Going into the weekend.
And of course, Pete Carroll Danny g his silver hair already looks good wearing that in the photoshops of him wearing a Raiders shirt.
Yeah, now he just needs to get a Raiders tattoo and.
Pete Carol across his chest right now, he should go salt and pepper now a little more like so he's silver and black. Just streak it in there like he's Poully Walnot no, just grow beard and go Hollywood Hogan and do oh. Yeah, he's got to do something to, you know, bring that vibe for the fans. I think so Pete Carroll the most raw, raw, enthusiastic seventy something year old on planet Earth. Sog the three is the AFC West going with the old guys.
Huh that's kind of cool.
Uh guys, but also I mean quite accomplished. You got a couple of national champions in there. You got a couple of super Bowls. Yeah, we got a bunch of super Bowls in national championships. Perhaps not just any old guy. I didn't say they you know, found George from down the block. Who are the two old guys that sit in the balcony? Who are those guys?
You know, Sam? They're not half bad, they're all bad.
I don't remember their names.
Well, yeah, no, these are established leaders with great resumes and some wisdom behind them.
Statler and Waldorf.
Yeah, that's those guys were about that.
We're talking about Andy Reid, We're talking about Harbaugh, We're talking about Sean Payton, and now p car Carol. You could argue, I don't feel like arguing though it's a Friday. I feel like being chill, So don't argue. I'm just a chill guy. But you could argue it's the most accomplished compilation of coaches in the division in NFL history. I can't think of another time one division had super Bowl champions and national champions four coaches for accomplished guys, No rookies, no, no coaches without a ring or championship.
So no, I think you're right. I saw somebody tweet that out this morning.
And accomplished compilation of coaches ten times fast.
Oh, accomplished complelan I don't know, complass complation of coaches, accomplished compilation of coaches accomplished compilation of.
Coaches together, won't get you a date.
My phone blew up, including our boss. He said, impressive about all the coaches in the AFC West. A friend of mine, Hey, what's up, Cincy. He sent me a tweet and he said, dude, he's so old, and he sent like a skeleton on a bench and wrote. I wrote back, I said, dude, he's in better health than you are, and he's almost seventy four.
Yeah.
I remember those clips.
It was like two years ago or so though, where he was throwing passes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was rolling right, yeah, throwing dying.
Agile for an older guy, like a Mark Wilson pass.
But he looks more agile, more in shape than most people thirty years younger. And I'm not even just saying that. So we'll talk more about that, Danny g. For the most part, though, you got to be pretty excited. Now, that's great leadership for your team.
Yeah, I think the Plan A was Ben Johnson, right, and it's it turns out Chicago had the inside track on him all along, and Plan B really was Pete Carroll because, as our friend Jordan Schultz said this morning, they need an adult in the room. He bonds players and squads together, and he gets along fabulously with NFL players for whatever reason, even though he's that old. He's like one of the young guys who gets along with all the players just coming out of college.
I mean, you know, he's a young at hart kind of guy. He lives for football. He speaks football, he speaks young guy. And you said they needed an adult in the room. Well, then maybe plan B was better than Plan A. You know, maybe it was a buzzing in disguise that Johnson to Chicago.
So hey, props to you. I think that could be cool.
Pete Carroll, old guy, young energy. He's like that, uh you know, the meme of Steve Buscemi. No, but he has the backwards hat and escape children.
It's a real thing, man.
You know, from Rich and I, we speak a younger language than most people our age and identify with younger people probably better than other guys our age, and I think that shows some people have just a younger way about him, a younger mentality.
He's one of those dudes.
But yet he's still an experienced guy with a championship background. They got respect for the dude. He might be a greater fit than we thought. Some people have a mental age and their actual age true. You know, how like some people look or act or feel younger. I know it sounds stupid, but it is true.
Listen.
I talked the times I talk to parents at the school and they talk to me like I'm younger than them. And I know, you say you experienced this all the time. Dudes, all the time, I'm older than you and you just don't think that, right. Yeah, And and he's one of those guys. Well it seems that way.
You know.
