  • Covino: “Look at all the people here. But how long the entrance was as a result. And, yeah, that threw me off.” (32:13)
• Viral image: organizers and celebrities ringside glued to monitors instead of live action—debate if being ringside is worth it anymore. (32:44–33:31)

Fight Breakdown & Legacy Talk

• Unanimous agreement: Crawford’s performance was a “master class in boxing,” outboxing a frustrated Canelo, who had “no answers.” (33:57–34:58)

Summary

This episode captures Covino & Rich at their best: dissecting headline sports moments with substance and silliness, moving fluidly from NFL and baseball to pop culture and viral moments. Listeners are treated to a blend of sharp observations (Crawford’s legacy, NFL’s changing landscape), memorable rants (East Coast late nights, athlete character), exclusive behind-the-scenes tidbits, and the kind of camaraderie that gives the show its loyal fanbase.

For anyone who missed it:

• You’ll get deep takes on why Crawford’s win over Canelo really matters, why Rizzo is MLB’s most beloved “man of the people,” and why sometimes what happens off-camera says more than the carefully crafted apology.
• The episode is a rollercoaster of sports, humor, and real talk about what makes these moments matter both on and off the field.

He's 75 years old.

[Rich]

Well, anyway, it's a Monday and every Monday we talk a lot of NFL, but we got to a little baseball and some fight game this hour. It was a big weekend in the world of sports.

[Covino]

[Rich]

Shakira. Whenever, wherever. Best lyric of that song.

[Covino]

You know it is just because My.

[Rich]

Lucky, lucky, Lucky that my breasts are small and humble.

[Covino]

There you go.

[Rich]

[Covino]

Lucky that my breast that's falling humble.

[Rich]

So you don't confuse them with mountains. Weirdest lyric in great music history. Second only to a Nickelback in Rockstar with when they say out of nowhere I'll have a quesadilla.

[Covino]

Uh huh. It's one of the best lines ever. All right, so it's the show with Add Cavino and Rich with Danny G. And wrapping up observations from week two of the NFL. They're not all football related. I have other thoughts I wanted to say for last, Rich and we got to get into Crawford Canelo over the weekend.

[Rich]

Our buddy Rob who listens every day down in San Antonio. My buddy Rob Baker said, you know, I think Kelsey's bobbled catch at the goal line that led to a, an end zone interception returned was, was the biggest play and you know, really a big game changer. And the fact that Taylor Swift was snuck in behind bulletproof glass and you know, we're living in a weird time. But that was, that was interesting yesterday.

[Covino]

I mean, Mahomes hit him right in the numbers. That's one of those bang bang plays obviously. Right where Mahomes knows where Kelsey's going to be. Hits him right there. And Kelsey never got his head around to see the ball right there in his hand.

[Rich]

It happens to the best. Last week we were talking about CD Lamb missing two balls in the fourth quarter. The best still have oopsie daisies.

[Covino]

But props to Mahomes for putting it right where it needed to be. And Kelsey was right where he needed to be. His reaction wasn't quick enough to make that play. And it went, I mean, completely against him. And that's one they wanted. You know, that's definitely a game they wanted. But it makes you say hmm, because you can see that magic's there with Mahomes but some of the timings off and will they be able to turn it around? Because Rich's hot take, remember his out on a limb before the season started was that the Chiefs wouldn't even make the playoffs. So that's always in the back of my mind, like, is that a possibility?

[Danny G]

Smart, smarty pants usually take sports media five, six weeks to say the Chiefs aren't even going to make the playoffs.

[Covino]

Right.

[Danny G]

And then what happens the second half of the season?

[Rich]

Yeah, I know, I know it's inevitable, Danny.

[Covino]

Okay, now before we get into like other observations, this one's football related. One of the bigger headlines over the weekend was Usher was asked who's going to play halftime. Hey Ursher, who do you think should play halftime? And he threw Metallica out there. I thought that was kind of cool.

[Danny G]

He agrees with us.

[Covino]

Yeah. I mean look, is it going to happen? Probably not. It's probably going to be Taylor Swift and I heard you mentioned Miley cyrus, rich on pop 2k or whatever. But it was cool to see an R and B guy throw out one of the greatest rock bands of all time just to put it out there into the universe and say, hey man, I mean Metallica would be a cool choice but I think we'll probably get an announcement in the next week or two. Right?

[Rich]

I think my guess and announcement this week and I say that because last year we found out you said on.

[Danny G]

The 13th last year it was the 8th last year 13th a year before.

[Rich]

We had already had known the last couple years. I have a feeling that because last week was a heavy week 9 11, the Charlie Kirk assassination. Just a lot of. A lot of serious stuff. I think it would have been in poor taste to be like and your super bowl halftime show, I think they were ready to drop it. And now out of respect for a lot going on in the world, I think they waited. That's my guess.

