C
I mean, somehow that team is right back on the top of the heap if you ask me. We're going to talk NFL today because I feel like there's a reason why every fan base in the NFL, maybe except for the jets, has like some odd reason to be sort of pumped. Okay, I'll explain. Plus, we're going to talk about your best out of town sports experiences. We're going to Talk about last night's wild Dodgers game. So much to get to so little time.
A
That being said, hope you had a Mariners, Dodgers sort of night, a Bears, Falcons sort of night, a Bijan sort of night. And I could already tell where you're going. The fact that the Falcons beat the Bills, you have to say to yourself, well, I guess it's anybody season. I mean I should, I should have.
C
I should have done a little head scratcher when Vegas had it like three and a half, four, four and a half points. At times like in my mind I'm like, oh, the Bills, you know, this is a bounce back week. They're going to crush the Falcons.
A
And so if you're a good team like the Steelers, like the Colts, like the Buccaneers, and it might be real, you're competing at a higher level than expected, you might have a legitimate chance because all the other teams that you thought were going to be dominant seem to be pretty average and vulnerable. The Lions, the Ravens, the Bills, Chiefs, they're all beatable teams, at least as of now. We always say by week six you have a pretty good understanding of where the teams are going. Guess what? In the blink of an eye, we're there already. And we're like it's anyone's season I guess right now, unless there's some major, major turnarounds. Injuries have changed everything. It's not the NFL we expected. Rich and I were joking on our Patreon today. We do a Patreon Monday through Thursday. That's Covino and Rich uncensored unleashed.
C
Oh man.
A
As patreon.com covino and rich, if you're interested in checking it out and joining that fun. But we were talking about how is our game broken? Is the NFL broken? Because how is Daniel Jones one of the most dominant quarterbacks in the league but Josh Allen is not what's going on. And you're blowing in the cartridge like the the game's not working. Did you blow it in like we're living in the upside down?
C
Sometimes you got to put another game on of it to keep it held in.
A
But you realize it's the players that are broken. It's not the game, it's the players. There's turf toe and high ankle sprains and broken ankles and just not the teams that we were expecting on the field. So Rich, I know where you're going. Everybody should be excited because it's anybody season. And just when we thought Aaron Rodgers was the joke of all jokes, I actually had a thought. Driving here in the rain the rain, driving.
C
It's nice when it rains in la.
A
It provokes thought. I scratched my door. Yeah. The more scruff I get, Sam, the deeper my thoughts get. So I start scratching my scruff and I'm looking out at the rain and I thought to myself, what's a greater story? Is the greater story a tough and rugged MVP caliber like Baker Mayfield wins a Super bowl from zero to hero, proving that he is the Tom Brady of Johnny Manziels? Or Aaron Rodgers going out on a high note? Because no one would have expected that either. I don't think I wouldn't have. Even though he has one. It would be sort of cool if you have no dog in the race to see him shut everybody up too, and prove that he knew all along, even though we all doubted it. That's a cool story.
C
Or Daniel Jones, who is a top level pick that was thrown in the trash.
A
You know, I'll sign up for that one too, man.
C
You know, we, we talked preseason. I remember Dan Byer, Danny G. We were all talking about really why the. The Colts are saying that it's an actual quarterback competition? Because I remember at first thinking it was like a fugazi competition, like, oh, it's Anthony Richardson's job. But they have to say, right? Oh, dude, Daniel Jones lip service.
A
Yeah, just saying the right things.
C
And then when Richardson really is not performing up to par and got a little banged up and you're like, Daniel Jones, huh? And now 5 and 1.
A
I know it's early up to par like John Parr.
C
It's true.
A
Great reference, St. Elmo's fire, bro.
C
But I just think the NFL is so wild right now. Tim Tebow's fire, the minute you thought you saw it, had a grasp on. All right, here's a couple elite teams. The Eagles haven't looked good. The Bills haven't looked good. The Chiefs look like they were in the trash. And now they look. Oh, dude, like they're coming back.
A
Imagine if the Giants catch fire with the two dopes, the two boneheads with Scatterbo and Jackson dart those two goons.
C
They'Re gonna bump heads into a keg stand, right?
A
The two wild and crazy guys. Imagine that's the story back to Daniel.
F
Jones for a second. This stat is wild. The Colts. This is from Jordan Schultz, our friend of the show.
A
What up, Jordan?
F
The Colts have scored 194 points through six games, the most any Colts team has ever scored in the first six games of a season in franchise history. Think about Peyton Manning and some of the High powered offenses they had. That's. That's crazy.
C
I mean, people come out of nowhere. I mean, Dan Buyer, no one thought Russell Wilson at first would be the guy for you guys in Seattle back in the day, Brock Purdy was your afterthought. Mr. Irrelevant. And Trey Lance. And then, wow, Brock purdy is a $50 million man. Now crazier things have happened. Daniel Jones, such a good story.
