A
Label us your two favorite buffoons on the radio now. Cavino. Yeah, I was as bummed as everyone else when they said Jake Paul is not going to fight because Tank Davis is in legal trouble. And then they were trying to Replace him. Is it going to be Ngannou or this guy or that guy? And it just seems like fight is dead. But there's a big butt. I know you like big butts.
B
I like big butts. And I cannot lie. Danny G. Likes big butts too. Who doesn't is my question. The big butt is now this. Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul. Now that's more like it. As Rocky Balboa said, hey, how about you pick on someone your own size? Absolutely. Because that was such a weird, odd mismatch of a 200 pound Jake Paul. I think the max weight was 195 or something like that. And 135 pound soaking wet. Tank Davis, who's five foot five now, Anthony Joshua. This. Yeah, this is a test. Anthony Joshua though, however, is on his like way out of boxing. He's sort of boxing himself out of a career. 28 and 4 in 32 fights. I think he's got 25 knockouts, something like that. But his last few fights, if you guys remember, it all went downhill after he lost to Andy Ruiz.
A
Well before he lost to the taquito eating Mexican baller named Andy Ruiz the.
B
First ever Mexican heavyweight champion of the world. I'll never forget that day. I was jumping around like Andy Ruiz in excitement. But that was 2019. Then he beat Andy Ruiz and then a lot of ups and downs since.
A
But before that, if you remember, I know it seems like a long, long time ago, feel me, it was a long time ago. But there was a moment where Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury were the three headed monster of the heavyweight division. And Anthony Joshua is like a legend overseas. So legend, you're right, this is a big pull, dude for Jake Paul. Jake Paul. Anthony Joshua. Let me just let you know, Anthony Joshua is 36. He's no longer the spring chicken he was a decade ago.
B
And he's sort of punch drunk a little bit. He's got a lot of battle wounds and, you know, a lot of wear and tear. He's fought some really tough fights. He lost to Oleksandr usyk twice in 2021 and in 2022. In the match he lost to Daniel Dubois most recently in 2024.
A
Hold on, no one's, no one's beating Usyk. That guy is unbelievable. So that's no shame there.
B
Dubois tough too. But again, you're right, Anthony Joshua came with that hype. He was the next big thing. They were hoping for a Fury bout in Wembley. Can he still sell it out? Probably because he's Such a hero. Where is it going to take place? We don't know. This is still in development and we'll give you the updates.
A
Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua, here's the question. If this does go down and they sign the dotted line and they got George Washington Duke and Don King and you know, all the promoters, I imagine in my head there is this fun, easy money for a guy like Anthony Joshua that's fought his whole life to get to the elite level. Or is there something embarrassing and humiliating about you gonna fight Jake Paul, dude?
B
Yeah. I'm sure there's other analogies. Like if you're an actor and you're in Sharknado, it's safe to say your career is not doing well. I think if you're a boxer, a legitimate actor.
A
What if you're an actor and you're in the new Kim Kardashian show?
B
Yeah. Like if you're Glenn Close, which I have no idea why she's on that new Kim Kardashian show, you're sort of just like desperate for attention or something. I don't know. There's a star studded cast on that show. But if you're fighting Jake Paul and you're a legitimate fighter, I think that you're sort of on your way out of legitimate boxing and you're now part of a circus sideshow and you're not going to be taken as serious as you should be moving forward. Here's the update and we'll take your phone calls on that thought. 87799 on Fox. Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are nearing a deal for a December heavyweight showdown streaming on Netflix. This is per Ring magazine and this is again after the cancellation against Gervonte Davis. So this is still in development as we speak and there's a lot of people speaking out on it. And Turkey Alishik also spoke out. Rich, but what were you going to say in December?
A
You said yeah, on Christmas Day in Russia?
B
Absolutely. No, I didn't get details on what day yet, but people are buzzing. If you scroll through social media, there's a lot of people talking about this because again, Jake Paul is showing that he's going to walk the talk and he'll fight a legitimate or what used to be a legitimate heavyweight contender.
A
Well, don't say he's not legitimate anymore, but here's the question.
B
Well, dude, if he was going to fight 135 pound tank Davis, that's not really proven a whole lot to me. If he's going to fight a guy who's his size and is a legitimate fighter or was a legitimate fighter. Anthony Joshua, now we're talking. Yeah, now this is, you know, going to size up where he really is in the sport.
A
Yeah. This is the best litmus test ever for Jake Paul. For all the people that say, well, is he ever going to fight like a real fighter? Yo, Anthony Joshua is a champion.
B
Anthony Joshua, I think the Gervonta Davis was a step backwards as far as sideshow, even though that's debatable because a lot of people were saying, no, man, Gervonta's quick and he's tough and he's going to beat him. I was not sure about that. Just because of the size differential.
