What a wild day in the world of sports. And you got us Kavino Rich too. Break it all down, I guess. Indeed.

Well, I hope you had a great Tuesday night. Hope you had a bam out of bio sort of night. Not a team USA sort of night. Maybe it marked a Rosa sort of night. Maybe a team Italy. Sipping on a little cappuccino. Yeah. A little espresso. Yeah. What a win. You think you're a team Italy. I hope they win again just to save USA and the Rosa from the embarrassment of not moving forward. We'll explain. We're going to get to that. Do you think they put a little Zambuca in the little Zambuca? In the after after shot. Absolutely. You got it. We're Kavino Enrich and we be rocking out. Let's go. It's a hump day. Yep. Can have an exciting hump night. We got that team Italy Mexico game in just two hours. From now. Yeah. We all sit around with no choice but to just hope things go team USA's way. We'll explain all that. We'll talk some bam. We'll talk some Max Crosby. We'll talk Gina Smith. We'll talk all the crazy ass stuff that's going on the world of sports. You didn't even mention Max Crosby. Did you?

I did. I just said Max Crosby. You said Gina Smith. I'll be for that. You got to clean your ears. I was thinking about Mike's words of wisdom because it's Wednesday. And every Wednesday we try to give some prizes away. So we got Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. We'll drop some wisdom. We'll drop some prizes to you. And midweek major. Sam Iowa. Sam's on standby with all the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. We decide on the show together. If these stories are mid. We. Or major stories. Plus Danny G is on standby waiting just to say hi. He's on the phones at 877.99 on Fox. Dan buyers here. Damn world standing by. Yeah. Let's go. Two things. Real quick. Right quick. Number one. I have a show that I got to tell you guys about real quick. And that's to do with sports. And it is unbelievable how this one under my radar. So it may have gone under yours as well. I'm at the barbershop. Hang it with you.

Is that Cedric the entertainer back of the day? You're hanging with. Who's that Bernie Mac? Who was who did that movie barbershop? Cedric. Yeah. I'm at the barbershop getting a little trim up before today's show. Grays are coming in a little too much. Got to do something about that. And my barber Addison. Addy. He's a big NBA fan. Big Clippers fan pun intended for real. He's actually barber like the Clippers, which is really funny when you think about it. So he's got a documentary on. And I'm like, yo, my dad told me about this. But no one else. So power the legend of the ABA. Danny, I don't even know if you mentioned this during weekend hobdop in one week, but it's on prime. It's the story of the ABA, the ABA NBA merger. And from what I saw in my 40 minute haircut, it was unbelievably good. I think we did mention it quickly in passing. We did. But if you need a documentary on how I know that for real, because I'm a big rock fan.

And Tom Morello plays something called the Soul Power Stratocaster, a Fender Stratocaster. But he writes Soul Power on it. And when it was brought up on the show, I remember specifically thinking about Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine in Audio Slave. And the Soul Power. So yeah, it was in passing, but is it good or what? So far, I mean, when I watched in the barber chair. Yeah, fantastic. It really was like, you know what it makes me realize that I know so much about baseball history. I'm pretty good about going back to the whole Super Bowl era and a lot of us are. What do you really know about the ABA NBA merger and what, what that meant in the 70s? If you aren't alive, you don't know how at one point like the ABA was considered like the weaker league. But then they showed up big and had some big players and players were going back and forth between both leagues. It's funny. You bring that up today because today in history is the first day a basketball game was played. I think it was 1892. Yeah. So if you're interested in the ABA NBA and you need a documentary and you're caught up in all your stupid stuff.

Soul Power, the legend of the American Basketball Association. It's a four part prime video docu series. It came out in February. So maybe you just missed it, but it's produced by Dr. J. So pretty cool to watch. All right. I'll check that out. I'm trying to get in that basketball mindset a little bit. It was it was a cool watch. So you got your side poofs reduced. Yeah. You got a nice high and tight. Yeah. Nice. And it's hard to learn some stuff about the soul power. Our barber was asking about you because he said, yo, Kavino, how's my guy doing? Isn't he half Italian, half Mexican? And I go, yeah. And he goes to the USA. And he's a big ramifications for me tonight. And Kavino is also a board in the United States, but his heritage is the game tonight. So is this the Kavino game Italy vs. Mexico? This is the Kavino game. With the US just waiting around with USA, deserving to lose because they're just numb skulls. But I can't see them go out this way.

