Covino & Rich - Over the Hill Bill?

Summary

---

The Dan Patrick Show | Covino & Rich - "Over the Hill Bill?"

Episode aired: September 3, 2025

---

Main Theme

This episode centers on the fallout from Bill Belichick's disastrous college coaching debut with UNC, where his team suffered a historic blowout loss to TCU. Covino & Rich explore how a legendary NFL coach is suddenly becoming a social media punchline and debate whether it’s fair for revered figures to be mocked after a single poor showing. The conversation branches into broader sports culture, including reactions to overhyped debuts (Arch Manning, Alabama’s coaching changes), the power of memes, the fleeting nature of legacy, and which NFL teams might receive the same “overreaction” treatment after Week 1.

---

Key Discussion Points

1. Bill Belichick’s Nightmare UNC Debut

• Game Recap: Belichick’s UNC team gets routed by TCU, 48–14, marking the worst defeat of his coaching career.
• Initial Expectations: There was widespread hope Belichick would work "magic" at UNC, similar to what Deion Sanders brought to Colorado. Early in the game, when UNC led 7-0, the narrative was hopeful.
• Perception Shift: After the lead vanished, social media exploded with ridicule, and Belichick became a trending meme target overnight.

2. Punchlines & Legacy: Is It Fair?

• From GOAT to Meme: Rich questions whether it’s disrespectful that “the most decorated coach in NFL history is now becoming more of a punchline than a respected individual.” (04:06)
• Covino’s Take: People weren’t tuned in to see Belichick fail. “I thought I was tuning in to see some greatness unfold… and it turned out to be the greatest loss in his coaching career.” (09:24)
• Social Media Climate: The show underscores that "nobody is safe" from online mockery. Covino reminisces about the Michael Jordan cry-face meme as a moment when even legends became fair game online. (25:22)

3. Sports and Overreaction Culture

• Analogies Galore: The team likens Belichick’s start to releasing a dud lead track on a new album ("If that first track didn’t hit, I was less likely to enjoy that album" – Covino, 13:57). Is one bad game the whole “album”?
• Overreaction Reality: Rich: “We live in a world of overreaction, Sam. So we're just feeding into the eye-rolling overreaction.” (24:33)
• Album Track Analogy: Dan Byers adds, “Sometimes it's just an intro, right? So, you know the bangers are on track two, three and four. The whole album may be great, except maybe it just doesn't get off on the right foot.” (13:24)

4. Personal Life, Optics, and Coaching

• The Jordan Hudson Factor: Belichick’s relationship with his much younger girlfriend Jordan (seen on the sidelines) becomes part of the narrative, feeding public perception and jokes (“Didn’t help the optics” – Covino, 11:36).
• Player Perspective: Rich notes UNC players might still benefit from Belichick’s gravitas and increased scouting exposure, despite early setbacks. (18:47)

5. Staying Too Long at the Party

• Coach vs. Culture: Colin Cowherd is quoted likening Belichick to “the chef that's unwilling to change the menu.” (12:27)
• Timing Out: Echoes of Letterman, Howard Stern, Aaron Rodgers—legends grappling with staying past their cultural peak (21:47+).
• Self-Doubt: Both hosts empathize, believing even Belichick must wonder, “Did I make a mistake?” (24:06)

6. Who’s Next? NFL Overreaction Watch (Preview)

• Applying Overreaction Forward: As the show closes, Covino & Rich predict which NFL teams face sky-high expectations—and could become Week 1’s “Belichick” target if they falter (e.g., Chiefs, Chargers, 49ers, Broncos). (52:31)
• **Rich: “After Thursday, Friday and Sunday, there's going to be a team… that gets the Belichick, Alabama, Arch Manning treatment.” (52:31)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Early Hope for UNC:
  “When that game was seven nothing, there was a part of you that’s like, look at Belichick bringing the magic.”
  – Rich (08:24)

• On Social Media Clowning:
  “The memes came out like this. The Internet always wins. I wish we could give credit to the people that created these memes and jokes… I don't know how they come up with them so fast.”
  – Covino (10:49)

• Album as a Season Analogy:
  “Do you look at it like an album? Hey, track one might stink, but we still have the rest of the album to listen to.”
  – Rich (13:07)
  “If that first track didn’t hit, I was less likely to enjoy that album... You can't have a dud to start the album.”
  – Covino (13:57)

• On Staying Too Long:
  “When you see legends like late night talk show host Howard Stern, Bill Belichick and the talk of the town becomes younger coaches, younger podcasters. All that can't feel good for them.”
  – Rich (22:55)

• On Meme Culture:
  “No one is safe when it comes to getting clowned online... It's sports, it's entertainment... but no one's immune to just being harassed online and bullied online and being made the joke.”
  – Covino (25:22)

• On Belichick’s Future:
  “It really wasn't. It was like a somber feel. Unless you were a TCU fan.”
  – Covino (16:57)

• Pop culture analogies, album/track metaphors, and playful ribbing (e.g., “I love big butts. I cannot lie…” – Covino, 13:53).
• Empathetic at times, especially to the human side of well-paid legends and their stumbles.

---

For Listeners Who Missed It: Core Takeaways

• Belichick’s coaching debut at UNC was a disaster—both on the field and as a test of legacy under the Internet microscope.
• Overreaction and memes are now instant parts of the sports cycle; even all-time greats are fair game for ridicule.
• The show draws broader parallels to sports and celebrity culture, questioning how much one game or bad moment should define a reputation.
• Listeners are invited to project the same scrutiny forward: Which NFL teams or stars will be roasted after a single shaky Week 1 showing?

---

In short:
This episode delivers a dynamic, insightful, and at times brutally honest look at how quickly legends—like Bill Belichick—can become trending memes, and asks what it means for sports, legacy, and culture as a whole.

[Rich]

I wonder if Jordan gave him a little sympathy booty.