A
Yeah, but when you say Anthony Joshua is going to get in the ring with Jake Paul, if this goes down, this is a legit fight for Jake Paul. He's, it's not like he's 56 year old Mike Tyson. This is 36 year old, you know, not far removed from being elite. Anthony Joshua, he lost a step. But you're telling me you'd get in the ring with Anthony Joshua? Hell, but here's the question. I want to know, is there any coming back from this? Let me explain. If you're Anthony Joshua, once you enter the sideshow world of Ringling Brothers and Jake Paul circus, do you fight regular fights after that? Because if you make 40, 50, $100 million, you get the payday of your life to be a part of this circus fight against Jake Paul, Netflix everything. Do you then fight like a Dubois again next year? Like I don't think you fight regular fights again.
B
That's what I'm saying. Like, I think you're fighting yourself out of the game of legitimacy. And you could say, well, it's prize fighting and he's fighting for the biggest prize. Take the money and do your thing. That's the weird part of the story and where we are in the sport and not just this sport, a lot of sports. And as far as tail of the tape, Rich already said it. Joshua's 36, former heavyweight champ, 6 foot 6, 2 45, that's a big difference from a Tank Davis, a 5 foot 5, 135. So again, 6 foot 6, 245, Jake Paul, about 6 foot 61 and you know he could get well into the 200 pounds range. I'm sure he could. I'm sure he could beef up to about 230. 240. Now Turkey Alashik has spoken out. He's the guy with all the Money that's making all these crazy fights happen. He says, me and Jake Paul are thinking about doing him against Anthony Joshua. Now, if Joshua destroys him, it will be good for me. The headache of Jake Paul is finished because again, he's stirring it up Bob Marley style. He's shaking up the game. He's being a pest, a problem child. And he says if Joshua destroys him, it'll be good for me because the headache of Jake Paul's finished. If Jake wins, I will know Joshua is finished and Jake deserves a ranking and a future boxing bout. Jake accepted, and next week I'm going to talk with Anthony Joshua about it. So Jake has already accepted the fight, and they're in talks with Anthony Joshua as we speak. So will he jump on that bag? Will he go for the money? Or is this beneath him? At that point, that's really what it comes down to. Like, do you think you're too good for that? Do you think you're too good for that? Even though the money is greater than any other amount you're probably going to see moving forward in the actual sport?
A
There's one key layer to this, and it answers the question, how old is Anthony Joshua? 36.
B
Yeah.
A
His fighting prime is behind him. You take the money, you retire, you feed generations of your family. The Joshua family's future and stars are blessed. You make tens of millions of dollars. Thank you, Jake Paul, for letting me whoop your ass. Or even if he loses, that's one fight he would.
B
Yeah, but you lose, man, you lose all credibility. That's the other part, right? You got the world of boxing on your shoulders.
A
Mike Tyson once told us, like, legacy and all that, that's like, that matters to you, not me. Like, Mike Tyson doesn't seem to care. Certain fighters and athletes don't care as much as fans.
B
That's true. No, you're right about that. And you know what? As far as, like, you gotta be a really. I don't say really hardcore, but you gotta be a fight fan to know Anthony Joshua. Joshua again, Richard, he said, but he's the guy that made his name and his career overseas. Just like Drago was to Russia, Joshua was to England. It was him and Fury. Everyone was all hyped about him and Fury for years and years and years. By taking this fight, not only is he getting paid, but he will get that shine that he's always deserved. Like, I don't think that he's a household name here in the States unless you're a fight fan. Unless you're a fight Fan.
A
I think Anthony Joshua is a hell of a lot more of a household name than some of these other boxers. You mentioned that you think we should know.
B
Well, because he's a heavyweight.
A
Anthony Joshua, there's a caveat. Do you want to sell your future when there's not much future left? I said he's 36. He fights Jake Paul. He's never going to be taken serious again, but he's going to make tens of millions of dollars. Whoop Jake Paul. Probably make everyone, you know, cheer because it's, yeah, someone finally knocked Jake Paul on his ass and he becomes more of like a pop culture hero because he's the guy that whooped Jake Paul. But you're right, he doesn't really box legit fights after that. But he won't need to because he'll make that money. Maybe Jake Paul will want to run it back and he'll make more money. But I'll give the analogy you can't be. You can't find yourself on the outside of Major League baseball, go play banana ball for a year and expect to ever make it back to big league baseball. Like, you've accepted the fact that, yeah, now I play with the Savannah Bananas like it's a step. You know what I'm saying? Like, you don't. You don't take that sidestep thinking you'll ever really get back.
B
Yeah, it's a sidestep. You're absolutely right. Again, the money is big league and big time. But if he wants to get that Fury dream fight in Wembley, the chances of that happening are slimmer. But here's my honest take.