Like I'm hoping Italy wins or Mexico score is five or more runs just to save the embarrassment. That's really it. And is that really what it comes down to? Yes. It's so embarrassing. I can't even believe what happened. We're here. I can't believe this is the situation. It doesn't get more embarrassing. And if you're not up to speed, let's just get right into it. Now, of course, we'll talk BAM. And of course, we'll talk more NFL. And I'm sure Dan Buyers going to have more updates. Last night, you saw Team USA sort of put out their B squad. I mean, they're all great players. I don't say that with any disrespect. I mean, they're all fantastic. You're having fun. But I know what you're saying. That was not the. And it was, you know what it was? It was like game two of a double header. And keep in mind, it's tournament play. So different rules amount of runs scored. Matter runs led up. All this sort of matters in the tournament. And clearly, Mark DeRosa, the manager of Team USA, did not know the rules. And he had assumed that they were advancing in this tournament.

And they had nothing locked in. And what makes it even more interesting is, Mark DeRosa has no managerial experience. So to throw him in this situation is also a very odd choice. Right? This is the first time he's managed anything. But up until this moment, everyone was raving about this guy. Well, because he's a great dude. He had a great reputation. He had a great career, 16 years in the big leagues. Most of those years with Atlanta. You know, yeah, great player, great reputation. I'm sure he knows the game. That's not what I'm saying here. But clearly, he didn't know the rules. Or he was misled or misunderstood. But not only shame on him, shame on everybody. The entire team because not one player said, Hey, or even Mike Aaron Judges, the captain of the team. Hey, hold on. Why are we starting this guy and not that guy? Why is this guy in line up and that not that guy? What is it that you said on hot stove earlier today that we're advancing? No, we didn't. Yeah, take a listen to DeRosa early on. Tonner respect for Italy.

It's weird. We want to win. We want to win this game. Even though our tickets punched at a quarterfinals because Mexico plays Italy actually tomorrow. So this the way the way the schedule lines up. This is an important game for us. Take it. Not punched at the quarterfinals in punch. That's what he said earlier before the loss last night. He said he misspoke. But yeah, but he didn't misspeak. You know what he did? He misunderstood. Yeah, I misspoke. I was on hot stove with a couple buddies today and completely misread. Misread the calculations. Yeah, you're not just hanging out buddies. You're talking to Matt Vaskersian on television. You're not just hanging out at the barbershop like Rich, just BS and what you say matters because it proves in this case what you actually thought. And all the proof is in all the decisions you made. For example, having Kersho warming up. You couldn't just let up as many runs as whatever at that point because those runs work against you in this tournament. I think, you know what it is? Like, you know what it reminds me of. And Danny G and Dan Byer as big NFL fans know this.

Every time there's a tie or something in the NFL. It without fail. Without fail. There's one player coach or someone that's like, oh, I didn't know that could happen. And here's the thing. I might not have known the exact rules moving forward. Other managers have come forth and said, yeah, I didn't know that rule. But guess what? It was Derosa's job to know the rule. No, I know, but he's supposed to know. But there's always someone. I remember. How does Jeff Pasin know? How do Gibroni's on social media know? Like, I knew. Jeff Pasin. Jeff Pasin's like, that doesn't matter. He wasn't the only guy. You know, so many people like, you know, before the game even ended. If USA loses tonight and they did fight back props to PCA and props to some great at bats at the end of the game. They fought back. Oh, it's tough seeing judge strike out at the end with a chance to tie it up. But that happens. So many people on social media were chiming in, explaining that there were ramifications

here that could prevent USA from moving forward. If Mexico beats Italy today. And clearly, if we're not making it clear enough, clearly marked Derosa. And most of the team didn't know what was at stake last night before they lost that game. They did not know the rules here. And that's his job. It's embarrassing. Remember, Donovan, they have to know there could be a tie in the NFL. Yeah. And several of your minor players, Rich, didn't know after the overtime lost in the Super Bowl to the Chiefs. Oh, I thought I would be scored. And listen, it's, it's, uh, bro, they go out like that. Ooh. Yeah. That's embarrassing. So there's only two scenarios in which USA moves forward. And up until last night, they were undefeated in this tournament. Team Italy has to beat Team Mexico in pool B play today. Or Mexico has to score five or more runs. Break out the espresso machine. Let's go, Italy. And I think that's more likely to happen to be honest. I think Mexico does score five or more runs because Team Italy sort of went all out last night.

