You know, the more we think about it here in the studio, a GM trying to figure out what to do with the quarterback position is very much like dating as a single guy in your thirties or forties.

Yeah they look good. There's a lot of potential, but they're young.

Yeah they look good. There's a lot of potential, but they're young.

All right, Then if you're single and out there and about there, do you want a woman your age? She comes with a lot, she's in her own ways. Can't teach an old dog new tricks, right, she's only got a few good years left. Like we said, Oh look at you, mister Vane. I'm being real about her this right, it's a good analogs for you. So you'd want someone there, somewhere in the middle, with experience, but not too old, not going to be a pain in the ass, established somewhat already. You know, that middle ground person who just needs another shot might be the best angle.

Meaning is Baker Mayfield?

Meaning is Baker Mayfield?

I think in the past we've been really quick to write off quarterbacks who've been in really crappy situations. But Baker, Sam Darnold, Gino Smith, Is it just happened to be coincidence that they're all sort of working out with a new shot. I'm going to go back to the one that we were talking about a few minutes ago. If you're the forty nine ers and you have the lightest schedule on Planet Earth for twenty twenty five. I said it before. The toughest team on their schedule is the Houston Texans. Honestly, look up the Niner schedule. It is Vegas will set it at twelve and a half. I bet over under wins if you don't want to pay Brock Purty fifty sixty million dollars. If you don't, I feel like they will. I do as a Niners fan out. I feel like John Lynch and Shanahan are committed to Purty. But if you didn't want to, you drafted a young quarterback and picked up Aaron Rodgers on a one year deal. Put Aaron Rodgers on his childhood favorite team, the forty nine Ers, the team he thought he should have been on twenty years ago. If you put Aaron Rodgers with Debo Kittle, McCaffrey, ayyuk Us check, you know, big Trent blocking on the left side, you you don't think Aaron Rodgers could have one last shot at glory. A guy that we thought stunked the last few years for the Jets based on what we saw. I would say no to that. I just feel like he did lose a step. Maybe he played a little cautious because of the injury. The year one off a big injury, year one off of an injury. But you don't get better as you get older like that man off an injury like that. I just I wouldn't do it. But I understand what you're saying. You want to win now, so you might want to take that chance. I would take that chance with a Cousins, a guy like that. So anyway, your thoughts, so you think of Kirk Cousins, though for the forty nine Ers, man, I always had to putting over a Rogers because to me, Rogers looked really done this year.

Listen, you could say the same beck Cousins. At times.

Listen, you could say the same beck Cousins. At times.

I'm just saying I'm not bringing up the Niners solely because they're my team. It just says very few teams that are in a position to win maybe next year that don't have a set quarterback right now, you'd say party set, but he's you know, as Colin said a couple days back, it's party the type of guy you really think should get fifty to sixty million dollars. I remember Colin broke it down into three groups. The guys that like, hey, you gotta pay him. Then there's the guys where you're like, I'll take the phone call, we'll talk about it, probably, and then the guys, as he said, you hang up on. I as a Niners fan, I love rock Party. I think he's a fun young guy. I love his story a lot. I think he's a good dude. Probably he'll talk to him. But I don't think he should be getting fifty to sixty million. I said that Daniel Jones Baker Mayfield, like thirty forty something million is where he should be, but he's not going to take that by any means. So with that said, if you've been Niners, do you say one year of maybe a Kirk Cousins or an Aaron Rodgers and draft a quarterback to just throw into Shanahan's system. You know, I'm gonna go back to another Colin Cowhurt saying stars stars, stars attract other stars. They do, and there's a lot of star power on your forty nine ers, and maybe that will.

Attract in Aaron Rodgers.

Attract in Aaron Rodgers.

So to wrap it up, to wrap it up, I would say it's all about that middle ground person in life and on the field, That's where I would put my money. But again, it's an interesting conversation. What would you do? You make the calls? They used to say, So, if you're a GM, one of three paths, as you said, it's not easy to decide nowadays, veteran revamp, a guy who's had a couple of years of struggle, or maybe draft a quarterback too.

These college quarterbacks would be the equivalent to some social media girl dancing around in her bikini? Is that the girl you want to invest in? I know what you're saying, unless it's not, unless it's like the elite one. Yeah, it's enticing. You know, it looks good in the moment, but is that really where you're putting your money? If you're a GM, that's the equivalent. Yeah, so think about it. Yeah it looks good, but I don't know if that's the answer for your organization.

