  • Steve Covino’s View: Blames social media negativity for fueling rush to judgment; “Isn't that also the culture we live in? It's like you're an a-hole until proven otherwise... It's our default setting now as a society.” [05:08]
• Comparisons: Dan Campbell and Liam Cohen were also initially ridiculed but turned out to be transformative leaders.

---

2. The Impact of Social Media Criticism

• Observations: Negative comments and reviews are far more common and “easier,” with few people going out of their way to post compliments.
  • “It’s more fun to tweet, ‘this guy sucks.’ It’s easier. It’s just what we do.” — Covino [10:21]
• Analogy: Criticism of new coaches likened to dating, where you’re expected to prove your worth up front.

  • Memorable Quote: “She was great. And she was doing it for a really long time and so many things that you watch throughout the years. So rest in peace to Catherine O'Hara. 71 years young.” — Covino [15:29]
• Transition to Moms: The conversation spins into TV and sports moms, touching on their childhoods and pop culture.

4. Would You Want Your Mom on Reality TV? (Mama Kelsey on “Traitors”)

• Set-up: Rich discusses seeing Donna “Mama” Kelsey (mother to NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelsey) on Traitors (reality TV) and asks if having your mom on such a show is cringe or awesome.
  • Covino: "On a reality show, cringe. Would it be the worst? I would be cringing... It would just be so awkward." [17:08]
  • The Kelseys’ fame connected to Taylor Swift is noted as a reason for particularly careful brand management.

So check that out. Busy, busy weekend of fights and fun. And we kick it off with you guys.

[Rich Davis]

Quick question before we get into an unfortunate death in the world of Hollywood and entertainment and movies. We're going to talk about you're cheating tricks a la tyrod. Matthew. There's a story that's unbelievable. And who owns your city in the world of sports, a lot of fun stuff. I promise you that here on Covino and Rich. But I just want to remind everyone that I saw some criticism of Joe Brady and his introduction as the Buffalo Bills new head coach. I don't think you should really put much stock into this because when you think back to some of these. Introductory, introductory. Introductory.

[Steve Covino]

You're putting like extra Rs in there.

[Rich Davis]

Introductory.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it's okay. We got it.

[Rich Davis]

Liam Cohen, Duvall. Everyone made fun of this guy. Relentlessly making fun of him. Duvall. Duvall made fun of Dan Campbell for, you know, what, biting kneecaps or whatever the hell he was talking about. And these are two guys that ended up really changing cultures and franchises, and they were both mocked. So I just feel like your smoothness in press conference number one, I don't know how much stock you should really put in that because they've gone through the process.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but isn't that also the culture we live in? It's like, you're an a hole until proven otherwise. You're guilty until proven innocent. You're just a doofus until you could win somebody over, Someone could say something.

[Rich Davis]

About you on social media and everyone believes it until you somehow are like, no, it's not true.

[Steve Covino]

It's our default setting now as a society, especially in the world of social media. It's like, that guy sucks until he doesn't.

[Rich Davis]

But before we get into the meat of the show, I just want to throw that out there because I did hear on multiple platforms and podcasts and shows like, man, he, you know, Joe Brady looks a little flustered. A little. You know, just talking about how he's getting hyped up on coffee and Gatorade and like, what a weenie. It's like, well, you know what, what.

[Steve Covino]

Do you think people say about you the first time they see you? They go to Covino Enrich FSR on YouTube. They're like, this guy, this jittery buffoon. And of course that's true and all, but then you win people over, like, ah, but we like them. That's just the default setting of everybody in today's world.

[Rich Davis]

Jittery buffoon. You learn to love. Should that be in my. Should that be my bio?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, believe me, I'm sure they think the same thing about me. Jittery buffoon in a different way. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, abrasive guido.

[Steve Covino]

I've learned to love this guy who thinks he's cool. What a tool bag. Oh, but you know what? They're pretty good.

[Rich Davis]

It's funny.

[Steve Covino]

So default setting always starts with the negative. It's just the way of the world. But especially in sports. Especially like in broadcasting too. It's just that tyrannical fandom where it's like, I hate these guys. These guys suck. And you really got to win people over. Sports, It's a fanatical fan base.

[Rich Davis]

Kavino's 100% right in. In broadcasting especially. Do you know how many times and.

[Steve Covino]

Not just us people have their guys, other.

[Rich Davis]

Other shows deal with this as well? You get so many people. It's like, it's really. Is one of the more kind things you could hear as a broadcaster, podcaster host. Yo, when I first heard you guys, I was like, I hate these buffoons. And then you know what I realized? I listened a little more now. I love you guys.

[Steve Covino]

It's a certain mindset. It's a certain type of person, right? It's. It's most people nowadays because of social media, but in the world of sports. Football, ufc, wrestling, Rock fans, podcast fans.

[Rich Davis]

God, people are territorial.

[Steve Covino]

Everybody. Yeah. Tyrannical. I hate you. You stink. Until you show me you don't. That's just how it is.

