Hour 2 - NFL History in the Making

Summary

Summary of "Hour 2 - NFL History in the Making" from The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Release Date: January 25, 2025

In the second hour of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, the hosts delve deep into pivotal topics shaping the current NFL landscape, with a particular focus on the New York Mets' star player Pete Alonso and the critical NFL playoff matchups between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, as well as the Buffalo Bills versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The episode is rich with analysis, spirited debates, and insightful predictions that will resonate with both avid followers and casual fans of the sport.

1. Pete Alonso and the Mets' Future

The hour kicks off with a heated discussion about Pete Alonso's future with the New York Mets. Host Covino expresses frustration over conflicting reports regarding Alonso's contract negotiations and the Mets' commitment to retaining their star player. He states:

"I saw two contradicting articles. One said Mets have told other players to start preparing to take reps at first base... another report suggests the Mets are back in the Pete Alonso sweepstakes, possibly offering six years at $140 million." ([41:09])

Co-Host Dan Beyer adds his perspective, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding Alonso's performance trajectory and the Mets' strategic decisions:

"Maybe they're right and Pete Alonzo from this point on his production just keeps going down. Maybe he'll end up batting .205 hitting 28 home runs and it just the trajectory's down." ([04:44])

The conversation underscores the challenges teams face in balancing player performance, contract negotiations, and future prospects, especially with a high-profile athlete like Alonso at the center.

2. NFL Playoff Predictions and Betting Picks

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the imminent NFL playoff games, focusing on the Eagles vs. Commanders and the Bills vs. Chiefs matchups. The hosts engage in a lively debate over betting lines, point spreads, and over/under predictions.

a. Eagles vs. Commanders

The Eagles are favored by six points with the over/under set at 47.5 points. Covino takes the Eagles' side, emphasizing their recent performance:

"Commanders and the over. I think the overs are a real good possibility." ([09:26])

However, Co-Host Dan Beyer counters by advocating for the over, citing the offensive strengths of both teams:

"I'm going with the over because they were scoring points like it was nobody's business that last game." ([09:40])

Gerald, another host, aligns with Covino, reinforcing support for the Commanders:

"I give the commanders plus six and the over." ([10:50])

b. Bills vs. Chiefs

The second major playoff game discussed is between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are slightly favored by two points with an over/under of 48.5. The hosts weigh in with varying opinions:

Covino expresses confidence in the Bills:

"I like Bill's money line. I think Bills just win this game." ([13:02])

Conversely, Dan Beyer sides with the Chiefs but opts for the under, anticipating a defensive battle:

"I'm going with Chiefs on this one. Look, they found a way to just beat everybody... I'm taking the under on this one." ([13:35])

Gerald also supports the under, reflecting a consensus among most hosts:

"I'm going with the Bills to cover in this game... I like the under." ([14:30])

3. Emotional Influences on Players' Performances

The episode touches on the profound impact personal circumstances can have on athletes' performances. A poignant moment arises when discussing Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose grandfather is in hospice:

"Patrick Mahomes, his grandfather is in hospice, so that's a lot. That could be something that either gets him behind or distracts him." ([18:00])

Covino reflects on the emotional toll personal events can have, drawing parallels with historical sports moments:

"If Josh Allen were to beat Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and then go to the Super Bowl and beat Jalen Hurts and Saquon, that would be insane." ([15:55])

This segment underscores the human element in sports, where athletes' personal lives intersect with their professional performances.

4. Mark Andrews' Media Response

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around Mark Andrews, the star tight end for the Baltimore Ravens, and his recent decision to refrain from speaking with the media after a subpar performance. The hosts debate whether such a response is acceptable in today's social media-driven world.

Covino questions the necessity of a public statement from Andrews:

"Do you think he, in today's social media world, is a statement expected?" ([35:25])

Dan Beyer defends Andrews, emphasizing the importance of mental health and personal composure:

"He didn't want to present something that could be used against him in the future. He was really down on himself in the moment and probably wanted to just clear his thoughts." ([36:20])

Gerald adds that while leaders like quarterbacks and coaches are expected to communicate, tight ends may not bear the same responsibility:

"Mark Andrews is the leader of the team. You shouldn't have to. He can answer the questions for himself." ([36:30])

This exchange highlights the evolving expectations of athlete communication and the balance between personal privacy and public accountability.

5. Coaching and Team Updates

The hosts provide updates on coaching changes and team strategies across the NFL:

• Raiders and Chiefs: Covino and Beyer discuss the possibility of Pete Carroll taking over as the Raiders' head coach, potentially becoming the oldest head coach to take the helm if signed in mid-September. They also mention the Chiefs' defensive strategies and their past performances against teams like the Eagles and 49ers.

• Eagles and Bills: Updates regarding injuries such as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts potentially wearing a knee brace, and Bills running back Quinn Sean Judkins entering the NFL Draft.

6. Final Thoughts and Conclusions

As the hour wraps up, the hosts reflect on the intertwining of team legacies, player performances, and emotional narratives that define the NFL. Covino draws an analogy comparing the current Bills team to legendary teams from the past, emphasizing the historical significance of potential playoff outcomes.

"If Josh Allen were to beat Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and then go to the Super Bowl and beat Jalen Hurts and Saquon, that would be insane." ([15:55])

Beyer echoes the sentiment, expressing hope for the Bills' success and the enduring legacy of key players like Josh Allen.