[Covino]

The headline as I rolled with was the same headline as Arch Manning's headline. He might be ass. He might be ass.

[Rich]

So you know what I want to get into in a few minutes to sort of start the show? Is it rude that the most decorated coach in NFL history is now becoming more of a punchline than a respected individual?

[Covino]

Well, you know, it's one game, so we got to keep that in mind. Plus, it's Tuesday. That feels like a Monday. Like you said, Rich. So Showtime Mahomes trivia. Stopping by Showtime Mahomes. He has questions, he has prizes, and he's getting ready for some football this week. We're two days closer to NFL. You got college football, you got great baseball.

[Rich]

I'm wearing my Travis Matthew Met shirt today because I need my Mets to catch up to your Yankees for our bet.

[Covino]

Oh, my goodness. I mean, the next 12 games are so telling. If you followed the Covino and Rich bet, who has the better record at the end of the season, Yankees or Mets? It all comes down to the next 12 games because the Yankees take on the Astros tonight.

[Rich]

Oh, and three.

[Covino]

Then the Red Sox.

[Rich]

Oh, and three.

[Covino]

Then I think the Twins, the Orioles and Detroit.

[Rich]

Now you guys played Detroit in there, too. Oh, and three.

[Covino]

Yeah. So they got a bunch of playoff contending teams in the next 12 games. So very telling. We'll keep you posted. But thank you for great baseball, college football, NFL in two days. It's a great time to be alive.

[Rich]

No doubt. You know what? I'm going to tell you right now who your Yankees play because the Yankees do have a tough road ahead while we do it. Live from the FOX Sports radio studio.

[Covino]

Ever wanted to try an Olympic and Paralympic sport? Try fencing.

[Rich]

Oh, yes.

[Covino]

Fast, safe, easy to start. Find a beginner class near you@usa fencing.org that's USA fencing.org trifencing that's USA fencing.org.

[Rich]

Trifencing well, in an ideal world for me.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Which is the world I always hope for, you know, where the Mets win, Niners win, all my teams win. My bet with Kavino that I think I'm sure some people are casually following along. Yankees versus Mets, you got three in Houston, one and two. Then you're hosting the Blue Jays for three. Maybe you go one and two again.

[Covino]

That's who I left out.

[Rich]

Yeah, the Blue Jays.

[Covino]

I try to forget them. I hate the Blue Jays.

[Rich]

And then you got three against the Tigers, one and two. I'm going to give you one and two again. And then the Red Sox are three one.

[Covino]

Yo, Mr. Tiger, yo.

[Rich]

If you guys go four and eight over the next 12, that'll make me happy. I'm cool with that.

[Covino]

Yeah. So it all comes down.

[Rich]

Lose every series.

[Covino]

So the next 12 games for Yankees, Mets. But there's more to life than Yankees, Mets. I hope your teams are in it. It's a great time to be alive. Like I said, we got some big fights coming up in the world of fighting. And. Yeah. We're almost through the week now. I know we got to talk Bill Belichick, but wasn't there something you wanted to bring up real quick about your boy Juan Soto?

[Rich]

No, I'm just saying can we put respect on his name before we continue on with the show at all?

[Covino]

Does he not have enough?

[Rich]

No, I think because he started like Arch Manning and Bill Belichick, we thought he was ass.

[Covino]

Yeah, might be ass.

[Rich]

Ass. I think a lot of people look at Juan Soto as like, man, the guy's a bust. This guy is slaying it to the point now where he's sort of carrying the Mets at times and his numbers look like they will end up almost one of his better years.

[Covino]

It'll be 30. 30.

[Rich]

He's going to end up hitting 40 something home runs. He is really recovered. And Juan Soto's playing the way he played for the Yankees last year. And the way you saw him, five.

[Covino]

More stolen bases for 30.

[Rich]

I might get 40. 40.

[Covino]

So, nah, 40, 40, no way was he going to go on some crazy tear.

[Rich]

Well, you know what it is it.

[Covino]

Putting respect on his name. It's. He's a bag chaser and his face is punchable. He's only second to Lauren's mom in the unknown number on Netflix. I don't know if anyone's seen the documentary the sweeping the nation.

[Rich]

The catfish documentary.

[Covino]

Yeah, the unknown number, the high school catfish story. Yeah. His face is right up there with the mom's face from that story.

[Dan Byers]

Don't forget Manny Machado.

[Covino]

Manny Machado like punchable faces. So it's not a matter of giving respect. His face is punchable. So you don't want to really root for the guy. That's what I mean.

[Rich]

You rooted for him all last year.

[Covino]

So he's not on your team. All you see is that face.

[Rich]

Well, hey, go Juan Soto. Baseball's heating up, but let's talk some football. Let's talk some Bill Belichick. I'd rather, you know, last night when that.

[Covino]

I'd rather not.

[Rich]

By the way, when that game, when that game was seven, nothing. There was a party that's like, look at Belichick bringing the magic.

[Covino]

Wasn't chap. Even Michael Jordan stars were out. People were like, there it is. Okay. That's why he's here. Yeah.

[Rich]

Yeah. After the first drive, there's a ton of people tweeting about it and the rest of the game unfolded.

[Covino]

And it was seriously, you know, 40 unanswered points or whatever. It was just downhill from there.

[Dan Byers]

Their first offensive series was good as well.

[Covino]

Chapel. Downhill, bro.

[Rich]

The differential in score at one point was almost the difference between him and Jordan's age.

