Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. Aaron Judge’s Big Moment & the “Goalpost” Criticism

Timestamps: [01:02]–[13:05], [25:46]–[27:01], [39:07]–[39:40]

• Judge’s Home Run Heroics: Covino and Rich celebrate Aaron Judge’s pivotal postseason home run, comparing it to legendary moments like Carlton Fisk’s 1975 blast.

  • “That was like a Carlton Fisk moment. Everything about that moment from a baseball perspective was awesome. The call, the camera shot, the zoom in on Aaron Judge right before the pitch… the moment, everything—the crowd—I loved it.” – Covino [04:36]

• Media & Fan Criticism: The hosts mock those who repeatedly move the benchmark for Judge, never satisfied with his contributions.

  • “You can’t criticize the MVP of the league by saying, ‘Oh, he only does it when it doesn’t matter. He needs a big moment.’ Then he gets a huge moment and now all of a sudden it doesn’t matter until he does it again. That’s called moving the goalpost.” – Covino [25:57]

• Statistical Defense: They note Judge’s strong postseason numbers, arguing the “no big moments” narrative is overblown.

  • “Judge has had 17 postseason home runs… His postseason stats are better than Shohei Otani’s, and Shohei is a hero, but Aaron Judge is a nobody?” – Covino [11:51]

• Kids & Baseball Fandom: They reflect on how young fans are witnessing a new golden age of postseason heroes.

  • “How cool is it to see all these heroes stepping up, all these big names? We haven’t seen names like this in the postseason since we were kids, man. And that’s why it brings out so much fun here…” – Covino [13:06]

2. Alternate Uniforms in the MLB Postseason

Timestamps: [05:44]–[07:16], [13:30]–[13:52]

• Uniform Traditions: Some of the crew are traditionalists when it comes to playoff uniforms, voicing their distaste for alternates in big games.

  • “I said, you know, I love it during the season, but why are the Mariners wearing like a navy road jersey? I want—they should be wearing the road grays right now.” – Rich [06:06]

• Memorable Visuals: Alternative jerseys create odd visuals for long-term memories (ie., LeBron’s iconic 2016 block in an alternate Cavs uniform).

  • “These are the things that live on forever—the clips live on. If you’re not wearing your traditional jerseys, it’s sort of odd.” – Covino [06:55]

---

3. The Ethics and Etiquette of ‘Razzing’ in Sports Fandom

Timestamps: [14:01]–[19:59], [21:11]–[24:10], [35:01]–[35:26], [41:44]–[42:06]

• What is ‘Razzing’? The hosts reflect on the culture of ribbing, trash talk, and memes around sports—debating whether it’s fun camaraderie or juvenile trolling.

  • “Is it fun camaraderie? Is it what friends do? Is it just sports talk?... I tune out. I say, no, I’m allergic to it. I don’t like it. I don’t play those baby games.” – Covino [14:48]

• Good-Natured vs. Mean-Spirited: They argue there’s a difference between playful teasing among friends and hostile taunting.

  • “If a friend does it good-natured and is still supportive of you…that’s OK. But when people are just sitting there waiting to press enter on a mean message…just, yes.” – George [15:22]

• Tolerance Varies: Some ignore razzing, others keep “mean stuff in the holster” if provoked.

  • “I want to get mean…One more time, dude, I might say something about your mama. So relax on that.” – Covino [16:21]

• Maturity and Perspective: Both hosts admit they’ve become more mature and even want to see friends’ teams do well, something others find “too mature.”

  • “Like, I’ll be honest, if my team's not in it...I want to see one of you guys happy...I know that sounds like, like, overly mature sport.” – Rich [17:50]
  • “It’s way too mature.” – Dan Byer [17:55]

• Personal Stories: Rich tells a humorous but painful story about his family taunting him after a Niners loss with Packers-themed balloons.

  • “Imagine you go back to your house after the Raiders had a big loss to the Chiefs and like a family member who put yellow and red balloons in your room.” – Covino [23:51]

---

4. Bill Belichick’s North Carolina Fiasco

Timestamps: [27:03]–[34:10], [36:33]–[38:55]

• Buyout Rumors: The show discusses reports that Belichick is contemplating a buyout already in his first college season, and what that means for his legacy.

  • “To me, the willingness to even be open to that shows me that his heart’s not in it to begin with. And that was questionable from the start.” – Covino [29:48]

• Systemic Issues: They point out the difficulty of managing modern college players, transfer portals, and mismatched staff personalities.

  • “He thought it was going to be way easier…None of these coaches get along. All these kids…have no chemistry. All these new kids from the transfer portal—it’s a lot to handle.” – Covino [36:58]

• Does It Hurt His Legacy? Some debate whether this North Carolina stint will even be a historical footnote.

  • “Is it so short-lived…that we won’t even think about it [in] his legacy?” – Rich [38:38]
  • “He’s creating footnotes that you have to be like, ‘Oh, look at how it ended…’ But it won’t affect him.” – Danny G [41:27]

• Relatable Moments: The conversation segues into quitting jobs quickly, with several hosts sharing their own “one day on the job” horror stories.

  • “I think I had a job one day at UPS and I was like, yeah, right, dude, I’m not showing up the next day…” – Covino [33:27]

---

5. Other Sports Storylines & Notable Updates

Timestamps: [27:03]–[27:45], [40:54]–[42:06]

• NFL Injury News: Updates on Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Kyler Murray (Cardinals), and Brock Purdy (49ers) missing practice, plus the Browns' QB dilemma.
• Joe Flacco Trade: Noted as being sent to the Bengals, Flacco is named Week 6 starter [28:02].

