We got to catch up with Clay Matthews. This guy, charisma? Good stories. Talking about everything from Aaron Rogers to Mahomes flopping. And you could hear and see that on the Fox Sports. radio page. Is it up now? You want to post right after the show? Right after the show. Okay, right after the show. Now, we even talked about Mark Andrews addressing the press. After a bad game, should you be expected to address the press? Because he didn't. And he got

some backlash for that when the Ravens lost. He had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. And we asked Matthews about that too, former Green Bay Packer, former Ram. And you'll see that immediately. after the show. You could listen. Just search over, promised, or watch it on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. We'll give you some highlights throughout the show. Lots to get to On Covino and Rich. Now, you know, a lot of people talk in NFL, and don't worry. We're going to get to plenty of Josh Allen and Mahomes and, you know, our feelings going into the weekend.

And, of course, Pete Carroll, Danny G., his silver hair already looks good wearing that, in the Photoshop's of him wearing a Raider's shirt. Yeah, now he just. just needs to get a Raiders tattoo. And Pete Cowell across his chest, right? No, 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 Polly Walnuts. No, just grow a beard and go Hollywood Hogan and do it.

Oh, yeah, he's got to do something to, you know, bring that vibe for the fans. I think so. Pete Carroll, the most rah-rah, enthusiastic 70-something-year-old on planet Earth. So the N.E.G. The story is the AFC West going with the old guys, huh? That's kind of cool. old guys but also I mean quite accomplished you got

a couple national champions in there you got a couple Super Bowl few Super Bowls yeah we got a bunch of Super Bowls and 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 what are they're not half bad they're all bad I don't remember their names Ebenezer and Saul yeah what's that we'll call them that

yeah no these are established leaders with great resumes and some wisdom behind them. Stattler and Waldorf. Yeah, that's those guys. We're not talking about them. We're not talking about Andy Reid. We're talking about Harbaugh. We're talking about Sean Peyton and now Pete Carroll.

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 a division in NFL history.

I can't think of another time. One division had Super Bowl champions and national champions four coaches, four accomplished guys. No rookies, no coaches without a ring or championship. No, I think you're right. I saw somebody tweet that out this morning. Can you say accomplished compilation of coaches 10 times fast? Ooh.

Accomplished compilation. No, I don't know. Accomplish compilation of coaches. Accomplish compilation of coaches. Wow, Sam. Yeah, Sam. Too bad that won't get you a date. Oh.

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, Cincey? He sent me a tweet and he said, dude, he's so old and he sent like a skeleton on a bench. And I wrote back, I said, dude, he's in better health than you are and he's almost 74. Yeah. Remember those clips? It was like two years ago or so, though, where he was throwing passes.

At practice, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Pete Carroll's like he was rolling right, you know, throwing dimes. I'm like real agile for an older guy for sure. He looked like a Mark Wilson pass. He looks more agile and more in shape than most people, 30 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've got to be pretty excited. No, that's great leadership for your team. Yeah, I think the plan A was Ben Johnson. Right. And 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 heart 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. better than plan A. You know, maybe it was a blessing and disguise that Johnson went to Chicago. So, hey, props to you.

I think that could be cool. Pete Carroll, old guy, young energy. He's like that, you know, the meme of Steve Bouchemi? No, but he has the backwards hat and skateboard. How do you fellow children or what I was? How did you fellow kids? It's a real thing, man. You know, from 30-19.

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.

That's true. You know how like some people look or act or feel younger. I know it sounds stupid, but it is true. Listen, I talk, 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 I'm older than you and you just don't think that right yeah and he's one of those guys

well it seems that way you know I never hung out with them 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 West 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 all our Friday fun

there's a story about And it's so random. Devin Haney. Devon the dream Haney. Now there's a two-part story. He's actually in the news this week. De La Jolla is 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 are going to be on the same card with Roli Romero.