[Rich Davis]

It's almost like you're almost like a terrible woman in the dating scene. That's like, you need to prove you're worthy of man. And what do we do when women say that? We deem those women like, bad women, right? Like, yeah, you got to prove, like, you're worth it. That is a bad woman. So why is it, when you're criticizing a coach at his press conference, again, Liam Cohen. Exhibit A stinks. Exhibit B. Dan Campbell. Two guys. Two guys that had sucky intros that ended up being great for their franchises.

[Jim]

When you guys first came to our network, you were on the longest probation period, I think, of any show that I've been around because of your style of sports talk radio.

[Steve Covino]

Out a doubt.

[Jim]

Yeah, there were. Remember when I first took calls on Sunday nights, I had people saying, who are these jabronis?

[Rich Davis]

They suck.

[Jim]

Get them off the air and hanging up on me. And the same dude, a couple months would tell me my favorite show.

[Steve Covino]

You know what?

[Jim]

I actually kind of like him now.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I'll give a shout out to a guy on another network. You know, Evan. You've probably heard Evan Cohen. He's on ESPN mornings. He came up to Covino and I once, and he goes, you know what? When I first met you guys, I.

[Steve Covino]

Hated you and like, your faces. I saw you guys. There was no way you could be good or funny. Hated you. You stunk, but you won me over. And he goes, wrong. And he goes.

[Rich Davis]

He goes, I was so wrong about you guys, but my default was to hate you. And I go, that's everyone, though. And it's not just broadcasting. So let me throw it out there. The end. Let's. Let's give Joe Brady a chance to take over from McDermott.

[Steve Covino]

That should be. You have to train yourself to. To let that be the default setting. Well, let's see what he could do before we make an assumption, before we make our opinions on this guy. Let's see what he could do. Let's see what he could bring other people. You know, Dan Campbell was your example. We've seen other people prove us wrong.

[Rich Davis]

Isaac could definitely vouch for this, being that not only he is a, you know, radio update guy and a broadcaster, he's a play. And, Isaac, in the world of calling sports, you could attest how territorial people are, that if the new guy or New woman comes in, they have to, like, prove it above and beyond. Like, they almost have to, like, kiss the ass of the, of the fans always.

[Isaac]

If you're in particular replacing a legend, you are in for a rough first year, but hopefully they will adjust to you. Just go on social media when even an established person is calling a game and you'll find some very colorful feedback.

[Steve Covino]

You know, I.

[Rich Davis]

That's a, that's a nice way to say it.

[Steve Covino]

Not only is it our default setting, unfortunately, but it's so much easier to get on social media, X, for example, Twitter, and say some negative stuff because how many people are quick to write a bad review as opposed to saying something nice? You know, you're not going to go out of your way to be like, you know what? This coach seems to be doing a swell job so far. No one's going to tweet that. It's more fun to tweet, this guy sucks. It's easier. It's just what we do. It's the culture we live in, and it's really unfortunate.

[Rich Davis]

We, we are ass backwards with that.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly. And someone gives you a great service at a restaurant. Our default setting should be, you know what? I had a pleasant experience at Chipotle today. But no, we only do that when a guy sucks. And that's just our way.

[Rich Davis]

It really is.

[Steve Covino]

Social media made it that way.

[Rich Davis]

We're the worst. Not, not me. All of us together. And I think that's lesson one of today's show. We can move on. But it's, it's so true that if you go to a restaurant and as comedian Sebastian Matiscalco says, Sebastian, Sebastian, he says, if I have bad salmon, he goes, I go home. I deal with it. I don't tattletale. And it's really what we're doing. We're tattletailing like, I didn't like my food, but if you had a great meal, sometimes a waitress has to beg you. Like, we're also being mean and negative before.

[Steve Covino]

You know, when it comes to this coaching stuff, before we even got the meal right, before we even tasted it, we're making these negative assumptions. I feel bad people lean with the negative. And that's just the way we are, especially in sports. A lot with sports, it's horrible. So, you know, make that conscious effort to be a little bit better and let it play out.

[Rich Davis]

I was conscious of this when the Mets made some moves because, you know, they let Pete Alonzo go and Edwin Diaz, he said, beat it. I'm going to Laugh. Until the Mets signed some big dudes. Luis Robert, before they signed Boba Shet, when they got Polanco, who's a good player, the feedback on, like, fan chats was like, this is the move. And if I'm Polanco, I'm like, oh, man. Yeah, like, they're mocking my acquisition.

[Steve Covino]

Could be a pleasant surprise, man.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So just be.

[Rich Davis]

I hate this phrase, be better, but, you know, don't always lead like an a hole lead. Like, I'm open and willing to be receptive to liking something.

[Steve Covino]

There you go. Let's just see how it plays out before you make that assumption.

[Isaac]

And.

[Rich Davis]

And it can pleasantly surprise you. Look at Tom Brady.

