If you love our show, if you like it, just a little. Check us out two to four on the west, five to seven on the east.

By the way, we'll be here tomorrow. Did you just name the sizes at Coldstone Creamery? Like it, love it, got to have it. It's funny you bring that up because I have a. story, a mind blaster, about something that happened at Coldstone Creamery this week. I ran into a really famous, a really mega famous rock star at Coldstone Creamery this week. True story. And that'll lead us to faces of the NFC.

Because I want to know if you think this guy I ran into is the face of this famous, mega famous band. Okay. Fair. We'll talk about that. So I'll tell you this story. You're not going to believe me. And every time I say cold stone creamery, rich, the ice cream shop, I always say stone cold creamery.

Like the wrestler has his own ice cream shop. But, I mean, listen, it's an easy thing to miss parents. By the way, I got to ask, too, Colin have any interest in TV cameos? You know, when you're watching Happy Gilmore 2 and there's Dan Patrick as Pat Daniels. I'm like, I wonder if Colin ever wants to do that. So he was actually in one of the cars movies. Oh, that's cool. That's right.

He was the blimp. He was the blimp. He's just his voice. That's cool. Man, I want to be in a Sandler movie. I want to be in a Cars movie. Maybe one day. All right.

Hey, in for Colin. And let's get back to this NFL list. NFL on Fox came out with the power rankings. And of course, these lists are made to be talked about, criticized. They're made to be talked about. Yeah, we've established that. This is courtesy of NFL on Fox. Ralph Vakia.

I know. A guy I like. Yeah, Ralph did his thing. We're talking about it. And props to him, Ralphie V. Oh. The one that stood out, the biggest eye grab was the Steelers. And the truth is, it's not that anyone's wrong.

It's a question mark. It's like, really? The Steelers? Okay, they're sixth on the NFL power ranking. And do you think the Lions are nine? Yeah, and the Lions are nine. Great. Great point, Danny G.

like you would assume that they'd be a little higher. And then the other thing that really, really stood out, especially to Rich Davis here. Again, I'm Covino. That is Rich. Danny G. Superproducing, if you want to chime in on the phones, at 877 for the herd.

877 for the herd. Rich as a 49ers fan, a 49ers fan who watches the schedule closely, knows and talks about and preaches all the time that the 49ers are motivated. The window's not closed, and they have an easy, breezy schedule. So when you,

see that they're ranked at 18. You're like, wait a second. It makes no sense. Right. And the game we played yesterday was to see if we could guess the top 15. And the 49ers were not in the top 15. You're like, wow. I mean, who is?

Bro. It's the most disrespectful omission I've seen on a list in a decade. And then we posed a question, too. How can you say the 49ers are in the bottom tier of the league? Because you've got to fit the Steelers in there. somewhere to cause some controversy. You know, there's a few teams that you wonder, are they top 15?

Like we said, the Cardinals or the Vikings because, again, the 49ers are ranked 18th. Mark my words, the 49ers are going to go 12 and 5 or better. You know who they don't play, too? I'm going to tell you who they don't play. You want to hear this list? I do. They don't play the Bills. They don't play the Ravens. They don't play the Bengals.

They don't play the Steelers. They don't play the Chiefs. They don't play the Chargers. They don't play. or the lions or the packers. The Niners have the softest. They don't play anybody in the top ten. They play the softest schedule ever. So you could say that maybe come playoff time,

they might get whooped by like the Eagles or lions if the personnel's not there. So they're going to be a soft 10-0. Just look at the Niners schedule. I'm going to give you the first month. Seahawks, Saints, Cardinals, Jags. And they play the Rams, tough divisional game. The Bucks are solid. Falcons, Texans, Giants, Rams, Cardinals again.

Panthers, Browns. Titans. This is a weak as schedule that if the Niners are even 80% of what they were a couple years ago, they're over under in Vegas is around 11 for a reason because they're not playing anyone

of value. And then for fun we did speculate on, do you think Purdy and McCaffrey being new dads bond over that, are they more motivated or more exhausted with the new ones in their life? But they're not up, but they're not up

Changing diapers, that's what people need to realize. If you think Brock Prody is doing a 3 a.m. changing? I highly doubt that. Highly doubt that. The bad teams aren't going to all stay bad, Rich. We see this every NFL season. A couple of those teams are going to have turnarounds. Well, they're going to lose a quarterbox with

injury. I mean, Rich, you were just the schedule. They could easily be 9 and 3 going to their by week. Easily. Yeah. I mean, and again, we're really downplaying the fact. I know they lost weapons. And I know the 49ers, the big narrative for a while, is like, man, They're letting everyone go.