So Turkey a la Chic, his excellency, is making that fight happen. and for Devin Haney to get the rematch with Ryan Garcia, he has to beat Ramirez. And Jose 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 real fight fan. But if you want to know the real reason,

Devin Haney's name is anywhere today. Oh, of all people. It's because he called out Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Malboa. So don't act like he's in the news because he's. he's fighting Ramirez. No, no, no. He's in the news because he called out Balboa. I said he's in the news for multiple things this week.

Right? So that happened this week. But he also called out Slice Stallone. So what happened? Sly's on social media. Sly, 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 rands and like, yo, these are like, you know, would you tell it? What is it you said today? kid, life is not like all sunshine rainbows, you know, like, you got to get up, you got to get tough, kid. You know how he just gets in all his rants? He starts talking about, like, and these are the boxing

gloves I used to use back in the day. These are rare as boxing gloves, and you know why? He's like, you know, they're a lot lighter than gloves today because, quite frankly, we used to be a lot of tougher back down, 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 Reyes 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 teach Nick Kidd when you make life

easy? You know, life's supposed to be struggles. Absolutely. So he's doing his whole Rocky thing about how people were tougher back in 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 them Rocky movies wasn't real. How dare he?

Actually, I didn't see Stallone reply, but he's a fight fan, so I'm sure he saw it by now. I was just 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 the haters of Devin Haney. And who doesn't love Stallone?

And 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 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. Listen, I have a crazy take on this.

You, I've been more fights than anybody, absolutely. I think if you play a fake version of something long enough, you're almost that. I bet you Mariska Hargitay Right Is a better detective Law and Order Don't Don't

Than 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 fell 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 Stallone knows so much more about boxing than the average guy. 99% of people.

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 Pesci, you know, representing you in court? How about this? 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 there's video. Have you seen those 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 more than 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 99.9% 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 10 years. Absolutely.

Yeah. They've always pretended. Guys, on these shows a lot like Law and Order, SUV, SUV, law and order, SUV, Law & Order, whether they're 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. 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 with him with professional athletes making sure like, dude, your fundamentals, 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 hose wrong way. Because you're 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 paul goesler 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 throwing

in the high 80s at the time and this is before people were throwing 108 miles per hour yeah you know throwing a high 80s 90s that was a big deal back then so you know i don't want to say that Stallone is to 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 for a little bit. Like, 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 Carrey could have been a weatherman or an actual pet detective? I mean, this is a real, this is a big time stretch. But if someone that played. Or a lawyer. If someone that played a pilot. Okay.

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 man dies and like you'd want that guy over does someone on the plane could someone on the plane know how to fly a plane

the pilot died well not a pilot but I play one on TV well good enough but I think the one that played one on TV is your best candidate you would know a little a little more

let's be clear we're not saying these actors no no no do the job no 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 about it. I was saying if we were in a plane, if we were in a plane and the pilot and co-pilot, you know, both passed out. They're like, who could fly this plane? And it was Iowa Sam or Tom Hanks who played Sully. I would have a little. I would say, yeah, Tom's taken away. Tom Hanks could do anything, though.

That's the great thing. But a lot of, and 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. John Travolta is an actual pilot. And a great dancer. And a great Santa Claus. Yeah. They go on to like...

Doesn't Harrison Ford also fly? Yeah. He crashed one of his planes like six, seven years ago and stumbled out of it. So life imitates art imitates life. When you are an actor and it sounds stupid because not everyone takes it as serious 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 of all the things they're kind of capable of because they've been trained or they learn 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 diss of Stallone. by saying you don't know the difference between a left hook and a fish hook. Because I think everyone went in 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 Lampley's. I already mentioned Antonio Tarver. 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-nowware 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, yeah, I think I want to do that. I don't know. How many boxers have you think trained to the Rocky soundtrack? That's what I'm saying.

Like for him to come at Stallone was weird. That's why I'm telling you, that's why he backpedaled quite a bit. You know, what's the worst in a movie, a boxing movie? What's the worst choreography you've ever seen in a boxing movie? That's a good one. Let me think about that. You know, most of them are pretty decent. Like, even the old Rockies are pretty kind of weak when you watch them from today's standards.

