Got to talk about your boy Brock pie and I haven’t seen the world this divided since our last president no I’m just kidding I haven’t seen the world this divided since vaccines oh I haven’t seen the world this divided since uh clay Aken or Ruben stutter oh yeah that was

That was heated I’ll never forget that come on someone throw one out there I haven’t seen the world this divided since that’s a good one that’s a good one but Brock pie on whether or not he’s good like just yes and this has been going on for weeks now

For about a year actually because we just celebrated our P versary but just yesterday Shannon sharp talking about he’s the guy P’s his MVP he’s leading the league in specific categories he’s he’s making plays happen he’s MVP skip I mean I mean Stephen A I’m not even going to do my Shannon

Sharp here on FOX Sports radio but that was yesterday Shannon sharp he’s my imvp he’s doing everything right he’s doing what you expect from him and then right here on Fox Sports Radio stop it one of my favorite hosts here on Fox Sports Radio Rob Parker stop it he’s

Like a cake he’s like he was saying that Parker it’s like a cake the ingredients are all there it’s all mixed up and all you do is put it in the oven that’s what is right now yeah Brock pie is just putting it in the oven he didn’t do any

Of the steps needed he’s chees was hot granted he’s throwing the ball he’s making decisions and nobody could take that away from him he’s throwing the ball he’s making these plays happen he’s making the decisions he’s like the Draymond Green of the NFL if he didn’t have Stephen Clay he would

Never have one Championship stop it so that I mean listen Nick Wright on FS1 he’s the number one culprit yeah that was just yesterday so yet there like you said there’s people saying listen you don’t know football ball so in other words Rich you got one guy going this way one guy going

That way and I’m here in the middle like what do you want from me there’s Guy saying he don’t know football and I question like even Trent Williams I know he’s his teammate but he goes I question your knowledge of football if you can’t see what this guy’s doing and say he’s

MVP level but I want to take this in a slightly different place I want you to think of some of the players in any sport and you can include Fighters because I know Ali comes to mind who are the most confident borderline arrogant borderline braggadocious guys Ricky Henderson

Holding up the base I’m the greatest Prime Time Prime Time Deion Sanders Muhammad Ali you said it already Floyd Money Mayweather a lot of flash lot of Sizzle but also substance you need a little of both you need to be able to back it up you can’t

Be all Sizzle no substance that’s I would say to fits in that category oh yeah absolutely absolutely very flashy you know that’s the entertainment side of things remember Sports is entertainment it is and especially in the fight game like you said you got to sell these fights you can’t be boring

And expect to sell tickets I’ll be honest that’s that’s what sort of held back Canelo Alvarez for the early part of his career I used to tell cavino I go listen I watch a lot of boxing not with the Mexican fans but yeah you’re right but with the not with the Mexican fans

But there was a part of me it’s like here’s Canelo and when he tries to speak English I love the attempt he doesn’t speak with much like fiery passion and back then he never seemed like he was mad at his opponent I’m like that’s just not good

Hype for a fight no uh you know probably a little less confident with the language barrier at the time I think he’s come a long way since then but you’re right I mean you got to sell tickets you got to sell you got to sell yourself in sports

Sports is entertainment whether you like it or not now Brock pie mhm you could put him on the opposite end of the spectrum from Muhammad Ali Ricky Henderson Floyd Money Mayweather all the people we just mentioned Prime Time Deion Sanders Brock pie is doing the complete opposite by saying listen I

Mean we have an MVP team in fact uh I I think the MVP is Christian mcaffrey I like that though what do you want listen as a teammate yo for a guy on your team you’re like what a humble fella he doesn’t want to take any of the credit

He’s a team guy it’s like when you interview a player after a game and they made a sick play and they refuse to acknowledge it and they’re like hey man listen it was a team effort I get it but you don’t think sometimes saying all the right things is a little preconceived

And a little sometimes I what you’re saying is sometimes you need to be your own cheerleader and I do that believe me sometimes I’m My Own biggest cheerleader and I always say and I jokingly do this though I’m like look I’ll stop promoting the show and bragging about our show and

Telling people about our show when other people start doing it for me you know cuz that’s what I’m hoping to get I’m hoping to get to the point where people are like man have you heard cavino and richel Fox Sports Radio they are amazing because then I don’t have to say it

Right the world’s so divided on pry you know it’s such a weird situation for him to be in I think he should I think he should take some ownership of of the game he’s playing but at the same time man if he missteps he’s going to be crucified for