But they still have the core. Offensive line they worked on in the offseason. They drafted offensive and defensive line. They still have, I think Ricky Pearsall is going to have a breakout year. You saw towards the end of the year he was coming on. They need them. Ayuk will come back at some point. And McCaffrey's 100% going into the season.

George Kittle, Brock Purdy. I don't see. I think it's just the sentiment of everyone thinking their window has closed. Because they had a few chances the past three plus years. Do you remember going into last year the big sentiment it was the bills window closed. Right. And the bills...

Defon Diggs has gone. They were one of the elite teams of the AFC and, you know, a playaway here and there from really going all the way. So I think the Niners are completely disrespected. And I think, I hate to say it, because,

you know, nothing against the young dudes on the Cardinals, but how can you make a list where you rank the Cardinals four slots better than the Niners on this? You doubted the Cardinals all last season, remember? I doubt the Cardinals.

every year, I think. There's certain teams that you subconsciously, like you not do it on purpose, but you disrespect. Even the Vikings, Rich, you always leave them out of the conversation. Like when we were trying to think of the top 15, Vikings were number 15.

Oh, yeah, the Vikings. They got a working quarterback. Always pretty good, though. And to add the insult to injury, the Cowboys right after your 49ers at 19 and the Jaguars at 20. That's your NFL power rankings by Ralph Vaciano. Yeah, no.

Well, the Cardinals, keep in mind, though, they also have a pretty meager schedule. So maybe, you know, they start against the Saints. Who do they go? Let's see. Let's see the Cardinals first month. Cardinals play the Saints. Oh, Saints Panthers. Then they go 2 49ers, 2 San Francisco.

And then the Seahawks. Then they play the Titans and the cult. So, like, the Cardinals have a pretty soft schedule. But you're just, you're asking Kyler Murray to stay healthy, right? And that's something he's had a problem doing the last couple years. Marvin Harrison, Jr., to step up to be that top guy they think he could be. I don't know. I think that Danny G makes a solid point, though.

We're even speculating, like, we know based on the schedule. Like, oh, there's always a team that turns it around. Always a surprise team and always a team and always a team that is supposed to be good and stinks. So, yeah, multiple teams. And we say it every year. Parity! Yeah, one of Rich's top catchphrases is, man, the parody of the NFL. That's what makes it great.

The parody of the NFL. They made fun of me for years because I love the word parity. Parity. Parity. P-A-R-I-T-Y. buddies. Because every year, it's not just us, Colin, Dan Patrick, everyone will point out the fun fact that unlike baseball and the NBA

and other sports, hot dog eating, you know, the top four, right? Hot dog eating basketball, baseball, there's always surprises. The NFL is the one league where, without fail, there's 14 playoff teams now, right? Every year, like half of them or more than half of them are turnover from the previous year. And you look at the standings and you say, no, not this year.

you'll have the same teams and you're right. It's always somebody new. Someone will fall off. Like last year, the Niners missed. Last year, you know, the Bengals missed. There's teams where you're like, oh, no, all right, I had them. But I do agree. When Rich and I agree, it's fact because we often disagree.

But when it comes to his 49ers, the health factor is also a major part of it. And McCaffrey, from what we know, is completely healthy this season. Again, extra motivated, new dad. and Purdy is healthy. So to have them 18th is a head scratcher and we go to your thoughts now. Again, the top five,

Packers, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Eagles. But their surprise is, you know, number six is the Steelers. And we want to know your thoughts. 8774, The Herd, at Covino and Rich. But the fact that we're even talking about it is what makes today so special so much fun.

You got some preseason football. You got the MLB, trade deadlines. A special day here on Fox Sports. That's why you got us. Kavino and Rich. Oh, man. Oh, man. No, I'm just trying to find some answers. And you know, when you

see something, and it's from a reputable source and you're like, oh, bar. It's said that, according to CBS Sports, which... Who died now, Rich? No, it's not like the noodle. It's not like the noodle. It's not like the noodle. No, no one

died. They're saying that Brendan Ayuk is, quote, nowhere close. Yeah, he's going to be a while. I think, is it safe to say that if Brock Purdy and McCaffrey are both playing a full season, the Niners are in the playoffs.

Yeah, I think based on the soft schedule and based on Kyle Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan finds ways to win. And, you know, we're forgetting, I know you could say, stop it, Rich. I think the return of Robert Salo as a defensive coordinator.