I never hung out with him, but it seems that way from what we've seen and what we know of Pete Carroll. So maybe that works out great for the Raiders. And what a division now AFC WES is stacked with coaches. Now we'll talk more about that. But there's another fun story I wanted to get to before weekend hobnobbing, and we got five on it on our Friday Fun. There's a story about and it's so random. Devin Hani, Devin the Dream Hani. Now there's a two part story. He's actually in the news this week Dala Hoyas calling him out, him and his dad being like the worst tandem in boxing. And you know he also signed a deal this week to fight in May against Jose Ramirez, a former champion, and Ryan Garcia going to be on the same card with Roly Romero. So Turkey Ala Sheikha's excellency is making that fight happen. And for Devin Haney to get the rematch with Ryan Garcia, he has to beat Ramirez and Josier Ramirez is no punk.
We've interviewed Jose, former champ.
Like we said, so, Devin Haney in the news because he is getting that opportunity and that is a pretty good fight card for the for the real fight fan. But if you want to know the real reason Devin Haney's name is anywhere today, oh a Wallpop is because he called out Sylvester Stallone, Rocky meltmoa.
So don't act like he's in the news because he's fighting Ramirez.
No, no, no, he's in the news because he called out Balmo said he's in the news for multiple things this week, right, so that happened this week. But he also called out Slice the loone, So what happened slides on social media? I believe this was from I don't know if it's a random social media clip. I think it's from one of his documentaries because I feel like I've seen him do this or say this before. But you know how he goes into his rants and like, yo, these are like, you know, would you tell you what is it you said to the kid? Life is not likego sunshine rainbows, you know, like you gotta get up, you gotta get tough, kid. You know how he just can't see all his rants. He starts talking about like an, these are the boxing gloves I used to use back in the day. These are rares boxing gloves, And you know why, he's like, you know, they're they're a lot lighter than gloves today because quite frankly, we used to be a.
Lot tougher back right. Look, if you want to take a listen, here you go.
They don't even allow these today because they're so dangerous, but that's what they used when I did the film. They're barely six ounces. They're rays and they're literally lethal. So I still have them because it's a time when people were tougher, sorry they were. Life is just getting a little easier and easier and easier. And oh that's great, it's wonderful, but it's not. I think when we force ourselves into tough situations, that's what the human creature is supposed to do.
And what is it that you're teaching the kid when you make lives easy? You know, life is supposed to be struggles. Absolutely, So he's doing his whole Rocky thing about how people were tougher back the day. And look at the boxing gloves we used to use. These are the ones I used in Rocky.
That's all. He's just prideful of all his memorabilia.
Devin Haney goes to social media and he goes, dude, don't know a left hook from a fish hook, and got the nerve to speak on times being easier in boxing, like he wasn't just an actor, but he them Rocky movies wasn't real?
How dare you actually?
I didn't see stallone reply, but he's a fight fan, so I'm sure he saw it. By now there, you know, I was just like talking about the movie. Absolutely, but he got so much backlash Devin Haney, right, because there's so many Rocky fans out there, and there's some of haters of Devin Hanes and who doesn't love Stallone, right, so he doesn't love Stallone. That Devin Haney did, I just got to give him credit. He did respond back and say, Sylvester Stallone is a legend and I have nothing but love for the whole Rocky series. Just because he didn't want that heat. He gets enough heat, but he did come at Stallone. But it does make you wonder Stallone. He's done nine movies. He always includes professionals in all of his movies. Former athletes are pretty standard in all of his movies. He's got fighters in the expendables, UFC fighters in the expendables, he's got real boxers, and all the Rocky movies, he's got choreographers.
You know he's a fan.
Rocky was inspired by a Muhammad Ali Chuck Wepner fight. He watched, he was there. He's been a lifelong fan. You don't think Rocky or Sylvester Stallone, I should say has a pretty decent general knowledge of the fight game.
I do.
I listen.
I have a crazy take on this. Yeah, I've been a mo fights than anybody.
Absolutely.
I think if you play a fake version of something long enough, you're almost that. I bet you mu riska hargatea right is a better detective law and honor dunt dunt then anyone that's not like an established detective. I bet you if you play a lawyer on a TV show for a decade, if you're a if you're playing a lawyer for years, you probably.
Know more than anyone except an actual lawyer.
Like if you fail and you're like, oh, I'm having a heart attack, do you rather nobody try to help you? Or someone that played a doctor on TV for years. I'm not saying it's as good, but it's better. I bet just st alone knows so much more about boxing than the average guy than the average actor percent of people.
Yeah, what if the actor rich just played that role in one big movie and they studied for it for that one film? Like, would you want Joe PESHI, you know, representing you in court?
