that Sean McVay is a fan. They want a Super bowl together. McVeigh said this about a month ago. Take a listen.

Rich Davis (29:50)

You don't want to have that go on again. That's not so. I don't think that's good for anybody.

Maura Ahrensmiele (29:55)

I think sooner than later, being able.

Rich Davis (29:57)

To get that clarity, understand, clear, open and honest communication, I think there's a.

Maura Ahrensmiele (30:02)

Lot of love coming from our part.

Rich Davis (30:04)

I think there's a lot of appreciation.

Mark Seale (30:06)

Coming from his part as well.

Maura Ahrensmiele (30:07)

And a lot sooner than later is an ideal scenario. Yeah. So Stafford and the Ram showing a mutual interest. McVeigh, they want a Super bowl together. There's a legacy there. That makes sense. The question there is how much money do the Rams want to give a 37 year old quarterback who's, you know, his skills are not going to be on the up and up.

Rich Davis (30:31)

You could say it past his prime.

Maura Ahrensmiele (30:33)

Past his prime.

Rich Davis (30:34)

It doesn't mean he's out of wins or he's out of gas, but he's past his prime. He's on the downside of a stellar career.

Maura Ahrensmiele (30:41)

Diana. On the upside, Diana Rossini, friend of the show. Love her. We saw her at the Super Bowl.

Rich Davis (30:46)

Yeah.

Maura Ahrensmiele (30:47)

She had Chase Daniels on her podcast and they were talking about the type of money maybe Stafford could get if he stays with the Rams.

Kyra K. Dixon (30:55)

Matthew goes out, sees that there's no market for him at the price he.

Maura Ahrensmiele (30:58)

Wants, and the Rams say, all right.

Kyra K. Dixon (31:01)

We'Ll bring it back for 40 million. Like, don't you think that's a fair 40?

Maura Ahrensmiele (31:05)

No. What? Diana, you're too much. Front office speak. 40 million is a travesty. A travesty. If he gets 40 mil, I would at this point, to be completely honest with you, from a player's perspective, I would retire. Get out of here.

Rich Davis (31:23)

I mean, I heard Jonas Knox right here on Fox Sports Radio talking about him. He's made 360 million.

Maura Ahrensmiele (31:29)

I wrote. Look at this right there. I wrote that down. 364.

Rich Davis (31:32)

That's not enough money. That's not a good enough little nest egg right now for him to sit on while he makes another 40 to play in the city he's already in.

Maura Ahrensmiele (31:41)

You mean a Powerball jackpot?

Rich Davis (31:43)

Seriously. But the story today is, and I don't like it because it seems that he's still Buddy Chummy with McVeigh. You know, we tie things back to relationships. It's like you and your girlfriend think you're good, but then you see her on social media and she's bowling with some other guy. You know, she's out, she's, she's at the club with someone else. You're like, wait a second, I thought we were good.

Maura Ahrensmiele (32:11)

Well, here's a developing story.

Rich Davis (32:13)

I thought we had an understanding.

Maura Ahrensmiele (32:14)

A developing story. According to Jordan Schultz, Raiders minority owner Tom Brady recently hosted Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford at his home in Montana. And they've been spending time together, skiing and just chilling. Brady has been actively trying to convince Stafford to join the Raiders. And here's why. I think that is perfect.

Rich Davis (32:41)

Hold on. You know the other backstory, though? Ian Rapaport of NFL Media reacted to the report by explaining that Brady and Stafford ran into each other at the ski resort in Montana. That it was an unplanned meeting, not some sort of extensive or in depth meeting that Brady was hosting, that he wasn't recruiting Stafford. And it's like, get out of here. That is B.S. that's some B.S. your girlfriend would tell you when you saw the social media post of her and the dude at the club.

Maura Ahrensmiele (33:13)

We just bumped into each other.

Rich Davis (33:15)

It is total coincidence.

Maura Ahrensmiele (33:17)

I didn't know he was therapist friend.

Rich Davis (33:18)

And I went with my friends.