A
The more I think about, it's a girl that worries about her reputation, but she knows she can make a ton of money on OnlyFans. But she knows once I cross that threshold to OnlyFans, there's no going back. I'll make a ton of money. Yeah, but once everyone sees your. Your, Your. I can't even say it on Fox Sports. Once everyone sees you, guess what? You're not getting legit jobs again.
B
So putting the toothpaste back in the tube once it's out, can't.
A
You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. So you fight Jake Paul, you go on Only fans, you start playing banana ball. These are great, cool ideas, but you got to remember, once you do it, it's done like this.
B
You're going to be surprised to hear this. And again, we're figuring this out and processing as we go because this news just broke a few Hours before we got here. Danny G. Sam, I want to know your thoughts. Want to know your thoughts. FOX Sports Radio Nation 87799 on FOX. Here's what I'm thinking. Anthony Joshua has fought a lot of tough fights. The only fight he never fought that we always wanted was the Tyson Fury fight, right? So that's the one that's, that's there waiting for everybody. But both of those guys are past their prime. Both of those guys have talked about retirement. Both of these guys, I mean Fury has been retired. I think at this stage of the game, at 36 years old, he seems a little punch drunk. He seems vulnerable in these fights. He lost to Dubai, he lost to Usyk twice, he lost to Andy Ruiz. You know, we've seen the best of Anthony Joshua. It's not like he's going to all of a sudden be better. He looks like a physical specimen. If you have no idea what the guy looks like, he, he looks like a bonafide legitimate ripped heavyweight, like, like Holyfield, like back in the day.
A
His body is like a beefier Michael B. Jordan or something, like a, like.
B
A DK Metcalf, like a, like a tight end. That's, you know, for visual purposes. If you don't know who he is, he's a legitimate heavyweight at this stage of his career. Seeing what he has been up to, watching his last few fights, seeing him fall short and acting weird and punch drunk and crazy after the fights, I think he takes his Jake Paul fight, beats him, takes the money, rides off into the sunset and that's it. He retires after that. Like you said, you're not going back to legitimate fights after being in the circus.
A
You, you bring up some of those heavyweights that are not, not like, you know, it's not like they're all done but all the heavyweights that we really enjoyed over the last 10 years, if you like boxing, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, they all sort of fell off a cliff around the same time. As far as like there's like something happened where it's like, yeah, they're just.
B
Not, you know what happened. By the time people mainstream became aware of who they were, they were slowly past or getting past their prime.
A
But if they were getting older, if you are going to pick one of those guys and you might say it's not beneath Anthony Joshua because he's not as big a name but how wildly fun would it be to have the personality of Tyson Fury against Jake Paul? Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson. How about Jake Paul, Tyson Fury now.
B
You can say that Jake Paul could handle Joshua. Then we could talk some fury, because I feel like.
A
Like I know you're saying they're all older and they're all aging, you know, heavyweights. But like you tell me right now, Jake Paul, Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury's personality alone could match that of Jake Paul. I just think Anthony Joshua is not that exciting of a guy. We just know he's a big, tough guy.
B
So. So do they take this overseas? The bloody blokes will go wild for this. Or do they reject it because it's like, get this stupid American idiot out of Wembley, out of our country. We want a legitimate fight. Who knows how they feel about it. But again, if you're just joining us, breaking news. Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul nearing a deal. Nearing a deal. Turkey Alice Sheikh said Jake accepted. He's talking to Joshua about it. Nearing a deal. Heavyweight bout in December. Streaming on Netflix. That would be huge because everyone would tune in. Even if they hate the idea, they'll still tune in. But even if you hate the idea is better than the previous idea. I think there's no debate there. It's better than him versus Davis. I just think it's just a better matchup. It might even be more favorable for. For Jake Paul simply because Gervont Davis is so small and elusive.
A
What about the failed thought that we talked about last week that never amounted. Nate Diaz, part two. No one cared. Yo, Danny G, you're a. You're a fight fan. You know, a little more casual than Kavino, obviously. Same with me. Are you intrigued by an Anthony Joshua, like a big former heavyweight champ type of guy like that? That's a test for Jake Paul, no.
B
Yeah, because of the matchup.
A
With the size, it is a better fight. Covino's right. And the question I have for Cove.
B
Last December, last September.
A
I remember you being excited for Joshua's fight, but he fought twice last year. How come he slowed down with his schedule? Is it because of the matchups or his age? Because he hasn't fought at all this year, dude.
B
He looked so shaky after a few of his losses. Was one fight in particular. I'm trying to remember which one it was.
A
He was, like, looking the wrong way, dude.
B
He. Well, that was one. Oh, no, that was. That was.
A
Yeah.
B
Deontay Wilder turned his head and got knocked out. Anthony Joshua, if you remember, Rich, I told you, he grabbed the microphone after being knocked out and he went on his whole rant, like, you know, embarrassing himself.