A
Nobody knows Jack Diddley squat.
C
Like we said yesterday, Baker Mayfield tossed around a few teams, got one game, one shot with the Rams and let the world remember. Wait, does he got some. He got some juice left in that squeeze. And here he is. Right.
F
Chris Ballard has been under the microscope where people think that he's even passed his nine lives with the Indianapolis Colts. You mentioned the Daniel Jones thing. It was Ballard who said in January that when, or at least in the Indian column, in the early parts of 2025, when they brought in Daniel Jones, that was going to be an open competition. And then Anthony Richardson couldn't stay healthy. The Colts also lost a couple of linemen to the Minnesota Vikings during that time, but they locked up other offensive linemen. And now all of a sudden, Jonathan Taylor staying healthy, knock on wood. You know, he had a great season last year, but that's also been an issue. But all of these things coming together and now we even look at the Colts front office is like, they know what they're doing. Look at what they. Look at what they. They know what's going on.
C
What was it like a year and a half ago? Who's their coach? They go with the light eyes.
F
There was Frank Reich and then there was Shane Steichen and then.
C
No, it was like an experiment for a second.
F
Jeff, Saturday, for the interim.
C
Yes, the light eyes. I just picture him having like the guy with the beautiful eyes.
F
You're talking lizard eyes. Like love is blind.
C
Yeah. So. But, but in that moment, do you remember? Do you remember we thought like, wow, the Cults are a disaster.
F
Yeah.
C
And how quickly things could turn around. And I saw a great stat. I was watching that Colts game pretty closely on Sunday. And Jonathan Taylor is top five all time average yards per game. Like he's averaging in his career, 90, between 90 and 100 yards a game rushing. The guy's a beast when healthy. We know this. But you're right. Health is wealth, especially this year in the NFL. And he's bringing it.
A
You know what it is? It's all the top level teams, the top tier teams look pretty average. And the teams that are playing dominant. We're just not really buying into it the way we should be. Like, yeah, there's no way the Colts could be this good, bro. Can I throw another one away this time? There's no way the Buccaneers can continue playing that way. It's just everything seems like we're living in the upside down, Stranger things style. Nothing's making sense. But it also keeps everybody's rooting interest high because it's Anyone sees it, yeah.
F
Throw the Jags in there.
C
Oh yeah, can I throw someone else in there as well? Talk about another turnaround when a franchise goes through a couple down years and could the Patriots be back?
A
Well, they're definitely, yeah, they're definitely not weak like they used to be.
C
Patriots after this week are going to be five and two. Patriots are going to be five and two. And I remember in the beginning of the season someone picked the Patriots to sneak into the postseason as they're like wild and crazy. Prediction the Patriots are on their way and if it's not this year, they at least have the groundwork. And Drake May's looking good. It's an interesting season.
F
I was Sam also on the pick sheet. What was your out on a limb, Sam?
B
Patriots go nine and eight.
F
Now. The over under was eight and a half.
C
Yeah, I didn't know that.
B
I thought they were just expecting to.
C
Be but for another season, I would say I'm really going out on a crazy limb for that one.
F
They are back, by the way. The Patriots are back. They are here to stay.
A
They seem to be the real deal. We say kappa booty feel, real deal, copper booty feel. So based on that, you know you got your Bears over the commanders yesterday, 25, 24, falcons over the Bills. That was a surprise. How are they so ass out of nowhere like that? Falcons 24, Bills 14 My girlfriend, she's a big fan of I Want yout Flex podcast.
F
Dan By I've heard that.
A
Yeah, she's like, you keep saying Josh Allen's the best. He stinks. Because she has her fantasy team. And I'm like, you can't drop Josh Allen. She's like, but he stinks. I'm like, he doesn't stink.
F
Yeah, he's had probably the highest point total of any player so far this season, depending on your scoring system. But as of late, it's been a rough go and a team like Atlanta really matches up poorly with Buffalo because they can't stop the ball.
A
Okay, but imagine this. Ready? This is my girlfriend's first time playing any fantasy sport whatsoever and she really dove in. So she came to me with all these questions and if you base my answers on what you would have thought this season. Hold on. I know nothing.
C
I was gonna say none of us do, but I was probably. Listen to Dan Byer.
A
Yeah. I'm like, check out the I Want yout Flex podcast. Dan Byers, the fantasy guy. I'm like, I don't know, I watch all the games. He's like, you watch, you don't know anything. But based on everything you would have thought, it looks like I truly we, not just me, know nothing. Because if she's like, should I get Josh Allen? I'm like, Josh Alle, he's the best quarterback in the league. Absolutely. And it seems like everything that you thought was going to happen is the exact opposite so far. So it's any one season and you.
