Especially us, Covino and Rich. Let's be rocking out into the weekend. It's been a tough week, a heavy week, which is why we're extra excited for foosball, the greatest entertainment and of course, the big fight this weekend. Canelo Crawford team. Canelo here. Viva Mexico, Cabrones.
Rich
How could you not be excited about this weekend? You got NFL Week 2, so you get a second look at all of our teams. Yeah, you got some college football and.
Covino
You got this dude playing the tuba for LSU tomorrow.
Rich
Tuba time.
Covino
And Rich Davis, as a former third trombone in his high school band, you played that rusty one, right? You have to be excited about it.
Rich
How dare you. I played the saxophone.
Covino
I thought you played the yaz flute.
Rich
I was inspired by Bill Clinton on Arsenio.
Covino
Oh, nice.
Rich
I did play the saxophone. I find it fascinating when people didn't play an instrument.
Covino
I played that song I'm too saxy.
Rich
I want your sacks. So again, tuba time. College football. NFL football. The Canelo fight.
Covino
Oh, I can't wait for that. In fact, we really dove into Canelo Crawford on Over promised, which is available now, but catch it after our show on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Our new YouTube page.
Rich
You and Danny Grottio, Danny G Radio, were arguing about the punch packed by Terence Bud Crawford. Danny, you think he could catch Canelo? Camino thinks he's not strong enough. You've seen him up close.
Danny G
I mean, like, this is going to be a close fight.
Covino
Oh, I'm not denying it's going to be a close fight, but here's what I know. I know that Canelo could hurt Crawford.
Rich
Yeah. You don't think Crawford could hurt Canelo.
Covino
That's what's in question. He's never fought. He's skipping two weight classes. Dude, we've seen Canelo bite off more than 2.
Rich
Tension.
Covino
No, but when Canelo went up to 175 and he lost a Bibble, it's like, all right, his punches didn't have the same impact. He lost that fight. I feel like Crawford is doing something that he's never done before, and he's going to see whether or not he could withstand Canelo's power. And will his power have any effect? We don't know. I don't. I don't know that to be true. I don't think it will because Canelo's been hit by bigger dudes his whole career.
Danny G
So do you guys know how Vegas has this right now?
Covino
Yeah, the favorite.
Rich
Vegas has Canelo, a slight favorite, not big Danny G. Like, I think It's. It's about plus 150 for your dude, Terence Bud Crawford. So, you know, bet 100, win 150. But it just shows you that weight class difference that Covino speaks about. For the boxing casual. That's why when people talk about Jake Paul against Tank Davis, it just sounds ridiculous because you would say Tank Davis, one of the pound for pound best, but he's so small compared to.
Covino
But there's also a skill differential that could balance it out. That's why it's interesting. But there's an actual legitimate fight this weekend. And I'll remind you again when we get into weekend hobnobbing later, what you need to watch in sports and entertainment. We do it every.
Rich
So we also just emphasize how while we're going to talk about NFL, for a lot of the show coming up, baseball this weekend we got less than 20 games, and right now, Seattle and Houston are tied for first place. The Texas Rangers only two games behind them. The Yankees on the tail of Toronto, and they play Boston three games and Boston's a half a game behind them. And then out West, Danny G. Ooh.
Danny G
Big series in San Francisco.
Rich
Danny, please. I I ask you put a little extra Dodgers voodoo out there to curse the Giants, because the Mets need the Giants to lose and I need the Dodgers to sweep them. So can you. Can you call Mookie? Can you call Freddie?
Danny G
And what are the Giants? A game and a half out of that last wild card game, and a.
Rich
Half behind the Mets and the Padres, only two behind you. So the reality is you need to win as well. So go Dodgers. Let's go Mets.
Covino
So seriously, after a really miserable week, right? You got a great fight on Saturday. You got that Charlie Sheen documentary winning. You got great NFL. And baseball couldn't be closer and more exciting right now. Something at least distract you. You're going to come to my house.
Rich
You're going to come to my house Monday morning to do our podcast.
Covino
Yeah.
Rich
And you're going to see my house decorated for Halloween because do you know how much pacing and distraction I'm going to need during these mets games? This 49ers game without Brock Purdy, college football, the Canelo fight. I'm going to be pacing like a maniac.
Covino
Nice. Can't wait.
Rich
All right, well, let's do this. It's back to football season and we decide what game gets the big tv.
Covino
You should see my set up. I got an extra tv.
Rich
The game that I will have.
Covino
We should call it Rich's Big TV Game of the Week. It's Rich's big TV Game of the Week.
Rich
It is my big TV game of the week. And that TV being my new tcl.
Covino
Right?
Rich
Thank you, tcl.
Covino
Why don't you brag about it? So Rich has really nice big TCL tv, right? That's his main tv. And then he wheels in this weak ass TV like he's the AV guy.
Danny G
In high school in a red Radio Flyer wagon.