"The Bills are going to force the Chiefs to step up and they're going to step up and pull it out." ([18:02])

Notable Quotes

• Covino on Pete Alonso:

  "I saw two contradicting articles... Maybe offering six years at $140 million." ([41:09])

• Beyer on Mark Andrews:

  "He didn't want to present something that could be used against him in the future." ([36:20])

• Covino on Emotional Impact:

  "Patrick Mahomes, his grandfather is in hospice, so that's a lot... That could distract him." ([18:00])

• Consensus on Bills vs. Chiefs:

  "We're all going Commanders and the over... Except Dan on the under." ([14:55])

Conclusion

In "Hour 2 - NFL History in the Making," The Herd with Colin Cowherd offers a comprehensive analysis of critical NFL narratives, from player contracts and team strategies to the personal lives of athletes influencing game performances. The hosts' dynamic discussions provide listeners with a nuanced understanding of the complexities within professional sports, making it an engaging episode for anyone invested in the evolving stories of the NFL and Major League Baseball.

[Covino]

Now. I still have dumb Mets fans friends that are like don't worry, people come back to the Mets to wrap up that last thought. Sometimes ownership doesn't have a feel for what the fans are are wanting. It could be a change at the stadium with the team with something. And I think right now for his great and almost perfect of an owner as Steve Cohen's been for the Mets, I think they're sort of dropping the ball in this Pete Alonzo thing now. Hey, maybe they're right and Pete Alonzo from this point on his production just keeps going down. Maybe, maybe he'll end up batting.205 hitting 28 home runs and it just the trajectory's down. But as of right now, they sign Juan Soto. They do it every. They do it all.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, but what Made and then Pilon, so exciting signing great is that he was going to come to a team that already had an established backbone. And Pete Alonzo was part of that. He's part of the foundation of what made the Mets great, in my opinion.

[Covino]

Last year, he started the whole lfgm.

[Dan Beyer]

Right. I mean, so you get rid of that guy. I'm not saying that Soto's not going to play well, but it's not going to be as a. That's a big bat to lose in the lineup, that's all. He had 34 home runs on an off year last year.

[Covino]

I'm just saying that if there's a dude that wants to win, and, you know, the Dodgers look dominant on paper, but the Mets are really, you know, they're in a different position than they used to be. Ownership wants to spend money and win. And I look at it like if Pete went somewhere because they said, yeah, dude, seven years, 200 million, you can't resist it.

[Dan Beyer]

What'd you say about Pete Wentz?

[Covino]

If Pete Alonzo has an opportunity to go to, like, the Angels or Blue Jays for a little more money, I just find it so odd that the Mets want to be like, if that's the case, if that's the feeling, just give him a little more. Keep him here in Queens. Like, I just don't get it at all. It's a really interesting. It's almost like the Mets are anxious to get rid of Pete Alonzo. Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

It's really weird to see how this is playing out and can't wait to see what happens. Man, I wish the Yankees could have scooped him up, but then again, Goldschmidt. And it's not like we also have to keep this in mind, too. It's not that nobody wants Pete, is that they've already made moves. There's not a lot of space for that.

[Covino]

There's always room for someone if you want.

[Dan Beyer]

There's not. Or else the Yankees would scoop them. They got Goldschmidt. They don't need Pete Alonzo. Right. So there's a lot of teams. That's why maybe he could end up a Blue Jay. Because the Blue Jays have to hedge their bet on losing Vladdy. You know, they might need him. Who knows? I'm curious to see what happens.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

But based on our other conversation, too, Devin Haney called out Sylvester Stallone for not knowing anything about boxing.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Off the air, we were talking about how that's the premise, you know, trusting an actor to be a professional. That's the premise of Galaxy Quest. I was. Sam was saying.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

And it's also the premise of Three Amigos. Kind of the little village thought they were the heroes.

[Covino]

And that's even. That's kind of like a. The Three Amigos is like a kind.

[Dan Beyer]

Of a Truman show kind of idea.

[Covino]

You know, put on the movie.

[Dan Beyer]

But Galaxy Quest, underrated movie from late 90s.

[Covino]

Yeah, but both, both great, you know, both cult classics.

[Dan Beyer]

We talked about how actors are kind of knowledgeable in the roles they're portraying. And Sylvester Stallone, definitely one of those guys. So are you ready to put some money on it, Rich?

[Covino]

Let's do it. Because I got five on it.

[Dan Beyer]

We got five on it. Cause we're all getting involved.

[Covino]

Do it.

[Rich]

Conference championship weekend. Two big ones on Sunday. We're going to go around the room and each get to give our 2 cents on the against the spread lines here. Rich will give us those numbers in just a moment. Let's go to the studio line, see which listener is going to win a swiggy and participate with us in the picks. Gerald in west Kentucky.

[Covino]

Gerald.

[Dan Beyer]

What up, Gerald? What's happening?

[Covino]

What's happening, man? Gerald's game. Kavina. Watch that movie and can't stop raving.

[Dan Beyer]

About it on Gerald's Game on Netflix. What a wild movie that is, man. I've got a story about that. Do you? Is it quick? I'll try to. I was dating a girl when the book came out and she bought it for me. And if you know anything about it, it doesn't start real well for Gerald. I quit reading after chapter one and we didn't date that much longer. Wow. Yeah, dude. I had to shut that movie off. It was so wild. But I ended up finishing it. I didn't like it that much, but it's a wild movie. It's a Stephen King movie on Netflix. You know what? I'll tell you more about it during weekend hobnobbing later on the show.

[Covino]

Now, there's two games, so I don't want to throw you guys for any loop de loop, but since it's only.

[Rich]

Two games, you're going to put five zero on it.

[Covino]

Yeah, let's put 50. Let's do five. Zero on it.