[Covino]

Well, that's just one of the jokes. So ding yourself. Because what stood out the most? 877-99-FOX. Was it all the clowning going on? Because at first you're watching for greatness, right? You never go to a theater or sit down and grab the popcorn in hopes to see a bunch of crap. Right? You're hoping to enjoy it. So I don't think people were there to like watch Bill Belichick fail. I don't think he's that type of guy. I thought I was Tuning in to see some greatness unfold and to see what he does at the college level. And it's like, yo, dude, this is bad. This is a straight up nightmare. Like, he was living a nightmare right before our very eyes. And it turned out to be the. The greatest loss in his coaching career. So what stood out to you? Was it all the clowning? Was it all the jokes? Was it all the punchlines that people leaned into? Or was it just the overall feeling of surprise? Like that gut punch that. That sucker punch to the face that he was dealt last night? Cause I was surprised by it. I think we all had a feeling of, he's Bill Belichick. He's an NFL goat. He's going to come out and teach these young boys a lesson. But it looked like the game passed them by, or he's not adjusting to college football. It was the exact opposite of what I expected.

[Rich]

I mean, you bring up a good point. I think it's a game we. I at least wasn't watching for. Man, I really hope they stink. You were sort of hoping, wow. If Bill Belichick could bring some magic to unc, who for the most part, has been irrelevant with their football program. If. If Bill Belichick could do to their program what primetime Dion did for Colorado, and you're like, wow, just another team in the mix. That was the wish. And then when it was seven, nothing. You're like, oh, my God, Bill Belichick's bringing it. And then from that point, I think there was more social media clowning than anything. And Bill Belichick has. Has become more of a punchline.

[Covino]

Yeah, people had jokes in their back pocket. The memes came out like this. The Internet always wins. I wish we could give credit to the people that created these memes and jokes, because I don't know how they come up with them so fast. But again, TCU wins. 48, 14. Bella, check yourself before you wreck yourself. He has to go back to the drawing board and figure things out. Obviously, they have some moves to make, things to learn from, but they better move fast, because if he doesn't adjust and if the team doesn't adjust, it's going to be the storyline for the rest of the year. And it's going to come back to his. His off the field antics with Jordan. That will come back to bother him. I'm sure it will. And bite him.

[Rich]

It doesn't help because here doesn't help.

[Covino]

The optics where his family's involved, his girlfriend's there, like, that doesn't help. The storyline, even that, even though that might not be the reason at all, it's not going to help the storyline if this continues to snowball Cove.

[Rich]

They were only three and a half point underdog, so it wasn't like they were these big favorites. They were actually dogs in the game. But it was expected to be a close game and many were betting money line on North Carolina because, hey, Belichick, magic. Maybe it happens in game one. But much like anything, if there is a layer of your personal life involved, when things go bad, everyone will look and point to the personal life. So yeah, if they win, oh, Jordan gives them some life and youth and man, Belichick's back. They lose. Now it just looks like an ultimate distraction and he's not who he was. And now he's again more of a social media punchline than the goat. Best coach in the NFL history, our.

[Covino]

Very own Colin Cowherd called him the chef that's unwilling to change the menu. As Colin says, you need to change the menu.

[Rich]

You quote Colin, I'm going to quote another great here at Fox Sports Radio. Damn buyer. See that guy sitting over there, Rich?

[Covino]

I think he, you know, based last night, 48, 14 in a laugher, almost like you're watching, covering your eyes. He has to change the menu. He can't stick to that. That's going to get him nowhere.

[Rich]

Dan Byers said something yesterday that I thought you could argue applies to Bill Belichick. When you talk about Alabama's first game, when you talk about Arch Manning and everyone's like, oh, they're ass.

[Covino]

Might be ass, bro.

[Rich]

And now Bill Belichick might be ass. Do you look at it like an album? Hey, track one might stink, but we still have the rest of the album to listen to. And Dan, I thought that was a great analogy because a lot of times you might not like track one, but that's not the whole album. That's not the whole season.

[Dan Byers]

Correct. And Monty even said sometimes it's just an intro, right? So, you know, the bangers are on track two, three and four. And the whole album may be great, except maybe it just doesn't get off on the. On the right foot.

[Rich]

Listen, each album might have 12 tracks. The hits might be tracks four, six, nine.

[Covino]

Yeah, I love, love, love the analogy. And I love, love, love Dan Byers wisdom. And having him here with us on.

[Rich]

The show, I feel like there's a big butt coming.

[Dan Byers]

I think so too. Like I could see it brewing.

[Covino]

I love big butts. I cannot lie. I bought Sir Mixla on cd.

[Rich]

What track was that?

[Covino]

But I'll tell you this. As a guy who spent all his hard earned money, his Bennigan's money on a cd, if that first track didn't hit, I was less likely to enjoy that album. You have to lead with one of your most solid tracks. That's what makes a classic album. You can't have a dud to start the album. You know, chances are the rest of the album's not that good. When the first track. You're not starting off your album with the weakest track.

[Rich]

I get it. You want to start out strong. I always make the two.

[Covino]

Dan's analogy, though. So, like, when you lose a stinker like that, it's gonna hard. It's gonna be hard to, like, change the outcome of the rest of the season.

[Rich]

I know it's a different sport, but I always joke that if you go bowling, even if you're going with your kids or wife or, you know, your buds, if in the first frame you bowl a seven and then miss despair and you're like, oh, my. My first frame is a seven open. Like, you're sort of aggravated to the.

[Covino]

Point where I said, yeah, there's no reset button. Yeah, you can't.

[Rich]

Like, you want to. You almost want to reset now if you get a spare or striking the first frame, you're like, all right, here we go.

[Covino]

And I get it on a cd, you know, you could do if there was a stinker to start the album. And it does happen. You did a little skiparoo. You skip it.

[Dan Byers]

Yes.

[Covino]

But you can't skip this 48 to 14 loss, you know, and it's a good one. But I'm telling you, this is straight up from years and years of CD collecting. You expect that first track to hit, whether it be a hip hop album, country album, rock album. That first track should be like the second dopest song after your lead single. That's how I always felt about the first track of the song. And to play into the analogy, I think it's a great one. Bill Belichick had to make a statement, and he made the opposite of that yesterday.

[Rich]

It's interesting. How does one recover? Who do they play next? I'm sorry, I apologize not for looking it up.