Rich
None of my TVs are weak ass TVs. They're just not perhaps the quality of a TCL, which is, well, it's like.
Covino
The little TV for his other games, but one of them is always the big TV game of the week. It's the main game.
Rich
You ask how hot this segment is that TCL said, hey, we need to get involved and it needs to be Rich's tcl. Big game of the week. That's how important the segment is. We need to know what to put on the four screen and what to what gets its own tv.
Covino
Let's do it.
Rich
All right, now, early games. Early like Mr. Burley, we're gonna go back to the early games because we got. I want to start with the late games. Only because I feel like it's so much more obvious. Broncos, Colts. Yeah, we're gonna see if Daniel Jones got the goodies versus, you know, Bo Nicks, two teams that. That doesn't get big. That gets eyes, but it doesn't get big tv.
Covino
Well, he had the goodies last week, Panthers and Cardinals.
Rich
That certainly does not get the TCL big TV game. You know it does. Super bowl rematch. Man, who's not excited? The Fox game of the week. Eagles, Chiefs Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt on the call. 125 Pacific Time. The late game on the east coast.
Covino
Do you think potty mouth Brady is going to drop any SNF bombs like he was dropping on Cowherd show? Perhaps.
Rich
I mean, you're talking about Philly one and a half point favorites and I was talking to Bo, one of the great editors here. He's a. He has a. He has a few teams he roots for. He's like five teams. Maybe he's always in a good mood. If one of your five teams wins, if the Eagles win this game, you could argue that it's so early, but Kansas City will have a hard time winning their division if the Chargers, Broncos and Raiders have all improved because every great dynasty starts to get other teams catch up. So I think this is a must. I know it sounds so ridiculous to say because it's week two, but I don't think Kansas City could afford to really want to start Owen 2. They have a tough schedule. So that's your big game of the week. That's your big TV game of the week.
Covino
I mean, that's kind of an obvious. Because it's the super bowl rematch and could the Chiefs start? Oh, and two, they have to win this game. So how could this not be the big TV game of the week?
Rich
But let me give you the early games because there's so many more that you can have a lot of split action going on. Rams, Titans, not really. Jags at Bengals. We'll have that on one of the little screens. Watching Joe Burrow go off. I think he's going to explode. Numbers off the charts this week. Browns are gonna get stomped by the Ravens, Patriots and Dolphins. Man, you'll watch my Niners don't even get the big screen. They're playing the Saints with Mac Jones. You'll watch Giants, Cowboys, Bears, Lions. No, you're Seahawks and Steelers had a shot because I still like that you said Lions.
Danny G
You were hyped on the Lions.
Rich
I think they're gonna. No, they're Gonna whoop some ass.
Danny G
Okay, so you think they're gonna bounce back in a major way?
Covino
Yeah, a team. I think that has to. Yeah, I think they have to bounce back this week.
Rich
I think that the game I really do want to watch on the big screen. Can the jets compete with the Buffalo Bills? The Bills are playing in the Meadowlands.
Covino
MetLife at any chance. However, I think the jets are more explosive than we thought based on week one. I mean, he scored a lot of points.
Rich
Could this be a shootout? Could this be, you know, lots of points? Could this be because the jets and Bills both put up points and.
Covino
Are the Bills. What's an expression I could use on Fox Sports Radio? Did they blow their. Are they a little tired from last week's excitement? Right. And Dan Beyer was such a nail biter and there was so much excitement behind that one. Maybe their foot's not as hard on the pedal this week for the Jets. And you know what?
Rich
I don't know if it's Dan Beyer that said this or not. I just. Every great statement I think comes from Dan Byer. Dan, did you say also the Bills, Week three, they have a short week, so they might be looking ahead to the Dolphins. I feel like someone might have said.
Dan Byer
That injury wise with Ed Oliver. He could miss two games because of the short week.
Rich
So I feel like, you know, they're. They're going to have a short week because then they have to go to play Miami.
Covino
Playing down to the competition and the jets so badly want to win this one.
Rich
I think after seeing the jets and the Steelers play last week and it was real fun game. I think the big TCL game of the week has to be jets hosting the Bills.
Covino
So again, you're keeping score at home. I'm going to have to ask you why. But it's Bills, Jets.
Rich
Yeah, buddy.
Covino
And it's the super bowl rematch of the Eagles at the Chiefs at home. Those are your two big TV games of the week.
Rich
Let me.
Covino
Let me enjoy them.
Rich
Can I flip it on you?
Covino
Sure.
Rich
Of the games. I know you got them in front of you. What game this week? I'm gonna play the old reversal.
Covino
What? You know, I actually agree with you.
Rich
What gets your phone.
Jonas Knox
That.
Rich
That's the opposite. That's like. It doesn't even get the Sunday ticket split.
Covino
You trying to cash in on a new phone, too, or trying to get.
Rich
Sponsor here brought to you by? No. Is there a game where you're like, oh, God, like Rams, Titans, Maybe the.