Robert Salo was the ultimate defense. coordinator motivator, and I'm not saying he's not head coach potential, but Robert Salwa is your quintessential. Like, I want that guy as my defensive coordinator. Some guys are just better coordinators than they are head coaches. Spags in Kansas City was a terrible head coach. He's an awesome defensive coordinator. So you look at Robert Sal and say, and he's coming home and he has unfinished business and he went to the Jets. What a bad taste in his mouth. And you know that the guys that were remaining from a couple years ago are all.

all pumped to have Robert Salon back in the building. So I think the Niners disrespected. In fact, if you want to go to some feedback, Danny G, we got the phones running on the herd or what? We do. Let's start with Baker in Illinois. What's up, Baker? Baker. Hey, Baker, are you there? I'm here. What's up, bud? Hey, you mentioned a few times football from tonight until Valentine's Day, so I did a little looking. And if we go to the 18-game schedule, in the NFL and play the Super Bowl on the Sunday before President's Day.

Every six to seven-ish years, and starting in 2027, the Super Bowl would be played directly on Valentine's Day. Wow, look at that. You could get two birds with one stone. Honey, the game's on. I think that will happen. It's a romance. I heard our very own.

Dan Patrick here on the network talking about how, you know, according to the NFL, it will happen at some point. And it only makes sense, right? I mean, I think once you start pushing it beyond that, you know how the NCAA is like, let's put a hundred teams in the tournament. Like, slow down. 60 something, the bracket's enough. We don't need 100 teams in March Madness. I think 18 is perfect. I feel like pushing it beyond that, now you're getting selfish.

Now it's a money grab. Now it's injury prone. It's too much, too much. preseason no one cares about anyway. Cut that back one more game and you're going to end up doing if you do 18 games and you've heard the rumors of maybe every team has some type of international game, two by weeks.

I think we're going to settle on that and that will be the NFL moving forward for quite a while. Every team has an internet one, one international and you have a base like the 49ers. There's some teams that would play in Mexico City and some teams who are playing in Germany or you know. I think one international game, two by weeks, 18 games, cut back the preseason

because no one plays anyway, and the Monday after the Super Bowl's a holiday, and everyone's a winner. 877-484-34-37. 877-484-34-37-7-4-3-3-7. That's 8774-4-the-Hard. Thanks again, Baker. That's Baker Mayfield, representing his number 11. Thanks, Baker. Number 11 on the power rankings.

One of Covino's favorite quarterbacks. Yeah, they're ranked top 15 at number 11. Who else do we got, Danny G? Let's go to Virginia Beach, Soger. What's up, Saugher? Hey, what's up, man? What up, buddy. So just wanted to kind of share some thoughts here.

First of all, Saugers around the world, United. I know you guys work with one. Yeah, I was going to say, there's a saga on our video team, and I'm like, look at this. I know two sagas now. Yeah, exactly. I'm incredibly jealous about the fact that there was somebody named Sogger at Super Bowl 58 other than me.

Nice. Because, you know, I am a lifelong niner. fan and you know with that said man I just want to say that I don't want people talking about us I'm fine with 18 on the power ranking and you know what George Kittle George Kittle shares your sentiment I've seen Kittle say sorry we're boring sorry there's no story and Saga you know if it's not clear I'm a Niners fan as well Rich Davis lifelong Niners fan and we can all tell and I feel like it's disrespectful and I sometimes feel like I do have those Homer goggles on though I don't sound like I'm jaded, but I

do think if you put the Niners at 10, 11, 12, I'd get it because they did take perhaps a step back with personnel but 18, you're telling me the Niners are in the bottom half of the team. According to that power rankings. And again, your Niners weren't the only ones hosed on this list.

Like Danny G pointed out too, the Lions totally should be higher than they are. The Niners on this list are next to the Cowboys and Jags. Like, you really think the 49ers the Cowboys, Jags and Bears You think they're in that category?

No. And by the way, you know, Danny G. pointed out your excitement level for the 49ers in football. There's two things to get rich this excited. Smut and the NFL. That's your story.

Look at my Instagram algorithm. It's ass and 49ers. I don't try to stifle him, but he... Not often 49er ass, though. You could hear the excitement in his voice. On a personal note, you mentioned how

today's an exciting day, baseball's pop and so many teams are still in it. How do you balance that out? For real, for real. Because usually around this time, you shift gears because your Mets usually stink and they let you down at this point. So you shift all your focus to football. Like, dude, I feel your head's going to spin off. I feel your excitement level for the NFL is there.

I can hear it in your voice. And you still got to be excited about your Mets. That's a rare, that's a rare situation for a lot of people to be in. Let me tell you. That's a lot to balance. I'm not expecting you to care so much, but it's a fact. If you go back to the 80s till now,

I'm a kid of the 80s and 90s, if you're roughly 40-ish, the 49ers and the Mets have historically never been good at the same time, except when I was a little boy in the mid-80s when Montana was peaking and Darrell Strawberry and Doc Gooden. Other than that, if you historically go from the mid-80s till now, anytime the Mets are making some type of run,

49ers stink. And when the 49ers are good, the Mets stink. So I think the answer is I'm just going to ignore my wife and kids. You know what? I think you come here for solutions. Yeah, I think it's, that's how you do it. Hey, Emmy, Ben, my kids, dad's just going to be a little mentally unpresident for the next couple months. I don't know what to tell you.