[Dan Byers]

Charlotte.

[Rich]

So they should win that game. I imagine they're not good.

[Dan Byers]

Charlotte. Speaking of music, I think they're bad.

[Rich]

Charlotte.

[Covino]

49Ers, rich and then Richmond at home.

[Rich]

So, I mean, they do have a few, though. If they kept it close last night, then you would have said something different, right?

[Dan Byers]

Yeah. And one good thing that may have come from a bad situation with Geo Lopez getting hurt was that we saw Max Johnson come in. He missed, what, a year because of that gruesome leg injury. Almost lost his leg and then threw the touchdown to his brother.

[Covino]

He said, max Johnson, but maybe.

[Rich]

Yeah, good one.

[Dan Byers]

Belichick found his quarterback moving forward, taking.

[Covino]

It one day at a time. Hey, that would be cool. Hey, we love a great story, right? So the great story here would be if they were able to turn it around. You know, you could go on analogies all day long. We've seen it rich, right? Like, we've seen someone step out and in the first round, they get rocked. But then it's a long fight. They come back and win and they battle. And, you know, that's just part of the story. In college, however, every game counts that much more. I think it was hard to watch. It really wasn't. It was like a somber feel. Unless you were a TCU fan. It was like a somber vibe watching.

[Rich]

I felt that way.

[Covino]

So deflated.

[Rich]

I felt that way last year. Anytime. Maybe it's a little harder to deflate footballs and spy on your opponents in college.

[Covino]

Deflated, pun intended.

[Rich]

I think I felt that way last year when Coach prime in Colorado would play a bigger opponent. You're like, come on, keep it close. And then when it was sort of a blowout or not a good game, you, you. You'd be like, ah, man, I think if it was close last night, you just want Belichick to compete and you almost want to feel like he's making an impact. Because if the team gets no better, then it's almost like, then what is even doing there?

[Covino]

And you know what?

[Rich]

Sold out crowds, people hyped.

[Covino]

They look to him for answers. Like, the players can only do so much. You expect them to be able to perform. But they're playing under Bill Belichick, so they're just looking at him to be like, can you do something? Yeah, what do we do? It's different, right? Like, yeah, I get it. If you're playing for another coach, you're still under their tutelage and under their play calling and everything else. But there's a sense of, yeah, we got this. We're on the field. I think when you're playing under him, you're looking to him for all the answers and the camera's on him, the attention's on him, and it's just an awkward situation. And as again, back to Colin Cowherd, he Was saying the biggest problem is Bill not putting enough emphasis on offense. And that's the game he has to play in college. So again, he needs to change the menu. He's the old chef. He's the grumpy chef that gets mad when you ask him to switch it up a little bit.

[Rich]

Now, I do think what joke stood.

[Covino]

Out the most as he got clowned.

[Rich]

That's a good one. I do think, though, that all these kids love playing for him. Maybe not like even if they don't love him personally. If you're playing for North Carolina, yeah.

[Covino]

The guy's got rings, he coached Tom Brady. But that's why you expect him to have some sort of crystal ball, some sort of magic trick to fix this. But that's not how it's going to work.

[Rich]

I think, though, that if you're a young kid, you almost feel that if you play for Belichick, more eyes will be on you because there's people that will be watching UNC games that previously didn't. So you're thinking that just your overall potential stock could rise. There's no question playing for UNC now where let's say you're a middle lineman or someone, that maybe someone becomes a late round draft pick that previously didn't get enough eyes because no one cared about North Carolina. So playing for Belichick still, especially with his recommendation, maybe in the combine or something, people, oh, he's a good kid. He's a good, you know, disappointer. Belichick has pulp.

[Covino]

I like him.

[Rich]

So I think the playing for him still has a big lore and buzz in college. But yesterday certainly wasn't the start fans wanted. He wanted anyone really wanted. Unless of course, you are a fan.

[Covino]

Of TCU and you. Honestly, I don't know. It was a bigger nightmare watching poor Bill Belichick look old and outdated and seemed to have overstayed his welcome as a coach. That's how it felt. Could he turn it around? Of course that's how it felt. What was a bigger nightmare? That or again, the Netflix documentary Unknown Number with that woman's face.

[Dan Byers]

This is my nightmare.

[Covino]

I don't know if you guys saw it.

[Rich]

I'm gonna watch.

[Covino]

Tonight I hear everyone buzzing about Nightmare the Catfish story.

[Rich]

I thought you were gonna say nightmare. Put these in order of. Oh, gotta turn it around. Belichick, Arch Manning, Alabama.

[Covino]

Belichick.

[Rich]

No, My, my thought is Alabama the X getting paid. Yeah, Alabama.

[Covino]

Really?

[Rich]

That was concerning.

[Covino]

Yeah, but look what they're paying Belichick.

[Rich]

I, I said 8 and 4 last week is. And I thought now that might be a little bit of two of an optimistic. There's a. But there's a, an expectation for an 8 for DeBoer and Alabama. Like Alabama went in thinking like, this should be a playoff team.

[Covino]

The honeymoon is over.

[Rich]

Yeah. So I think there's a real big expectation on Alabama to turn around. I think an individual player like Arch Manning, he's going to. What are they playing like? Coastal. Someone next week, some trash team. So he'll, he'll put up 400 yards.

[Covino]

Five year deal with North Carolina. 50 million over five years. So 10 million a year for the first three years guaranteed. Plus all the bonuses. Plus he has this resume of being a Super bowl champion. Always with the Brady thing on his back, too. Can he do it without Brady? And you know, people were buzzing about that last night.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah, Rich, they play San Jose State.

[Rich]

Oh, I was going to say I always thought of Coastal, if I can't remember, because that's usually a bad team. Right? Like, usually it's something Coastal Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina, they've been bowling recently. There's always a bad Coastal team.