Covino
Most doo doo game of the week.
Rich
Is that the doo doo game? Rams, Titans.
Covino
You still want to keep your eye on it? I think the Browns, Ravens, like, well, no, because, I mean, there's still like the star power.
Rich
Still the excitement of watching star power involved.
Covino
Like the most boring game. Let me see.
Rich
Rams, Titans, Dan Byer.
Dan Byer
Just gonna say, with your TV picks, CBS's top crew, Nance and Romo will be Bill's Jets. The Chiefs, Eagles, rematch on Fox is gonna be pretty much seen everywhere. So that's Burkhart and Brady.
Rich
They follow my lead.
Dan Byer
Yes, yes, they do.
Covino
I would say your tiny phone game of the week is either Rams, Titans, like you said, or Pat's Dolphins.
Rich
Remember, I was like. I was like, hello, friend. Oh, hey, Jim. Nance, I'm gonna send you to the Meadowlands. All right, cool. Yeah, so I think, I think Rams, Titans. Anyway, thank you, guys. We'll go over some picks later. Plus we'll do some weekend hobnobbin, but something I wanted to get into now, if it's cool with you.
Covino
Sure.
Rich
I want to know if you believe in. When people talk about poking the bear. When people talk about bulletin board material, is that just all BS in your mind, or do you believe, or do you believe there's extra motivation? Because extra motivation doesn't mean you're going to be better. Like, someone could be like, oh, Cavino, please, no competition.
Covino
It's not always that. It's. It's about taking you out of your game plan. And I'm going to have to say yes. I think it all comes back to the most natural, raw and primitive sports, which is fighting, always comes back to fighting because it's a battle. And in sports, you're just competing. And that's what you do in fighting.
Rich
When you, when people say bulletin board material, know what I think about?
Covino
Like, you're trying to get in the head of your opponent. And in smack talking always works. If you can get in their head and actually take them out of their game plan and out of their fight, that's when you win. So poking the bear is a part of the game. And I think no matter what sport it is, if you're able to get in their head, you know, it's the old saying, he can. He who angers you, angers you, controls you. If you could anger them and tap into their emotions, then you're already one step ahead. You have an advantage automatically in that game. So I do believe in poking the bear, actually.
Rich
Like, you know, when Apollo got killed by Drago and Rocky has Drago's picture Taped to his mirror. Like, does that give you extra motivation? Like when. Whenever you know, when someone on an opposing team is like, oh, we're excited to play these guys in the playoffs, easy first round. Like, does that make the team get more fired up or is like, you can only get as fired up as you could be.
Covino
I don't believe in that.
Rich
I will then let me give you these personal.
Covino
It's always going to be a little more. But that could be good or bad because it could take you out of your game plan. But there's almost more passion and heart on the line.
Rich
Let me give you the example for this week.
Covino
It's not just a game at that point.
Rich
A game that you possibly said was one of the least interesting games because it could be lopsided. The Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Browns defender Grant Delpit, All American, lsu, highly touted defender. When asked, is it hard to take down Derek Henry? He's like, nah, not at all. He said, no, not hard. And then Derek Henry obviously gets word of this and he's like, yeah, we'll see on Sunday.
Covino
I love that.
Rich
I love the trip.
Covino
Bringing more of a personal angle into it. More reason to watch. And speaking of, this all ties into a lot of the other stuff we didn't get to, but, like, there's a lot of revenge games this week.
Rich
Yeah, let's. Let's go over that, because how hard is Derek Henry to bring down When Brown safety Grant Delpit says, not hard, and then Derek Henry responds with, well, we'll see on Sunday. Yeah, of course it'll be fun to watch because I'm sure mid game and after the game they'll have a stat like, you know, Derek Henry ran past him for, you know, we got through the secondary three times or something. I just wonder, do those things really matter? Is it just good fodder for us?
Covino
No, they absolutely, like I said, take it to the most primitive of sports, fighting. You get in your opponent's head, you're. You're what? Doesn't mean you're winning, but winning. But it means you have that advantage on them.
Rich
Do you think at any point because of that statement, Derek Henry's in the backfield lining up and he's like, all right, let me find this fool. You think at any point he it like, yeah, 1000%. I guess it's human nature, Danny.
Covino
If someone, if you were any athlete.
Danny G
Who says no, it's just another game. I don't care what anyone says. And we, you know, we're going to talk about some of the revenge narratives coming up. Yeah, we hear the same thing because it's kind of like, politically correct, or you don't want to, you know, you don't want to shake the branches too much. So what do you normally hear, Rich, From a coach or a player?
Rich
Just another game. Yeah.
Danny G
Nothing extra. Nothing to see here. But. But inside and down deep, you know that that's not true.