A
I remember that.
B
He's like someone Take the mic out of this guy's hand. Like he's been through too many battles. So I think I haven't seen it.
A
I haven't seen a speech like that since Steve Buscemi in the Wedding dude.
B
It was very reminiscent like that of that because you're like, this is really awkward, man. Like someone take the microphone away from him. But he's, he's had at least one.
A
Fight, by the way, each calendar year since 2013.
B
He slowed down because of age and because of the battles he was fighting and you know, teetering on retiring and does he still have it? And a lot of doubt, you know, not only from himself but from his own corner. But again, we were talking like a physical specimen for the ages, like an Olympic caliber heavyweight contender and champion in Anthony Joshua. It's just been, it's been a while since he's been that good again. He's 36. So your thoughts we'll go to the phones now at 87799 on Fox. Let's talk to Kelvin and Indy. Kelvin and Indy. The possible potential Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul fight.
A
Hey, this is the best radio show there is in history and life.
B
Thank you.
A
How are you guys doing? I love you guys. Yeah, Kellen's, y' all every day coming home from work. Appreciate you. Man of fact, I'm on my way home now. I'm going to pick up my grandson. But I'm going to say this. Yes, I had a lot of belief in Joshua and he kind of let me down a little bit. But I look at it from a different perspective. This is a competitive boxing because you're dealing with Usyk and all these guys. These are guys are not no club fighters, as they say. These guys got a lot of potential. So for him to have a record of 28, 4 and when you look at the grand scheme of things is not bad. Even though I know he's getting older now. So I think he should take the fight and re promote himself and see if something can come out of this. But you're right though. Once you go down that, that slope, it's very hard to come out of it. But he can promote himself even if he don't get the fight. He's a really handsome looking guy. Not to be funny and things. He's bad looking of a guy.
B
Joshua is the man.
A
He really, he could gain some popularity, you know, he could gain some popularity from this. And I'll say this, thank you for the call, man, and the ultimate test.
B
Rich. I did look it up because I Wasn't certain because you mentioned Wilder before. Wilder was the bronze bomber because he won Olympic bronze. Anthony Joshua was an Olympic gold medalist. Like we're talking that caliber of a fighter. Unified wba, ibf, nwo, former champion, heavyweight champion of the world.
A
I was going to say gold medals, but I wasn't sure. Yeah, gold medalist. So look at it this way. Here's the best outcome for Anthony Joshua and we can move on because I do want to talk James Winston. I find this guy to be the most entertaining dude there is. Anthony Joshua. Here's how it works out for him. He takes the fight. He beats Jake Paul quickly and convincingly, gives himself some confidence, gives himself a bigger pop culture name, and then maybe he trains for one more big fight against an usyk. Just. Or maybe he walks out on that high note. Like, listen, I'm done with real boxing, but I wanted to put an exclamation point on my career and knock this punk out.
B
Yeah, if he's teetering on retirement, which I think he is, I don't know for fact, but based on again, what I've seen his past few fights, he definitely takes this fight and that's it. Then you call it a day. And if Jake Paul wins, man, he's proven everybody wrong. You got to take him serious. As Turki Alisheek said, he becomes ranked as a heavyweight and. And he beat a former legitimate former champion and Olympian. So props. I'm. I'm all for it. I think it's a better matchup than Gervonta Davis. We were bummed to not get that fight and now we're a little excited about this one. But like you said, certain things you can't come back from. Savannah Bananas is a great example, even though I love them. You can't be a big leaguer, play for the bananas and then make it back to the big leagues. You can't be an Oscar award and winning actor being the next Sharknado and then think you're going to get another like box office smash. There's certain things you can't move back from.
A
You can't be in corporate America. You can't be a school teacher, then go on only fans and become a school teacher again.
B
Exactly. I don't think there's no coming back from that until we start to accept Jake Paul as a bonafide heavyweight champion or contender. All right, so we will talk. You said Jameis Winston. We also got to talk Jordan Love and overrated and labels in sports.
A
There's so much to. Because there's a Gronk hypothetical you and I completely disagree on so and no one loves talking about who doesn't love talking about Gronk? The guys who everyone's favorite bro. So a Gronk hypothetical and Cavino just I because I heard in the update with Dan Beyer, Jameis Winston getting the start. I have a question for you about Jameis Winston and I think you'll like it. We'll get to all that next. A lot of fun on a Wednesday CNR on FSR.