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Aaron Judge Critics:
  “If his only criticism was he didn’t have a big, big moment yet, and then he did—what, now he has to have another one?” – Covino [12:09]
• On Sports Razzing:
  “So you come at me with this one too many times, I got some mean stuff in the holster for you…I might say something about your mama. So relax on that.” – Covino [16:21]
• Dan Byer’s Honesty:
  “I don’t want any of my friends happy… I may not rub it in their faces, but I don’t know if I’m necessarily cheering for their success.” – Dan Byer [17:56]
• Family Trolling:
  “My mother and brother had yellow and green balloons blown up for the Packers in my room…I don’t want to be in this family ever.” – Rich [23:37]
• On Belichick’s College Move:
  “Turns out to be a harder job than he thought, and he bit off more than he could chew. So yeah, he’s willing to take that money. Instead, he’s getting embarrassed.” – Covino [37:50]

5.

[Covino]

We got four big games today. There's one going on right now. All tied up. Aaron Judge is a hero. Oh, geez. And props to Count Raleigh too. Props to the Mariners for their big win yesterday. But man, the Yankees can't wait to see what happens today with Schlitler on the mound. But how do you say his name? Schlitler?

[Rich]

Not like big Poppy who awkwardly was like Hitler. It's like, what are you doing? What are we doing? Yeah, Hilarious.

[Covino]

Bad joke, Poppy. And we'll be right back after the break. Poppy. No one else laughed.

[Danny G]

Everyone on the set laughed at it.

[Covino]

And join us on YouTube. There's a live chat going on. Join in some smack.

[Rich]

Hold on. My alarm's going off. I'm like Derek Jeter. Oh, sorry. I had parent teacher conference. Did you see that too?

[Covino]

I did.

[Rich]

First time. He looked like a human being. I was like, oh, wow, Jeter's not a robot.

[Covino]

I think Poppy Jeter a rod. And our former colleague, the guy with the biggest BDE we ever seen. Kevin Burkhart do a stellar job together.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And we worked with Burkhart back at SNY in New York in 2013, 2014, and he really did have noticeable swag. And he was always gracious and always cool. So no surprise that he's slaying it today.

[Rich]

A super talent.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Kevin Burkhart. And a guy that never let his success go to his head. If I text or dm, Kev, he'll hit me right back, like, hey, Kev. Kev.

[Covino]

Hey, Kev.

[Rich]

Tell Kove I said hi. Oh, look at that. W. Congrats to Kevin Burkhart for all success. But I do think that you're right. Big Poppy is sort of MLB's version version of Shaq.

[Covino]

That's right. I could be he. I could be he. And he even had nice things to say about the Yankees yesterday. Even Jeter said wonderful things about another captain, which is to see in Aaron Judge. So I hope he had an Aaron Judge home run double take kind of night. When I see double take. That was his subliminal way of saying, shut up, haters. Take a hike, you losers. Zip it. Anybody thinking that he wasn't the guy, if you thought he wasn't him, he is. And if I ever give you a double take, that's what I'm telling you. Beat it, loser.

[Rich]

We're going to get to Aaron Judge. We're going to get to NFL. We're going to get to a guy that grew two inches.

[George]

Whoa.

[Covino]

Where? That was me after that home run last night. I was so excited, man. I thought he was gonna knock that foul pole down.

[Rich]

Whoa.

[Covino]

I was so pumped.

[George]

Got on a step stool in your living room.

[Covino]

Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah, that's it.

[Rich]

Kavito had his own foul Paul after that.

[Covino]

Yeah. But seriously, I was so pumped. And I don't care if you like the Yankees or not, because I'll give props where they're due. Vladimir Guerrero, on the flip side, is doing everything he can to lift his team, that dive to home plate. He got airtime. He was airborne. That big slug was in the air for at least two minutes. Safe at home, getting his team fired up. The Blue Jays are battling. And if you can't give credit to Aaron Judge turning his hands on that inside fastball, coming in at 100 miles per hour, a foot inside, turning and hitting a home run. That was like a Carlton Fisk moment. Everything about this is all I have to say. Everything about that moment from a baseball perspective was awesome. The call, the camera shot, the zoom in on Aaron Judge right before the pitch, that look in his eye, the moment, everything, the crowd, I loved it. It was so cool, man. So cool to see. And that's the beauty of the postseason go season.

[Rich]

Baseball was that Joe Davis making that call.

[Covino]

Yeah, it was. Yeah.

[Rich]

You know me, I, I love to swing from the Mets broadcast team. Gary, Keith and Ron. But Joe Davis, I think might be your best play by play baseball. The Dodgers lucked out in getting Joe Davis, and he's a young dude. He's. He's in his, I believe, late 30s still. So congrats to Joe Davis on. Really paint a great picture. And Vlad's grand slam. Judges three run, home run. These are the great postseason moments we live for, and these are the moments we remember visually, audibly. And I gotta ask Dan Buyer, because I know Dan Byer is a rich Davis guy these days. What's up, D.B.

[Covino]

Oh, believe me.

[Dan Byer]

What up, bud?

[Covino]

It's temporary. You can only take so much of it.

[Rich]

He's grading to the ears. Dan, I'll grade on you by the end of today. You and I both have a big interest on in uniforms. Helmets, end zones, stadium design. Like it's our little sports quirk. How do you feel about. And I am not a traditionalist with most things in sports. I usually like evolution and change. I feel like a lot of times it's good. Do you like alternate uniforms in the playoffs? No, dude, we're the same guy. I said, I'm watching the game now, and I'm like. And I said, you know, I love it during the season, but why are the Mariners wearing like a Navy road jersey? I want the. They should be wearing the road grays right now.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, I agree with that. Like, what I don't mind is so like the Rose bowl, when it was the Rose Bowl, I remember when Purdue made it, they would have a little rose through the P logo on their helmet. Utah did the same thing. And like, there's little things that you can do there. But to sit there and say we're going to wear our road black uniforms, the alternates in a, in a huge game, because you want to be tough and mean. No, just wear your normal uniforms.

