But first, we be wronging out. Oh, man. We're going to pay tribute to TV legend we lost today. Talk a little bit about the art and love of a good sports bar in honor of George Wendt from Cheers, passed away at the age of 76. Fun fact about George Wint before we get into him.

He was like 30 during that show. Oh, yeah. Obviously, if he's 76 now, do the math. My goodness. He was younger, way younger than you are probably when he did Cheers. Duh, bears. But George, went is Jason Sadekis' uncle.

So thoughts going out to their families on a sad day. 76 apparently died peacefully in his sleep. That's late breaking news. But yeah, lots to get to on the show. Bill Belichick in the news. But hey, Sam, could there be a status change with him in Jordan? You'll have to hang tight for that because there's Velichick in news. There's rumors.

We'll do some multiple choice, but let's get into it. And like I was about to say, IOSAM, have Van McCoy, 1975, the hustle on standby? Because when we talk Juan Soto, we need to introduce him to what it actually means.

Oh, Jesus. Yeah, we're going to get into Juan Soto in a minute. And also, you know, a documentary comes out today. And it involves the most hated guy in sports moving forward. Rich Davis? His name is Brett Farb. Oh, that guy. We can talk about reputation changers.

So a lot of fun. You're going to want to hang out all show today with Kavino and Rich. But I do want to start the show with just a rando question for everyone in the room. Hey, Mary. Terrible actor. Terrible guy apparently. Hey, Mary. I sent you a picture of my dinky.

Stop it. So I want to talk about when we were kids compared to our kids now. Sure. Now, this is not a, you know, when we were younger, like we walked, you know, uphill both ways to school. I'm not trying to sound like an old-ass boomer. I'm a millennial gen X borderliner. Dude, Lee Boomer O'Sycin, out of this. Poor guy, right?

He must hate that. Who has it worse than Chris Berman and Boomer Assize? Than Chris Berman and Boomer Assize. And only Cairns, I would say. Any Karen out there is like, why me? What did I do? And the Chads. Chats too.

The Kyle's and Chats get a pretty rough right now. Yeah, but Boomer gets a lot of flack. Can we double check that Boomer's wife's name isn't Karen? Because that would have been the worst. Like, Boomer Assisian and Karen Assizeon. Karen Assayson. Oh. We invited Boomer and Karen to the party.

Oh, man. Who invited them? Why would you do that? I don't want to sell like a Boomer or Karen. Sorry, Assisans. But don't you feel like our kids... Her name is Cheryl. Oh, what a relief.

Thank God, Boomer. Don't you feel like our kids get to do things that we would have only dreamt of and they don't appreciate it? I mean, yes. The answer is absolutely. Absolutely, yes. I only bring this up. It'll be real quick because I do want to fight you about Juan Soto. But I never mentioned yesterday that Sunday at Dodger Stadium,

they do a really cool thing where the kids get to walk around the field, run the bases. Like it's a really beautiful event for the kids. Little League, pony ball, softball. The kids are invited. You got to show up way early, like 10.30, 11 a.m. for the 1 p.m. game. But you get to go on the field.

And I see my kids. And I'm like, guys, take this in. Your dad would have dreamt of this when I was a kid. Imagine being on the field at Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium in New York as a little boy. I have dreams about that now as an adult. Imagine stepping foot on Wrigley or walking past the green monster of Fenway. That's something you thought, I can never do that. You're right.

My daughter, who's 15 now, in junior high, I went on an East Coast road trip with her classmates. Yeah. They actually got to be on the field at Fenway and inside the scoreboard. I'm like, you spoiled brats. We went nowhere. I saw like Ben Franklin's bedroom or something. I went to some miserable museum when I was a kid.

I made a broom at some old, wait, you know where they stay in character? Yeah, yeah. Where Billy Madison went. Yeah, like some old town. Yeah. And we churned butter and we were going to make a broom today. That was my field trip. went to the Edison Museum or something.

That was the fun we had. You got to go to Fenway in D.C. and New York City, and you were there where they changed a scoreboard, this legendary field. Who ate all these lunches? I'm down. I'll tell you who was. That dang Sasquatch. Yeah, that's where we went.

