Episode Overview

This lively episode of The Dan Patrick Show (Covino & Rich takeover hour) blends sports talk, pop culture, and personal anecdotes, with a particularly relatable focus: how missing important communication (calls, emails, or messages)—often thanks to kids, screens, and spam folders—can shape big moments in life and sports. The hosts riff on a recent story of NFL player Hunter Renfro, whose own child’s love of "Bluey" led him to ignore career-saving calls. The crew expands on this with hilarious stories, NFL and MLB updates, and a shoutout to the Ravens’ budget-friendly stadium menu.

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

[Steve Covino]

No such thing. I'm Dr. Scott. Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Your boy, Hunter Renfro. I say your boy because you guys have things in common.

[Rich Davis]

What do we have in common?

[Steve Covino]

You both have nose picking kids.

[Rich Davis]

That is true. We do both have nose picking kids. Facts. There's a story about Hunter Renfro that.

[Steve Covino]

I find both make lame excuses up when you're not around for important phone calls.

[Rich Davis]

That's busy.

[Steve Covino]

Rich is the guy. I don't know if everybody has a guy like this. He's one of two things. He's a guy that calls you with something that could have been texted. Like. That's what he called me for. He could have texted me that. That's always a weird feeling. But he's also the guy that calls you and calls you and calls you. Right. Let's say you missed a call, you call him back, and then he rushes you off the phone. I was like, you were the one calling me. Now you're rushing me off the phone.

[Rich Davis]

True story.

[Steve Covino]

It's the weirdest thing, Spot. Have you noticed that? It's a weird, weird, noticeable personality trait. Notice that? It's like, why you rushed me off the phone? Were you the one that called me up?

[Rich Davis]

Probably. Probably called you and I had, like a, you know, a question or a reason to call you. Not anymore.

[Steve Covino]

Well, Hunter Renfro in the news because he missed an important phone call.

[Rich Davis]

No, not one. Ten important phone calls. The story goes like this. Hunter Renfro, as you know, he got cut by the Carolina Panthers, trying to make a big comeback. He missed all of last year.

[Patrick Mahomes]

There was an injury, though, that led to them bringing him back.

[Rich Davis]

So I'm not even there yet. This is the guy that was a star for your Raiders, Danny G. And then things just sort of went not so great for Hunter Renfro last year. Ulcers, I believe, and other ailments.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Yep. And before that, he ran into Josh McDaniels. Unfortunately, was in that doghouse, had a couple of concussions. So tough road for him. The past few years.

[Rich Davis]

Tried to make his comeback and actually got cut by the Panthers, but injuries have now led to them saying, we, just kidding, come on back. But the whole come on back thing happened via a phone call that he was not receiving. He kept getting calls, in fact, from his agent from Carolina Panthers front office people. But guess what? His kids are on his phone watching Bluey, which, by the way, great show. Hey, mom. Boom, boom, boom.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Yeah, his kid kept swiping, ignore dad.

[Rich Davis]

What are you doing, kid? Am I getting calls? No, stop it. Bingo.

[Steve Covino]

So his kid ignored the call 10 times.

[Rich Davis]

Bluey.

[Steve Covino]

That's the story. Panthers brass calling him up and they're like, yeah, nah, Bluey. Sorry. And that was the reason he missed these calls from his agent and from the Panthers. That's the story.

[Rich Davis]

Well, as promised. Hello, Colin in Chicago. Hello, Imash. Colin in Chicago. Hello.

[Steve Covino]

Chicago.

[Rich Davis]

Hello, numero uno. 50 stars.

[Steve Covino]

4.

[Rich Davis]

So, yeah, I mean, it poses the question, have you ever missed an important email, an important call, an important message? Maybe it got thrown to a wrong mailbox or.

[Steve Covino]

Well, that happens all the time. But if it's that important, you're looking for it, right? But there's a lot of messages that get lost in like some random folder or just like a message as a host. Sometimes I'll get a lot of feedback and it ends up in a folder that I never check. And I'll get that like two months later. I feel bad sometimes.