[Rich]

Yeah, I always think of one of the most memorable moments in NBA history. LeBron James with that block off the backboard. The Cavs are wearing their weird alternate jerseys with the big C on them.

[Covino]

I was just going to say that's the reason, because these are the things that live on forever. The clips live on. And if you're not wearing your traditional jerseys, it's sort of odd.

[Rich]

Looking back, I think if it's close enough, I don't care as much. Now, I know you guys eliminated the Red Sox, but you know, the Red Sox with that hideous uniform once In a while was like yellow and blue or something. Like, it just doesn't go with anything.

[Covino]

City connect. Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

With their softball shorts.

[Rich]

Yeah. I just feel like in those moments.

[Covino]

What are we doing?

[Rich]

And by the way, I don't want to steal Dan Byers update Thunder, but db, Take a look. See?

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. The Tigers have just taken a 4 nothing lead or 43 lead. Riley Green coming back from a 3 nothing deficit.

[Covino]

And again, another wonderful thing about the postseason. It's not just the Aaron Judges and the Cal Rawlies that have to come through. And I believe Jeter made that point. Everyone given Judge a hard time. He was batting.400 something. Now he's batting.500 something is still not good enough. It takes the whole team. It takes the role players. You got Green here doing something big. You got Ernie Clement on the Blue Jays playing like he's an mvp. You got these dudes stepping up, and that's what these teams need. You need your Edmonds, you need your, you know, Kik Hernandez to step up. You need those dudes. And that's part of it. And that's the fun of it. And we hope you're enjoying it as much as we are, because last night, between Cal Raleigh going off and between Aaron Judges almost foul home run.

[Rich]

I mean, I don't know. I'm still Cal Raleigh for mvp. Considering he hit his home run to a guy that had a shirt that said, hit your home run here.

[Covino]

Yeah, dump it here.

[Rich]

Dump it, dump it here.

[Covino]

Number 60, that was pretty remarkable. But, you know, you gotta love this stuff. And we'll talk more about it as the day goes on. Aaron Judge is coming through big. That really was the story. And if you're still hating on it or. Or moving the goalposts like that wasn't a big moment. Oh, what kind of big moment happens in the alds? I mean, beat it, dude. Tell me you hate Aaron Judge without telling me you hate Aaron Judge. That was a big moment. Does it mean less if they don't move forward? Yeah, of course. But that was still a moment to shut everybody up. The guy's batting over.500 now, so stop hating.

[Rich]

It'll mean even more of the Yankees somehow win tonight, force a game five, and who knows?

[Covino]

And it's a bullpen game for the Blue Jays. So I'm thinking, and I'm not one to get ahead of myself, Rich. I'm thinking that they have a great shot with Schlitler on the mound tonight to win it, force it back to Toronto and take the Yankees Blue Jays out of it. I want game fives for everybody. Let's go.

[Rich]

You get a Game 5, you get a Game 5. We all get Game 5.

[Covino]

Why wouldn't we want that? MLB wants that. TV ratings. Everybody wants it. Concessions wants it. It's fun for everybody.

[Dan Byer]

I do have a question for Cavino, though.

[Covino]

Yeah?

[Dan Byer]

Because for a team like the Yankees, who pride themselves in the 27 World Championships, I felt that last night, people are trying to make this the moment for Aaron Judge. It was a moment. But did you get the sense at all that people were going overboard in trying to make it the moment for Judge to cement his legacy?

[Covino]

I feel you. I do. I totally feel you. And here's why I say no. Because we love and I love. And I think everyone who's a baseball fan should love Aaron Judge that much. He's such a likable dude that you're just pulling for him to have his big moment because you know how great he is, you know what he's capable of.

[Rich]

And.

[Covino]

And I think he double took at the camera and pointed because he's like, I am that guy. And we all want him to be that guy. So maybe we are making more of a moment. But it was a key moment. Yankees were down 6 1. They tied it up. And then the yawning jazz Chisholm hits their first. Go ahead lead. Go ahead. Home run. And then what was the score, Rich? Then what was.

[Rich]

I will say this, though, to back with DB saying, and I don't want to rain. I don't want to rain on your Aaron Judge parade of fun, but if I hope this doesn't happen for your sake and for baseball, but if the Blue Jays win tonight, Yankees lose the series three one. And whoop it, a new Judge hit a three run home run. But I think that was his biggest criticism. But I think for a guy. Let me finish. For a guy whose only real criticism has been, well, dude, Aaron Judge is a hall of Famer already, legend, a beast, you know, one of the top, probably 20 players of all time, maybe even better. Aaron Judge is making his way.

[Covino]

You're about to move the goalpost again.

[Rich]

No, but what I'm saying is he hasn't had any signature big moment. So I think this is a great first signature big moment. Now you need more than that. You need a.

[Covino]

Okay, so you're moving a goalpost. So now it's he. Now he needs five signature moments.

[George]

You know, it's kind of surprising. This reminds me of how people were moving the goalposts on Purdy on your boy Rich? A little bit, yeah. Judge has had 17 postseason home runs. You would not think that the way you tuned into sports talk.

[Covino]

I would have thought he was batting over.400. His postseason stats are better than Shohei Otani's. And Shohei is a hero, but Aaron Judge is a nobody. So zero.