[Covino]

And by the way, just when I thought I saw every meme possible clowning Belichick, there was another one, like, and another one and another one. What stood out the most to you? And do you feel bad? Because I do. But that's what happens when you stick around too long, man.

[Rich]

I mean, we talked about it with David Letterman, who knew perfectly when to get out.

[Covino]

Or we're all prisoners of the moment. And Arch Manning.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And Belichick, they turn it all around. It doesn't really mean all that much. And they prove us all wrong. And that would be great. No one's rooting against that. I would love that to happen. I think those are great stories, but.

[Rich]

You know, it's sort of like a.

[Covino]

Rocky start, you know, to say the least.

[Rich]

No, it's sort of a sad thing. And you could say sad, who gives a shiitake mushrooms? You could say, who cares? Because they've all made millions and millions and billions and billions and millions. But when you look at guys that stick around a little too long, I mean, some could argue at our other stomping ground, SiriusXM, there's controversy. Is like Howard staying or going. Do you think he loves that? All these podcasters are way popular now. No. Do you think Bill Belichick knows that in the NFL?

[Covino]

Speaking of, he was supposed to announce today the future of his broadcasting career and he pushed that again. Radio silence until September 8th. Now he's saying he's going to announce what's next. But the world changed around them. Much like the game of football.

[Rich]

When you see legends like late night talk show host Howard Stern, Bill Belichick and the talk of the town becomes younger coaches, younger podcasters. All that can't feel good for them. Even though they've made hundreds of millions of dollars and they're legends. It can't feel good when you're watching things change around you. And I'm sure Bill Belichick had those thoughts on his mind when he was laying in bed with his hot young girlfriend last night. Probably made him feel better. But still he had to be thinking like, I'm a damn seven time, you know, six time super bowl champion, more. He won with the Giants too. Eight rings total. Defensive coordinator two and then six, eight total.

[Dan Byers]

She's the same age as his backup quarterback, by the way.

[Rich]

The same age as his backup qb. He's got to be thinking like, oh man, did I make a mistake? It has to cross his mind because we all make those. You get a new job, you buy a house, you get a new car. Everyone goes through those moments where you're.

[Dan Byers]

Like, I don't think he is going to think he made a mistake. Remember we talked about this last year was that he's pretty much setting his son up now.

[Rich]

That is true. So you could say for that reason alone, yeah, doing it for the family. But, but you know, you get a new car, you get a new condo, new house, new anything there is a party. Like did I make the right choice? We all do it. It's human nature.

[Covino]

Yeah, because he's human and he can't avoid those thoughts. It's as simple as that. I believe that. I don't think he's doubting his abilities, his skill set. Yeah. But I'm sure there is some self doubt of did I stick around too long maybe, is it worth it, that sort of thing. It's just he's human at the beginning, middle and end of the day when he's sitting there in his bed, he's a human and it has to bother only human.

[Rich]

And we'll give him time.

[Covino]

Like we can't blood.

[Rich]

You know, it's the first game. It's the first game. But. But we live in a world of overreaction, Sam. So we're just feeding into the eye rolling overreaction.

[Covino]

As we said, we were here on Labor Day. Actually we were in for Dan Patrick. If you missed it, catch the podcast we were here yesterday, early in the morning. We were saying that it's all we have now. So of course we're going to speculate. It's all we got. Yeah. That doesn't mean we're rooting for it. I mean, I want to make that clear.

[Rich]

Bring it back to my dude, Juan Soto. He started out like ass. He's been the best player in baseball the last month or so. So it depends. Like, do you look at the total package or do you say, well, he stunk. Now he's good. So it's game one again for everyone for Alabama, Arch Manning, Bill Belichick, all the hot stories.

[Covino]

You know what stood out to me, Rich? And we'll set this up for some phone calls. What stood out to you? 87799 on Fox. That no one is safe when it comes to getting clowned online. Yeah. And it's all meant and fun. It's sports, it's entertainment. It's got a sting a little bit. But no one's immune to just being harassed online and bullied online and being made the joke. And I think that all came clear when Jordan became the cry face, when he, when we saw the goat Michael Jordan being clowned with the cry face online. That was it. You know, nobody's safe. And Bill Belichick was that guy last night.

[Rich]

Now, coming up, we're going to take your feedback on your observations, but I want to, I want to throw a little audible at you guys. I'm going to pull Peyton Manning at the line of scrimmage. Late 90s.

[Covino]

Don't pull an arch manning.

[Rich]

Late 90s.

[Covino]

He might be ass.

[Rich]

Late 90s. That's what I'm picturing like 1998 now, probably. No, that's like your elite banning. Yeah, that's early. Maybe like 0506. Manning. Yeah.

[Covino]

Just jumped like 6, 7. I know.

[Dan Byers]

Get your decades right.

[Covino]

Yeah, man.

[Rich]

I'm at the line of scrimmage pulling an audible. Look at the NFL, look at the NFL schedule. Who are you putting in the Arch Manning, Bill Belichick, Alabama category? Pick a team that you think may have a surprisingly bad week one and that you think we are going to talk about next week because there's going to be one. Like there's going to be one quote, good team. That's like, what happened? Is Joe Burrow done? Like, there's going to be one story week one that we're going to come in here on Monday like everyone else and talk about it. So think of that. We'll take your feedback next More Cavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Manny]

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

[Rich]

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[Manny]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.

[Rich]

And they're saying like, okay, pull this.

[Manny]

Until this. Pull that, turn this. It's just I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.

[Betrayal Weekly Host]

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just like, screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me. I feel Trapped. My breathing changes.

[Rich]

More money, more money, more money.

[Gemma Spegg]

And I went white.

[Betrayal Weekly Host]

I realized, wow, like, he is not a mentor. He's pretty much a monster. New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations. This didn't just happen to me. It happened to hundreds of of other people. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth.

[Rich]

I'm going to tell my story, and.