Kids are going to be tugging on your pant leg and you're going to be focused on the game and on the moves being made. That's how you balance it, guys. But seriously, like, you could hear Rich's excitement just talking about the NFL, just knowing there's preseason tonight. Just knowing there's power rankings out there. Mixed into that. Tooie feels me on this one. I got two little kids. I just signed them up,

both of them up for fall ball yesterday. So if you're living that mom or dad coaching parents' sport life, I'm looking at the fall and I'm like, baseball playoffs, football, and I'm going to be coaching, I'm going to be coaching girls, softball, and boys baseball in the fall.

And they play soccer too? I'm taking a step away from soccer. I'm like, I hate to say this though. You're not Lionel Messi. Take a step away. On a personal note, When you say yes to all of those things, you're saying no to others.

And a lot of times something slips as a result. Something gets... Falls through the cracks. Exactly. And that's either your relationship or your work. Don't let it be your work. What are you saying? I'm saying, responding, not responding to Covina's text.

Exactly. When you got your life here coaching this, watching that, betting on this, baseball, football, kids, and everything else, things do fall through the cracks. That's absolutely true. Don't let it happen to you. You got to prioritize. Are you telling me? Is it you were George Kettle?

It's a life balance. Are you telling me? Is it Pete Alonzo or my daughter? I'm saying don't let it be your kids and don't let it be a relationship. Because that's a lot to juggle and those are high priority things. These are things that you get passionate about. And that's a lot to balance. It's true. No what I'm doing as well.

This is that the timing is right. I'm trying to think of the best way to maximize my football. ball watching. It's tough. Kavino will tell you, I'm a maniac. You don't think the nation of the herd could hear that in your voice? You don't need to explain. You're the most hyped up guy anyone's ever heard.

Last season I bought, because they're so cheap now, like the Roku TVs. Yeah. Like a 50, 60 inch TV is like 200 bucks. I bought two additional TVs. So I keep them in the guest bedroom and I roll them out. So my living room looks like a sports bar. And now I'm redoing my backyard. I'm like, honey, I think we need a couple screens.

Here and here and here. We need a couple of screens. If we're going to build a cooking area, we need a big screen out there. Looks like you're waiting in line at an amusement park. Yeah, you know what? You guys are going to have to take a back seat. I'm sorry. Wow.

I'm sorry. Here we go. RIP, time of death. Yeah. Sorry, Kavino and Rich after 20 years were done. Something. Remember, something takes a back seat. That is true.

Everything you say yes to, you're saying no to something else. All right. Who do we got to NIG one more? David in Minnesota wants to ask. you guys about the Vikings. Yeah, what's up, David? How are you doing, man? Yo, yo, how y'all doing, man?

I'll tell you about your Vikings. If you think I'm disrespecting them, I am not. I'm excited about your quarterback. I'm excited about McCarthy. And I'm also, you know what? I think Justin Jefferson is just the most electric wide receiver.

So I think you got a lot to be excited about. You really do. So you think, because I was so sad when he got injured right away, you know, I was excited to see JJ McCarthy play. So do y'all think, what do y'all think the Vikings will do

record-wise this season coming up? Well, look at it this way. You have a quarterback whisper as your head coach. You have great coaching. You have great personnel. And I look at it this way. Two, you may disagree or agree. If the Vikings took it that far

with Sam Darnold, and this is no disrespect to Sam Darnold, if you really believe in J.J. McCarthy has a really great young talent, then you should, should be able to duplicate that with him. I'm not saying you're going to go 13 and 4 again. But you are a winning team.

Playoffs should be the goal. The playoffs should be the goal for the Vikings again, especially, again, with that personnel. The only hesitation is that that division looks awfully competitive. Hackers, the lions, who knows what the Bears are. And the Bears that you're going to assume at some point, Caleb Williams and that team is going to step it up to next level. So you have four teams that all have, that might be the one division of football.

Rick me of her wrong. Let's take a Luxey. Let's take a Luxey. The lions are going to be solid. Packers are going to be great. The Bears is the question Mark. Vikings are going to be really good. I think the NFC North, and I stand by this statement, is the only division where all four teams think they can make the postseason. I know deep down inside, there are teams that realize, A... Deep down inside, deep, deep, deep down inside. What are your Guido? One of your Guido anthems. Remember that song? Did he?

