KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Processing Tragedy & Finding Escape in Sports (03:12–16:00)

• The episode began amid a "gross" and "awful" feeling (03:15), referencing the day's horrific news and viral violence. Covino and Rich agreed on the emotional toll and disorienting nature of modern tragedy, especially as it plays out in real-time on social media.

  • Covino: "Everybody feels kind of gross today with all the crappy news." (03:12)
  • Rich: "Let's escape to the world of sport, shall we?" (03:18)

• They stressed the unique capacity of sports and music to unite people, dissolve differences, and facilitate healing after tragedy.

  • Covino: "When you're at a concert, at a ball game—those differences go away. That's the beauty of what we do." (10:03)
  • Rich: “Mike Piazza hitting that home run, that... meant more than you would ever imagine for that city.” (11:22) — recalling 9/11 and sports’ role in New York’s recovery.

2. The Dark Side of Modern Media and Desensitization (12:47–16:00)

• Multiple mentions of violent viral video footage and concern for the desensitizing impact constant exposure has on society, especially on youth.
  • Rich: "We see and hear everything... It's a lot to take in." (14:46)
  • Both reflected on how, despite historical precedent for violence, today’s connectivity compounds trauma.

3. Fan Behavior: 'What Are We Doing?' (16:01–26:16)

• Pivoting to sports, the hosts launched into a candid conversation about deteriorating fan behavior in stadiums, drawing parallels between societal violence and lack of etiquette among fans.
  • Rich: "Fans, what are we doing? Like, three things—" (17:05)
  • Examples include viral brawls, including the “Karen Ball Snatcher” incident, and physical altercations between Texans and Rams fans.

3.1. Fan Etiquette Breakdown

• Violence at games, especially men assaulting women during altercations, was harshly condemned.

  • Covino: "We've seen this. Kids are there... but especially at a football game where people are filming and watching you." (17:27)
  • Dan Beyer: "Too often now in the past few years at sporting events." (17:48)

• Poor conduct includes selling tickets to rival fans, leaving games early, and failing to offer basic respect to families and children.

  • Josh Allen Critique: “Buffalo Bills fan base, saying, like, hey, guys, have a little more faith when we’re down in a game." (19:56)

• Covino and Rich riffed humorously but seriously on the need for basic decency (“Don’t punch anyone,” “Don’t leave early,” “Don’t sell tickets to a rival,” “Watch your language around kids”).

3.2. Memorable Quotes & Moments

• Covino: “It’s supposed to be family-friendly, dude, honestly ... grown people behaving that way, especially around kids and families.” (24:38)
• Rich: “If you're at a concert or game ... and the whole section has agreed that we're not standing, don't be the one person in the front that's standing during, like, the ballad, the fifth song of the show.” (25:28)

4. Sportsmanship and Fan Self-Reflection: Building a Better Culture (32:57–39:16)

• The hosts challenged fans to not boo their own struggling teams or individual players, noting the psychological blows it delivers.

  • Rich: "If you have a player that's struggling, booing them does no good... I'm not booing a guy on my team." (34:43)
  • Dan Beyer: Recounts a recent Michigan/Michigan State game incident and the role of security in diffusing “taunting” situations (38:42).

• Iowa Sam highlighted toxic fan gambling habits: “If you wager on sports and lose ... don’t get on social media or find this person in real life and harass them.” (36:41)

• The group agreed: we are all sometimes guilty, but modern fan conduct needs a collective reset.

  • Rich: “Go to a game and... act like an adult. Don’t be punching strangers. So embarrassing.” (37:36)

5. Baseball Drama and the Thrill of the Chase (50:42–54:04)

• The hosts briefly shifted to discussing the emotional rollercoaster of late-season baseball:
  • Covino: “I've never seen a major league team with this much potential play so poorly." (50:42)
  • Rich: “I like that franticness... It’s sort of exciting to wake up and not just my game, but all these games mean so much now." (52:33)

SUMMARY

This episode was a thoughtful, occasionally raw meditation on what sports mean in an increasingly chaotic world. Covino and Rich used the day’s heaviest headlines to initiate a necessary, unfiltered discussion on how we conduct ourselves—as citizens, as fans, and as people in public spaces. With humor and honesty, they challenged listeners to “be better,” underscoring how sports and music can serve as an antidote to division and despair, while also frankly diagnosing the ways in which fan culture is slipping into toxicity. Their “what are we doing?” mantra became both a critique and a rallying cry—making it a powerful, reflective broadcast for everyone, regardless of team or tribe.

---

For fans and newcomers alike, this episode is a gut-check: how can we do better, not just for our teams, but for each other?

[Steve Covino]

That was.

[Rich Davis]

That was an amazing. When he did do it live, he was great. We'll play you out with. What did they play about with?

[Steve Covino]

I think it was Sting.

[Rich Davis]

Sting?

[Steve Covino]

What do you mean, play us out?

[Rich Davis]

Play us out. What does that mean?

[Steve Covino]

How does it end the show? But how does it got here? Can I give you two examples that baffle me? How does a guy who broadcast for a living and has taken his career that far not understand will play you out with Sting? I think he was stressed out and he just. Your brain isn't freaking right.

[Rich Davis]

And you're like, I don't know what that means.

[Steve Covino]

And have you heard this story? Did you hear the big revelation that of Ral. This Chapman had? Do you guys know the story? Araldes Chapman keeps his body in check. He's ultra fit. What is he, 37 years old? But he's super fit and in shape and he's having a career year. And I believe the Red Sox just offered him a two or three year deal.

