Jay-Z is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in LA, and nobody in the studio is arguing he isn’t worthy. The sticking point is that he got to pick, and he picked himself. Covino wanted Miley Cyrus with a rock act as a special guest. Danny G explains why rap rarely translates to a stadium, and a Linkin Park cameo idea finally gets the whole room on board.
Junior Caminero’s 38-second home run trot sent the Rays to the World Series, and Covino has zero problem with it. His problem is Randy Arozarena and Tyler Glasnow watching from the stands while they’re on other teams’ payrolls. Dan Beyer flips it back on Covino before it’s over.
The Niners hang on against Washington to get to 6-0, and Rich makes the case that Kyle Shanahan carries more pressure than any coach in the league. Dan Quinn has two straight weeks of clock and down confusion to answer for. LeBron debuts with the Sixers at the Garden on the night the Knicks raise their banner, so Rich builds an opening night parlay around it.
Covino gets turned down for a simple photo at the Ozzy Osbourne premiere, and Rich declares Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown a skip like he does every October. Over in Milwaukee, a fan holding a $1,000 “timeless ticket” from 2015 wants the best seat in the house for the World Series.