[Rich Davis]

It'll be like Instagram or Facebook or something. And it'll be under almost like a requested folder.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, that's not important. But I did want to explain that happens.

[Rich Davis]

It'll be like months old. Like, hey, love your show. I'm like, yeah, dude, I'm guy. I promise you, I'm not a jerk. Thank you. But I didn't get this message. Danny, you said you have a story about a missed email a la Hunter Renfro.

[Patrick Mahomes]

You got to bring up old stuff. Yeah, I was talking to this big time, big shot program director in Portland. It was like 2009, 2010, and we were in talks about me joining as his assistant program director. And I was going to be doing afternoon drive. So we were trying to agree on the money. We were going back and forth and he told me, look, I'll email you with my final offer. And I'm like, all right. So I had a couple other offers. Things going on at the time, I never got that email from him, so I thought he just couldn't meet my asking price. And I guess that's dead in the water. Couple years ago, I was clearing out my spam folder in my Yahoo. There is an email in there where he's giving me his final offer. He was able to match the money and he said, and I need you to call me in the next 24 hours so I can get this done through the general manager. Let's go. I. I felt so stupid looking at that email.

[Rich Davis]

There's a different timeline where you move to Portland.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, but you'd be like a sandal and sock guy. He'd be like, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Danny G would be a hippie.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Hanging out at Voodoo Donuts.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, I like you better this way, Danny G. But yeah, that's important. That's bad. So has there been a moment where maybe your kid ruined it for you because they didn't accept the call or it was lost in the spam folder? Like Rich said, 87799 on Fox. Cuz, I mean, that's pretty important.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, it all worked out. But think about it. Hunter Renfro, his agents is probably feverishly calling him like, we got the offer. We got the offer. There was an injury. You're back on. You're a Carolina Panther. The Panthers front office is calling Renfro and again, his kids are watching Bluey and bingo.

[Steve Covino]

Is Bluey still hot right now? Because you always talk about that demon hunter thing now.

[Rich Davis]

Well, that's for younger, I think. Demon hunters. My daughter's eight. That's more for younger girls.

[Steve Covino]

But Bluey's still as hot as it once was.

[Rich Davis]

Bluey's still popping for the young kids. Bluey's legit.

[Steve Covino]

How about Cocomelon? Is that still popping?

[Rich Davis]

That's popping for the youngsters.

[Steve Covino]

How about Baby Shark? Are kids still rocking to that?

[Rich Davis]

Ms. Rachel? I think that's still a thing too.

[Steve Covino]

Things go through phases. Yeah. No, because when my kid was little, she's a teenage pain in the ass right now. Yo Gabba Gabba was all the buzz in, all the rage and Caillou and Fresh. And those things go so quick.

[Patrick Mahomes]

So you know the new one, Rich on Netflix. Have your kids watch Booba Booba?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, your Blueies and your Boobas.

[Rich Davis]

I love that meme. It's like every generation has their Blue dog to get them through tough times. It's like Huckleberry Hound, Bluey, the Blues, Clues Dog, and Snoop Dogg.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Yeah, we had Snoop Dogg.

[Rich Davis]

Now I have a story that's, you can imagine, a little more scandalous. And Covino, I believe, was part of this. I'm surprised he doesn't remember this one. Missed phone calls or missed opportunities back.

[Steve Covino]

In the day, though. Take it back on a Tuesday. Do you remember, like, the crazy responsibility that would be on you as a kid if you got a phone call and it was important for your parents, you had to write it down. Do you remember that feeling? This is important. You need to write it down. You're writing down a message for mom and dad because they weren't there. Like, I'm not The answering machine. But you had to do that stuff.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, not to be.

[Steve Covino]

That's something your kids will never know. I probably unlock the memory. But you had to do that. Wait, hold on. Relay some weird message to your dad about some guy wanting money or whatever.

[Rich Davis]

And you know for a fact you didn't write down enough. I remember in college, not to be.

[Steve Covino]

Too inside radio, you wrote the number down wrong and it's all your fault.