[Rich]

He's a zero.

[Covino]

So if the biggest.

[George]

I wouldn't say that, Kovina. I just think people make it seem like he has not hit many home runs at all in the playoffs.

[Covino]

All right, I'm saying don't fall for this trap. If his only criticism was he didn't have a big, big moment yet, and then he did what? Now he has to have another one, and it makes you happy.

[Rich]

He can't do everything.

[Covino]

Out of my face.

[Rich]

He can't do everything. And he's not tragically bad in the playoffs. Like, remember when another one. A Rod, at one point, clearly was just not the same guy in the postseason. And I always thought it was interesting. Like, what was that? Remember when Kirk Cousins just couldn't win a primetime game and he got that reputation? Aaron Judge isn't some guy that goes oh for four in every postseason game. It just. The Yankees, with Judge as their team leader, haven't really gone that far in the playoffs. And maybe the moment just wasn't there for him. But last night was the first big one. I think it's a step in the right direction. I don't think it's like, wow, Aaron Judge can't be called, you know?

[Covino]

Yeah, he still has to win a World Series, and I get all that, too. But, Rich, put yourself in a little kid's shoes right now. You know, the ones that light up and they're all excited about it sometimes.

[Rich]

Little wheels on the bottom.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Put yourself in some little kids shoes. How cool is it to see all these heroes stepping up, all these big names? We haven't seen names like this in the postseason since we were kids, man. And that's why it brings out so much fun here on the show and in all of us. So many young superstars stepping up, so many big names in the playoffs, so many great teams. And if you're a little kid, how could you not be swept into this?

[Rich]

So, by the way, speaking of those. Speaking of those alternate jerseys. Yeah. Dan by her. Your brewers, who got a runner on second, are rocking the old school helmets and their alternate navy. And I guess you say yellow gold.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. Yeah. This says, I don't mind this look. This is a little bit more. More natural.

[Rich]

Yeah, I thought The Blue Jays hats.

[Dan Byer]

Last night looked out of place. They had the white because they, you know, the white ones. I more took that for their home games when they would wear their all white uniforms.

[Covino]

Now speaking of all the smack talk and the back and forth talk and the moving of the goal posts and whatever spin you want to put on these things, how do you feel? Rich, I have a question for you and the Fox Sports Radio Nation. How do you feel about the razzers? Is that what you would call it? People that love to. No, really, really good website. No, not that.

[Rich]

Razors.

[Covino]

My bad.

[Rich]

Sorry you're thinking that.

[Covino]

Yeah, I said Raz R, not B. Raz. What do you think about people? Let's say I have Blue Jays fans, friends, Blue Jays friends, or your all.

[Rich]

Your floppy headed teen eating Canadians and.

[Covino]

They'Re hitting you up in your DMs or sending you a text message with the nanny nanny poof poofs. And like, yeah, your Yankees suck. You're going down tonight.

[Rich]

You still go poof poof, huh?

[Covino]

Nanny nanny poo poo. What do you feel about razzing? Is it fun camaraderie? Is it what friends do? Is it just sports talk? Is it just how we behave as guys? Because I tune out. I say, no, I'm allergic to it. I don't like it. I don't play those baby games.

[Rich]

No razzle dazzle.

[Covino]

I wish your team good. I wish your team. Danny, have I ever razzed you about your Dodgers? Never. No.

[George]

And vice versa, right?

[Covino]

Like, I think that's the weakest bs or is it? I think it's fun and I take it too personal.

[George]

I think Rich would agree with this. If a friend does it like good natured and is still supportive of you and your fandom of your team, but it's just letting you have it and you can give it back a little bit, that's okay. But when people are just sitting there waiting to press enter on a mean message they want to send you, just.

[Rich]

Yes. You know, Danny, I always do engage with Razzie people, walk among.

[Danny G]

Among us.

[Covino]

I ignore it, guys. I'm too, I'm too big for it. I'm like, get out of here. I wish your team well, but get out of my face with your little nanny nanny poof.

[Rich]

I also not only do. It's like, I'm too big for this. I'm too like, I'm too mature for this. I always, at the end of the day in my mind, I'm like, listen, I didn't play the Game. So you can only razz me so much. Like, I wasn't. I wasn't pitching for the Mets, or I was. I wasn't in the secondary for the 49ers. I wasn't the guy that you do.

[George]

Look like a punter for.

[Rich]

I didn't blow that coverage in the third quarter or something.

[Covino]

So I have so many people that try to razz me about my stankies and how they're going down and they suck. And Aaron Judge is overrated. I'm like, all right, dude.

[Rich]

And I'm not.

[Covino]

And I want to get mean. Like, I got some mean stuff in my back pocket. I'm like, one more time, dude, I might say something about your mama. So relax on that. You're a better man.

[Danny G]

You're a better man than most.

[Covino]

Yeah, right now I'm ignoring you because.

[Rich]

I don't play these baby games. I think razzing baby games. Razzing is fun. And I'll give you. I have the one rule and caveat here. I don't think it is one rule and caveat. Now, I think you'd be a hurtful jerk if for no reason. Let's just say the brewers, you know, somehow the Cubbies come back, and in Game 5, the brewers blow it. What are you gonna do? Called Dan Byr and be like, hey, man, what's the Brewer score? I missed it, but that's rat. Dad, you're an A hole. Yes, that's what I mean.

[Covino]

So you come at me with this one too many times. I got some mean stuff in the holster for you. I don't know if you want to go there. So am I the sports baby or are you the sports baby playing these weak ass games?

[Rich]

Oh, don't poke the COVID is what I'm getting at. I don't like.