Rich
That's. It's. It's. You're. We're all just human. Right. These guys are no different than us. They just play sports better. So if someone were to doubt your skills, I guarantee you're right there. As much as you want to be like, nah, Derek Henry don't give a crap. Derek Henry will definitely. At one point, when he's behind the line of scrimmage lining up with Lamar, he'll be like, all right, where's this clown that says, I'm not hard? Oh, there he is.
Covino
I also think that's great for the game, great for the viewer. It gives you more reason to watch, more investment in what's going on, and it's selling the game some more. That gives you reason to care.
Rich
And that Jalen Ramsey made a whole early part of his career by being such a great trash talk. Remember, like every NFL quarterback, he put on blast when he was a youngster. And we all remember that.
Covino
Our job is to also hype up some of these games to get you excited about them. So based on what you're saying, Rich, and poking the bear and. And having your actual emotions involved.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
Sunday. They're calling Sunday this Sunday National Revenge Narrative Day. Oh, because there's so many, like, personal revenge games and more reason to watch. For example, we already talked about your big TV game of the week. Chiefs, Eagles. That's a Super bowl rematch. That's a revenge game. That's a bit. That's the game of the week. Everybody's tuning into that. You have to care about that. You got Joe Flacco back in Baltimore this weekend. Ben Johnson versus The Lions.
Rich
That cr.
Covino
Now.
Rich
Now you're talking. There's no revenge there. But I think the Ben Johnson.
Covino
These are personal storylines that. That pull you in, that make it more of an experience, that get your emotions involved. McCarthy, Penix national title rematch. And you got DK Metcalf versus the Seahawks. So there's a lot of, like, you know, that's kind of cool. Like, the games are great already, but when you tie these things into it and make it personal, when it becomes personal, you care more, and that's why it ties back to your original question. The bear does matter because you as a fan are now more invested.
Rich
Those are some. Some real fun angles. And listen, NFL doesn't need help for people to watch, but when you add these little layers, it makes it even more interesting.
Covino
Exactly.
Rich
I love. You know, I don't know. How do you. How did it not have been dawn on me that of course Ben Johnson's first game against the Lions would be, you know, the team that he helped build, that great offense that everyone touted. Now all of a sudden, you know, could he take Caleb Williams and company and be like, all right, now I'm building this over here. That's a good one.
Covino
You don't think there's a part of Flacco, even though you said the Browns.
Rich
Are going to get on, like, but.
Covino
Still, that's kind of fun.
Rich
But it's different people.
Covino
McCarthy Penix, national title rematch. That's sort of very much like Rogers last week wanting to take an ice cube and show, you know, what I'm talking about with the Jets.
Rich
McCarthy Penix is a great one because, Danny, we remember that because it was not long ago, it was two years ago, we were doing our show and we remember seeing those two cats. And I remember at the time, you, as a Raiders fan, like, I really want Penix.
Danny G
Oh, I was watching him that entire season, just like licking my chops, hoping that.
Rich
So McCarthy Penix is sort of a fun because you don't forget who you played against in the national game two years ago. That's. I'm sure there's some. Some feelings there.
Jonas Knox
Right?
Danny G
Screw you, Falcons. Remember, they surprised us all by drafting Pennix Jr. Yeah.
Rich
So that's. That's going to be interesting.
Danny G
Really quick, Rich, back to the lines. This is a crazy stat. Jared Goff has had five different play callers in his career under the three not named Sean McVeigh and Ben Johnson. He's O19 and one.
Jonas Knox
Wow.
Covino
I think when you have these personal elements involved in anything, you're always going to get a different outcome. There's a reason why Covino and Rich, in my opinion, stand out. We're hungrier than most. We were let go at ESPN because of COVID We were at espn. You don't think there's a part of me, deep down, it's not like on my conscious radar every day, like, I'm going to show espn, but I want to beat them bad, especially in radio. Who's on right now don't care.
Rich
We need the butt.
Covino
Yeah. So, you know, we Take this very serious. We're like, yo, we're going to bring it every day. We're here for two hours. Let's bring it. Let's bring our best. So when you bring those personal elements into the game, it's better for the viewer, it's better for the experience, and that's what makes this national revenge day on Sunday so exciting. And you're seeing some personal attacks and poking the bear, and I think all that just adds to the excitement and the fun. And the reality is not just showmanship, but now that we know it as fans and viewers, we're more invested.
Rich
Interestingly enough, of course, I'll tie the Mets into it. If you're going to talk about these reveals, you don't have to. These revenge and reunion games, how do you feel about this one? Because it's. It's usually like, the guy that got let go or the guy that got traded, or it's like, like you said, some of these are. Are guys that got sort of like, dissed, right?
Covino
Mm.
Rich
Jacob Degrom left the Mets and they wanted him. Remember, he was like, I'm leaving for Texas. And it was like, oh, you're our guy.
Covino
Said he believed in their winning ways.
Rich
Yeah, so. But. So I'm saying, like, the. The. No one's. No one's looking at the grom as, like, the happy story tonight. Like, if anything, you're like, he left the Mets. So is your narrative like, yeah, I hope the Mets crush him.