[Covino]

I want to know any that fire that what you desire but think about it.

[Rich]

If it is if it's Metallica or.

[Covino]

Taylor, it's going to be Taylor.

[Rich]

Was it was last week the right time with everything.

[Covino]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Rich]

So I think I midweek my guess.

[Covino]

But you may have missed that reference from Usher and hey, maybe Usher knows a thing or two.

[Rich]

My guess was this week Wednesday all sudden Dan Byers to be like guys, I got something breaking news and we're going to find this out. My guest Wednesday.

[Dan Byer]

I actually disagree with Rich in the reasoning. I thought that last year's announcement of Kendrick Lamar was completely overshadowed because you mentioned the date. But that was week one. So it was completely. It was the Sunday of week one and it was completely overshadowed by all the games. And if we know anything about the NFL, they love the spotl so I think that your midweek claim is spot on because that would be then maybe in advance of a. Of an upcoming game or.

[Rich]

Or whatever.

[Dan Byer]

I mean the Chiefs play the Giants on Sunday night in New York. You guys talked about it earlier. What better week to promote Taylor Swift? And you know, it seems more of like they're. They're fitting to do that on like a Tuesday or Wednesday.

[Rich]

Yeah. One of the days the NFL doesn't already own. Correct. They will own with an announcement like that, so.

[Covino]

Oh, and by the way, Rich, something to back up your thought before about the importance of backup quarterbacks this year, even for the Jets. We left out Fields getting a concussion or whatever. So he's out. And what Taylor's in. I forget who's in for the Jets. Importance of a backup quarterback is showing real significant and no to Rod Taylor. Oh yeah, is really showing the importance this season. So already your other observations of week two NFL. Otherwise there's a few baseball things that stood out to me and of course the fight that we all got together for. We're going to spend most of this hour probably talking about Canelo Crawford amongst some other NFL stuff. But baseball, how about that? It's heating up. And two random things that stood out. Two random things that took up most of our scrolling time over the weekend. One of them had to do with Ken Rosenthal.

[Rich]

Ooh, and by the way, can I give the NFL props one less time and then we'll move to baseball and boxing.

[Covino]

How many props can we give it?

[Rich]

Carrot Top, I met him earlier, so I have a whole box of props.

[Covino]

I give, I give the NFL props all the time.

[Rich]

I never liked and I guarantee Dan Byer and Danny and prevent everyone's with me. I never like the overlapping Monday games. They have a 4 o' clock start and a 7 o' clock start. I think it's perfect when they, you remember in the past years they've done that weird ass overlap like oh, an hour later the second game starts, you got two full. So if you're a big NFL fan, double doozy, three hours apart.

[Unidentified Guest]

Now I will say it's a little bit easier for us to digest being on Pacific time zone versus when I lived back in Ohio, you know, and that game, that second game's coming on like 10:30 at night and Chris Berman's covering like Vikings, Raiders.

[Rich]

It's a little tougher to stay up.

[Unidentified Guest]

For all of that. But no, I, I hate flipping back and forth with ABC and espn.

[Covino]

A great point. And that was something that the east coast had a major problem with this weekend in the world of boxing.

[Danny G]

Yep.

[Covino]

It seems like when it comes to certain things, the east coast really gets screwed out on being able to enjoy it the way we do here in California. Now. I don't know if you realize, Rich, we watched a fight over the weekend. It didn't start till like 10 o'. Clock.

[Danny G]

It was late. They were a good hour behind their Own schedule.

[Unidentified Guest]

People on the east common too.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah, people on the East Coast.

[Unidentified Guest]

That's common for boxing. It always happens like at midnight or late.

[Covino]

But imagine you call your buddies over for the 9 o' clock card time, right? Like 9pm Most people probably came earlier and then they're staying till past 1am just to see this fight. Now I could see your wife getting aggravated. What are these idiots leaving?

[Danny G]

You're right. I got home from your place at.

[Covino]

Midnight and that's on the west coast. So imagine what was going on in the East Coast. So it's really crazy to see the disregard because growing up on the east coast you do think that everything revolves around you. But it seems very odd to see how they're getting sort of hosed when it comes to stuff like this.

[Unidentified Guest]

I have some friends who are Michigan State fans and they got really upset this week because it was announced Michigan State's going to be playing USC. It is an 8pm Pacific kickoff time. 11pm in where they live, you start losing 11pm for a foot.

[Covino]

For a college football, it's counterproductive for everybody. Here's why. If it started earlier on the west coast, we're fine with that. We're there, we're going to watch it. You're now like forgetting about 50% of the population by putting this fight or the game later. And I reach for anyone on the East Coast.