How about this though? Like how much training did John Wick? Did Keanu Reeves do for John Wick? I'm not saying he could be an assassin of sorts. But the videos, Yeah, there's videos and stories about the extent, the extensive training that the guy did just to appear credible in that movie.
So again, I hear what Rich is saying.
But to back up Sylvester Stallone, Look, I know he wasn't a professional fighter, and I'm not saying he could have been, But I'm saying, I'm sure he knows a lot more than the average guy. I'm going to the average fight fan, I'm going more than you, because I feel when you dive into a character, you do end up knowing more than ninety nine point nine percent. I mean of people you mentioned, some lawyers and some doctors, there's no doubt about that they could pretend better than anyone else. They would know the jargon, they would know how to speak in that way where it would be convincing. Would I let George Clooney slice me open? No, but I would feel like he'd be able to pretend pretty well and put me at ease that he knew what he was talking about.
In our business, we've all known DJs who have pretended to be the program director for ten years.
Absolutely, yeah, they've always forgetted it.
Guys on these shows a lot like Law and Order, SUV SUV SVU TV Law and Order, whether the firefighting shows whatever. They usually have professional consultants on set to like, like people who really worked in the real world to give them advice, like make this more realistic.
Mark Paul Gossler, who's a friend of the show, Zach Morris, you know we've known Mark over the years.
And Mario Lopez a c slater, what's up, preppy?
But he said when he was on that Fox show that only lasted like a season. Remember Pitch the Female baseball Pitcher. Yeah, I thought that was an entertaining show.
I liked it.
Mark Paul not a baseball player, and they worked extensively, extensively with him with professional athletes making shore like dude, your fundamentals, your your mechanics are off. You end up learning more than you'd think. Like I was, Sam's right. If it's a firefighting movie, they got legit firefighters on set being like, no, no, you're holding the fire learning from the real people. That's not to undermine the real people that do this stuff, but when they're playing these roles, they're learning a lot of the times. Most of the time they're learning from people that actually do it. There's a professional on set. Another example Rich along with your Mark Pole Gossler one a famous one is the Charlie Sheen in Major League. How his fundamentals were improved from you know, just being able to throw hard to wow, he may be able to pitch at a decent level if he stuck with it. He was thrown in the high eighties at the time, and this is before people were throwing one hundred and eight miles per hour, you know, throwing a high eighties nineties. That was a big deal back then. So you know, I don't want to say that Stallone is the be all end all, but I think for Haney to come at him like that was a little awkward. I think Stallone knows a lot about boxing, so especially after nine movies about professional boxing. The secondary question I have for you guys is if you had to the question is I could fake the funk doing blank?
Right?
Like? Do you think that if you dove into a profession that you knew nothing about, but you had, you know, the ability to learn it for a little bit like I I I think that if you That's why I think these actors, the acting is really the lone and best example of how if you play someone long enough, you think Jim Carreen could have been a weather man or an actual pet detective.
I mean, this is a really this is a big time stretch.
But if someone that played or a lawyer, if someone that played a pilot in a movie series or a show like a military show or something, you don't think like, I'm not saying they could fly a plane tomorrow, but if the pilot was like oh dies and like want that guy over, someone on the plane could do someone on the plane know how to fly a play and the pilot DIEDIOLT.
But I played one on TV?
Well good enough, But I think the one that played one on TV is your best candidate. He would know a little.
Little Be clear, we're not saying these actors no the job.
What Rich is saying is he would know a little more than the regular average fellow just sitting there.
And I actually do agree with that. You know what this reminds me.
I wouldn't feel safe if we were in a plane, if we were to play in the pilot and co pilot, you know, both passed out, like who could fly? This is playing and it was Iowa Sam or Tom Hanks who played Sully.
I would.
Tom ex could do anything though, That's that's the great thing. But a lot of and like like you said Keanu earlier, a lot of these actors do go on if they're in such a big project to learn that. Like I know, Tom Cruise is a helicopter pilot.
Uh.
John Travolta is a actual pilot and a great dancer and a great dancer.
But Santa Claus great.
Yeah, they go on for it. Also flying, yeah, pilot film.
Yeah, he crashed one of his planes like six seven years ago and stumbled.