Covino
Hell, yeah.
Rich
If it wasn't for our bet.
Covino
Dude, this is like, the most obvious thing ever, though. Like, all right, when you're dissed by your wife or girlfriend, there's not a secret part of you that wants to show them that you're still successful because that's the best revenge. Like, I don't need you. Look how great I am now. You know, anytime it's personal like that, you're always gonna get a cooler result. Always. And that applies to everything. Anytime there's something personal involved, I agree with you 100%. So, again, we get that personal angle, poking the bear that Rich just talked about and all these other revenge games this weekend. What are your thoughts on that? 87799 on Fox to me, just makes it more interesting.
Rich
All right, well, hey, we're going to go over weekend Hobnob, and we're going to go over a couple picks. What, what, what to wager on. If you're down with that, we'll do that all coming up right here. Your buds, Kavino and Rich, on Fox Sports Radio. Now we talked about their sweet TVs during our big TV game of the week. TCL Football's back and you know where to find us on Sundays.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now. I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited.
Covino
Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.
Rich
So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.
Covino

Covino
Twisted Sister, one of my childhood favorites, announced that they're going back on tour, celebrating 50 years.
Rich
What?
Covino
And they're from your neck of the woods, Long Island Rich and as an east coast kid, I always wanted to see them. My parents never took me, so maybe now I could do that. Make my childhood dreams come true. Like Kent Broussard of LSU, the tuba guy who's 66, the oldest freshman out there.

And for over 40 years, Tirek's 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 tirerack.com the way tire buying should be.
Covino
Now we're going to take your phone calls. Hang tight. We're going to get into weekend hobnobbing. What you need to watch this weekend. But DB's got an update so let's turn it over to the great Dan.
Rich
By Hey Dan, when you're watching the.
Dan Byer
49Ers and Saints, you won't see Brock Purdy and you won't see Chase Young, the 49ers quarterback ruled out because of his toe and shoulder injuries. Young also ruled out for the Saints. Mac Jones going to get the start for San Francisco in that contest again. Purdy's injury reports this week says it's likely a multi game injury. Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas listed as doubtful to face the Cowboys because of his foot injury. The good news for the Giants is wide receiver Malik Neighbors is off the injury report. He'll play on Sunday. Bill's defensive tackle Ed Oliver could miss multiple games according to the NFL Network because of a foot injury that will force him to miss their Week 2 matchup against the Jets. Quinshawn Judkins could make his season debut Sunday against Baltimore, but the Browns running back is listed as questionable. The Bears signed former 49ers kicker Jake Moody to their practice squad while in baseball, Cubs topped the race 64 moved within five games. A first place Milwaukee in the NL Central. The Knicks on veteran guard Malcolm Brogdon to a one year deal and for the first time ever, WrestleMania will be held overseas. It's going to happen in 2027, but WrestleMania 43 will be taking place in Saudi Arabia. Guys, back to you.
Covino
Thank you Dan Byer. Have a great weekend buddy and enjoy End Zone Radio.
Dan Byer
Thank you. I'm sure you'll be tuning in 5 Eastern, 2 Pacific. Me and Carrie Rhodes.
Covino
Look at this. There you go.
Rich
Dan Byer getting it done. Dan's here every day.
Dan Byer
Dan tomorrow morning anchoring from 2. Yeah during up on game so you'll.
Rich
Hear me as well. Thank you Dan Byer.
Covino
Thank you buddy. And to wrap up our previous conversation, Rich and we'll still take phone calls 87799 on Fox. Let me put a little bow on this. Rich's question was do you believe in poking the bear? And I said yeah man. Trash talking all the time makes it more personal. You're going to get a different result. Getting your opponent's head is what it's all about because Grant Delpit said that it's easy to take down Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry's like, oh, yeah, we'll see about that. So now there's more interest and more reason to watch. And there's a personal angle there.
Rich
I love when wide receivers and, you know, defensive players, like, go at it like, oh, yeah, to me, that's, that's great fodder.
Covino
Great ties into what they're calling national revenge narrative day. Because Sunday is Chiefs, Eagle, super bowl rematch, Ben Johnson versus the Lions, Flaco back at Baltimore, McCarthy Penix national title rematch, DK Metcalf versus Seahawks. And that continues into Monday because you have that longtime rivalry of the Chargers, Raiders, Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh. So any personal rivalry always makes it better.
Rich
Gives a little more juice.
Covino
A little more juice, A little more juice.
Rich
All right, let's go to your phone calls. We'll talk some NFL, whatever you guys want to talk about. Most Interactive show at 877-99-ON FOX. And before we get to weekend hobnobbing, I saw your uncle and I know you were going to bring this up. Your uncle needs to be called that.