I mean, listen. I'll turn this bus around. That's all on your precious field trip. I'm done bitching and complaining. I don't want the show to be complain-owned bitch, but I will say. But I will say, I'll end it by saying this. our field trips were making brooms at old-timey times. And like you said, like, here's Thomas Jefferson's chair.

Our kids are walking on the field at stadiums. I joke with my wife. I know we live in Southern California, but my kids have been to Disney multiple times. I went to Disney World for the first time when I was like 17. Yeah, Disney World is like a fantasy thought. Like, someday I'll go. Meanwhile, you grow up in L.A., especially.

Your kids been there before they were out of diapers. No doubt. And you're right, Rich. just to make it clear, though. Rich and I have been working in sports for a minute. And it took us to get a TV show on the Mets Network in New York City, S&Y. We had our own TV show, Kavino and Rich, home of all things New York sports. And that's the only way we got on the field ever.

And we were just there, like, looking around. It's not like we threw a first pitch or anything cool. We didn't take a jog around the outfield. We were just there and grateful and like thankful. These little nose pickers are there and they don't even know how to wipe their own butts. And they're on the field. Talk about spoiled, man. But you can only be happy for them.

I'm not mad at him. It's just wild to see the difference. Well, we're done sounding like boomers and Karens. It's not. It's just an observation. And I really do feel bad for any boomer out there. Who thought they had a cool nickname. Man.

You're so right. There's got to be a couple out there. You know how when there's like some Like Michael Bolton was a cool name Until that No Talent ass clown came and ruined it I feel that way when there's like some serial killer And you know there's other people with that name

Oh yeah that sucks Oh man Mike Myers had to be Mike Myers Not Michael Myers Right The comedian was like why How do you think O Sooner's fans feel They can't say boomer sooner

Right Because it's not cool No I'm just kidding Boomers There is a couple out there I will say where the guy, he's boomer and his wife is Karen, and they hate life. Dude, the story fizzled down, but it really didn't go away.

But that kid Carmelo Anthony, the killer, the track star, not the basketball player. If I was actual Carmelo Anthony, I'd be like, yo, it has nothing to do with me just to make it clear. But that was a big story recently. Give him a middle name like most murderers. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that was an unfortunate story. But again, yeah, that could happen to anybody.

Unfortunately, it's a boomer whose name is sort of ruined. Well, you ready to ready to put your dukes up? Sure. And I say that because I know where you're headed with this Juan Soto thing, because I just saw the headline on the Daily News today. It's a growing story, bro. You know what the headline was? What?

Juan Somo. Wow. One Soso. It's getting bad. You know what it's turning into like a snowball effect, right? It's just one of those things that people are starting. starting to pile on to. But I think Juan So Soto, so-so,

Juan Soto is giving us plenty of ammunition. That's the problem here. But I think we're just piling on this story because it's a juicy one. When you're paid $765 million, there's an expectation. And the least you could do is that dance by Van McCoy.

The least you could do is hustle. Dude, the hustle. Come on, Onsoto. Do I need to explain to you what it is? Can I tell you something? When I was eight years old, I played in a soccer league, Union Soccer League, Union, New Jersey, right? I was on the Rockets. Yeah.

I was a little kid. Regular Ronaldo over here. And I remember like, you know, mozian after the ball. And I'll never forget this. Oh, Kavino Messi? Yeah. No, but I was like, Mosian. And I remember my mom screaming the top of her lungs because she's a crazy.

he'd eat Mexican woman. Steven! Hustle! Hustle! I was so little, I didn't know what the word meant. I'm like, I started dancing. I started dancing. I was like, I knew the song. I didn't know what the word meant, but all the parents were yelling at me.