[Dan Beyer]

And I got five. Own it.

[Covino]

How about this, too? Let's throw over unders in there just for the helvet. That makes it four best.

[Rich]

All right.

[Covino]

The spread for each game and the over under. Let's start with the early game. And I love that the early game is the, the, you know, the lesser of the two in my opinion, everyone's looking for it to Bills, Chiefs, but commanders at Philadelphia. Eagles are favored by six. The over, under 47 and a half. Eagles by six. 47 and a half. Cavino, age before beauty. Go ahead. Speaking of Rocky and Apollo, what do you think the commanders plus six, huh?

[Dan Beyer]

And I'm going with the over because, I mean, they were scoring points like it was nobody's business that last game. Yeah, anything could happen with Saquon on one side and Jaden. Jaden Daniels on the other. Yeah, I'll go with that for the fun of it.

[Covino]

28, 28, 21, 28, 24, 28, 24 wins you the bet. 28, 21 does not win you the bet.

[Dan Beyer]

But yeah, I just think, you know, we talked to Clay Matthews today about momentum. They both have momentum. So I think the oversight, a real good possibility. But when it comes to momentum, I'm not saying that Philly don't have it, but I think the commanders definitely have it.

[Covino]

All right, before I make my choice, Dan Byer, what's the weather looking like in Philadelphia on Sunday? Do you have that off the top of your head or no?

[Gerald]

No.

[Covino]

Okay, I'll look.

[Dan Beyer]

I see.

[Covino]

I see 38 degrees here. 38 degrees and partly cloudy.

[Dan Beyer]

That's what I'm seeing in a little.

[Covino]

The little tiny info thing on.

[Gerald]

I did have the Kansas City one. I didn't look up the channel.

[Covino]

Well, with that said, DB you're up next if you want in. What do you. What do you think, guys?

[Gerald]

You know, I'm a Cavino guy, so I like what Cavino's cooking there. Commanders plus six.

[Dan Beyer]

Nice.

[Gerald]

And I don't see any reason why it wouldn't go over considering what we've seen of these teams as of late. I still am not convinced if Washington is actually good or not, but I think last week that they proved it. Give me the commanders plus six in the over.

[Covino]

Well, there you go. DB And Cavino on the same page. Commanders and the over. And I don't want to already said that, but I'm going Commanders and the over as well. I really am. 3 for 3. Anyway, I feel you on your explanation was sort of what I was thinking. So I'm not going to just be a contrarian for the hell of it.

[Rich]

No, we could go fast here. It's exactly what I wrote down, man.

[Covino]

All right, so we all like commanders in the over. Is that just a sentimental pick, do we? I mean, the Eagles have not lost in a long time, but they did.

[Rich]

Lose 36, 33 see what spot in Iowa. Sam and Gerald think.

[Covino]

Yeah, what do you think?

[Dan Beyer]

I'm going to take the commanders because I think they're it's their time but I'm going to take the under.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Dan Beyer]

I think they're going to cancel each other out and I think it's going.

[Covino]

To be a little little defensive battle in the first half. Maybe a little little nerves. Gerald, what do you think, buddy?

[Dan Beyer]

Well, I hate to pile on but I got to go commanders and over. But I would be willing to go money line if I get to make, you know, some more money out of it.

[Covino]

Commander's money line. Why not? So if you like the commanders, some people saying why not go command? There's money line then. All right. Gerald Cavino, myself and Buyer all the same. Danny? The same. Sam, what do you got? I got the Eagles winning commanders covering and I'll take the over.

[Rich]

I think so Is that what everyone else picked?

[Covino]

We're all going commanders over. Except for spotty on the under.

[Dan Beyer]

Yep.

[Covino]

Wow, look at that. All right, let's move on to the the Sunday game. Game two, same game two AFC battle.

[Rich]

Now we could ask about the weather on that one.

[Covino]

Yeah. Bill's Chiefs, what is the weather report? Damn.

[Gerald]

Buyer again mid to low thir.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Gerald]

Creeping into the upper 20s. No precipitation expected.

[Covino]

So so really just good playoff weather in January. Typical chilly, crisp, cold football weather where your long johns you know. Danny G. Let's go with you to start off do we like it's Buffalo at Kansas City as we all know, Chiefs by two, Chiefs by two.

[Rich]

Now I was seeing that at one and a half earlier and we got.

[Covino]

Over under 48 and a half pretty similar. Just one more point.

[Rich]

All right. I'm going to go under on the points.

[Covino]

Okay.

[Rich]

And because I like the Chiefs defense but I'm going to say the Bills and Mahomes run here. No three peat for you Mr. You.

[Covino]

Know Danny G. Again, I'm just, I'm sitting back, I'm just moderating this because you just said what I'm thinking. I'm going Bills. I like Bill's money line. I think Bills just win this game and the Chiefs have a great defense and as you saw last week, it's not like Kansas City just slaying it. Offensively they're finding ways to win. But Kansas City doesn't put up 30 or 40 anymore. It's not like Mahomes 50 touchdown season. So I sort of like the Bills.

[Dan Beyer]

In the under here we got five oh on it now since we got Five. Oh, on it.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

I'll never bet against my homes.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

So I'm going with Chiefs on this one. Look, they found a way to just beat everybody, right? Just beat her. Why would they not just beat Buffalo in this situation? It's all about winning. It's not about. Yeah. At home. It's not about how bad they beat him. I think they're going to find a way to still beat them. They're still the Chiefs, but I'm going the under on this one.

[Covino]

Okay. Dan Buyer.