[Rich Davis]

Now, not to hit you with another radio story, Danny, but I didn't miss out on a job. But I remember my college roommate got the call from a big time program director at iHeart when I was a youngster on the come up. And he's like, I don't know, some dude. And he kept saying his name wrong. It was Kid kelly out of Z100 in New York, which is a big deal for a college kid. A guy at a New York radio station was getting back to a college kid about his demo tape and he's like, I don't know, some dude called. I'm like, who?

[Steve Covino]

He's like, I want a stupid name.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know, like, like Kid McGee or something. Like who? Like he almost messes up. So that whole idea of taking a message for someone. But I have a better one. Cavino and I, back in our single days, we were always good wingman to each other because a girl's usually not going to like me and Covino because it was either like she likes the Latino guy or the white guy. Like, we were good wingmen to each other in that way. There were these girls that were like, we want to hang with you guys. We'll call you later.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, I remember this thing.

[Rich Davis]

And we were like, oh, dude, they're gonna call us later. We were single and 20 something and dumb.

[Steve Covino]

We were partying in Hoboken. I remember the bar and everything. We were at the Cadillac Bar in Hoboken, New Jersey.

[Rich Davis]

We were in Jersey and it was earlier in the night. And these girls, like at the end of the night, let's all meet up. And they were pretty. Without saying it, they were pretty much like, hey, us two hot girls want to totally get naked with you guys. I remember Camino and I were like, yo, I think these two hot girls want to hang late tonight. Our buddy Nico, who you know, was like, yo, in the meantime, you guys want to go have another drink at my apartment? We go to Nico's for a drink. The night passes. And these are the days of flip phones. These aren't. We don't have iPhones. The night passes like, yeah, man, we got stood up. Those girls never called us. That sucks. We leave. Nico's go into the parking garage. He was getting a bad signal. All of a sudden, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. These girls, like, we're waiting for you. We're really like, we're really, how do I say this? Horned up. Essentially. We're all ready. Where are you waiting? The more you make us wait, the more we want you.

[Steve Covino]

And oh, my God, I can't believe you're blowing us off. Like, we weren't blowing anybody off.

[Rich Davis]

And then it turned into like, well, forget you guys. We're like, no.

[Steve Covino]

And honestly didn't realize that we had no signal the whole time.

[Rich Davis]

No signal. And then by the we called them back, they were like, yeah, no thanks.

[Steve Covino]

So, yeah, missed opportunity for sure. Couldn't see the bars on your phone.

[Rich Davis]

Come on, you got the little bars.

[Steve Covino]

The 2000s, early 2000s. I didn't know that was the deal at the time, I guess, but Hunter.

[Rich Davis]

Renfro, pretty funny story. So if you want to share some times where you missed out on an opportunity or again, Camino makes a good point. If it's really important, 99% of the time you're rechecking. Like, I'll be honest, if I email the boss and it's something important, I will even check my spin folder to make sure it didn't go in there.

[Steve Covino]

So. And Google Mail has everything categorized now, like purchases, transactions, promos, your actual mail, your important mail. Like, yeah, like, you gotta check those things all the times because it could get lost in the mix. You don't wanna, you don't wanna pull Danny G or Renfro here.

[Rich Davis]

It is hard to miss something important.

[Steve Covino]

Nowadays, but still happens.

[Patrick Mahomes]

It seems like back then more emails went to spam for whatever reason.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but you get so much junk, it is easy to still lose some stuff. Like not really notice what it is because it's in the mix of all the other crap that you get.

[Rich Davis]

No doubt. So, hey, your thoughts at Covina Rich? Hunter Renfro looks like he's going to get another opportunity now for the Panthers, which, by the way, could they be one of your surprise teams of 2025 when we talk about these teams?

[Steve Covino]

Week one, because it's going to be the schedule watch.

[Rich Davis]

Rich, did you say schedule watch?

[Steve Covino]

I'd have to look at their schedule. Oh, boy, the Rich loves to look at the schedule.

[Rich Davis]

Game, schedule, watch, schedule watch.