My mom kept screaming this word. I think I knew aggressive. I didn't know hustle. But if I didn't know, maybe there's a let. Maybe Soto needs to be explained. You would think that comes naturally. It costs nothing. It's the least he could do.

do. I know. And he's getting paid plentiful to run out a ball that goes off the wall. We're watching the replay now as we speak. Right off of Fenway where my little nose pick and spoiled daughter was. Off the wall, he's sitting there watching it. What

is going on? You don't need to be a baseball expert to have two eyeballs to notice the body language. The body language is off and it shouldn't be. I don't. That's the one thing that should be on par.

It's not even the batting average or lack of production. It's the body language, dude. I don't disagree. Okay. So how is it not a story then? I don't disagree that Juan Soto has had a Juan Soso start as a New York man. I'm a big Mets fan. The biggest Mets fan you know.

Yep. But to judge a man based on 60 days into a 15-year contract would be like starting a new job and on your first. week being like, man, I don't know if I like this place. The coffee machine doesn't have the coffee brew I like. And man, I got to get accustomed to this commute. You're getting paid that much money. You're getting paid to set the tone.

I know. And I think we're going to hit June, July, August. There's going to come a time where Juan Soto. Ooh. Oh, take a picture. Take a picture. I'm taking a picture of CBS Sports. I have a graphic of Juan Soto.

Get a spot. I'm going to miss it. Ah, I think I got it. Okay. because where he was last year with the Yankees and where he was or where he is now with the Mets, night and day. This time through 47 games with the Yankees 317. He's 246 now.

11 home runs last year, 8 home runs this year. 37 RBIs last year, 20 this year. Slugging 561 to 439. Not too shabby as far as slugging and on base percentage. But again, it's the hustle. It's the intangibles that he should be leaning into. Yeah, if he's trying to find a swing or even his confidence, the least he could do is lead by example with a positive attitude.

Not this whole hum attitude of, yeah, I hustle, I play hard. No, he's not. Anyone could see he's not. As a Mets fan, I'm not going to overreact, like the local New York media and the national media on podcasting TV radio. It's not overreacting. When you're the highest paid player in sports almost, 765, that's a pretty large number. I see you wrote it down in your sheet.

Highest paid player in baseball, it's not overreacting. That's the thing. I will say when Juan Soto is ripping and he has a month in June or July where he's doing the Soto shuffle in the batters box. I haven't seen it yet, 47 games in. And everyone's saying, there he is, there's the Soto we know. Why is you waiting to turn it on? Sometimes there's an adjustment period. The fight's getting late early.

We're into the, you know, before you know, you're 80 games in. You're like, where's the shuffle? I think part of the reason why, I'll give you this, I think part of the reason why it's a news story now, because two things lined up. Three things, pardon me. One, they lost two out of three against the cross-town Yankees. And that was symbolic of, oh, they're both really good this year,

but ooh, the Yankees got the best of them in the first series, right? But there was also speculation. Number two. Okay. In that series, he did show a big lack of hustle. And his body language was not of the almost cocky, fun to watch, like nodding at the pitcher, doing the like I said, the Soto Shuffle. All that was not exist in.

So body language, Mets lost, and simultaneously, take a look at the standings. The Phillies now have the best record in baseball. So because the Phillies are so hot, they're now a half a game ahead of the Mets. and the lack of hustle. What did I say? I said the minute the Mets are no longer cruising in first place, all lies on Soto. And now you're going to see people say,

well, you know, the Phillies? Where I do agree with Rich, and I want to make this clear, where I do agree with Rich is that Soto will turn it on because he's too good not to. He's just too good. Unless, of course, this pressure is too big for him, which I don't believe because he's a big game type of player.

I think he will turn it around. Off the air. On our Patreon, you were saying how, yeah, Francisco Lendor had a slow start his first year, too. That happens. I get it. Think of the guys on your team. Danny G. Put your thinking cap on as a Raiders fan, a Lakers fan, a Dodgers fan.

My thinking cap has a Raiders logo on. Danny's got a Travis Matthew thinking cap on foot. Danny, think of a player. And my example would be Francisco Linder when the Mets acquired him from Cleveland. It's a great example. When he was on the Indians, now the Guardians. He was a big game playoff player. Lindor was a big Met signing.