[Rich Davis]

Chappie owns the Yankees. I love that.

[Steve Covino]

Couldn't do crap for the Yankees, but he owns them. They should have pulled the tarp out for that dude because he was sweating bullets every time he was on the mound. Sucked for the end.

[Rich Davis]

Chap couldn't do crap.

[Steve Covino]

But did you hear the story? It's like, come on. A guy who built his life and career in the world of pitching had the most obvious revelation. There must be like. It must be lost in translation, because here's what they're saying, and it makes no sense. They're saying that he had like an aha moment where someone said to him, like, hey, you ever think about going inside outside when it comes to your fastball and placing your pitches? Like, instead of just throwing heat, like placing your pitches. And apparently the story goes. Or all this. Chapman was like, I could be here. Nobody ever said that. Unbelievable. And all of A sudden it clicked and now he's going inside out. He's throwing.

[Rich Davis]

Are you saying before he. Recently he was like a Little Leaguer who just threw hard and that's it.

[Steve Covino]

Look up the story. You're going to be like, there must be something missing here. There is a joke. But that's the story everybody's telling. That's why he just realized to go inside, outside, and. And, you know, hit the plate in different spots.

[Rich Davis]

Sometimes it takes you a minute to figure it out. I just saw last night.

[Steve Covino]

How do you not know that?

[Rich Davis]

Wheel of Fortune. That's your living on Wheel of Fortune. Which. Who watches? Our boomers. Our parents, Right? Wheel of Fortune in jeopardy. Last night, apparently there was a Wheel of Fortune clip where Vanna White finally realized the way that the wheel has that distinct sound, like the. Is the big rubber bands on the wheel. And she's like, oh, I never thought about it. Never thought about it. I've been working on that show since 1980. What's up, Dan Beyer? Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey, guys. You know, I've talked about. I went to the Oasis concert this past weekend, and there's this clip that has been circulating about Noel Gallagher, and he talked about how in the 1990s, at the peak of their. Their stardom, fandom, whatever you want to say, they were playing concerts to stadiums, and his pedal board, he just had it all cranked to 10. And they were asked, they were like, why do you do that? He goes, well, because they go to 10. That's what they do.

[Steve Covino]

They thought you just put it on.

[Dan Beyer]

So they're making all these hit songs and hit albums, and he didn't even know his pedalboard worked.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, my God. Yeah. And that's baffling to me. You build your career in this. You would think, you know, the obvious, Bill O'Reilly, Noel Gallagher or all this Chapman, it never dawned on him to throw inside, outside. Like, isn't that what pitching is? That's the problem with pitching today. Just a bunch of flamethrowers gassing it up to 108 miles per hour. That's where last they last three innings. So that's the story. We're sticking to it. We have lots to get to today and we can't fake the funk. Rich and I wear our emotions on our sleeve. Definitely a weird vibe in the air today. We're going to do our best to do the fun show we always do, but, you know, really horrible stories in the past few days. Can't ignore that.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you're just scrolling on social media and it's hard to avoid the Charlie Kirk story, who was killed earlier today.

[Steve Covino]

Whoa, whoa.

[Rich Davis]

The video, it's official. Official? He passed away.

[Steve Covino]

Are you serious? And that's horrible, man.

[Rich Davis]

The video, I don't recommend you look at it. It's horrific. And then they released further video of the. The poor Ukrainian girl that got stabbed on the bus. So it's like everywhere. Feel like you're. Did I say buzz? On a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. You know, you're scrolling to try to find light stories about the Buffalo Bills or the Yankees. And like, every other scroll is like an awful video.

[Steve Covino]

What I was gonna say is. Well, first off, awful. Awful. And God bless everybody, because I feel sad for humanity. That's why my heart hurts. And I'm serious. I'm, like, not an emotional guy when it comes to, I don't know, being a sensitive guy. I guess I could be angry and passionate. I'm an emotional dude.

[Rich Davis]

Not like Ryan Clark angry.

[Steve Covino]

No, not like that. But I gotta tell you, man, these stories are hitting me and I don't like them. I have a teenage daughter. I just feel bad for the youth and how they view life and the quality of life. And I just feel bad that kids today have to grow up seeing this stuff. And it's not the first time or the last, unfortunately. But political violence should never be a thing, regardless of your views. And this should not be the way. And the reason I bring that up is because I want you to appreciate the things that bring us together, like sports. And another one for me, music. Nothing better than being at a concert, being at a ball game, and seeing all those differences go away. Because we have a common goal here, and that's to have fun, sing along, watch our team win. And that's the beauty of what we do. This is the escape. And I just want to honestly put the emphasis on, well, you know, prayers to the family and the horrible news.

[Rich Davis]

But two little kids.

[Steve Covino]

Why sports is really so great and important in our lives. Because we need that escape. Otherwise you just drown in misery. These stories are horrible.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Don't forget really quick, Rich, I was just gonna mention tomorrow, September 11th.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly.

[Rich Davis]

The heaviest day.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

And think back to how sports helped heal.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, I totally brought us back.

[Steve Covino]

Sports brought us back to normal.

[Rich Davis]

We were in Manhattan that day. And, you know, I was a New Yorker and New Yorker at heart still. And Mike Piazza hitting that home run, that was it, oddly, meant more than you would ever imagine for that city.

[Steve Covino]

No, it was our first step. To normal again or trying to get back to normal again.