[Gerald]

I feel like I'm. I'm taking the easy way out by saying what I'm about to say. I like. We all make our preseason predictions and I'm sure we all have dogs in the fight. I have the Bill still in the fight for my AFC representative, so I am going with the Bills to at least cover in this game. But the extreme love for Buffalo everywhere is gotten me concerned if I'm cheering for the Bills in that game, considering they needed three turnovers and a drop by Mark Andrews to even get past the Ravens at home. So just worried about that. And I like the under. Like you guys as well.

[Covino]

This. I don't. I think. I think so far we're all very much in agreement. Spotty, let's go to you.

[Dan Beyer]

I'll be in disagreement again. I like the I want. I want. You know what? It's a want.

[Gerald]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

I want the Bills to win. I do. But I'm going to take the over. I think it's going to be a.

[Covino]

Chef Chiefs in the over or. But Bills. You want the Bills in the over?

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, Yeah, I want the Bills. The Bills will win.

[Covino]

Oh, you're willing them to win?

[Dan Beyer]

I'm willing them to win, and I'm taking the over.

[Covino]

You're billing them to win. Gerald, what do you think, my friend?

[Dan Beyer]

I'm not betting against my homes. I'm sorry. And I think it's going to be a gunfest. And so I'm taking the over. Nice.

[Covino]

And I was. Sam, are you left here or what?

[Rich]

I am.

[Covino]

I picked the Bills to be in the super bowl, so I'm going to stick with that. Bills win outright, and I'm taking it.

[Dan Beyer]

So I'm with Spot here.

[Covino]

I'm taking the over and the Bills to win. There you go. All right. There you have it. Kavino and Rich. I got five.

[Rich]

What a nice Sunday coming up.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm just thinking about Josh Allen's path, too. Like, what an awesome path if he were to continue on here, you know.

[Covino]

What it reminds me of, it reminds me of when Tom Brady won in Tampa. Along the way he beat Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. So you know, if Josh Allen were to beat Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and then go to the super bowl and beat Jalen Hurts and Saquon, that would be insane. You know.

[Gerald]

And Bo Nix, don't forget.

[Dan Beyer]

No, really, man. That's really impressive.

[Rich]

Feels like a special season for Josh Allen.

[Dan Beyer]

It does.

[Rich]

And by the way, really quick. Thank you Gerald in West Kentucky on the line that we're going to ship off a Swiggy to you.

[Dan Beyer]

Nice.

[Gerald]

I got something for Rich Jason who whether Manor Montana listening to the network, always listening to the show tweets in this that if the. If it's the. If it's the Bills Eagles, that means that the Bills will have faced the entire NFC east in a Super bowl, becoming the first team to actually face all teams in a division.

[Rich]

That's insane.

[Gerald]

Yes.

[Covino]

So I thought, I know you and I love super bowl history. Dan. I was thinking that if the Chiefs somehow find a way and they beat the Eagles, the Chiefs will have had four Super Bowls. Beating the Niners twice and the Eagles twice. So there's two fan bases that hate the Chiefs, that Eagles and Niners like really come on four. And oh. So that is interesting is right. The Bills will have faced the Giants the Norwood year against the Redskins back in the day.

[Gerald]

And your 49ers would need one team to close out the AFC West. That would be Danny's Raiders.

[Covino]

That is true. They beat the Chargers 49 26, the Broncos 55 10. And they lost twice to the Chiefs. So we shall see. Thank you guys for all playing along. Thank you. You know, let us know. At Kobe and on Rich, it simply becomes a four layer parlay. A four leg parlay, two point spreads, two over unders. The consensus in the studio for the most part is commanders with the points and the over, Bills with the points and the under. But I think we're big dreaming. I really do. I think because we have such a soft spot for Josh Allen Covino's thinking with his brain, betting against Mahomes is ridiculous. My. My dad, who you know him and I like to gamble together.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. This seems to be a team or it seems to be a year where they play to their compet.

[Covino]

Yeah, I don't care. I'll be wrong.

[Dan Beyer]

The Bills are going to.

[Covino]

I don't care if I'm wrong.

[Dan Beyer]

Force the Chiefs to step up and they're going to step up and pull it out.

[Covino]

Yeah. My dad, like I said, who I gamble with quite a bit over the years, he would always say, if I bet on Tom Brady and lose, I won't be mad. But if I bet against Tom Brady, this is in the 2010s. My dad's like, if you bet against Tom Brady and you lose, you're just a fool. You know, like, it's a.

[Dan Beyer]

You betting against Tom Brady. It's like, that's my home.

[Covino]

Then, like, you almost deserve it.

[Dan Beyer]

Mm.

[Covino]

It's like when you bet on a real trash team to cover a lot of points and then they lose by 20. You're like, well, what was I doing betting on, you know, a 2 and 14 team or something?

[Dan Beyer]

So can I. I was just looking at tmz. This is. It's very sad news, but I saw this, too. It could sway the game one way or the other.

[Covino]

Emotion wise.

[Dan Beyer]

Emotion wise.

[Covino]

I saw this sad, sad stuff.

[Dan Beyer]

Patrick Mahomes, his grandfather is in hospice, so that means he has probably days left to live. So that's. That could be something that either gets.

[Dallas Goddard]

Behind him, do you know, do it.

[Dan Beyer]

For Grandpa or that could distract him for Johnny Rule, man, we talked about that.

[Sam]

Johnny.

[Covino]

So do it for Johnny. Or you're right. The emotions could take over. And you know what? He just became a dad. There's a lot. You know, Mahomes has a lot of probably emotional highs and lows in his personal life. So we shall see.