So he goes on and on and he talks about his bad experience and they made him go home or change his shoes. It was not allowed on the floor. Now, why do we bring this up? I thought I was cheap going to twenty four our fitness Planet. Fitness is like a rung below that. That's like the Spirit Airlines. If I said this guy was slaying it on social media, right, A lot of these dudes aren't getting paid. But I'm sure he's doing all right because he's flying Frontier but no uh soul plane.

It's worth bringing up because in the next few weeks, you're gonna see a lot of people at the gym, people you hadn't seen before. And I mentioned the broccoli Heads, the pack of boys and their official gym uniform of pajama pants, and it's always those checkered pajama pants.

I didn't even want to say it because it's politically incorrect. But they'd wear their tight tank top and crocs on their feet. Now, the question is do you find crocs to be okay at the gym? Can you wear crocs to the gym? I personally have a stance against them ever in life. I think they're the weakest looking shoe. But I lost this war because kids wear them all the time, right, But do you think they're okay to wear to the gym? Is the question? As you see all these new people for the next few weeks at the gym, I own.

Cardio or you're CrossFit guy, or you're doing Orange theory or something, unless you're doing intense workouts, If you're just the guy going to the gym, I'm gonna do arms and bench press today, I think he could wear crocs.

You get the stupid that would imply that you're wearing a stupid buckle on the back. Yeah, the strap? How lad is this sports mode? That means you're not really doing any cardio at all. That means you're not doing any legs at all. And I'm not saying I do. I'm just saying, what kind of workout are you really getting in your crocs? And you know, aside from esthetically being the weakest look ever crocs at the gym, okay or not? Let us know at eight seven seven for the herd, because I'm here to tell you it's not that's my stance. I think it's the weakest. It's not functional, it's not fashionable, it's nothing. It's nothing positive here crocs at the gym. I think your take his whack, all right, Well, but what do you care about someone wearing crocs. They're not wearing flip flops. That's dangerous. You could drop a weight on your foot or something. No, it is a liability. I would imagine that's why my Planet Fitness told them that they can't because some dudes at the gym. He's wearing crocs like an idiot, and he slides out of sports mode because you're being held together by a little rubber band, and he turns an ankle, rolls an ankle. Maybe he's on the treadmill or something. He's doing some cleans, he's doing a set of curls, he loses his balance, rolls an ankle, and now it's on the gym.

I'm more offended by people that were like jeans at the gym. And I know that's usually a guy that gets caught up at work and he's like, oh man, I forgot my shorts. I'm allowed to say this because I'm half Mexican, right, but it's usually like a foreign guy. You're right about that, right, he's wearing slacks.

You know, how many people wash their car in today's world, like five Now you need a hard day's work, Okay, you wash it, washing the car? You remember days of washing your car. They're few and far between. It's not as common as it used to be. Is my point that that just really doesn't happen as often as it used to. But I look at it this way too pun intended. I find it to be a slippery slope, because you wear your crocks to the gym, and then you're like, yeah, but I only wear them to the gym. Then you're wearing them to CVS. Then you're wearing them to the supermarket, Then you're wearing them out and you look like a clown, and I don't want to hang with you.

We also talked about all the incentives in the NFL Week eighteen, which brings up another conversation we're gonna have today about if life was incentive based, because I think Geno Smith and Mike Evans, among other players have a hell of a lot to play for Sunday. And something else we did on Over Promised. We tried the Kelsey Mix Cereal and we're talking to Danny g and music about this before the show. I wanted to hate it because I'm like, oh, the Kelsey's, they're everywhere. His wife's now got the number one podcast, you know, Jason's. The Kelsey's are in your face more than ever. So you sort of wanted to hate the cereal. What do you think? What do you think?

Yeah, there was sugar involved. How is rich not gonna like that?

Yeah, Danny, I thought there was no way the cinnamon toasty goodness would vibe with the peanut buttery Reese's mixed with the marshmallow eye greatness of Lucky Charms. I'm like, that's just too much going on. And at first it hits you and you taste the peanut butter, and then the cinnamon kicks and you're like, all right, this kind of sort of all compliments itself, and you're like, dang.