And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golf of Mexico. No, the America. No, the America. El Golfo de Mexico continuing forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in the. In this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Atlanta is a spirit. It's not just a city. I didn't really have an interest in being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. It's where Crunk was born. In a club in the West End 4 World Star. It was 55 9, where a tiny bar birthed a generation of rap stars, where preachers go viral and students at the HBCU turned heartbreak into resurrection. How do you get people to believe in something that's dead? Well, dreamers brought Hollywood to the south and hustlers bring their visions to create black wealth. Nobody's rushing into relationships with you. Where are you from? They want to look you in the eye. Where the future is nostalgia. Talk to my chatgpt. She like you. Really? The first lady to have a Gangster girls tape in Atlanta, Georgia. Like, that's what separates you from a lot of people. And I was like, you know what? You right. Atlanta doesn't wait for permission. It builds its own spotlight. I'm big rude. Let us guide you through the stories behind Atlanta's most iconic moments. Listen to Atlanta is on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's okay not to be okay sometimes and be able to build strength and love within each other. Thanksgiving isn't just about food.

I want to shout out the entire Fox Sports Radio Nation and anybody that might be tuning in on the Three Eye Atlas spaceship just in case. I want them to know I'm friendly, I'm a friend, and I'm one of the good guys. Covino, Rich. He hates you guys. Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Wow. Hey, bud.
A
I want to wish Russell Westbrook a happy birthday. 37 years old today. And before we get into your your feedback on Anthony, Joshua, Jake, Paul, before we talk a little Jameis Winston. And I know we have a Gronk hypothetical 18 years. This is his 18th season in the NBA. He played 11 in OKC. Do you think you guys can name the other 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 teams that Russell Westbrook has played for?
B
Well, we saw him play for the Rockets, so that one okc. You already said the Lakers.
A
Yes. Clippers, Clippers, Nuggets. Nuggets, Wizards, Wizards. And where is he now? Sacramento.
B
Yeah. Is that it? We got them all. Hey.
A
On the road again.
B
You know, we're like the Voltron of sports radio together. And collectively, we could do anything.
A
Last one standing.
B
So collectively, we. We're. We're one brain. Cavino and Rich. And before we get into all the greatness, Rich, on this hump day and midweek, major the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. We turn it over to the great Dan Beyer for an update.
A
What's up, DB Guys, bunch of. Bunch of happenings in New York City.
B
Jameis Winston's going to be the starting.
A
Quarterback for the Giants in their Week 11 matchup with the packers on Sunday. Because Jackson Dart has that concussion that he suffered last Sunday against the Chicago Bears. That means Russell Wilson is now third on the depth chart for the Giants. This is what Wilson had to say in the locker room after practice today. I love it here. I love my teammates. You know, I want to see us turn it around, you know? I know, guys, God's got a great plan for me. I don't know what it is today. The second as I stand here, I just want to wake up and have a great practice today. That's why, you know, wanted to have a great practice today. Zoned in on that. And, you know, I want. I want to see it through. I haven't asked for release or anything like that. I want to be here, you know, and. But, you know, I think for me, I just want to get better every day. I still want to keep playing football. I love it, obviously, and I feel like I still got it. I guess I lied. It was before practice. I thought it was after practice, but that was Russell Wilson earlier today. Yes. When he says God's plan. Not to get religious or anything, but, you know, God's given him, I don't know, a beautiful family, a superstar wife, a Super bowl championship, millions of dollars. So whatever God's plan or anyone's plan is, Russ has had a pretty good run. So, you know, this is a. It's. We're not seeing the best part of his life right now, but he's doing just fine. I'm sure God's pretty Concerned with Week 11, packers at Giants as well. Big. Big on his. Oh, man. Anyway, in other quarterbacking news, 49ers quarterback Purdy limited in practice, trying to get ready for that showdown with the Cardinals. Also limited, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. On the Cardinals side of things, no. Marvin Harrison Jr. He's out after having surgery for an appendicitis. He could miss multiple games because of the issue. Lamar Jackson didn't practice for the Ravens today, but head coach John Harbaugh says the quarterback should go tomorrow. Just resting a sore knee and he's expected to start against the Browns coming up on Sunday. Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving and wide receiver Chris Godwin were limited in practice today. No practice for Texans quarterback C.J. stroud in the NBA. Clippers guard Bradley Beals going to miss the rest of the season. ESPN reports he needs surgery to repair a fractured hip. Lakers forward LeBron James took part in five on five practice with the South Bay Lakers of the G League trying to come back from his sciatica. And Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo won't play tonight against the Hornets because of a knee issue. Guys, back to you.
B
Kove.
A
I don't expect everyone to have the charisma of Jameis Winston. And by the way, Dan Byer, you're the man. Thank you. I do, I do want Dan Byer to play that clip that he played earlier of Jameis Winston talking about playing in New York and he started singing Hamilton songs. Take a listen. I want fans to know that I'm going to do my best. I'm going to have fun, but I'm going to execute, have a surgical execution and just play ball, man. Like, this is something I've been doing since I've been four years old. And I, I just get to do it in the greatest city in the world. I'm gonna be saying it with my son.
B
What's the greatest city in the world?