[Covino]

I don't like the SP of razzing.

[Dan Byer]

Why you keep pointing to me? I've never razzed you at all. Except about forgetting my team completely.

[George]

Never.

[Covino]

Never. Is that a form of razzing? Just ignoring them entirely? I don't think any. We're all professionals. Any of us here have razzed each other.

[Rich]

I almost feel like Dan Byer and I are almost too mature about our Niners Seahawks relationship.

[Covino]

Not about our teams, about each other. We. We ra each other.

[Rich]

Personally, I think as. As we get older, and not to sound like a mature, but as we get older, you know, sports are such a great escape, and sports are something that bring us joy. Like, I'll be honest, if my team's not in it.

[Covino]

Don't.

[Rich]

I want to see one of you guys happy. Like, I mean, I know that sounds like, like, overly mature sport.

[Dan Byer]

It's way too mature.

[Rich]

You're not supposed to have.

[Dan Byer]

I don't want any of my friends happy. I'm not gonna razz them. I just don't want them to have the success of their teams winning.

[Rich]

You just keep it inside.

[Dan Byer]

Yes. Yes.

[Covino]

Dude. I even have some of Rich's. Rich's high school friends who are Mets fans like him will razz me about the Yankees.

[Rich]

I'm like, shut.

[Covino]

I get up.

[Danny G]

I get tired of the tribalism and, like, just territorial people being territorial and stuff. I just am more like, these are your teams and I support you. You're my friend.

[Rich]

Yeah, but I think we're weirdos for that. Sam. Honestly, if you were an Iowa State fan, I'd be like, go to hell.

[Dan Byer]

But then we. I get out.

[Rich]

I guess I was. Sam, I think we're too mature. I think this is. You know, sometimes most people are trolls. No, but you know how sometimes when you and your friends have the same trait, you justify each other? Like in the 2000s, Kavino and I, like, you cheat on your girlfriend. So do I. No, like, when you have bad traits, but your friends have the same bad traits, you're almost like, what? Okay, he does it. I think we're a little too mature.

[Danny G]

Better than that.

[Rich]

We're a little too mature. I was Sam, because I think that we are irrational with sports. I heard our pal KFC on barstool saying how that's sort of the problem with politics, where we now treat politics the way you treat sports. His analogy was, even when the Yankees were in the World Series, he's a Mets fan. So he's like, yankees suck. He's like, I know Yankees don't suck, but, like, you're irrational as a fan. And we've sadly become that way. Us versus them with politics. Us versus them. And it's a great point, but truthfully, Covino, if my team is playing yours, I think there's a little razzing allowed. But I have no stock in the Blue Jays, so why would I want the Blue Jays, who I don't care at all about, to make you unhappy.

[Covino]

Thank you, Rich Destiny, for our approach here.

[Dan Byer]

That's where you guys go above and beyond. And not knowing you guys as long as you guys have known each other, that's what's always surprised Cavino, the business. For what he did to me two years ago when the Seahawks lost to The Rams. Cavino's opening. Hope you have a Raiders met. Sort of is like a, hey, I hope you had a great weekend like my buddies did.

[Covino]

What do I say? I hope all your teams won.

[Dan Byer]

That was so foreign to me.

[Rich]

Like it?

[Dan Byer]

Like it. It was. Not that I would root against the Raiders or root against your Yankees or. Or Mets by any means. However, wanting your buddies to win, I may not rub it in their faces, but I don't know if I'm necessarily cheering for. For what? You know, their success.

[Rich]

Well, if you're in Detroit, you're probably cheering gas. Javi Baez just went yard. Two run. Darn.

[Covino]

Yeah. Let me bring the razzle dazzle to my Mariners friends.

[Dan Byer]

I will also say this because you probably don't have the brewers game on, since it doesn't matter to Covino in the studio. They're up one nothing.

[Rich]

Heading to the bottom play today. I don't know. Dano, put on the Home Shopping Network.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, I said turn this off.

[Covino]

Actually, you got all your games today, and we break them down as the day goes on. So the question here, based on all the fun and the back and forth Razors, are they lame or not? Do you play that game? Is that just part of the fun? What are your thoughts on that? You can hit us up at Covino and Rich, and then every Wednesday we do something called Midweek Major. So Spotty's on standby waiting just to say hi, and he's going to give you all the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. And we decide here on the show, are these stories mid week or major? Are they buns? Are they peak stories? Well, break it down.

[Rich]

You know, interestingly enough, I think when it's done in spite again, Camino, there's a part of me that wants to get, like, mean.

[Covino]

There's some people that can get away with it, right? But some people make. I don't know you that well.

[Rich]

I have a story that I'll share real briefly, but I like for my Met fan friends today, you know what they said? I got a text, like, today could be a great day. Yankees and Phillies could both be eliminated. And I'm like, our Mets lost. Like, we're we. What do we care? In my mind, I said, guys, it's so immature, though.

[Covino]

It's like, you suck. So you love to see other people fail.

[Rich]

But that's George. Why are we pretending?

[Covino]

No, because that's also a sign of character and life. It's like, you stink. So you want to see other people but that's.

[Rich]

Why do you think people get in fist fights at stadiums? Like, you think that's by accident?

[George]

You ever see crabs in a bucket? If we're down, we're going to pull. We're going to pull you down.

[Covino]

It's a bigger mentality. It's a bigger picture. It's like.

[Rich]

So I said to the guys, I go, truthfully, guys, I mean, for the good of baseball. No, it'd probably be good. I don't know, Phillies and Yankees winning. Just, just so that baseball has game fours and fives. Like, what do you want to see? Sweeps. And they're like, what type of fan are you? I go, I'm sorry. I don't know what you want to tell you, but I remember when I was a kid, Dan Byer. This would have drive you insane. I'm surprised I've forgiven my mother and my brother for this.