[Gemma Spegg]

I'm going to hold my head up.

[Betrayal Weekly Host]

Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Gemma Spegg]

Hi, it's Gemma Spegg, host of the psychology of your 20s. Remember when you used to have Science Week? Well, if you loved that, how would you feel about a full psychology month this September? At the psychology of your 20s, we're breaking down the interesting ways psychology applies to real life. Like how our pets actually change our brain chemistry. The psychology of office politics, whether happiness is even a real emotion. And my favorite episode. Why do we all secretly crave external validation? It's so interesting to me that we are so quick to believe others judgments of us and not our own. I found a study that said not being liked actually creates similar levels of pain as physical pain. Like, no wonder we care so much. So the secret is, if you want to be okay with not being liked, you have to know why your brain craves it in the first place. Learn more about the psychology of external validation, everyday life, and of course, your 20 this September. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Covino]

What is this?

[Rich]

Your favorite. The Jonas Brothers.

[Covino]

My favorite. Get out of here.

[Rich]

Are you gonna take your girlfriend to see them? No, your younger girlfriend, Jordan.

[Covino]

I was trying to see if I can get some tickets. I'm waiting for the cool guy discount. Waiting for the hookup. Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, we are Covino and Rich. And if you miss any of today's show or yesterday's show, we filled in for Dan Patrick. Just search the podcast. Search Covino and Rich. C O V. I know wherever you get your podcast after the show, Danny puts the best of up every day. So it's like a nice condensed version. And at the end of the week, we have a best of the week also available. So please follow rate and review our podcast. Five stars only. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich]

I told Sam to play the Jonas Brothers only human because I mean, athletes, coaches, only human. They're going to have thoughts of, man, do I wish I didn't do this. Should I have sat this one out? But you know what? I thought more about it. And listen, there's an expectation in Alabama we're talking about who is.

[Covino]

You should have played the human league, by the way. I'm only human of flesh and blood, born to make mistakes.

[Rich]

Why, why play it when you just did an acapella version?

[Covino]

I just gave you the harmony. I thought you were gonna hit the high note for me.

[Rich]

I look at the NFL and I look at college football. We talked about whose expectation is high. Alabama Debore. And we're talking, we're talking to our buddy Jeff hit us up from Alabama and he goes, dude, Alabama is definitely concerning. Everyone's calling for this guy's head already. All sides of the ball were alarming against FL State.

[Covino]

You don't think if he loses one.

[Rich]

More game, the boosters and everyone might be like, ouch.

[Covino]

I get Alabama has a certain expectation, right? But you don't think that Bill Belichick has a certain sort of pedigree he needs to live up to?

[Rich]

There was a sense of maybe he could turn the program around, but if anything, he just brought eyes to the program. There was never an expectation that Bill Belichick goes to UNC and they win a national championship. However, when Jordan Hudson's on the sidelines during a blowout loss wearing her razzly dazzly bell bottoms and just. It just feels. Something feels we weird about this.

[Dan Byers]

But you know, the meme said she was asking him for $20 to go to the concession stand.

[Covino]

Is that true?

[Rich]

She wanted ice cream, right, daddy?

[Covino]

I mean, Billy, I'm ah, so many jokes. What was the. The age gap of the score? What was that?

[Dan Byers]

41 to 7?

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

When Bill Belichick was 41, Jordan Hudson was 7. Oh, geez, that was 1.

[Covino]

That was quick, man. That meme came out like that, like.

[Rich]

As if someone mentally prepares these memes ahead of time. Our buddy Ryan, big sexy Ryan, showed video of remember the Titans. I could have just said remember one time, right? Remember, you guys, remember the Titans. Remember, remember the Titans. The daughter, the young daughter is always cheering on dad in the stands. And it was like, oh, there's Jordan.

[Covino]

Cheering on Bill, the young daughter. Wasn't that Hayden Panettiere?

[Rich]

A young Hayden Panettiere? Yeah.

[Covino]

So, yeah, I mean, there was so many jokes. I saw Bill Belichick. There was an AI meme instantly created where he's work. Where was he working? At Publix. Yeah, he's working. Yeah, he's got that.

[Rich]

He's a greeter.

[Covino]

He's a greeter reader now. Like, I mean, that's not cool. They didn't waste any time clowning the dude. Do you feel bad? Your observations. Let's go to Mike, South Dakota.

[Rich]

What's up, Mikey? What's going on, guys? Thanks for taking my call. No problem, man. What's up?

[Covino]

Yeah, kind of a two parter here.

[Rich]

One, I think Belichick, like, I think he deserves what he's getting, you know, on that because it's just he never, you know, he never saw any of his ex wives or anything like that and anything like, you know, I think he's not probably doing the job like he used to do. Even. I know he's much older, but, you.

[Covino]

Know, I think that's part of it.

[Rich]

I think he's under the spell of his young, young lady friend there. And then the other thing is, like, I think there's so many people that just watch games, like probably to be on social media and try to get that meme out as fast as anyone.

[Covino]

I do feel bad for like college athletes.

[Rich]

Like, you know, if they make one mistake, then they're all over everything that.

[Covino]

Really does feel like. I don't know if there's truth to this because I've never made a meme to clown somebody like this unless it was about Rich, maybe. Because I love to clown on Rich.

[Rich]

Thanks.

[Covino]

No, no. But like who does that? I feel like that is like they're in it for the gram and for the likes. Like, who can I clown? And this is why I'm watching.

[Rich]

I mean, by the way, the seems.

[Covino]

To be the, the end goal of what's going on with live events, not.

[Dan Byers]

Just sports fingers hovering over the send button.

[Rich]

But being the meme. Is that a bragging right? Like that kid, the Alabama middle finger kid? Is that, is that a bragging right for that kid or is it.

[Dan Byers]

But I think that's different though. He's a cat. He's referring to players getting torched.

[Covino]

If they make a mistake, they're just getting lit up. That's just the world we live in.