A
Yeah, that's. That's a Hamilton reference. If y' all don't know. 10 year reunion, yo, I just, I know you can't teach personality Kavino, but how Jameis Winston's personality to me, like, carries him so much further because it seems like who could not like Jameis Winston? And I feel like some of the young dudes around the NFL take note. Carry yourself like Jameis Winston. I feel like people will like your performance still matters, but I feel like you have a little extra leeway when you got the personality of Jameis Winston. I feel like I smile every time I hear that guy talk.
B
You know, it helps in sports, but it doesn't matter in sports. It really doesn't. You know, Paul Skeen, Stan Byers. Not in the business of rumors. I am. I like spreading rumors. We live in the era of fake news and fake headlines. I don't know if it's true or not, but a Paul Skeens is as dominant as they come in sports. And he's got the weakest personality probably ever of all time. And the story with him today is, trust me, he wants to play for the Yankees. An anonymous teammate is spilling the beans and the tea saying he's heard him say it multiple times.
A
Well, I mean, Libby Dunn, remember she wouldn't get approval for that New York City apartment. She got a different New York City apartment. So when his, you know, when the love of his life, the beautiful Livy Dunn, is living in New York, it almost makes sense that Paul Skeens wants to end up there at some point. But I know it doesn't mean everything. Kavino.
B
But again, different personalities potentially in New York. Winston is great dude. There's no question. I prefer that. I think it takes you so far in life. But in sports, if you put up those stats, it doesn't matter if you're the worst guy in the world.
A
I get it. But I always say, like, like there's.
B
Criminals that you root for because they put up big numbers.
A
That is true. But you know, I've mentioned how like you, you always say Mets fans don't appreciate Pete Alonzo like they should. And you're going to now. We're probably going to lose him. Pete Alonso is the type of guy that's like, thanks fans for coming out lfgm and like, there's certain players that know how to treat a fan base and I don't know, like, take a page Russell. Russell Wilson is a goober. Jackson darts on the right track. But I, I feel like you look at Jameis Winston and like Jameis Winston. If not, you know, he probably has multiple media contract.
B
We always talk about the five tool player, right? I mean, why don't we just add the sixth element to this and be like, and he's, he's got charisma, he's got the wrist.
A
Media savvy.
B
He's media savvy and personality plus, because you're right, it's something that we don't give a lot of credit to. But if you're a leader in the clubhouse, in the locker room, a potential face of a franchise, it definitely helps.
A
Well, think of how many times. What do we say about Kike Hernandez? Yo, I freaking love that guy. Why? Because not only is a clutch player, but Kike Hernandez is funny as hell. Why is everyone a dud? Is everyone just a freaking dud? Is it their. They concentrate so much. They concentrate so much on athletics.
B
I'll tell you this, watching the Alex vs. A Rod documentary on HBO Max, his ex wife. This was a viral quote from the documentary. She said when she first met Alex Rodriguez, she felt sorry for him. Do you know why? Because she said he was stunted emotionally. His emotional and maturity as a person, his emotional, what would you say?
A
Intelligence.
B
Intelligence was so low that she felt bad because he wasn't fully developed as a person. Because his entire life, you nailed it. His entire life revolved around baseball. And that's all he knew. So maybe there's something to that too. To reach these heights and reach this level of greatness in that sport. You know, to be one of the chosen ones, to live out everybody's dream. You have to dedicate so much and sacrifice so much that you, you lose when it comes to just socializing and developing a personality and emotional maturity, etc.
A
But you know what? It just takes so little. Like, Danny G, you're the biggest Raiders fan I know. What if Ashton Gente just said, like, yo, Raiders nation, I bleed silver, I bleed silver and black, and we're gonna get this right and I plan on being here a while. Yo, silver and black, you got me. Like all it takes, little nuggets, like that becomes a sound bite. You become a fan favorite. But no, like a pitcher or a player is interviewed after a baseball game and they just have like a monotone voice and it's like, dude, hype up the freaking crowd.
B
You know what is rich here's. I'll give you a terrible analogy, but there's some truth to it. You know, beautiful women, like model women, are they known for their personality? No, they never had a developed one for the most part. I'm not saying I'm painting in broad strokes. I'm not saying there's beautiful. There's not beautiful model women with great personality. Of course there is.
A
What you're saying is if you have 98 mile an hour slider, you don't need to worry about being funny.
B
You're the man no matter what. You never had to really develop much of a personality, right? Because you were treated like a God in high school and you're Johnny football hero no matter what. So think about why certain women who everyone kissed their ass along the way, they really didn't have to develop much personality. Everyone loved them because they were hot. These are the equivalent of the hot chicks. These are the coolest dudes going who dominated their game. They didn't really need to focus on that. All they needed to focus on was scoring touchdowns.
A
I guess you're right.