Maura Ahrensmiele (33:20)

Well, look at it this way, Kuff. Who knows more about what an aging quarterback has left in the tank than a guy that won when he went to the bucks post 40TB12.

Rich Davis (33:34)

So here not everybody has the conditioning.

Maura Ahrensmiele (33:36)

Yeah.

Rich Davis (33:37)

Of an older TV 12. Can I give you the not everybody's Tom Brady?

Maura Ahrensmiele (33:41)

Can I give you the quick bullet points I wrote down? Why I think this makes perfect sense.

Rich Davis (33:45)

What do you mean perfect sense? For him to be a Raider.

Danny G (33:48)

Yes.

Rich Davis (33:48)

I think it would make more sense for him to keep his ass where he is right now.

Maura Ahrensmiele (33:51)

Matthew Stafford to the Raiders makes perfect sense. Dare I say almost Kurt Hennig perfect.

Rich Davis (34:00)

I would say maybe. If not where he is right now, if not with the Rams.

Maura Ahrensmiele (34:07)

Listen, the Raiders, I live in Woodland Hills, the rich people neighborhood down the block that have a way higher tax bracket that's called Hidden Hills. Matthew Stafford has an estate. He has a beautiful house. His wife has her podcast studio. His daughters are involved in the community. One of his kids goes to my daughter's dance studio. They live in Southern California. He's 37, living the dad life. They have a beautiful home. He's a Super bowl champion. He spent over a decade in Detroit. No offense. Detroit. I know we got a big station there and the guy's 37. He's going to be on quarterback season two on Netflix. He maybe got that taste of the Hollywood bug. How quickly do you and I get from Burbank Airport to Las Vegas, Nevada?

Rich Davis (34:59)

Oh, in like 12 minutes.

Maura Ahrensmiele (35:00)

It seems like it, right?

Rich Davis (35:01)

Yeah.

Maura Ahrensmiele (35:01)

There's no drink service up and down 35 minutes. You know that little Van Nuys airport right down the block, Little private jet. Vegas might as well be Orange County. Matthew Stafford could play for the Raiders one to two years, and it would almost be like playing here in Southern California. Tom Brady, fresh start. Looking for a face you'd. Maybe you draft Shador Sanders and he learns behind Stafford. This makes so much sense to me. Danny G. Because you were talking about maybe Sam Darnold. No, Matthew Stafford. You might be able to compete.

Rich Davis (35:41)

What's he going to get from the Raiders if he was going to get 40 million from the Rams?

Maura Ahrensmiele (35:45)

I'm saying, even if it's the same money, then why would. Why move at all? Because I understand the Rams, like Cooper Kupco, they're. But the Rams might be in more of a rebuilding, rebuilding phase at this point. And Matthew Stafford.

Rich Davis (36:00)

And you think the Raiders are like, going to win all of a sudden? Hold on, though. I completely agree. I just want to make it clear I agree with Rich. If the Rams are out of the question for whatever reason, like, he just doesn't like the direction they're going. He thinks his time's expired there. He had a fight behind the scenes with somebody. He's being mistreated, whatever. Okay, so I get it. Because it's such an easy trip from Vegas to la. Lifestyle reasons. His family's here. It's a quick flight. I get it. But why not just stay with the Rams?

Maura Ahrensmiele (36:28)

I haven't heard that's. That's an option.

Rich Davis (36:30)

I think that's the better option.

Maura Ahrensmiele (36:31)

I'm not saying that's not an option. I'm saying Matthew Stafford to the Raiders just makes so much logistical sense for a veteran of 37 years old. If he was 24 and he had another decade plus in the league, I'd say exploit your options.

Rich Davis (36:45)

But unless the. The power of Brady kicks in, where he's so enamored to be skiing with. With Tommy and they're sipping hot cocoa.

Maura Ahrensmiele (36:58)

At the, at the lodge.

Rich Davis (36:59)

Like to be in partnership with such a, such a winning sort of culture that Brady's trying to create. I mean, Tom Brady has a resume. Tom Brady, maybe that has so much pull on him that we don't even know.