Yeah, and Rich, I disagree a little bit because with Pete Carroll now in Vegas, I think the entire AFC West thinks they can go to the playoffs. Oh, man. You talk about me with the Niners goggles? No. I'm not saying what I think because I got to see Gino Smith deliver on the field. I went to Universal Studios the other day, right? Unless they put Max Crosby in that Minions duplicating machine, then I don't know what you think is going to happen. No, the defense is a question mark, for sure. I love the Raiders, and I think when the Raiders are good, it's good for football,

but I think there's still a little while, a little bit away. But you know what? That is a division where that might be your number two answer, because I think every other division is one team that has the reality of like, all we're not there yet, but I think the NFC North, all four of those teams are going into this season. You know Chicago's like, no, we got a new coach, we're revamped, we got Caleb Williams. It's time.

The Lions are like, we're going back. The Packers, Jordan Love, they have every reason to think they're going to be. back. They're number five on that list or six on that list. And Minnesota. I think all four of those teams think they could win that division. There was a question being posed by

Will Bonn and Cornheiser yesterday. Did you see it? Who's the biggest star to ever come out of Minnesota? Kirby Pocket? It has to be Kirby Pocket. Sports star? Sports star in Minnesota? I mean, biggest star would be Prince, right? No, it was sports star. Dan Gladden's Mollet. Dan Gladden's

Mollett. And by the way, who's the face of Vikings because that's something we're going to get to in a minute. Best star in Minnesota. In Minnesota history. All right. I have a top three. It's got to be Puckett. I'm going to go Puckett. I'm going to go Puckett, Garnett, Randy Moss. I think that's fair.

How dare you leave Fran Tarkington off the line? It's generational, but Puckett's undeniable. I like for your boomer dad, Frank Tarkening. But, I mean, you know, out of sight of the mind, I guess. That's a bad way to look at it. But yeah, Frank Tarkin him for sure. Puckett was a beast with the 12. wins. Frank,

Viola's mustache. Frank? Oh, Viola's mustache is a good one. Now, I have a story, and it involves a very famous rock band. And I think this rock band I speak of is a rare exception because most rock band's lead singer is the main guy. Yeah.

He's the face of the band. He gets all the ass accolates. Accolates. He gets the guy that gets all the accolades, right? The lead guy. It's a nice way to play. But there's some bands and some teams where it's not necessarily the lead singer or the quarterback that's the face of the team. So what do you think about the Vikings?

Who's the face of that franchise? That's a great question. You know what? Because they might be an exception. Think about that. And I want to hear your story. And by the way, number one answer on the board when I think about it, guy that's not the lead singer that is the most popular, this two answers, they might be tied.

And I want to hear a story. I'm going to say, it's not the coolest band. But Fallout boy, Pete Wentz. people know him because he dated Ashley Simpson and people, the rock dude Pete Wentz, he's like the bass player. I don't think people know Patrick Stump is the lead singer.

That's a rare sort of situation. Same with NFL football teams, any team where, hey, maybe it's a receiver or maybe it's a running back that's the face of the team and not the quarterback. Those are rare exceptions. I was also going to say Tommy Lee because of his penis.

I mean his drumming skills. And yeah, so, you know, your thoughts and we'll hear Camino's story and we'll talk more NFL. Next, Kavino and Rich in for Colin on the herd. One more herd? The herd streams 24 hours a day, seven days a week within the IHeart radio app. Search Herd to listen live or on demand whenever you'd like. Hey, we're Kavino and Rich.

And that's why we have a brand new podcast called Overpromised. You see, we're having so much fun in our two-hour show. We never get to everything. Honestly, because this guy is overpromising things we never have time for. Yeah, you blubber lips.

Blame in me. Well, you know what? It's called over-promise. You should be good at it because you've been over-promising women for years. Well, it's a Kavino and Rich after show, and we want you to be a part of it. We're going to be talking sports, of course. We're also going to talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time,

it will continue on our after show called Over-Promised. Well, if you don't get enough, Kavino and Rich, make sure you check out Over-Promise. And also, uncensored, by the way. So maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's going to be the best after-show podcast of all time. There you go. Overpromising.

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 did 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. 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 in my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

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. Jen she went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.

She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina 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. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines.

We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaders to controversial calls, we break it down,

give you context, and ask the questions everybody wants answered. Sports Slice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them.

It's moron season. Whoa. You're talking about Spot? He's doing his best. Spots on the videos, Fox Sports Radio's, YouTube, and everything at Covino & Rich. Yeah, we're streaming live. Tewy, love hanging with you, buddy, as always. You too.