Like the one with Jake Gyllenhaal, which one was that? It 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. By the way, if you had to get it. Probably the one with Cherry. You ever see Jerry Lewis?

us in the ring when he's in the ring you ever see it. Stop it. Look that up. Did you ever, if you had to get in a race car. Yeah. Like a if you had to get a street race and it was like, Joe Schmo or someone from Fast and the Furious. Are you just, are you just being like, all right, I guess I'm would have been diesel because he has to know a little something. A little more.

A little sum. All right. So Mark Wahlberg and Boogie Knights. If I had to become an exotic dancer, I, we'll do. We're going to 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 stop by are NFL players, football players and athletes. But if we have an actor on the show, we've got to ask, what random skills do you have?

That you could fake it enough. You could fake it enough because you've played so many different roles, so many different parts. And to answer Iowa Sam's question, the worst choreography in sports. He said in a fight in box. But it can go out to all sports. 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 clock's like five, four. And then there's still like 20 seconds left in her little movements. Oh, yeah. Whatever that was. The timing never adds up.

I got to find out what show it's from. How about this? In the movie Teen Wolf, I saw this speculated about before. I mean, it's Michael J. Fox and he's a wolf, so you have to, like, you know, leave your brain at the door anyway. I'm sorry. Right. So, but there's a scene where he's taking the foul shots, right? You know, at the end?

He's taking free throws. And, yeah, he's doing free throws. And his nemesis is standing right in front of him, like, just looking at him. It's like, under no circumstance in any game is the player, like, standing in front of him. Yeah, that's not a part of the rules. He's across from him. He's the human wall at the Clippers' new arena. Yeah, he's just like mean mugging him from across the way.

It's like, that's not allowed. So anyway, Devin Haney in the news multiple times this week. What are your thoughts on that? And we'll take your feedback. You know, what do you think you could fake or, you know, if you have an example, like, hey, I would trust that actor because he played so convincing. All right. More, Kavine on Rich on a Friday.

I like the Survivor one better, I think. there's no easy way out. That's a better one. This is the Root and Tootin,

Because Devin Haney called out Stallone for not knowing anything about boxing. My point was kind of simple. I do think Stallone knows more than the average guy. So I thought that was uncalled for and it was weird and that's why he got all that backlash. Rich is going next level saying that he would let

most actors act out whatever they're known for before any other average person because most of them know more than the average fella because they've played that role for so long. If you played an astronaut in a 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 you. What's that stupid movie about the bobsled team? Oh, cool running. Cool runnings. Yeah. Those actors, way better than any other person. What a random example. Attempting a bobslet. I'm just saying. That's extreme saying astronauts. Maybe the stunt actors know better. They don't know. The actor doesn't know what all the buttons and everything are for. There's no way. Kevin, Kevin Bacon, Tom Hanks and Dealey Departed at Bill Paxton. I don't know if they could get us to the moon bank. But an emergency 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. Hold on. Spots into all those law and order and criminal minds and all that. You don't think those actors would be a little better at solving a crime than the average Joe Schmo. Michael C. Hall, you think he's a... He could get you started. Yeah. Blood spatter. Dexter. Michael C. Hall could probably cut someone up better. He knows how to use a scalpel.

Yeah, doing a physical act is one thing, but I think 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 and start cutting me open. They get a lot of reps. Not in surgery. This is ridiculous. Like maybe like an incision, but anything beyond that? No, yeah.

We're talking in an emergency. but we'll take your phone calls to wrap it up. Devin Haney said in regards to Stallone saying, like, yo, 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, them Rocky movies wasn't real. I get it. But I give Stallone the courtesy. Everyone was probably like, yo, F you, Devin Haney, we love Rocky. Rocky Rules, Creed. And 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, Kavino and Rich, 87799 on Fox. And we still got to do, we got five on it in regards to the games this weekend. Of course. And we can hobnob. Say what's up to Andy in Rhode Island. Hey, Faisano.