[Rich Davis]

So to not think that sports is part of the healing process and sports is part of the process that brings people together. Like you said, music, sports, commonalities, like.

[Steve Covino]

Or when life is tough, period, personally, like that escape you need sometimes and hopefully we can provide some of that. But we can't lie and, and say like that story today doesn't hurt our hearts and make us feel terrible. We feel horrible.

[Rich Davis]

You know, you also think, you think like, all right, now what's the retaliation possibilities? And like do we live in a world where it's just going to be political differences, have people killing each other back and forth? It just.

[Steve Covino]

I didn't even know that dude died. If you don't know what we're talking about, you're coming home from work, you're not on social media. Charlie Kirk, very controversial dude, Very, very popular.

[Rich Davis]

You know, he's the guy that you would see always on TikTok or Instagram debating college students.

[Steve Covino]

Was shot on a Utah campus today.

[Rich Davis]

And the video is horrif.

[Steve Covino]

I haven't seen it.

[Rich Davis]

Don't look at it.

[Steve Covino]

I haven't seen the close up. I saw the car one and that was enough.

[Rich Davis]

I'm promising you do not. And again, like I said in the last 24 hours, the Ukrainian girl on the train, the fact that they release more video and you're like, oh, oh no, I don't want to see this.

[Dan Beyer]

And it's sad to see the family photos of Kirk on social media right now.

[Rich Davis]

This is heartbreaking. That and Danny both stories, while not related, are just two reminders of like, what are we doing? Where's. Let's, let's not be that.

[Steve Covino]

And remember, you don't have to agree with the guy. And if you do, that's fine, but you don't have to agree with the guy. It's not how people handle things. And kids have to. People have to have a greater respect for life. For life. And again, I just feel sad for humanity. Like everything about that video, about everything that's happened in the past 48 hours.

[Rich Davis]

Everything about that train video, like the scared look on that girl's face, that's horrible. The, the people there that really didn't do anything to help and just the apathy, just everything about that and everything about today. I think we do need to talk.

[Steve Covino]

About how desensitized are people to not even try to help that young girl or to do what they did today to that poor young man. When you think about it, let's say you don't like this guy or his views or whatever. He's still a 33 year old man.

[Rich Davis]

31.

[Steve Covino]

31. Oh my God. 31 year old, three kids. You know, just a horrible story, man. Horrible, horrible story. So my point again isn't to lean into the misery. It's to just remind you again how important sports. And again, I bring it to music Rich, how important those things are to bringing us back to something fun and normal to take our minds off of that stuff.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. So I'm glad you brought it up because. Only because there is like an underlying vibe even in the hallways here. An underlying weird vibe. Like, yo, today's a weird day.

[Steve Covino]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

Like. Like a surreal video that we've all been subject to a terrible, unnecessary death. Like I said.

[Steve Covino]

And Mike brings up a really good point. Mike.

[Rich Davis]

Your political differences, your sports differences, your music differences. Imagine like we handle our differences that way. What are we doing?

[Steve Covino]

It's not the way. And it's not that things are worse. Maybe they are. But things like this have always happened. It's just we're exposed to it in a much different way.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

You know, Much different way. And that affects us all in a much different way.

[Rich Davis]

You know, Vietnam, political differences, then it just. We live in a world now where because everyone's got a camera on them at all times, they have a video camera at all moments.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

We see and hear every.

[Steve Covino]

The same way. We all consume every sports. We know everything that's going on in the world of sports. We see all these horrible things all the time. It's a lot to take in.

[Rich Davis]

You said tomorrow being the Sad anniversary of 9, 11. I've said to you before that I'm almost. I almost feel like it was, thank God, a good thing that technology wasn't where it was in O1 because imagine of all the horrific stuff you. It's already horrific. Think of all the more horrific stuff you would have seen had cameras been on phones in 2001. Had you been able to say if every phone had a video camera. And it just. So, hey, just keeping it real and we'll get into sports again. This, that is the escape, right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I do want to talk about. I do want to talk about the Buffalo Bills and the Mets failing. He's looking like little leaguers at times.

[Steve Covino]

Get into it. Let's get into it. Where do you want to start? Fans and fan etiquette kind of ties in. Right. Because people are out of control. It does, yeah, it ties in. It's like passion levels are A little off. Something's a little off.

[Rich Davis]

Karen Ball Snatcher was the big story.

[Steve Covino]

Karen Ball Snatcher. You know, that's more of a fun story when you think about it.

[Rich Davis]

I know. Let's go back to that.

[Steve Covino]

Let's talk about Karen Ball Snatcher, the.

[Dan Beyer]

Texans fan who got her face beat in.

[Steve Covino]

That's the one. That's just horrific, too. Honestly, it ties in because I'm like, what is going on? People need to chill. There's something called fan etiquette. I think we all need to practice that or just etiquette in life, period. How about some class? I'm from the East Coast, Rich class.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know what it is.

[Steve Covino]

I don't have class.

[Rich Davis]

I've seen some New York Boston or New York Philly battles with fans where it's like, yo, you're a bunch of grownups. What are you fighting and throwing punches?

[Steve Covino]

You.

[Rich Davis]

But you know, Danny, I've seen it equally bad out here with Giants and Dodgers fans and Niners fans and Raiders fans. Like, you know, people got to Cowboys fans to control themselves, I think. Is that. Is that lesson one of the day? Like, let's all get a freaking grip in control of ourselves.

[Steve Covino]

People are on edge, I guess, and maybe this all ties together, you know? Well, in California, we have a lot.