Yeah, honestly, And you don't even need to be drunker high to appreciate it. It was I had it yesterday morning in Mouth. You have to be drunker high to come up with the idea. And that's what makes you want to vomit, because you got these two goons who were probably high or one of their goofy college friends probably did this because they were running out of other cereal and other options. And then they pisched it to General Mills, and General Mills said, great idea, this is something your dumb college friend would do. Three random cereals. It's like the invention of the everything bagel. If people don't know that on Long Island, back of the day, a drunk bagel shop owner went with his buddies to the shop after hours, probably out of their behind, drunk or high or something, started dipping the bagels and all the remnants that had been used throughout the day.

You should hit my fat up. I got an extra TV the game game that I will have Rich's Big TV Game of the Week.

You should hit my fat up. I got an extra TV the game game that I will have Rich's Big TV Game of the Week.

It's Rich's Big TV Game of the Week.

It's Rich's Big TV Game of the Week.

Hey, Rich, you want to explain, well, I mean, because TVs are so damn cheap. And I say that respectfully to be honest. Truth is, you go to Walmart, Target, best Buy, anywhere. I saw like a sixty inch TV for under three hundred bucks, and I said, you know what, let me get a couple of TVs. Can I explain why them to my living room on I wheel them in and out on Sundays. It's not that everything else got more expensive and TV's got cheaper. You're just buying a screen. You're buying a monitor. There's no tuner in the things that you're buying. It's not necessarily a TV, it's just just a screen.

It's not necessarily a TV, it's just just a screen.

Who needs a tuner?

Who needs a tuner?

You're gonna tell you we're talking about not answering phone calls and texting. But I'm saying your TV why they're so cheap because they're just a monitor. At this point, that's really it. That's all you need, right pretty much smart TV. You got everything you need. So point is I wheel in the Big TV. So I have multiple TVs going on Sunday? What gets the big screen? Because the other TV has the four boxes for Sunday Ticket, my TV has the octobox. I can't watch Red Zone. My add is blazing too much. I would I would be pacing like a maniac. So this week is a rare week. I'm not saying I'm killing our segment, but there's nothing worthy of the Big TV except for Sunday Night Vikings. Lions is worthy of a conversation in itself. But every other game, I think, I know you want to watch Geno Smith simply based on the incentives he's playing for. Yeah, you're gonna see some of these players balling because of their incentives. Gino Smith is playing for six million dollars in incentive bonuses, so you know that's that's me, your money. You're gonna see some big numbers being put out. But every every game of interest to me, there's a rub. Mean, I'm like, oh, man, I want to watch Steelers Bengals, but it's on Saturday, so you don't need to be worried about other games. And the Bengals win and you'll be all excited, like, oh, Joe Burrow's got a chance, And then Kansas City sits the whole team and Denver will win and be in. And I think I think the sentiment is that we should all root for Carson Wentz. I'm sorry, Denver, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but if we root for the Chiefs to win.

Who do you rather see?

Who do you rather see?

And God, I don't want my friends and family in Colorado to hate on me. Sorry Bo Nicks, Sorry sorry Sean Payton. Who do you rather see? In Round one? Joe Burrow? I know the defense of Cincinnati's not great, but don't you want to see Joe Burrow sneak into the playoffs?

And God, I don't want my friends and family in Colorado to hate on me. Sorry Bo Nicks, Sorry sorry Sean Payton. Who do you rather see? In Round one? Joe Burrow? I know the defense of Cincinnati's not great, but don't you want to see Joe Burrow sneak into the playoffs?

Yes?

Yes?

Yeah, and he's earned it, So maybe one of those games you throw on the big TV on Sunday is Denver in Kansas City, and for some reason, you hope that Carson Wentz shows that you know, he still got the he's got the juice. So actually this is your segment rich, right, because you're the one with two TV's day brag about all the time, heals his TV and like he's the av guy in your junior high class. He's so proud of it. And I want to say, you use the entire day just to take down your Christmas decorations. Yeah, this is the Sunday you casually watch and you take down and you tell your wife or girlfriend that you choose them over football this week because starting next week when wild Card weekend kicks in, right, it could be wild bro Seriously, So my advice is you don't even need to wheel out your second TEAV. I take down your decorations, right, you picked the tree away all that stuff, and then you use your one TV for the Vikings Lions later on that night. Like in my opinion, you don't even need the second TV this week. So segment dead, no, But I think you go.