C
Know who's on the, on the flip is having a pretty good fantasy year, at least for me. Mahomes. Like not that he, I mean it's Patrick Mahomes, but I didn't expect him to be one of the guys sort of carrying me. And he's running for touchdowns. He's passed for touchdowns. He's put up more yards for the.
A
Past than the last year. They're saying this is a comeback when it comes to those type of stats. Yeah, the past two years it's been all Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, but this is sort of a comeback year stat wise for Patrick Mahomes.
F
It is completely. And I think it's for two big reasons. They don't really have a guy that can run the football anymore like Isaiah Pacheco. Isn't that guy, Kareem Hunt seeing more and more action? Also their defense isn't as strong as it has been in years past. And they've been a defensive team the last couple of years. Now they need Patrick Mahomes to be Patrick Mahomes. And now heading into week seven where they face Danny, Danny's Raiders, they get Rasheed Rice back. He's off of his six game suspension. So another weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
C
Yeah. And you know when you're playing in these close games, you're sometimes playing from behind or you know, there's reasons why Mahomes is back. But if the season ended today, the crazy part is when you look at who'd be in it, it's not who you thought. And every year without fail, you see that same stupid stat which is half the teams from the previous season don't make the playoffs. And you think every year how Is that possible? Because you go through and you're like, well, I mean, the Bills are a lock. The Ravens are a lock. And just right there already. I mean, the Bills will likely make the playoffs, but Ravens, one in five.
A
They'Re not going to make it.
C
You look through the conferences and you're like, you're thinking, well, maybe. Maybe there's something to be said about the parody and how the NFL does do it.
A
Right. I think the best that the Dan Patrick stat of the day is that teams who have head coaches that wear capri pants are one in 11 this year. When you factor in McDaniel and Aaron. And Aaron Glenn.
C
So came up with that, Marvin.
A
I saw me. No, no, no, no.
F
I think it was a bar stool thing.
A
Yeah, it wasn't a bar stool thing.
C
He said the Dan Patrick trig of the day or something.
B
No.
A
Well, that's what he calls it. Stat of the day or whatever.
F
Covino. Head coaches who wear vests this season.
A
Oh, is there a stat for this?
F
10 0. I just made that up.
A
Oh, really? That's why I'm investing. Yeah. So Aaron Glenn wearing his capri pants, not a single win the show for it. And Dolphins got one win. So anyway, when you add all that up, right, and we just sit here confused, like, is this game broken? I really think, although it keeps you interested, it shines a brighter light on how exciting the MLB postseason is. Cause if I were keeping score, I know the ratings might show otherwise, because NFL still king.
C
I get it.
A
But my personal opinion is baseball one. If it was a Monday night competition, you had a double doozy of NFL football and you're left there confused, like, the Bills are weak. What's going on? I feel like the vibe in the MLB was so much more electric. Boogie Oogie Yugi. And I don't even have a team in the race. Mariners are doing what the Yankees couldn't. And I loved watching that. Dominating the Blue Jays. They're up two games to nothing, but again, electric atmosphere. That Dodgers game. The Dodgers brewers game.
C
Oh, my God, I've thought about the Dodgers. We're going to get Dodgers.
A
Snell was dealing to the point where, honestly, we're so prone to make that channel switch to the NFL. Like, I was hesitant to do so. I was just trying to get an update. But my baseball had had the big TV yesterday, man.
C
Not, not gonna lie. My. My kids wanted to watch baseball. I said, what do you guys want to watch? Some football or baseball? And they go, who's playing? I said, the Dodgers and of course, I lost my kids to the Dodgers. They wanted to watch and lost my kids today. And even in between innings, there was no instinct to flip back to football because at no point were the Bills in my mind.
A
No, they weren't really in it at all. And it didn't feel as exciting. It just didn't. And I get it, we're comparing postseason, but like we said yesterday, even in the past, you would have chose football before that if your team wasn't in it.
C
What about the log jam known as the NFC West? The Niners, Seahawks and rams all at 4 and 2, all battling injuries, all, you know, maybe not good enough to really go that far, but someone's going.
A
To come back, jam in the NFC West. Look at that.
C
Three teams.
A
Somebody get some Metamucil for those bad boys.
C
And then the NFC north don't sleep on Chicago.
A
Could it be.
C
Could, you know, could Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams have figured this out enough to compete where they couldn't last year? Where Caleb couldn't get it done last year? Is Ben Johnson the answer?
F
All they needed was your Niner kicker.
C
And Jake Moody, that son of a. Also, all of a sudden he's looks like he's great, but that's a great division as well. NFC North.
B
You think? Jeff Saturday has some piercing eyes. Ben Johnson will stare at you and burn a hole in your forehead. You know, those are some scary eyes.
C
Can I tell you, Besides, I don't want to be add all over the place, but we had football last night. We had baseball last night. An amazing night for sports, for the. Even the casual fan.