[Steve Covino]

First.

[Rich Davis]

First day in the booth, fans were waiting to be like, he sucks. He sucks as a broadcaster.

[Steve Covino]

You ever go now, like, that's another great example.

[Rich Davis]

And a year. A year later, everyone's like, you know, Tom Brady's really coming along.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, for sure. But he also worked at it. And, and he has proven. See, we live in a world where you got to prove it. But he has. He's proven us that he's going to put the work in, and he's getting better and better each week.

[Rich Davis]

Everyone's a critic. Everyone thinks they're King Joffrey. Remember Game Spur? Remember Game of Thrones or what is it in Gladiator when Joaquin Phoenix has, like, the thumb up or down? Like, we all. We all think we're a king.

[Jim]

You know what's incredible? Tony Romo went backwards like Benjamin Button.

[Steve Covino]

Seems that way.

[Rich Davis]

You know what? Hey, let me tell you, Jim, I'm going backwards day, game by game. All right, let's. Let's address a really sad story we saw today and spread like wildfire.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, most death. Most deaths do. But it was crazy to see the outpouring, the outcry of love of Catherine o', Hara, Rest in peace, who passed away. Actress Catherine o', Hara, best known in my opinion, as the mom from Home Alone. I think that's safe to say, right? 71 years old, but Beetlejuice, another one. A lot of animated classics like A Nightmare Before Christmas. Elements.

[Rich Davis]

Most.

[Jim]

We just all saw her on that documentary.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, Candy documentary. But you're leaving out, like, her second. It's. It's. It's Home Alone and Schitt's Creek. Those are like that. Those are her two over Beetlejuice. I mean, no. I mean, yes, I said Beetlejuice.

[Steve Covino]

Beetlejuice.

[Rich Davis]

You can say Beetlejuice 20 times.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, but that's bigger than Schitt's. Creek.

[Rich Davis]

No way.

[Steve Covino]

Yes way, dude. No way. Legendary 80s movie and they did a sequel.

[Rich Davis]

I guarantee if you read headlines and we're not going to argue classic movie.

[Steve Covino]

We're not going to a show that streamed and not everybody saw. You're going to tell me he's bigger either way, she's known for lots of different things. I'm not trying to fight you about it.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I'm not going to fight.

[Steve Covino]

You said I've got the biggest.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not going to fight you over her obituary.

[Steve Covino]

And you're fighting me over Beetlejuice. I would give her headline as Home Alone mom and star of Schitt's Creek.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Who's spot the be all, end all.

[Rich Davis]

He thinks he is so I'll go with it.

[Steve Covino]

Spot the editor of IMDb. I am. I disagree. Beetlejuice has been famous since the 80s.

[Rich Davis]

It was a big movie but.

[Steve Covino]

And she was a sequel.

[Rich Davis]

But her reemergence. Her reemergence. This whole.

[Steve Covino]

I was saying it wasn't famous but you know, we've been talking about BEETLEJUICE for like 40 something years.

[Rich Davis]

No, we haven't.

[Steve Covino]

Really. We haven't. That's funny. Maybe not in your house.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe you just sweat my coffee.

[Steve Covino]

So she's famous. No need to fight about it. And most famous probably for being the mom of Kevin McAllister. She played a great mom and the dad.

[Rich Davis]

And the dad in that movie passed away years back as well. So Kevin McAllister is an orphan. Oh, that's it. Little orphan Kevin.

[Steve Covino]

Little orphan Kevin. So every Christmas now you'll see her and big. Ah, she was great.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And she was doing it for a really long time and so many things that you watch throughout the years. So rest in peace to Catherine O'. Hara. 71 years young.

[Rich Davis]

That's kind of.

[Steve Covino]

You know what I mean? It's old, but it's young in today's world. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And you know. Right.

[Steve Covino]

You ought to live to at least 80 something.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's interesting because she's a, you know, big time famous TV movie mom. We're not going to get into all that. But it did make. It did spur question because yesterday you and I were going to touch on this. We never got to it. I'm watching Traitors. Danny G. You were right about this. So are you. Kavino. I'm late to the party, but I'm sort of almost caught up now. I didn't watch the previous seasons, but.

[Steve Covino]

Wannabe Pee Wee Herman host Yo.

[Rich Davis]

Michael Rapafort is a wild dude, huh?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

My God. I. I could watch. He is.

[Steve Covino]

Do you get that clown on this show? Danny G. You got the.

[Rich Davis]

We've had Rapaport on before. Can we get him back on?

[Jim]

I. I had him on one of my hip hop stations back in the day.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he loves to yap it up, that dude.

[Rich Davis]

But I. I found him to be TV gold, to be honest.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, he's great. Yeah, he made.

[Rich Davis]

The guy doesn't know what to shut up.

[Steve Covino]

Well, art in which we watch television nowadays, we're looking at our phone, right? So I'm looking at my phone when my girlfriend watches this show, and it's one of the biggest shows on TV right now. Traitors. Every time Rapaport came on screen, you.