You know his first year, he had 20 home runs in bat at 2.30. And Met fans were like, yo, Lindorr stinks. We hate him. Get him out of here. Now, the last couple of years, he's an MVP candidate, second only to Otani and the NL. The Mets want to make him captain. Yeah, unofficial captain of the team, for sure. I mean, let's, you know, let's not overreact here. I do agree, Rich. Yeah.

But it's not an overreaction because of what he's paid and who he is and what's expected. And again, we're almost 50 games into the season, dude. So I don't think it's an overreaction. I just do believe he will turn it around. I don't like his attitude. I don't. And then when he's called out, you're forgetting this part of the story. He defends it. And it's like, what do you think? We're done. We can see it. And I hate to agree with Danny G's boy, because I rarely do. I love Ben Mallor's show. And I love Ben Mallor as a broadcaster. But I don't always agree with what he's talking about. I find them to be fun and funny and entertaining.

Good broadcaster, weak-ass-takes. Oh, I love Ben Mallor. And I'm not saying that, for the record, Rich said that. Pull that clip for him, Danny. Give that to him. Ben Mallor. Great guy. Weak-ass takes. But he's right. I spar with him every weekend on the microphones. Okay, well, do you agree or disagree?

When a big league manager addresses a player publicly, you know what didn't happen overnight. It had to be going on for a month or two. It had to be going on for a minute. It has to be something that a manager has been aware of. It has to be an issue because they're always going to defend their players. This is managerial manager 101.

So when Carlos Mendoza who teaches that class, Classy Freddie Blassie or Jimmy Hart, Mr. Fuji. Bobby the Brain Heenan and teaches Managers. Managers 101. Tony LaRuhrosa teaches it. Yeah. But Carlos Mendoza, when asked about hustle. said, look, he has to address it.

And if you missed it, take a listen. He thought he had it, you know, with the win and all that. And in this ballpark or anywhere, but in particular in this one, with that wall right there, you got to get out of the box. So, yeah, we'll discuss that. Okay, hello. Hello. We'll discuss it. Hold on.

No, he says he wasn't getting out of the box. Any manager, if that was a first time thing, a one-time thing, not a thing at all, you know, he always puts his heart into it. that was a moment, whatever. We don't worry about Juan Soto. You know, he's a professional. Can I give you an issue, dude? Can I give you the one?

If Carlos Men, if it wasn't an issue, he would have squashed it. Carlos, not an issue. And then Soto has the nerve. Hold on, I got to give you the follow-up. Soto has the nerve to defend it. We all saw him not getting out of the box in Fenway. Last couple of nights you've had a couple of plays where you were slow getting out of the box. Is that something you have to be more aware of?

No. I think I'm going to be very hard. If you see it today, you can tell. He says, no, hustling pretty hard. If you saw it today, you could tell. I think what you've seen, right? And I'm going to, I'll be Juan Soto's defender. Yo, Juan, I'm your boy, Rich Davis.

Remember this when you get hot and everyone's on your huevos. I'm the guy that got your back when things were down. To me, Juan Soto, there were two plays that are so terribly clear. He hit a hard shot to the second baseman. LeMayhew and the Yankees, and he jogged down to first. When if LeMayhew misplays that a little bit, you're like, ooh, bad look. Yep. And he showboated on what he thought was a ball that got over the green monster and it didn't.

And then he had a steal second to almost mentally make up for it. And as Gary Cohen, the Mets announcer said, he stole the second. You know why, Keith? Because he knows he should have been there. Right. I think Juan Soto, we're looking at a couple plays where he's frustrated. He's frustrated because he hasn't. Visibly frustrated.

I don't think he's lacking hustle. I think he's frustrated that it's not clicking yet. And he knows because I said, other than Aaron Judge, who is, as you said, Herman Munster and baseball pants. By the way, do you know the reference when I say that? Yeah. Do you remember the episode where Herman Munster played baseball and then he would hit the ball and just launch out and explode? Yeah. Other than Aaron Judge, who looks like Herman Monster.