[Covino]

Oh, boy.

[Rich]

I was with my high school girlfriend and this is around the time when the Niners, their feud with the Cowboys had sort of a little bit in the rear view. It had been when Steve Young and Brett Favre were going at it. That's when the packers had their couple year run. They won a Super Bowl. Then they lost to the Broncos. The Niners couldn't get past the packers for a couple years. I remember watching at my girlfriend's house miserable. She consoled me. Babe, my Niners lost. I drove my little, my Plymouth Acclaim home. My first car. I went up to my childhood bedroom. My mother and brother had yellow and green balloons blown up for the packers in my room. I think I told them off. Disrespectful to my mom. Probably f you, F you. F all you. And I slammed my door. Are. And I'm like, I don't. I don't want to be in this family ever.

[Dan Byer]

I don't love you.

[Rich]

I don't love you guys. I wish I was adopted. Can you imagine that?

[Danny G]

You sabotage.

[Rich]

Imagine you go back to Danny. Imagine like you went back to your house after the Raiders had a big loss to the Chiefs. And, and like a family member who put yellow and red balloons in your room.

[Covino]

By the way, you have a family full of clowns with balloons on standby.

[Rich]

My uncle Bozo, helium tank.

[Covino]

No, seriously, like, they had to like have thought this out. Green. And that's just extra cruel.

[Rich]

They probably went out of their way to go to party city.

[Dan Byer]

Something.

[Danny G]

Yeah, let's troll Rich. Who's in our family. You should not be getting it at home like that.

[Covino]

No, really, just to rub it in. I'm with you on that, Rich. So your thoughts on razors midweek major. Plus, we have some other things to get to on the show, of course.

[Covino]

Yo, it's Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. And the reminder is don't be an Escobar. What's an Escobar? The guy talking smack about me razzing me about my Yankees on our YouTube live chat.

[Rich]

See, I think you're being sensitive now because I'm looking at the chat. All Escobar said was, I love how Covino's peacocking now that Aaron Judge has finally done something.

[Covino]

Peacocking?

[Rich]

You came in here like you can't.

[Covino]

Criticize the MVP of the league by saying, oh, he only does it when it doesn't matter. He needs a big moment, then he gets a huge moment and now all of a sudden it doesn't matter until he does it again. That's called moving the goalpost. Then you know what? You should have said, blabbermouth from the start. He needs to do it in the World Series or he needs to do it in the alcs. You can't just change it every time he shuts you up.

[Rich]

I'm well aware of changing the goalpost and moving it because as Danny G. Pointed out, that was Brock Purdy for like two years.

[Covino]

Judge needs a big mom gets a huge moment.

[Rich]

It's not big enough.

[Covino]

Shut your pie hole.

[Rich]

And then he. And then Escobar said, P.S. cal Riley for MVP. And then west at Idaho hit us up. Our buddy west said, well, now live streaming at you guys because the Mariners decided to suck, by the way. That game got out of control. It was 3, 3. Then it was 4, 3, 8, 3. Now in the bottom of the seventh, Detroit unloading your old Yankee hit a bomb.

[Covino]

Labor of love and it's fun to see. Like I said, all these moments are huge regardless of the team. We're watching great base and we gotta kick it to Dan Byer because it's some big news.

[Rich]

Yeah, let's get an Update. What's up, DB?

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, you guys hit the baseball. Tigers up 8. 3. Michael Bush led off the Cubs brewers game in the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run to pull the Cubs even. Cubs have runners at the corners right now with one out in that game three. Milwaukee leads it two games to none, but tied up at one apiece. Still playing in the bottom of the first inning at Wrigley. No practice today for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray missed practice with a foot injury. He's considered day to day, and Niners quarterback Brock Purdy didn't today. Neither did teammates, wide receivers Juwan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Browns and coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn't name the backup quarterback for their Week 6 matchup against the Steelers, only to say that he'll have a decision later on this week if it's either Shador Sanders or Bailey Zappy.

[Sports Analyst JP]

I always have to be mindful of our players and our players development, and I want to make sure that I'm always doing what's best for our players and of course, our team. But, you know, with young players, I'm always thinking about last week making the change to Dillon. You have to think long and hard about that because these are young players that you're so invested in their development.

[Dan Byer]

Now, this decision came about because they traded Joe Flacco yesterday to the Bengals. Decision's been made in Cincinnati. Joe Flacco is going to start in Week six. Zach Taylor made the announcement today saying he's already faced the packers this season, so Flacco will get the start for the Bengals. And then there's this story from the Guardian. Ollie Connolly, who covers college and NFL action, reports that Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina. He's apparently had a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if find somewhere else to go, maybe another TV network, maybe another team. The report goes on to say that members of Belichick staff have already reached out to other schools that could be in the College Football Playoff to look for work to assist those schools during the playoffs in December and January. There are also reports of serious recruiting violations that remain under investigation by the school. Some of those have already been proven, yes. So Bill Belichick.

[Covino]

Wow, that says a lot, man.

[Rich]

That could be grand opening, grand closing.

[Dan Byer]

And then there's this part. Belichick. This was according to Ollie Connolly, Belichick's communication with his staff in the past two weeks has been described as weird and distant by multiple members of the staff. Multiple coaches were unable to get ahold of him during North Carolina's bye week.