Maura Ahrensmiele (37:13)

I'm insulting.

Rich Davis (37:14)

We often use the Word glamoured. You know where we got that from? Maybe he's so glamored by Tommy that it's more of a reality than we think. We got glamoured from True Blood. Remember the show True Blood where the vampires had such a power over mere humans?

Maura Ahrensmiele (37:31)

Like you'd look at them and you'd.

Rich Davis (37:32)

Be like, they would glamour them, they said. Glamoured them. So maybe Tom is really glamoring this dude. Otherwise the best option from the outside looking in is to stay in LA where his family is.

Maura Ahrensmiele (37:42)

Dude, outside looking in? Yeah, Rams clearly the easiest option. But I'm saying anything other than the Vegas Raiders retirement almost seems like the best option. But if you want to keep playing. Do you think he wants to go play for the Giants or move across the country? I'm telling you at this stage of the game because I'm living a similar life without the hundreds of millions of dollars. He's got little kids, he's at his forever home. He's in Hidden Hills, the nicest neighborhood in the valley.

Rich Davis (38:09)

And by the way, he came here because he wanted his family to live here.

Maura Ahrensmiele (38:12)

And guess what, his wife is happy, right? His kids are again in their school system and everything going on. This is not 37 years old. You're gonna pick up the fam bam doozle as you call it. You gotta pick up the family and move. Vegas is a half hour private flight away. It makes sense. Danny, you are the Raiders fan. Am I wrong?

Danny G (38:36)

No, I mean the wild card in this is how quickly if and if Pete Carroll can get the program turned around in Las Vegas. But in his past we've seen him do it at usc. Of course we've seen him do it in Seattle for DB, Seahawks. And, and in a 12 month calendar, this guy can turn an entire program around. We've seen him do it before. It still remains to be seen for lv. But if he can at least get the Raiders moving in the right track. And what would be, I think a selling point for Brady to Stafford is dude, you get to throw to the best tight end in football. All of a sudden you got Brock Bowers, you got an underrated receiver in Myers. We're going to add some more pieces in the draft also that would open up things maybe to draft Genti cash cow running back at number six and then top of the second round, maybe get a guy like Jackson Dart to sit and learn behind a staffer.

Rich Davis (39:28)

And I'm sure there's some allure of being wooed by Tom Brady. I believe that.

Maura Ahrensmiele (39:33)

But Kavino what about the idea Tom.

Rich Davis (39:34)

Brady and this would be one of his first big gets.

Maura Ahrensmiele (39:38)

But what about the idea also of this is some there's some big name free agent or wanting to be traded wide receivers in the National Football League. So if you're telling the football players of the NFL, oh, the Raiders, now they got Pete Carroll. Tom Brady's overseeing it. Wow. Matthew Stafford. We saw what Brock Bowers did last year. There's a lot lining up where the Raiders start to become a desirable place for a free agent to go or a receiver that wants to be traded on the move. Like a Debo Samuel who's like, I'm doing it seems like he's done with the Niners. There's places it's a tough division. That's the only rub that means you got to be better than Bo Nix and Peyton. Sean Payton. You got to be better than the defending AFC champions.

Rich Davis (40:22)

Here's what I need to know, though. Better than Harbaugh and Mark Anthony Rich. I need to know.

Maura Ahrensmiele (40:28)

I need to know.

Rich Davis (40:29)

I need to know to have a really full assessment of how I feel about this. I agree. The best two options would be either to stay in LA or go to Vegas, which was a quick flight. He wouldn't have to change his lifestyle. He gets to keep his own house. But I would need to know, is he just chasing the bag here or does he really believe that the Rams are on the decline and the Raiders.

Maura Ahrensmiele (40:50)

Are on the incline? I'm just saying if the Rams don't work out, you have to have an option, too. And I think this is pretty sweet. You know what you said to me recently?

Rich Davis (40:56)

What?