Covino
Well, this is the question. My uncle Bill, who listens all the time, so does my brother in law Dan. Shout out to Dan and Uncle Bill. My uncle Bill through marriage, great guy, nicest guy, big sports fan. He's also a big Yankees guy. All right, so he's New York football, Giants all the way and New York Yankees guy because he's an east coast guy. Uncle Bill. Yeah, right. And made me like Bill even more automatically when he was introduced to the family. Like, oh, he's a Yankees guy. Come here. Bring it in. I love you, Uncle Bill. Well, I gotta call him out at least here on the show and I'll explain why.
Rich
But your quick phone call, Say hi to Super Rasi Day.
Covino
Hey, what's up, buddy in Detroit?
Rich
What's up, man?
Caller
What's up, Kavino? Rich and Danny G. I got a question and a comment. First. I want to say, hey, I'm fresh off of promoting my movie. I think you guys may have seen it, the Superman movie. That was me. And they dressed me up as a white man. And yeah, Superman, Russia.
Rich
I knew it was you.
Covino
What's up, man?
Caller
Yeah, they put me in the whole white man costume. I said, okay, just for the movie, I'll do it. Okay, now this question and comment is for you, Covino. Actually, the question is for you, Covino, but the comment is for African American GMs. I want to say every African American GM right here, right now. The GMs out there need to give Colin Kaepernick a tryout.
Covino
Now, you've said this every year.
Rich
Super recede. All right, Kavino, go on. He wants to talk to you.
Caller
Now the question is to you, Covino. If there was a Mexican guy. Are you there?
Rich
Yeah.
Caller
Can you be quiet for a second? If there was a Mexican guy, if a Mexican guy got blackballed the way that Kaepernick got blackballed and you were a gm, would you be a real man, step up and give that man a tryout? What would you do to be enough.
Covino
Is he. Is he still qualified as one of the best out there? I mean, that's part of it. No, I mean, this is a story.
Rich
Super receded.
Covino
There are so many story came and went.
Rich
There are so many athletes in all sports that teams want to win. If Colin Kaepernick at this stage was. Was going to help someone win, I promise you.
Covino
Yeah, that's on a roster. And he asked me, Rich, and I was getting there. Seriously, in a game of winning. And that's what sports is all about. Competition and winning. Winning. That's what life's about. We're trying to win. I'm not caring about their color of their skin. It's like what Jimmy Johnson said on America's Team. I don't care what we're paying this guy, I'm going with the hot hand. I don't care who you think should start. I'm here to win. If I'm the GM of a team, I don't care if he's Mexican. I want the best guy out there that's going to make me look good and put the best winning product on the field, period. Especially in sports. Dude, I don't care if he's Mexican or I don't care what he is.
Rich
Teams will sometimes send a pretty decent player down to the minors to work things out, because it's not working. Teams will start a guy that's making peanuts and have a, you know, a guy with a big contract on the bench. I just listen.
Covino
I think now if he was half Mexican and half Italian like me. Oh, yeah, yeah. Of course now I'd hook him up.
Rich
But I just think. I'm not saying it's a tired narrative. I just think that it is because.
Covino
Kaepernick's not even in the conversation.
Rich
People care too much about winning. And there's so many great African American quarterbacks. So to insinuate like that's not where people are going, like there's so many great black quarterbacks now, that's silly to even have this Conversation.
Covino
Yo, Ryan, there's such. There's such a thing called as ring rust. Do you think this guy's going to go out there and light it up in the NFL after all this, all these years?
Rich
I saw you. I saw you and Danny G put your hands on your head like, geez, dude, if he could play, he'd be in the league. It's been way too long.
Covino
Way too.
Rich
Five years ago, I'd be like, yeah, give him a chance. But now it's been too long. And yes, I'm a black man saying it. Well, that's why I went to you.
Commercial Announcer
Just.
Rich
No, no. Isn't it eight, 26 years.
Covino
Eight years. I mean, Rich had his whole hairline eight years ago anyway.
Rich
The best hairline at Fox Sports.
Covino
But I do appreciate you super easy today, but my answer is no. I don't agree with you, Ryan.
Rich
Thank you, Danny. All right, let's say hi to Vegas and Tripp. Hi, Trip.
Covino
What up, Trip?
Caller
Hey, guys. Have a great weekend. Always good to hear. I got a question. When they talk about payback, if you beat me in the super bowl, then I beat you in the regular season, is that really payback?
Rich
I always think that. Right? Because it's like, no, it means nothing. Like, I get it. You're right. It's like payback in week two. So if the Chiefs win. Whooping it, dude.
Covino
But, I mean, but it's still. But it's still a Super bowl rematch. I mean, I agree, though. The stakes aren't as high.
Danny G
Yeah. And Rich, we just saw the Chargers beat the Chiefs. And what are the announcers keep saying? A statement game. Is it really in week one or do you need to make it to the playoffs and win your division to make a statement?