[Dan Beyer]

Of different fan bases and passions run high at all the games.

[Rich Davis]

So we call this, this first little segment of the day. Like, fans, what are we doing? Like, like three things.

[Steve Covino]

I think you need to work out the title of this discussion.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I think so, too.

[Steve Covino]

But fans, what are we doing? In parentheses, what are we doing? What are we doing?

[Rich Davis]

What are we doing?

[Steve Covino]

What are we doing? It's this terrible, terrible story between the Texans and the Rams.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And it's the fans. It's the fans, and you see them get into a brawl. It's gone viral. It's wild to see. And what's really gross about it, I thought we were all told to, like, not, like, get into it with women in this way. You don't put your hands on a woman ever. But especially at a football game where people are filming and watching you. We've seen this. Kids are there.

[Dan Beyer]

And too often now, the past few years at sporting events.

[Steve Covino]

What's going on with that? Because let's just say it happened to you. If it happened to me, say a woman steps up to me, she doesn't like my face. Let's say I was just cheering for the opposing team.

[Rich Davis]

You remove yourself from the situation.

[Steve Covino]

I pull up Paulie Walnuts and what I mean by that, I don't whack her. I put my hands on like, hey, okay, imagine Paulie Walnuts or Silvo. Silvio. Silvio. What's his name? Spot?

[Rich Davis]

Silvio.

[Steve Covino]

Silvio. Hey.

[Rich Davis]

Oh.

[Steve Covino]

Put your hands up and be like, hey, sorry.

[Rich Davis]

Remove yourself.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, back off. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. Right?

[Dan Beyer]

But if she winds up missing next week, you don't know anything about it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's what Paulie Walnuts would do. I just don't know my hands up and be like, hey, sorry. Walk away. In this clip, you see Rams fans beating on a woman and vice versa. You see a Texans fan, a woman with a bloody nose, and I watch this clip back and forth. I'm like, is that because a dude.

[Rich Davis]

Hit her in the face?

[Steve Covino]

Dudes are throwing punches. It's like, that needs to stop.

[Rich Davis]

A couple weeks ago at a preseason game, remember, there were two guys squared up and a guy got his pants pulled down. He was getting beat on, like, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And not only that, Rich, it's one of those, like, upper tier sort of brawls where it looks like anyone could and anyone topple over. Like Reggie Jackson and Naked Gun, the.

[Rich Davis]

Fat woman and Naked Gun that fell on the Queen. Yeah, exactly. We don't need that happening.

[Steve Covino]

It looks like they could go falling off the edge of the.

[Dan Beyer]

The top of the bowl there at. So far. You don't want to be fighting up there.

[Steve Covino]

You know how deep it is.

[Dan Beyer]

That drop.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe that's our first lesson. If you get into a tussle at a stadium, get away from the ledge. The ledge. That looks horrific to me. So they're brawling there and I can't say, like a hypocrite. I love watching a good fight. You know, it's like watching a train wreck. Like, you want to watch, but it doesn't mean, like, I think that these.

[Dan Beyer]

People in not a fight with a woman involved with men.

[Steve Covino]

But it's horrific. You guys have to see what we're talking about here. Danny, you're the first person that sent me this, though I don't know how I missed it.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, there's new angles of it that came out today, which is why it's back all over social media.

[Steve Covino]

Another.

[Rich Davis]

Another fan story. And Cavino, you have been guilty of this at times. Can't say I haven't either. But Josh Allen calling out the Buffalo Bills fan base, saying, like, hey, guys, have a little more faith when we're down in a game. So fans are fighting, fans are not Sticking by their team. And then Matt LaFleur getting mad saying, hey, packers fans, why are you selling your tickets to other fans?

[Dan Beyer]

Season ticket holders, what's up? And as a Raiders fan, this has been going on, obviously, in Las Vegas since they opened Allegiant, because fans can make their money back by selling a couple of key games. And when you have a lot of Lions fans willing to pay top dollars for those seats, this is what happens.

[Steve Covino]

Okay? So it's a bigger conversation based on the terrible news. And I just saw Richard Wright. TMZ confirmed that Charlie Kirk passed away at 31. We need to be better overall. Okay, everybody, Both sides, regardless. We need to be better in sports. There's also fan etiquette. Yeah, where are we slipping in sports? The brawl's got to stop. Punching a woman. This woman's face is. It looks like she's in a UFC fight and she just got kicked in the face.

[Rich Davis]

She's wearing a J.J. watt jersey. He even responded on Twitter and he's like, yo, what's going on here?

[Steve Covino]

Again, there's Right. Danishi's right. New angles of the wild brawl have been released. Texans Rams fans going crazy. That needs to stop. We need to put the phones down. That's part of the problem, right? Put the phones down and stop this where your first instinct is to, hey, let me get this and put it on the gram. This will be great for my IG story. I know it's fun to get lots of likes, but we really need to put it down. Like, hey, maybe we should break this up.

[Rich Davis]

So would you say a good. A good name for this conversation would be, what are we doing, fans?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, what are we doing?

[Rich Davis]

What are we doing?

[Steve Covino]

What are we doing?

[Rich Davis]

What are you doing? So.

[Steve Covino]

And then, like I said, like you said, Dan Rich, fan etiquette. Leaving early because your team is down. Josh Allen's absolutely right.

[Rich Davis]

Don't leave early.

[Steve Covino]

Have some faith in the team. It's not over yet.