Juan Soto leads the league in exit velocity, which means he's putting good wood on the ball, as they say. He's getting good contact. It's just, he's hitting it of people, not hitting the gaps. Yeah, but dude, so the least he could do until he finds a stroke is hustle. I think there's a lot of frustration and he will turn around. But I do think that this is the downfall of being the highest paid player. It is. And that pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

And I think we're experiencing a snowball effect of people piling on. Ben Mallor also pointed out something that I noticed too. The only time I saw him smile was when he was, as Ben Mallor said, playing slap ass or grab ass with Aaron Boone and Judge and his former Yankee teammates when he was in the Bronx. Where has that attitude been with the Mets? I know it's a lot. All they're doing now, Boneheads like you were doing these side by side. They're doing the side by side. They're doing the side by side. It's like, look at them.

Well, of course I'm going to pile on. I'm a Yankees fan. Look at him doing a handshake with Aaron Judge. And they're like, bro hugging, grabbing each other's butts. And then it's like him and Lendor, they're like shaking hands like strangers. I get it. Pile on all you want, but I have one message to everyone. Leave Soto alone.

Leave Soto alone. Okay. Rich is saying leave Soto alone. He'll be fine. But guess what? Are you team leave Soto alone? Or, hey, you're getting paid $765 million, dude. You better deliver.

Now, I'm telling you right now. People didn't pile on Francisco Lendor because he wasn't the highest paid player in baseball. Can I tell you? Lindor, and remember when the Mets had Hobby bias for a second, they did that thumbs down thing. Yeah. And the fans, like, get these guys out of here? Yeah.

Listen, man, people rebound. I'll finish. I agree with you on that. I'll finish by saying this. He's too good not to. I'll always and forever agree with you on that. I'd be very surprised if he didn't turn it around, man. I'm going to finish by saying this.

But right now, this is the facts. Draft Kings, pick six. I can't get our code because then we've got to do the whole disclaimer and everything. But let me just say this. I've been playing the draft Kings pick six. I'm going to get lucky. tonight because here's two guys that are going to hit a bomb tonight. Go ahead. Daft Punk. Let's hear it. Juan Soto. Yeah.

And Aaron Judge. Tonight? Aaron Judge hasn't hit a home run in days. He's due. Herman Munster's on fire. And I think Juan Soto yanks one down the right field, short right field at Fenway. So I'm going, I'm going to try to think of a third guy to put in that mix. But as of right now, I feel like those prop bets Soto and Judge home runs tonight. Maybe throw Bryce Bryce Harper in there too. One last little dino nugget to think about before we get some

feedback going, 87799 on Fox. What a selfish attitude for a superstar to have. When your team is still playing really well, you just fell out of first place. Yeah. And to have this sour puss bringing down the vibe. No one needs his

overpaid ass to be bringing down the vibe like that. He's like I enjoyed thoroughly watching plus. Right. To see him play and see his attitude like this, that's not the same guy I saw last year. I have a question. That's a fact. All right. Instead of asking, you know, people that don't know Wonsato, see what, like,

polar bread pizzas. What does Alonzo say? That's my gauge. All right. Hey, we got more Kavino and Rich. Now, here's what's coming up. We're going to hustle. Like on Soto. Somebody has to. Shack Diesel trivia, your chance at a Kvino and Rich Swiggy. Some NFL owners updates. There's a big vote that goes on. And Bill Belichick,

relationship updates with Jardon. We'll get to all that next. Right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with the name, Hey Jonas, Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.

Listen, Lerner Rabakina is. arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Shack Diesel trivia coming up. broke shack in the lobby getting ready to ask some questions. If you want to play 87799 on Fox, your chance to win a Swiggy. We'll do that later. Plus, Brett Fav and Bill Belichick, what do they have in common? I don't know. Their reputation is not the same. Well, you know, something to definitely get into on today's show.

I made a draft king's pick six. Yeah. Let me throw this at you guys. Ooh, is that I have to do with the Timberwolves and Thunder tonight? I'm going to do my NBA one later. Oh, okay. I got my baseball one set. Danny J., I threw you in there because you're a Dodgers guy.