[Steve Covino]

In.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you the Carolina Panthers first couple weeks because I think the Panthers could be a team that early on if they play like a team that has had top draft picks the last couple of years and really built something. Carolina starts at Jacksonville, winnable game, then they play at Arizona, winnable game. And then they play the Falcons winnable game and then they go to New England. That's another rebuilding team. So the projected point spreads for those first four games, they're no more than a four point underdog or actually they're favored against the Falcons. I know it's hard to do a point spread three weeks out, but as of right now in Vegas, they're not big time underdogs against anyone. So maybe Carolina, maybe Hunter Renfro is part of the the solution in Carolina. We shall see. Maybe that team steps it up again. Weak division, weak schedule. We'll see what happens.

[Steve Covino]

Speaking of football, if we have time because we got Showtime, homes. Trivia coming up. There's a Le'Veon Bell story that I actually had to double check and I cause I couldn't believe it was real. I was like, there's no way. And I was talking to Big Mike who runs this place. Who? He's like, what are you guys talking about today? And I told him, I was like, there's this lady on Bell. He's like, there's no way that's true. So I looked it up and if AI's wrong, AI said it's also a true story. I'm like, I can't believe. Believe it. If we have time, we'll tell you about the time he played hooky.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Bell said it. Big Mike said he just doesn't believe him.

[Steve Covino]

He thinks he was like, right, right. So we'll get to that. Plus giving away prizes. Are you ready to play? Because that's what we do next.

[Rich Davis]

Coming up, if you want in, Showtime, Mahomes trivia. It's very simple, guys.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, we're two days away, bro. Come on, NFL, let's go.

[Rich Davis]

And then three days away from Patrick taking on the Chargers. Right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So I mean, that's going to be one of your big Week 1 games. So we'll bring in bootleg Mahomes, do some Showtime trivia if you want in. 87799 on Fox. And speaking of the Chiefs, as we get your feedback and phone calls, we'll play next. Did you see Jason Kelsey said I hope I'm Travis's best man.

[Steve Covino]

He said he has a lot of friends, but he hopes he's the best.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I'd imagine. But do you know that you could actually bet in Las Vegas who Taylor Swift's maid of honor will be? That's actually a bet.

[Steve Covino]

You know what? That's a question.

[Rich Davis]

Make.

[Steve Covino]

Like, in my family, let's say I can make my brother like my kid's godfather. And people would say, well, why would you do that?

[Rich Davis]

It's already your godfather.

[Steve Covino]

It's already her uncle. Right. You make a friend a godfather. Why would you waste that honor on your brother? Can the same be said about best man? It's like, well, it's already his brother. Makes someone else a friend, the best man.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I don't know about that.

[Steve Covino]

I think it's automatically Kelsey. I think you always go with family first.

[Rich Davis]

I disagree, because I feel like they already have a title.

[Steve Covino]

That's the argument. That's my point.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, but I think they're so close. They have a podcast together. They're both NFL stars back in the day, and now with Travis still playing. But I think Jason's the obvious answer.

[Steve Covino]

In other words, the question is, he's already your brother. He's already your best man. Make someone else your best man. It's quite the honor. He's more than just a friend. He's your best man. And then therefore your brother by the honor. And the same argument goes with godfather and things like that. It's like, why would you give it to a family member? They're already a family member.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that's your uncle.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I don't play by those rules. I do play by family first. So based on my theory, you don't choose family. Jason should be the best man. I believe him. He's best man. And you can't refuse. Yes. An offer.

[Rich Davis]

I'm making you my best man.

[Steve Covino]

An offer he accepts.

[Rich Davis]

But I always look at it this way. You don't choose family, best man, or honor.

[Steve Covino]

You have a brother. Your brother should have been your best man. To me, that's insulting.

[Rich Davis]

But he's already my brother.

[Steve Covino]

That. That's the thought. I don't agree with that thought.

[Rich Davis]

And we're not like the super closest, so I feel like by default, just make it my best man. I have friends that I was closer to.

[Steve Covino]

I think if Travis doesn't pick Jason, it's a little bit of a slight. Unless he plays by your rules.