[Rich]

I get that most sports fans, when they break down the calendar. The calendar, when they break down the map, most big sports cities are East Coast. East coast is your dominant time zone. Right, I understand that. And we accommodate the east coast for everything. So for these occasions, on the rare occurrence, I say to that WAA.

[Covino]

Because how many times is there a.

[Rich]

6Am NFL game or we have 10am football, 9am college football sometimes. So I mean, come on. I think the occasional midnight fight. Deal with it.

[Covino]

You know, that works though. You've grown to love waking up and football's out.

[Danny G]

This just wasn't any fight, Rich. This was the biggest fight of the year.

[Covino]

Yeah. And you got people starting at 1am.

[Rich]

Danny almost made a show up at Covino's like five hours early, by the way.

[Danny G]

Well, when I first googled the start time, it said that the early matches were going to start at 6pm Local here.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

And then that didn't really happen.

[Covino]

Imagine showing up like 5pm Then the main event doesn't start until 10 or whatever. Well, 1p 1am on the east coast.

[Danny G]

Because, Rich, I was thinking that they were thinking about the east coast and they were going to try to start the main bout around 9pm and because.

[Rich]

It'S Netflix, you thought maybe it was different than a pay per view.

[Covino]

Yeah. So, you know, back to what I was saying about Ken Rosenthal, this was a story that was sort of everywhere over the weekend. KEN Rosenthal SIDELINE reporter, MLB wears the bow ties for a good cause. You know who he is. He's always there. He's a fixture at all these games. And, you know, you think he's a good dude because he wears those bow ties for charity. He seems like a likable dude. But then cameras pick him up, getting ready to do an interview at the end of the game, and he backs into a photographer, and the photographer falls on his ass.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And instead of going to help up the photographer, he sort of just mean mugs him in disgust or even a.

[Rich]

Gesture of like, hey, sorry.

[Covino]

He doesn't make any gesture of I'm sorry or let me help you up. Maybe he couldn't help him up because he's about to do live television. I get all that. But the body language and the reaction caused such a stir that everyone online was like, man, this Rosenthal guy seems like a. An asshat. And he got so much backlash that he had to actually address it and apologize.

[Rich]

He addressed it, I believe. Today I want to talk about what.

[J]

Happened Saturday night when I accidentally bowled over Scott Paulus, the Brewer's team photographer, while I was getting out of the way of the brewers dumping water on Andrew Monasterio. Now, the ever observant A.J. pruszynski joked afterward that I looked like Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston. And when I looked at the video, when I saw this, I was surprised at how upset I appeared. I was more confused than anything. Now I had to continue the interview. We were live folks on national television. Couldn't stop. That said, I felt awful about what happened. And afterward, I went up to Scott, who I've worked with in Pitts before over the years, and I apologize, and I apologize profusely because, let's face it, I don't think that you ever expect knocking someone down is going to happen in any particular situation.

[Covino]

All right, now, that was a great apology. It really was. And understandable.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

But is that just damage control because your eyes see otherwise? Dude, I'm sorry. Was he just caught out there in a moment?

[Rich]

We've worked at different networks at this point, and I have heard that he's not the warmest fella. I've heard that. He's not necessarily, you know, the type of Guy that goes out of his way to, you know, be super friendly. I haven't dealt with him.

[Covino]

And then when you see something like this and he's assuming cameras are not, you know, picking this up, it's almost like.

[Rich]

It's when cameras are. When people catch moments when cameras are off, it's like, that's the indication of who you really are.

[Dan Byer]

That's. Yeah, that's the point. So, like the Kibino saying like that he's assuming he's not on camera. That's the point.

[Covino]

Yeah. Now that he knows that it was picked up, what's he gonna say? You're right, guys, I'm a big a hole. He's doing what he has to do in this situation now. But if you watch the clip, his reaction is really odd because I think a normal reaction would have been like, oh, I'm sorry. But like, just any sort of body language gesture of sorry about that. He didn't even, like, extend the hand. He didn't. He did nothing but mean mug this dude.

[Rich]

That wasn't even like, my bad.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

In the apology, which Kavito loved a lot more than I did.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

I thought it was lame. I thought it was like a weird backpack, like, oh, you guys caught me being an a hole.

[Dan Byer]

And what, you guys didn't understand like that? Like. No, I think we understand fully of what happened. I think that we are fully.

[Covino]

Eyes are misleading.

[Rich]

I get it.

[Dan Byer]

You don't understand. We are on live tv, you simpletons.

[Rich]

Then. I'm not saying that I'm Ken Rosenthal level, but we've done live tv, we've done live radio. It doesn't. Like, you could still be kind to someone to be like, oh, yeah, my bad. Or like the one second like, yo, like, could.

[Covino]

If.

[Dan Byer]

If he lent a hand, you know what the titles would be? Like, Fox Sports Reporter helps up Photographer during Live Interview after being knocked down. That's what we would do, right? Lends a hand on live TV to help someone out in a positive way.