Hey, hey. What's up, buddy? Oh, my son's, he's trying to get out of it. I will say, I just want to start off saying, thanks for the honorary. Swiggy, it's beautiful. I actually have it right hand by my side. Oh, nice. And, you know, it's actually an honor to have a rule named after me because, you know,

I'm always bringing it when I call. So, you know, shout out to the Andy rule also. The Andy rule? Yeah, Byer came up with that. If I'm going to say, if there's an actor that, I feel that I would probably trust and possibly do something, you know, on the day-to-day, I'm probably going to have to go with Leon Mason. You know, if I need him to figure something now, I'll find him as a person.

I know he's the guy. I will find you. And I will kill you. You don't think Liam Mason can find someone better than you? Good luck. It's an expert's first. 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, get me around L.A. safely. Well, 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 going to give, I'm going to give this guy another shout out, two shoutouts of one show. If I needed somebody whacked, I would definitely feel like Pauley Walnuts could get it back. 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 Sopranos. Danny Trejo had some troubled parts of his life before he became an actor.

So, 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 them. Right, they 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 one's, I don't know, random guy, you know, you met at Chippole and the other person is someone who played a doctor on TV. I'm taking the guy who played a doctor on TV.

Big Bird in Georgia, what's up? Hey, guys. Thank you for taking my call, man. Hey, I just want to speak on the whole Rocky thing. Hey, no disrespect. I loved her from White Man Can't Jump. But if they got Rosie Perez commentating fights, I think Rocky can speak on a couple things on these fights here.

Yeah, that's 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 Perez has always been incorporated into the fight world, they're probably like, why is she on, why Rosie Perez? So many people are scratching her heads when they see that for sure.

Josh, wrapped us 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, 2007. So I just want to say the soot, and that's burnt smell, they do go away. So my brother is mechanic, but if I'm going to restore a hot rod, I'm calling Tim Allen,

aka Tim the toolman. 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. It's a 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 Approvement 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, let's say I'm at the barbershop, and I get the vibe of someone saying it to me, what do you know? And 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 talk 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 Byer 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.

You know, 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 Byers? I'll say, I don't even know if the toolman would be the first guy I'd call on that show. I'd call Al Borland, right? 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 tool. I was Sam. 73-year-old, going to 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 to ever coach a game as a head coach in the National Football League. Jaguars finalized their deal to make Liam Cohen their head coach,

while the Texans and offensive coordinator Bobby Sloick parted ways after two seasons. The Lions are keeping offensive line coach Hank Fraley. He gets promoted to run game coordinator in Detroit. There had been some fear he could go to Chicago or other places as well, interviewed with the Seahawks for their offensive coordinator position, but Fraley stays in Detroit. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts says he'll wear a knee brace or likely wear a knee brace Sunday against the commanders. He's off the injury report, though, and we'll play in the NFC Championship game.

Dallas Goddard says he's going to play through an ankle injury. Patriot Safety, Jabrille Pepper is acquitted by a jury in his trial for assault and battery involving an on-again, off-again female partner in Massachusetts. College football playoff national championship game for the 2026 season will be held in Las Vegas. The game will take place Monday, January 25th of 2027. Ohio State running back, Quinn Sean Judkins, will enter the 2025 NFL draft. And women's college basketball right now is showdown on the SEC number two South Carolina, leads number five LSU. 32 to 30 again two minutes to go until halftime LSU 20 and 0 South Carolina

18 and 1 but both teams perfect in the SEC guys back to you thanks DB and by the way props again to Pete Carroll I was looking at the other oldest head coaches Romeo Cornell he looked good for his age when he was in his 70s but compare you know we always talk about you know a lot of our parents are around 70 now yeah they look so different

than what used to be 70 George Hallis for the Bears was 72 He looked like he was 172. Pete Carroll has enthusiasm and, you know, almost a spark that these other older coaches didn't have in my mind. It's springing the step. Right? Marve Levy for the bills, he felt like an old timey time coach. I think it's less cigarette smoking helps.