[Rich Davis]

Well, only because they are so abnormally synonymous with each other. But hey, speaking of the Chiefs, speaking of the Kelsey's and all that Mahomes Showtime trivia, we got the phone calls lined up.

He missed the call from the Panthers because his kids were hogging up the screen with the Bluey.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say hi to Virginia.

[Steve Covino]

By the way. You think everybody knows what we mean when we say Bluey if they're not living that dad life.

[Rich Davis]

Bluey is a very popular kids cartoon.

[Steve Covino]

I know it's common knowledge for anyone with kids or nephews or anything, but if you're like that game, you might not know Bluey's a kids show. Australian, right?

[Rich Davis]

Australian dog.

[Steve Covino]

I thought I'd never have to play this song again after the first hour. And Sam, everybody that watches it will do their best job to convince you that it's the best show that ever was.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, I'm listening to this music. It is. It is one of the best kid shows.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but you know what, everybody?

[Rich Davis]

You know what?

[Steve Covino]

Eureka's Castle was the best kids show. Every parent thinks Salute your Shorts was the best. When I was. Every parent thinks whatever their kid watches was the most special. Because it is. It's the truth.

[Rich Davis]

But I mean, I'm talking about Pee.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Wee's Playhouse was the best.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, objectively, Mr. Rogers was the best. Some of the newer shows have really. You know, it's like adult jokes mixed into. Anyway, you know what? Let's say hi to Scott. Virginia. What's up, buddy?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, guys. What's going on?

[Rich Davis]

What up, buddy boy?

[Steve Covino]

You guys crack me up every afternoon. I appreciate your show.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

[Steve Covino]

Man, this. Back in the Stone Age, before cell phones. So I met this girl, and she was. She lived out of town, but she was from here. Anyhow, she said, give. Give me a call. So I broke out the phone book, looked up her name. Her parents were split up at the time. I called the wrong house. She lived with her mom, not her dad. I was calling her dad, calling her dad, calling her dad. I was like, okay, well, she blew me off.

[Rich Davis]

She clearly doesn't want to talk to me. Meanwhile, you're calling her divorced dad. It's probably just bitter and angry anyway. You know, it's funny. When I first met my wife, I.

[Steve Covino]

Wanted to hear the end of the story. Maybe him and his dad became good pals or something.

[Rich Davis]

They're dating, though.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe they went out for beer.

[Rich Davis]

When I first started Dating my wife. I sat down, sent flowers to her dad by mistake because it was still the 2000s. Enough. Where? Late 2000s. I'm flattered. No, I guess I just was like, let me surprise her. I don't know her home address. I actually looked it up and I sent flowers and her dad's like, whoa, who are these from?

[Steve Covino]

Well, that's very nice of you, son.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's do this. It's time. Mahomes Showtime Trivia.

[Steve Covino]

Thanks, Patrick. Thanks, Mike. Patrick was all hyped up about it. Also little known fat guys. Steve Martin was born in Waco, Texas. Really? The Gaines family?

[Rich Davis]

You brought up the gay. Well, Patrick brought up the Gaines. Because we know.

[Steve Covino]

Well, aren't you.

[Rich Davis]

Aren't you believer that a chip is the actual prize?

[Steve Covino]

You know, I've always said that. Joanne. Joanna. Joanna, right. Joanna's beautiful and talented and all that, but the real treasure is Chip Gaines money.

[Rich Davis]

Go buy their stuff at Target while.

[Steve Covino]

You'Re at it I might. So thank you. Broke My homes is extra pumped about the game on Friday. And he showed no sympathy to Bill Belichick. Thanks again and thank you for playing the game. We do that every Tuesday. Giveaway prizes. You just won an iou, which is just as good as money. We have Nerf footballs on standby, the shipments coming in and we'll send you out one as soon as we can. And some koozies. Those are IOUs. Thank you.

[Rich Davis]

Just as good as money. So I wanted to bring up. You know what, I'll pose it as the form of a trivia question just to get the conversation rolling. What could very well happen this year in Major League Baseball that has never happened before? Statistically, something is very close to happening.