[Rich]

Let's go to Gus in Los Gatos. That means the Cats.

[Covino]

Yo, what up, Gus?

[Rich]

California. What's up, Gus? Hey, how we doing, Solas? Thanks for the call. Listen, I'll just start by saying I'm a die hard Eagles fan.

[Covino]

And while life's really good right now, you know, back in 2017 when they.

[Rich]

Beat Bill and Brady, it meant the world to me.

[Covino]

To know that's who they had to take down to be champions.

[Rich]

And I don't want to, I don't want history to, you know, look forward.

[Covino]

And say, you beat Bill Belichick. Big whoop after what he's doing in North Carolina. And I'm even thinking of New York Giants fans. I'm thinking of jets fans that beat him. You know, I want this guy's history to live out positively. That's what happens, man. It's like, yeah, Larry Holmes beat Muhammad Ali, but did he really beat Muhammad Ali? There's a lot of people that beat Muhammad Ali at the end of his career, but did they really beat Muhammad Ali? Did they beat the shell of what he once was?

[Rich]

Not everyone, not everyone goes out like TB12 and goes to the Bucks, but that's what happens. Wins the Super Bowl. Like right now, you could be, you could be saying that about Aaron Rodgers. If the Steelers stink and Aaron Rodgers, like, shows no real productivity, you might say, like, that's, that's the greatest passer.

[Covino]

So again, to prove that we're not the same idiots just waiting to pounce with a dumb meme, I think I speak on behalf of Rich and most people here. Unless you're some sort of Belichick or Patriots hater, which I get and I understand. I would love to see him turn it around. Same with Manning. Like, no one's rooting for anybody's failure, bro.

[Rich]

For storyline purposes alone, it would have been really cool for him to win last night. Cause then it's like, man, look at Bill. Did him losing in such a terrible fashion.

[Covino]

It left me in a weird mood. I was. I didn't want to feel like that last night.

[Rich]

Well, I have thoughts about the NFL. But first, let's go to Dan Buyer. Because, Dan, I pinpointed a few teams that I feel like we could be making fun of in a week from now.

[Dan Byers]

So looking forward to that. Should be an interesting week one. Will the Chargers be one? Well, they've got that game in Brazil against the Chiefs and Najee Harris said yesterday that he's going to play in the game and in fact was a full participant in practice today. So that bodes well for the running back. In advance of the season opener Friday, the New York Giants are listing first round pick quarterback Jackson Dart is the backup to Russell Wilson on the team's depth chart. That means Jameis Winston is the third team quarterback. Jaguars listing Travis Hunter as a first team wide receiver, second team corner on their depth chart ahead of week one. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel says wide receiver Stefan Diggs will play against the Raiders on Sunday. The Bills have the Ravens on Sunday night. Today, Buffalo signed free agent wide receiver Gabe Davis, who was drafted by the Bills and spent the first four years of his career in Buffalo. Ohio State's the new number one team in the latest AP Top 25 College Football Poll. Penn State is second, followed by LSU in at three, Georgia's in at four, Miami comes in at five, Oregon sixth. Texas drops from one to seven, Clemson at eight, Notre Dame and nine in South Carolina. 10. Florida State debuts at 14. Alabama drops to 21 at the US Open. Second seed Carlos Alcaraz onto the semifinals with a straight sets victory today, while Marquita Vendru Sova withdrew from her quarterfinal match in the women's draft draw against Top Scene Arena Sabalenka. So Sabalenka is onto the semifinals to face Jessica Pigula. Guys, back to you.

[Rich]

No thanks. Dan Byer. Now I'm going to go over this week one, you know what teams could be the Bill Belichick, the Arch Manning, the Alabama of the NFL. We'll get to that next. But Dan Byer one, one quick question to clear something up for because I don't know and I can't be the only one. When you create the depth chart at quarterback, that's because you have to report that into the league because let's say this a situation that calls for Jameis Winston if he suited up, does it matter where they're listed? Because Dable at any point could be like I'm feeling Winston. He goes in. Right.

[Dan Byers]

The new, the new rules would allow Winston to be the emergency quarterback. So while he wouldn't be active on the 45 list, he would be able to come in and replace a quarterback if the first two were out. Because.

[Rich]

So your coach does have to go to number two.

[Covino]

Yes.

[Dan Byers]

Because he would be the active player.

[Rich]

So even if, even if you're carrying the third, he can't go in ahead.

[Dan Byers]

Of the second if the third quarterback is active on the 45 man game day roster. Remember we have inactive.

[Rich]

But you wouldn't. But you want to likely have him active unless. Correct.

[Dan Byers]

Correct. Which is the 49ers. The Brock Purdy NFC championship game with they couldn't do anything because of Josh Johnson getting knocked out and yeah. Garoppolo's injury.

[Covino]

You're right. You're right.

[Rich]

Well, thank you Dan by for clearing that up. I, I couldn't be the only one that did it now. All right, so listen, coming up we'll talk a lot of NFL Week 1, and I'm still going to give my boy Juan Soto props throughout the day. So hang tight. More Kavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich]

No, I didn't audition.

[Covino]

I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years.

[Honey German]

Oh, wow. That's a real G talk right there.

[Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Honey German]

We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators and and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success you were destined to be a star. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of cheeseme, a lot of laughs and those amazing vivas you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity struggles and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewashed because you do. You have to do the code switching.

[Covino]

I won't say whitewashed because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. But the whole pretending and co, you.

[Rich]

Know, it takes a toll on you.

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me. I feel trapped. My breathing changes.

[Rich]

More money, more money, more money.

[Gemma Spegg]

And I went white.

[Betrayal Weekly Host]

I realized, wow, like, he is not a mentor. He's pretty much a monster. New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations. This didn't just happen to me. It happened to hundreds of other people. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth.

[Rich]

I'm going to tell my story and.