[Rich Davis]

Put your phone down.

[Steve Covino]

You put the phone down to watch him. He's a must watch. Polarizing a hole. Yeah, he's so funny.

[Rich Davis]

But I thought about it because I'm watching the show and mama Kelsey is on the show.

[Steve Covino]

Very endearing. Yeah, I mean.

[Rich Davis]

Super sweet, super nice. I'm not going to give spoilers, but mama Kelsey on Traders and I said to Covino, speaking of mama Kelsey and unfortunately, the passing of a huge TV mom, Catherine o'.

[Steve Covino]

Hara.

[Rich Davis]

Would you guys, as the kitty, say, would you be. Would it be cringe or awesome to watch your mom on a TV show.

[Steve Covino]

On a reality show, cringe. Would it be the worst? I would be cringing, but I think it would be the. I'd be so. Not that my mom's embarrassing. It would just be so awkward. Think of your mom on that. That type of platform, that type of attention. I mean, God. With Travis. 20 celebrities.

[Rich Davis]

Travis and Jason are NFL hall of Famers. They have a popular podcast. He's dating Taylor Swift. Like, fame is no. Fame is no stranger to the Kelsey family. But do you think when Travis and Jason are sitting back and they're watching Donna interact with the who's who of.

[Steve Covino]

Like, Housewives and like, in Ron funches.

[Rich Davis]

Ron, oh, God, he's a treasure.

[Steve Covino]

And all these maniacs.

[Rich Davis]

Do you look at that and say, yo, that's. They must find it hilarious? Or do you think they're like, oh, Jesus, Mom.

[Steve Covino]

They have. They have a great outlook and, you know, there's a great vibe about the Kelsey. So they probably get a big kick out of it. But it has to be a little awkward at times because you also don't want people talking down to your mom in any type of way. You don't want anything weird to happen that goes viral. Their brand is in question. I'M sure there was very, very. My thought was there had to be very, very strict rules on what was put out there with Mama Kelsey because their brand is so popular, connected to Taylor Swift's brand, who's so popular. I'm sure they handled that with, with, with lots of care.

[Rich Davis]

Michael. Michael hit us up and goes absolutely cringeworthy to think of his mom on, like, yeah, because I think, I wonder, like, would you be like, oh, mom, don't say that. Don't do that.

[Steve Covino]

Your mom fighting with Michael Rappaport on tv. So, you know, like.

[Rich Davis]

Or like a, like a housewife, like at least a Rena.

[Steve Covino]

God bless the Kelsey's for, you know, dealing with that, supporting their mom in this situation.

[Rich Davis]

Stilo and Stockton said, yeah, I love my mom, but, yeah, this is a big no.

[Steve Covino]

So based on the passing of one of the most famous movie and TV moms today, Rest in peace. Catherine o' Hara got us thinking of sports moms and mama Kelsey, who's making national news on this show, Traders. A lot of people still catching up, so I don't want to say too much. And other moms we want to pay tribute to today. Are there sports moms that trump Mama Kelsey? She might be the number one out there. She's the mom of two of the most famous.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, that is true. But you know what, is she the real mvp? Because I'm thinking Kevin Durant's mom got the ultimate, like, are you the real MVP mom?

[Steve Covino]

That's still one of the greatest speeches too.

[Rich Davis]

I love that.

[Jim]

Oh, what about and then mommy with Fernando recently.

[Rich Davis]

Fernando Mendoza. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy. So, I mean, you got to say that maybe Fernando Mendoza is the guy.

[Steve Covino]

But the one that comes to mind immediately, Mama Mendoza. Even before Mama Mendoza, Mama Durant, Mama Kelsey. The one that comes to me immediately as an 80s 90s kid is Donovan McNabb's mom soup commercial.

[Rich Davis]

She brought out the soup.

[Steve Covino]

Chunky soup. Chunky soup. You know, she's tackling people in the commercial, but she was part of that whole campaign. That one comes to mind. So which other ones do we want to pay tribute today on behalf of Catherine Ohara's passing? 87799 on Fox. Hit us up. And let's think about it. Who else comes to mind?

[Rich Davis]

Is there a sports mom you could think of?

[Steve Covino]

We'll take Zach Wilson's mom, bro. Remember, she got a lot of attention.

[Rich Davis]

She certainly did. Mommy, who's the mom that. Mommy, who is the mom that allegedly, allegedly like, slept with, like, the veteran hockey player? Wasn't there like, remember, like the hot rookie hockey player that was like, he's the next Wayne Gretzky. And his and his mom was apparently like hooking up with the veteran on the team.

[Steve Covino]

I remember the story. Allegedly, it turned out to not be true. Was a good story, but it was a good story and it got that mom a lot of attention because she was hot. So who comes to mind for whatever reason, because she was in a soup commercial, because she was on a reality show, because she was the hot mom. Who comes to mind?