B
I'm saying there's probably something to that. And then again, it's case by case.
A
Well be Jameis Winston is what I'm saying. We got a pretty funny hypothetical. It has to do with a great personality in sports, a guy cut from that Jameis Winston cloth. Rob Gronkowski. We have a Gronk hypothetical. Got to talk some Lakers because they have a big test tonight playing okc. So we'll talk some NBA, we'll talk some NFL. And we got midweek Major Mike's words of wisdom. So much and so little time right here. Kavino and Rich Roger there that.
B
I've.
A
Got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said 20 billion one 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's £529 from your cell phone. We are always open or a call center is always waiting to take your call. 24, 73 6. Wow.

Talking to Chad GPT she like you really the first lady to have a Gangster Girls tape in Atlanta, Georgia. Like that's what separates you from a lot of people. And I'm like, you know what, you right.

B
Man. Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. The more I think about Anthony Joshua. Jake Paul. Joshua's gonna whoop Jake Paul. If that happens, I. I'll explain later on.
A
Cause right now you were gonna say murder, but you didn't want to put it out there.
B
Yo, dude, he's 6 foot 6, 235. Jake Paul lost to Tommy Fury. Let's be realistic here. Jake Paul couldn't beat Tommy Fury. He's gonna be a former gold medal heavyweight former champion. In your dreams, Pedro. In your dreams. So I don't know. The more I think about it, he doesn shot, but if he does, my goodness, what a statement. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. It's Covino and Rich, and it's time for our tire rack play of the day. Justin Edwards had A team high 22 for the Sixers against the Celtics, but it was Kelly Oubre who iced the game.
A
Three point shot in the air. It's long. No good. Rebound uber put back. Good. Sixers lead with 8.7 to go. Timeout, Boston. Six seconds to go. Brown spins, he goes to Derrick White who drum and knocks the ball and White dropped it three seconds ago. He shoots it at the Hornets in the air. No good. The Boston Celtics missed and the Sixers did get a deflection. Andre Drummond knocked it toward mid court. Beat the Celtics by a deuce, 102 to 100.
B
Revved up like a deuce. That was courtesy of Sixers Radio network. And that was our tire rack play of the day.
A
Drummond. Your favorite Drummond since Peter Drummond, right?
B
Mr. Drummond is my favorite Drummond. I know.
A
For 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection, mobile tire installation. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be.
B
KOF. Yes.
A
Before the show, you and I were chopping it up about Gronk and just what a fun guy Gronk is. He's cut from that Jameis Winston cloth. Those athletes that somehow developed a personality along the way as well.
B
He's just a bonehead. Yeah, and a lovable bonehead, but lots of personality for sure.
A
You know, you say bonehead because he's very broy. But is it the rumor that Gronk never spent a dollar of his NFL money?
B
I say that with love. People say the same thing about me and I'm like, all right, whatever. I'm. I'm bro y. Okay, that's fine. Whatever. I don't. I Don't necessarily consider that an insult. I call you a bonehead. I call my friend. He seems like a friend, right? Like a guy you hang out with. We've hung out with Gronk. He's been on the show. He's, he is a bro. He's very charismatic, very funny guy. True story.
A
We used to do a Cinco de Mayo guacamole contest. We should bring it back. But back in the day before COVID when people used to like share food, Covid sort of killed the guac off. We used to do a guacamole contest and one year Rob Gronkowski showed up and he's like, I got my own guac. It's called Gronkamole, bro. And he presented Gronkamole?
B
Yeah, him and his beautiful girlfriend Camille Kostic, they were both on the show. We had a great time. So I say that with look, love, another very personality driven NFL superstar.
A
So here's my ground question. He signs the one day contract with the Patriots to be a New England Patriot forever. He talked about it.
B
He did it.
A
And he was with Robert Kraft. Take a listen.
B
Is there no audio?
A
Because I could say, hey, I'm a Patriot. Is it, Is there audio of a.
B
Rob, how about you play two days so we could keep you against the Jets?
A
There you go. Okay, perfect.
B
So we could tell you what happened. He had a 1D one day deal with the Patriots and then Kraft said, can you play? Can you do a two day deal so you could play against the jets for us? And Rich in our pre show meeting said, hey, Cavino, do you think he could just go out there and sort of rip it up? And I'm like right now without any preparation. No, not a chance. Not a chance. About injury, like, give me a break. The guy hasn't done anything at game speed in a few years. Rich swears, and I quote, he'd go six for 60 yards.
A
I think Gronk, I think Gronk is still conditioned enough and knows the game well enough.
B
Game condition is different though.
A
He knows that you could hit the.
B
Gym every day, but you haven't done a full on sprint. Hey, Rich, you go to the gym all the time. Yeah. When's the last time you did a full on sprint? And Sunday softball doesn't count. We're talking NFL. You year.