Maura Ahrensmiele (40:57)

We were in Vegas doing a fight night for Fox Sports Radio and you joked like, yo, bro, would it be cool to do like every Friday show here? You know why you said that? Because it's so damn easy to get to Las Vegas from Southern California that you and I, regular doofuses flying Southwest, get there in 35 minutes.

Rich Davis (41:14)

Dufy is the point.

Maura Ahrensmiele (41:15)

Dufy is the point. Well, think about that while we go to Dan by for an update. Thank you for hanging with us Dufyers.

Mark Seale (41:22)

Hey, perfect transition. I mean, you made it plural. I'll be included in that group. The Jordan Schultz did snap back at Ian Rapaport's report by saying, and I messed up the read earlier on what Schultz's response was. But he said, if you really think Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford just happened to run into each other at a ski resort in Montana, of all places, at the exact same time, I've got a bridge to sell you. That's what Jordan Schultz responded to.

Rich Davis (41:48)

The rap that was a planned out meeting, no doubt.

Mark Seale (41:52)

Absolutely. Speaking of Raider quarterbacks, Derek Carr is a former Raiders quarterback and he's currently with the Saints and he's currently QB1. GM Mickey Loomis says that Carr is expected to be their starter entering next season. You mentioned Debo Samuel's tenure with San Francisco Rich likely coming to an end? Sure sounds like it. From Niners GM John Lynch.

Maura Ahrensmiele (42:11)

We're on good terms with Debo. You know he's asked for a for a fresh start and you know, I think we're going to honor that.

Mark Seale (42:17)

Other news from the 49ers lynch said they've spoken with Brock Purdy about a contract and they plan on having Trent Williams back next season. The NFL will use an electronic system to measure first down starting in 2025. The league experimented with the move in some stadiums in the preseason of 2024. The chain gang. They'll still be on the field, but they'll be used in as a backup and as a visual aid to runners. The Green Bay packers have had conversations about trading corner Jair Alexander, who has two years left on his deal. Andrew Barry said it yesterday with the Browns, and head coach Kevin Stefanski at Cleveland said it again today. They expect to have Miles Garrett in 2025. Guys, back to you.

Maura Ahrensmiele (42:56)

Thanks. Denbigher your thoughts. By the way, if this Matthew Stafford to the Raiders makes perfect sense. If he does, I agree with Kavino. If he doesn't, stay put, one answer only, and that's the Las Vegas Raiders.

Rich Davis (43:11)

And Tom Brady, I'm sure is making that really appealing to him. And I'm curious to see what happens. I'm curious to see what type of money the Raiders are throwing at his at his way.

Maura Ahrensmiele (43:22)

We got more coming up next. Fox Sports Radio. Kavinoinrich.

Maura Ahrensmiele (47:26)

I'm Ashlyn Harris. I need to know.

Rich Davis (47:33)

I need to know Mark Anthony's style, what sort of offerings the Raiders are throwing at Stafford's way. I also need to walk away from about 40 million a year from the Rams and the comfort of just finishing out his career with the team he won with.

Maura Ahrensmiele (47:49)

But you don't know if that 40 mil is even an option. We don't. There's no offer yet, so we'll see. But I also need to know, is Mark Anthony part vampire?

Rich Davis (47:56)

He is. Yeah, he is. He looks like a vampire. Speaking of. But yeah, the story goes that Tommy Brady. You know, Tommy, Tom Brady and Matt Stafford are hanging around Buddy Chummy in Montana, skiing and probably doing business. There's no doubt. Doing business. Tom Brady was obviously spending. You think Tom Brady just hangs with quarterbacks for no reason? No, they didn't bump into each other by accident. He's trying to see if he can get him to play for the Raiders, period.

Maura Ahrensmiele (48:27)

Have you ever.

Rich Davis (48:28)

And beauty of having a Tom Brady as a partial owner.

Maura Ahrensmiele (48:32)

Have you ever had that happen in your personal life?

Rich Davis (48:35)

Hang out with Tom Brady?