[Rich Davis]

Who's the mom that comes to mind? We'll take your feedback next. Plus, we are going to get to your cheating ways. We're going to share some cheating tricks. It's a scandalous show today, guys, because NFL star Tyron Matthew talked about back in the day how he tried to pass a drug test and it's like dangerous, crazy and hilarious all at the same time.

[Steve Covino]

So it's kind of stupid.

[Rich Davis]

That's stupid. That's stupid.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, the bat phone is ringing.

[Rich Davis]

Hello? We'll. We'll take all your feedback. Oh yeah, phones are so hot.

[Steve Covino]

Who's calling the bat phone?

[Rich Davis]

There is no Thelma. What the hell? So we'll take your feedback next. More cavito and rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Jim]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Mind Games Narrator]

Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, nlp, might actually work.

[Rich Davis]

You know what?

[Steve Covino]

Even and can't wait because next next week's going to be crazy.

[Rich Davis]

You know why you got to check a bag? Sounds like totally lame, but shoes.

[Steve Covino]

Let's get some shoes.

[Rich Davis]

If you, if you bring, you're there for a week. If you bring more than one or two pair of sneakers, like, oh my God. Because you're probably going to want to bring, you probably want to bring like a nice pair of Jordans or something and maybe a pair of dress shoes or something. I don't know.

[Steve Covino]

Why do you need all that room, bro? You bringing your Herman Munster boots or what?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I'm bringing my, my big red Sonic the Hedgehog boots.

[Steve Covino]

We're just bringing his, his moon boots from the 80s. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

What are you talking about? All right, let's go to your feedback. In honor of Catherine o'.

[Steve Covino]

Hara.

[Rich Davis]

Rest in peace. Kevin.

[Steve Covino]

Best known for Beetlejuice.

[Rich Davis]

Best known for Schitt's Creek, Home Alone, and Best in Show. And for your consideration, a lot of Christopher Guest movies. Waiting for Guffman, 71. She passed away. They don't know how yet. So that it's just the story today. Rest in peace. Oh, man, that hit me hard.

[Steve Covino]

A lot of Tim Burton movies, too.

[Rich Davis]

And know what? She's alive and well. But I'm watching Traitors, and I saw Mama Kelsey, Donna Kelsey, and I was joking with Kavino, like, yo, would you be mortified or think it's hilarious if your mom was on, like, a hot reality show, like, watching in a weird.

[Steve Covino]

Way, you just got to let them do their thing.

[Rich Davis]

You know that Travis and Taylor Swift were probably sitting back watching Donna Kelsey argue with Michael Rappaport and Ryan Funches.

[Steve Covino]

And she was very lovable, and she was very honored and thrilled to be a part of that show. So in retrospect, without giving anything away, if you guys are watching it, it seemed like that experience meant the world to her. So I'm sure that the Kelsey brothers were happy to see that. And, you know, because of Catherine o' Hara and Mama Kelsey and all the mom talk, shout out to your mom, Marianne Rich and my mom or Denzia, what are some other famous sports moms? You know, speaking of sports moms, who.

[Rich Davis]

Gets a sports mom?

[Steve Covino]

My mom used to embarrass the hell out of me because she was the loudest one always. Always the loudest one at the games. Anyone, always screaming.

[Rich Davis]

Anyone's mom ever almost get in a fight at, like, a little league game or a sporting event?

[Steve Covino]

Eventually, I just got numb to it. But, yeah, I heard that story about your mom. She called that a little kid, right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, my. I'm. I'm in the batter's box, you know, probably about to rip a double. Isaac, you could imagine, right in the box. This kid's not a great pitcher. You don't need to say it.

[Steve Covino]

He was more of a belly itcher.

[Rich Davis]

Way more of a belly itcher than a pitcher. I was. I actually. I wanted a pitcher. I'm in the box, and I hear my mom. Come on, Richie, this guy stinks. He's throwing meatballs. And I'm like, Jesus. And I look and then some other mom's like, that's my son.

[Steve Covino]

What do you mean he's throwing meatballs?

[Rich Davis]

I remember, like, Joe woods and my mom gonna get a fight in the stand. So, yeah, shout out to our moms and all the Sports moms. We give a shout out to Fernando Mendoza's mama. We give a shout out to the.

[Steve Covino]

Real MVP in Fernando's. By the way, in Fernando's defense, I think he's saying Mommy because he's Cuban Mommy, not because he's saying Mama.

[Rich Davis]

No, he's like Danny DeVito and twins. Mama.

[Steve Covino]

He's not doing baby talk. Or Jim Carrey and Liar Liar Mommy.

[Nav Green]

And Poppy.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, like Jim Carrey in the elevator. And to Poppy. Was that an outtake?

[Rich Davis]

No, Kavino, it's because you have nice jugs.

[Steve Covino]

I mean.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's say hi to John in South Carolina. John, what Sports moms get a shout out from you?