You know Bengal Steelers.

You know Bengal Steelers.

You know you could argue Steelers aren't going to necessarily play everyone, but I think it's fun to see what the Bengals could do. And again, any given Sunday, it's not like it's not like Denver is a shoeing, but they are favored by double digits because Andy Reid.

They are just resting.

They are just resting.

But hey, you never know, right, So the games in Denver, which is another advantage Broncos keep an eye on that one because it's the only game that would make any playoff scenario fun. And in the NFC South Falcons and the Bucks should both win easily, but the tiebreakers, you know, the Bucks you know are in if they win. So no real fun Week eighteen. But Sunday night, I want to go around the room. I don't want your prediction. I want who you want to win. Oh wow, because the Lions and Dan Campbell. That was like the feel good story of football in my opinion. Last year, they got caught up. You know, the Niners shouldn't have won that game NFC Championship. Detroit let that up away some decisions in the second half. I don't think the Lions have that likability factor this year. I want to see the Minnesota Vikings win the Vikings at Detroit potential Coaches of the Year.

Dude, there's so many ramifications here, so many great reasons to watch. I don't know, you know, I really do love you know what. My dad has ingrained in me to never kiss ass. Oh you think I'm kissing Askings the Busses a Vikings fan, But I was just gonna say, maybe it's in our best interest to kiss some ass and say.

We predicted Sam Donald and the Vikings on our Covino in Rich afternoon show prior to the season starting.

We predicted Sam Donald and the Vikings on our Covino in Rich afternoon show prior to the season starting.

It doesn't I think you could say, Anny, I think you could say I want the Vikings to win. And I love the fact that our boss is a fan, and I love the Sam Donald's story without hating on the Lions, you know what I mean. Like they're a great story. I like Dan Campbell, I'm like GoF I like that team. I like their fight. But there's something, there's a soft spot Rich that I have, honestly for the for the Viking story at Detroit, it would be cool to see them with I want the NFC to go through Minnesota as a Niners fan. When they mocked Fred Warner last week, I was like, I'm gonna rust Saint Frown. I loved you on Receiver, I loved watching you on Netflix. They the fact that they mocked my dude, Fred Warner a little bit, doing the whole limping thing. I'm like, you know, let's go Minnesota, Let's let's go Vikings. You could say that Detroits do Minnesota, that that organization has had some rough breaks in our lifetime, so due, and that's no hate on Detroit. I actually agree with rich and when when we agree is fact. So how about you, Musida, what do you who you called for?

Well, while you guys are sucking up to Colin and his Sam Darnel fandom and our boss Scott, who's the Vikings fan, I'm gonna stick with the team that everyone's always been on board with, and it's the kneecaps Detroit Lions, who have had to fight through the most injuries in the NFL. And that's right, that's the only reason. Yeah, So I'm I'm pulling for the Lions. I love the fact that this team got completely resurrected over the past two seasons and they're still overcoming all of these injuries, and yeah, count me in on Detroit.

Now there is there.

Now there is there.

There's definitely something to be said about how Vegas doesn't even have a feel for this game because it's Lions minus three two and a half in some places, which means it's just your home field field goal advantage. So I think this couldn't have lined up better. Now, again, the NFL would have definitely wanted every game to have some type of implication Week eighteen. It's still first time in recent history that I remember nothing really up for grips again except for this game, because this game determines the one seed going through Minnesota or Detroit, or you're a wildcard that has to go on the road next week. Yeah you're fifth. Now is it Week eighteen or Week eighteen? It depends. There's a lot of player incentives. We talked about it on our bonus podcast over Promise, but without a doubt, the big TV game of the week is Minnesota at Detroit. Who you pulling for? And by the way, Danny g we got the phones going, Yeah, so figured out the cow herd phones. It was in star mode SAR for some reason that didn't work. It didn't work for you guys. Joe in Pennsylvania. You're on the air.

Baker Mayfield took that team to the playoffs with that that he got them, like if I remember correct, like a game away from the AFC Championship he did. Baker was on the track and they saw this shine new toy and they thought Deshaun Watson was the answer. No, it was an apical example of the grass was greener and they made a bad decision, and now look at Baker.