[Steve Covino]

I know the Yankees are going to have nine players in their lineup with over 20 home runs.

[Rich Davis]

That could be a record, right? Would that be.

[Steve Covino]

Well, here's the thing. Eight ties the record and they're probably going to have that. They're saying McMahon doesn't count because he only played, you know, half this, not even half the season, a quarter of the season with the Yankees.

[Rich Davis]

It's a great stat though.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Rich Davis]

I mean we know that complete games are down and the shutouts and these things are just non existent in baseball. But there's another stat. I'll give you a hint. We sort of talked about the other day and it just shows you the way the game is going to.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, I know. Does that do a.300 batting average? We may have like one to two under five probably.

[Rich Davis]

We talked the other day about how there's like five players in all of Major League Baseball who are batting over.300. And Aaron Judge is now down to the early low 320s. There might be. Get this, this is wild to think of. As of right now. We got what, 20ish games left in baseball. Trey Turner is batting.301 and Freddie Freeman is batting dead even.300. If both of those guys go down one point, we could very well have our first ever. And I'm going back to the 1800s. You could have your first batting title champion. Who's batting in the 2002 for all we know. Fast forward a month. Trey Turner.

[Steve Covino]

Judge is not going under 300.

[Rich Davis]

But there's in the National League in American League basketball.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you mean in the nl. Okay. I mean, but that's make it clear in all of baseball, there's only a.

[Rich Davis]

Handful of in the history of baseball in 1968, which was such a great Year for baseball. If you're a baseball nut like we are, I love baseball. 1968, that was the Detroit Tigers. The year of the pitcher. Bob Gibson, that was the Cardinals Tigers. They said that Tigers team kept that city of Detroit alive during rush riots and fires and everything. That was a great baseball season. But it was called the year of the pitcher. That was the year when the mound. Remember they adjusted the mound after that.

[Steve Covino]

The year before was year of the belly itcher. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. I remember that year before that was the year the catcher. And then the year before that was the year of the belly scratcher.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah, exactly, Sam. You're right.

[Steve Covino]

You're right.

[Rich Davis]

But in 1969, your Miracle Mets, the year before that, Detroit Tigers and that Tigers team, it was Carly Strempsky that year, the year the Tigers won the World Series. Not East Shremsky on the Tigers, I'm saying, Carl, you, Shrimpski batted.301 and that was by far the lowest batting average. Yeah, there's been a couple recently, like luis arise, like batted 3:14 and won a batting title.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, that dude won three years in a row. No one gives a diddly squat about it. Shows you the importance of batting average.

[Rich Davis]

Batting average has taken such a backseat. Let me just say that one more time. They'll go to DB for an update. If you're, if you're just joining, we are a point away from. Imagine if Trey Turner and Freddie Freeman, if neither one of those guys plays pretty solid over the next 20 final games, we could be like. And your NL batting champion, Freddie Freeman at.298, the batting champion. That means no. 1 in the National League, Mets, Phillies, Braves, Cubs, Brewers, Dodgers, Padres, no one is batting.300.

[Steve Covino]

No one is such a no.

[Rich Davis]

1. Wild thought.

[Steve Covino]

It's a gen. It's a boomerang Gen X thing. Any. Anyone below Gen X doesn't really put the emphasis on it because it still means a lot to me.

[Dan Beyer]

We were talking, I was talking with some buddies of mine last week when I was on vacation and we were at an establishment where there were TVs on and the MLB Network came up. Their topic of conversation, true story, was can Luis or I still win the NL batting title? And he was hitting.286, right? Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You know what it's like? He is like, get hot for 20 games. 400 over the next month. Maybe. Maybe. Well, DB, let's go to you for an update. What is going on, my friend?

[Dan Beyer]

And I'll just throw this one out there because we love great Tony Gwynn stats. Tony Gwynn debuted in 1982, played in 54 games, hit 286, 289. Excuse me. That season, next season, appeared in 86 games, hit 309. There wasn't a season after that where he hit lower than 313.

[Steve Covino]

Unbelievable.