B
Right.
C
You had a man. You had multiple Monday night games and great playoff baseball. When all that was done, obviously I had to catch up on Love is Blind with my wife.
A
Well, new episodes start tomorrow, but after.
C
That I'm going to start tonight. I've heard no one talk about it. And the preview looks awesome. Are we not watching? Is it Chad Powers or what? Is it?
B
Yeah, Chad Powers.
F
Yeah.
B
Glenn Powell.
C
Glenn Powell. And it's produced by the Mannings. How he was a college football player that made like a huge mistake in the national championship. And then go as he's crossing the goal line, which has been in the news. Yeah. He drops the ball as he crossing. As he did, you know, the storyline.
A
I remember seeing the trailer.
C
Glenn Powell, who was in that movie with Sydney Sweeney, he's like a hunky dude, right? In the national championship.
A
He was in Twisters.
C
Yeah, national championship.
A
The dude, does he have piercing eyes?
C
The guy's handsome. He's crossing the goal line and does the boner play where he drops the ball a second too soon.
A
Yeah.
C
His team loses the national championship. So he's like the most hated man around.
B
He's like a pariah and outkick.
C
So he goes in disguise to like a smaller college and he's awesome. And it was like, who's this new guy? And he just has like face. He's got a weird voice.
A
I see the ads all the time, but is it. Is there buzz about it? Is it good?
B
Can I just say that when I watched the trailer the first time, because it's been advertised all it looks so cheesy. But the more I look into it, it looks. It looks really fun and funny.
C
It's four episodes deep and they seem like 30 minute class.
A
Is he's like flawed guy or What?
B
He's like Mrs. Doubtfire for football, right?
A
No, I understand the premise, but is he a guy?
C
Is he like, you know whose coaches on the smaller. On the smaller conference, smaller college team? Steve Zahn.
B
I love it's got a good cast.
C
The cast looks cool. And I'm like. Usually you hear something like, even if it's a dumb show like Daniel be like, yo, Brendan, I watch Love is Blind or Morning show or. Or Black Rabbit on Netflix. I haven't heard anyone talk about Chad Powers.
A
No one's tried to sell me on it.
C
We love football. Yeah, but maybe there's behind it.
A
I'd rather watch reruns of Kenny Powers. Maybe. I don't know because I haven't. I think there's something to that. If no one's buzzing about it. Yeah, maybe it's not that good.
F
Well, we have that one. It's funny you mentioned that, Rich, because we were wondering if we should check that out. And then also I know it's not weekend hobnobbing, but nobody was talking about task on hbo. Max. We started that show and we were like, how did we not hear about this from anybody?
C
You know why? Because there's so much Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney plus hbo, Max Peacock, Paramount. There's so much stuff that I cause because Covino always tell me that no one watches. I'm shocked that I don't hear more people talk about, like, only murders in the building. Steve Martin.
A
I love that show.
C
My wife and I watch and I'm like, who does no one watch this.
A
My theory is this too much. I think we're oversaturated with AI videos on social media. It's like, all right, Enough of this. We're getting bored with it and we don't know what to believe. And we're like, all right, my friend's an action hero on AI. Who cares, right? Sora app is sweeping the nation.
F
Pauly D shaved his head.
A
I saw that. Ruining social media with these stupid fake videos. All your friends sending a million fake videos to you.
B
You're now fighting a gorilla.
A
You're really looking for something else to watch. Like, I need. I need another show. Another show to stack up because it needs to fill the void of my bowl scroll now. Because I'm bored of social media.
C
No, but Kavino, you made a good point earlier today. He was saying how. Remember how fake profiles and fake girls sort of ruined MySpace?
A
Well, MySpace was great until became spammy. It became spammy and we're like, all right, we moved on to Facebook and other platforms. I'm getting that same vibe with social media, period.
C
Is it possible that TikTok and Instagram, the demise could be too much fake AI stuff and Sora and this and that. You're like, you know what?
A
It hurts the brain. You don't know what to believe. It takes away from the good stuff that was actually real. Right. It waters it down. So that might be a good thing in the long run anyway to get us off social media. That being said, hit us up at Covino and Rich in the meantime. But because. Because I'm putting the phone down seems a little more than usual. I do need another show on top of that.
C
Well, if you don't want to. I'll watch tonight. I'll be the experiment. I'll be the guinea pig.
B
I will.
C
I'll let you know if it's worth watching. But when I watch the preview, I'm like, you know football. The Mannings are behind it. Like I said, Glenn Powell seems like a likable dude. How is no one talking about it? But then again, on hbo Max. Or is it no Apple tv. I watched mga. Or is it. I don't think. Exactly.
B
Peacock.
C
I watched Stick with Owen Wilson and Mark Marin about golf, and it was a comedy. I thought it was fantastic, yet I haven't heard anyone talk about it. And I thought it was great.