Yeah, multiple choice, don't be screwed?

Yeah Yeah, get involved, Come on, Get involved, most interactive show on Fox Sports Radio. Now before we play Showtime Mahomes Trivia, before you get to weekend Hobnobbin, which is what to watch besides football, besides some NBA. There's a new dating show I want to talk about later during weekend, how dubbing They They've scraped the bottom of the barrel for this. There's a show where you have to be like stuck with your in laws on an island. Have you seen this? No, They've come up with every idea. So we'll get to all the dumb stuff you could watch this weekend. But I wanted to, you know, put a little bow on the conversation about the Yankees being a little, maybe not a little, a lot outdated free agency. There's still players out there in the mix. Polar Bear Pete Alonso is one of them. The market dictates what you're worth. I think he thought he was going to get a lot more Mets, Angels Yankees as a few teams, but they don't want to give polar Bear Pete any more than three or four years. Looks like he's running out of options too, right. And when you look at some of the free agents that were signed the Yankees, you know, you could argue that they lost one Soto, but they certainly I think how a lot of great, low risk, high reward players have forced them to make better moves.

Yeah, Goldschmidt, they got Williams in the bullpen now, And it got me thinking, because these poor guys now have to shave.

And I know you might say why they're making tens of millions of dollars? Who cares? But I looked around the room.

Let's say one, two, three, four, five, there's seven seven men working here now in the hallway. I saw Jay stew from the Gottlieb Show. I saw Big Mike, I saw a prefet. There's roughly ten people I saw in the last five minutes, all grown men, all with facial hair, that would all have to change their look if they played for the Yankees. So I ask you, is it the lamest rule in all of sports? In twenty twenty five when you see a guy like Paul Goldschmidt do you think this dude wants to shave every day you're in a slump, You're on the road one hundred and sixty two games every morning, waking up and shaving the like you who make sacrifices for things that you can about like and that could be your job, that could be your relationship. If your girlfriend says, you know, I really love you clean shaven, guess what, you're probably shaving your beard.

There's a reason I stopped wearing earrings.

My girlfriend was like, it's goll Is Paul Golshitt sleep with Brian Cashman. Yeah, but again, you make those sacrifices for your job or things you care about. It it's your priority, right Like when we worked on ESPN on TV. They didn't say I had to, but they recommended I take my ear rings off, And you know what, quite frankly, maybe I should have anyway, But because I was like, well, you know, I care about my job and I want to present the way the best way they want me to, I'll.

Take them off.

Take them off.

I think you should have took out the diamond studge you wear and put in a hanging Barry Bond's earring from the nineties that would have been the look. I should have wore a Lawrence Taylor one. Yeah, I had one I stand by. But my point is there's some compromise that maybe you have to make when you're making a ton of money and you're wearing the pinstripes. I know you you put no value in that. Neither did Juan Soto, but those are the rules and it's not that big of a deal. Young maybe that's part of the price you pay to play for the Yanks. But the younger generations fan, please let me let me say this good I do for the first time.

Agree.

Agree.

Maybe it's the feel of these younger players and times are changing more than ever, or maybe it's becoming such an international game that you know, that's a big ask to tell some young Dominican kid who has a sweet shape up and you know he's sort of known for having this look and he has the true decision beer that he takes a lot of pride in to all of a sudden shave that and not feel one hundred percent stepping into the batter's box. To me as a fan, now, I'm like, let this young dude feel his best. I want him to feel as confident as ever and that whole Devin Williams side of it made me think that there.

Has to be a compromise there.

Has to be a compromise there.

I don't think that the Yankee should completely change their rules because then you look like the two thousand and four Red Sox, like a bunch of hobos, right, who looked like a bunch of old homeless cowboys. I think that there's a compromise where you don't look like a cave man. You could still rock facial hair, but like it has to be groomed, you know what I mean. I think that's a fair adjustment. I think there's a compromise. You could say clean shaven is out, you could say dumb observation. But hey, it is that week, you know. I think it's time. It's it's the week where everyone's just start of chilling and doing nothing anyway. Probably a lot of people sitting on their butt, not back to work yet scratching their stubble as we speak, thinking, yeah, you know what if I had a shave every single day, that would be sort of a pain in the butt.