[Rich]

Yes.

[Dan Byer]

Instead, it's stares down innocent bystander who gets toppled over.

[Covino]

It's a weird clip. It does appear like, I'm better than you and you're in my way. I don't like that.

[Rich]

And can I tell you that I look at Ken Rosenthal now and know what I see when I look at him? Ernesto de la Cruz.

[Covino]

Ernesto de la Cruz.

[Rich]

You guys know who Ernesto de la Cruz is?

[Covino]

Of course.

[Rich]

Danny, you got kids? Damn by. You have kids?

[Danny G]

Duh.

[Rich]

If you've seen the movie Coco, remember.

[Covino]

Me Although I have to say goodbye.

[Rich]

Remember me?

[Covino]

I'm a big fan of Poco Loco, bro.

[Danny G]

He said, dude, you do not want to sit down and have a drink with.

[Rich]

Ernesto de La Cruz is the guy, the villain where the world loves Ernesto de La Cruz. He's a musician that everyone loves. And then when he didn't realize all the fans were watching him.

[Covino]

When the cameras were.

[Rich]

When he didn't realize the cameras were rolling.

[Covino]

Yeah, we're on them.

[Rich]

The true Ernesto de La Cruz came out. And again, I don't know Ken Rosenthal, but it felt like that's how it looked. It felt like smiley bow tied Ken Rosenthal, who's like, oh, shucks, Nerdy bow tie. Like, when cameras are. When he doesn't know you're watching, he might just be a jerk.

[Covino]

What I did appreciate in the apology, though, was the fact that he did acknowledge that. Yeah. Even from my perspective, looking back, I do look like an ass.

[Rich]

I'll give him the benefit of the.

[Covino]

Doubt because I don't know him, but.

[Rich]

I've heard before that he wasn't a good look.

[Danny G]

Sounded to me like, you want a tower bell to fall on top of him, Rich.

[Covino]

Yeah, I think we could all agree it wasn't a good look for the guy, you know, and then the other very viral baseball moment was Anthony Rizzo was really living it up.

[Rich]

One last thing about him is, yeah, we've seen this with reporters, women and men on camera in a studio. You ever see there was a clip where some woman like, like, like, aggressively pushes away like a makeup woman because, like, she was trying to do a last minute touch up as the camera was rolling. I. It's. It would only be charming and endearing if you embrace that moment instead of looking like a jerk. And we've seen this one too many times working in the world we work in that you hear stories like, man, can you believe that guy or girl was so rude to the people they work with? And you're like, how do they. How do they get away with it?

[Covino]

It's like the person who mistreats the. The wait. The wait staff, you know, it's like it's a sign of character. Yeah, it really is. And it seems like we caught him in an awkward moment.

[Rich]

Maybe he's the greatest guy, but that, you know, to me, that's a. Oh, that's who you really are. Huh? Okay.

[Covino]

At least it felt that way.

[Dan Byer]

I thought his apology sounded like one of his reports from the dugout, to be honest with you, of, like, how he delivers it, because it is a unique style.

[Rich]

It didn't seem like that.

[Dan Byer]

It's very slow and drawn out. And it felt like that explanation and that apology wasn't. It felt like it was the same thing.

[Covino]

Hey, by the way, and another side note, do you see the bananas selling out Yankee Stadium? Like, they're just sweeping the nation, huh?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

The Savannah Bananas, honestly, I mean, we made this point a million times, but they're really, like, they're moved.

[Rich]

I. I heard it's amazing what they're doing, and everyone wants to come out for it. Our pal Nicole, who I do that, my parenting podcast with, it's incredible. Have kids, they said.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Nicole was invited there, and she said that she. Eli Manning was next to her with his kids and swishalish. Your boy Nick Swish.

[Covino]

Eli was like a guest umpire, right?

[Rich]

Yeah. So, like, every.

[Covino]

Joe Tory was a guest manager.

[Rich]

Every city they go to seems like whether it's for their kids or not, everyone wants to be involved.

[Covino]

You know why I was amazed by this? I mean, a, I'm a Yankees fan, B, it's a massive coliseum of a stadium, and I know they're selling out everywhere they go. I get all that. But there's a part of me that feels that New Yorkers are maybe a little too cool for something like that.

[Rich]

Not at all.

[Covino]

Like, the hype wouldn't be the same as it would be in middle America.

[Rich]

It was even a hotter ticket.

[Covino]

Yeah. Cause New York's just oversaturated with things. It seemed like everybody loved the bananas and they really. If you could win over New Yorkers that way, you're onto something.

[Rich]

I know what you're saying. Cause when the super bowl was in New York, New York had this attitude of like, yeah, super bowl, big deal. We're New York.

[Covino]

Yeah. They didn't care.

[Rich]

They embraced the bananas. And I have.