Life imitates already imitates life when you when you are an actor, And it sounds stupid because not everyone takes it as serious as as other actors, But they do develop a lot of skills. And you look at an actor's resume, they'll have it listed out all the things they're kind of capable of because they've been trained or they learned for other parts. So to say that stallone doesn't know a little something about boxing and the training involved, and all the professionals he's worked with and fought against, right, he fought Mason the Line Dixon, Right, these are professional boxers. You know, he knows more than the average person. I think that's why Devin Haney almost pulled back his original dish of Stallone by saying, you don't know the difference between a left hook and a fish hook, because I think everyone went at Haney like, yo, Stallone's been a fight fan, part of the fight game, and while not a real fighter, he's synonymous with boxing that he knows way more than just some rando fan, and he would always incorporate the real dudes in his movies. The Jim Lampleys already mentioned Antone Ol Tarvor. You know, there was always some sort of professional element that he would try to bring into those movies. So it was a little bit of a out of nowhere disrespect because Stallone is sort of grandfathered in. Here's another reason why I thought so as to at least be given some sort of respect in that world. You know how many fighters he inspired to actually get in the ring. You know how many fighters probably saw that movie or saw one of the movies and was like, yo, I think I want to do You know how many box shows have you think trained to the rocky sound time. That's what I'm saying, Like for him to come at stallone was weird.
And that's why I'm telling you, that's why he backpeddled quite a bit.
You know, what's the worst in a movie? A boxing league? What's the worst choreography you've ever seen in a boxing Well, that's a good one.
Let me think about that.
You know, most of them are pretty decent, like even the old even the old Rockies are pretty kind of weak when you and you watch them from today's standards, like the one with Jake Chillenhall.
Which one was that I was actually pretty good?
Yeah, it was really good, Like they've come a long way from then, is what I'm saying. But the worst, if you, by the way, if you had to get probably the one with Jerry. You ever see Jerry Lewis in the ring when he's in the ring? You ever see that up?
Did you ever?
If you had to get in a race car, Yeah, like a if you go to get in a street race and it was like Joe Schmoe or someone from Vest and the Furious, are you.
Just are you just being like all right?
I guess I'm would have been Diesel because he just a little more little.
All right, So Mark Wahlberg and Boogie Knights.
If I had to become an exotic answer, I, here's what we'll do.
We're gonna put this to the test.
We may even interview a few actors at super Bowl on Super Bowl Week, right, because you never know who stops by Radio Row super Bowl Week in New Orleans as part of our questioning if they're an entertainer or an actor, because most of the people that stopped by are NFL players, football players, and athletes. But if we have an actor on the show, we gotta ask what what random skills do you have that you could fake it, that you could fake it enough because you've played so many different roles, so many different parts. And to answer I was Sam's question, the worst choreography in sports?
He said, in a fight, But it can it can go out to all sports.
There are some football.
Movies too, there's a famous scene and baseball movies there's a famous scene that gets ripped apart. People are in stitches laughing. There's like a high school girls basketball scene where the girl travels and the time clock is like shot cock's like five four and then there's still like twenty seconds left in her little movements.
Oh yeah, oh, I gotta find out what show it's from.
But that about this And in the movie Teen Wolf, I saw this speculator before. Yeah, I mean it's it's Michael J. Fox and he's a wolf. So you have to like, you know, leave your brain at the door anyway.
Right.
So, but there's a scene where he's taking the foul shots right you know, at the end throws and yeah, he's doing free throws and his nemesis is standing right in front of him, like.
Just looking at him, like.
Under no circumstance in any game is the pla. You're like, yeah, that's probably he's across from him.
He's the human wall at the Clippers and New Arena.
He's like mean mugging him from across the way. It's like, that's not allowed. Most actors act out whatever they're known for before any other average person, because, no doubt most of them, no more than the average fella, because they've played that role for so long. Have you played an astronaut in the movie, I rather you. That's not necessarily what I'm saying. But I don't necessarily disagree with you either. I don't I don't disagree with what's that stupid movie about the Bob Sled Team. Yeah, those actors way better than any other person.
What a random attempting a Bob Sled And.
I'm just saying that's extreme, saying astronauts maybe because the stunt actor still better. But they don't know. The actor doesn't know what all the buttons and everything are for. There's no Kevin Bacon, Tom Hanks and Daily Departed Bill Paxton. I don't know if they could get us to the moon emerge and see situation. Rich is saying that they would.
Still maybe know a little more than most people because they studied it, at least for a little while, spots into all those law and honor and criminal minds and all that. You don't think those actors would be a little better at solving a crime than the average Joshman Michael C. Hall?