[Gemma Spegg]

Hi, it's Jemma Speg, host of the psychology of your 20s. Remember when you used to have science week at school? Well, if you loved that, how would you feel about a full psychology month this September? At the psychology of your 20s, we're breaking down the interesting ways psychology applies to real life. Like how our pets actually change our brain chemistry, the psychology of office politics, whether happiness is even a real emotion. And my favorite episode. Why do we all secretly crave external validation? It's so interesting to me that we are so quick to believe others judgments of us and not our own. I found a study that said not being liked actually creates similar levels of pain as physical pain. Like, no wonder we care so much. So the secret is, if you want to be okay with not being liked, you have to know why your brain craves it in the first place. Learn more about the psychology of external validation, everyday life, and of course, your twenties. This September. Listen to the psychology of your twenties on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Covino]

Now. Dan Byers, right, you can have a stinker to open up your album. Doesn't mean that the rest of the album is going to suck. So it doesn't mean that Bill Belichick can't turn it around. However, you expect that first track to hit just like them bones, Allison Chains, because if this didn't hit, I would have checked out down in a hole and rooster and Angry Chair and wood. First track has to hit and Bill Belichick blew it.

[Rich]

You're saying that if you're going to prepare all offseason, all of camp for game one, you gotta be better.

[Covino]

Bring it. You bring it strong for your first track, for your first appearance, for your first anything, you know, your first appearance, whatever it is, man, you gotta bring it. And Allison Chains brought it with that one. Good call, Iowa. Sam. Danny G super producing 87799 on Fox is the number spots back on the videos we're streaming live on our YouTube channel. That's me, House of Chingasos right here again, YouTube.com@covinoenrich FSR live from Fox Sports Radio studio, it's time for a tire act play of the day. It's the run that put the game away for TCU last night and sunk Belichick's UNC debut.

[Dan Byers]

Barnes in the backfield. Sam's directly behind Hoovers and the shotgun.

[Covino]

First and ten turn give Barnes.

[Dan Byers]

They come from the edge.

[Covino]

Barnes finds a thing.

[Rich]

30, 35, 40. Barnes got a right hand side line. Down to the 40, down to the 30. They don't have an angle. Barnes will SC take the horn. Touchdown TCU 75 yard touchdown run. Ooh, yeah.

[Covino]

What I call Les Miserables. Yeah, it was like a somber vibe. I don't know. I sat there like I felt so off last night because of that game and because of that horrible Netflix documentary.

[Rich]

Unknown number that is courtesy of Learfield. That's our tire rack play of the day. And for over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection, convenient insulation options. Options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com the way tire buying should be. Now, you said documentaries. It's like so many documentaries that I, I've started so many and I'm like, which one do I continue? The catfish one might be the one. But then I'm like, I'm too into the Jerry Jones Cowboys one.

[Covino]

Oh, America's team was great.

[Rich]

Hurricane Katrina One, just watch the first.

[Covino]

Two of that one. So third one is lots of great.

[Rich]

Great documentaries to watch when you're not watching sports. But we got to like a lot of lot of great baseball tonight and then football two days away. Now I said who could be the Belichick, the Alabama, the Arch Manning of the NFL come the end of this weekend? Because after Thursday, Friday and Sunday, Sunday night, there's going to be a team that came into the season with high hopes that just, you know, doesn't have a great week one. And it's going to be unfortunately, probably one of our talking points. Colin, Dan, Patrick, Stephen A. Everyone's going to be talking McAfee, you name it. Barstool. There's going to be someone in the NFL that gets the Belichick, Alabama, Arch Manning treatment. And I have a couple candidates. So hear me out. This is what I'm thinking.

[Covino]

Well, with this conversation, you have to have a certain level of expectation. So of course where the high expectation in the NFL.

[Rich]

So with Najee Harris back and Dan Beyer brought that up, up the game that leaves the country, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers. I think whoever loses that game, there's going to be a layer of man, the Chargers can't do anything to get to that next level. And then if the Chiefs lose, then it's. I knew it.

[Dan Byers]

Shake up in the AFC West.

[Rich]

It's, it's over. Dynasty, Travis Kelsey's engaged Mahomes, they were, they showed they were human last year and it's over. So I think the loser of that game is there's going to be a big overreaction to man, the Chargers just did. They're never going to do it or the Chiefs. I told you, Dynasty's over. I think unfortunately me and Dan Byers, teams who go head to head, I think if the 49ers lose in Seattle, they're slight favorites on the road. I think there'll be a lot of people that doubt Kyle Shanahan, Brock, Purdy, McCaffrey, Kittle. With all those guys playing, if they don't beat Seattle, there's going to be a lot of dupe. Window close, bro. Window closed. Niners are done.

[Dan Byers]

I think so. I think so as well. I think that's a fair point. I think it could be a fistfight. I think it could be 17, 14, 20 to 14 sort of game.

[Rich]

And if the Niners don't come out with a win, the narrative will be windows closed. And the last one, I think you could argue that the Broncos, because there is such an expectation coming out of the AFC West.

[Covino]

Danny G. That you're gonna say Rogers again. Another story of overstaying your welcome.

[Rich]

Yeah, that. That could very well. But. But they're playing the jets, so I guess if the jets do win, you'll hear a lot of that. But I think the Broncos, they have a cake game at home against the Titans, so if they don't whoop ass, then everyone's going to be like, Broncos. I thought they were supposed to be a playoff team.

[Manny]

Why are TSA rules so confusing?

[Rich]

You got a hoodie on. Take it all.

[Manny]

I'm Manny.

[Covino]

I'm Noah.

[Rich]

This is Devin.

[Manny]

And we're best friends and journalists with a new podcast called no such Thing where we get to the bottom of questions like that. Why are you screaming? I can't expect what to do now if the rule was the same, go off on me. I deserve it, you know.

[Rich]

Lock him up.

[Manny]