They blew their bullpen, uh, load, so to speak, last night. I was trying to avoid that expression, but I think you could see you nailed it, buddy. You can't say that expression. I don't know about that. Since when? I don't know what you just said. I don't know if that's an appropriate expression to hear what Rich said. Listen to the podcast. I can do it. I think that's, I think that's inaccurate. I know what level. Hey, rather be safe than sorry. I hope you don't sit in front of your, uh, little league team. I, you know, no, it reminds me of, it reminds me of we were on SNY in New York. And Kavino said, you know what that really, Kavino said the phrase. It's like a wood. It's like a weasel on a woodpecker. And someone beat him because they're like, wait, no, that means. Oh, I mean, that a context. That's a weird story to tell. There is no film. Who's caught? Who's calling the outline? That was the FCC. There is. See, you're going to get us fired. Rich. Sorry, sir, that I then realized that was inappropriate. My bad. Okay. You're on the podcast. The back story is this. There was a photograph of the year.

According to National Geographic. They got the phone. The photo of the year around 2013, 2014 was a photo of a woodpecker mid-flight with a little weasel on its back. And I said to myself, that sounds like some sort of redneck hillbilly expression. Like a weasel on a woodpecker. Or a photo, by the way. You know that photo? Yes. Yes. It was a hummingbird, wasn't it? Or maybe it was a woodpecker. No, it was a woodpecker. So I said that on television and they bleeped me out because they didn't know what it meant. They didn't know what you were referring to. Yeah. They thought it was some sort of sexual innuendo. Yeah. It says New Jersey Lingo, right? I'm like, no. Woodpecker is a bird. You know that, right? Okay. Anyway. Take the wood away. Anyway. Weasel on a woodpecker. So Italy, let's just say they use their bullpen. So there's three possible outcomes tonight, right? Let's be honest. The possible outcomes, U.S. is rooting for two of them.

Outcome number one. Italy wins. Bam. You're in. Outcome number two. Mexico wins and scores five or more runs. U.S. is in. Scenario three, Mexico wins and scores four or less runs. U.S. is out. Now you could say after that bone head decision and performance last night, they don't deserve to move forward. But it really would be a shame because it would be more fun if that team did. It's the dream team. This is a dream team of superstars. And I do want to see it continue. If they don't continue, I'm still excited about the tournament. There's still great teams. The energy levels high. But again, to save Mark DeRosa and the entire U.S.A. team, some embarrassment, I would love to see them move forward. Dan Byer, what was your thought as you heard the news and saw this on furl last night? I don't have any thoughts except to tell you this, Cove. This is, I just wanted in on this because there is the extra inning scenario because this isn't just total runs. This is the number of outs that you've recorded with the, oh, so this is courtesy.

I saw this handle breaking down, but Demetri Curtis says if Mexico scores its fifth run in the game to walk it out, to walk it off with one out or more in the bottom of the tenth than Italy would advance. So if this game goes extras, and it's four, four in the extras, and Mexico wins five four with one out or more than it would be Mexico and Italy. Oh, that's wild. So you know what? It's like, I was telling Cove to earlier, Dan, you feel like it's like week 18 of the NFL. Yes. And you're like, this team, if this team wins or ties, they're in. They're a wild card. If this team wins, they get the buy like we're watching Team USA, Aaron Judge, you're not be sitting here right now. I'll be like, I hope we're one of the eight best. Didn't that they might not make it to the quarter fighter and that's embarrassing. I, I'm wondering what do you cheer for? Like do you is, I think Mexico is going to win to at least that would be the guess that I'm sure Italy's maybe out of gas from last night. So then you're hoping that Mexico turns it on, right?

But if all of a sudden Italy is up three, two, you're like, come on Italy, like you're back. Honestly, it's a back of the entire game of your team USA. DB, I, listen, I know that there's so much at stake for the pride of these countries. And it's a big deal around the world. But there is a part of me that wonders, is there a play at some point where let's say Mexico is up like for nothing in the fifth. And they think, well, you know what, moving forward. I'm not quite sure having the USA around benefits, isn't it? Yeah. No, no doubt. I was thinking about the strategy here. Yeah. These are subbing players because why would you not like, if you're, if your team Mexico, and again, let's say you're up three, nothing or four, nothing, midway through the game. And you're pitching lights out and you can see that Italy just doesn't have it today. I think by you just blowing up in the game, what you're doing is, and you're inviting in the Vegas favor back into the dance. Yup. No doubt that that definitely is a part of the strategy. Imagine bases juiced bottom of the eighth Mexico up for nothing in Randia, Rosarena, just