[Covino]

It's amazing.

[Rich]

I have an update on a hypothetical I gave you.

[Covino]

Okay.

[Rich]

And now the hypothetical. I'm curious where you land on this. Maybe six months ago, beginning of the baseball season, I said, kavino, would you rather throw out a first pitch up?

[Covino]

There's an emergency alert, highway patrol. Is there a high speed chase?

[Rich]

Oh, please chase.

[Covino]

Somebody let TMZ know. I heard they're huge on police chase.

[Rich]

By the way, you got to turn it off. It doesn't stop. There you go. I gave you the hypothetical a while back. I said, covino, would you want to throw out the first pitch at a pack Savannah bananas game, 60,000 people, or a Colorado Rockies game with like 5,000 people? There. And you said, bro, without a doubt. The Rockies. It's Major League Baseball Bananas of the Rockies. You were adamant that your answer was the Rockies.

[Covino]

I'm adamant. Like adamant. I'm still gotta shoes on my choice and I'm still sticking and standing my ground.

[Rich]

What if it were Covino throughout the first pitch at a Rockies game or the Savannah Bananas at Yankee Stadium?

[Covino]

Oh, well, that's a good one because like I said, it was cool to see and that and what stood out to me is, you know, that's Yankee Stadium. So it means a little more to me. So when I see the love that the bananas are getting there, it is crazy to see that changes things. But I'd still take the big league game. I think I really, I really would because. Because I'm a fan of the mlb.

[Rich]

I thought I had you there.

[Covino]

This seems like, I'm not saying it's a fad, but it's still more of a fad right now. You know, years from now I'd love to say, yeah, I threw out a first pitch at a big league game, not like a Globetrotters of baseball spectacular. But that's not the downplay the greatness that they've been able to achieve. Props to them. Something else you noticed over the weekend. We saw a lot of Anthony Rizzo in his retirement announcement over the weekend. We'll talk about that and the fight and all your phone calls keeping you involved.

[Covino]

Hey man, it's like Sydney Sweeney said. What did she say something about good jeans. But it's true. Loco jeans or something. Live from the Fox Sports radio studio, we're Covino and Rich. And we'll talk some Mario Lopez. We gotta talk about the fight this hour.

[Rich]

But I do have to say, Kavino, if you ever feel like, oh, maybe I'm. Yeah, maybe I'm feeling young. I'm going to make you feel old real quick. The Tampa Bay Bucks, they did one of those, you know, when everyone's walking into the tunnel, they will interview all the players. Like sometimes guess how many jelly beans. Or do this. Or little fill in the blank. They play those little social media.

[Covino]

What's your favorite Taylor Swift song?

[Rich]

Yeah. They asked the young Tampa Bay Bucks to identify different Items from the 90s. VHS tapes, cassettes, all the stuff. And they were like, yo, I don't know what this is. I wrote down one of the quotes. Yo, the 90s are difficult, bro. Yo, the 90s are difficult.

[Danny G]

One of the bucks thought the cassette tape was a V. He's like, vcr. That's how you play the vhs.

[Rich]

I'll do it.

[Covino]

It's so embarrassing, right? So I blame the parents. I do. It's like, how do you not teach your kids any pop culture reference? They didn't know what a walkman was.

[Rich]

The 90s were difficult, bro.

[Covino]

Come on. But that's like saying you don't know something from the 60s if you saw it.

[Rich]

I hear you. I hear you. I know what an eight track player is. You know what an album is, right?

[Covino]

But they had no clue.

[Rich]

Well, Saturday night, we were at Cavino's. We were watching the fight. Pizza was had Drinks were had. We enjoyed our night observations. I mean, about the fight, about the whole card about Netflix presentation. Anything pop out at you or what? Besides the fact that Canelo was the favorite but seemed to have no answers for Crawford. That was. That was.

[Covino]

Besides Mario Lopez.

[Danny G]

Start with how long the walkouts were, dude. Well, you know, it's like a little mini concert.

[Rich]

We could order pizza, and it had to be delivered. By the time the walkouts were over.

[Danny G]

They were already running behind.

[Covino]

There was a lot of chatter, and we just wanted the fight to start concerts. So we were trying to figure out what the hell's going on.

[Rich]

Dueling concerts.

[Covino]

No, because we're like, does Crawford have mariachis going on? Like, why does Crawford have mariachis going on?

[Danny G]

He had a guitar, and he did.

[Covino]

The whole Antonio Banderas desperado thing. He did the once upon a time in Mexico sort of thing. And I thought that once I saw the guitar, but that was his whole sort of homage to his Mexican fans, which you could also take as a dig to Canelo's fans, But he gets a lot of Mexican support. It's Mexican independence weekend, and then everyone.

[Danny G]

At Allegiant got to see tool.