Otani's been hot. I mean, I'm really just picking superstars. So let's hope that Tuesday, May 20th is a night of the star. Stars! Maybe it's a Colin Cowher type of night. Stars. Stars. Shohay Otani.

Stars. Stars. Shohay Otani. I got Judge Soto and Otani. All going yard. If all three of those guys hit a home run, run tonight. You sure you want to stick with Soto? Mr. Poutty pants. 30 wins 930. I'm glad you brought those guys up in the same sentence. You know why I know what the difference is?

You would never see Judge, especially Otani. Pout. With the body language at Juan Soto's expressing right now, 30 wins 930. And I'm not rooting against him. He's a 26 year old young man. DB, what's up? Two weeks ago, I hit one on my anniversary of Otani Judge and Schwabber. That's a good pick. That's a great combo. You might want to switch Soto out with Schwabber. The Phillies are only in Colorado and he hit a ball that hasn't landed yet last night. I don't know why he would want to.

Let me tell you. Add Schwarber. Add Swarber. Add Swarber. Yes, do it. Make it a four. Yes. I say go for it.

So, yeah, I'm leaning into the Soto conversation. I don't want to say hate. I'm not hating. I'm just stating. He's a 26-year-old guy with a bright future. I had a lot of fun rooting for them as a Yankees fan last year, so of course I'm a little bitter about the whole thing. However, the pivot has been better than the plan.

I have been enjoying freed, Goldie, belly, and Devin Williams. That's a lesson in life, by the way. Sometimes the pivot could be better than the plan. But I do have to say, man, it's definitely a story. I don't think people are making too big out of it, too big of a story out of it. I do think it's snowballing as a result, but I don't think that Soto's putting that fire out, and I don't think he's doing anything to help it. And he could easily squash some of the story by showing a simple hustle, an attitude adjustment.

This comes a lot easier than a swing adjustment. Root for this one, because we'll have a nice catered lunch tomorrow. I'm glad you're listening. 20 bucks pays 1485. Schwabber. Soto, Otani and Judge. Let's go.

Wow. Okay. Jeff Kings pick six. Any final thoughts on Soto and the fact that Carlos Mendoza is even calling him out, the manager? Yeah, listen, I was jokingly making fun of Ben Mallor, but I do agree with what he said. When the manager does speak, it probably indicates that they've had the conversation before. Yeah.

Because you rarely hear that. You keep that stuff inside. Especially Mendoza is a player's manager. Right. It's his second year. relatively new to the managerial game. It's not like he's some old head like a Laruso or something where, you know, where he's been around.

And you don't want to upset your guy that if you're going to be the manager of the Mets like Mendoza and your hope that you're there like a decade, you're very tied to Juan Soto. So that's the story, guys. You make the call. Let us know what you think. At Covino & Rich at Fox Sports Radio. All right. Let's go to Dan Byer for an update.

And then I want to talk a little Brett Farv and Bill Bellichick and what do they have in common? Wow. What's up, D.B.? Guys, there is some Bill Belichick news if we're on the same train. New York Daily News. What do we got? I don't know. We'll see. New York Daily

News is saying that Jordan Hudson has told at least one person that she is engaged. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's... I don't have anything to add to it. I could just be rumor. Man. She's really going to be calling the shots now. Damn. But nothing official as of yet.

I was going to say tickets are sold out for UNC football. Did you see that? Wow. They, uh, quickest or whatever. I don't know if they sell out every year, but, uh, ticket sales through the roof just to get a glimpse of Bill and perhaps Jordan on the sideline doing something. Well, then it's, then it's worked so far for the Tar Heels. We'll see if it works on the field. The NFL NFL, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announcing today that the owners did approve the move that would allow their players to play in the summer Olympic.

in 2020. For our players, we think it's a tremendous opportunity for them to represent their country to compete for a gold medal, which is the pinnacle of global sports. The owners are meeting today and tomorrow in Minneapolis. Tomorrow, they'll discuss the tush push and the playoff seating proposal put forth by the Lions. Rich, your 49ers are now valued at $8.6 billion as a franchise. This is after a 6.2% ownership stake of the team was sold for $5333.2 million. Wow. So that's the highest valuation of a team that we've seen so far.