[Dan Beyer]

He's focused.

[Covino]

Yeah, we'll. We'll see.

[Gerald]

Do you guys miss that the Lions aren't still playing?

[Dan Beyer]

Yes.

[Covino]

Yeah. There's a part of me that thought.

[Dan Beyer]

Like, especially since I had them going.

[Covino]

The distance, I mean, yeah, listen, Washington's a cool story, you know?

[Dan Beyer]

It is.

[Covino]

I feel like. I'll give you a boxing analogy. When Canelo Alvarez fought Floyd Mayweather, he fought him too young. And you knew that Mayweather was just going to win. That's how I feel about. I want, you know, the commanders. I feel like, yo, Jaden Daniels, what a story. But they're not there yet, so I can't really take them serious against one of these teams. Like the Lions or the Eagles would have made a formidable NFC representative.

[Gerald]

I also have a theory that guys like you and Rich, you're a little bit younger than me and Cavino, but I think we're all in the ballpark. And throw Danny Spot in there as well. We remember when Washington was good.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

We remember when they were winning Super Bowls and they were a competitor in the nfc and they were a contender.

[Rich]

Doug Williams.

[Gerald]

Yes.

[Covino]

Mark Rip.

[Gerald]

Yeah. Just all, like, so growing up. So Washington going back to a Super bowl, while it's been a long time for their fans, isn't foreign to us. The Lions were foreign because they've never been that good. They haven't been in contention. And so I think that's a part that's missing. Like, I get their fan base. They're sitting there saying, 30 years, you know, between Super Bowls, like, there's a reason that there's a drought. But as a fan and the age that we are, we do remember a time when Washington was successful and, you.

[Covino]

Know, as a Niners fan, to piggyback that, or a Cowboys fan, for that matter. Some of these teams that have such a legacy in our childhood, if you were a kid of the 80s or 90s, you know, Niners, Cowboys, Redskins, Giants, there were a handful of teams that just dominated. Yeah. And when you really think about it, the last time, the Redskins, now Commanders, Niners and Cowboys, all one early to mid-90s. Those teams have all been on a major draft. But in our mind, they're dynasties.

[Gerald]

The opposite for me, and maybe not for Covino, because it's a fan of his team, but it involves his team. Was it was unique for me to see the Yankees in the World series in the mid-90s.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, yeah.

[Gerald]

You know, because all I knew of them, I wasn't old enough to remember early 80s. But then there was no Yankees for.

[Dan Beyer]

You know, went from what, 81 to 96.

[Gerald]

Yeah, yeah. So I had no idea. So that whole span fit perfectly into my life. So when they go to the World Series, it's like, holy smokes, the Yankees are in the World Series. Where people were probably like, ah, darn it, the Yankees are.

[Covino]

You know, the perception of years. Know, I sound like I'm. Guys, I have not had an edible, I promise.

[Dan Beyer]

No, I sound like you fall into that time.

[Covino]

I sound like it's a. It's like a high thought, but like, it's time, bro. Right. Time. No, but when you think of the Yankees this past year making the World Series, in your mind, it felt like, oh, the Yankees again again was. Oh, nine. Again was 09. So that's the difference of when they played the Dodgers in the early 80s and the Braves in 96.

[Gerald]

Sure.

[Covino]

So the gap between 1980s, 81, Yankees, Dodgers to the 96, Joe, Tori Jeter, Yankees is the same difference of the 09A Rod Jeter Till now.

[Gerald]

But they weren't even really making the. They weren't making the playoffs in the 80s. Different format.

[Dan Beyer]

Different format, but, oh, they made it in 95. What Mattingly remember. But yeah, man, I feel you.

[Rich]

And really quick, Covino, back to Rich's point about Jaden Daniels being too young. We heard a lot about that last weekend. His rookie, his great rookie runs gonna end here, but he plays with such calm composure. He's so poised. He does not look like a rookie.

[Dan Beyer]

And he's having fun out there. Yeah.

[Rich]

And he doesn't make barely any mistakes.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, I can't wait to see it. Can't wait to see it. I get what Dan's saying and I understand where he's coming from completely. But, yeah, if he plays the way.

[Rich]

He played last week, it'll be NFL history.

[Dan Beyer]

That'd be crazy.

[Covino]

If, if, if it ends up which likely the odds in Vegas would be. This is the fourth likeliest outcome. Your two underdogs, Bill's commanders. You're looking at a rookie quarterback winning the super bowl or a dynasty that lost four in a row in the super bowl and has never won. There's. There's a happy outcome regardless. If it's Eagles. Bills. Eagles won with Nick Foles. Like, what, less than 10 years ago?

[Dan Beyer]

As great as it would be to see a rookie win the Super Bowl, I would still be rooting for the Bills there. You know, to win one after everything we've seen in the 90s. So. All right, your thoughts?

[Covino]

And as we said on Over Promise yesterday, did you guys see the story that Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly and all the old school Bill said that they would jump through tables with the Bills mafia?

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

But if the Bills win.

[Dan Beyer]

One thing I didn't say on Over Promise and you could watch it on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, episode 77, our bonus podcast. You listen, you could watch. I really hope they wouldn't. They would break a hip and it would be horrible to watch. Like, I would not.

[Covino]

Thurman Thomas broke his hip.

[Dan Beyer]

I would not want to see any of those dudes jumping into folding tables if they want. Because he said they jump in four times if they won. Didn't he say that?

[Covino]

No.

[Dan Beyer]

I'd hate to see that.