[Covino]

Yeah. Which was also so, like, a weird sort of thing. But you're right. I think the overall observation here was how massive this event was at Allegiant Stadium. Like, look at all the people here. But how long the entrance was as a result. And, yeah, that threw me off. But Crawford did have mariachis there as well.

[Rich]

A lot of stars came out. I thought that was an observation. You saw a lot of people ringside, including the whole time right there next to the chic. And was that Jason Statham right next to Turkey?

[Covino]

You know what? The observation was, rich. That went viral. Turkey Alchemic and Dana White, who, you know, put this event together, they're there front and center, front row, and they're looking at the monitors the whole time. That's kind of interesting in itself. It's like, you're right there. I get it. If you're, you know, a few rows back, you're right there ringside.

[Rich]

We've been at plenty of fights where you find yourself watching the monitors, and that's the truth.

[Covino]

It happens. But I saw people observing that. And yes, right next to Turki Alishik, who's the guy responsible for putting all these ridiculous fights together because he has the money to do that, was Jason Statham. At least the hat or a lookalike. And Mr. Beast and a bunch of other celebrities that you saw, like, Tyson. Mike Tyson was there, and Michael J. Fox was there.

[Danny G]

Tyson gave Mr. Beast a punch to the midsection.

[Covino]

Yes.

[Rich]

You know, they. They love to do they playing to the crowd. They showed the most likable people. Michael J. Fox and Mike Tyson. And then they showed Logan Paul, and everyone just booed, and he tipped down his sunglasses. So, listen, big stars are out. I don't think the fight was bad. I just think that we were all waiting for Canelo to really unload and to see if Crawford could take it. But he was sort of. He was outboxed, right?

[Covino]

Absolutely. So you can't debate. Crawford brought his best, as everyone said. It's the sweet science that they talk about. He gave a master class in boxing. Hit and not get hit. And that's exactly what Crawford did. And he beat Canelo to every punch. He had an answer to every Canelo flurry. Right.

[Rich]

Canelo looked flustered towards the later rounds. There was a couple times where visibly he, like, just looked aggravated, like, I can't do what I'm trying to do.

[Covino]

And that was noticeable the first time I saw visible frustrated body language from Canelo Alvarez because he was getting tagged. Nobody hurt anybody, I don't think, in that fight. But everything that Crawford did worked on Canelo. He fought an amazing fight, and to be the man, you got to beat the man. So there's no debate. But here's the question. Crawford won fair and square. There's two questions. Was he always the best and just got his chance? Was he always the goat? And guys like Canelo always got the glory.

[Rich]

The reality is, if he's undefeated and then went up in weight class to fight Canelo and won.

[Covino]

No, no, no. Skipped a weight class.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Like, yeah, went up to weight classes.

[Rich]

So it's like, have we been under understating and underplaying Terrence Bud Crawford this whole time? He's always been one of the best, but was he the best this whole time?

[Covino]

Exactly. Something we'll never know. But if you go by he beat the goat, then he's the undisputed dude.

[Danny G]

How gracious was he after the fight in the ring and then the video afterwards where he returns the belts to Canelo and.

[Covino]

So cool.

[Danny G]

Canelo's family.

[Covino]

Yeah. I don't think anyone really good winner. That's what's cool about it. The only criticism is that he's not a flashy guy. Right. But he brings it in the ring. He brought the fight. And the other question is, when you seen the top of the mountain and you Beat the goat. And you put this exclamation point on your career and you got the undisputed 168, all four belts. You're not going up in weight again? I don't think so. What's left? You already beat the guy.

[Rich]

But if there's still a desire. No.

[Covino]

Does he cash in now?

[Rich]

Because if there's still a desire. Danny. I was telling Kavino earlier if he could fight maybe two more times, for.

[Covino]

The record, he got like 10 million and Canelo got a hundred million.

[Rich]

So if you're Bud Crawford and you could maybe fight one or two more fights that you know you could win, don't you deserve it at this point to just pad your wallet a little bit?

[Danny G]

How about if Crawford goes down to 151 and fights Mayweather?

[Jonas Knox]

Just.

[Covino]

Well, that becomes a debate, too.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And that's one of the first things he's asked and Canelo's asked. Canelo said that Crawford is way better than Mayweather. And then Crawford again took the high road. How could you not like the guy? Again, he's saying, look, Mayweather was the best in his era. I'm the best in mind. And he proved that last night. He's the best at 140, 147, 154, 168. And it's just amazing to see. And Canelo, even in defeat, was. Was a champion. But when you make 100 million bucks, you must feel pretty good regardless. But your observations from the fight. 8, 7, 7, 99 on Fox. We'll talk Anthony Rizzo. More boxing, more football.

[Rich]

In a minute, I'm going to kick it to Dan Buyer in the feel of Max Kellerman. Okay, here we go.