B
The Chad Powers character is based off of Eli Manning going to, what, Penn State and putting on prosthetics and, like, trying out for the team. It was all, like, a big sketch.
A
Yeah, it was great.
B
So it could have some laughs in it.
C
So, listen, I'm going to give it a shot tonight.
A
Let us know. And the takeaway Here is the unbelievable parody in the NFL. It really is. Every fan base should be excited and baseball did win. I think Monday night. However, ratings might not say so, but as far as electricity and excitement, a great night for baseball. There's one good game tonight. We'll talk more about that later. Plus Showtime Homes Trivia we got prizes to give away snack and packed taco Tuesday on Covino and Rich.

In the new podcast Hell in Heaven, two young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead, the other tried for murder not once. People went wild, not twice, stunned, but three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble and our couple reflects retreat from reality.

They lose it. They actually lose it.

I forgot whose podcast we were doing.
B
Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of SNAFU with Ed Helms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A
Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
C
Good song choice. I was Sam.
A
Is this going out to Jeff Saturday? From Rich to Jeff. Hungry Eyes, Eric Carmen, Hungry Eyes. I was Sam on the ones and twos. We got Danny G super producing, and he's getting all the questions ready for Showboy Mahomes trivia and the Adonis Spidey on the videos again, Streaming live on YouTube. Covino and Rich FSR Covino and Rich FSR Steve Cavino, Rich Davis, Dan Byers, got your update in a few minutes. And I want to say this, Rich, Remember I said how baseball won Monday night over football?
C
I believe so. I agree.
A
Yeah. But in all fairness, in all fairness, you know what really pulled me in the eight, six, two double play? What? We're going to get that. We're going to get to the most ridiculous play that ever was. I really think that was it. I'm like, oh, my God, the Brewers gotta win. Now after that.
C
Well, there's. There's so much that you could talk about when it comes to the Dodgers. But I want to throw a quick story at you guys, please. I want to know. It's a case of do you call your buddy out or not?
A
Yes.
C
You know, sometimes you let it slide.
A
You never let anything slide. This guy rich, Mr. Busybody, Sir Yapsilot. If I stumble over one word, he can't not point it out.
C
I mean, that is true. But you ever have your buddy or pal or coworker say, hey, do you mind sponsoring my kid for a nice charity like a run walk or for sick kids or cancer or whatever? You always want to do the right thing. And y' all sponsor your kids like Alyssa Milano? Yeah. You want to. You want to donate a couple bucks? My buddy said to me, and by the way, the Alyssa Milano thing, not the same.
A
She wanted new uniforms for her entire team. Right. Her kids team.
F
I think she wanted them to travel.
A
What was it, to Washington D.C. or something?
F
Yeah.
C
This is not an ill travel. This was like, hey, my Kid's doing a basketball event for charity. And he said, do you want to sponsor him? I said, certainly. It's for a good cause. You got a pal. And he said, they get 100 free throws. And you sponsored my kid for how many of the free throws he could get?
A
Did you size up the kid?
C
He's like 10, 12 years old, right?
A
Like, he's a pretty athletic ability. So.
C
So I go, andy, what are people doing? He goes, I don't want to put you out. I was like, what, a $2 a shot? Whatever it. Whatever it is, sign me up. He just texted me and he goes, yo, the event went well. He had 80 out of 100.
A
Come on, times. What did you do? Don't tell me you did more than a dollar per shot.
C
You did $2. But here's the thing.
F
$3.
B
That'll be $94.
A
Dan Beyer. You know I'm not good with math, so be sure to calculate this as soon as Rich tells us.
C
But listen, I'm all for a good charity, so who cares? But I don't believe his kid hit 80 out of 100. I could. You hit 80 out of 100? I. You sit. If I went to a gym right now, and I'm a decent. I'm a decent pickup basketball player. I'm no Jason McIntyre. Doug Gotlieb. But I feel like maybe I'd hit more than 50%. I'd hope, maybe not. You'd get cold.
A
But the kids are in the zone, too. Like, they've been practicing, right? So they got their stroke going on.
C
Hold on. If you have a 10 to 12 year old kid, you think he's hitting 80% from the line?
A
It's possible.
F
Well, first of all, I just. I feel like I need to do this. It is unfair to Doug to put Jason McIntyre's basketball career in comparison to Doug's. Doug played high level college hoops. J. Mac plays rec league hoops.
C
J. Mac plays rec league with Matt Leiner.
A
Okay.
F
Now, I don't know if you thought that the kid was Shaq shooting free throws.
A
How old is he?
C
I would say like maybe 11 or 12. He's not a teenager.
B
There's no way.
F
There's 80%. No way.
C
I'm more than happy to donate the money to a good cause. But I am also be like, yo, bro, for real. I think you're full of.