Eagles were at 8.3 recently, according to Pro Football Talk.com, after a minority portion of their ownership stake was sold. Hall of Famer Charles Woodson purchased the minority share of the Cleveland Browns. Chicago Bears gave Guard Joe Tunney a two-year extension worth $35 million, $33.5 million guaranteed.

On the ice, Panthers and hurricanes skate at 8 Eastern in Raleigh and game one of their Eastern Conference finals. Kurt Bush to be enshrined in the NASCAR Hall of Fame in the class of 2026. Guys, back to you. Hey, I saw a cool story where, do you see how Tyrese Halliburton is going to send the Pacers fan that got doused with garbage in New York City? Yeah, that was a week. To game three in Indiana, which I thought was cool.

Yeah. That was game four. A very, very cool move by Halliburton for sure. I like that story. Interestingly enough, we said yesterday, three of the four teams have never won, and the Knicks haven't won it over 50 years. So you're getting a fresh NBA champion regardless. But as far as ratings go, and I know that's not everything.

And I don't believe in fixes and rigged and this and that, but how bad do you think the NBA? wants the Knicks to win. Imagine if it's Knicks, T-Wolves, or Nix OKC. If it's Pacers, OKC, you may be looking at the worst NBA finals ratings in 25 years. You might get a great series, but, yeah, agreed completely. If it's the Pacers, OKC, that's a game that doesn't even get like regular season prime time. I mean, in the past, yeah.

I mean, come on. Right. I mean, so. No, for sure. So, I mean, I think that, you know, So what are you saying, though? I'm saying if you don't believe in fixed and rig. If you're a fan of conspiracies,

and money sort of control everything. Then Nick's got a witness. Then they have to have the Knicks win this. All right. Hey, what do George... There's no George involved. What do... I was looking at George Went, rest in peace.

Oh, yeah. George. You know what George and... What do Bill Belichick and Brett Far of having common? I don't know. Well, you're about to find out, Bill. Hey, Bill, what do you think you have in common with Brett Fav? I don't know.

Oh, I'll tell you. Actually, Bill, I'll tell you right now, why keep everybody in suspense? We look at them differently, especially Brett Favreve after today. Yeah, I think their image is a lot different than it was, let's say even a year ago. Now, Brett Farms is obviously a lot worse, especially after today. Bill Belichick's just, you know, sleeping with a younger woman and might be mad. But we don't, I don't look at him the same way. I really don't.

I'm not saying he's going to be less of a coach, but I feel like my opinion of him has changed a little bit. Not the same reputation. He's the leader of men now being, well, seems to be, allegedly appears to be controlled by a younger 24-year-old woman. So think of other people. And we'll dive into this more next. Image shift the ruse.

whose image in the world of sports and entertainment totally changed and you know we can leave Mr. Freakoff Diddy out of this but I mean here's a guy that was you know we thought for years was giving all these young people opportunities in the music industry

meanwhile he's having baby oil Tutsyroll Freakoffs Freakoffs So who has had their image change more than anyone in the world of sports and entertainment I think there's a number one answer on the board and I'll give you that

next. It's not Fav. It's not Belichick. No, just that them. Who is it? Well, find out next. More. Kavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, I have fun with that.

If you need something to watch in the meantime, I don't know if I recommend this. Has anyone watched any episode of bad thoughts with Tom Sigour? Now watch the trailer and it was intriguing.

Me and my wife looked at each other. We're like, that looks kind of cool. It is the, Danny, watch episode one with your wife. And please report back tomorrow. It is the dirtiest, most sexual, filthy. Like, he is pushing every envelope that's ever been pushed. Yeah, but Rich told me he didn't like it. So, Rich, you're the biggest culprit of this.

This tastes like booty, taste it. It's like, no, thanks. You just told me it sucks. You know? Hey, man, this smells bad. Here, take a sniff. No, thanks. Hey, is this milk bad?