[Covino]

Ready?

[Rich]

So, Dan, what is going through your mind when it comes to the NFL Week 2?

[Dan Byer]

I'm thinking a lot of quarterbacks. Max. I truly am.

[Rich]

Injured quarterbacks, I love Max. But his. He was a little too, like, thought out in those questions. I don't know if he saw anything.

[Covino]

Or he was figuring it out as he went. A lot of criticism.

[Dan Byer]

I missed it. Kavino didn't invite me Saturday night, so I did not get a chance to see it.

[Covino]

I didn't invite anybody.

[Dan Byer]

No, you didn't. Everybody else was here, like Danny. Danny said it like nine times during the show when I was at your place.

[Covino]

Covino, he always forgets he hit me up. No, no, no, I didn't invite anybody.

[Dan Byer]

I should always get invited to riches every. Every holiday.

[Rich]

That's true.

[Covino]

It wasn't that kind of thing.

[Rich]

Maybe become more of a rich Davis.

[Danny G]

Buyer lives on the border of San Diego County. He would not have made the drawing.

[Dan Byer]

I live in North, Danny, not south. Oh, it was good times though. I didn't have air conditioning.

[Covino]

Yes, no AC slate.

[Dan Byer]

Absolutely no. You didn't take my advice that I've been constantly giving you about the AC situation.

[Covino]

I still have one more quote coming my way.

[Rich]

You know what he had Remember those, remember those fans that Deion Sanders was promoting? Like he's a cooler fan. Yeah, he has one of those in his living room.

[Covino]

The icy breeze. Man, I was trying to do everything I could.

[Dan Byer]

Thank goodness the fight was at 11 o' clock at night, so the temp dropped some. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expected to miss the next three months or more because of that severe turf toe injury. Head coach Zach Taylor confirming that Burrow will likely need surgery. Jake Browning will be the Bengal starter and Burrows absence starting in week three against the Vikings. Vikings quarterback J.J. mcCarthy has an ankle injury. Head coach Kevin O' Connell says it's likely that McCarthy will miss the matchup against Cincinnati because of his sprained ankle. Reports saying it's a high ankle sprain where JJ miss two to four weeks of action. O' Connell also said running back Aaron Jones has a hamstring injury that will force him to miss the matchup against Cincinnati. Commander's quarterback Jaden Daniels dealing with a sprained knee according to multiple reports. His status for Sunday against the Raiders is up in the air. Dan Quinn explained the situation with the star quarterback.

[Rich]

He did have an MRI and he has already begun his return to play process with us. He is truly day to day. What does that mean for Sunday?

[Covino]

I can't tell you that now.

[Rich]

I'll have more to share on that when we get to Wednesday and practice.

[Covino]

And what that would look like.

[Dan Byer]

Buccaneers and Texans kicking off at the top of the hour. Then at 10 Eastern, it's the Chargers and Raiders, jets quarterback Justin Fields and concussion protocol. Bears have likely lost corner Jalen Johnson for the season as a groin injury that's going to require surgery. Ravens edge rusher Kyle Van Noy could miss multiple games because of a hamstring strain, according to espn. Guys, back to you.

[Rich]

Thank you DB Dan, have a great night, man. Enjoy your double doozy of Monday Night Football.

[Dan Byer]

Can I throw one quickly at you? From what you mentioned earlier, you mentioned Joe Flacco trying to get that victory over Baltimore.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

Do you know the team that he hasn't beaten?

[Covino]

It was Baltimore and another team. Yeah, I forgot. The Seahawks Ah, that's what it was.

[Dan Byer]

Matthew Stafford yesterday beat the Titans. So he's got 31 teams. The one team Stafford has never beaten, the Pittsburgh Steelers. So yeah, so they're right on the. Right on the cusp.

[Covino]

That's a pretty sweet bragging way. I like, you know, random stats like that, like Dan Patrick stat of the day. I saw a pretty cool stat. Rich made me say, hmm, I'll tie it into baseball real quick because this is great company and you know, depending on how you manipulate the stats is sometimes interesting. Jazz chisholm has played 162 games for the New York Yankees and he has 40 home runs and 48 stolen bases in that time span in that full season of last year and this year. Okay, the only other players since 1930 who've gone 40, 40 or more in their first 162 games with the team are Shohei Ohtani and who else? Any guesses? But Jazz Chisholms in that category?

[Rich]

That's a really injured.

[Covino]

And like there's some other random stat too where like Eric Davis has one of the most remarkable 162 spans with combined seasons.

[Rich]

Yeah, it's, it's like when you go back, you know, of course I'm a Niners fan so I know this. But if you go back to like the two years back to back when the Niners won the super bowl, there was like some ridiculous how they were just dominant in the game.