F
Yes.
A
You really think they're lying and padding for charity?
F
That's kind of their excuse of doing so. Hey, it's for charity.
A
Why not say I'm not going to come out.
C
But Kavino, I would bet you. I mean, I already owe you thousands for the Yankees, so maybe I shouldn't bet you, but you're a pretty good gym basketball player. I've played with Kavino in the gym. Uncontested. Now, if you guard Cavino 5% shooting, right. But unguarded, like Cavino could beat people on horse. He is. He is a good uncontested shooter. Hundred free throws. What are you hitting? You think you're hitting 80?
A
Well, you're. You're asking me cold, right? A little kid's in his driveway. He's playing all the time. He's in the zone, right?
C
You go to 24 hours across the street and you take a hundred shots. What are you making?
A
You know, I might do this for fun, just to see.
C
I don't think you're making it.
A
Where did you sponsor him per shot? That's what I'm dying to know.
C
Two buckaroos.
A
That's 160 bucks. How you like them apples?
C
So damn.
F
Text your friend back right now. Video or it didn't happen.
C
Two respects. Our very own Doug Gottlieb. You're right. He is the only guy, I think, on this network that would hit 80 or more. And that's not even given. He might hit 70. We're talking about NBA players hit 80 to 90%. Yes, I'm more than willing to do it, but. Sure about that.
F
You sure about that?
A
That's really interesting to think that they would lie to a guy on sports radio too, though, like. Like no one's going to sniff that.
F
Out if he's making $2,000 bet. Mets bets. I think, like, hey, you could go and ask him for it.
A
Yeah, maybe they're so rich. Like, you know how in cartoons it turns into sucker? Like we have a big lollipop. Maybe he looked at you and like sucker.
F
I do want to say something else with it because it's your buddy doing it for a good cause.
A
Yeah.
F
My son recently had a school fundraiser and I was very selective in who I sent it out to. So the fact that he even asked you in, what would be a monetary donation?
C
Close friends like you. Close friends like you, Dan Buyer. I do a once a year doozy. Like Rob G from the Odd Couple, you always say sells chocolate once a year for his kid or something. I feel like your friends. Is it a fair statement you're allowed a one time doozy a year?
A
I think so, yeah.
C
Because your daughter was selling popcorn for cheerleading. I think you're allowed to go to a friend.
A
But you have that forward too, though, right? Like, if you expect people to buy from you, you better be buying from other people once in a while. So. So that's how that game works.
C
But I just thought it was funny. Again, love the guy. Kid's a great kid, but I was like, really? 80% free throw shooter, huh?
A
Wow.
C
Good for good for him.
A
Your thoughts on that? Plus we'll talk some MLB 87799 on Fox, but we got to go to Dan Beyer for an update.
C
Maybe it was layups, I don't know. All right, db, what's going on?
F
Is your friend Del Curry. I know My son hit 80 free throws. My son Steph Dodgers and Brewers, 8 o' clock Eastern Time tonight on TBS. It is game two of the NLCS. Dodgers up one open. Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the hill. Freddie Peralta pitches for the Brewers. Game three tomorrow. Mariners home in Seattle to the Blue Jays. Seattle's up two. Oh, having George Kirby on the hill. Shane Bieber's on the bump for Toronto. Tomorrow's game will be seen on Fox Sports 1. Some news from the NFL Bill Callahan, no longer a member of the Titans coaching staff after his son was fired as the team's head coach yesterday. The rest of the staff will remain man in place under interim head coach Mike McCoy as the Patriots come to town for Week 7. Ravens released corner CJ Gardner Johnson, while Bears head coach Ben Johnson says wide receiver D.J. moore is day to day with a groin injury. He stayed overnight in a D.C. area hospital for precautionary reasons after suffering an injury in last night's win against the Washington Commanders. Former All Pro jets offensive lineman Nick Mangold announced he's in search of a kidney donor with type O blood. He was diagnosed with a genetic defect in 2006, and that has led to chronic kidney disease. UConn's the preseason number one in the women's AP top 25 college hoops poll. Mark Stein reports Mavericks have given Ed coach Jason Kidd a contract extension. Bucs forward Giannis Antetokounmpo told the Greek television show he'd like to finish his career playing professional basketball in Greece, saying he'll play up till about 36 to 38 years of age in the NBA. He's 30 now and then would like to play for a pro team in Greece to wrap it all up.
A
Wow, that's kind of surprising. No, it goes to show you how some of these foreign players might not put as much stock in the NBA as they used to as the game continues to grow globally.
C
And the fact that the star players make like $60 million a year.
A
No, no, I get that, too. But I don't think that players back in the day would have taken that choice unless they had no game left.
C
Well, three onto the kumpos right now. Yeah, Milwaukee now in Milwaukee. Three of them. By the way, DB real quick, Terry McLaurin, any update? I'm trying to see if I could throw him in the guillotine.