Rich
Agreed. If it's only revenge, if the stakes are high. Like when. When you said that Jalen hurts last year. Cavino is like, yo, he's. He's got a. It's his chance at revenge because his. The Chiefs beat him two years before that. That matters. A week to regular season, 425pm Eastern game better than losing, but I don't know. All right, now, let's. Let's. Let's talk about your uncle for a second. Then we'll get to some weekend hobnobbing. Question is, what is the foul here?
Covino
Is this a forgivable offense or do I need to call him out personally? You know, I'm talking about it here on the radio, so I'm calling him out nationwide.
Rich
But you're asking. You're asking. Is this worthy of you calling him and making fun of him?
Covino
Yes. Like, do I get my other relatives involved here, or is this a forgivable offense? Uncle Bill is a Yankees guy. Yeah. He talks about the Yankees all the time. He loves the Yankees, just like me. He came to San Diego to party with his old pal Pat. Right? Patrick. And hi, I'm Pat. He posted a picture on Facebook, and it's a picture of him and Pat, and they're both rocking San Diego Padres gear at a Padres game. I'm like, hold on.
Danny G
Oh, come on now.
Covino
Yeah, there he is. And look at Pat looking like Steve from Blue's Clues. That's not Steve from Blue's Clues. That's Patrick. And that's Uncle Bill on the right. If you're watching the video. And look at. Look at. Look at Uncle Bill acting like he's Fernando Tatis with his Padres gear on. I'm like, that is like, such a. Such a weird look to me. It's like when you see Emmett Smith rocking his Cardinals jersey, it's like he's not a Padres fan. Since when?
Rich
You know, I said to you off the air, and I'll wrap it up with this. The only time I would wear gear other than my team. And we are in such a unique situation, so I think we are the lone exception, as you know. You've heard me talk endlessly about my love for the Mets, right? If, let's say, another random MLB team, let's say the Padres or the Giants or the Cardinals or someone's like, hey, Kavino and Rich, we love you on the affiliate in our city.
Covino
The Cardinals welcome Cavino and Rich to throw the first pitch.
Rich
If the St. Louis Cardinals said, hey, Kavino and Rich, come throw the first pitch. Of course, out of respect. Respect. I'd put on the Cardinals jersey, give a little wave to the crowd.
Covino
Can I still wear my Yankee hat, though?
Rich
No, that's. It's rude.
Covino
Why? I feel like that's a good compromise. Didn't Obama do that?
Danny G
Yeah. I would still wear my team's hat.
Covino
Yeah, the president did that.
Rich
He did not.
Covino
Obama did that with the Cubs. Yes, he did.
Rich
I don't believe that.
Covino
Did he not? Or am I making this up?
Rich
I think you're making it up.
Covino
I feel like he wore his hat. I could be making that up, but I feel like that's a decent compromise. So when you know a family member that you bond with over is a fan of a particular team and then he's wearing a completely different jersey because he's with his buddy. Isn't that like a weird like you got to call him out sort of a fan?
Rich
I think you do, because I'm sticking by it. The first pitch exception. Which not many people or if for.
Covino
That team or something.
Rich
Right.
Covino
That's always the exception.
Rich
Two exceptions. If a family member makes it to the pros, then all rules are broken.
Covino
Or if you what if it was like Free Jersey Day just happened to be there?
Rich
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, we got more Covino Richard. We'll go for some weekend hobnobbing next.
Covino
I was right. There's Obama with a Nationals jersey wearing his Chicago White Sox hat.
Rich
Exception.
Covino
I thought it was a Cubs game.
Rich
He's the president and he's in D.C. as the president and we all know he's a White Sox guy.
Covino
I thought based on that I could still wear my but you're on the.
Danny G
Radio and everybody knows who you rep. Same thing.
Rich
All win more. Convene on Rich next.

Covino
And and I know you're probably thinking the bills and Josh Allen, but no Aaron Judge. Three bombs this week. Two yesterday. And he's really turning it around after coming off the IL when it matters. So props to him. Plus he had a very viral moment with Donald Trump yesterday. He's like can he get Any bigger. What did he say?
Jonas Knox
Yeah, something like that.
Covino
Something about like.
Rich
Yeah, big enough.
Covino
I don't know.

Rich
Stature, 5, 250.

Covino
You're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing.
Rich
You ever done anything dangerous? You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Covino
That is dangerous. Friday brings us weekend Hob Nobby. Well, number one on the list has to be Canelo Crawford this weekend. I can't wait. Gotta be tuning in. One of the fights of our lifetime. That's how it is. Look, we don't know how it's going to turn out, but based on their pedigree and their resume and who they are at this point in their career, this is one of the biggest fights we've ever seen.
Rich
I need you as the boxing expert of FOX Sports Radio because the reality is you do know more boxing than anyone else on this network.
Covino
Yeah.
Rich
Is this a fight where we're going to see a lot of flurries or is this a lot of feeling each other out for far too long? Are these guys that go out because I've seen them both, but together. Do you think they're going to go at it or is this a. I think we're going to. I don't know.