[Covino]

Well, there's a lot of speculation on a lack of chemistry with his other coaches amongst the team because of all these different players. And to me, the willingness to even be open to that shows me that his heart's not in it to begin with. And that was questionable from the start. It's like, is this what you really want to do? Do you even have the energy to be recruiting young players and meeting with the parents and being that college rah rah sort of dude at this stage of your life?

[Rich]

I don't know.

[Covino]

And if he's so willing to take the buyout, I'm saying no. He probably was never really that into it to begin with.

[Dan Byer]

We talk about the bad years in New England of maybe hurting his legacy. This is atrocious. I mean, to what they've done there a lot of turnover on the roster. The kids there, I'm sure, are wondering, this is what I signed up for, right? The kids that aren't there anymore, dude, imagine, maybe it was their blessing in disguise.

[Covino]

Db, that's such a great point. I think about that, too. Think about this, Rich. The kids that thought this was going to be a great opportunity, right? I get to play for basically a football, a pro football level college football.

[Rich]

Team, but play for the greatest professional coach of all time.

[Covino]

And then to be let down like that.

[Rich]

Yeah, you're sort of let down. And you know the analogies, you could go, you could do a million. But it would really be like if like a Hall of Famer at the end of their career said, you know, I'm going to play in like some USFL or XFL team for a year.

[Covino]

And they had to think that this was like the 33rd NFL team. And now like the coach is ready to leave.

[Danny G]

They have like wins over an FCS team in Charlotte, like, they're really. They've been blown out three times, guys.

[George]

And then the other layer of this db what about Bill's son?

[Dan Byer]

I think he's a member of those people who are looking for different jobs at this point, because I don't think there's any connection.

[Covino]

Send them to express pros.com.

[Dan Byer]

What about Bill's girlfriend? What's her role in all of this?

[Rich]

I hate to speculate.

[Dan Byer]

Pretty big one, I think.

[Rich]

I mean, I mean, I think that that's the salacious part of it, but I just think there's just a lack of, like, I don't know, you know how, like, you know how you try to convince young kids that, I don't know, something used to be cool, and they're like, yeah, I don't know about that. Six, seven. Or they'll say some dumb crap. I just don't know if there's, like, Bill Belichick matter. I don't know if Bill Belichick matters to an 18 year old. Maybe, maybe not. I mean, it sounds ridiculous, but, I.

[Dan Byer]

Mean, I don't even think that's relevant because I think the kids that signed up, he did matter to them. And if you wanted to get to the National Football League, what better way than this guy who was considered the greatest coach that by some that we've ever seen in the NFL?

[Covino]

That's how I feel about it.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Major letdown.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, I agree.

[Rich]

I mean, again, I don't want to overdo the analogies, but, like, think of someone at the top of their game who is the greatest. Let's say when Dan Patrick retires, he really doesn't. And he's like, I'm just going to do a local radio show, and he just picks the smallest city. And like, no one cares. It's like, yeah, but you were like, if Howard Stern says, I'm raw, but I'm done with satellite, and then all of a sudden, Howard's on some random AM station with 2000 listene Danny's point.

[Dan Byer]

About Steve Belichick taking over the reins. What a lot of people suspected that this was just Belichick in a bit of a puppet regime to get his son the head coaching job. And now things have gone so bad.

[Rich]

You do anything for your kids.

[Covino]

Maybe the ultimate selfish move, then wasn't.

[Danny G]

It predicated on them being successful and then handing it over to Steve?

[Rich]

Right.

[Covino]

Yes, that's what we assume.

[Dan Byer]

But to think that you're not going to be successful and are pulling the plug on October 8th.

[Covino]

Yeah, your heart's just not in it.

[Dan Byer]

I mean, the season started Labor Day weekend. And I know that there was a build up to it, but we were even saying there in the spring of there was a buyout in his contract. Will he make it the June 1 or June 15? Whatever the date was, he was then you're like, okay, he's going to be coaching this year. But now you get six weeks into a season and you're ready to call it quits.

[Covino]

I hate these kids.

[Dan Byer]

How awful, man.

[Rich]

You know, it poses a bigger question. Let me ask you guys. Not about sports, but have you ever started a job and quit very quickly? Did you ever have. It could be a part time job.

[Covino]

Like, I think I had a job one day at ups and I was like, I was like this, no way, I'm not doing this. It's too much work. I think I went, I did some contracting stuff like construction work with a neighbor one time. Like, yeah, right, dude, I'm not showing up the next day.

[Rich]

Similar story. My mother's boyfriend, her longtime boyfriend at the time. What is. It was a contract.

[Covino]

It was just too tough.

[Rich]

It was like the summer of my freshman year of college. And he's like, yeah, come with me, you know, I'll give you a hundred bucks or whatever a day. I'm like, oh, cool. He was having me rip out like, you know, insulation and bugs were calling everywhere, and I was dirty and dusty and I remember going home being like, yeah, that's one my one day.

[Covino]

I'm done.

[Rich]

No, thanks.

[Covino]

No, thanks.

[Rich]

But we think we've all had jobs where you take the job and you're like, oh, I mean, Bill's done it before with the jets, right.

[Dan Byer]

I quit a job at a metals factory after the second smoke break. And I didn't even smoke. Like, you get your morning 15 minute, then lunch, and then you get your afternoon 15 minute. And I was. That was done. I was gone.

[Covino]

It's the feeling of, this is not for me, but maybe it'll get better. And then you realize real quick, maybe it won't.

[Rich]

We've done this. We've done this long enough together, you know. Don't let our boyish looks deceive you. Kavino and I have been working together since we're in our early 20s, so we've been almost 20 years together. We've seen interns just never show up for their second day.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

And you know, just sort of like, yeah, I guess this isn't for me.

[Covino]

Like, damn, something rubbed them.