[Covino]

All right, well, hey, we got more cnr, more Covino and Rich. Next we'll go over a weekend hobnobbin and some more NFL fun right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Dan Beyer]

He was a Ram for one year and he's a stud personable guy, nice guy. We got along real well with him. We want you to watch the interview. It's going to be on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page in a half hour. Never seen before. So you got two over promised episodes this week. Yeah, episode 77. Yesterday we talked about Ichiro, the Hall of Fame. We talked about super bowl traditions, football traditions and more. Today, Clay Matthews something else we talked.

[Covino]

To Clay about which I think we sometimes neglect to remember when these young players are drafted. Danny G. You know where Clay Matthews is from. I'm just putting you on the spot. Do you know?

[Rich]

No, I don't know.

[Covino]

He's from Agora Hills, right over here.

[Rich]

Oh, that's.

[Dan Beyer]

He went.

[Rich]

My neighborhood.

[Covino]

He went to usc. So this is Southern California kid.

[Rich]

Yeah, I knew usc. I didn't know where he came from, though.

[Covino]

How do you adjust to them being drafted by Green Bay?

[Dan Beyer]

So his whole experience back then. Yeah.

[Covino]

I'll give you a little hint. It's almost very. It's almost Vince Lombardi, like, where he's like, where's Green Bay?

[Dan Beyer]

It was almost the same story. Yeah. Yeah. I also asked him about, as a former football player, how he'd handle this whole Patrick Mahomes situation. Like, what do you want to pop him? And if you want to hear a little something, a little bit of what you're going to see later on, on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, take a listen. As a fan and former player, when you're watching with your family, do you say to your bros, your buddy, man, I would totally have popped Mahomes if he tried that on me. Like, yeah. What's your mindset with that?

[Gerald]

It is difficult at times to watch the referees throw flags on these hits that are clear as day, not roughing the passer, fouls. You know, if we're looking for a solution, I think there needs to be an emphasis on intent. You know, intent. And you look at, I want to say, was the Anderson hit on Mahomes? And you know, they said he hit him. Him up high, clearly hit him in the shoulder pad or chest. Is that a close one?

[Covino]

Perhaps.

[Gerald]

But then the next one where he darts back inside Mahomes, that is. And the two people go over top of them, immediately, they throw a flag. Well, you gotta. The intent of Mahomes running the. The ball is to draw a flag, too. And you saw that on another one where he went on the sideline, he kind of slowed down and flopped out of bounds. I just. It ruins the game a little bit. And if they are going to do that, they just need to be runners. They need. They designate themselves as runner.

[Dan Beyer]

They.

[Gerald]

They need to take those hits. And if they don't want those hits, they stay in the pocket, throw the ball away.

[Covino]

Full interview, lots of fun. It'll be posted right after the show.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, we talk about Aaron Rodgers. We talk about life as a dad, life after football. We talk about Mark Andrews and how he had the worst game ever and how players feel when things like that happen and should they be expected to talk to the press because, as you know, Andrews didn't. But he addressed it on social media and he said he was just too gutted and he apologized and all that.

[Covino]

I mean, and let me ask you, in a world we live in now where, you know, 10, 20, even, obviously longer than that, years ago, there was no social media. There was no real way for a player or celebrity or notable person to put their thoughts out there. Right. I mean, if you.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, that's why they had publicists. I mean, publicists still exist, but a lot of people, a lot of players don't need them because they could express themselves on their own platforms, on their own social media.

[Covino]

Yeah, no, I mean, actors, actresses, athletes, and listen, even politicians, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, there have been presidents that use social media to get a message out.

[Dan Beyer]

There where legitimate statements are made.

[Covino]

Yeah. So with that said, let me ask you, do you think it's the responsibility of a player to comment on, I guess you would say, like, a game gone wrong or a play gone wrong or like, does Mark Andrews owe it to the fans, to the people? Like, that was a very nice statement that he's gutted and, you know, that he's a great player. The guy is one of the better tight ends in the league. But do you think he, in today's social media world, is a statement expected?

[Dan Beyer]

No. Not from your tight end who's done everything he could again, hall of Fame career. You know how he felt in that moment. You know, he felt terrible. And I think when you're not going to bring your best, like, I. I subscribe to, like, I won't even go out if I don't feel my best. Like, if I feel like I'm not going to bring good company, I'm like, I'm going to stay home. That's just how I am. I want to bring my best at all times. And he didn't want to present something that could be used against him in the future. He may have said something that, you know, wouldn't have sounded right in the moment. He was really down on himself in the moment and probably wanted to just clear his thoughts. I think there are people that you do expect to hear from and you could say, well, that's not fair to them, but they're also the quarterback and the coach for a reason. You know, you're going to hear from Lamar Jackson, you're going to hear from Harbaugh, you're going to hear from the other leaders of the team. And that, I think, falls on their responsibility a little more than the tight end.

[Covino]

What do you think, do you guys.

[Gerald]

Ever have that friend that just doesn't do anything or flakes out on stuff? You have to cover up for him or her all the time.

[Dan Beyer]

It's not fair. I get it.

[Gerald]

Yeah, yeah. Mark Andrews is the leader of the team. You shouldn't have to. He's can answer the questions for himself. It shouldn't fall on everybody else.

[Dan Beyer]

But they're going to have to answer those questions anyway. Even if Mark Andrews, let's say Andrews did answer those questions. Right. Lamar Jackson's still going to be asked about it.