Covino
I've never seen Canelo not move forward and go at it. I've seen people run away from him. His last fight. Guy was dancing around the whole time. Skull. And Crawford's not that dance around, run around kind of guy. So that's what we're hoping for. But again, Crawford's going up to weight classes. Decision to Canelo, the twisted tale of Amanda Knox on Hulu. Not the documentary, the show. I want to wrap that up this weekend.
Rich
You've recommended it. It's on my list.
Covino
It's pretty cool. It's a Hulu show. Worth the watch. Spinal Tap if you're a fan of the 1984 cult classic with Michael McKeon and Chris Guest sequel comes out this weekend. 41 years later. Spinal Tap. It's called the end Continuum continues. Spinal Tap in theaters and finally over promised. Our bonus podcast, episode 108 dropped yesterday. It's on our YouTube page. Covino Enrich FSR not enough people are watching it. I believe in our show over promised just as much as I believe in anything. And we talk about the top gingers in sports because I feel if Canelo wins, I think the great hambino's off the Mount Rushmore. If Canelo wins this weekend, it's a legacy fight. We talk about the top gingers in sports, we go over the tail of the tape of the fight and we talk about Rich's picks.
Rich
I got some good ones this week. I have a teaser and a parlay that you could watch on over promised.
Covino
Really good over promise.
Rich
Honestly, the only thing I really want to recommend to people other than a weekend full of sports, the Charlie Sheen documentary. I watched it last night. I was shocked. My dad's like, what shocked you?
Covino
The ice cube story?
Rich
Yeah, no, there's a few stories that shocked me. My dad felt it was like a little depressing. I said, yeah, but dad, he's like healthy and alive.
Covino
He looks great. You know, that's the craziest part about it.
Rich
There are times where, there are times where, you know, he, he went down some dangerous paths. So I think The Charlie Sheen 2.2 part documentary definitely worth watching. What you got, Danny?
Danny G
Week three college football five games. Must watch. Number 12, Clemson at Georgia Tech. Number six Georgia at number 15, Tennessee. Number 18, South Florida at number 5, Miami. Number 16, Texas A&M. At number 8, Notre Dame and Florida at number 3, LSU with Artuba Player.
Rich
I can't wait. And you know I am going to keep my eyes on Yankees, Red Sox. I feel like, you know, that rivalry is starts in like 10 minutes strong. So we'll see if. If the Yankees or Red Sox could get some distance this weekend because one may end up with the best wild card, which means home field. So important.
Covino
Well, crazy week guys, but we made it through.
Rich
Arrivederci, baby.
Covino
See you in the promised land.
Rich
Have a good weekend.

This is an I Heart podcast.

Podcast: The Dan Patrick Show (Covino & Rich segment)
Network: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
Summary By: PodcastSummarizerAI
This episode delivers the signature blend of sports analysis, pop culture, and humor from Covino, Rich, and friends. With NFL Week 2 and baseball pennant races heating up, the crew debates the true "Big TV Game of the Week"—including a Super Bowl rematch—and navigates spicy fight talk for the upcoming Canelo vs. Crawford boxing mega-fight. The hosts also dive into "revenge games" and bulletin board material, field fun fan calls, poke fun at each other’s sports allegiance, and share standout recommendations for the sports-filled weekend ahead.
Covino:
Rich:
Danny G:
On the Canelo-Crawford weight clash:
“I know that Canelo could hurt Crawford...he’s skipping two weight classes.” – Covino (05:31)
On trash talk and motivation:
“He who angers you, controls you. If you could anger them and tap into their emotions, then you’re already one step ahead.” – Covino (15:45)
On why “revenge” games matter:
“When it becomes personal, you care more. And that’s why it ties back...The bear does matter, because you as a fan are now more invested.” – Covino (20:24)
Fan ethics, wearing rival gear:
“The only time I’d wear gear other than my team...If a family member makes it to the pros, then all rules are broken.” – Rich (41:00)
On Kaepernick/narratives in sports hiring:
“If I’m the GM of a team, I want the best guy out there that’s going to make me look good...I don’t care if he’s Mexican or...what he is.” – Covino (35:02)
Conversational, quick-witted, and irreverent—the show’s tone bounces from sports-nerd deep dives to locker room humor and friendly roast battles. The hosts blend honest sports analysis with fan-first perspectives and never miss a chance to poke fun at one another. Listener calls and inside jokes keep things lively and relatable, especially for fans who live and breathe football, boxing, and baseball.
This episode is a perfect warm-up for a loaded sports weekend, especially if you want analysis that’s both sharp and spirited—and don’t mind some good-natured trash talk along the way. The crew’s game picks, betting angles, and personal storylines will help you choose what really deserves the “big TV.” And if you’re looking for “revenge” narratives, fun fan ethics, or just need to feel hyped for Canelo vs. Crawford, Covino & Rich have you covered.