[Rich Davis]

Don't punch anyone in the face. Don't leave early. And don't sell. And don't sell your tickets to the opposing team in a rivalry.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. You know, it's best to just. I know this might be tough for people on a budget, like, give the tickets away. Give them away.

[Rich Davis]

You saw the average. The average ticket price.

[Steve Covino]

Ah, yeah, I know, I know. But, you know, mortgage payment.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Good. It feels to make a little kid's wildest dreams come true. Like a kid. What are you doing?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not Willy Wonka. Relax.

[Steve Covino]

Why?

[Rich Davis]

You don't have the right to sell your tickets. You don't have the right to fight somebody and cause them bodily harm. Speaking of Willy Wonka, did you see that meme that ball snatching Karen took Will? I've got a golden ticket. Charlie's ticket. That's my golden tick. That's mine.

[Dan Beyer]

There's a meme where she's stealing a Frisbee from Air Bud.

[Steve Covino]

I saw that. There's me. I love it. You know what we need? You know what we need? Karen Ball Snatcher right now.

[Rich Davis]

Perhaps she Snatcher brought levity where.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, she's a common enemy that we all could get behind. Not anymore.

[Rich Davis]

It's mine.

[Steve Covino]

Karen ball Snatcher. So, based on. Well, again, overall, we need to be better as people. Where do we need to be better as fans? Leaving early, Punching a woman in the face? How about don't punch anybody at the game?

[Dan Beyer]

Rich has no problem leaving early.

[Rich Davis]

You know what? I'm guilty of that, but I'm not.

[Steve Covino]

One you might not agree with.

[Rich Davis]

Rich, I got one that you.

[Steve Covino]

No, I got one. No, I got one.

[Rich Davis]

I also have one.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, great. Camino, you want to know what irks me? Let me start.

[Rich Davis]

What are we doing here?

[Steve Covino]

What are we doing here, guys?

[Rich Davis]

What are we doing here? It's the name of the conversation label that.

[Steve Covino]

What are we doing? This happens at restaurants where they're watching sports.

[Rich Davis]

Put that on the YouTube page. Across the page. What are we doing here?

[Steve Covino]

This happens at the game. And it only was brought to my attention when I became a dad. I have a teenage daughter now, but when she was really little, I noticed this to be bothersome to me as a young dad. It's when people are letting the booze flow, and that's part of it. And I get it. And they got their beer helmet on. They're all excited to be at the game, but they're just dropping F bombs and vulgarity like. Like they're sailors. It's like, I get it. You're with the bros. You're chest bumping. You're here having fun, but there are families around. So I'm not saying don't have fun. I'm not even. Not even saying don't be belligerent and like. And bro it up. But, like, you gotta sound like a. Like a. Like a trash bag. It's supposed to be a family friendly dude, honestly. And Rich, this is something we preach. I don't behave that way, so I don't expect other grown people to be behaving that way. Especially around kids and families. So that's the problem. I got. Let's be better. Especially when there's kids around. If there's no kids around and you know this and your section is like, yeah, we're just going crazy. Adult section or something, then go. Go all out. I don't care.

[Rich Davis]

Are we coming up with how to be better? Fan rules. Because I got. I thought of so many more.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, welcome to the show.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say I'm here. I'm here.

[Steve Covino]

We're trying to figure out how to be better.

[Rich Davis]

What are we doing here?

[Steve Covino]

It's fan etiquette. I feel like we're slipping.

[Rich Davis]

Can I give you. Can I give you a quickie? I have. I have by far the best one. Sam, I know you got one.

[Steve Covino]

Mine was best.

[Rich Davis]

Donald Trump of radio. Mine's the best. The best of all. The best. The best example, I believe Mine was better. I have.

[Steve Covino]

I have the tag O Valia.

[Rich Davis]

I have the best reason why fans need to be better. I'll tell you that coming up. But I do want to say, if you're at a concert, this might. This might be controversial. If you're at a concert or game, okay? And the whole section has agreed that we're not standing. Don't be the one person in the front that's standing during, like the ballad, the fifth song of the show, self.

[Steve Covino]

Awareness about you to know that there's someone behind you that might not be standing.

[Rich Davis]

You. You stand up with two strikes on the batter during a jam. You stand up during the big songs. But when the ballad's being played and it's the middle of the fifth inning.

[Steve Covino]

Sit your ass down.

[Rich Davis]

Down in front. Down in front.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, and.

[Rich Davis]

And don't wear a big hat either. All right, we got more. Kavino and Rich. Where are fans going wrong? We'll break that down. We'll try to keep it light. We will give away some prizes. We'll do a little midweek major. We'll play Mike's words of wisdom, all coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio with Covino and Rich.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, yo, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Yo, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

Football's back, bro. And you where you'll find me on Sundays?

[Rich Davis]

Probably on your couch. I know your AC is broken, so you could come over my place because I got multiple TVs. I got the TCL screen.

[Steve Covino]

Why don't you brag about it? And he's got air conditioning.

[Rich Davis]

The picture is unreal. Listen, football's back. And I always talk about how football needs to be the perfect viewing experience. If you got a weak ass tv. You're not coming to my house. I'm not going to your house is what I'm saying.

[Steve Covino]

TCL's QD Mini LED makes every play pop. The brightness, the smooth motion. It feels like you're right on the field. And here's the kicker. TCL is the official TV partner of the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

Football has never looked better. Thank you. Tcl. The brightness, like you said, the experience. Right now, they're making it even sweeter. You could score up to 50% off select models. The perfect time to go snag a new tv. Football's here. You need to. I. I'm telling you, I'm a big advocate of multiple tv. So this is where this comes in handy.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, and by the way, if you are wondering why people don't want to come over your house, maybe you a tcl. Bigger screens, sharper details, smarter technology, all at a price that doesn't make your wallet flinch.