stands at home plate and watches three pitches go by and then gives the finger to Cal rally. Nobody looks at the camera and goes, that's for you, how to end the inning for nothing Mexico. The way to stick it to Team USA, the only way I would want Team USA out of it. If it was a Rosarena looking at pitches and then looking at the camera and smiling and saying hi Cal, unless, of course, Mexico's manager doesn't know the rules and haven't thought ahead here. Maybe he misspoke or, you know, just chatting with his buddies. You got to hope somebody knows the strategy, the potential strategy here. Maybe Vinny Castilla on the bench would think ahead, but that's what's boggling about it, right? It's not just Mark Derosa. There's a whole squad of coaches, players, no one said, hey, they didn't read the email coming out. Hey, I'm being serious. It's like, all right, they play baseball, right? But that's the embarrassment and if you've got fans at home realizing what's going on

while we're watching, because while we're watching, I'm reading like, oh, no, is this true? If they, if they don't win and Mexico wins tomorrow, it's over for them. That's hard. We know before the people actually play in the game, that's disgusting. Derosa, maybe, just maybe, Team USA didn't quote, read the email because they didn't think it would have been. Then they don't, I hate to say this, then they don't deserve it. Then it shows to me that they don't care as much as the other countries who are playing with all sorts of passions and different levels of excitement. They don't care as much, then imagine if you came into something, feeling like, yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to move along. It would be like, they took Italy lightly, that's also part of the truth. It would almost be like, if there was like a weird rule in the opening round of like the US open and like, I don't know, Roger Federer is like, yeah, I never really read the rules on that because there's no way I'm out in the first round. Like maybe, maybe the rules of, well, think about the rules, they were, they read the

rules. He misunderstood them because when you hear when he said to Matt Vaskersian in this conversation, he's trying to explain that. He wants to say, I think he's going to say conversation. When you hear the conversation with Matt Vaskersian, he makes it very clear that, well, it's sort of a weird situation since we're moving forward. I want to give guys like Goldie an opportunity. He was just doing dudes in because he really thought and understood that they were moving forward, not the case. So either he misunderstood, he was misled. He did more than miss speak, miss spoke, I miss spoke was not the response. I miss understood is what happened now. Let's make that very clear, but I have a question. If it all works out and I am curious, I'm sure I could look it up like the Vegas odds of the US advancing. This is a few scenarios in which it could happen. If all is fine, a Mexico wins eight one or Italy wins, like whatever the case would be,

do we just forget this or will this always be like a blunder in your mind? Like remember when the Rosa, I think it's, I think it's one of those like, you know, if a field goal kicker misses a field goal, but their team gets a ball back and they win anyway, it's almost like no harm. No foul. Oh, you made an error in the bottom way with one. You made a big error in the top of the ninth, but your team walked it off in the bottom of the ninth. Like, yeah. No one's rooting harder for team Italy than Mark De Rosa in team USA right now, just to save them from that. I heard he sent them over a charcootary board for real, dude, with really good lead. That is the weakest feeling when you're not in control of your destiny. You're just sort of sitting there waiting to see what happens and that's exactly what we're all going to be doing it now and a half from now as that game goes underway. Team USA and gamblers are like looking at like the overall, like they're like, okay, we need to keep it under this or over that and it's like high tension, high anxiety. Don't you guys really think that Mexico, Mexico scoring five or more is the likely? Yeah, I would think big based on Mexico as well. Yeah, because like Kavino said, Italy's Italy's going to have to go to bullpen for

them. They're spent and Mexico has some bets, so yeah. So Mexico by five or more Mexico by five or more Mexico by five or more, Mexico by five or more. Hey, Sam, can you give us a grito? Yeah, let's. That's it. That's it. Thanks, Sam. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. We're rich. An exciting ridden grito. Rich is absolutely right, though. That's how the better feel. Mexico might play with a strategy and keep note of that. Keep note of that. If they know the rules better than Dorosa does, then there may be strategy involved. So that's one story from last night. And you know, you watch this game in disbelief. You call it up your buddies. You're like, can you believe this? And to see it come down to Aaron Judges was also heartbreaking because you know, this guy just gets so much criticism. And you know, there's a debate in itself. I saw our boy, Sal LaCotta saying that him versus Soto would also be a big controversy