[Gerald]

Lamar Jackson will. But I think that there's. You're looking for someone because Mark Andrews isn't speaking. So now you're asking a bunch of other players who don't have any say on the matter. If Mark Andrews was in his locker room taking questions after the game. That's where all the reporters are going to be because they're hearing from Mark Andrews in that scenario.

[Covino]

You know what? I don't mind though? In that scenario. I don't mind that he, he did the equivalent of let me write the email, save it in my drafts and I'll send it tomorrow. Because like Covino said, a lot of times Joe Rogan says I don't want to talk to a fighter right after he got his bell run. He's, he's not right. And I get it. They're pros, they get paid, they're, you know, celebrities to a lot of young boys and girls everywhere, they're heroes. But I, you know, when you just make the, you know, arguably the worst gutting play of your life.

[Dan Beyer]

He wanted to collect his thoughts. He said the shock and disappointment were unlike anything he's ever felt before.

[Covino]

Yeah, I'll give him that grace, man. I'll give him the grace to say, I'll put out a statement for the fans, you know, later or tomorrow. I, I get it. We live in a now world. But again, I, I know he didn't get knocked out, but it is equal.

[Dan Beyer]

And it's also not the standard for this guy. Right. Like this is an exception here. That's why I'm, I'm understanding of it. I don't think it should be the norm, db, but it's a one time thing from a guy who's always proven to be a good leader. I think you give people with a solid past the exception in the past every once in a while. I don't think it's like who he is, it's just the moment that he had.

[Covino]

Yeah, we all have a rough moment. Like I said, a lot of times, a lot of times people send that email. Like I've made the analogy that it's like, oh, if you sit on it for a couple hours, think about it.

[Gerald]

I don't think it's the end of the world.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

You know, sort of scenario either. But I just think he, he probably should have spoken.

[Dan Beyer]

We'll find out what Clay Matthews thinks about it on Over Promised Again right after this show on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. We asked him about it.

[Covino]

What a good promoter. Let's go to Dan Beyer for an update. DV what's going on man?

[Gerald]

Pete Carroll's gonna be the next head coach of the R Raiders, getting a three year deal with an option for a fourth when he coaches a game this fall. He'll be 74 years old. That's in mid September. So maybe not the first game or two, but after that he'd be the oldest person to ever be a head coach in an NFL game once he coaches. This fall for the Raiders, Jaguars officially announced the hiring of Liam Cohen as their head coach. Well, there's some assistant news. Hank Fraley was sought after by a variety of teams, but the Lions offensive line coach is going to stay in Detroit. Gets a bit of a promotion as he's also been named their run game coordinator. Texans and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik parted ways after two seasons. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurt says he'll probably wear a knee brace for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Commanders. Patriot safety Jabril Pepper is acquitted by a jury in his trial for assault and battery involving an on again, off again female partner in Massachusetts. Ohio State running back Quinn Sean Judkins will enter the 2025 NFL Draft while on three.com reports that Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has an offer of four and a half million dollars to enter the transfer and his teammate at Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate has an offer of $1 million to leave the Buckeyes. Las Vegas will host the College Football Playoff National Championship game for the 2026 season. That game will take place on Monday, January 25th of 2027. Warriors guard Steph Curry the most popular jersey selling or sold jersey for the first half of the NBA season, according to NBA store.com and seven and a half minutes to go in Women's basketball number two South Carolina. Up on number five LSU, 52 to 41. This game was supposed to be played yesterday but they postponed it until today a few days ago because of the storm that hit the South LSU came in 20 and oh and 5 and oh in the SEC, while South Carolina's 18 and 1 and 6 and oh and conference play Gamecocks with the 11 point lead in the fourth quarter. Guys, back to you.

[Covino]

Thanks, DB and congrats again, Danny G. To your Raiders and Pete Carroll. Oh, yeah, I just saw two contradicting Pete Alonzo headline. So I'm sorry, I'm a Mets fan, you know, blame. Blame me if every time I bring up Pete. But I saw two contradicting articles. One said Mets have told other players to start essentially preparing to take reps at first base, like Mark Vientos, who's a third baseman. They're saying be prepared in spring training to take reps at first. Which means.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, the Mets announced that they were moving on from the Pete Alonzo deal.

[Covino]

Dan Beyer would back me up in saying that the Sporting News is a pretty reputable source. Sporting news. I mean, that's not like, you know, you know, Doug's blog. It's a, you know, a legit source. And they're saying.

[Dan Beyer]

Doug who?

[Covino]

Doug.

[Dan Beyer]

What did Gottlieb do to you?

[Covino]

I like Doug. Mets predicted. This is as of an hour ago. There's a new report saying Mets predicted to get back into the Pete Alonso sweepstakes, which seems like it doesn't have many bidders. Maybe offering six years, 140, which would be a little more than 20 a year. So I don't know, man. Your thoughts on Polar Bear Pete? We'll do that. And of course, weekend Hobnob. What do you got to watch this weekend in the world of sports and entertainment? We do it next now.

I'm so sick of hearing men talk about women's basketball. If only there were a professional WNBA player with her own podcast I could listen to. Hey, this is Lexi Brown. WNBA player and professional yapper. And this is Mariah Rose. You may know me from spilling the tea on Hoops for hotties on TikTok. And we've got a new podcast, Full Circle every Wednesday. We're catching you up on on what's going on in women's basketball, and not just in the wnba, but with Athletes Unlimited unrivaled and college basketball. We've got you with analysis, inside stories, and a little bit of tea. I know you guys have seen a lot of former and current basketball players telling their stories from their point of view, and I just think it's time for the girlies to tap in. We want to share all of the women's basketball stories that you won't see anywhere else. Tune in to Full Circle, an iHeart women's sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment Entertainment. You can find us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Johnny, man, do for Johnny.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Is Mahomes gonna do it for Johnny?