Hey, Fox Sports Radio Nation, thanks for getting through this day with us. Covino and Rich, live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Remember, if you miss any of today's show, search Covino and Rich. C O V I N O Covino and Rich, wherever you get your podcasts. And after the show, the best of goes up. And every Saturday, best of the week at 6am on the east. But follow rate and review, five stars because anything less is uncivilized. Covino and Rich. Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich, Dickie Davis.

[Rich Davis]

Now, what are we doing? That's. That's where we're going as far as fan behavior. We. We saw that woman in the J.J. watt jersey, dude, it's the bloody face.

[Steve Covino]

Like, I don't want to sound like a cornball, but if that was your kid or your sister, you know what I mean? Like, oh, my God, Bloody face. That's horrific, dude. It looked like she Was in a major ball because she was at a sporting event.

[Rich Davis]

Why? Because they disagreed on a third down player.

[Steve Covino]

They were wearing different jerseys. Lame. O guys throwing punches at women. Be better. So on a day where I think, and I think we all agree, regardless of political sides, we should all be better.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. The really terrible day.

[Steve Covino]

How are we better? Or how could we be better and improve our etiquette at a sporting event.

[Rich Davis]

We. We talked about Josh Allen telling fans, have a little faith. Don't leave so early. Matt LaFleur encouraging Packers fans, don't sell your tickets.

[Steve Covino]

I threw a. Watch your mouth. I threw a.

[Rich Davis]

Watch your mouth out posing fans. Hey, watch your mouth. Yeah, don't.

[Steve Covino]

There's kids around, man.

[Rich Davis]

Don't have too much of a potty mouth if there's kids next to you. I got one.

[Steve Covino]

You said you had the best one.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I think it is.

[Steve Covino]

Don't be trying to like downplay it now.

[Rich Davis]

It's the best. The best one. And it's. I can never understand negativity from your own fan base. If you have a player that's struggling, booing them does no good. Right now, for instance.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it's counterproductive.

[Rich Davis]

I'm a Mets fan.

[Steve Covino]

Struggling.

[Rich Davis]

The Mets are, you know, clinging on like by a string to.

[Steve Covino]

Wait, wait. You used to boo Conforto, though. Yeah. You call them confardo.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but I would never go. I would never go there and be like, boo. I would just, come on, let's go. Come on, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

Aren't there certain players on your own team, though, have punchable faces and you.

[Dan Beyer]

Just wish they were off the squad.

[Steve Covino]

Talking about Devin Williams. Because that's what I'm thinking about.

[Rich Davis]

Because, listen, of course there's times where I'm like, oh, I hate that guy, but I'm a boo. I'm not booing a guy on my team. Especially when you're in the middle of a. A wild card race, a pennant race, like Kavino. How counterproductive when the Mets start a homestand in a day or so. Well, you know, when they're fighting, when they're clinging onto a one or two game leader over the Giants. Would you think it's productive to boo?

[Steve Covino]

It's not. You're eliminating your actual home field advantage. If you're Nimmo, being at Citi Field should be a sense of comfort. If you're Anthony Volpe and you're horrible.

[Rich Davis]

Well, he's doing all right. See his girlfriend.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, well, yeah, he's doing okay there. I don't feel that Bad for him.

[Rich Davis]

But I heard people saying they felt bad for Volpe. I just saw a picture in the New York Post where it's like, Volpe with his model girlfriend at an event.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Yo, Smoking. So, yeah, I'm not feeling bad for him personally, but if you're booed everywhere else, you want to at least know that you're not going to get booed at home. So you're taking away that home field advantage. It's very counterproductive, I think. I don't think you need to cheer him on as he stinks it up. But booing them doesn't help.

[Rich Davis]

Don't boo your own team, Iowa. Sam, you said you had a doozy. If you wager on sports and you lose your bet and you're very mad about it, don't get on social media or find this person in real life and harass them because you didn't win your bet because they didn't perform a certain way. Those people are pathetic losers. Don't hate on Chris Paul because he didn't hit your assist total for the day on your prop bet.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, I think Sam's is better than yours.

[Rich Davis]

Don't. What? Get out of here.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Sam, that's a new agent you're.

[Rich Davis]

Going to harass SGA because he can hit the over 30.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. You're the biggest loser if you're taking your stupid gambling problems out on that.

[Rich Davis]

Guy, yelling at him, or yelling at Saquon Barkley because he stopped at the one yard line, he's at an autograph signing at the mall, and you decide to show up. Be like, I lost $1,000 because you didn't get two more yards during that game. And it's like, dude, sorry, that's gambling for you.

[Steve Covino]

I'm with you, man. That's pathetic. So how could we be better fans?

[Rich Davis]

You like that one better than mine?

[Steve Covino]

They're all. Actually, they're all really good. And I think we're sometimes guilty of some of those things. But it's a reminder that we could all be a little better as fans based on some of the stories that we've seen in the past few days.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, go to a game and, I don't know, act like an adult. Don't. Don't be punching strangers. So embarrassing.

[Steve Covino]

It is embarrassing. And when you see this woman bleeding all over the place, you're like, what? Like you said, rich, what is going on?

[Rich Davis]

And you know, I'm all for, like, good back and forth rivalry and yelling and cheering, but legitimately taunting someone and Getting in their face because they can't.