F
Nothing as of yet. So they got the Cowboys coming up on Sunday.
C
It's a big one. Big one. All right. Thank you, DB. Now, last night, you can't deny, as Cavino has been saying all along, baseball's popping.
A
I got that from Deion Sanders.
C
So to be accurate, so many thoughts on how the Dodgers somehow escaped to the win. Three big mistakes they made yet somehow came out on top. We'll explain all next right here, Covino and Rich. And we'll give away some prizes right here on FOX Sports Radio.

In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for a murder not once. People went wild, not twice, stunned, but three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble and our couple retreat from reality.
A
They lose it. They actually lose it.
E
They sort of went nuts until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the Iheartradio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, it's Ed Helms. And welcome back to Snafu, my podcast about history's greatest screw ups. On our new season, we're bringing you a new Snafu. Every single episode.
D
32 lost nuclear weapons. You're like, wait, stop. What?
A
Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s.
B
Basketball player who still wore knee pads. Yes. It's gonna be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of guests. The great Paul Scheer made me feel good. I'm like, oh, wow, Angela and Jenna, I. I am so psyched you're here.
D
What was that like for you to soft launch into the show?
B
Sorry, Jenna. I'll be asking the questions today.
D
I forgot whose podcast we were doing.
B
Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of SNAFU with Ed Helms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or. Or wherever you get your podcasts.
A
We here on the CNR program want to say rest in peace to d' Angelo for not only having great R and B jams to get down to back in the day, but for making us all feel inferior when he exposed those, what are now known as d' Angelo lines. The lines from the abs in that pelvic region all the way down to the nether regions.
C
I mean, that's a commonly known phrase. I like yo, d' Angelo lines.
A
D' Angelo lines. It gave you workout goals. Yeah, he passed away at the age of 51.
C
You know, do you know about Cavino abs? That's where you lean your belly against a fence.
A
Yeah, yeah.
C
And it makes it look like there's abs.
A
Yeah, that's the only way I like tacos too much. So it's a Taco Tuesday with Covino and Richard. Danny G, who built his career coming up in hip hop and R and B, used to get down to d'. Angelo. Right? Don't you have one of his platinum records in your collection?
F
Yeah, I got a gold record from him and his record company for being one of the first to play Untitled.
A
How cool is that, man? But, yeah, sad to hear. And Iowa Sam is on the ones and twos.
C
And just a reminder to, hey, listen, it's like such a, you know, eye rolly reminder, but if you have insurance, go to the doctor, get checked, go to your annual physicals, get blood work when you're 40, 50 years old, go get Your colonoscopy. Do these things. Because when you look at your paycheck and see how much is coming out for health insurance, it may inspire you to be like, well, damn, I'm going to use it.
A
Might as well take advantage of that. You're paying for it. Do these things. Easier said than done. But everybody's getting older, so might as well. Rest in peace, d'. Angelo. And two quick reminders giving away prizes today. Showboy Mahomes trivia. Life of a Showboy. And we're going to be filling in for Dan Patrick tomorrow. So make note of that. Wake up with us tomorrow. In for the DP show, I was.
C
Sam, do you want a special pumpkin coffee drink or what are we going with tomorrow?
A
No, no special. Just.
B
Just the standard house brew. No special flavorings there. No pumpkin.
C
Someone told me I wasn't a man because I put stuff in my coffee. Is that true?
A
You haven't seen the video? There's some viral videos out there where like, some. Some homeboy is like, hey, yo, yo, my man. And he goes up to the barista. He's like. He hands him a note and he's.
C
Like, pumpkin spice latte.
A
But he. He won't say it out loud. He won't say it out loud. He has to hand him the note. Cause he doesn't want people to know. Real Vato Loco on this Hispanic Heritage Month.
F
It's like how you won't say some of the Denny's or IHOP dishes out loud.
A
No, you don't wanna say rooty tutti fresh and fruity.
C
We were in New York and there was a Jamba Juice in Times Square and Covino refused to say, what was it?
A
The Orange Dream Machine.
C
He's like, the orange one.
A
And I remember one time. Give me the creamsicle. You mean the Dream machine?
C
And one time the person almost wanted to make him say it. Like, which one?
A
No, the recent one was there was a drink called the Whiskey Business. And I was like, can I have the Old Fashioned? And they're like, you mean the whiskey business? I'm like, the Old Fashioned.
B
That's a clever name, though. Whiskey business.
C
It's a good one. We were at the gym once, and afterwards, you know, sometimes you got like a protein shake. Afterwards, Covino got like this chocolate peanut butter one. And I heard this guy next to me order a choc. Can I get the protein chocolate peanut buttery?