[Covino]

Today's Friday.

[Dan Beyer]

His grandpa's in hospice, right? Mahomes, his grandpa.

[Covino]

Yeah. Wishing them well.

[Dan Beyer]

And now it's time for this week's pro of the week. And the Express pros. Man, Danny G was really slapping Sam's ass pretty hard.

[Rich]

That was my bear belly.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, it was Express Pro. Pro of the week goes to Anthony Davis. Lakers beat the Celtics by 21. AD had a night. Even though Dwight Howard's calling him out, AD had a night with 24 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three points. And congrats. Oh, is it three? Oh, I'm sorry. Three steals. Congrats to AD for being our Express Pro of the week.

[Rich]

Rich Davis had three points.

[Dan Beyer]

Rich had three. He had 24 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals. So congrats again to AD and Danny G's Lakers beating the Celtics.

[Rich]

Dude, I even surprised me. I tuned in in the fourth quarter and I was like, say what now?

[Covino]

What's in some Celtic ass? Like, it's, you know, like the Kobe and check days.

[Rich]

That was definitely the Lakers. Best win of the season, no doubt.

[Covino]

Want to get into it Weekend Hobnobbin? What to watch in the world of sports and entertainment. It living for the weekend.

[Dallas Goddard]

You're winning bets for talking points.

[Dan Beyer]

If you get stuck socializing.

[Covino]

You ever done anything dangerous?

[Sam]

Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

[Danny G]

That is dangerous.

[Dallas Goddard]

Friday brings us weekend hobnobby.

[Dan Beyer]

Now, we men, we men have things we watch by ourselves. Sometimes manly men. Well, you know, sometimes you watch shows with your wifey and then there's other shows. She's like, yeah, can we watch something else? One of those shows I recommend is called I am a Killer. And yeah, there's a lot of women into true crime and killing and things like that. Some are not, but if you want to watch it, season 6 just came out and there's one episode that people are really fired up about. I think it was episode three of season six. But the whole season so far, pretty good. I am a Killer. They're real stories about people in prison for life, for murder. That's on Netflix. It's a good show. Sad story, good show. You know what else is on Netflix? We mentioned it before. I know everyone's talking about the games this weekend, but what's the game? No, it's not the Chiefs and the Bills. It's Gerald's game. Why watch two exciting matchups when you can watch an eight year old movie? This came out in 2017, but I saw an article that people, people can't finish this movie because it's so disturbing and it's a Stephen King movie. So I watched it just, I don't know, to kill time. I couldn't believe how disturbing it was. It had my attention for the entire movie. I thought the end was whack. But if it holds your attention in today's world of short attention span, you got to give it credit for that. It stars Carla Gugino. Oh, by the way, looks fantastic in this movie.

[Covino]

Yeah, it does.

[Dan Beyer]

I didn't realize how hot this woman was. And Bruce Greenwood, who's like a ripped 75 year old guy. So Gerald's game, not that old. A really decent thriller. And then I got to shamelessly promote Rich on what to watch this weekend. Overpromise 77 debuted yesterday on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. That's our bonus podcast. You can watch it. You could listen. We talked about Ichiro and we talked about super bowl and football traditions. And episode 78 premieres in eight minutes. That's our interview with Clay Matthews. So definitely check that out over Promised our bonus pod.

[Covino]

All right, a couple things on Netflix. I've watched these. Danny G. You brought it up a couple weeks ago. If you've yet to watch the Jerry Springer documentary, two parts. An easy watch. And it makes you realize what was behind that show when we were, you know, maybe in high school or college. Wags to riches. Not my Steve's, but I feel like there's a lot of people that love all those players, wives and stuff. There's a new season that's on Netflix now. A show, A movie. I'm sorry. Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz. The return of Cameron Diaz. Spot. You were gonna mention this last week.

[Dan Beyer]

I was.

[Covino]

Back in action.

[Dan Beyer]

Back in action. Looks great. Looks fun.

[Covino]

There are a couple that their kids don't know that they're formerly spies. Like, you know, an equation you've seen before, but I think, yeah, sort of. And a baseball movie you gotta believe with Luke. Luke Wilson is on Netflix. And Danny, you were so right about the latest season of Shrinking on Apple tv. And you hit me up. You're on Silo now.

[Rich]

Yeah, so we finished Shrinking and then went to Silo.

[Covino]

Silo's good, huh?

[Rich]

We're two episodes in. It's worth the wait for me.

[Dan Beyer]

What else you watching, Danny?

[Rich]

I noticed there's something on prime, actually on prime video that we might want to check out. It's called Blink Twice. Zoe Kravitz. It's her directorial debut.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, wow.

[Rich]

It's a film about a group of people invited to the private island of tech billionaire Slater King, Channing Tatum. And it's got a great cast. This critic here says, don't watch the trailer if you do want to see this because they spoil things.

[Dan Beyer]

Wasn't Zoe engaged to Channing Tatum at one point? So they're still working together?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Oh, speaking of shows that are on the Comeback now spot. Also Severance, season two.

[Dan Beyer]

Season two is out. If you're heading to the theaters, check out Mark Wahlberg. What? In Flight Risk, he plays the bald guy. He's the bald guy.

[Covino]

Looks pretty intense. Feel free to check that out. All right, perfect. Have a great weekend. Enjoy your football until Monday. Arrivederci, baby.

[Dan Beyer]