Thank you guys for having me in. Danny G. Ryan, the whole crew is here. Covino and Rich in for Colin. I say it's Moron season. Not because you guys, because I'm looking at all my group texts with your, you know, you got your threads where... I'm allergic to those, so yeah, keep me off. You're telling me you don't have a Yankees group chat.

I do, but it's usually lots of complaining and nonsense. Yeah, Danny, you said you have a Dodgers group chat where your brother's saying moronic stuff. I mean, he's like, what are the Dodgers doing? Shake my head. Padres got Mason Miller and Sears from the A's. Bad enough, we don't trade for Helsley like the Mets and Duran like the Phillies did. So, yeah, he's just going on and I might.

We made a great point off the air. There's certain organizations more than others to blame for this that you think of, but you just want to hear those big names and any other key player or position player or scrappy kind of guy that you need for the playoffs you don't want to hear that right now

you want that big player name you don't want the guy you have to look up to see his stats on baseball reference now listen you are not a GM remember that right because when you when you're like oh what we got was a middle reliever and a fourth outfielder

that might be what your team needs and you know you're right people are waiting to be like Is Al Contra on the move? Is someone going to give some ridiculous offer for schemes? Is someone going to do that? That's what everyone's waiting for. Yeah.

For sure. And again. Anything less is uncivilized. I just, uh, it just, even the teams that make moves, the fans are buffoons. My met fan friends are like, this is not a World Series team. I'm like, they're not even in it. There's, I, and I say to them, they, along with the Phillies, Cubs, Dodgers, all the NL teams that are like doing well right now are all within a game of each other.

to say no one's a world tier's contender is ridiculous you just got two big key components of your bullpen I just would love all these fans to be GMs for a day because I said before the one thing we always need to remember

with sports management is that you have to give up something to get something every sports fan says the same thing they want all these big stars and they're like

yeah we'll give up a couple minor leaguers stop being an idiot well Rich I agree with you Speaking of videos, is Kavino and Rich. In for Colin on the herd. We got to talk Navian real quick. For hot water that never runs out, go tankless with Navian. Right now, save hundreds on a new high-efficiency tankless water heater with local rebates.

Well, find the name of your Navian contractor and tankless water heater at tankless made simple.com. Tankless made simple.com. And I will say, it is a big difference when we redid our house. Tankless. Instead of that big, bulky. Cylinder. like your old timey times, right on the side of the house, a little panel.

All right, let's get into it. It's time for the herd line news. No, no, no, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. What's up, guys? So we'll do a little football here. Number one pick Cam Ward.

They've had kind of an up and down. He's going to an up and down start to camp so far. But I thought this was very funny and interesting. The way he described the offense right now, It was a very Gen-Alpha way And I think this ties into a segment that you guys do And he talked about a word he mentions is a way that many kids Including mine talk today

Here's Kim Ward I just think we're very meet right now From my position to up front to the receivers position But at the end of the day it all starts with me I just don't think where we're at where we need to be But we got a little bit of time And so get on page with my receivers Watch fail more

And be accurate of the football It might not be where I wanted to to be, but also, you know, I'm throwing 15, 16 different people every play. So that's something that, you know, we got to stay out of the practice and continue to get work on. So he's saying they're mid, right? Yeah, yeah.

Mid. You got to be peak at this point. You got to be peak. You can't be mid. You got to be peak. As my 14-year-old told me this week, he said, Dad, no, he said, it's not that deep, my guy. Yeah.

I'm like, what? As long as he doesn't say that you're looking chopped because that's the insult. Dad, you're looking chob. So Covina earlier, you said there's always a surprise team in the NFL. I think the Titans are going to be a surprise team. Better than you think, yeah. They are buried at their power rankings, the Fox Power rankings.

But I think Kim Ward is going to shock a lot of people. And they're going to be pushing for a playoff spot. Maybe not make the playoffs, but they're going to be pushing for a playoff spot. But again, that that division is not very good. It's not very good. Is this the year where Trevor Lawrence makes some noise and we start talking about how he also like, like, who we talk about.

Justin Herbert is not bringing it. I mean, the narrative that Trevor Lawrence is the guy is going to go away eventually. Totally. I cannot figure him out. Like, came in, just, it's this massive prospect in college, number one pick. Trevor Lawrence was, when he came into the NFL, they talked about it like, you're not since Elway. Andrew Luck has there been a prospect like this?

And, you know, nothing. Nothing. This story was wild, guys. So I think you touched on yesterday in your show, but Luca Donchitz was on the Todays show this week. and talked about his off-season workouts and weight loss, and wait until you hear what they asked them at the end. I would say me and my team just try some new things, you know, different food, different practices.

I actually gave up playing basketball for one month, which I never done in my life. So it was kind of challenging. You felt like you needed to step away from the game in order to focus on the fitness aspect of it. Yeah, exactly. So it was just diet and exercise. That's it.