He’s going to be crucified for it because everybody’s so hard on him and like Rob Parker said yes I agree Rob Parker Rob Parker I do agree if you want to wash Rob Parker he has to win and that’s it I that’s what I was going to

Say maybe he’ll change his tune if they win but right now I think he’s playing the safe game and and the crazy part mon is that the people comp quote unquote uh competing against Brock py for the MVP Tyreek Hill banged up Dak just got smoked Jaylen Herz lost three in a row

Momes having won of his years so Lamar is in the mix but the reality is Brock Pie as the weeks pass the case is even stronger and rich is basically saying he needs to start campaigning for himself and I’m not saying he should be like yeah World guess what I’m Brock pie and

I’m the mother fing best like I don’t think he needs to say that but when asked about the MVP he was quick to say no no no you know who I think the MVP is uh I think Christian should be MVP to quote him he goes I really do believe

That he does everything for us and so in my eyes Christian mcaffry is the MVP and I agree with him listen it’s aelf answer and the here’s the problem with a guy like Brock pie I’ll claim it I said this before anyone else and that you know who

Says stuff like that uh Big Vanilla poppy on the weekends he loves to say he says things before everyone else I did say this a while back I said if he was Trey Lance the conversation would be so different because that would mean a number three pick

Turned out the way you thought a star a star stars stars but because he was the last pick in the draft we assume well he ain’t that good the Niners just make him look good if this was Trey Lance we would absolutely be saying oh it’s I

Mean look the Niners nailed it they nailed they picked them third overall franchise changer he’s in a position where you have to prove yourself at least to the public so the public sitting there it’s it’s like you know we’re all the kings we’re we’re hold waiting to see if he’s going to survive

Or not either giving the thumbs up or the thumbs down like you’re walking Phoenix in the the gladi yeah but he only gets that thumbs up from the public when he wins a Super Bowl otherwise he’s still that guy and I’m giving him a thumbs down if he was it’s just how it’s

Just how the world works it’s it doesn’t mean it’s fair it just is what it it is s o c KS spell out so spell it’s socks in Spanish is what it is s o c KS s o c KS it is what it is and

You like that don’t you m it was like spell socks and medas I was like what no s o c no yeah I got it after it is what it is and if he were Trey Lance we’d be having such a different conversation about wow John Lynch and

Shanahan they picked the right guy MVP but because it’s Brock pie who is like option number three or even four at times hey man that it they they’re playing football it’s a game of stats but that applies to everything in life you know when someone else gets a shot

And that guy doesn’t come from this crazy pedigree or background you know that dude’s going to have to work three times harder to prove himself as opposed to the Hot Shot who has that reputation or that family name or everything else where it’s expected you know well I’ll

Give you I’ll give you an example now I don’t want to get into politics because that just divides people but that was what was short so Brock pie but that was sort of what was shocking to people you know a handful of years ago when Barack Obama became president politics aside

I’m not talking about policy I’m talking about how he got there it was shocking to people that like whoa whoa whoa he beat Hillary Clinton the primar huh social worker guy the guy from Chicago the GU whose name at the time you’re like wait what’s his name again

Oh wow he he beat the Clinton Legacy to beat Hillary to get the ticket like when someone comes from more out of nowhere so again it’s nothing against Brock you you just have to work extra hard to prove yourself and and there is a sentiment the only thing I will back up

The Brock see I don’t want to back up any Brock py hater but their AR the best argument they can make is it’s not even the best player on the team what in the MVP but isn’t he doing everything he could in the leadership position of quarterback I agree Trent Williams might

Be the best player on the team what he does right Debo samuo when he was hurt the ners were missing something Christian mcaffrey is arguably the the most versatile player in the last 25 years of the NFL and then you got auk who plays Away George KD the vibe he

Brings second best tight end arguably behind Kelsey where but what more could Brock pry do nothing and I think he’s playing it 100% right although we’d like to see him maybe say yo you guys are doubting me and and I’m doing everything like what good would he get out of that

Although we want to see a little push back he would get crucified like Monty said and he could do all of that and he could be boastful and he could be confident he can say all those things on the field and when all said and done at

The parade then he could drop his mic and say what he wants when they win oh do you think he has a line writing for and guess what in world who all you who doubted me all year could lick my no nanny nanny poof poof to you and he

Drops his mic and he walks off and that’s what he says nanny nanny poof with cavino let me let me ask you let ask a real question besides the instead of number three overall he was Mr Irrelevant which just adds to the story but you know does hurt him as far as