moving forward. Did you see that clip? He sent it to me and I love Sal, but I think I was like, that by kids practice or something. But I know that they were arguing whether or not that's good for baseball, like watching like he was saying that he would choose his guy, Soto, because he's a met over team USA. He doesn't want Aaron judge, regardless of USA, Soto, Soto, Soto, Soto, you're a lion should be with your players. You root for, I mean, listen, Sal, we worked with him and I said, why he's a big player's hold on the players. You root for it doesn't take precedence over patriotism. It doesn't. I'm sorry. Well, especially with this team, the team USA team, very likable. I gave that I gave that scenario to Daniel said, what if it was Otani for the win versus like, you know, a guy you hate, you know, like, you go for the USA, by the way, according to Las Vegas, they've done the number crunching, which you could imagine, because this is like,

well, last I saw the lowest percentage of probability was USA moving forward. That's last I saw things changed. Incorrect. Okay, get it. Break it down. Look, haven't posted a clear USA to advance line, but based on the run over under, okay, and based on whose favorite to win, you could then deduce there's no, there's no particular bet you can make through draft Kings or any casino, but when you look at the over under, what teams favored runs, pitcher, matchups, everything they're saying, the US 60 to 70% chance to move forward based on, if you really crunch the numbers, okay, so there's a couple of things that could happen. There's no clear, there's no clear like one path only. So 60 to 70% chance, and you're going to see some really fun scrappy baseball tonight, the way it's meant to be played. Lots of fun, lots of hand gestures, lots of cool handshake.

Can I tell you before this celebration, some breros espresso before the espresso bar was open last night before the, let's say Bucca was poured before the cheesecake and coffee. I saw a survival, the eaten panatone in the dugout before the celebrations. The US was a plus to 25 odds on favorite to win the whole WBC, so we're talking 12 hours ago. 24 hours ago when we were doing the show yesterday, they were like a two to one favor. Like it wasn't even a good bet, like bet 100, you know, bet 100 to win 200 type of that. It wasn't even a good bet. And by the way, if you're wondering why we're harping on it big time blunder, but this tournament has also been next level exciting because the players involved seem to really, really care about it and that shows to the fans and shows to everybody. Again, showing lots of pride in representing their countries.

So we got to show the same amount of pride and show the same amount of care that they do. Start cheering and bet flipping everybody. Yeah, let's, let's see some excitement. Let's see some support. And they got a cat machine that Mexico scores five or more tonight. They got an espresso machine and all that. Or you know, we need what's very American? Get a slushy machine, pour some slushies. What's very American? Yeah, like a big gulp, a hot dog hot dogs on a rotating thing. Like it said, yeah, all right. Well, hey, listen, we'll get your feedback next.

I'm Steve Elwapo, Kavino. That is Rich, Dickey Dutelboy Davis. Oh, what does that even mean? I don't know. But we are together, the Voltron of Radio, at Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We talked quite a bit about yesterday. It was a three-headed monster of what? Well, yesterday was a big day of what stories, more like what? Team USA out of bio with his 83 points. Max Crosby drama. So there's lots to get to today. We're so we're picking them apart one of the time. We covered the WBC. But I did mention in passing that there's a great documentary if you're a big basketball fan or even not. If you're just a casual fan, I started watching it at the barbershop. They were playing Soul Power, the story of the ABA. It's on prime and it's awesome. And someone wanted to chime in. Yeah, Dwight and Idaho wanted to talk about that. Dwight, so far what I've seen looks pretty good, man. Dwight. Hey Dwight. Oh, Dwight.

Oh, Dwight. Dwight. What happened to Dwight? Is he all right? Pulled over, went to go get some jerky and a sluffy slushy or something. Dwight. Dwight. Well, never know. Well, you know what? Well, you figure out if Dwight's okay. Let's go to Dan Byer for an update, DB. What's going on, my friend? Guys, so much going on. Just on the heels of the World Baseball Classic, you were talking about Italy and Mexico. Right now on Fox Sports 2, Canada leads Cuba. Five to two in the bottom of the seven. Winter of this game advances in the bracket. Loser goes home in pool A. All right, let's get to the NFL news because we've got some action going on. First of all, transaction wise. Cardinals released quarterback Kylo Murray. Multiple reports say the Vikings are going to meet with Murray. They're the leader right now, to sign him as a free agent. Kirk Cousins has been let go by the Atlanta Falcons. So that quarterback now our free agent as well. Bradley Chubb released by the dolphins now signed by the Buffalo Bills, three year deal with more than I should say, formerly of the dolphins gets a three year deal to play in Buffalo,