You think he's U blood spatter dexter. Michael C. Hall could probably cut someone up.
Yeah, if doing a physical act is one thing. But I think like saw, like having those skills, like the you know, the processing a crime scene and being like, oh, look for this, because you've said it so many times, eventually it would come back. But I would never trust somebody to like know the inner workings of my body. They can start cutting me open.
Get a lot of reps.
Not in surgery.
This is ridiculous, Like maybe maybe like an incision, but anything beyond that.
Now what we're talking about in an emergency.
But we'll take your phone calls to wrap it up, Devin Haney said in regards to Stallone's and like you we were like tougher back then. You know, these are the gloves we used in Rocky. Absolutely, Devin Haney says, dude don't know a left hook from a fish hook and got the nerve to speak on times being easier in boxing, like he wasn't just an actor, buddy. Then Rocky Movies wasn't real.
I get it, but.
Everyone was probably like, yo, f you, Devin Haney. We love Rocky, Rocky, Rolls, Creed and then every then Devin Haney's like, I'm sorry.
Nothing but respect.
He did respond after, So we're just going to your phone calls based on that. Just having fun on a Friday Cavino and reach a seven seven ninety nine on Fox and we still got to do we got five on it. In regards to the games this weekend and weekend hobnab say what's up to Andy and Rhode Island? Hey, Hey, hey, what's up buddy?
He's trying to get on it. I will say, I just want to start off by say thanks for the honorary swigging it. It's beautiful. I can't ran by my side and and you know, and you know, it's actually honored to have a rule named after me because you know, I'm always bringing it when I call, so you know, shout out to Andy rule.
Also, yeah, a buyer came up with that.
So if I'm gonna say, if it doesn't act that, I feel that I was probably trusted and possibly doing something, you know, on the day to day, I'm probably gonna have to go with Liam Neeson. You know, if I need him to figure something, not finda missal person. I know he's the guy.
I will find it man, and I will kill you.
Don't think, gleam these you can find someone better than you.
Okay.
So I wouldn't trust like George Clooney to cut me open and take a tumor out of my body. But like Sandra Bullock when she was on the set of Speed, she learned how to drive a big bus like that, I would trust her to operate a bus, give me around l a safe. Oh yeah, but she had to drive the thing. She actually learned, like got certified driving a huge bus like that.
I would trust her to do that.
I would.
I would trust Sandra Bullock for sure, over some random person to drive a bus. Then I'm gonna give I'm gonna give this guy another shout out, two shout outs to one show. If I needed somebody whacked, I would definitely feel like Pauli.
Walnuts could get it there.
Oh yeah.
In fact, he did all that in real life.
I'm not saying he whacked people, but he was a mafia guy before he got into the soprano.
Danny trey Hoe had some trouble parts of his life before he became an actor.
Oh you know, sometimes it's not that far off, is what we're saying. Not that far off.
And because they bring in experts, the experts are teaching learn from the experts. Again, I'm not saying these people could do it effectively, but I'm saying, if I'm in a life or death situation and there's two people in front of me and ones I don't know, random guy, you know you met a Chipotle, and the other person is someone who played a doctor on TV. I'm taking the guy who played a doctor on TV, Big burt En George, what's up, hey.
Thank you for take a call.
Man.
I just want to speak on the whole Rocky thing.
Hey, no disrespect.
I loved her from White Man Can Jump.
But if they got Rosie Perez commentating fights, I think Rocky can speak on a couple of things on these fights here.
Yeah, funny true.
And for the record, though she's a lifelong fan, but I feel you on that and her voice is oh well. For people that don't know that Rosie Press has always been incorporated into the fight world, they're probably like, why.
Is she on the Why Rosie Press?
So many people are scratching their heads when they see that. For sure, Josh rappedus in Ohio. What's up buddy, Hey Josh?
Happy Friday, guys. First, I just want to send some love to California. I had a house fire on Christmas Day two thousand and seven, so I just want to say the soot and that's burn and smell, they do go away. So my brother is a mechanic, But if I'm going to restore a hot rod, I'm calling Tim Allen aka Tim the.
Right.