Getting credit yeah do you think also working against him is that everything about him from quiet not very big white dude from Iowa that’s that’s not like very loud and he’s to himself and he’s religious like like there’s nothing about him that’s like bam in your face like he’s like a a humble

Small town he also wears Costco clothes yeah and he and he like yeah this nothing flashy or like cool about him really I I like him cuz he’s my quarterback but Brock pie if W if he walked into uh you know the Walgreens down the block if you weren’t a football

Fan You’ be like oh this a regular white dude yeah and I think anything that people can use against him they’re using against him right now yeah until he wins the Super Bowl I think that’s when things will change that’s the only way it’s the only way is it fair no but

Life’s not fair yeah like I said that that applies to to anybody we’ve seen so many movies about this so many stories told where that guy’s leading the company that guy by the way really quick Monty I I wish you were right about that but they had a topic on speak a few

Weeks ago and half the panel said even if the Niners win a Super Bowl they’re not going to give party all the credit for that so they’re still going to be people questioning him even if the ners win at all let me tell you that speak will have a different show saying

Otherwise at that point it’s that’s wild to me all right let’s go it’s impossible impossible because then you’re going to sound like the dumb one we give so much credit to a quarterback on Super Bowl Super Bowl ring changes everything yeah and he’s gotten better like he has

Actually gotten better this year before our eyes this is going to be such a good test case yeah as we’re going to see well you know who I think I I I might have missed if this was mentioned but you know who chimed in and supported

Brock pie here Tom Brady oh and you would have thought you know when Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl it’s like yeah well you know it’s that’s more of a running defense team and that that is true the early Patriots but look what Tom Brady became I’m just so fascinated

And listen I hope this conversation goes to the next level because that means my team will have won a Super Bowl for the first time since I was a teenager so let’s go Niners let’s go to your phone calls Chris in Georgia you’re on with

Cavin on Rich Brock pie do you like The Humble I’m not saying routine because I think it’s who he is but what do you think about the humble routine he’s a he’s a an if he wins by the way seems this is children’s stories are made out

Of yeah I’m going to proba add this to the my pile of books like the Guff uh you know there’s a monster at the end of again the guy I mean Where the Red Fern Grows I I say Canelo Alvarez is also one of those imagine being a a redheaded

Mexican kid that everyone bullied and made fun of and then you’re the hero of all the Mexican people you’re it’s a story of Rudolph the rednose reindeer has he ever you thought about reaching out to Canelo to write a children’s book about his story I have but he doesn’t respond

To my DMs uh but the same thing with Brock pie a guy that was overlooked he’s Mr Irrelevant and he has the chance to win a Super Bowl this is what dreams and children’s stories are made of man well we still got we still got some steps to

Get there but as a ners fan I am cautiously optimistic as I said earlier if they don’t win this year I don’t know when they’ll win because there’s so many backup quarterbacks as teams that lost stars and the Eagles and Cowboys both look vulnerable like the Niners might

Have their most legitimate chance in 25 years all right Chris Georgia you’re on with CNR what’s up buddy hey so I like the humbleness of Brock birdie now but if we’re talking about MVP you take out Christian mcaffrey those were all of Brock P’s losses Lamar

Can win without a cast around him yeah I listen I can’t argue you I think Lamar Jackson is more of a force like you’re right Brock isn’t it really Debo though Rich that he needs if mcaffrey does all the heavy lifting but Debo just gives the Niners another layer of defensive

Confusion on the other side of the ball like I feel like he won that game against the Eagles for you you know what it is because you on any given play you’re like could they sweep the ball with Debo could he run it could he catch a little quick little slant like what

Could Debo do and I think that throws off every other defense and you know add that with mcaffrey and then you forget KD auk this 49ers team is pretty stacked yeah it’s a fun team to watch P’s the uh the story of the uh ugly duckling kind of when do

You think about it you really want to ride children’s you know there’s a there’s a quarterback named Brock and he you know he wanted to be one of the greats but he was just a little runt who wasn’t really great at anything but he’s he’s good at everything and they voted

Him Mr Irrelevant and then he blossomed into this Champion what a story give me a break Brock but Brock so again he doesn’t have to boast the story writes itself at that point is my point but Brock you don’t have the arm of Justin Herbert I know you don’t have the speed

Of Lamar Jackson guess what he’s a swan at the end of the day but Brock you are pretty good at everything though I know it’s a great story write so so in other words he doesn’t have to say it himself the story is being written and

We’re all going to remember it if and when he wins