more than $43 million. Less than a day after backing out of their trade with the Raiders for defensive and Max Crosby, the Baltimore Ravens on free agent defensive entry. Hendrixson to a four year deal. It's worth $112 million dollars with $60 million guaranteed. GM Eric DeCosta speaking just moments ago about what happened with Max Crosby. Nobody's more upset about this than me, gutted by it actually, big regret for me. But we will move on as a football team, and I think there's many, many opportunities for us to grow as a team, to become a better team, to build a roster, and to be the team that we want to be. Now you say what a coincidence that now you sign Hendrixson a day after this falls through. DeCosta says that they had a plan for both. We came to a point probably after we lost Tyler, where the trade kind of made a lot of sense, as a possible guy to look at, thinking that potentially we'd have two past rushers on the defensive line on both sides of the line. So that's his reasoning.

He's gutted. I know it's funny, you're him being gutted, or Rob Parker on the network, saying that he was heartbroken about canceling Magic City that. I'm heartbroken. I'm so sad. One other NFL, two others actually from the NFL guys. Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones agreed to terms on a two-year deal, and the NFL is considering playing a game of the night before things giving, possibly as soon as next season. Syracuse, fired men's basketball coach Adrian Entry today after three seasons, and no appearances in the NCAA tournament. Right now in the ACC, Louisville just topped SMU 62-58, while in the big 12 Cincinnati and UCF are an overtime tied up at 58-a-piece, Auburn, a bubble team just beat Mississippi State 79-61. Steph Curry going to miss another five games with his knee injury. Guys back to you. You know, it's interesting. I went to Syracuse and I happened to go there when both teams basketball and football were good. And I clearly imagine the experience for a college kid. It's so different if the team stinks, so they're good. I remember watching. I went there.

I had a crossover year with Donovan McNabb, and I was there right before Carmelo Anthony. But the team was still like, you know, it marked mad this team. So I can't imagine, you know, going to school at different, right? Different level of life. Like Hart video guy spot went to Maryland the year they won the national title, and he talks about how great it was. I was saying, Carrier Dome, one of the five places that I think I probably watched college basketball the most growing up, because Syracuse was that good. It's fun. And I've seen maybe two games at the Carrier Dome on TV in the last three years or during the Adrian Entry era. Yeah. That was not there. There's actually proof that good football teams and maybe do a lesser degree good basketball teams drive admissions higher. Oh, no doubt. Yeah, they're not with that. And yeah, women as well, they absolutely do. But it does mix. Some schools don't like if you're a basketball guy, you don't love that the football team is some make it work. Others don't. The basketball team would rather the football teams stink. Yeah, they want the attention. Yes, correct. Thank you, D.B. Now on the heels of what Dan Byer said, one of the other big stories, of course,

is Max Crosby. Back to the Raiders deal. And apparently, yeah, I'm probably there today, right? So he was already there with the Raiders. Like a pro. He went to work with his lunch box. That's cool. And I don't know if there's any update here. I'm sure Dan and I'll flunch box. I was at a. But he's probably Darth Vader guy. He man lunch box. Really? No, he's a Transformers dude. I thought, um, do the Raiders keep him now? Because there's so many teams that are going to be interested. I'm already here in rumors. Maybe about your 49 cowboys, the cowboys, the bears, the Rams. I mean, it's endless as far as opportunities because the truth is, he's still just recovering from an injury. It's not like he necessarily failed and isn't going to get better when it comes to this physical. Now, based off of what Dan Byer played, the audio from the Ravens front office, saying like they're gutted. Like they wanted it to go through. I heard Diana Rossini, a friend of ours on Dan Patrick this morning. And Danny, you and I were talking about it last night inside scoop from the horse's mouth.

She spoke to Max Crosby and gave the juice here on Fox Sports Radio this morning. And Danny G you and I were saying the same thing, which is like, it just, it just feels like is there a possibility there was buyers remorse? And when a guy's recovering, a doctor could find something that you could say that shady behavior. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but I gave you the analogy. If someone went through someone's significant other's phone, you could find the most innocent thing and maybe be like, what's this? When you're looking for something, you'll find something. So I feel like we're, were they looking for something enough just to be able to say no deal? Like, is it, was there buyers remorse? Like, oh, man, we're giving up all these picks and I don't know. It felt that way immediately because they had lost so many of their players to free agency. That's suddenly they were looking at things like, okay, we have Max Crosby. Now we have his contract too. And we lost two first round picks. How are we going to replenish the Ravens? They don't normally trade first round picks.