[Caller]

Hey, guys. How you doing? I love the show.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, thanks, man.

[Caller]

So anyway, you guys made my day today. One of my favorite questions, especially on a first date, is, who is your favorite TV mom of all time? So that's the question for you guys.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I know. Kavino loves Carol Seaver on Growing Pains.

[Steve Covino]

Maggie Malone.

[Rich Davis]

Maggie Malone.

[Steve Covino]

She was like. I mean, when you think about it, she was probably one of the hotter ones. And it's not a lot to choose from.

[Rich Davis]

But, yeah, hot TV moms. Peg Bundy always wanted it.

[Steve Covino]

All the redhead moms of the 80s wanted it.

[Rich Davis]

Mona. You're right. It was Mona. Mrs. Roper.

[Steve Covino]

Mrs. Roper.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. All the redheaded moms are horned up.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, John. Let's go to Tim in Pennsylvania. Tim, what gets a shout out? What sports mom?

[Caller]

Hey, guys, the show is fantastic.

[Steve Covino]

Thanks, man.

[Caller]

Maybe somebody a little quieter than Donna. Kelsey is Mrs. Manning. She's got some good pedigree in her.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, I'm so glad you said that. You know why? Because our automatic. We were talking about default settings, right? And some of them are terrible in our mind. Always leaning negative. Our default setting is always to give Arch Manning the credit. Like, man, he must have to sue ber sper. But, like, what about Mama Manning, who gave birth to all these legends?

[Rich Davis]

Exactly. To me, there's more. There's more credit in that. He just deposited. She carried through and delivered Stud children.

[Steve Covino]

Honestly, dude, he took the words right out of my mouth. Is that meatloaf?

[Rich Davis]

Because he took the words right out.

[Steve Covino]

Because I was thinking that. Because we often give the dad the credit for producing.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe you do. Chauvinist.

[Steve Covino]

No, it's the truth. It's the truth.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's say hi to Dee and Penn. What's up, dude?

[Caller]

Hey, what's going on, guys? Love the show.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, man. What's up, D?

[Caller]

Hey, Michael Jordan's. Mom is in the movie air and also has one of the funniest Gatorade commercials of all time where she's showing him how to dunk and clearly it switches to another person. Michael Jordan's mom is the one that first came up for me.

[Steve Covino]

That's a good one because she had great influence on him going with Nike, according to the story. Oh, and Steph Curry's mom had great influence on him going with Under Armour. But that, that relationship's over now, so. Yeah, some good stuff there, for sure.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go to Vermont. Hi, I'm Dave. What's up, Dave?

[Caller]

Yeah, that was. You were talking about the hockey earlier. That was Connor Bedard. Yeah, that was his mom and Corey Perry. They apparently had an affair there and that, that led to the release of Corey Perry from the Chicago Blackhawks.

[Rich Davis]

Well, think about that. Whether it's true or not. Allegedly. Imagine if you're a veteran, like almost 40 year old hockey player, and some young stud player's mom is like your age.

[Jim]

This reminds me of the Delonte west story back in the day with LeBron's mom. Allegedly.

[Steve Covino]

Allegedly. That's a terrible one.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah. Well, you don't want someone to be able to make like a mama joke and it'd be real. Jennifer Coolidge and Jennifer Coolidge, right? Stifler's mom.

[Steve Covino]

Stifler's mom.

[Rich Davis]

You're right.

[Steve Covino]

I was Sam.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's go. Jordan in Arizona. What's up?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Jordan.

[Rich Davis]

Hey.

[Isaac]

What's going on?

[Caller]

Hey, guys. How about changing the Pro bowl from like the hall of Fame game? Actually changing it to a Hall of Fame game. What about like Big Ben and Tom Brady battling it out?

[Steve Covino]

Right? Like an old Timers game.

[Rich Davis]

Almost like old time, you know, Tom Brady wants to play in the olympics when he's 50, so it's not. Not impossible. Know what I thought you were gonna say? I think we're saying let's have all the moms battle each other. Was your mom a good athlete? Is your mom. Because she has five kids. Can your mom cape. Is she capable of shooting some hoops with you, or is she capable of having a catch with you?

[Steve Covino]

My mom's always been in great shape, but like athlete. That's such a weird question to me. I'm like, no, I never saw my mom really do anything.

[Rich Davis]

My mom has. I'm one of three. My, me and my brother were the first two. My sister's the third kid. So my mom, like could throw football. Have a catch with you like that I feel like she had to learn because she had two boys.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, my mom, Danny G. Could.

[Rich Davis]

Your mom catch a ball?

[Jim]

But my mom could dribble a basketball. She played point guard in high school.

[Steve Covino]

Was she a Globetrotter?

[Jim]

Right. And so once in a while, she would come out because we had the hoop in the. You know, in front of the garage. And she'd come out and dribble and throw one up, and we'd look like.

[Steve Covino]

Where'D that come from? Legend has it that Danny's mom used to slam.