[Rich]

Well.

[Covino]

So, yeah, let's hear your stories and that seems to be what's going on here. If he's willing to be bought out this soon, like what a letdown.

[Rich]

Like man, I just did. Regrettable decision. So we'll talk a little bell check and all your thoughts on everything we're getting to and are you going to raz Dan buyer because the Cubs want to up. Yeah. Nanny, nanny.

[Dan Byer]

Poof.

[Rich]

Poof.

[Covino]

Yeah. I think you have to know someone. You know what, we got some phone calls about razzing in sports and we'll get to that next. Again, we're Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports radio studio.

[Rich]

For real?

[Covino]

You know what, I just had an epiphany. I always have my great thoughts in the bathroom.

[Rich]

Rich tin of Pe Finy.

[Covino]

Yeah, I had an EP for let's.

[Rich]

Hear this genius Lenny Poffo.

[Covino]

I think it's as simple as not necessarily taking the money and run Iowa Sam even though that's great speculation. Iowa Sam on the ones and twos. Danny G. Super producing buyout though.

[Danny G]

Yeah, I'm not saying he's taking the money. I'm just making a joke with the song. But he's, he's running away from a situation that you know is not going well.

[Covino]

It goes with my epiphany Bill Belichick and we've all done this on some level of life. I think thought because he has this reputation, he has this resume, he's done it in the NFL at a high level, this great defensive mind. I think he thought this was going to be way easier than it's turning out to be. And he's slowly realizing that none of these coaches get along. These kids, all these kids who don't know each other have no chemistry. All these new kids from the transfer portal. It's a lot to handle. And if you're not a young dude committed to the college way in a college program, you're just wasting everybody's time. And it turns out to be a harder job than he thought and he bit off more than he could choose. So yeah, he's willing to take that money. I think he thought it was gonna be a lot easier than it is. Instead, he's getting embarrassed.

[Rich]

I'm certainly not saying Bill Belichick and his, you know what, six New England Super Bowls and coaching with the Giants winning, a couple others as an assistant. You don't think there's a part of.

[Covino]

Me is like, yeah, they're in the NFL.

[Rich]

But I'm not saying that. By no means am I saying that was quote lightning in a bottle. It was a career of winning and brilliance. But what I'm saying is we've seen it with other coaches. I remember after Joe Tory seemed unbidden, unbeatable as a Yankees coach manager, Everywhere else Joe Tory went didn't seem to work out. And you've seen it in the NBA where you know, a legend goes somewhere and it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work somewhere else.

[Covino]

If you just joined us, Dan Beyer announced that Bill Belichick is open to some sort of buyout if he has another coaching gig or a TV opportunity or something like that.

[Rich]

Is it so short lived in North Carolina that if it does end now, we won't even think about it? With his legacy, like the legacy is like, no, no Patriots and this.

[Covino]

Like, I think he affected a lot of kids that had high hopes.

[Rich]

No, but I'm saying when his story's told later, like, oh, Bill Belichick will be told like, and then he had this stinker of a year, like I.

[Covino]

We could separate it. Yeah, we could separate it. But it's time for a tire rack play of the day again. Kavino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Oh, it's no question.

[Rich]

Oh, geez.

[Covino]

All rise for a mammoth blast two strike pitch.

[Rich]

It's a drive down the line. If it spirits his moment. It is. It's Connard.

[Covino]

George has arrived. Man, you knew it was coming.

[Rich]

Joe Davis. What a call on FS1, huh?

[Covino]

For real. Like I said, it was just a great baseball moment all around. Great Coverage. Great call. Props. Did you hear that call FS1.

[Rich]

He made a great call and then he let it breathe perfectly.

[Covino]

That was awesome.

[George]

He did.

[Covino]

That's courtesy of FS1, our Tire Rack Play of the Day. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, Tire Rack, tire rack.com way Tire buying should be. So grand openings, grand closings, we've all experienced them. And let me say this too. I said I had a day at ups that's not to knock anyone's job. I'm saying that was hard. I spent one day loading and unloading trucks.

[Rich]

Not for me.

[Covino]

And I was like, yeah, right. I'm not wearing these belts. My back was killing me. I'm like, this is, I'm too, I'm too weak for this. No, I'm not cut out for this.

[Rich]

I'm too weak.

[Covino]

This is not for the weak hearted. So sometimes you, you realize like, yeah.

[Rich]

I remember when my wife, not me.

[Covino]

And maybe that's what Bill Belichick's going through.

[Rich]

When my wife and I first started dating and she was in her 20, early 20s and I remember she got a job as like a bottle service girl to make a little extra money and like one day she's like, guys are creeps and weirdos. I'm done like one day. Like no, one day. So we've all had a, we've all had jobs for like a day. Let's say hi to JP in Paradise who wanted to just talk about Belichick real quick. And then we have calls on razzing. What's up jp?

[Covino]

Hey, what's going on fellas? So I just want to talk about the fact that we always say that, you know, Russell Wilson, he's playing his way. He might be playing his way out of the hall of Fame.

[Rich]

And you know, I mean I look.

[Covino]

Now and I think, is Bill Belichick coaching his way out of the hall of Fame?

[Rich]

I mean, well, not coaching his way out of the hall of Fame, but coaching his way out of that number one spot of like go untouchable. Belichick's the best coach of all time. Like, yeah, maybe.

[Covino]

I don't think the college just like the postse has nothing to do with the regular season when it comes to MVP voting or anything else. I don't think college coaching has anything to do with NFL coaching.

[Danny G]

He's creating footnotes that you have to be like, oh, look at how it ended.

[Covino]

It's part of the story, but it won't affect him.