A
I, I full on sprint.
B
Yeah.
A
I mean game, game. I mean, I switch muscles during a.
B
Game are going to be way different than you doing a 2.9 mile per hour jog on the treadmill.
A
All right, well, hold on now. No one does 2.9 unless you're weak ass like you. But my. My second point is.
B
Yeah, but I'm at a 6.5 incline, bro. Gron.
A
Grony, I'm not telling you to play a full season. I'm saying Gronk, he could go out there, Colt. He may feel like ass the next day, but I think Gronk could suit up, play against The jets, catch 6 for 60 against the jets, and all sudden you're like, oh, wow. Like, he could really turn it on. I think.
B
I'm not saying he can't. I'm saying it would take, like, a good month, two months to prepare and get to that point where he could compete in the NFL. You're really downplaying the level of fitness and greatness that guys on the field currently are putting in.
A
Danny J. Just based on his football IQ and playing all those years super bowl champion, catching passes from Tommy, catching tutties.
B
Rich was saying cold, right?
A
Yeah, no, I don't think so. You don't think so?
B
No, no. He's been away for too long.
A
It's.
B
And he was. He was hobbling towards the end of his career. He had bad knees.
A
He was a little bit of a.
B
Decoy at the very end. All of a sudden, you think he's just lighting it up.
A
No. Well, hey, crocky, I believe in you. I think you could do it. I think. I think we've seen.
B
It's a fun question. It is. It's a fun question, but I don't think so. Yeah, two catches for 23 yards, maybe. Yeah.
A
See, that's even better than some tight ends in fantasy, so I'll take it. Well, we got your thoughts. Your thoughts. Could Gronk step in this weekend and do it? Plus, we got midweek Major and Mike's words of wisdom all coming up. This is the story of the 1. As head of maintenance at a concert hall, he knows the show must always go on.

Date: November 13, 2025
Hosts: Covino & Rich on Fox Sports Radio (C&R segment)
Main Theme:
Today's episode centers on breaking news in boxing—specifically the possible Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul fight—plus hot takes on NFL personalities like Jameis Winston and some always-on-brand sports hypotheticals (Gronk’s comeback). Lively banter, nostalgia, and reflection on how pop culture mixes with the world of sports, all delivered with irreverent humor.
The episode kicks off with the speculation and early reporting about a potential heavyweight showdown between social media sensation Jake Paul and former world boxing champion Anthony Joshua. The conversation expands into what it means for athletes to join the “sideshow” fight circuit late in their careers, the evolution of personality-driven sports celebrity, and a couple of NFL updates—including a look at Jameis Winston's charisma and a hypothetical about Rob Gronkowski returning for a game.
| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote | |-------------|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 05:27 | Covino | “The big butt is now this... Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul. Now that’s more like it. As Rocky Balboa said, ‘How about you pick on someone your own size?’” | | 08:20 | Rich | “If you’re an actor and you’re in Sharknado, it’s safe to say your career is not doing well… if you’re fighting Jake Paul and you’re a legitimate fighter, you’re sort of on your way out.” | | 16:08 | Rich | “Once you do it, it’s done… You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. So you fight Jake Paul… these are great, cool ideas, but remember: once you do it, it’s done.” | | 22:09 | Kelvin (caller) | “This is a competitive boxing because you’re dealing with Usyk and all these guys. These guys are not no club fighters… Even though he’s getting older now, I think he should take the fight and re-promote himself. Once you go down that slope, it’s very hard to come out of it.” | | 36:16 | Jameis Winston | “I just get to do it in the greatest city in the world. I’m gonna be saying it with my son…” | | 36:51 | Rich | “How Jameis Winston’s personality to me, like, carries him so much further… Who could not like Jameis Winston? … Take note, carry yourself like Jameis Winston.” | | 51:17 | Rich | “I think Gronk could suit up, play against the Jets, catch 6 for 60… All of a sudden you’re like, oh wow, he could really turn it on.” | | 51:22 | Covino | “Give me a break. The guy hasn’t done anything at game speed in a few years… You’re really downplaying the level of fitness and greatness that guys on the field currently are putting in.” |
This episode of The Dan Patrick Show, helmed by Covino & Rich, delivers a spirited discussion on the evolving nature of sports celebrity and legacy, using the current rumor of an Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul fight as a framing device. The hosts break down what such a fight means for the sport of boxing, the athletes’ careers, and for pop culture. They seamlessly pivot to praising personality in sports—exemplified by Jameis Winston’s infectious charisma—and debate how former stars like Gronk could fare if thrown back into action.
Funny, fast-paced, and insightful, the show remains a must-listen for fans who like sports coverage laced with real-talk, nostalgia, and a pop culture edge. Even if you missed the episode, this summary gives you the context, arguments, and memorable moments that had fans buzzing.