Maura Ahrensmiele (48:37)

No. That would be pretty sweet.

Rich Davis (48:38)

That would be cool.

Maura Ahrensmiele (48:39)

Now, the terrible coincidence that, like, my ex is here, some girls here, and you're like, honey, I did. It was not planned. Because you're right. That report from Ian Rappaport and who was the. Who was the other one? It was Schultz arguing over whether. Whether or not it's a. It's a coincidence. What's the chance of Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford being at the same resort in Montana? It's like, hey, you're here, I'm here.

Rich Davis (49:07)

We've been dancing all this time. What a coincidence. Rich, rich people vacation in, like, very similar spots. You hear about it, they all share their spots. It's like, oh, you want to avoid the plebes, Go stay here. Oh, that's how these. Good to see you. Didn't. Oh, tell me, didn't Alex Rodriguez and Cashman just happen to be at some banquet together? And Cashman's like, yo, man, how about you play for the Yankees? And a Rod's like, what? Like, that's how things happen. Don't act like business wasn't going down. You think they were just high five and hitting the mountain? Think they were just hitting some moguls? Like, yeah, what's up? Think they were just riding down the black diamond together holding hands?

Maura Ahrensmiele (49:49)

There is something to be said about how the K12 rich people do hang at the same places. So I. It's too much of a coincidence.

Rich Davis (49:56)

No way.

Maura Ahrensmiele (49:58)

No way.

Rich Davis (49:58)

What? No way. This was a meeting. Don't be fooled.

Maura Ahrensmiele (50:03)

Speaking of a Rod, you brought up a Rod and how he bumped into Brian Cashman back in the day.

Rich Davis (50:08)

Well, yeah, they were at some sort of banquet. I think that's the backstory. And it was just like, you know, in passing, like, yeah, you know, maybe, would you play third base? And a Rod was like, are you serious with the pinstripes? I do anything, and that's how business happens.

Maura Ahrensmiele (50:23)

Well, speaking of a Rod, sometimes, I posted a clip on my Instagram story, Rich Davis. Hey, give me a follow. What the heck? A Rod, who we've talked about changed his image so much in the last handful of years. Like, he went from putz to, like, really likable guy. There's a video of a Rod getting lunch at, like, your diner, and some little kid comes up to a Rod with his iPad. He's like, hey, Mr. Rod. A rod, can you look at my swing and give me some tips? And a Rod's encouraging this little kid looking at his swing. I love that on the iPad, I'm like, you know what? A Rod is the best example of change his image for the better.

Rich Davis (51:04)

I mean, you can never deny his love and passion of baseball.

Maura Ahrensmiele (51:07)

But watching him help this little kid, honestly, you'll be like, ah, how cute, man. So you're saying a Rod is a. He's a. Okay. In my book, I really do.

Danny G (51:15)

Okay, Rod.

Maura Ahrensmiele (51:16)

I never hated a Rod like other people did.

Rich Davis (51:19)

But what I learned from that is that Rich would call him Mr. Rod if he met him.

Maura Ahrensmiele (51:23)

Excuse me, Mr. Rod.

Rich Davis (51:25)

I'm wearing those pajamas. Yeah, that's my takeaway.

Maura Ahrensmiele (51:29)

Oh, Mr. Rod.

Bobby Bones (51:30)

Mr. Rod.

Rich Davis (51:31)

It's a pleasure to meet you. I have your jersey. Well, I hope it doesn't say Mr. Rod on it. So thank you. Great story. Live from the Tyrack.com studio. We got midweek, major next hour plus the team report cards.

Maura Ahrensmiele (51:46)

And speaking of a Rod helping a little Leaguer, I have a piece of advice for all the parents that are coaching kids sports and are involved every weekend with all your kids sports and activities. A great piece of advice coming up next right here. Cavino and Rich, this is Nikki Glaser.

From the Nikki Glaser Podcast. On a more serious note, I'm still thinking about that commercial with Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg hating on each other because when you listen to the reasons for hating someone or something, you realize just how stupid they really are.