Well, usually they're not up in the top 15 either. But they normally don't deal picks away like this. And they, they've always drafted pretty well. So right away, it didn't pass the sniff test. And so immediately even NFL insiders were saying, hey, something's not right. They're not the credibility of team doctors though. Well, that's the thing that the doctors, they're called team doctors, because they work for the team. They work for the team. They're highly paid from the team. Yeah, the front office says to their team doctor, hey, kind of changed our mind here because we want our two first round picks back. The team doctor is going to do what they say. But I'm saying it's just for a sake of conversation. Could it be that maybe the doctors did see something with the healing process that might not, you know, 100% there's a fair deal for them. There's something that maybe they did see that worried them long-term from X cross. I have two questions. Number one, I would say I didn't have to a beep sniff test. Number one. And a number two sniff test could mean anything. Okay, that's not what I mean. Is this milk old or not? No, no sniff. And number two, Daniel Jones just signed an extension and a new contract.

And when there's another standing that this guy's recovering, clearly he's not 100% ready right now. Isn't that part of the understanding? That's the thing. Like in Kirk Morrison had been saying this for a couple of weeks. On every radar podcast, I listened to pointing out that Crosby couldn't pass a physical to be on the field today. But in June, he could. So you got to have a little bit of a leap of faith. Of course, the healing process is going the right way, which if you follow Max Crosby on his social media accounts, he shares a lot of his life. So I saw him go from the rolling, you know, thing when people have leg injuries to the cast off to standing on his basketball court shooting shots, he's coming along and radar insiders are saying he's a little bit ahead of schedule, which is actually what his agent and doctor also said. And if you're connecting the dots, Ravens clearly knew that and they know the healing process and they knew what they were signing up for. So was this their excuse to back out of it? As Rich said, buyers remorse. Not Dan buyers remorse. Actually, purchase or buyer buyers remorse.

Quickly Adam Schaefter reported that the Cowboys doctor was one of the doctors that actually reviewed Max Crosby's knee. He had done the surgeries for Patrick LaHombs and Malik neighbors as well. He was the one that didn't pass and some people were wondering, oh, because he reviewed it was he tried to get the Cowboys back in on it. That's not the case at all. But it was he was one of the doctors to look at. Yeah, so the speculations fun, right? And it is interesting to think about those things. But maybe the truth is as simple. Maybe maybe he's not healing the way they expected him to be healing at this point. Maybe the meniscus still looks damaged in ways that I don't know. Where this really see blocks the Raiders though. Dan just brought up the Cowboys. They traded for Roshan Gary. A lot of these teams that were in line behind the Ravens. They already made their moves, spent their money. And so now Raiders lose their leverage. It's like dating some way. Wait, I started dating her. I didn't know you were still single. Yeah, it's a weird situation, man. A lot of moving parts. The Max Crosby drama is real.

The moment that broke yesterday, you're like, wait, what? So what happens now? I just like, and what happened so far is he's back with the Raiders until someone else bites and makes the move. He's already a maniac on the field. Can you imagine this chip on his shoulder? Oh my God. My takeaways. Max Crosby is going to be a man on a mission. Derosa doesn't know what that he's doing. And the third thing, we need to find a way to do a feature called buyers remorse. I got in the one. What is this? I don't know what it is. This has been a decade in the works. What's the right, you know, like we did it with Doug, didn't we? Yeah, we did it with Doug Gottley. It's been there, yeah. But like funny. It's better. Hey, it was my segment. It was my segment, your jerks. Oh, no. Oh, geez. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Wait, kind of just one more thing. Sorry if you guys mentioned this. Did you see the meme of the Ravens doctor being portrayed as Joe Burrow? He's like, no, it does not pass. No test. Can't do it. I like that because yes, that would make it extra tough on him. Joey Ford and, you know, speaking of coming back with a chip

on your shoulder, Rich, we sort of got it right because that's what Chino Smith was saying about his return to the Jets. He's saying, you know what? He's got a major chip on his shoulder and we'll see what happens. No, we have more CNR next on a way back Wednesday. Let's go. Hey, it's Kavino and Rich in sports and in life, timing is everything.