[Covino]

Well anyway, the only other players who've done this to go 4040 with a new team their first year in 162 games is Shohei and Alfonso Soriano. So pretty cool company for a Jazz Chisholm like guy. But anyway, cool stat. Dan Byer. Thank you man. Have a great night. Enjoy the games. Now we'll wrap it up with your final observations of the fight from the fight and Anthony Rizzo and more NFL. We wrap up the show Next Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Surfing on top of a Dragon. Pete Alonzo style, which by the way is the quote of the weekend, goes under the radar because there's so much great football and one of the biggest fights. But the Mets finally found a way to win and they got some help. Reds lost, Giants lost. We have 12 games left and wild card battles are tough. Division battles are tough in a few places. So your Yanks play today, the Twins, right? Twinsies.

[Covino]

Yeah, buddy, play the Twins tonight. But the Blue Jays, Blue Jays keep winning too.

[Rich]

So Seattle's got a lead now, a one game lead over Houston. They've won nine in a row in Seattle. So what did I say like a month ago, did I not? I mean, I'm not the I told you so guy, but didn't I tell you how that Seattle lineup, if they're clicking, I don't know how they wouldn't be one of the more dangerous contenders pitching.

[Covino]

But yeah, pitching bats, when you got.

[Rich]

A Rosa Rania, you got Julio Rodriguez, Cal Raleigh. If they're clicking, that lineup is sick.

[Covino]

Now, speaking of baseball, Anthony Rizzo was all over your social media feed. Got to give him props Just for being one of the most likable guys and normal guys around. Gotta love the Rizzo, because the moment he gets the chance, he's in the bleachers with the Cubs fans, and the fans were so pumped about it. He was having a great time. He always wanted to sit out there and enjoy a game with the Cubs fans. He got a chance to do that.

[Danny G]

Wearing that special jersey with all the autographs from cancer patients.

[Covino]

Oh, what a guy. So cool. Yeah. All autographed and, you know, just all smiles, all high fives. And then there's a dude on the Cubs. How do you say his last name? Danny G. Moises Ballesteros. Ballesteros gets his first big league home run, and who does he hit it to?

[Rich]

But the odds of this. Do you understand the layers of odds that it's like, all right, nuts.

[Danny G]

This is why it was all over our social media, because when you look.

[Rich]

At the layers of. All right, Rizzo had to go to the game. He had to sit in the bleachers, which, by the way, I believe he sat with Hedy Vetter.

[Covino]

Yeah. Eddie Vedder was trash right there.

[Danny G]

And Cindy Crawford.

[Rich]

Cindy Crawford. He got to do the. The cup snake. Right? The.

[Covino]

No, but even Eddie Vedder was like, man, I'm having a great. I'm here with one of my favorite players. Yeah. Like, so he was there. Rizzo was there. But you're right. He'd have to be sitting there for this dude's first home run opportunity. And then ball has to go in his direction.

[Rich]

You mean one of the most shorthanded guys ever.

[Covino]

So Bellisteros hits a home run right to Rizzo, and Rizzo drops it, bounces off his hands. Some other Gibroni grabs it. That guy's pumped. But what a cool moment. And then to cap it off, Ian Hap then throws a ball right to Rizzo, and he actually caught it.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And snags the ball. And it had $100 bill on it. And. And it had a note that says, here's to never having to buy a beer in Chicago. Which is cool, because, again, he was just sitting out there like a normal person, having fun. And it just reminds you, like, some of these guys are really cool. And. And I always felt that way about Rizzo, and I think that's why people love him. He's that guy.

[Rich]

And I. And I think that I'm surprised you don't see more of that, you know, MLB players, I didn't know this, that they all get, like, a gold card. Is this, like, a common fact that they all could go to any game whenever they want. They just go to the box office and they get best available. Every major league baseball player that ever played gets a goal.

[Covino]

I've heard that before.

[Rich]

Yeah, so I'm surprised.

[Covino]

I don't think it's common knowledge.

[Rich]

I'm surprised more players don't undercover do this because it sounds pretty cool.

[Covino]

It's like you at Wendy's when I go to Wendy's. You at Hooters back in the day.

[Rich]

Do you know me?

[Covino]

Richard's vip.

[Rich]

All right, so tonight. I think tonight's a simple one. I don't love to wager on these Monday night games early on because you still don't know. But my instinct is it's Bucks at Texans and Texans are favored by two and a half. I would do an old school Dicky Do Teaser. Covino Teasers, they call him Dicky Do Teaser Does Teaser Town. I like the Bucks plus eight and a half and the Raiders plus nine and a half. Just get, you know, two underdogs getting over a touchdown. I anticipate close games, no blowouts. You know you had one bunk game last night for Sunday night Football, but I feel like two games that are single digit victory. So take the points in both and we'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, arrivederci baby.

[Covino]

See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Enjoy the games.