[Jim]

I heard that that's when she got Reebok pumps.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. My mom. No. Not much of an athlete, dude. Not really. Not looking back, but, you know, her brothers and my uncles were. My grandma, however, you're right, played basketball in the Mexican League. And back then it was like League of Their Own. It was very rogue and crazy. She was one of the, like, first Mexican women to travel and play. All these European women, and that was a big thing back today.

[Rich Davis]

That was your mom's mom?

[Steve Covino]

That was my mom's mom.

[Rich Davis]

Why did it. Why did.

[Steve Covino]

Skip a generation.

[Rich Davis]

So why didn't your grandma get your mom into sports?

[Steve Covino]

Beats the hell out of me. Do you think I don't know?

[Rich Davis]

You know, I do. I do wonder, and I'm not. I'm not. I might sound like I'm being judgmental, but I'm not.

[Steve Covino]

You're just mental.

[Rich Davis]

I. I do find it interesting when I do see kids that are at a certain age and it looks like they've never thrown a ball in their life. I'm not expecting every kid to be doing travel ball and playing everything, but sometimes when a kid's like, 8, 9, 10, like, 3rd, 4th, 5th grade. My daughter's in third grade at this point, like, you would think, like, a boy and girls have learned to at least throw ball or, like, shoot a basket or something, right? Like, what are your parents doing?

[Steve Covino]

Can I tell a quick story about my mom, though? Because she had a hell of a swing. I was about maybe 8, 9 years old.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe your mom was a baseball star. You just didn't know it.

[Steve Covino]

She had a hell of a swing. Guys, hear me out.

[Rich Davis]

I love the story.

[Steve Covino]

I can tell a story in 30 seconds.

[Rich Davis]

I'm gonna sit back and listen.

[Steve Covino]

Eight, nine years old, right? There's this fat Greek kid in town. His name was Nick. And let's say he was about.

[Isaac]

That's shocking.

[Rich Davis]

Did his family own a diner? Any other stereotypes?

[Steve Covino]

Let's say he was about 12, 13 years old, right? There's a bunch of different mixed kids and stuff. It was like a bunch of kids and he was just a lot bigger than me and he was older than me, and all the little kids just run around the neighborhood. But this kid used to pick on me. I wouldn't say bully me, but he would pick on me. So one day, I guess I came in the house like he did. His nick was bothering me again.

[Rich Davis]

What'd he say he looked like Tattoo from Fetish Islands.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he said something mean about me and I told my mom, and my mom came out with a wiffle ball bat and whooped that kid's ass all the way down the street back to his house. Gave him welts on his back. And he never bothered me again. My mom. And that's the liberties that moms and parents took back then.

[Rich Davis]

What do they used to say?

[Steve Covino]

Takes a village.

[Isaac]

Takes a village.

[Steve Covino]

Back then it never bothered me again.

[Rich Davis]

Dude in the 80s that was like, get what you deserve.

[Steve Covino]

She woke his ass.

[Rich Davis]

Now, your mom would be in prison right now.

[Steve Covino]

So. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what kind of athlete she is, but she had a hell of a swing, dude.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So that I know. Any other sports moms come to mind because, hey, in big moments, they always go to the mom and then it turns to the wife. You know, once they have their own family and they. They have their own wifey. But props and salute to all the moms who drove their kids to practice all those years.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's go to Isaac for an update. Isaac, what's doing, man?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, buddy.

[Isaac]

Hey, fellas. A lot going on today. We'll start with the Minnesota Vikings firing their general manager, Kwesi Adolfo. Men. And today Adolfo Mensah signed a multi year contract extension just eight months ago. Emails released today by the Department of Justice showed that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein connected multiple women with New York Giants chairman of the board and executive vice president Steve Tisch in 2013. Tisch is second in the Giants organizational structure to Giants President and CEO John Mara. Tisch also offered Epstein two tickets to his suite for a Giants game. ESPN just reported that the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks will go up for sale after Super Bowl 60. The Seahawks are presently owned by the estate of late former owner Paul Allen. The Pittsburgh Steelers have just hired Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham as their new defensive coordinator. Finally. Guys, do you mind if I make a sports mom contribution?

[Rich Davis]

I would love it.

[Isaac]

I'm going to go with Minna Wilson now. In a 1989 boxing match in Great Britain, boxer Tony Wilson was being soundly thrashed by opponent Steve McCarthy when Wilson's then 62 year old mother Minna climbed into the ring and began attacking McCarthy with her shoe. Here's how it sounded.

[Nav Green]

He's in trouble. What appears to be Tony Wilson's brother going crazy with an umbrella or something. Well, well, well.

[Isaac]

McCarthy needed four stitches and wound up unable to continue the fight. And Wilson was declared the winner by tko. Minna Wilson, guys, back to you is a fantastic story.