A
The chocolate protein peanut buttery. Yeah, that's a wordy for me. So Covino enriched. Rest in peace, d'. Angelo. Join us tomorrow morning in for Dan Patrick as we enjoy our pumpkin spice lattes. And right now on our show, Graham, it's time for the Tyrack play of the day. Rich, your Niners threw him out like trash. Like Basuda. Like yesterday's doo doo diapers. But Jake Moody came in for redemption. This will be a 38 yard try. Between the hash marks, in the rain.
B
In the wind, our version of the Hail Mary.
A
Scott Daly sends it back, spot down, kick up Jake Modi from 38. It is gone. Time expires and the Bears win their.
B
Third in a row for the first.
A
Time in five seasons off of Jake Moody.
B
We haven't even met Jake Moody yet.
C
Well, don't get too used to him. A rarity. I'm kidding, Jake. But not really a 38 yard field goal. All that excitement because a 38 yard field goal for most is a chip shot. For Jake Moody, not so much. That's courtesy of the Bears radio network. That's our tire act play of the day. For over 40 years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free with free road hazard protection, convenient installation options, tirerack.com, the way tire buying should be.
A
All right, so I'm Steve Cavino. That's Rich Davis, Danny G. The producer, Sam Byers here.
C
And guys, yes, we're going to be.
A
Giving away prizes, okay? So get this. Save the number at 87799 on Fox when we get ready for showboy Mahomes trivia number. Now, any final thoughts on your charity or the game?
C
No, I want to. I don't think there's any chance a kid hit 80 out of 100 free throws. You want to go to Nate, let's go to Nate. Nate, what's up, buddy?
A
Listen, all I'm going to say is be careful. Taking that bet for that kid shooting the free throws. My daughter took me for 200 bucks last year because she sat there and said, dad, you think I can make 80 out of 100? And I said, there's no way. And she dropped 92 out of 100 on me and it cost me 200 bucks. So just be careful.
C
Wait, listen, son. Daughter. I'm not trying to make it sound like your daughter. No, kid, 92 out of 100. That's like Steph Curry level, bro. I know.
A
I'm telling you.
C
Scholarships, bro. Scholarships.
A
Listen to me. She looked in the stand and said all I have to do is make nine out of 10 and she took them in chunks of 10, and she sat there and did it. And I'm like, there's no way that just happened. But it did, so I like it. That's a great story. If you just joined us. Rich donated $2 a shot to his kids to his friend's kids charity. And he shot, what, 80%? 80 out of 100?
C
80 out of 100 free throws. I'm like, really? 80? What is this guy playing in the NBA? Let's go to Drew in Oklahoma. He had thoughts on a show that we're all, like, waiting to see. Should we watch Chad Powers? Drew, is this worth it or what?
A
Yeah, I gotta say, it is. It was a. I've watched all the available episodes so far, and it was funny in a lot of spots. It made me actually laugh out loud. Not many shows do that anymore.
C
You know what? Then tonight it's the night. Watch a little baseball. By the time that game's over, watch a little Chad Powers. I'll come back tomorrow.
A
After last night, tonight feels like a break. Yet four big games yesterday, just one game tonight. You got plenty of time.
C
All right, well, let's turn our attention to. We're going to give away prizes next hour, but we got to talk some Los Doyers. The Dodgers last night. So many moments where I thought, oh.
A
No, Max Muncie's up. Oh, no.
C
Well, you know what it's like. You know when you watch a horror movie and sometimes they do the fake out? You're like, oh, here's where the guy's gonna die and he doesn't. There were so many moments where I'm like, oh, here's where the Dodgers blow it.
A
Like a random jump scare.
C
There's a jump scare, but it's not the jump scare where the character dies.
A
The music gets scary, but nothing happens.
C
There were jump scares for the Dodger fans out there, and I want to start with the basic one. We're going to go back to the Muncie grand slam.
A
You know what it was like when the bases were loaded. It was like it was getting heated.
C
Blake Snell dealing. We're going to talk about that. Why take him out? We're going to talk about the bonehead running and fundamentals of Oscar Hernandez. We'll talk about last night's Dodgers game and what we think we're going to see today. We'll talk a little baseball. Football giveaway surprises all next. Having fun here, Cavino and Rick.

Date: October 15, 2025
Host: Covino & Rich (Steve Covino & Rich Davis)
Network: iHeartPodcasts/Dan Patrick Podcast Network
This lively episode dives into the unpredictable landscape of the current NFL season, asking if the "game is broken" given the chaos and surprises across the league. Covino & Rich share their signature blend of humor, pop culture, and sports analysis, discussing the various teams defying expectations, the state of fantasy football, memorable MLB playoff moments, and even a charity basketball free-throw controversy. The show is peppered with engaging banter, sharp observations, and relatable fan perspectives.

"We're living in the upside down … nothing's making sense. But it keeps everybody's rooting interest high because it's anyone's season." (A, 12:02)