[Rich Davis]

Dan and I were talking during the last break that when we were kids we were telling Ian and some of the young editing dudes, I was like, yo, year after year when we were kids in the 80s and 90s, you were guaranteed that Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs would bat like 360 or something. That was just automatic.

[Dan Beyer]

Yes.

[Steve Covino]

George Pitts Frasers.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I brought up those guys too.

[Dan Beyer]

For average, I missed a 309 in there, but again below 309. Forgive me. Yes. Moving on to other get to the NFL action in a second. But there is a new college football pull out. Ohio State number one according to the Associated Press. In their latest top 25, Penn State is two. LSU jumps up to three with Georgia at four and Miami at five. Now Oregon came in at sixth. Texas, the preseason number one falls to seven after that loss to the Buckeyes. And at eight is Clemson after losing to LSU, nine is Notre Dame after they lost to Miami and 10 is South Carolina. They had a win against Virginia Tech on Sunday. Florida State debuted at 14. Alabama dropped to number 21. Chargers running back Najee Harri a full participant in practice today while the Bills on wide receiver Gabe Davis Jackson dart QB2 with the Giants behind Russell Wilson. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said wide receiver Stefan Diggs will play against the Raiders on Sunday. Jaguars have the Panthers with Travis Hunter listed as a first team wide receiver and second team corner at the US Open. Second seed Carlos Alcaraz onto the semifinals of the men's draw with a straight sets victory today. On the women's side, top seed Arena Sabalenka will face Jessica Pegula in the semifinals. That's because Sabalenka didn't have to play her quarterfinal match. Marquita Vandrusova I had to withdraw because of an injury. So the top seed moves on in Queens. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

Dan Beyer. I look at you as our Fox Sports Radio expert fantasy football guy. You do your show on the weekend.

[Dan Beyer]

Yes, with Kerry Rhodes, 5 o' clock Eastern, 2 Pacific. We have the Late Window and the I Want yout Flex podcast with Mike Harmon.

[Steve Covino]

I want your flex. That's my theme song, Dan.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks Sam.

[Dan Beyer]

It's actually after I Want yout Sex. That's for the George Michaels song. That's. Yes, but. But I don't know what that was.

[Steve Covino]

Backstreet Boys was that.

[Rich Davis]

You should record that. Ratings gold, baby. One quick question. Travis Hunter, I mean, first team wide receiver. Is there any indication that people late round pick him? Is he any interest in fantasy?

[Dan Beyer]

Not only is he intriguing in the individual defensive player leagues, he is going a lot higher because you're going to get those wide receiver stats for someone that you could put at an individual defensive position. So he is, in fact, he is a big factor when it comes to those sorts of leagues.

[Rich Davis]

Perfect. All right, listen. Some more baseball thoughts, some NFL all coming up here on Fox Sports Radio.

Betrayal weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot.

[Dani Shapiro]

I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me.

[Steve Covino]

I feel trapped. My breathing changes. More money, more money, more money. And I went white. I realized, wow, like, he is not a mentor.

[Dani Shapiro]

He's pretty much a monster.

[Steve Covino]

New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations. This didn't just happen to me. It happened to hundreds of other people. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth.

[Rich Davis]

I'm going to tell you my story and I'm gonna hold my head up.

[Steve Covino]

Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We are live Covino and Rich, the world famous CNR on fsr, the most famous show your friends never heard of. Covino and Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Three things. Because whatever your two are, I know you're not going to mention this. Dan Buyer for I want your flex.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Think about a promo with that video and him in like just Seahawks football pants, flexing.

[Steve Covino]

Ooh.

[Rich Davis]

Oh.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Central thinking about that.

[Steve Covino]

Steamy.

[Dan Beyer]

So sounds hot.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, sounds like something. Sounds like something for only dance dot com. How have we not used that drop ever? Now if you just joined us, you missed Showtime Mahomes trivia. And I saw him leaving. He said he's heading to Brazil. He gave me a T shirt. It says Bella cheeks on it.

[Rich Davis]

Stop.