Yeah. No Zempeg, no, none of those shots are anything. Oh, Zempeg? How? How dare they? Insulting. Listen, I had abs when I was 25. The dude's a young man.

How insulting that... By the way, I said yesterday, too, on our show, it's not like he was Chubs from Teen Wolf. Remember the guy that paid Francis from Pee's Big Adventure? It's not like he was that fat. Yeah, diet makes a difference. Why is that so hard to believe? He's 25 years old.

And by the way, he's on the cover of men's fitness. You see these shots everywhere. He's slim and trim and looking great. but it's our default setting that's automatically thinking, oh, he must be on OZempic now. It's like, or he just switched his diet up and got motivated, and it's the biggest FU. I think it's great revenge.

You'd be like, yeah, look at me now. I'm in great shape. But now if you can keep that up, that'd be awesome. I also think it's so insulting when a young man who is a premier athlete just trims up and you're like, oh, Zempic, he wasn't, again, he wasn't Lizzo and just lost it. What are we doing here? It's like asking a girl with really great boobs

Like those are fake, right? No, they actually could be real, you know? It's just what we assume, yes. It is wild. You see who else is really ripped now? Just on a side note. Have you guys seen Borat, Sasha Barron Cohen? Oh, my God.

What is this guy? Wow. My wife. He looks. That is crazy. He's ripped right now. Yeah. Anyway.

That's the news, boys. Thank you, too. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Herd Lie News. All right, so I have a story and my story's sad to tell. My story's great. I love my story because it was so random, so out of nowhere.

I saw a rock superstar. It's debate. I could say rock god, perhaps. I saw a rock god in the most random of places. And I know it's Los Angeles. We're out here in the mean streets of L.A., but it's not like you bump into celebrities all the time. This was pretty random.

But he's from a band where you could say, all the guys in the band are superstars. And that's going to lead to a conversation of, well, who's the superstar? Who's the face of this team? And we're going to focus on the NFC today. Yesterday we talked about the faces of the AFC. We're going to talk about who's the face of each team in the NFC. And who is the real face of whatever band?

Okay? And I'm going to tell you my story. And we want you to play along. 8774, The Herd. Thank you guys for being here. All right. We'll do that next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,

We just contributed to a... 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. 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.

Number 30-30. All right. Kavanaugh and Rich. In about five minutes, we're going to do something we do on our show, Monday through Friday, two to four on the West, Covino and Rich. Old school went 50 hits. We throw it back and reminisce, but we get you involved. And we're going to talk punishments.

Old school punishments. We'll explain why. So start thinking about them. 877 for the herd. Do that in a few minutes. But I want to set up this story and get you thinking. Okay. So my.

my daughter was bugging me all week. Dad. Again, she's a 15, just about to be 16 year old pain in the ass, right? She's in cheer camp. She's in that stage of her life. But she's like, Dad, Dad, can you take me to Coldstone Creamery? There's a new

taco, Oreo taco ice cream thing there. And I'm like, all right, Melody, do we really need that? All week, she's bothering me. And then, just the other day. My answer is, yes, you need that. I know. You're going to say no to Coldstone Creamery? I'm trying to get home to watch the Yankee game. It's been a long-ass day.

You know, I don't need Coldstone creamery. Okay, Luca. All right. So, exactly. I'm trying to trim up. I'm trying to trim up. I want to look like Luca. Come on, dude.

Coltstone. You got to. I want to open up the floodgates. I don't got to have it, right? So, oh, my God. Then she put the teenage guilt trip. You said that you'd, and then I'm thinking of myself as a dad. Well, these moments are going to be few and far between.

She's going to be getting her license within a year. Yeah. This kid wants me. take her to get ice cream. There's a few moments left to her. She's going to want to hang out with you. So I started feeling all guilty about it. And I did one of those dad moves where I didn't tell her where we were going, but I pulled

in. She's like, where are we? Oh, we're at Coldstone. That's usually like a Disney move, not a Coldstone move. Surprise. We're a Coldstone Creamery. Relax. We're going to Disney next week.

Okay. She's spoiled. But I didn't want to go. So I reluctantly went. That's a part of the story. I didn't want to go. And I'm in there and. She's just taking her time trying to figure out what to order.

And all kids want cotton candy, whatever anyway. But she's claiming she'd never been to Coldstone. So she's taking her time. And I'm like, come on. And I see the silhouette of a rock star come walking my way. And I'm like, no way. This can't be. No way.

I'm seeing things right now. And I didn't have my glasses on either. So I'm like, there's no way. And then he comes into the light and he's right there next to me. And he's looking at the menu. He acknowledges me. He gives me like a vato nod. Like, hey, what's up, essay?