I'll take your word for it. You told me it sucked. Why do you pass it on? Well, you do have the Brett Favre documentary to watch. That is something to watch tonight. And thank you for the transition, transition Jones. Because if you do watch beginning of that, honestly, I do want to know what you think.

Bad thoughts, Tom Seguer. It gets weird. But you know what else will get weird tonight? That isn't a sizzling endorsement. I have other things to do. Like Brett Farv. And I actually watched the Farv documentary right before work. Oh.

And you guys are going to love it. It is really good. You know what I didn't know? I mean, we knew the story from a personal first-hand experience. Yeah, I was going to say, you guys are involved in the story. And we know a lot about it. But what I didn't know is that it was part of the untold series on Netflix. I didn't know that.

You thought it was a standalone. I thought it was a standalone Brett Farv documentary, but I love those untolds documentaries and part of that series. So, yeah, the Brett Farv documentary debuted today is titled Untold the Fall of Farv. And of course we all know Brett Farv is a great quarterback.

He did great things on the field. But off the field, it's sort of like he did a lot of shady things and questionable things and yet got away with it sort of unscathed until now. And we're going to talk about people whose image change for the worst or maybe the better. But Rich said he has a number one answer. Yeah, I do.

I do. It's not far. It's not Melichick. But first, we got to tell you guys about the Tyraq play of the day. The Marlins walked it off against the Cubbies yesterday. And the two one. I want to rip down the first base line. That's in for a base hit.

This could win it. It's rolling all the way to the wall. Hill and to tie it. Sinoa into win it. And it's a walkoff to run double for Jesus. Man. The Marlins magic continues in Miami. Jesus, actually.

Thank you, Jesus. It was. No, literally. Jesus. Jesus. And that's courtesy of Fox Sports 940 wins. WINZ, Marlins Radio Network. And that's our Tyraq.

of the day for over 40 years. Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what, and where they drive. Ship fast, free, backed by free road hazard protection, convenient insulation options, mobile tire installation, all that great stuff. Tyraq.com the way tire buying should be. Now, in this documentary that we're all probably going to watch, you learn that Brett Farves, sort of a piece of garbage, from being terrible to women to, you know, allegedly tampering with money of poor people.

Two things. Not allegedly. He took money. I mean, two for two. I mean, talk about trash behavior. Became part of the largest case of public fraud in state history in Mississippi. So tied to fraud and tied to being a purve.

Way to go, Brett Farve. And your acting was terrible on something about Mary. And he wears Ranglers Hello. Hey God, it's 0 for four. Yeah. So Brett Farv went from beloved quarterback to... What was Brett Farve doing here? trying to find redemption because everyone hates the guy now.

So Brett Farf went from lovable quarterback to piece of trash. Especially after today. Because everybody's known the story but has sort of ignored the story. But now it's right there in your face on Netflix. And Danny G. just said he saw it. So you're going to leave feeling like, yeah, man. Buckle up. Buckle up, Buttercup.

Not to spoil anything, but for this conversation, Sturger, Jen Sturger says in it, even after watching this documentary, some people will still ignore all of this because he was a football guy. Of course they will. Right. And the crazy part of that side of the story involving Jen Sturger, who we've known personally for years, is that if it happened now, she would have been the victim.

But back then, she was not viewed as the victim at all. If anything, Rich, you said it sort of ruined her reputation. It ruined her reputation. And, you know, Far really, you know, effed up her. path. Put it in perspective. If any other superstar of today did that, oh, forget about it. Imagine if Patrick Mahomes did that. If anyone else did that? No way. And the fact that she never met Brett

Favre is something we learn. I mean, I knew that. You knew that. But there's a lot. So you'll find out he's a real piece of trash. And we learned something about Belichick today. Not making him trash at all, but Belichick, your image may have changed. So we'll get to that. And I still have the number one answer of image changers in the world of sports. We'll do that next. We'll talk a little more NBA playoffs as well. Hey, guys, it's us.

The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.