[Steve Covino]

Says he trademarked it. So I don't know. Bella cheeks. That's pretty cool. I'll be rocking that at the gym today. And if you missed us yesterday, well, we filled in for Dan Patrick. We were on live on Labor Day.

[Rich Davis]

And it was a lot of fun. Honestly, it was a really quick three hours because we had so much fun. And if you need a little something extra to listen to, why not check out yesterday's Cavino and Rich pod. A lot of fun. Now, we talked about batting 300. And how like insignificant it is in baseball now. Like batting.260 something is like, wow, wow. Your boy Derek Jeter, who people love to talk about underrated. I think I'm, as a Mets fan who hates the Yankees, I hate when people say Jeter was overrated. I think if anything, the guy's such a winner. You know, Jeter batted.310 in his career and he batted over 312 different seasons.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he's amazing. All time Yankee hit leader. Anyone that says he's overrated doesn't know jackedly squat about baseball. That offense revolved around that guy.

[Rich Davis]

And the other baseball Observation, how did no. 29 teams other than the Mets in Major League Baseball want to take a chance on Pete Alonzo this past off season? He just made a ridiculous play first. He had a solo home run in the first. He's. He's on pace for like 40 home runs. 120. Ribby's batting 2 70. Almost like, I hope he leaves your.

[Steve Covino]

Team next year because he's a solid first baseman. He really is. He's unappreciated for sure.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, I don't know. I mean, I think you appreciate fans.

[Rich Davis]

Love him, but the fact that the Mets didn't want to resign him and he sort of like came back like, all right, guys, they gave him a decent deal. But I am still shocked to think that there's 29 teams out there that could have made a legit bid at Alonzo and just figured, nah, not worth it. He's on the decline. If anything, he's having one of his career years and baseball's heating up. We talked a hell of a lot of football today, but tonight I'm excited to see your dude, Max Freed pitch for the Yanks against the Astros. The Mets are pitching McClain tonight, his fourth start. The movement on his ball. Did you see that? Another strikeout. Baseball's heating up. There's so many fun teams. Dodgers, Padres, Cubbies, Brewers, Mariners. I think can make some noise in the playoffs with that stacked lineup. And of course Detroit. I'm excited about baseball, playoffs and football at the same time. I think it's the only time of the year for sports.

[Steve Covino]

And you got that Netflix documentary you got to watch.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Unknown number. Oh, my God, the high school Catfish. Watch on Netflix. You know what? Running out of time. Do you want to talk about the Ravens or should we save it for tomorrow?

[Rich Davis]

I mean, there's some we have we.

[Steve Covino]

Didn'T get a chance to talk about. Le'Veon Bell and his story. It's a fun one.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's worth mentioning real quick. We could just give shout outs to the Ravens because they're doing something. We talked the other day, Danny, about how football, the experience to take a family of four ends up being the price of a vacation.

[Steve Covino]

Well, we talked about how expensive the average ticket price is. Number one was the Raiders over $500 or whatever.

[Rich Davis]

Almost the expense.

[Steve Covino]

We talked about beer. Recently, the Ravens have released the new concession menu that includes 11 items under $5. So refreshing to think, you know, at least somebody's trying to give you a deal.

[Patrick Mahomes]

Flock friendly.

[Rich Davis]

The flock, you know, like the flock of ravens. So the flock friendly fair, they got got a barbie, a barbecue chicken sandwich, nachos, hot dog, pretzel, french fries, peanuts, chips, popcorn. There's a beer, there's a soda, there's a water.

[Steve Covino]

Yo.

[Patrick Mahomes]

A warm pretzel is A$99.

[Rich Davis]

It's ridiculous. So, hey, props to the Ravens for doing the right thing for the fans and making an under $5 menu. You got to give props for props are due. They could have a great team this year. And not only your team. Family. Family friendly. Get a kid a hot dog and it's under five bucks. Perfect.

[Steve Covino]

Eleven items.

[Rich Davis]

We'll see you guys later. Until the then. Arriba di, baby.

[Steve Covino]

See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Later, guys.

No such thing. I'm Dr. Scott. Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