[Rich Davis]

Isaac, man, you always got you the best. Come on, Isaac, I listen, we got more Camino and Rich. We got brainwave coming up next hour. Danny G. Might be my new favorite game here on Fox Sports Radio where.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but you know what? At first, Danny G. Rich's default setting was this game sucks. Gotta let it play out. You know the coaching situation, guys.

[Rich Davis]

You're right, buddy. I love it, I love it, I love it. So we're going to get to that. Plus, who is your city's guy? There's a story out of Cleveland that, ooh, is rough ones and feathers. We'll get to that and more right here. Kavino and Rich, Friday on fox Sports Radio.

[Mind Games Narrator]

NLP, AKA Neuro linguistic programming is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[Jim]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Mind Games Narrator]

Mind Games Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Rich's picks over promised is available now. And now it's time for a tire rack play of the day.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, everyone's Talking about them 19 year old Cooper flag. Take a listen.

[Isaac]

Flag being overplayed by Diabate, but he gets it anyway.

[Rich Davis]

Moving backward toward the mid court line now on the attack. He'll pull up for Three. He hits what a shot ball flag. And a timeout by Charles Lee with 33.1 seconds left. It's a 49 point game for Cooper. Flag.

[Steve Covino]

Flag is just heating up. Getting better and better. Hornets did wind up beating the Mavs at 123, 121. That's courtesy of 97 1, the Eagles Mavericks radio network. That's our tire rack play of the day.

[Rich Davis]

And for over 40 years, you know this tirex been helping customers. You know this man for 40 years. Helping people find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Convenient installation options, mobile tire installation. Great people, great work. Everything about tire rack. Thumbs up the way tire buying should be. Now. So much still to get to. We're gonna play brain wave. We're gonna talk about your cheating ways. We're gonna share some deceitful things you've got away with over the years. There's a, there's a player that tried to pass a drug test in the most idiotic yet funny way.

[Steve Covino]

It's the dumbest, dumbest, dumbest.

[Rich Davis]

We're going to get to that. But let me pose a question and we'll come back to this. Do you feel like every city has a guy? If I named the city, this is sort of how our game brainwave actually came about.

[Jim]

Danny G. Yeah, not sort of. It is how it came out.

[Rich Davis]

Remember we were like, wow, when you think Minnesota and we were like Prince.

[Jim]

Or Kirby Puckett 3 and we all shouted out who we thought, Kirby Puckett.

[Rich Davis]

Prince, you know, like, is there a guy in sports or entertainment that defines a city? And yeah, there was no mincing of words about who owns Cleveland now.

[Jim]

Different energy in this building.

[Rich Davis]

When the James families here, we saw how the fans reacted to Bronnie and certainly this could be potentially LeBron's last game in this building. How would you characterize his impact on this city in the franchise? Well, you could say something. This is Donovan Mitchell city now. It's Donovan Mitchell City now. When he come back, here we go. Make sure that everybody root for him like they did for him. So this is city. Yes, sir.

[Jim]

Jalen.

[Steve Covino]

That is courtesy of our boy George Sedano.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I was like, wait a minute, that's Sadano. I love him.

[Steve Covino]

That's the Donald's voice. Props to him. We used to work with him. Really good guy in the game. And man, that's causing a lot of controversy. Even Kevin Durant I think tweeted about.

[Rich Davis]

Oh yeah, when Tyson said that, saying, hey, this is not LeBron City. It's Donovan City. Kevin Durant said on social media. This is so Kevin Durant. Be careful what you're saying, dog. He could trade you while he's still with the Lakers. I mean, when you think Cleveland, is it still LeBron City?

[Steve Covino]

Cleveland?

[Rich Davis]

Or do you say no, it's not even Nick Mitchell City.

[Steve Covino]

Come on now, who, man?

[Rich Davis]

Well, who is.

[Steve Covino]

He's just a kid from Akron, Ohio. But. But I mean, he's not on the team.

[Rich Davis]

Who's the man? Like, if I said Kansas City to me, Patrick Mahomes. Football, baseball, whatever.

[Steve Covino]

I think George Brett still.

[Rich Davis]

I know you do.

[Steve Covino]

I do. I really do. But I'm saying currently, right now, who is Patrick Mahomes? Definitely, right now, better believe it's Patrick Mahomes.

[Rich Davis]

I hate to say it because I'm a Mets fan, but I would say right now, the most popular athlete in New York would be Aaron Judge.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I mean, who else?

[Rich Davis]

Now in. So if Giannis went to the Knicks and won an NBA title, then this competition. But as of right now, with no real fate, Jackson Darts got a chance. Scatter Boo's got a chance. Brunson at Brunson. But as of now, I would say Aaron Judge might be number one.

[Steve Covino]

I think he's number one by far. Right now. Right now. So Doyle, indoor, across town, someone else. But right now, I mean, there's no bigger guy in sports, but when you think of a city, except for Shohei.

[Rich Davis]

Respectfully, is there an obvious answer? We'll get to that and a bunch more next right here, Fox Sports Radio.