[Steve Covino]

Just give somebody a wedgie.

[Rich Davis]

A fan of another team, like, imagine a road. This is my worst case scenario because I've seen these people get their ass kicked and I get it. But it's like, no one should get their ass kicked. I've seen people go into an opposing stadium, Right? Let's say a Giants fan goes to Dodger Stadium. The Giants are winning. So he's just pointing around, taunting everyone. He's a lone wolf. Yeah, he's the Giant fan. He's taunting everyone. I've seen this at Citi Field. I'm like, yo, this Philly fans. What are they doing? They're going to get their ass kicked. They're taunting all these Mets fans. What are you doing? It's just asinine behavior.

[Dan Beyer]

Dan Beyer, There was a recent clip from a Michigan State football game. It may have been from this past weekend, but a kid stood up in the stands and had a Michigan shirt on and was taunting the Michigan State fans.

[Steve Covino]

I saw that.

[Dan Beyer]

And then two police officers came up and said, like, sit down. Like in. And then, you know, all the fans, like, yeah, how it was. But like, in a way, like, can the kid wear the shirt? Sure. Should he be taunting and trying to be that to other fans? Because that could cause other things. Yeah. Like, I actually kind of feel like security in a way. Like you could cheer for your team and obviously Michigan wasn't even playing in the game, but for them to like, step in. Danny, you saw the clip, too. Like, I, like, I was like, oh, I hate Michigan. So I'm probably biased, but I'm like, yeah, go. Good job.

[Rich Davis]

You know, it's interesting. Are you going undercover? Dan Beyer, did you see what your Seahawks are doing?

[Dan Beyer]

Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

This is done by other teams as.

[Rich Davis]

Well, but Seahawks are new for the Seahawks, correct me if I'm wrong, they're having law enforcement or security go undercover wearing jerseys of the opposing team to try to.

[Dan Beyer]

It's police officers.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, police officers. To try to suss out the, you know, the jerks in the crowd, essentially.

[Dan Beyer]

I saw that. And there would have to be a lot of cops because there were a lot of 49er fans getting under the Seahawks fan skin. Used to be a home field advantage. There were a lot of Niner fans there on Sunday for that game.

[Steve Covino]

So Fox Sports Radio Nation, we turn it over to you next 87799 on Fox. Are there other ways we could be better fans? Things that get under your skin when it comes to sports mistakes you have made and see other people making at the game or just when they come over. Yeah, you know, like not throwing in 20 bucks for a pay per view. What do you think this is? Yeah, what do you think it's Freebies. You think it's free, man?

[Rich Davis]

Cheapskate. All right. Hey, let's go to DB for an update. And speaking of my Niners, Dan Meyer. Is there an update? Brock? There is. There.

[Dan Beyer]

There is Kyle Shanahan using this term long shot.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, see, I didn't hear that. I was. I was listening to Fox Sports Radio earlier and I heard it wasn't a long shot. Kyle Shanahan has said it's a long shot. Oh, a long shot. Okay. A long shot.

[Steve Covino]

Okay.

[Rich Davis]

Sorry.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, dude, I needed that.

[Dan Beyer]

Thank you, Douglie. Taking it a different way.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you. Doug.

[Steve Covino]

Doug.

[Dan Beyer]

I was gonna say we all have had those, but I don't know if we have. I'm not sure if we have.

[Steve Covino]

Long shot, long shot. Shanahan feels like me and Purdy have the same issue.

[Dan Beyer]

Doug said something different earlier today. What's not a laughing matter for the 49ers is this could be a multi week injury. He's not gonna practice today. Mac Jones is going to get the first team reps and would be in line to start against the Saints in week two. Toe and left shoulder injury for Purdy, who again is a long shot to play after that win against the Seahawks.

[Steve Covino]

Long shot, right? Long shot.

[Dan Beyer]

Long shot.

[Steve Covino]

You know, funny clip, but that sucks for you, Rich. Sucks for the 49ers. Yeah, but it's early.

[Rich Davis]

It's early. The schedule's light and I think if you're going to talk about quality backups, I mean again, now I'm just being optimistic. But Kyle Shanahan and John lynch said they're very happy with what they've seen from Mac Jones as a backup. You gotta remember, remember the draft where Brock Purdy was taken as Mr. Irrelevant. Guess who was taken towards the beginning of the first round? A guy named Mac Jones.

[Dan Beyer]

So the other part about this is that funky schedule which is why they put George Kittle on injured reserve. Because in week five they've got that Thursday night game against the Rams. So it's be it would be tough for him to play weeks four and five on a short week. With Kittle not playing in week two, you might as well just put him on ir. Hasn't gone that far with Purdy as as of yet. But again week two is in question for the Niners signal caller Falcons Wide receiver Drake London is expected to play against the Vikings on Sunday night. His head coach, Raheem Morris says he expects the wide receiver to go despite being limited in practice today because of a shoulder injury. Free agent safety Jabril Pepper signing with the Steelers following a costly fumble in Week one. Jets are letting go of kick returner Xavier Gibson. Packers gave wide receiver Christian Watson a one year extension, so he's now under contract through 2026. Rangers beat the brewers today six to three. Texas sweeps that three game series. They're now just a game back of the Mariners for the final wild card in the American League. Both those teams keep on winning, as do the Red Sox. They're on a three game streak, but right now trailing the A's 43 in the 8th inning in Sacramento while the Twins and Angels are tied up at three apiece. And Rich, I know you've got your eye on the bay in San Francisco. Diamondbacks leading the Giants right now, five nothing in the seventh inning. Back to you guys.