I mean, he has to know a little more than the regular guy. That's all we're saying. It's really not that big of a deal. I don't think it's that crazy of a thought. So silly thought, but I don't think it's that crazy. He's from Detroit originally, Tim Allen. I think he probably knows something about cars. I think that show Home Improvement was a little based off his life. No, you know, And I get a little defensive with this, And I'll tell you why, because sometimes I'll say I'm at the barbershop and I get the vibe of someone saying to me, what do you know? It's not hey, because I talk about it on Fox Sports Radio every day. That's not why I think I may know. It's because I've heard or I've learned from people greater than me. You know, I actually talked to Clay Matthews today. That's why I know. That's how I know, right, or Hey, man, I actually because I talk to Dan Bayer every day, and the guy knows what he's talking about.
That's why I know.
So you don't think these actors who are learning from actual professionals know a little more.
I think they do. Yeah, I agree, So team Rocky on this one.
Yeah, like absolutely, all right, we got a lot of NFL to get to for the rest of the show. But let's kick it to dB. Speaking of the guy that gives you credibility, what's up, Dan?
I will say, I don't even know.
If the tool Man would be the first guy calling that show, i'd call al Borland right, Yes, Yes, he'd be the first one I would call.
Yeah, I think he's legitimately a tool guy.
He's the guy.
Yes, Pete Carroll's the guy in Las Vegas.
You're my favorite TOOLI with Sam.
Seventy three year old gonna be the head coach of the Raiders on a three year deal with an option for a fourth. When he coaches a game this fall, he'll be the oldest whoever coach the game as a head coach in the National Football League. Jaguars finalized their deal to make Liam Cohen their head coach. Well, the Texans and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowick parted ways after two seasons. The Lions are keeping offensive line coach Hank Frayley. He gets promoted to run game coordinator.
Are you ready to put some money on it.
Rich, Let's do it because I got five on We got five on it.
Because we're all getting involved.
Do it.
Conference Championship weekend, two big ones on Sunday. We're going to go around the room and each get to give our two 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 gonna win a swiggy and participate with us in the picks. Gerald in West Kentucky, Gerald, What up?
Jerald?
What's happening?
What's happening?
Met Gerald's Game? Can you know?
Watch that movie and you can't stop raving about it? On Harrold'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. Yeah, yes, yes, 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. Now, there's two games, so I don't want to throw you guys for any loop the loop.
But since it's only two games.
You're gonna put five oh on it.
Yeah, let's put fifth. Let's do five oh on it and the five ow it. How about this.
Too, Let's throw over unders in there just for the hell of it. That makes it four best.
All right?
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 forward to Bill's Chiefs.
But Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles are favored by six, the over under forty seven and a half. Eagles by six, forty seven and a half. Cavino h before Beauty go ahead, Speaking of Rocky and Apollo, what do you take the Commanders plus six?
Huh?
And I'm going with the over because I mean they were scoring points like it was nobody's business.
That last came.
Yeah, anything it happened with Saquon on one side, Daydon Daniels on the other.
Yeah, I'll go with that for the fun of it.
Twenty eight twenty eight, twenty one, twenty eight twenty four, twenty eight twenty four wins you the bet. Twenty eight twenty one does not win you the bet. But yeah, I just think, you know, we talked to Clay Matthews today about momentum. They both have momentum, so I think the over's 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. Before I make my choice, Dann Bayer, what's the weather looking like in Philadelphia on Sunday? Do you have that off the top of your head or no? No, okay, I'll I see thirty eight degrees here, thirty eight degrees and partly cloudy.
That's what I'm seeing in the little the little tiny info thing.
On my website.
I did have the Kansas City when I didn't look.
Up to well.
With that said, dB, you're up next if you want in what do you What do you think?
Guys?
You know I'm a Cavino guy, so I like what Covino's cooking there. Commanders plus six nice, 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.
Well, there you go, dB and Cavino on the same page, Commanders and the Over. And I don't want to rap already said that, but I'm I'm going Commanders and the over as well. Ok, I really am for three anyway? I feel you on your explanation was sot of what I was thinking. So I'm not going to just be a conchrarian for the hell of it. We could go fast here. It's exactly what I wrote down. Man, 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 lose thirty six thirty three?
See what spot in Iowa? Sam and Gerald think.
Yeah, what do you think?
I'm going to take the commanders because I think there it's their time. But I'm going to take the under. Okay, I think they're going to cancel each other out, and I think it's gonna.
Be a little defensive battle in the first half of you a little little nerves, Gerald.
What do you think, Buddy?
Well, I hate to pile a loan, but I gotta go Commanders and over. But I would be willing to go money line if I get to Mike, you know, some more money out of it.
Commander's money line, why not?
Right?