And I look at this guy. He looks at me. And I'm like, there's no way it's this guy. And then he starts looking at the thing. And he's trying to figure out his order. And I'm like, hey, man, you want to order first? He's like, no, man. He's like, I don't know what I want.

You guys. Then we start BSing. And I'm like, yeah, my daughter's been bothering me all week because she wants this taco thing. And now she can't figure out what she wants. He's like, Man, I've had a hankering for ice cream all week, man. All week, I figured I had to get here.

Now, this guy is arguably a rock god. A rock god? He could be the face of the band, but there's multiple faces of the band. And again, I want you to start thinking of who's the face of your team? Who's the face of the NFC team? We're going to get to that later. But this guy was none other than. Are you ready?

Paul Stanley of Kiss, dude. I'm not even a big Kiss fan, but he is a rock legend. You know, he's a guy most people recognize with the star painted on his face, right? Oh, of Kiss. But he was there ordering, I don't know if I would have recognized him. That's ridiculous. It's Paul Stanley. He's a 73-year-old guy with a rock star hair.

Get some whipped cream and some chocolate sauce and then maybe paint his face. I'm not the biggest kiss fan, but I totally acknowledge how mammoth, how massive that band is worldwide. And you could say, yeah, Gene Simmons is the lead. singer, but it's like a duo. It's like Axel Rose and Slash. Two megastars in that band. They're all superstars at that point, right? What did he order the birthday cake surprise or the cake batter, batter? And I'm here to tell you that Paul Stanley loves the birthday cake surprise. He ordered... I actually told him I would call him out on his goofy order.

Did he order the better nutter butter? And they said, Mr. Stanley, do you like it? Love it or got to have it. He was like, I got to have it. No, nobody knew who he was except for me. So I was like, Yo, man, I'm a big rock fan. Cool to see you. I didn't fan boy out and ask for a pick because I have the moment. I have the story. I didn't want to be a Lamo fan.

But I play his stuff every weekend on Ozzie's Boneyard. That's on Sirius XM Channel 38. I'm a big rock fan of all rock. That's why I got into radio in the first place. I'll have the chocolate devotion. I'll have the chocolate devotion. Man, pulsing leave kiss. Wow, that's wild.

So again, am I the biggest kiss fan? No. Not at all. But we have to acknowledge he has a lot of stadium anthems. You can't go to any game in the U.S. of A or anywhere in the world without hearing a kiss song. Dude, he wants to rock and roll all night, party every day and also have the delightful peanut butter. And he licked it up. Licked it up.

So, guys, what I want you to start thinking about is who is the face of the band? Is it always the lead singer? Not always the lead singer, not always the quarterback. And this does tie in, like Kavino said, not always the quarterback. Because coming up in a little bit, I have a thing. I have a theory about what it says if your team's face is not the quarterback. We went over the AFC yesterday on our show. We'll recap that quick.

And I want to go over the NFC, and we'll do that coming up in a little bit. But look at the clock. 50 is hit. 50 after. There's a search. Yeah. What we're going to do right here is go back. Back into time.

Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old school when 50 hits. At 50 after. CNN give you the time capsule topic, and we reminisce together. All right, so we are Covino and Rich, in for Colin on the herd, and we do this every Thursday. We reminisce, we throw it back, but we get you involved. The most inclusive show on radio, 877 for the herd. 8774-484-3437.

All right. Yes, 877 484, 3437. Now, this is where our super producer, Danny G. comes in because he always gives us a fun meme or something that's gone viral to help us here with the discussion. And there was a story out of Cowboys Camp and a meme that went along with it said there were so many fights at Cowboys Camp that Brian Schottenheimer had players and coaches running. Yeah.

At a professional level. At a professional level. They were, you know, I got to do some laps. He was calling out laps for, again, players and coaches. there was so much baby bickering. It's like you went spot during commercials. I'm going to make you guys do less. Listen, when I coach a bunch of little kids,

I coach my daughter's softball and my son's baseball. And sometimes you think you're punishing them and they want to do it. And I'm like, yeah, but look who you're comparing the cowboys through right now. A bunch of little kids. Exactly. A bunch of little kids. Sometimes I'll be like, hey, pick up one more rock or flower or something.

You're going to do laps. They're like, I can run and they want to run. But so the question is this, Based on the Cowboys old school punishment, what were those punishments you experience from coaches, parents, teachers that maybe wouldn't fly today or maybe the ones that you remember most as a kid? Because a few definitely pop in my head.

We'll go over old school punishments. And of course, more NFL coming up. In for Colin on the herd. Kavino and Rich. 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. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.