[Steve Covino]

You know the secret to why the Red Sox are winning, right? That Aroldis Chapman finally figured out inside out.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that's. I've heard that.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I've heard that's pretty amazing.

[Rich Davis]

And Danny, I'm not only relying on the Arizona Diamondbacks to handle the Giants, but as a Mets fan clinging onto that third wild card. The Giants and Dodgers play seven times in the final 17 games.

[Dan Beyer]

Dodgers need five of those.

[Rich Davis]

Can you take five of them for me? Can you step it up? Dodgers, you want the two seed, right? You don't want to, you don't want to play in the wild card round. So win, win, win, Dodgers. All right, we got more Kavino and Rich next right here, Fox Sports Radio. I had this like overwhelming sensation that I had to call her right then and I just hit call, said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick. I'm the CEO of One Tribe foundation. And I just wanted to go on and let her know there's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling. And there is help out there.

[Rich Davis]

But right now we are live from the FOX Sports radio studio and it's time for our tyrack play of the day. There was a walk off in Toronto. Kimbrell's pitch hit on the ground, right side diving stomp walker. His throw to the blade is late. And the Blue Jays win it. Tyler Hyneman the Hero 43 in favor.

[Dan Beyer]

Of the Blue Jays who went into.

[Rich Davis]

The ninth down by a pair. They somehow some way come out with the win.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, good for Tyler Heiney, man.

[Rich Davis]

Well, the Yankees are now three games behind those Toronto Blue Jays. That was courtesy of the Blue Jays radio network.

[Steve Covino]

They had a walk off Whippy do.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Tire rack play of the day. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

[Steve Covino]

Tirerack.com a tire buying should be Clearly, I'm a Yankees fan. Steve Cavino, Rich Davis Mets fan. And I know you wanted to talk baseball real quick, but can I just say something too?

[Rich Davis]

Yep.

[Steve Covino]

As the Yankees get ready to take on the Tigers. Did you see that miserable loss they had yesterday?

[Rich Davis]

I was happy about it because every day the Yankees win. I owe you more money.

[Steve Covino]

I know, but I've never, I've been watching baseball for over 40 years. It's my favorite sport. I've never seen a major league team with this much potential play so poorly. It's like a little league team when they get frazzled and they crumble, you know, and like it just gets in their head. And all of a sudden the little league team loses. You're like, ah. Because they're little and they're frazzled and they can't deal with the pressure. It's like one thing happens with the Yankees and they fall apart like a bunch of little babies. I've never seen big leaguers play so bad, capable of so many mental errors. I've never seen it before.

[Dan Beyer]

Nine runs were scored before your two pitchers. Finally, dude, one of your two bullpen guys got an out. That hasn't happened since 2003.

[Steve Covino]

It's, it was, it's just stuff like that all the time. It's unbelievable. And your Mets are no better.

[Rich Davis]

I know, it's just, man. But let me Ask you this, though. I'm. Now I'm in total rationalization mode. I'm rationalizing with the best of them. Is there a part of you that feels like when your team is within a game or so or only up a game or so, that final two weeks of the baseball season, two and a half weeks, do you like to coast into the playoffs? Or is there something to be said about scoreboard watching for the last two and final weeks of the season? Like.

[Steve Covino]

Like, right now it makes you feel alive and excited.

[Rich Davis]

Like, right now I feel alive and excited watching. Watching the Giants.

[Steve Covino]

Like, I know what you mean. Like, anytime there's, like, miserable things going on, you feel alive, but that's not a good thing.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Like, I'm watching this Giants Diamondbacks game with vested interest because the Giants are two games behind the Mets. So that's.

[Steve Covino]

The Diamondbacks are helping me. It's a frantic. I like to relax.

[Rich Davis]

No, I like that franticness.

[Steve Covino]

Nah, it's frantic. Like Metallica frantic.

[Rich Davis]

Isn't there sort of fun, like Dan Buyer going into the final. Going into the final week or so, the NFL season, where you're like, my team could make a wild card if I win, but the van of the packers lose. Like, I like that.

[Dan Beyer]

I was just gonna compare it to fantasy football. Like, when you win by 50 points. Okay, it's fun. But it's real fun when you're down 8 on Monday night and your guy catches a touchdown pass and you end up winning. Yes. Like, that's the reason that why you play. So to me, the drama a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

Kavino and I argue all the time, like, he'll watch a Yankees game if it's 9:1. And I'm like, nah, that's the day I check out. I go read my kids a book or something.

[Dan Beyer]

I like that.

[Rich Davis]

I want it to be two. Two, bottom of the eighth. Like, come on, let's go put something together. I like the drama. You like the ease. So to me, like, my Met Fan.

[Steve Covino]

Friends drama show, leave that for Triple.

[Rich Davis]

G, they're having heart attacks. And I'm like, guys, we're up two games with 17 games to go. I'm not quite sure it gets more exciting. So I. I speak on behalf of the. You know, you might say the crazy fan who says, you're trying to find.

[Steve Covino]

The silver lining of your team stink.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, yeah, I guess you're probably right there, but there is a part of me that is sort of exciting to wake up every day and not just my game. Like, I'm watching the Diamondbacks versus the Giants. I'm watching the Reds Padres. Like all these games mean so much now. Just makes it great for baseball. And hey, like I said, less than 20 games. Let's go Mets. More. Next.