So if you like the Commanders, some people saying why not go command there's money line? Then all right, Gerald, Covino, 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, I think.
So is that what everyone else picked? We're all going Commander's over except for Spotty on the under. Yep, wow, look at that. All right, let's move on to the Sunday game game too, same game two AFC battle.
Now we could ask about the weather on that one.
Yeah, Bill's cheap. What is the weather report? Dan Fire?
Yeah, mid it's a low thirties creeping into the upper twenties.
No precipitation expected.
So it's a really just good playoff weather in January, typical chilli crisp, cold football weather where you're long John's you know, Danny G.
Let's go with you start off?
Do we like? It's Buffalo at Kansas City? As we all know, Chiefs by two, Chiefs by two. No. I was seeing that at one and a half earlier, and we got over under forty eight and a half. Pretty similar.
Just one more point, all right, I'm going to go under on the points, okay, and because I like the Chiefs defense, but I'm going to say the Bills and Mahomes run here.
No threepeat for you, mister, Yeah, 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 Bills 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 thirty or forty anymore. It's not like mahomes fifty touchdown season. So I sort of like the Bills in the under here we got five oh, on it now since we got five oh on it. Yeah, I'll never bet against Mahomes. Yeah, So I'm going with Chiefs on this one. Look, they found a way to just beat everybody, right, just beat there. 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 them. 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, Okay, Dan Byer, I.
Feel like 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 Bills 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 has gotten me concerned if I'm cheering for the Bills of 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, I don't I think.
Uh, I think so far we're all very much in agreement, Spotty.
Let's go to you.
I'll be in disagreement again. I like the I want to I want you know what, it's a want. Yeah, I want the Bills to win. I do, but I'm going to take the over. I think it's going to be a Chiefs in the over.
But Bills.
Do you want Bills in the over? Yeah?
You still want I want the Bills that the Bills will win. Oh, you're willing them to win. I'm willing them to win, and I'm taking the over.
You're billing them to win? Gerald, what do you think of my friend?
I'm not betting the guests my homes. I'm sorry. Yeah, I think it's going to be a gun fest. And so I'm taking the over.
Nice.
Nice And I was Sam, but you left here.
What I am?
I picked the Bills to be in the super Bowl, so I'm gonna stick with that. Bills win outright, and I'm taking it. So I'm with Spott here. I'm taking the over and the Bills to win.
There you go, all right? There you have it, Rich, I got five What.
A nice Sunday coming up? Yeah?
Oh my god, I'm just thinking about Josh Allen's path Hereike, what an awesome path if he were to continue on here.
You know 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 maho. So, you know, if Josh Allen were to beat Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes and then go to the Super Bowl and beat Jalen Hurts and Saquon that would be insane, you know, and Bonnicks don't forget.
That's really impressive.
It feels like a special season for Josh Allen. And by the way, really quick, thank you Gerald in West Kentucky. Heybody, hang on the line there. We're gonna ship off a swiggy to you.
Nice.
I got something for rich Jason who uh weather man in Montana listening to the network. I was listening to the show in this that 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.
Wow.
Yes, 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 weol 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 because right the Bills will have faced the Giants the Norwood year against the Redskins back in the day.
And your forty nine Ers would need one team to close out the AFC West that it would be Danny's Raiders.
That is true.
They beat the Chargers forty nine to twenty six, the Broncos fifty five to ten, and they're war twice to the Chiefs. So we shall see. Thank you guys for all playing along. I got tive on it.
You know.
Let us know at Covin 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 dad, who you know? Him and I like to gamble together. Yeah, and there seems to be a team. It seems to be a year where they play to their competition. Yeah, it's the Bills are gonna I don't force the Chiefs to step up, and they're gonna step up and pull it out. 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. He this is in the twenty tens. My Dad's like, if you bet against Tom Brady and you lose, you're just a fool, right, you know, like it's a you bet against Tom, it's like that's Mahomes.
Then then like you almost deserve it.
It's like when you bet on a real trash team to cover a lot of points and then they lose by twenty You're like, well, what was I doing betting on you know, a two and fourteen team or something?
So can I I was just looking at TMZ this is. It's very sad news, but it could sway the game one way or the other emotion wise. Emotionwise, I saw this sad, sad stuff. Patrick Mahomes's grandfather isn't hospice, so that means he has probably days left to live. So that's that could be something that either gets behind him, do you know, do it for grandpa?