You know, I think so. People don't smoke as much. You don't look like an old saddlebag after a while. Yeah, because think about it, our grandparents' generation, they fought in a war. They went through a depression. War, depression, smoking. Yeah, it was a different time. The best example was when we saw Tom Brady and George Blanda at the same age.

Remember that? Yes. And Blanda looked like he was 185 years old. Dude, our grandparents thought lasagna was a diet. And they were in the sun all the time. No doubt. No that. Thank you, Danny.

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. 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, 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.

Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth? Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.

He felt destined for greatness.

So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is. is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levan this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive?

The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life.

Our best of the week is there. And another reminder, he debuted a brand new episode of Overpromised yesterday, episode 77,

but a bonus bonus podcast today, an interview with Clay Matthews. And we cover everything from Aaron Rogers to Patrick Mahomes to Mark Andrews and how he didn't address the press. And we talk about all the games this weekend with Clay Matthews on Overpromised. really good dude. Yeah, really good guy. And by the way, you... That's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page in about an hour. You felt like Stallone when you look in the mirror and hear that song.

Yeah. But you don't throw your helmet at a statue of yourself. Because, A, you would never wear a helmet to cover that hair. No. And B, there would never be a statue of you. Yeah, that was it. I knew we're getting there. But let me tell you.

Does Clay Matthews still have the long hair? He does, but let me tell you, he's looking slick and handsome. Like, he's not one of those players that retires and looks like trash. And he wasn't like a big bonehead. actually a lot of fun to talk to. So you'll see that again at 4 p.m. You actually might hear a little sound bite to get you fired up later in the show. Perfect. Real quick, before we get to NFL, next hour, we'll hear a little bit of that Clay Matthews interview because it jumps off to a more interesting topic about the NFL. We'll make our picks for championship weekend. But I got to just

vent on this for a second because I'm allowed to because, A, it's our show and B, it's our show. I'm a Mets fan. I'm a big baseball guy. There's plenty of football talk we've done. And we're pumped about Sunday like everyone else. But I got to talk about Pete Alonzo for a second. And it's not just about the Mets. It's about ownership.

And I feel like Steve Cohen, since he bought the Mets, has been almost the perfect owner. Like he's a fan. He's the guy that owns the Buckner-Mookie Wilson ball. He's a billionaire that bought the team he cheers for. You know, money's no issue. He's rebuilding the whole area in Queens around City Field. He got Juan Soto, for God's sakes.

Like, he is doing everything possible. It was failed, but he got Verlander and Scherzerzer. So there's no lack of effort by Steve Cohen. He is, you know, he's delivering on his promise. He's second only to maybe like a Mark Cuban in like what you would want in an owner. Right. Except in one case. He sort of is leaving it in the GM's hands how to handle the Pete Alonzo story.

They offered Pete Alonzo three years 70 mil. And I think everyone in this room, including Danny and Iowa Sam agreed that, man, for a guy that's a home run champion and, you know. More home runs than Aaron Judge than that time's been. I mean, more home runs than anyone. Yeah. We all agree that 70 year, I'm sorry, 70 million over three years is sort of like. Well, I say Aaron Judge because I feel like Aaron Judge gets a hell of a lot more credit. That's really why I said that.

But yeah, more than anyone. But Danny, you would agree that seems like a light offer? Yeah, we said the other day it feels like $15 million too short. Like you tell me, Pete Alonzo doesn't deserve. I told you, I thought it was going to be like four years, 120, like 30 a year. They're sticking to three or 70. And I feel like he's going to end up on the Blue Jays or Angels, no offense, like more bottom feeders. Apparently they're calling up like desperate teams are now like, we'll give him 10 million more.

If you're a Mets fan and the whole fan base wants Pete back, isn't it? not reading your fan base. If he, let's he ends up on the Blue Jays for three years, 80 million. And you've lost him for what, a measly 10 mil in baseball money? Not getting him back also builds a little resentment for a Juan Soto. And not only diminishes the Wonsoto move, but resentment too, because it's like, well, we would have had him if we didn't spend so much money on him. NFL picks for championship weekend. All next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

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?