Or that could distract him for Johnny rule.
We talked about that, Johnny, 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 uh probably emotional highs and lows in his personal life.
So we shall see, the folks, we'll see.
Do you guys miss that the Lions aren't still playing? Yes?
Yeah, there's a part of me that thought like, especially since I had them going the distance. I mean, yeah, listen, Washington's a cool story. You know what it is. I feel like I'll give you a boxing analogae when Canelo Alvarez fought Floyd Mayweather. He fought him too young, and you knew that Mayweather was just gonna win. That's how I feel about I want you know, the Commanders. I feel like, yah, 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.
I also have a theory that guys like you and Rich You are a little bit younger than me and Covino, but I think we're all in the in the ballpark and throw Danny spot in there as well. We remember when Washington was good. Yeah, we remember when they were winning Super Bowls and they were a competitor in the NFC and they were a contender. Dust Williams, yes, Mark Rip, even Jemsies 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 thirty years, you know between super Bowls, like there's a reason that there's a drought. But as a fan in the age that we are, we do remember a time when Washington.
Was successful and you 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 eighties or nineties, you know, Niners, Cowboys, Redskins, Giants. There were the 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 nineties, those teams have all been on a major draft.
But in our mind, ah, they're dynasties.
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 nineties. Oh yeah, you know, because all I knew of them. I wasn't old enough to remember early eighties, but then there was no Yankees for you know.
Went from what eighty one to ninety six?
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, darna the Yankees, you know.
Right, damn by the perception of years, I know, I sound like I'm a guys. I have not had an edible I promise no I thought that time. No, I sound like it's a it's a like a high thought, but.
Like time bro right time.
No.
But when you think of the Yankees this past year making the World Series, in your mind, it fell like, oh the Yankees again again was nine fifteen?
Again was oh nine.
So that's the difference of when they played the Dodgers in the early eighties and the Braves in ninety six. Sure, so the gap between nineteen eighties eighty one Yankees Dodgers to the ninety six Joe Tory Jeter Yankees is the same difference of the nine A Rod Jeter till now.
But they weren't even really making the They weren't making the playoffs in the eighties.
A different format, different format, but didn't mean it in ninety five what mattingly remember, But yeah, man, I feel you.
And really quick Kovino back to Rich's growing up about Jaden Daniels being too young. We heard a lot about that last weekend. His rookie, his great rookie run is going to end here. But he plays with such calm composure. He's so poised, he does not look like a rookie.
And he's having fun out. Yeah, and he doesn't make barely any mistakes. Yeah, I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see it. I think I get what Dan's saying, and I understand where he's coming from completely. But yeah, if he plays the way he played last week, Yeah, it'll be NFL history.
That'd be crazy if it ends up, which likely the odds in Vegas would be, this is the fourth likeliest outcome. You're 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 great as it would to see a rookie win the Super Bowl. I would still be rooting for the Bills there, you know, to win one, I think after everything we've seen in the nineties. So all right, your thoughts and as we said on over Promise yesterday. Did you guys see the story that Thurman, Thomas, Jim Kelly and all the old school Bills said that they would jump through tables with the Bills mafia if the Bills win. One thing I didn't say on over Promise, and you could watch it on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page, Episode seventy seven are Bonus pod you listen, you could watch. I really hope they wouldn't. They would break a hip and it would be horrible to watch Thomas broke his hip. I would not want to see any of those dudes jumping into folding tables if they won, because he said they jump in four times if they won. Didn't he say that? No, I'd hate to see that. Covino and Rich and now is time for this week's Pro the Week and the Express pros man Danny g was really slapping Sam's ass pretty hard.
Now that was my bear belly.
Oh.
Express Pro Pro the Week goes to Anthony David Lakers Beach of Celtics. By twenty one, AD had a night even though Dwight Howard's calling him out. AD had a night with twenty four points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three points and congres steal. Oh it was the three oh, I'm sorry three steals. Congrats to Ad for being our express pro pro of the week, which Davis had three points, Rich had three points. He had twenty four points, eight rebounds, three assist, three steals. So congrats again to Ad and Danny G's Lakers beating the Celtics.
Dude, I even surprised me. I tuned in in the fourth quarter and I was like, say, what.
Now, what, what's the book?
And some Celtic as like it's uh, you know, like the Kobe and Check days.
That was definitely the Lakers' best winner of the season.
No doubt.
I want to get into it.

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.
